Do websites get any natural traffic these days at all? Who processes cheap these days
 

Is there any point in expecting any organic traffic if I set up a website selling hardware??
What's the story on the shopify or bc or whatever else? Would y'all recommend dicking with that bullshit or just setting up a site and finding a processor?

Depends on how much you want to spend. I'm setting up some mainstream sites using Wix and Shopify. Shopify has a lot of tutorials for traffic. I'm going to use Paypal as I already have that set up. Later will determine if I bother with a merchant account again. I also will determine, using the above, if there is any advantage to using them versus setting up my own site with a processor. Primarily the reason is an unfamiliarity with mainstream marketing. Up front investment or monthly subscriptions costs are how these companies make money.

There's always organic traffic, the question is how much are you able to get. That's my problem, how to get traffic to sustain the site.
