How to drive traffic to my links without spending time, only some money?

I don't have time to market my business.

My sites, blogs and Squidoo lenses had good rankings before the last Google change, but now I'm sad because the traffic dropped and I have no time to do anything because I'm always busy providing services and spending too much time. I should charge more or work faster, but this is not possible. I don't know if I'm having advantages with these services in the end because I'm spending too much time with each case... Anyhow, this is what is happening and I have no time for marketing.

Should I ask for help at the jobs section and hire warriors to market my business?

How could I find a good business partner who would do all the promotion on my behalf without spending a fortune?

PPC doesn't work for my products, which are based on new scientific discoveries (PPC is good for buyers, not for thinkers).

I have a ridiculous Facebook fan page that wouldn't help me with Facebook ads.

What would you do in my place?

    I would find some friends who have a huge network of friends on Facebook and Twitter and then ask them to promote the business for me and have some steady income out of it monthly....

    I don’t know. Perhaps something like $50 - $70 per month?

    Twitter and Facebook? They don’t work if you don’t have the right tools and the right connections, and I have no time to look for anything.

    I hate Elance and especially Odesk. Guru is too confusing.

    I tried them a long time ago and I regret having done that…

    You need to decide what sort of traffic strategy you are going to use, then outsource it. Do you want to try to get your sites to rank again in Google if (so you need SEO services), or would you prefer to seek out traffic from other sources - video marketing, forum posting, article marketing, etc?

    Once you know what you want, then search for providers, both here on the WF (WSO's and classifieds), and on places like Fiverr.

      This seems to be a great concern.

      You fall under an Online Merchant category and require huge references. An Affiliate network would help you to grow by online referrals. If 100 people start posting your company's banners in their Website, automatically the traffic will increase.

      More number of online visitors will be at your site, more number of inquiries will be submitted from your web-page and you will find more business opportunities. Hence, start appointing Affiliates to get into a flooded inquiries..

    clever7, if your sites based on scientific discoveries, how do you monetize them?
    Are the services you render metnioned in your 1st post somehow related to your sites/blogs?

    if you or someone has been doing low quality/spammy link building for you on those sites, rankings may be very hard to recover unless your remove all the unnatural links and submit reconsideration request. If that's not the case, then you may consider decent seo service. If it is - then looking into non-SE traffic sources (social signals, video marketing, solo ads) might be a better option.

    I sell my ebooks – a small ebook collection or each ebook separatedly. I’m selling them but I face a fierce competition that I cannot beat. I need a lot of traffic to sell more ebooks but it’s more than hard to get this traffic. I need help.

    The service I provide is to immediately translate dreams for the public and provide them with psychotherapy. In my ebooks I teach them how to translate their dreams themselves. Most people prefer my fast translations than studying how to scientifically translate the meaning of dreams.

    I wasted a lot of money building my websites. I spent a lot of time with SEO but in the end many mistakes were made. I won't waste my time with this matter again at the moment. I will focus on sending traffic to my sites, blog and lenses through videos. This is something I didn’t try yet.

    I even bought a video software from a WSO two weeks ago but I didn’t have the time to learn how to use it…

    I will look for help instead of trying to do it myself and market my business through videos, which I didn’t think would work for my business because I need good students that want to study my lessons, and not people who don’t like reading and prefer videos, but you never know…

    My intention is to also sell my ebooks (which are ready) instead of mainly translating dreams for the public (which is time consuming). I want to continue translating dreams for the public but I want to sell more ebooks. The last Google change made me open my eyes and understand that I have to do a lot more if I want to get traffic.

    I will focus on video marketing.

    Thank you!

      Just bear in mind that professional quality videos cost a lot of money to create (like $60-$100 per 30 sec!) and poor quality won't convert. If you find something much cheaper and yet of decent quality - let me know!
      Anyway, good luck with finding the right contractor for videos!

    I would focus on improving ranking for your sites on search engines. Add more content to your sites and organize a nice diverse link building strategy. Video is certainly an engaging platform, but it can be expensive to produce high quality videos. I would add video to your strategy, but I wouldn't rely on it exclusively.

    Finding a business partner can be difficult, and I don't see that being worth your while. To provide you with better advice I'd have to see your business plan and market projections.

    I see…

    And I know that I have to create many videos if I want to have positive results; just a few videos won't make any difference.

    I used Fiverr too. It helped my sites somehow, but not enough.

    I know that it’s hard to find a business partner you can trust.

    I won't touch my sites though, I already spent too much with them, and I wasted a lot of time improving them. Now I need to send visitors through other ways. SEO alone didn’t help them so much.

    My content is excellent, original, etc. My sites had many advantages with last year’s updates. The Panda was very good for me, but the Penguin update ruined everything I don’t know why. I don’t have fake links, my sites’ and blog’s content is original and helpful.

    I guess I will try press releases. I’m a writer myself by I will outsource this service because my style doesn’t fit for the press and I have no time to write many press releases. I already saw that if I want to get massive traffic I have to do something meaningful. Otherwise, I have no chances to beat the competition.
