Gain Tumblr Traffic Without Buying a Bot


I've read through all the Tumblr posts about how to gain followers with bots & proxies, but I wasn't ready to spend money on this yet so I have another method that's completely free.
  1. Create a Tumblr account & verify your email    address.
  2. Design your page to go with the site you're    trying to attract people to. (I made my Tumblr    page look like my Ecommerce store & added a    fixed HelloBar at the top to collect email    addresses)
  3. Find relevant hashtags people are using in    your niche
  4. Go to iFTTT & create an account.
  5. Select the recipe for Instagram to Tumblr    posts.
  6. Configure the recipe so every time a photo is    posted to Instagram with your selected hashtag    the image is then posted to your Tumblr Page.
  7. Add html to the "photo caption" area of the    recipe that will link people to your site.
  8. Select 'Start' & just wait.
There are a few catches with this method:
You will have to manually go back to your posts on Tumblr & add a click-through link for the image. You can only set the click-through as a caption currently with IFTTT
Tumblr will only let you post 100 photos a day on an account.
But if you do this right you can start to get real traffic to your site & quickly build up an audience. I've had this running for about two weeks now & I'm up to 600+ Tumblr Followers, 50+ uniques a day, & plenty of likes & reblogs on Tumblr itself.
