Can anybody help me choose a product to follow that would show me the ropes to making money online. I am so overwhelmed with all the products available here in the forum that I would be broke if I purchased all of them. I want to follow someone who has made money and is still making money using the method they will show me. Would love to hear your feedback.....Help!!!! I want to make money and quit my day job. I need a product that will bring money in fast so I can replace my day job income.

Hi D. Starr, One thing to keep in mind is that you are reading copy from some great marketing people. This sounds harsh, but making money online requires work. It is a business. If I was new I would take a look at a guy named Chris Farrell. A good membership site designed for new marketers at a low price is where I would start. I think he has a trial membership for about $5 for 2 weeks. That is just my 2 cents. |

Trust no-one! Nobody will show you all the pieces of the puzzle, all the big marketers just advertise each other's pieces of the puzzle. You are prime picking for them as you are desperate to make money online, i really suggest starting a real business first from your main skillset rather than trying to learn everything at once, its overwhelming to try and do that all in one day. From that standpoint, you will have more freedom to experiment with what it is that you want to do when creating a product, and you will already have a business set up and ready, and something to fall back on if it all goes pear-shaped. It is incredible how difficult it is actually to get someone's wallet out and give you money as everyone is really suspicious as to what is going on. I suggest looking at the big launches from the outside, watch and learn - you will learn more by doing this rather than buying loads of products that dont deliver - its you that has to deliver at the end of the day. I will give you some free universal tips: Find out what people want (google sktool and adwords keyword tool is the best way to find this online, or browse the magazine racks) Get in front of them (either buy the traffic using adwords, or get them on your mailing list, or do some seo, use social networking, write articles and send them out to directories, blogging etc.) Convert them to buy your product (play on their worst fears here - show them value) using either a video or a sales letter - OR - Use advertising / affiliate links, but with affiliate products still sell what you are promoting to your customer. Its not easy - it takes a lot of determination, and a lot of investment in time - start small and go from there. Good luck! |

The first thing you need to ignore is that "it's easy" to make significant money online, it requires very consistant work, much like running a business or working a day job. But you can make progress part time if you are dedicated and determined to succeed. The process is rather involved, thats why 99% fail, but it is doable for some. If you are looking for fast easy money, you won't find it on the internet, save what you have and don't fall for the hyped up sales traps. You don't have to buy a heap of different products or the latest and greatest, what you need is 1 that works and then just repeat the process until you are making what you want, this could take up to 12 months or more if you keep at it. You can spend around $200.00 and get a very detailed step by step course like Affiloblueprint 02 (I just had a good look at this because a close friend purchased it, I was very impressed with the detail and how the lessons and videos where put together, probably the best I've seen) If I was a newbie I would not stick with the monthly forum / newsletter offer as you would have your hands full with the 12 weeks of lessons, you would not need any extra info to confuse you at this stage or for many months going foreward, it's just an extra cost that you could use better elsewhere. If you decided on this course or something similar, don't buy anything else (not even the affiloblueprint upsell offered during the purchase process) unless it assists the process, you don't need it. The basic principles of making money online have not changed, don't be sucked into buying the next best thing, it's usually the same process rehashed and often badly at that. Hope that helps |

Thank-you for your advice. I do have a question for you if you don't mind, you mentioned sticking to 1 that works and then just repeat. What is your advice on that process I should start with. There are so many ways to make money from CPA, Articile Marketing and so on. You also mentioned the basic principles of making money online have not changed, what would you consider the basic, I'm sure this would help me out greatly. I have rread enough about IM that I have a good idea but I'm still a little confused due to all the products and different methods out there. Starr |

Hi Starr, I agree with blogsy, don't jump from one program to another because it takes time to see result, like in any other business, get one program and stick to it for few months. Most of the programs offer money back, but the issue is that you spend time (I spend a LOT of time) to get to know the program, my advise spend some time to check the program before you join, google it, if you have the name of the owner google that as well. I tried many programs spend too much money and time until I bumped to MIB this is an honest & working program, the support there is GREAT all the way, it is free to join the MIB, you have to pay Traffic Wave after 30 days (by then you should have some success), in other words you don't pay anything before you see some results - isn't that nice. I am with this program 6 month now - there is some work involved, like in any business, as everyone (that is truly honest) says you won't get reach overnight and you do have to work at it. MIB is fun, the work there is easy as well great group of people to help all the way.

