Learning to be a successful Internet Marketer

Good day fellow warriors!

This is my 2nd posting here as a warrior member. (1st post on the test forum, hehe) Hope I'm welcome here.

So I still learning on making money online but every time I got myself information overload and in the end, is either did little things or do nothing. Quite frustrated myself sometimes when seeing other people became successful Internet Marketer and I'm still the same dot.

I went to internet marketing classes before, self-study on internet marketing stuffs but hardly see much progress. Tried to do what others still doing now. For example, creating a opt-in page to capture leads, write articles and so on. Still no much progress.

I wondering if I do it the wrong way or not doing more enough. hmm?

Recently I just bought a domain and a plr product. Looking for writer to write articles for me because article marketing is the most familiar marketing technique I know. Want to test it out for couple of months to see if I can get any leads and make any sale.

Beside article marketing, what other ways are best for generating traffic?
Links building - how to do that?
forum posting - this is very difficult for me.
social media - how? just post url?
blog commenting - time consuming.
traffic exchange - takes too long.
Any other?

Some more now the big G search engine making so many changes, how to make G happy and rank high and well?

Erm.. okay, that's all my ranting. Hope to get fellow warriors help.

Thanks!
