Do you ever feel like some of your marketing efforts have become tired and aren’t delivering results?

Of course, you can (and probably should), look at what’s going on with specific activities. But another option (or maybe an additional option), is to try something different.

Personally, I need to try new things every now and then. As much as I love what I do, part of what keeps the inspiration flowing is trying new things and seeing what sticks. 

The three marketing channels I’m sharing with you this week aren’t necessarily new channels, but they may be marketing channels you don’t use, haven’t tried, or simply aren’t consistent with.

It’s always good to look for additional traffic sources and see how the market responds.

• Motionbox.io
  This used to be named something else (think it was StoryCreator?), but it’s still the same great product. Easily create stories for your content with templates, a built-in editor, and automatic subtitles.
• SendFox
  SendFox is an email marketing platform from the team at AppSumo. I’m testing this with a new site for my journey moving to Costa Rica (through another site). Clean, easy to use, free for up to 1000 people, OR a lifetime deal for only 49 bucks! 
• Gravitec
  Push notifications aren’t new, but they’re certainly worth trying. Better yet, what about testing how well they drive traffic for free? Gravitec has a free account with up to 10k subscribers. Try it for free today.
