Hi guys, I actually stumbled across this website in the hopes to find a community that I can gravitate towards. I've been reading up on quite a few articles and post submissions from other members on this forum. It has been EXTREMELY helpful. (Just want to thank all of you) Not sure if you guys give background speeches, but I've decided on a career switch. Did quite a bit of research in terms of what I could operate with very little overhead, and came to the conclusion that online marketing would be best. I've recently just started my own website which has decent amount of high quality content, some videos, and quite professionally built. The website currently has ZERO traffic and this is where I'm stuck. As I stated above, I've read a lot of articles and posts, but everyone's very opinionated in what tools/methods worked for them. I understand traffic can be bought, borrowed or created. I'll have to create JV and/or affiliate program to borrow traffic from other affiliates first. In this month, I'll want to setup high quality backlinks, advertising and social networking pages. My question is, should I invest into SEO software's such as SEO Powersuite or WEBCEO? There's a lot of softwares, websites like spyfu.com and others to choose from. More than likely, I'll be purchasing a license for scrapebox and have scrapebox scheduler setup as well. I'll also be doing some manual posting on various blogs and similar sites to setup dofollow backlinks. If you have any advices on E-Books, tutorials, analytic programs or others, please feel free to comment. Constructive criticism is always welcome. Thanks, Loui
