Most successful internet marketers had a hard time before they became who they are now. It took them years to make their business work. They, probably, had money problems, not enough time, people were holding them back. But they managed to succeed.
Why am I telling you this? Don't assume that you can become successful overnight. You can't just invest a huge pile of money and expecting to become the next Donald Trump. You might suffer a lot of failures before you find something that works for you. Be persistent in what you do and spend your time wisely. Always have a plan. Now, let's talk traffic:
1. Build your Email list. Build a relationship.
You need to have great content. You see, people are going online to look for information. They don't care about your well being and your financial situation. That's why you will have to build trust with them. Forget that you are a marketer. Give them freebies, useful info and other stuff that will help them. The moment they feel they can trust you, people will leave their email addresses on your website.
2. Using PPC
This is one of the most popular and fastest ways to make money online. You pay money for each targeted click and you get a potential customer for your blog. The downside is that you have to invest your money. If you are a newbie, you shouldn't start with PPC.
3. Submit your articles
Provide interesting articles. Submit them to all article directories, therefore exposing them to more people. Make sure your content is unique.
4. SEO
Build backlinks to your blog. You can do it by submitting your links to various forums (preferably the ones that are in the same niche your blog is)
5. Forum marketing
Find a forum that has the right audience. Become friends with other people and be helpful. It is like building a list, but only through forums. Put your link in the signature section of your blog (not a promotional one) and people will come.
