2. Forums!  Although forums are kind a dying breed, they can still bring you quite a bit of traffic.  Even better is the fact that they can bring you highly targeted traffic since you are browsing topics that fit your niche.  Also try searching http://answers.yahoo.com for related niche topics.

3. Blog to build a loyal following.  The more trust you can build with your audience, the more money they spend with you later.  If an audience knows that you give great information, and you do so in an efficient manner, they’ll come back again and again.  Don’t sell – Presell.

4. Submit!  No, I’m not asking you to give up.  I want you to submit articles to directories, submit your blog to directories, and submit your links to other blogs and blog carnivals.  Submission can really bring a ton of traffic.

Getting traffic to your website

OK, obviously, traffic building is not for everyone, and it takes quite a bit of work. But, it’s a necessity, and it’s something that must be done to ensure that your website is one of the few that “make it”.

If you are the lazy type, you may better suited finding another way to make money online.  Lazy bloggers are broke bloggers.

Now, on to the good news.  If you can find an unsaturated market, you don’t need a lot of traffic to make money.  It actually takes very little “targeted” traffic to make you a ton of cash.  The smaller the niche, the less traffic you need to compete with the “big dogs”.  In fact, it may not be that hard to become a big dog yourself.

So that’s tip number one.  Find the right niche.  The right niche may make the difference between success and failure, so do yourself a favor and pick the right one.  Remember, smaller niches are easier to compete in.  Smaller niches also take less time to make money in.

I know.  Easier said than done right?  Not really – click here to see what I mean.
