Long term and profitable online marketing.

I have been here for a while now. I have learned alot. I always like to understand something before I jump into it so I dont waste my time.

What I have understood from Internet Marketing whatever way you go about it and however many WSO's you read, its all about build a list and promote a product. Ofcourse you can do this without a list but you would not be making any residual income.

Now I am deciding which route to take.

If you dont understand what I mean like for example should I focus on SEO and rank as many website for profitable keywords. But then I think it takes up to much time.

Or should I jump into the 'paid traffic' lane.

I have already striked selling to small businesses off my list.

There are so many other pathways I can mapout in my head now but it would take too long to explain.

I will have about only 3 hours to spare a day. And looking for a route or preferably model that will not take more of my time than this and be profitable at the same time.

I would like to hear from the people out there that have been doing this for a more than a few years and find out what models are best for a person in my situation.

    There are many other options. The choice isn't "SEO traffic or paid traffic". First, SEO traffic isn't necessarily free; secondly, there are many other kinds of free traffic that aren't SEO traffic. There's free and paid SEO traffic, and there's free and paid non-SEO traffic, too.

    Personally, I'd advise you to stay well away from SEO traffic (paid or free) for two main reasons: first, it's very precarious, makes your business Google-dependent, and any business that's Google-dependent is no more than one algorithm-change away from a potential accident (or even a potential disaster), as so many Warriors have been finding out over the last year or two, some of them to their very great cost; secondly, in my experience of promoting about 30 different ClickBank products and making a full-time living from it for over 4 years, in 8 entirely different, unrelated niches, search engine traffic has been uniformly the worst-converting traffic out of everything I've ever tried - search engine visitors to all my websites typically stay the least time, view the fewest pages, opt in the least often and actually buy anything by far the least often.

    You're right about listbuilding, of course - good luck!

          Wow I really like all the points you made, they are very diferent form what everyone else on this forum seems to be shouting but it makes sense.

          I am trying to find some good places for information on paid traffic. I cant seem to find alot of this forum, just always SEO.

          Could you lead me to the right place? A good WSO you recommend? Even one you have written?

          Thank you in advance.

            Have never done one (I'm not in any IM/MMO niches at all). Sorry, I can't help with this, but others who are better informed will doubtless reply soon enough. The only form of paid traffic I've ever used much was PPC advertising (which, if you do it using something like Google's AdWords, is of course a form of search engine traffic, too).

            Solo ads and media buying (e.g. banners on other people's sites) sound like the kind of thing you need to find out about? But not from me, I'm afraid!
