If you happen to having trouble bringing in enough traffic to your site, this probably would help you.
1. Make a list of marketing techniques you like to apply. e.g. classified ads, forum posts, social networking etc etc.
2. Make a weekly schedule for each marketing method.
3. Perform the techniques as per schedule.
I was able to get 35000+ monthly uniques to one of my sites using this method in 10 months.
This may seem easy, its not. Its lot of hard work. If you are up for hard work, start today.
