Hi {{ first_name | }}

Here’s the thing no one likes to admit: a lot of the traffic “advice” floating around online is… dusty.

Like, “still wearing skinny jeans and quoting 2017 Pinterest hacks” dusty.

And if your numbers feel stuck? It might not be you…it might be the fact that you’re trying to grow in 2025 with strategies that belong in a time capsule.

So today, I want to give you 3 uncommon traffic tips that are actually working right now (and the outdated moves you can finally stop stressing over!)

Regardless of what it is you’re trying to grow, whether it be a podcast, a YouTube channel, a blog, or selling products, these apply.

✨ 1. Micro-Content → YES. Spray-and-Pray Social → NO.

Short, snackable content (think 30–45 sec Reels, TikToks, and YouTube Shorts) is getting major reach because platforms want people glued to their feeds.

Ditch: posting the same static graphic everywhere and wondering why no one clicks.

✨ 2. Interactive SEO → YES. Keyword-Stuffing → NO.

Google’s favoring content that keeps people engaged, like quizzes, tools, calculators, interactive widgets. Blog posts with “time on page” stats are thriving, while keyword-stuffed posts that read like robot soup are sliding off page one.

Ditch: writing 2,000 words of fluff hoping Google still cares.

✨ 3. Direct Audience Touch Points → YES. Playing Algorithm Roulette → NO.

The real growth in 2025 and beyond is email + SMS + private communities. Algorithms can change tomorrow, but if you’ve got a direct line to your people, you’re untouchable. The businesses scaling fastest this year are the ones funneling traffic off-platform and into owned channels.

Ditch: crossing your fingers that the algorithm gods will smile on you this week.

The creators who thrived in 2025 are will likely continue to in 2026 aren’t the ones chasing “what worked before”nope, they’re the ones staying nimble, repurposing smarter, and building assets.

Thanks for reading today.