Absolutely agree about sticking with one thing at a time. Too many newbies dip into to too many things that promise the earth. You can have the earth if you stick at ONE THING. Find courses that have a lot of GOOD reviews from people who have been on them. There are loads out there, some work for some, others work for others. Go with the one that a. suits the way you want to work (do you like videos, do you want to read an ebook/course, do you want all the material up front or on a weekly/monthly basis?) and b. specifically tackles the areas you need to know about. It's no good going with a course that covers things you have already done and feel okay with. Get on a course that will teach you something you don't yet know about sufficiently. Good Luck! |

The repeat bit refered to building 1 web site in 1 niche, get it making money, then choose another niche and repeat the whole process over and over until you are making your target income. CPA and article marketing are part of the process they are not a money making process in themselves, you will still need to learn and implement all the things I mentioned above, you will still need a web site, etc,etc. The basic principle is you need to sell something that people want, an affiliate product if you dont have your own products, a CPA is really just another form of an affiliate product, a bit like adsense but more lucrative. IMO the best way to get that product before potential buyers is to build an informative web site that genuinely helps people as well as offering the product. It's not a 5 minute process it takes serious effort. The reason I mentioned "Affiloblueprint 02" it takes all that confusion you mentioned away because it teaches the proven priciples of internet marketing from A to Z, you won't need anything else, forget all the other crappy, confusing products, at the offered price I think it's extremely good value. I should mention I have no connection to program owners, but I have seen plenty of so called internet courses, this is one of the few that impressed me with what you get for your money. IMO if you can't make money after following the "Affilioblueprint 02" step by step training course, you will never make money on the internet, you would need to go try something else. If you are serious you need to pick a proven training couse and get stuck in, I've made my recomendation, check it out or ignore it, the choice is yours. What ever you choose to help you get going you need to take action as there is a lot to learn if you really want to succeed. | |

Starr, I hope that all these replies will not confuse you more. But I certainly know how you feel. There are so much offers landing in your inbox, so many WSOs, so many different strategies... Therefore it is really vital to pick ONE and follow through. What would you like to accomplish? Building a list? Having your own product or promote an affiliate product? Go with PPC or SEO?.... Think about this, make up your mind, stop reading and start acting. I'm sure the already mentioned Affiloblueprint is very valuable. If you have decided, then do everything that is in the course, follow it from A to Z. And then, once you start making money, your motivation and determination will grow. Think about this: if you keep buying stuff without doing, you will not make money. Then why not pick a strategy and go for it? Let us know how you're doing! Good luck, Kurt |

No problem on giving you advice, i've made a few mistakes and really, nobody tells you anything more than you can figure out for yourself - but if you want to do a course i recommend going with the 30 day challenge - its free, i know someone who did it last year and managed to make some money. It starts in august, i will be following it - i've found out about a couple of useful firefox plugins from them. I'm the opposite of most people in the internet marketing community since i'm not interested in selling internet marketing based information products, but i'm interested in marketing to sell my own products eventually - i have bought a couple of medium to high-ticket purchases to only return them, i really dont recommend buying anything and getting sucked into the hype. Most of these products are just recorded seminars full of filler and are padded out big time, with one or two snippets of information. Meanwhile, you're getting emotionally bonded to this person and they try and upsell you / pitch you to their higher-priced ticket product. If you do buy anything, make sure that it has a money-back guarantee and test their support before buying anything. I just put my hand over my eyes and sigh with disbelief when someone else releases a product with 'the next big new secret method' blah blah yeah right. Just watch and observe, they will be using that technique when they are trying to sell to you. Focus on building a business based on a service - look at what other people are doing for ideas either on here, sitepoint or digitalpoint forums. As with any business there is always support, maintainance, etc. to deal with so don't do too much at the same time. Don't miss out the business model, as yourself how are you going to generate money? Buy what services / software that you need, invest in domain names that you will need, save up some cash to put into your product and not somebody elses at the end of the day. Come up with a plan of action then execute it, you only fail when you give up. |

i started out not long ago and was severly overwhelmed by information.. free books, paid books. affiliate marketing, membership sites, article directory, seo, adsense, creating ebooks, list building, 1 word to sum my experience - confusing! now my focus is on adsense and seo. learning to build traffic along the way. Seo applies not just to im, but to real life as well, for my own business. there still a lot to learn about earning from adsense, so lets work hard together~ |

