How 4$ Idea can Increase Website Traffic by 1000%
Many marketers would recommend this idea in order to increase their traffic because its not only cost effective but also helps you in getting excellent traffic and brand awareness. I will give you a idea on this by giving a real life example.
Free Tshirt
I told him to get in touch with a Custom Designing T-Shirts company which sells a Tee for 4$ when you order a minimum of 100 T-Shirts in bulk. Now the total cost would be around 400$ for him. Along with this i told him to start a page on his website where it was written that recommend three of your friends to signup for their service, blog about this and you get a guaranteed T-Shirt for free of cost. Now with a very less promotion this campaign went rocking with more than 100 bloggers signing up for this and since this was in a chain they would even recommend their friends to signup for the service and grab a free Tee.
Each Blogger would blog about the amazing service, the free T-Shirt and also refer 3 more friends, which would overall cost my friend not more than 4$ per review. Isn’t it amazing that the same guys who were charging 25-200$ per review now did the same stuff for 4$ and also promoted these blog post reviews on facebook, stumbleupon & twitter to get referrals. This can give you a idea on how to approach and get things done which would normally cost you hundreds of $ and still would have given a boring result.
Bloggers can also opt for this strategy by implement ideas like Offering Free Domain Names, Free Hosting Accounts, Free Mouse Pads, Free eBooks etc which can create a buzz in the blogosphere and give a special boost in the whole blogging world. Did you implement any of these strategies to grab website visitors?

We originally got in touch with a local T-shirt printing company. You can contact justdial.com people and ask them for custom tshirt printing companies and take quotes from them. Single/2Colour designed Tees with a small punch line cost not much amount and you can get them at a lower price when ordered in bulk.
