The Fail-Proof Way to Get Fast, Highly-Targeted Traffic that Converts
Want to know an awesome free software that can help you get massive amounts of fast, targeted, free traffic that converts, completely independent from the algorithm changes of Google and Facebook?
I’d like to introduce you to one of my favorite little tools: BuzzBundle. This is one of my all time favorite traffic generation tools.

Before we dive into how to use this awesome piece of software, let’s touch upon the what and why.
Entering into conversations happening around the web is one of the most powerful ways to get your message (and business) out in front of the people who matter. Period.
The day before I wrote this chapter, I submitted a link to a Thai words and phrases guide I created to reddit.com/r/Thailand.
It was the most upvoted post of May on this particular subreddit, and quickly made the list of top all-time posts on /r/Thailand.
Aside from the importance of sharing insanely valuable content, the lesson is this: a single link like this, which takes less than 30 seconds to create and post, can attract tens of thousands of targeted visitors to a website or blog.
A site like Reddit, in and of itself, is a wonderful source of traffic. But what if we wanted to go beyond sites described in other sections of this book such as Reddit and Facebook groups, and 10x our efforts?
Enter BuzzBundle.
There is no other tool that does what Buzzbundle does as well as it does.
Once you install it and start using it, you’ll see results — fast. Which is more than can be said of most marketing efforts. With just thirty minutes of use per day, you can very well see your first sale within the first week, and continue seeing sales for as long as you use the tool.
The more you use it, the more visitors that your site will have. Better yet, it helps to draw targeted visitors who are proactively looking for solutions right now (in other words, hot prospects!).
Best of all, like many other tools tools in this book, BuzzBundle deploys the magic touch of automation to do all of the hard labor for us. It’s like a hardworking assistant that goes to work scouring the web (from Quora to niche blogs) to find our targeted audience on blogs, social networks, Q&A sites, forums, video sharing sites, and so on.
A friend of mine from college reached out recently wanting to work for me. So I offered him the chance to collaborate on a side project — a niche affiliate site that I had created and put on the back burner.
Using a brand new domain, with a simple logo from Logojoy and no links or domain authority, we used Buzzbundle as our primary source of traffic. We divided the workload, each spending 30 minutes per day using the software. I was in Thailand, he was in California, so we could be online at different times and take advantage of more opportunities.
I saw our first affiliate commissions come in the morning when I woke up on the second day. We cracked the $1,000 a month mark within less than three months and the site has been a delivering a steady increase in revenue ever since.
Getting Started
Download the free version of BuzzBundle at buzzbundle.com. You’ll also need to install Java if you don’t have it already.
BuzzBundle is rather straightforward and simple to set up. Open the tool, click “Create new project,” and then “Add streams.” You can add or create as many profiles as you like. You can also add multiple personas.
This means when you use the tool you can use various “aliases” so when you post it looks like a neutral third-party recommending your blog or product! BuzzBundle also helps you set up multiple profiles for each persona, so you can really multiple the effect and create quite a buzz around your website or product.
Once you’ve chosen your networks and created personas, begin entering 4-5 keywords related to your content or area of expertise.
So, for example, if I wanted to promote my book “Hack Sleep” I could easily pull a bunch of keywords from my book description page such as insomnia, sleep better, sleep disorders, melatonin, and so on. Under the URL field, you can add a link to any domain, blog, or property (either your own or competitors).
About six months after I published “Hack Sleep,” Ariana Huffington came out with her own book called “Sleep Revolution.” Had I known of BuzzBundle then, I could have taken the opportunity to direct a ton of people who were talking about her book to mine by recommending “Hack Sleep” as a supplement or alternative to “Sleep Revolution.” I could have also found reviewers and asked them to review my book as well.
And I could do all of this under my name or under “third person personas” — by using an alias, and saying something to the effect of “One book that has really helped me with a bunch of useful sleep techniques that I can recommend highly is ‘Hack Sleep’ by Danny Flood: [link to the Amazon page].”
You get the idea :)
Think of other products or competitors in your niche who are getting decent PR or undergoing a big launch. You can then piggyback off their hard work and direct some of their buzz towards your own web properties.
Note: if you are using multiple keywords be sure to use proxies so that the tool doesn’t get blocked. I recommend HighProxies. You can set these up by clicking “Preferences,” then “Search Safety Settings” and choosing “Proxy Rotation.”
