In the offline world, there are many things you must do everyday to keep your business running. In the online world, there is one.

Generate Traffic!

Yes, I know there is a little site maintenance and some emails to answer but you should always be thinking traffic, traffic, traffic.

You can have the best looking site on the whole wide web but if the only people who know about it are you and your mom... What good is it?

Traffic Generation is a daily job and should take up about 80% to 90% of the time you work on your online business. If you only have a couple hours each day to work on your business, you can't spend the first hour chatting with friends.

Get Started

The first thing you will need to do is start! Your site is up, mom has seen it, probably more than once. It's time to get to work.

There are several different ways to build free traffic. The list is not in any particular order as far as what's easiest or what works best. It all depends on you and your skills and your site.

For some, writing articles is the easiest thing in the world to do. For others it is the worst punishment on earth. Try everything once and decide what works best for you. BUT... don't make that your only thing! You will need to use all the following traffic generation techniques in order to get the most out of your website.

If you decide to only write articles, you will never reach the folks who don't read articles. If you decide to only use link exchanges, you will be confined to only those visitors who check directories for more information. Diversify your traffic building and you will get a nice diverse group of visitors.
