After countless hours of trying to promote my own site I usually come up short and feel like ive wasted my time!! Anyone got any success stories about being able to drive actual people to your own site with positive results?

What methods have you been using so far?
My success story with that is to use OWM... 
I see you are a new member and I don't often push any products but that IS what helped me get tons of traffic to my websites by using Squidoo and learning about keyword placement etc...
Also because I built my website using SBI, and because of the training they have with that.... I learned a TON about getting free TARGETED traffic thru google and yes, I now get a steady stream of feet traipsing thru my doors with a variety of methods... articles, Squidoo lenses, and google traffic....
It did not happen overnight though....it takes TIME, my friend, TIME....

Time is right! I'm trying to teach myself that little lesson. I tend to get impatient. But I know if I stay the course and keep doing what I'm doing, the rest will follow. Best of luck to you!

It all depends what services or tools you are using. The success is pretty much individualized. Your promotion should be niche oriented and targeted otherwise it will be a waste of time. In my experiences doing online marketing I have learned to combine an assortment of tools, solo ads, article writing, blog and forum commenting and traffic exchanges. It seems like a lot of work but noone said it was easy. Some of these are free others are paid services. I recommend combining two or more free and paid for best results. Remember they are all different but yet aid in bringing you the site branding, exposure and recognition you need to increase traffic. If you have questions just send me a PM.

You need to share more info. It really depends on what you are marketing and how you are marketing.
I've combined online marketing with offline marketing for home business success. So don't look at just 'one-siding' your marketing.

There is the Gary Vaynerchuk method to web superstardom Spend 30 minutes making content and the next 15 hours participating in communities related to it.
This is funny/educational/interesting and about an hour long http://garyvaynerchuk.com/post/156535378/mediabistro-talk

I heavily use scribd.com for my campaigns. It always appear on the first page of Google after 24 hours if you got the perfect keywords so it is good to research keywords first befor making an entire campaign if you use SEO.

Article marketing is a great way to get traffic - I would suggest submitting some articles to Ezinearticles.com and link back to your website using a resource box.

If it is your own site you are trying to promote, one of the best long term methods of building your traffic is to continue to add fresh new content based on keyword research of your niche topic.
I get hundreds of visitors to my sites each day (thousands per day to my chocolate site) and I don't pay for any of it. I do try to create some legitimate backlinks to my sites from time to time and I've written a couple of articles, but about 95% of what I do is add good content based on keyword research. It works.
Blessings,
Angie

I have had decent results with Traffic Bug in addition to articles through EZine, Squidoo, Hubs, Weebly and Wordpress, all linking back to my main site.
