How did you get traffic to your startup website?

I’m using around 8-10 channels to drive organic traffic to my silly side project

Just to name a few that brings most quality traffic and conversion: Instagram, Quora, Slideshare, Pinterest

1. Instagram: Created a regular (3 times a week) routine to publish content and contribute other’s post
2. Quora: Answering ~3 laser focused questions related to my project and industry
3. Slideshare: Publish downloadable content, maybe once a month
4. Pinterest: Custom board (I’ve around 4-5) and collect relevant pins

Since we cannot afford paid ads at the moment, here are the channels where we mostly get our traffic:

1. Content/Blog Writing - especially if properly tweaked with the right keywords, and written very well.

2. Social Media Traffic - always create social media posts for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, add the right hashtags, good graphics and queue them( we are using Buffer).

3. Email Marketing - just build up your email list and send whatever you think is appropriate.

4. Creating more Backlinks/Guest blogging

5. more SEO - tweaked your landing page, or the whole of your website. There are lots of easy strategies you can find on the net how to do this. Also this blog might help you out: https://www.pluginsandsnippets.com/1907/how-to-prepare-a-seo-friendly-landing-page/

and many others. :) Hope these help!
