    Hi,

    You are trying to make consistent sales by trying to attract new customers every
    single day.

    That's a hard task to do.

    If you built an email list on the other hand.

    You can then at least stay in contact with the people you have on your list.

    You can then have them pass through a pre-created sales funnel that you can
    construct as you move forward and allow them to buy multiple products
    and services from you as they pass through that funnel.

    My advice for you is to...

    ...Build your email list.

    Create products and services that people want, need and desire from you.

    Or you could consider working on Fiverr to save up money, then with the money you make you can invest it in traffic towards a squeeze page.

    Places like Fiverr are an easy way to start making money quickly.

    You need to create relationship first instead of focusing on sales.

    Try to figure out the problems your audiences are having and create the solution for them.

    When you give people value, value comes back to you a hundred fold.

    Give value to yourself by creating your own system, sales funnel, blog, videos, content, forum marketing, etc.

    Be everywhere, which i know you have been, but be the answer instead of shoving products down peoples throats.

    You will start to get leads in your list slowly but surely like a snowball effect.

    If you have some funds you can also invest for solo ads to help build your list and cultivate them with value email techniques and not spam.

    When you start making money, you can reinvest 80% back to your business with paid traffic again then your business scales pretty quickly.

      Yeah sounds like to me you're jumping from one ship to another. You have to stick to one thing or else you'll never see any results. You gotta dig dig dig until you strike oil. Furthermore, you have to buold your email list. Building a list of people that know like and trust you is the best way to make sales and repeat sales. Plus when you grow your list. It has a compounding effect on your sales but that's only if you're providing valuable information that actually helps people. I see alot of people that concentrate on the latest SEO tactics and strategies when all that comes secondary to writing helpful content. Think about it, if you write content solely trying to rank in search engines. Then the traffic that comes to your site are going to look at your content and may not be helpful. In my opinion, concentrate on writing helpful information that helps people then concentrate on the technical stuff afterwards. In the end you're dealing with people and not numbers on a board.

    What does "working with Pinerest" mean? How are you trying to monetize? It's hard to know how to help without knowing what you're doing.


    Still, I'd suggest you figure out what you want to do first. Search for free ebooks on the topic. Go to the library and get general business books. Internet marketing follows the same business model people have been using for centuries. People seem to forget that.

    Once you know what you want to do then find a bunch of people that are doing just that. Look for highly successful people, beginners and folks in between. If they have newsletters, subscribe. Go to Youtube and find people working the same market. I did a search there yesterday and learned a TON of stuff from a couple of smart marketers.

    One guy was selling something in a particular way and I said, HEY! I can do that, only I'll do it with ___________. I got a lot of ideas. You don't need lots of fancy video courses or ebooks or anything else until you decide on marketing something you know and like first. Then see what others are doing and finally, if there's info for sale for that market, then buy and try it. Good luck.

    A lot of people gave you good replies and advise here.....

    Free traffic and paid traffic is definitely something to think about.

    While free traffic is a plus, and there are many ways to get that, paid traffic gets faster results
    and it doesn't always have to be expensive.

    An email list of your own is your own personal traffic asset. Sure it takes some time and a lot of
    work, but in the long-run, it's traffic that you own and so many things can be done with that traffic. Be especially good to your lists and give good value, as helping others is the true core of your business.

    So...... Traffic and your emails lists will work very well for you.
