That magic word....Traffic!
To the pedestrian it conjures up noisy, smoky, bothersome vehicles that interfere with their day; but to the entrepreneur on the internet, its the life blood that is sought after.
The more the traffic, the happier the web-meister.
The question is how to get the traffic.
Build bigger roads.
You can't expect to get much traffic if you restrict it to a small one lane road.
And you'll get even less if you make the road so windy and bumpy that the vehicle can't stay on it.
Your internet traffic needs a clear, smooth , at least two lane highway ( four or more would be great - so long as you're set up to handle the flow).
And when the traveller comes to the end of the road, ( though always leave options for further trips to be taken), there should be a good reward that will be talked about.
As with building highways, take time to make the foundations firm, the signage precise ( so they know where they're going and the scenery interesting.
Happy Trails!

Pie in the Sky...
Is all this just pie in the sky......you know, promises of making a fortune online?
Its obviously possible, but not easy. Follow this, do that, part from some more of your hard earned money in the hope that the next offer will be the one to launch your successful career online. It does have one thing going for it , and that's a learning curve on various computer skills, marketing techniques and human nature.....that still comes through loud and clear. It doesn't take to long to spot the weasels, the more difficult ones are the werewolves - they seem to be just the ones you want to believe in, but they change their facade if you look closely.
The reason they're so successful is that they have our money....sometimes well spent, but many times just another possible path to fortune.
What's the answer then?
Follow the path you fell most comfortable with, spend your money wisely,do'nt expect to make a fortune in three weeks time, and at the very least enjoy what you're doing and get satisfaction from learning, hopefully earning and doing the best you can.
A combination of offline and online an be a good way to achieve your goals.
And seeing as how its Easter....don't put all your eggs in one basket:-)
