In order...
First month
Do forum posting and blog commenting daily. Add useful blogs into your rss readers so that you can post comment when there are new posts.
Second month
while still doing the above methods, start to write and submit articles and links to directories...
Third month onwards...
Now that you are seeing the result of what you are doing, try other methods like social bookmarking, yahoo answer, twitter, etc... but make sure your 1st and second month activities are still going... You are just adding methods but not changing...
Do not try to do all of these on the first month if your time can't handle...
Most of all, spend 80% of your time in promotion and 20% in content...
hope this will stop you from posting questions like How to promote my site, how to get traffic, how to... seo.. etc, etc.. this is very simple but fruitful if followed correctly...

While I think you're correct in that a modus operandi is always necessary for repeated success, I don't think it necessarily has to go in that order. I think it's necessary to have decent content to start with, then you buy a couple hundred directory submissions for a bit of natural growth, then plug your signature link in on forums, then start doing blog commenting, social bookmarking, etc.
Although, I have started with content then gone immediately to social bookmarking, so it's really up to you. Just don't do too many links too fast and NEVER, under any circumstances, HIDE YOUR LINK.
Just my two cents.
