Yeah, to be honest, I'm near my wit's end with free traffic at this time and it's probably one of the first things I'd spend money on next to acquire targeted visitors. Right now, I'm mainly using Jay's methods of building a Tumblr or Pinterest following and directing them to my blog as my main free traffic tactic (although I may also consider guest posting on other similar but more trafficked blogs for content marketing.)

Pick a micro niche, become an authority with well constructed and archived data (posts, articles, etc.), buy highly targeted traffic, sell banner and contextual ad space (tastefully) or put approved CPA offers on the site. Adding valuable products of your own is a the icing on the cake. Remember to build a list along the way.

as I understand almost all fields in internet marketing now I encountered a new problem,
either a banner or a landing page design,
what do you think how to solve them?
I think everything is ready,
I also understand a little about PHP, html, javascript, I have no problem in making a landing page,
I just can not make banner display
is there any tool that can make a variety of banner sizes with just one click?

I have seen many over the years, but I just build them in PhotoShop or out source them. Every place banners go, the dimensions are generally available in the traffic source account FAQ and in the Network Offer page.
Reading this entire thread has been so very enlightening. I don't feel nearly as tentative as before. I have my basic tools AND a beginning plan in place. I now KNOW what I need to do next, and how and where to accomplish that....heading straight to the Wiki to get clear on some specific items that have been causing confusion for me. When I'm clear on those items, I'm ready to get a new test campaign launched and underway. I know my vertical, have a budget, have a tracker, have a traffic source, and am approved for several offers in a few networks. Time to get busy. Thank you to all the posters here in this thread. Especially JJ Tutor. Your message (guidance) is consistent and unswerving. I'm so grateful for this forum. I came to this thread with many of the same concerns as many of the posters. Now I feel I can move forward with the confidence that comes from taking action...."learning to earn" as you say. Much yet to learn, I understand, but with so much less fear of the unknown, and so much more anticipation of the next breakthrough lesson. I'll update as it unfolds.
Oh I agree there 100% and its worth it investing 'You have to speculate to accumulate " . After a long time of trying to build traffic and wondering why? It has dawned on me what am I not doing that others do . Have an advertising budget .Well I was hopping around and buying different offers so all my bucks ended up on offers that got sidelined . The missing link is getting traffic paid traffic Advertising coupled to good tracking to give a customer acquisition cost there fore knowing how much I can spend to get a result . Now if that is $1500 to make $4000 why not . I am going to suggest some FB advertising using Leadpages and Improvely . Now Improvely shows you a demo . Its all about using tracking otherwise its just throwing mud at the wall and hoping it sticks . Want to make money treat it like a real business .
Well I did have some good results using this one and if you take a look you will see a banner its nothing special I just scraped the surface . Look here and you will see a chair that is animated now the door is wide open . It has the company tag on it but thats the free model . May suggest upgrading I will be using this . And another I like is called Canva now they are really good for FB Ad graphics

Hey auroretan, thanks for sharing your experience. I wish you good luck!
What did you mean by "didn't research the offer"?

Well for me its the feeling of wasted time. Like I dont mind wasting time watching youtube videos and things like that, but If I am setting up a website, I feel like its not going to work and it will be just another failure, I think its waste of time and its not worth it. I am always scared to open up my affiliate account and see if my project made me some money or it failed again. If this was just in a game like lets say Runescape, I wouldnt mind it and I would just do things differently but I somehow can't get over that IM is not a game :/
Okay @Exo , this is a very common occurrence among new marketers. You are operating from a position of loss and fear. These two are the top defeaters of new marketers. They are two of the top reasons you see product developers in this industry including "mindset" modules in their offerings.
You talk about wasting your time, you stated "Like I dont mind wasting time watching youtube videos and things like that, but If I am setting up a website, I feel like its not going to work and it will be just another failure". This is a self defeating mindset that will almost always result in the failure of any attempts you make. Building one website and having it fail is not a test of accomplishment. All of us, and I mean everyone of us earning a living online, have failures every day. Every Day! It does not mean we failed, it just means what we did didn't perform as expected. For example, I recently spoke to my friend who is huge in the T-Shirt business and he told me that 86% of his campaigns last year failed, but he had 16% that worked and when they worked, he scaled them up big each time. We have several top level marketers her in our membership that are huge in various forms of CPA and they always talk about what didn't work and what did work. They never say they failed at anything. They have campaigns that perform and they have campaigns that don't perform. When they find campaigns that do perform, they scale them up and spread their reach to the target audiences. That is what this business is all about. Finding what works as well as finding what doesn't work. Then take what does work and scale it up as big as you can!
I am about to begin a new adventure in marketing with PayPerCall. I've been researching, preparing copy, studying the competition, and preparing my plan and budget. I know going in that I will spend at least a couple of thousand dollars gathering data from my initial campaigns in order to find what works and what does not. When I find the campaigns that perform, I will then scale up and refine them for maximum ROI.
You must not ever operate from fear or fear of loss. It will defeat you every time.
