If you don't plan to spend on advertising it takes lots of time to generate organic traffic.
This is very true. For the most part. Can you still generate organic traffic in a short amount of time? Yes, but it will take ton of work and organic listings can be somewhat volatile.

That's why I've personally chosen to use paid ads for my affiliate marketing. I can get a lot of profitable traffic in just a fraction of the time it would take me to work on organic listings. The key with paid ads though is being ultra targeted and providing real value. Otherwise, paid advertising will burn a huge hole in your pocketbook.

However, it all depends what your true goals are and what you want to experience. For me, using paid ads and affiliate marketing is merely part of a transition plan to help me break away from employment...and it is starting to work well. That will give me the freedom to focus on something more related to what I feel my true purpose is....even if that means not making money from it at first.