As a Newbie, once you start looking for single solutions to tackle without the right guidance you are heading for frustration and confusion and eventual failure. Imagine you were building a house, I built my own house as an owner builder (at the time I was a freelance photographer) so now I understand what's required, but luckely at the time I had a brother-in-law who was a builder, he was my mentor, he taught me what to do and when. If I had no guidance, I would not have known where to start, you would not know at what stage do I get the plumber in, when should I call the electrician, should I to do this first or should I do it later,etc,etc. Learning the order of the whole process is as important as learning the process it's self, the same applies to Internet marketing. Don't be scared to spend a bit of money on the right training course by a good mentor, I have made my recommendation earlier in this tread so I wont go there, my advice is there to take or leave. All I will say is most of the rehashed stuff I have seen does not qualify as good value or good training ... Good luck with how you decide to proceed. | |

The best thing you can do is trust yourself ! This means trying things and testing them and seeing if they work. There is lots of information online for free that will help you start out. Test one thing at a time and don't expect to make money overnight. It certainly isn't easy and it takes time to find out what works and what doesn't. |

Hi D. Starr, The fact that most of us working 9 to 5 jobs and if given opportunity to retire early and rich , is EVERYONE'S dream. But lets stay in reality , most of the times things are not that easy. Same to the Internet. It is undeniable that this technology will have the potential of making you rich, IF YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. If you really want to make money online , please remember that internet is the BIGGEST library in the WORLD. The problems here is , without proper guide , you will be lost in this INFORMATION overload situation. I am not trying to scare you but sincerely I had been in that situation. But don't worry, I was introduced by my friends to a guy named Brian Terry. What I can say is that this guy is really good at teaching about this Internet Marketing industry. I hoped that when I first started, someone had introduce me to him . By the way , If I can benefit from his lessons , I know you will to.. Good luck. |

Hi Starr There is some very good advice in this thread, but in answer to the question 'Who do I trust?' I would answer, trust someone who is willing to help you get started without initially selling you something. Act on their advice and check out the result. If it works, and makes you a little money then spend some of that money getting more advice/support from the same person. There are some really great people on this forum who have proved themselves willing to help without expecting payment, initially anyway ![]() I also advise you to learn as much as you can about business before trying to become an internet marketer. It makes the going so much easier. Don't make the mistake most IM newbies make and try to sell Internet Marketing stuff to other newbies, you can't sell what you don't know (and that applies to Affiliate Marketing too) Cut your teeth in non IM niches first, initially stick to topics you know about either as an expert, or as an experienced customer and enthusiast. That way you know what people are likely to want and therefore to buy. You need three things to succeed in any business, offline or online: 1. A marketplace of people who either have problems they want solved or who are keen enthusiasts for a particular activity and are willing to spend money to get what they want. This market should be big enough to be worth spending time getting to know them 2. A product or service that will not only satisfy their wants but over deliver to the point of sheer delight - that way you get recommendations and positive reviews. You will also get a loyal following who will buy almost anything you offer later. This product must be priced to be acceptable to your customers while at the same time being enough to cover all your costs, including marketing, and delivering a proft. 3. A method of communicating clearly what you have for them, how you understand them and can serve them and why they should deal with you. In the case of internet marketing this usually involves having a website and being able to drive or attract your target customers to your website. Your initial learning should be focussed on understanding these key areas. Most people who fail do so because they ignore one or more of these 3 key points. Then choose a market, choose your product and start getting your message out there. Focus on just this one project and keep working at it until your efforts bear fruit. If you have done you homework as above, it will. When it is successful, try to automate as much as possible. Then you will have time to firstly provide more products to the same market and secondly look for more markets. You can get all the education you need to help with the above for free both in this forum and all over the internet. When you need tools and support to help with implementing all the above, then is the time to go shopping because you will then know what you are looking for and what questions to ask. I'll stop here as I meant to keep this simple and it is becoming a bit of an e-book!! Best of luck John PS I just realised this thread is in the product recommendations section so if you really need some help with my key areas above, try the Warrior Recommendation "Desperate Buyers Only" |

Hi I'm a newbie too and I decided to try "30 Day Bum Marketing Blueprint" you can actually find the pdf for free, just do a google search (I'd link to it but I guess I'm not allowed to yet). Obviously I can't give a full testimonial since I haven't actually used it yet, but I've been researching it and only read good things about it. The thing I like is it gives EXACT instructions on what to do each day, so you can just get to work and stop thinking and analyzing everything.....not to say you shouldn't analyze and learn, but this way you can start taking immediate action. It would be great to see how it's working for someone else too, you should give it a shot!

Bum marketing is ok to get the feel of driving traffic to a product, but if your aiming for a decent income your time could be better spent learning to build your own web site/s. To get the real money flowing a blog or web site will be needed eventually, the sooner you get one up, the sooner you take control of the content and your personal marketing approach in your chosen niche/s.

