    I just want to know who makes a decent amount of income from their website without spending a dime on marketing? And how did you market?

    Well, I have a few sites that I don't spend a "dime" on marketing them. They do require "time" though.
    Blogs need to be updated frequently, so I need to add posts every other day or so. I also write and submit articles which is free but takes up a lot of time. Once you start to see some income, then you can outsource these tasks if you choose to.

    I do. I just made something better than what was already out there. Search engines found it, from there, word spread.

    Like the other posters said unpaid marketing is hardly "free"

    You are paying in time rather than cash.

    Personally for driving traffic with little or no cost my plan is to:

    1.)Write Articles about a problem, then introduce a general solution.

    2.) Link those articles to a blog that moves from a general solution to specific (my product)

    3.) Link the blog to my sales site.

    This drives traffic and slowly converts browsers into buyers. There's of course a lot more to it than this but that's another idea for you.

    Start writing 5 article per week. It's not terribly difficult.

    hope this helps.

    What you are forgetting is that SEO, article submission etc. are also some kind of marketing, you are spending some resources (time is a resource as much as money would be) to help promote your product/service/website. Marketing is not just paid advertising :)

    Assume that you will spend both time AND money to earn a solid stream of revenue from your sight. If your niche is popular, then pay per click may be only means of ranking for any key words for at least a year. If studied and tweeked properly, paid advertising can result in profits that help you out in the early stages.

    There isn't a free lunch....You need to spend either time or money to make money...period.

    Intellectual effort is also part of the equation as a viral idea could take off on its own but those aren't thought up everyday.

    People that sell items like IKEA.

    If you don't already have a popular company, npot too likely that you'll get rich with out spending first.
