Work--> Stop Working--> Steady Traffic = How?

    Man. I been trying very hard to come up with something to get steady traffic. I think I almost blew up Googles search engine one night. I've read it all; write articles, join forums, comment blogs, PPC, sleep with Tom Anderson of MySpace and etc. None has really brought steady traffic. just temperary. Although, I haven't tried sleeping with Tom yet.

    I'm not sure how to do this but I want to do something massive so that I could gain steady traffic. The most traffic I get is when I've worked all night and I may earn $20 tops that next day. I usually average $15 or less per day not including adsense which brings in maybe $4 a day which also has dropped within the past couple days.

    I promote "GPT" sites (get-paid-to). It's sites that pay members for taking surveys and completing offers and such. I was using these sites until I decided to just promote them. What is a really good strategy I could do to keep traffic coming in to a site like this? I'm really out of ideas on this. I can't afford adwords anymore as there is so much "paid survey" competition out there willing to pay alot more than me to advertise.

    Anyone can help me?

    Promote within those GPT sites? I think that most of those sites have a autosurf program.

    :s I was a member of these sites for a long time but I don't know anything about an autosurf program.

    And you can't promote within the GPT sites because they're strict in their forums and stuff :[

    Have you looked into affiliate programs? They're really excellent for supplemental income and a lot of our affiliates make way more than $15 a day! ;o) Hope that helps.

    I do use an affiliate program for these sites. The reason I choose GPT sites to promote is because they're free to signup, which more people will more willingly sign up to rather than buying something and risk losing.

    What sort of traffic are you getting?

    Have you considered making a virtual product and selling it on your site? Depending on the quality of the product 1 sale might be enough to get you $20.

    Hope this helps

    noo but actually thats a good idea except, I won't sell it. I don't want to sell anything. I could maybe give it away and allow people to give it away for free with my website in it of course. But how could I be sure that the people won't edit the ebook or something before they pass it out to their audience?

    Definitely sleep with Tom. That's your best bet.

    Here's another service you can promote on:

    Perhaps make a YouTube video. About 1 minute long with some real or heck even fake pictures of payment proofs. Be sure to link to your website before the video and after and in the description box. Some other things you could try is try your PPC campaign on smaller search enginges. You would be surprised how many people use Ask.com and other smaller search engines!

    Yes, Ask.com, that is a good idea. Just keep plugging away. How old is your site? I think that if you just started it, you will do just fine in the long run if you keep it up. Regardless of what you hear or read, people are not setting up websites and getting 1,000 visits per day in ONE day.

    Keep it up!

    Just have patience. It's nearly impossible to make money overnight.

    Yes, just keep up the good work, and it will pay off in th long run! Also try looking into the "Digg, and stubleupon community. I am just starting to do this myself, and I here it is a good form of marketing.
    Oh yeah, LMAO!! I hope you didn't sleep with Tom, I heard he sold myspace...Could just be a rumor though...not sure...lol

    Those who are persistent, usually come out on top at the end. Just keep trying new things, don't give up.
