Be cautious about just "generating traffic". It's easy to get sucked into the trap of vanity numbers. And it's a sure-fire way to spiral into failure.

Instead of generating traffic you must be sure to generate SALES - and do so profitably. Consider traffic and conversions and costs to get them - and measure everything.

If you've sketched out a business model (figured out your minimal viable business, minimal viable product, edgecrafted markets, messages, offers, etc) and have worked out your numbers (pricing, budget projections, lifetime value of a customer, cost of acquisition, etc) then your next step is simply testing your assumptions.

If you haven't done at least those things then, in my experience, your probability of success is unfortunately not high.

If you'd like more direction and help - let me know. And in any case - good luck!
