    "Besides adwords do you know a good place where I can buy traffic?"

    You can try being an advertiser on adf.ly as another source of paid traffic. But it's best to get free organic traffic. Use the adwords tool to research your most profitable keywords and optimize your site around them.

    Oh, I definitely have a problem - Getting followers on Twitter.

    My Goal:

    Promoting a blog about movie reviews

    Questions:

    1) What should I tweet about? Always relating only to my niche or depending on who follows me.

    2) How often should I tweet?

    3) Should I search manually for followers or wait till someone follows me (whether through my site or somebody else's profile).

    It would help a lot to get the answer, thanks ahead :)

    I had the same problem when I started. I wanted to try everything and ended up executing nothing because I kept getting distracted with new ideas. I started getting results when I set up a morning success ritual and you can try this as well. The previous night I write down on paper the next day's tasks/projects. The next morning I follow a morning success ritual that consists of the same diet, exercise, meditation/relaxation, and review of the previous night's notes. Then I write down how much time to allocate next to each task based on how I feel near the end of the ritual. This sets the tone for the rest of the day. Then I turn off my phone and email and check it once at noon and once at 4pm (this is hard for most people at first but it really helps you focus a lot). When I create a morning success ritual it takes me about 3 weeks of doing it daily before it becomes an automatic habit. Most people it'll take between 5 days to 30 days before it sticks. And when it does you'll become more focused and double your productivity.

    If you don't have any twitter followers try following others in a related niche as yours. Tweet something related to your niche and get others to retweet you. Sign up for an RSS feed for news updates related to your industry and tweet about it. Try to engage other twitter users daily. Don't wait for others to follow you because that will be really slow. You can also create a facebook fan page promoting your blog and your twitter handle.

    Hello and thanks for helping. I would like to know if you've had success with selling Clickbank products and what's the best way in your opinion to promote. I like the CB setup and would love to earn more money as an affiliate. I'm not too interested in becoming a vendor at this time. Thanks in advance.

    Start tweeting and following others on Twitter. You'll get followers.

    Econox, when you try to sell Clickbank products, you need to make sure that the landing page and sales letter of the product you are getting people to go to, CONVERTS!

    What I have found for many years is that you the sales pages and landing pages of many products are horrific and just do not convert. Also stay away from any sales page or landing page that has an opt in for a newsletter, because all you are doing is building their list, from your efforts. You get nothing, they get a list to work with.

    Find a really good product with an excellent converting sales letter, and then write a review about the product, the good, the bad and the ugly about the product, add any reviews from customers, that is the best way to get people to click and go over. After that, it is the sales letter or landing page that then does the work. Do not try to sell them on the product before you get them to go to the sales page.

    Hope this helps

    I think you should have a look at twiends! You can also pay to promote yourself there, and set filters so only certain people can follow you etc.
