Hey everyone, When you launch a new site, the hardest part is the first visitors. No rankings, no audience, no budget… and every backlink opportunity looks either spammy or paid. I tried a bunch of free options, and here are the few that actually brought real humans + early SEO signals: 1) LinkedIn Posting small “build-in-public” updates got me organic clicks without pushing links. People follow the story, not the promo. 2) Product Hunt Even a modest launch gives weeks of traffic and a few natural backlinks from sites that monitor PH. 3) YouTube Shorts 30–60 sec videos answering niche questions = constant discovery. Tiny channels still get views. 4) Reddit If you contribute first, people accept your link when it genuinely answers their question. Some threads sent great early traffic. 5) ListAndFuse This one helped with clean, human-written backlinks. You review another site’s UX for 5 minutes, and someone else reviews yours — backlink created automatically, no AI content or accounts. That’s what worked for me so far. What other free platforms or tricks have helped you get early visitors or safe backlinks? Would love to learn from your experiences.
About 4 months ago I was bored so I launched my newest site. It's just a social chat type of forum, the link is there in my signature. If you go scroll down to the bottom info center you will see that I had about 900 visitors at one time online on Oct.15. In fact we got over 4,700 visitors in a 24 hour period. (all real traffic) How did I acheive this? I hired a guy to advertise my link all over the place for a set period of time. He only charged me $50...So find someone to do that for you and just watch what happens...good luck to you with all. https://introvertsisland.boards.net
I’ve found that consistency and small daily habits make a huge difference. Even 5–10 min of focused mindset or audio sessions helps maintain clarity and productivity. Curious if anyone else has tried similar daily techniques to boost results?
