3. Add italics and strikethrough to Youtube comments.
Just like in my first suggestion this is all about standing out when it comes to Youtube comments. I guess I'm big on Youtube because it's the second leading source of referral traffic online to Google.
To make a Youtube comment in bold put an * at the beginning and end of the words you want to appear in bold. To make a comment italic put an _ at the beginning and end. To make a comment have a strikethrough put a - at the beginning and end. This is a great way to make your comment pop and if you put a link in that comment, you know they're going to click.
4. Buy popular Instagram accounts and start posting to them.
Instagram has become one of the most popular apps and social networks. With so many eyeballs on Instagram every day it only makes sense a market has emerged for selling accounts. There are several websites dedicated to connecting buyers and sellers. Once you've acquired an Instagram account you can then post and message to the followers. Sending them directly to your website and increasing your website traffic.
5. Provide helpful answers on Quora.
Quora is a question and answer site that has continually risen in popularity over the years. One of the reasons Quora has been successful is the quality of answers you receive to questions you've posted on their site. By participating in the conversation you can build a up a reputation and occasionally share a little bit about your business, directing traffic back to your site.
