How to Turn Push Notifications into a Free, Automated Traffic Machine

 Push notifications will automatically drive traffic whenever you launch a post, offer, or content.

TL;DR
Push notifications are browser-based alerts you can use to re-engage visitors—even when they're not on your site. They're like email lists—but lighter, free, and super stealthy. Set up once, let it run on autopilot, and drive traffic whenever you launch a post, offer, or content. Subscribers click, you profit. Just don’t spam them!

🚀 What on Earth Are Push Notifications?

Think of the little pop-up bubbles on your phone or browser when Facebook or Twitter pings you. That’s the vibe. You set up a snippet of code on your website, customize the opt-in message, and when people visit, they might opt in to receive your updates—without ever giving you an email.

It works like this:

• Visitor lands on your site, sees a prompt: “Hey, want notifications from this blog?”

• They click “Allow”—and now you can ping them anytime.

• You share new blog posts, deals, or videos; they see a small alert and click.

To the visitor, it’s quick and easy. To you? It’s built-in traffic that gets better with scale.

💡 Why I Use Push Alerts in My Marketing Mix

1. Automated traffic engine – Once installed, it delivers traffic on tap.

2. Diversified traffic sources – You shouldn’t rely on just SEO or email—it’s smart to spread your channels.

3. High engagement – Push messages often get 6–15%+ click-through rates.

4. Free, passive growth – No autoresponder fees; you only invest once.

5. Ultimate flexibility – Promote new posts, affiliate offers, YouTube videos—you name it!

🎯 My Real-World Results: Nearly 1,000 Subscribers Strong

I split my push campaigns across three sites:

That’s nearly 900 subscribers in just a couple months. Each campaign sends, say, 20 clicks. Multiply that across three sites… boom.

🔧 Favorite Push Tool (Free + Pro Features)

I’ve been using PushCrew (now called VWO Engage), but tons of tools work:

• Totally free starter tier

• Pro features like image icons, buttons, and CTA templates

• Smart send suggestions (e.g. “Hey, your best CTR happens in 5 hours—so schedule it!”)

• Auto-duplicate campaigns (great for re-sending top performers with new links!)

Tech setup is a breeze: copy–paste script to your site, customize opt-in prompt, and go.

✏️ Best Practices for Push Success

• Treat subscribers like people—not spam bots. Don’t blast them 15x daily.

• Optimize send times based on historical data (those “best time” suggestions help!).

• Promote a variety—blog posts, affiliate deals, launches, new videos.

• Track clicks per campaign. That’s your gold metric—not just subscriber count.

😂 A Little Marketing Humor

• Push alerts: Like the fridge light of the internet—always on and ready to snack (er, click).

• My push tagline: “Hey, this popped up—might be your next big thing!”

• Not seeing results? Could be because you’re sleeping on the script. It’s passive, not lazy.

🏁 So, Should You Use Push Notifications?

Absolutely—especially if you’ve already got a website with some traffic trickling in. It’s free, easy, and effective. Set it up, watch your subscriber count grow, and send occasional juicy updates. Those clicks will come—and sometimes they translate into real sales.

It’s not a silver bullet—but when you combine it with email, SEO, and social, it becomes a stealthy growth tool that quietly drives traffic and dollars.

Next steps:

1. Pick a push tool (PushCrew, OneSignal, VWO Engage, etc.).

2. Install the code on your site.

3. Customize and style your opt-in prompt.

4. Promote any update or offer with a timed alert.

5. Watch the clicks (ideally 6–15% CTR—not half bad!).
