In this instructional video, Hernan Vazquez answers a Quora question about generating rapid website or app traffic. He outlines two primary approaches. The first is paid traffic through pay‑per‑click (PPC) advertising on platforms such as Facebook, Google AdWords, YouTube, Instagram, and Pinterest. He emphasizes that PPC delivers instant, scalable traffic but requires a monetary budget, making it suitable when funds are available for quick testing and iteration. The second approach targets creators with limited or no budget and relies on organic traffic from forums and Q&A sites. Vazquez explains how to locate relevant communities, create a high‑value “ultimate guide” tailored to the audience’s needs, post it within the forum, and promote it via signatures and additional answers. He shares personal success stories of building services and authority using this method, while noting its time‑intensive nature and lack of guaranteed results. The video concludes with a call to action for viewers to comment, like, and subscribe.

Hey everybody, what's up? Hernan Vazquez here. On this video, I'm going to show you how to get traffic fast. Hey guys, what's up? Hernan Vazquez here. Welcome to another video, and thank you once again for the support, for the messages, for the bomb letters, and all those kind of things that are a ton of fun. Sorry about that joke, I didn't mean to offend anyone, but the point is that you guys have been amazing with the support, with everything, so keep it coming, okay? Because keep it coming, I'll keep delivering, and so we have kind of an agreement over there. Now on this video, this is a question that I got on Quora recently, and it was how to get traffic fast, okay? I'm launching a website, I want to have like really fast iterations of my website. So how do I get traffic fast? This is a question that I got on Quora recently, and you know, let's say that you have an app or you're launching a service or you want to generate a new version of your website. The best way to go would be to get a ton of traffic so that you can get a ton of feedback and then, you know, have several iterations of your product, your service, your app, whatever. And for that, you need traffic, and you need traffic fast. So basically, I think there are basically 2 ways of generating a ton of traffic fast. The first one is something that you can control and leverage. The second one is not so controllable, and you cannot really leverage on that, but it will anyways, it will give you a ton of traffic. So answer number one would be PPC. You know, pay-per-click. It could be Facebook, it could be AdWords, it could be video ads on YouTube, it could be Instagram ads, Pinterest ads, whatever, whatever sort of platform that your actual audience is gathering around and you can place an ad over there, like a banner on a forum or something like that, that will give you a ton of traffic. Now the truth is that you need to invest to get that traffic. But the upside of that is that it's instant. Like, you can, you know, you flip up on the switch and you get traffic like at the minute. And it's scalable. You know, you can cut the cord at any point in time. You can, you know, you can revamp your strategies. You can do a ton of things that you cannot do with some other strategies. Okay, now again, this does require money. And if you're testing out, if you're launching, probably, you know, you do not have that money. And that budget is better spent on your product development, for example. Okay, so that's step number 1. I, you know, I get a ton of clients or a ton of people that's telling me, I need SEO results right now, and that's like a paradox. You know, if you're doing SEO, do not expect instant results. If you expect instant results, go do PPC. Okay, so that's that. Step number 1, PPC. It's scalable, it's instant, and I think it's one of the fastest way of controlling the traffic that you get to your websites. Now step number 2, and this is if you're starting out, if you do not have the budget, this is a more time-consuming task, but it's super, super worth it because not only the people that visit you, it's not controllable, it's not scalable. In fact, you do not have any, um, any guarantees that it's gonna work. But you need to try it anyway, okay? Because the people that ends up visiting you, they'll end up visiting you from another perspective. They just not see an ad and click on it and see what's going on. No, they know you beforehand, and this is the strategy that I want you to know. So head over to, you know, a Q&A site or forum. I'm gonna leave links below to other videos where I go about how to get traffic from forums. From Q&A sites. What you want to do is to find an audience and find somebody or a group of people with a need, okay? That's why I love forums for this strategy in particular, and this strategy has given me a ton of money, like literally. You know, I have kickstarted services, link building services, web design services based on this strategy alone when I didn't have any money. So what you want to do is to find a forum where your audience is gathering. You know, again, I'm gonna leave a link below so that you can see how to find them. There's a guide that you can download, it's completely for free, and you can download that guide and it's super easy. Now, once you have found that space, that universe where your people are gathering, that they have questions and you can answer them, what you need to do is to craft the ultimate guide of something, like the ultimate guide of how to get a 6-pack on a fitness forum, or the ultimate guide on how to make a link pyramid. In my case, you know, that's what I did. Or the ultimate guide on how to increase conversions of your website. You want to craft a great piece of content that will solve a ton of needs and that will give people a ton of value. All right, so you want to create a thread where you post that ultimate guide, ultimate guide of something, you know, in particular, like getting a six-pack, or the ultimate guide for training your Schnauzer, or something like that, or contacting aliens, whatever you want to do. So you want to craft a really, really valuable piece of content, and I mean that it has to be really valuable. You know, it can take you If you're really good, a couple of days. If you are, you know, like me, probably even a week or 10 days or whatever. But it's gonna be your top-of-the-line star content, okay? And you want to post that on that forum. So once you've done that, if the forum is hot, if the subforum is hot, if the thread is good enough, it will start getting a ton of traction. Now, on the video that I talk about forums and Q&A sites, I give you like the basics. Like, if you do not comply these steps, do not try to do this because you're going to waste a ton of time and you're going to waste a ton of traffic. Now, the point is that once you have that piece of content, you want to start marketing it. And you can market it— what I like about this is that you can market it within the forum itself. So you can leave a link on your signature to that guide and you can start posting on other, you know, answering questions and whatnot and all of the people will see that content. And the more people that see that content, the more people will engage with you, the more people will thank you for that content and the more people will actually visit your website. So that's how you get a flood of traffic from a forum, from a Q&A site. You know, you see on Quora.com, for example, that I've been messing around a ton recently. You know, you see these questions with, I don't know, 22,000 upvotes and 500,000 views. Now tell me if that doesn't entice a click, okay? Somebody, you know, getting out of Quora and checking these people's profiles out, you know? And this stands for videos, you know, any kind of super, super valuable piece of content that you can craft and you can, you can create. Because basically you are telling people that are really into that market, hey, here's your solution and it's for free. Here you go. Boom. Okay, you post it and that's it. And then prepare for the traffic, of course. But that's basically my 2 ways of getting traffic fast. If you have a budget, you need to start investing in PPC. Like, it doesn't have to be a ton of money, it just has have to be enough so that you can get a ton of traffic and you can test and you can make a new iteration of your website, your app, whatever. And on the other hand, if you have time but not money— remember that there's no such thing as free traffic— but if you have time and not money, what you can do is to start creating ultimate guides and post it on forums. Like, take this approach for, you know, a month, 2 months, 3 months, and you will see that you will get a ton of traffic and a ton of authority based on this strategy alone. I'm telling you because that's exactly what I did to kickstart a couple of services and whatnot, okay guys? And I keep on using it now to, you know, whenever I send a new service or whenever I launch a new course, this is the strategy that I take, all right guys? Thank you once again for listening. If you love this video, just drop me a comment, you know, on YouTube, on Facebook, wherever you're watching this video. Drop me a like, you know, a thumbs up, subscribe for more. And I would love to know what you guys have to say about this strategy. Thank you once again for watching, and I'll see you in the next video. Bye-bye. Bye.
