Yes, agreed, all are good and viable traffic methods... the challenge is that any one of them is a full time job in itself to get steady and profitable results. There is something new on the horizon, Video ads on YouTube, now that's something anyone can do and it's the cheapest traffic you can get.
what about the Pay per click options that search engine offers such as Google and yahoo???... i guess it could become a little to expensive!!!
Yes, it can get out of hand fast due to big companies in the last year or so realizing for a small part of their million dollar budgets they can control keywords. The new kid on the block for cheap advertising that works is video ads on YouTube. They seem to work just because of the massive numbers of videos being watched.

You've got a nice start. Why don't you put that movie on the homepage so when people come to your site it starts playing? I like that it tells about your company--people may want to see that. I agree also that if you a blog or articles that would definitely help. Maybe once you get the traffic and customers email addresses you may be able to email monthly article updates and tips.

hey thanks... we're expecting it will become a legal replacement for spam that has not really been replaced with another easy way to generate targeted traffic. catch you around.
You have a good way for beginners to learn, just one problem. You state "Start writing. About what? Easy..anything at all that interests you." Although this is true, most people can't write, even if they do know something about a subject others don't know but want to know. Affiliates are a great way to get started and adsense is a good direction but it can be mighty slow. I think you will find video ads are the next advertising breakthru.
ppc is tough today with the giants buying up all the good keywords. they start you at 10 cents and in 10 min it's $10. If you find off words that are getting some traffic, you can do some profitable business but not like a year or two ago. Youtube video ads are the new kid on the block.
Pay per click is a good route to take, lasb 100. You cannot get big, not even close, without advertising. Just make sure you are advertising on the right site. Do your homework.
