For organic traffic that will last, you have youtube and social media also, but it also require permanent content creation.

I do only paid ads right now.
 
Yes. Why, love the experimental thing about it. But, yes, it is slow. Adwords and other ads is generally much faster money.
 
Yes. Because it is less stressful than other ways to generate traffic, at least for me, because before I used to do CPA and it drove me crazy to be all day on a screen watching if an account was banned or if a proxy stopped working, besides that nowadays I have reduced the amount of hours in front of the pc, and it gives me income almost automatically, I mean, ALMOST.

For example, I had almost two months that I only touched the pc one hour a day for offline issues and my income even increased, lol....


Note: all this is from my experience, I'm not saying that there aren't other methods of generating traffic that work better (like paid ads), but this has given me a lot of peace of mind.
 
I still do SEO. I don’t know much about paid traffic. I am going to start learning soon. I don’t know if I will stop doing SEO when I learn strategies for paid traffic. But I am tired of SEO.
 
I stopped doing intentional SEO. I have links from FB, YT, insta going to my website along with articles written on TOPICS, not keywords, I try to show up in YT suggestions for the videos which lead back to my website more than i try to show up in google search. Like you said perviously in this thread social media is way better than search engine SEO traffic. So I try to optimize for social media not search engine.

This is what I hope to receive in the future with my SEO work, I feel as if it will give me peace of mind. I do CPA Marketing at the moment and it seriously keeps me at the edge of my seat but I plan to take my CPA Marketing money and invest more into my SEO strategy

Paid traffic is not very good for CPA as it would be too expensive with your CPC. I generally don't like cpa marketing personally also. Except if people do cpa marketing for my own business and generating leads for me.

Every day.

SEO + social media = $$$.

When they search random things on Google from their iPhone/Android, I want to be what pops up.

Well if you want to pop, do google ads to be on top + display ads to show up in their face when they check a website related to your niche, it is impossible to really have your brand in their face when you do SEO, if tomorrow I want to target people which looked for a topic, I can without them needing to search it on google today. + I can appear on youtube with ads for people who visited my site. You can also not remarket them with SEO, which is a big problem as remarketing campaigns is a great way to close conversion.

Paid ads is not easy, but it's better, even if it is expensive, you can do so much more than SEO. you can follow people on the internet and harass them until they convert :D

Social media is amazing if you use messenger and stuff, much more direct and active than SEO which makes user passively search, "likes, comments, share etc." you can see who does what, which is not possible with SEO.

Search traffic is the best converting traffic.

Best converting, how did you measure that?

With paid ads, you can reach and convert a lot more people than with SEO, you can AB test a lot more with your landing pages and CTA and stuff, much more difficult with "search organic traffic" ....You can always test your title with google ads, impossible with your SEO title, if you change and test it every day, google will not be happy, with google ads, they will be!

I'm curious what you run Google Ads (previously Adwords) succesfully for?
Email opt-ins, sales funnel for digital products, e-com physical products, other?