It’s time to get started! After you’ve entered your keywords, click “Find Buzz” and let the software to go work for you. In just a few short minutes you will have a list of hundreds, maybe thousands of people to engage.
Once it’s finished, you will see four columns that display relevant conversations within different categories of sites: Q & A sites, social networks, blogs and forums, and finally video sharing websites.

Browse the results and start engaging people. I recommend holding Shift while you click on links so that you can open them in your preferred browser. You can click “Comment,” “Answer,” or “Reply” at the bottom of each piece of content within BuzzBundle, or visit the website itself and write your message there.
Find people that have questions related to content you have written about. If you find highly trafficked threads, leave useful information, and link back to your site, you will immediately begin to see significant amounts of traffic come.
Even better, this is VERY targeted, active traffic that is highly likely to engage with your website if you have great content. They tend to stick around, read more than one page, subscribe to your newsletter, make purchases, and so on!
BuzzBundle is also really wonderful as a discovery platform where I can find all types of relevant outlets in a niche. I can see what affiliate products others in my niche are promoting, and I can use it to find potential partners and business opportunities too.
If I search “digital nomad,” for example, I can find all kinds of web properties and people whom I had never even heard of. I could these people onto my podcast, casually dropping a link to my site for reference, creating a win-win for everyone:
“Congrats guys on getting your Patreon page up! Your videos look so fun :) Are you interested in doing any podcasts to talk about your journey? I have a podcast where I interview nomads, would love to have you guys on :) [Link to podcast]
As you work, make note of the URLs of highly trafficked websites and save the URLs to a Google sheet. On some blogs and forums, you’ll want to come back and interact often. Create multiple posts so you don’t come across a spammer and get banned. Make different types of posts such as introduction, general comments, crack jokes, etc.
Spend 30 minutes a day repeating this process or whatever time allows. When you’re done, click “Save” in the upper right and save your work. If you target forums, some might make you wait before you can add a link to your website, so save addresses, login information, and so on. On many forums you’ll need to verify your email before you can post.
Finally, vary up the way you write comments: some long, some short, some agreeing with a poster, some disagreeing. Be helpful and act natural. You can create your own threads, and ask for feedback. Or you can link to a buyer’s guide on your website and ask for opinions.
The comments you leave using BuzzBundle are timely, and relevant. Before long you can insert your website or product into conversations everywhere — using your own name, or using personas.
This neat piece of software creates a competitive advantage that your competition doesn’t know about and can’t possibly match. Let them spend all the money and do all the hard work that SEO requires — while you get all of the sales, subscribers, and customers :)
Ironically, use of this tool can also improve your SEO too because it helps you build links in a natural way as well as skyrockets your engagement and conversion rate, leading
Google to believe that you have a high quality site!
Conclusion
This neat little tool is a great way to take charge of the conversations happening around within niche online. It takes a bit of work to set up and a learning curve to get going, but you may find engaging your “tribe” to be quite fun!
If you have multiple products or a lot of content to promote and can’t be bothered to manually write comments each day, you can hire a virtual assistant and train them to do the work for you. You can find an easily find a good VA to work for you part-time for $200 a month through Upwork or OnlineJobs.PH and with a few quality, wellconverting products easily get the money back with some to spare.
For instance, let’s assume you had six books on Amazon. You could hand off to your VA a list of keywords related to each book and ask them to spend thirty minutes a day promoting each (three hours total).
At a very basic level, you could hand them off messages to leave such as these:
“Hi there, I have [Book Name] to be very a informative and helpful book about [keyword topic] that might interest you. You can read it here and feel free to ask me any further questions.” [Link to the book page]
“Hi, if you liked this book about [Competitor’s Book] then you will want to check out this one. I found it very informative and helpful.” [Link to the book page]
For Twitter: “Hi [USERNAME], if you’re interested in sleep hacks that actually work, you will want to check out this book! [Link]”
These are very basic comments to give you an idea, but messages that are too generic and not personalized can be easily weeded out as spam and even moderated by blog and forum owners and deleted. If you post a blog comment linking to your website under a persona, then obviously don’t add the domain in the website box too or you blow your cover.
Remember, you’re representing yourself in these discussions and chatting with real people, so you’ll want people to respect what you write. You also want to contribute and be helpful, so that will people will want to reciprocate by visiting your blog or product page.
So whether you write these comments yourself or hand them off to a VA, it pays off to use a little thought, sense, judgment and a display of knowledge about whatever it is you’re writing about.
Good luck, and have fun :)
