Figuring out how to monetize

I've been working on websites for the last little while and haven't been blogging as I should but figured I'd let all my readers know that I haven't given up on becoming a successful entrepreneur. While I am working full time, I still NEED to become a successful entrepreneur so I've been feverishly completing websites and figuring out search engine optimization and getting traffic. I've been using Adwords for the past month (unsuccessfully at this time I might add), I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas of how to get traffic (for free.) If anyone is interested, websites we've done are:

Not to mention, I'm still actively getting my Melaleuca business going, it's just taking more time than I thought, and I've decided it makes more sense for me to try to get it going online. I figure if I get the seo stuff figured out, I'll stand more of a chance.
