While doing my research for pavleur.com I did found interesting facts on how to get free monthly users.
This might intrigue but would love to know which one was working for you and which one not.
Step 1: Pick the Right Keyword
Used Ahrefs to find a keyword with low difficulty (KD < 20), decent search volume (500+), and plenty of related terms. A lower KD means easier to rank.
Step 2: Potential Sales
For a worldwide audience, estimated 1500 searches and about 30 sales a month at a 2% conversion rate.
Step 3: Product Fit
Aligned our product exactly with what users search for—“speak English like a native.” Keep it straightforward to engage users and improve Google ranking.
Step 4: Keyword Everywhere
Placed the main keyword naturally in the domain, title, and alt text to boost SEO without overdoing it.
Step 5: Expand Coverage
Created pages for each related long-tail keyword. Made sure Google sees them by linking them on the homepage and a special category page.
Step 6: Free vs. Paid
Offered both free and paid options. Free stuff keeps users around longer, boosting SEO. Paid options generate revenue.
Step 7: Build Backlinks
Launched on Product Hunt for quality backlinks. Even ranking last wins because it gives a strong backlink.
Step 8: Patience Pays
SEO takes time. Typically, three months to start seeing traffic, six for more substantial results.
Step 9: Keep Improving
Regularly check and tweak your strategy based on performance data.
Conclusion
You can get real results with minimal budget and effort.
What I want is to Set it up, let it run, and watch the traffic roll in.
Simple as it sounds it ain't like that.
