So...
That's right! I'm still working. You thought starting a online business would be easy did you. Well, Think again.
Driving traffic to your site is one of the most critical pieces to the puzzle we call success. Below, I have compiles a few strategies that I plan on using in my quest of building an online empire.

# 2. eBay.com Traffic Strategy
eBay has more traffic than most sites on the planet. There is bound to be a way to steel some traffic. I'm talking about the crumbs. I don't need the whole cake. I just was a very small piece of the pie. That said. A small piece of a large pie is a pretty big piece, but a large piece of nothing is still nothing.
One way to get traffic from ebay is by selling reports and e-books you write in your niche (write some useful how-to's and sell them for very low price, the point in this case is the traffic, not the money).
Don't forget, you can create an about page where you put a link that directs people back to your blog/site.
#3. Craiglist.com Traffic
Craiglist is the most powerful classifies site in the world. And its FREE. You can give stuff away just like with the eBay strategy. In exchange you get great backlinks to your blog or landing page. Check out this list I found of other classified sites to use.

#4. Pinterest.com traffic
Pinterest is another HEAVY Hitter when it comes to driving traffic to blogs. Pinterest.com Drives More Traffic to Blogs Than Twitter! Also Pinterest is generating more referral traffic to websites than YouTube, Google+ and LinkedIn *combined*.
Every Online Business should be using Pinterest.
With Pinterest you can promote almost anything, from Amazon, CPA, Adsense sites to your own products and clickbank offers.
Think about the possibilities.
