I took some notes on some of my successful past experiences about generating traffic to my side projects. Would be nice to hear also about your experiences.

    Great list! Can you share some Fiverr providers for content writing? Cheers!

      It really depends on your niche. Most of the time I am working with different providers per project. Just let me know which type of work you need and maybe I can give some recommendations.

      1. 1

        Site content that is SEO and converts and blog content. We need it for wisenotifications.com

        Also, it would be useful if you could share with us your criteria for Fiverr providers. We had mixed results with data gathering.

          Most of the time it is rating and amount of reviews. It is also important to contact seller before you order and tell them about your expectations.

          I prefer sellers who has their own blogs and can write and publish my article there. Then you can also build some back-links with that strategy.

    Hey great article Farid! I was just curious how did you go about allowing users to embed your site on theirs? Was it just a sharable link they put on their sites? or was it more technical?

      Thank you! It is an embed code like zopim.

    One of the biggest tips to drive traffic it to have a community around. If you do not have, try to build it
    2- Some Competitor Traffic hacking, steal and drive traffic to your project.
    3- Use Content Marketing. ( in my Case it is SEO, Infographics, Videos)
    4- Work of Growth Hack to go viral and improve social proof.

    Right now i am working on Easymove Project http://geteasymove.com

      Thanks Emin. I think all of these points can be explained in details in a blog post. Are you planning to write a blog post about it.
