Non-standard traffic sources: How to use Reddit, Quora, and Pinterest with the goal
of scaling
With competition and costs rising on traditional platforms like Facebook and Google,
more and more affiliates are looking for new sources of traffic. Platforms like Reddit,
Quora, and Pinterest can be great not just for reaching new audiences, but also for
promoting your products or services.
Reddit
Reddit is one of the biggest online platforms for sharing information. Over 1.6 billion
people visit the site each month, and most of them are from the US and other Tier-1
countries.
The main way to promote your content on Reddit is to take part in relevant subreddits
and use the Reddit Ads Manager to create ad campaigns. It's important to remember
that users of the platform want to see content that's relevant to them and useful. Also,
Reddit offers low-cost clicks for niche offers.
Quora
Quora is a popular question-and-answer platform that attracts about half a billion
visitors per month, mainly from the solvent English-speaking audience.
To get free traffic, it's important to answer questions by sharing expert info with
links to your offer. Another paid option is to run ads through Quora Ads, where
you can set up targeting based on interests, keywords, and demographics. On
top of that, Quora lets you create native ads that look like regular replies, which
is especially useful for Gmail newsletters.
Pinterest
Pinterest is a platform for sharing pictures and ideas, that mostly appeals to
women. This platform is great for offers in the fashion, nutra, handicrafts, and
cooking verticals.
Pinterest is well-known for its low competition, high level of user engagement,
and the option to promote through contextual advertising in a business account.
The key is to create top-notch, regularly updated content that will be of interest
to your target audience.
Payment for ads
The LeadingCards service provides handy solutions for media buyers, offering
payment support on non-standard traffic sources like Reddit, Quora, and Pinterest.
With a range of cards and the option to choose the necessary GEO, you can easily
manage your spending and keep control of each campaign, avoiding any payment
issues.
Now that you're aware of new ways to scale, it's time to test and try out new
traffic sources to reach your goals!
Good luck!
