Why Waste Time on Free Traffic Methods When There is an Easy Button?

I read so many posts about people jumping through hoops just to get some free traffic, i.e. blog commenting, article writing, etc. While these tactics may work, are they really worth the time that you put into them?

I have seen people write five articles a day and spend at least a couple of hours a day commenting on relavent blogs. They post their results and are happy with their two to three sales a day. Heck, some are so tickled that they write a PDF about it and sell it as a WSO.

Do these people ever stop to think about their hourly wages? How much time are you sinking into making these handful of sales a day? When you average it out, are you even making minimum wage?

Now think about if you were to use paid advertising to get the same amount of traffic. Once you do the keyword research, it takes very little time to monitor your results and tweak PPC campaigns. Your results will likely be better, as well.

What's that? You don't have the money for a PPC campaign? That's hogwash! You set your own budget. I have started PPC campaigns with $10 and ramped it up as the sales came in. In no time, I was spending hundreds of dollars a day, all from the proceeds from the sales. You can do the same.

Try ramping up your article writing efforts that fast. Unless you are a machine, you won't be able to do it.

The trick to PPC is deciding how much you are willing to spend per sale. Once you find the balance between your cost per acquisition and market reach, then you will be shocked at how easy it is to start flying on autopilot, freeing you up for your next campaign to run simultaneously.
