Don’t Give Up!
Let’s face it - a lot of the work you’re going to do for link-building is flat out BORING! Submitting to directories, writing articles, finding blogs to comment on etc. is not something that most of us would choose to do for fun on a Friday night. But here’s the thing - it needs to be done!
Unfortunately, I think a lot of people burn out before they reach their potential online mainly because they don’t with the simple things. The ‘easiness’ of it misleads them and then they think that there must be something more and that they must be missing something. If you’re consistently submitting to directories, writing articles, and all other things you can do to build links than you’re doing what you need to do. Just keep going! Remember that the search engines do not cater to the brand new site on the block. They want to list the most relevant results at the top, and so far you haven’t proven you deserve that spot if you’re a new site. So put in the work, keep building links, and over time you will start to see your rankings climb.
So what do you do if you need traffic sooner? Well, for starters you could do some PPC advertising until your regular rankings catch up. Just make sure you aren’t spending too much on your advertising budget that you’re losing money. You could start some type of an email campaign. You could list products on other sites like eBay, Craigslist.org, and some shopping sites (Amazon, Shopzilla, etc.). These are all great ways to get some additional traffic and sales until your search engine rankings kick in. Really, they are good things to be doing anyway to maximize your earning potential!
My whole goal with this post is to motivate those of you who have found that you have lost hope in this whole ‘internet thing’. Give it time! Keep working at it! Make your link building activities funner somehow! Personally, I always have some good music going when I’m doing my link building. It makes it seem less like ‘work’. Find something that works for you, but develop the determination to do these ’simple’ things that will really make a difference.

You are right, Dan, building links may be a boring activity, but in all good things in life you have to do a boring part to get where you want to be, it really worth the effort, so keep doing the “too simple and repetitive things” to achieve the “big thing”.

Juan you put that very well. It’s easy to lose motivation when things get repetitive and ‘easy’. Keep going and make sure you doing things right, and eventually (hopefully sooner rather than later) things will start to look up and happen for your site. This applies to so many thing in life…
