yes kayla you can but it takes alot of work, the road to online wealth is built with traffic, traffic is key to online businesses. no matter if you become an affiliate marketer or start a ebay business out of the garage.
you want to start today? start finding out how traffic is directed from main hubs of the internet ie yahoo, google, youtube, twitter or any other high traffic sites.
The higher volume of targeted traffic to whatever you start the larger your bankroll will become even if you start selling hypoallergenic pillows. NO JOKE
I do it everyday for my boss who sells used golf balls on ebay, and I do it for my own website that deals with paid surveys.
