    1. If you don't have a budget, use articles marketing.
    2. If you have budget, do PPC.
    3. Never give up. Continuous effort pays.

    My 2 cents worth...
    1) Just do something... Dont wait for the perfect idea
    2) carry on do something... Dont jump ship tat fast
    3) do something else... Repeat your success

    Regards

    Depends what their marketing, but...

    Ignore rumours and seo/marketing myths
    Dont follow any blog/person/site that refers to themselves as guru, expert etc
    Dont purchase a ebook with "secrets"
    Try all free methods of promotion first
    Mix up your approach
    Understand that different sites are marketed differently
    If something isn't working, dont keep doing it blindly because its easy
    Dont see mistakes as bad, learn from mistakes, take something from everything that happens.
    Try and be a little better than you were 3, 6, 12 months ago.
    Keep reading, keep trying new methods.

    1. Advertising and word of mouth are the only real ways to bring in a lot of quality traffic, so focus on them. Especially advertising. SEO, posting on boards, submitting to networks, article marketing in article submitter sites, contests, so on and so on, are pretty much useless.

    2. Create a bunch of ads and then have them critiqued. Ask others if they saw such an ad, and they were looking for such a product, would the click on it.

    3. Do a search for all the sites that match your product so you can start your advertising program. The more sites you advertise in, the more money you make.

    Volume!

    i would agree. keep your head up because you cant always find the perfect way to do something on the first try. it takes trial and error and experience to improve and perfect your marketing. i would warn against jumping on with every great product you see. this really doesn't work well and drains your bank account rather quickly.

    1. sit down, think about it, see what is best for you for your budget, don't follow others, do your own thing.
    2. Don't give up and it will work
    3. Don't believe in miracles

    1. Just try whatever that you feel is right, that way you will know what works and what doesn't.
    2. Use article marketing even if you have a huge budget.
    3. Do press release at least once every month for your business website.

    #1 - If your in it to make money DONT buy traffic unless it is google ads.. Buying 10,000+ visitors to your site is pointless because none of the visitors will convert to $$...


    #2 - Be Patient... You won't see instant results, instead you have to keep working harder and harder each day. Study your competitors, what are they doing right?


    #3 - BACKLINKS, BACKLINKS, GOOD CONTENT, GOOD CONTENT.... The key to making money and getting quality traffic to your site is GOOGLE. Build QUALITY backlinks and have good content on your site and Google will reward you for you hard work.


    GOOD LUCK

    I would advise You to do some ppc if you can afford it and You know what You're doing. It's one of the fastest ways of getting traffic.
    Test convertions.
    At the beguining focus on free sources of traffic like articles and SEO stuff.
    I would also focus on an optin page.
