Introduction

Paid traffic is when you spend money to bring people to your site. Think Google Ads, LinkedIn campaigns, sponsored posts — anything where you're paying per click, impression, or conversion. It’s not better or worse than organic, it just does a different job. Paid traffic is fast, controlled, and scalable — if your funnel works. I usually start here because it gives you early signal. If people don't click, don’t convert, or don’t finish your free course, you know quickly that something’s off. But it also burns cash fast. So you have to know exactly what you're testing and what success looks like, or you'll just run through your budget with nothing to show for it.
