1. Use a link building scheme, but do it wisely. The most important factor is to build links slow enough. That again requires patience.

Inbound links is by far the most important factor in your seo strategy. John's tips about getting unrelated links pointing to the domain itself is also an important factor. You need MANY links pointing to the domain, but not necessarily containing targeted keywords.

To Natural Elements: We are working on getting a site at Biogime Skin Care to rank with similar products as the ones you sell. It looks to me that it is not that hard to get good rankings for beauty related products.

My advice is therefore: Hang in there - continue to learn and experiment. Eventually you'll get there.
