Here we are in September already, so it's time for my monthly traffic stats update. 

In the video I show you where my active subscribers came from who joined my primary mailing list in August:

## I didn't actively promote my Lead Capture Page in August. ##

Instead, I spent most of my free time researching and writing an academic paper which I was planning to present at a conference in Hiroshima last weekend, but unfortunately, Typhoon Shanshan disrupted those plans - the conference was cancelled.

So most of the traffic to my lead capture page came from passive sources of traffic generation.

In August, 37 new "active" (double-optin-verified) subscribers joined my primary mailing list, which I use to promote my "100% Commission Funnel."

## Comparing August to July: Consistent Passive Growth ##

July wasn’t the most active month for me either. Even so, I managed to bring in 38 active subscribers, again mainly through passive traffic generation. 

What the last two months' results show is that with the right set-up, you can maintain a steady stream of subscribers, even when you’re not so actively engaged with your online business.

## Key Sources of Passive Traffic ##

Let’s talk about where my traffic is coming from. The major players for me are:

**YouTube:** Once you have videos up on YouTube that draw traffic, it becomes a passive traffic source. My videos continue to bring in new subscribers every month.

**LeadsLeap:** This is a great source of passive advertising, especially if you're an upgraded member as I am. Upgraded members can post 10 "pro ads" that generate targeted traffic day in and day out.

**Traffic Zipper:** This tool connects several top-performing safe lists and handles mailings on autopilot for you. 

These three sources - Traffic Zipper, Leads Leap, and YouTube, are my top passive traffic generators.

## Minimal Effort, Significant Results ##

Now, let's look at my actual activity in August. I uploaded only three or four videos to YouTube during the month. Despite this low activity level, my subscriber count did not drop. In fact, it was quite steady! Here's a quick breakdown of my stats from August:

- YouTube: 15 active subscribers
- Leads Leap: 5 active subscribers
- Traffic Zipper: 4 active subscribers
- Viral Mail Profits: 3 active subscribers
- Traffic AdBar: 3 active subscribers
- Direct/unknown: 2 
- My blog: 2
- Leads N Profit: 1 subscriber
- Website Traffic Rewards: 1 subscriber

I was able to add 37 active subscribers in August without much active promotion. A large percentage of these came from old videos I posted on my Youtube channel.

## The Power of YouTube for Free Traffic ##

If you're looking for free traffic, YouTube is the place to be. It costs nothing to create a YouTube account or upload videos, and the traffic can be incredibly consistent. 

Sure, it requires some effort to make videos, and you might feel self-conscious at first, as I did, but it gets easier over time. My first video was horrible, but I kept going. Now YouTube is my top source of free traffic.

## My September Target ##

August wasn’t a bad month at all, considering how little I did to promote my business. However, my goal for September is to be more proactive and I'm aiming to pull in at least 60 new "active" subscribers - about two a day. With some consistent effort, I’m confident I can reach that target.

If you are building a list, what are your best sources of traffic? Let me know in the comments below.

Cheers!
