In a nutshell if you want to turn that corner and start to MAKE money, the key is to get visitors. A website without visitors is like selling hot-dogs on a street corner in the middle of a desert. There is no potential for earnings if people don’t see your products. So, when you start to figure out ways to increase your websites ROI, think of ways you are currently driving traffic to your site. You need to have advertising ideas, Organic click-throughs will usually not be enough.

Web business follows the snowball effect. You will usually see traffic and sales rapidly increase over time, sometimes to the point you are struggling to fill orders. Like with any business, keep your ROI in mind and keep pushing forward.
