I have received more traffic in the last three days, than in any other three days since I started the blog! I even have two followers, whoever you are: thanks!
Yet, it is not the traffic I want or need to get high in Google or Yahoo rankings and to have people buy my products. I do understand why most people pay for traffic or pay affiliates to drive traffic to their sites. They also get lists of emails, and drive traffic that way. I have posted links on facebook, that has actually helped a lot.
Yet, still no sales as of today. I do believe it is possible to make money with affiliate marketing, I am still wondering, can you do it with out investing any of your own? In theory yes, yet in practice, so far no. I remind myself, this is just the first week. I also started this journey, with the post, looking for a new job. I have been unemployed for five months, and need to find a way to pay my bills. I am going to search for other jobs and still research affiliate marketing. I still will look for products to promote and I have made a commitment to myself, to blog everyday and record my progress. Tomorrow I will set up some links to how I learned the in's and out's of affiliate marketing and my other job search tries. Have a great night, and wish me luck! If any of you feel generous and would like to mention how you drive traffic to your site for free...your comments would be greatly appreciated :)

Since writing this post, I have learn quite a bit about driving traffic, including SEO which is search engine optimization that is mostly done for free and is a little complicated. One of the biggest things I have learned is: patience!! Driving traffic to any site takes time, and time and putting work, work, work!! Please see my more recent post-Re:free websites and making money online. Also, unfortunately, I did not keep my commitment to myself to blog everyday :(...I am posting as often as I can, my Master's program and life are quite demanding.
