In California, the DMV limit without a license is 1 car per year... they want to regulate anything done "for profit".
generating the traffic online isn't so much a 'plan' as it is a 'reality'. If you have no newspaper/radio/etc ads, almost all your traffic will be CL/kijiji/autotrader etc, as well as any referral traffic

with all honesty, get your license and just curb to start off. you'll be able to slowly get the hang of it without exposing yourself too much
