I've gotten a multitude of friend requests and emails since joining. I am pleased to be so welcomed. I am still learning the world of affiliate marketing and have been unsuccessful so far in achieving anything I consider to be "real value." Sure I have made some money on adsense and had a few affiliate sales through Click2Sell, but I am not looking to scam people to make my money. I honestly want to sell people affiliate products that I (myself) would want to purchase.

For this reason, my main priority is marketing my website with products listed for consumers to review, purchase and share their thoughts about in my discussion forum (Gab Lab). I am completely TAPPED out money-wise. I have no funds for "joining" another program and I'm on every possible ad site for traffic, in fact, I can't read the emails or surf enough of the sites to get the credits to keep promoting my ads on all the sites. My hit counter has gone up by about 4,000 visitors within the last two days, but not a single sale. It's very frustrating.

I've submitted all pages of my site to over 200 search engines and FFA sites and classified ad sites. I have a blog with articles that target specific subjects and promote clickbank products related to the article. I've got two children to feed and my bank account is overdrawn right now and my children's father makes a child support payment only when threatened with being arrested (about once every two months).

This is a long-winded sob story, but all I know is that if this place really is a great place for mentoring and help with online business marketing; I'm hoping some people can help me come up with some marketing strategies that don't cost money. I can't afford, and don't have the time to join anymore affiliate sites and read emails or surf web pages. I just need a way to drive traffic to my website giving consumers the opportunity to search for a product they might be interested in.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Lauren