I agree with the vast majority of replies here, and here's my contribution... Don't start shelling out money! Most of the process can be done for free, most of the info you need to get started can be found for free. The big shiny sales pages are just that - sales pages! For a total newbie, the info within them may be too advanced anyway. My biggest tip if you do feel tempted to spend money on a product is to email the seller first. If they don't reply, that tells you all you need to know. Yes, they may be busy, but it's the busy ones who *still* reply that show they are probably the ones to go with. Don't forget to use the free resources first though! Gordon |

I agree with much of what has been posted. It can be very overwhelming and information overload is pretty much a guarantee online. Here is my 2 cents: 1) Understand making money overnight online is a huge sales pitch, and this is where a lot of people end up spending money on program after program because the sales letter is tapping into your emotions and telling you everything you want to hear. 2) Starting any business online is just that it is a business so treat it as such, absolutely you can make a great living online but it will take work. 3) Start a business that you have a passion for, it could be gardening, painting, cars, it can be anything. Find what you love. What are your hobbies? Turn a hobby into a business. Maybe affiliate marketing could work for you. Bottom line do what gets you excited. 4) Cut out the noise, ignore all the ads, and make money in 24 hour sales pitches, because that's what they are sales pitches, no more no less. 5) There are people that truly want to help, but unfortunately it can be costly and become a full time job finding these people. Stay here at Warrior, people are here to help, it is safe here. 6) My suggestion is I would go to a web site called Site Sell the founder is Ken Evoy and his program walks you through everything from start to finish. This is not a build your business over night program, it is truly designed for the beginner or novice. There is a great video explaining everything, scroll past the 2 minute video to get to the full version video. I hope that helps and good luck on your journey, and keep us posted. To Your Success Leo Emery |

I trust myself 100% but that didn't stop me from getting ripped off before I wised up. Looking for trust on the Internet would probably be the hardest place there is to find it. Everybody is trying to make a $ including me. The problem is you have the worst rip offs (which seems to be the majority) combined with some excellent products that offer real value. But how do you figure which are good and which are crap, you ask for suggestions right here in the forum, then do individual searches on the product suggestions making sure that they are being used by other Warriors. If they are new, wait a while for user input. Recently I was asked by a friend which of 2 products would I recommend, I hadn't used either so In an effort to help him out, I posed the same question here in the forum. There was a clear stand out, I did some more forum research and came to the same conclusion. So I suggested he give it a try (it came with a solid 60 day refund offer, so there was no risk). When he got the course I was keen to check it out, I was blown away with the detail and value, I could only dream of a course like this when I got started. They where asking thousands for half this info a few years ago, if you could find it at all. So the warrior forum was right on the money. The interesting thing is the product creator and owner is an Internet marketer, his intention is to make money off you and hundreds, maybe thousands of others. He did not create this Internet course out of the goodness of his heart, he created it to make money, lots of it. Does this make him a bad guy that you can't trust "NO" ... You can still be a hard selling Internet marketer wearing 1 hat ... But still a trusted helpful person that cares about his customers and offer quality products wearing the same hat. Just use the forum to sort the wheat from the chaff because there will always be more recycled chaff than wheat. I realise you can get a lot of free information by yourself, and that's ok if you know what to learn first, because starting half way up the stairs or at the top first is what leads most newbies to information overload. They don't have a study plan, they don't know what step 1 should be, they don't even know how many elements there is to the overall process, this is a very slow, frustrating and unproductive way to go forward IMO. There is no doubt you can learn this game by yourself, but it will take you a hell of lot longer, with many pot-holes along the way and cost you more in the long run. Internet marketing training is no longer the stupid prices that it used to be in the past. Newbies have got it a lot better than what it was a few years ago, they should take advantage of those that have fallen in the pot-holes and now know how to avoid them and are willing pass that information on. $$ spent on good education is not wasted, it comes back many, many times over, year after year. |

I want to echo the reply that encourages you to do the 30 day challenge. Ed Dale does an AMAZING job (and even that is an understatement) of teaching you, step by step, how to get started making money online. It is NOT push button simple to get going. It helps to know these KEY things: What niche do you want to focus on...and make it credible. If you've never sold on eBay, don't try to teach people how to do that. Niches that are NOT Internet Marketing related can be HUGE goldmines. The 30 Day Challenge will likely touch on finding a good niche...it has in the past. Then, choose a method and stick with it...just like everyone else is saying. I have "shiny object syndrome" and tend to chase lots of different things, but lately have been focusing on Russell Brunson's Micro-Continuity. I suggest looking into that AFTER you go through the 30 day challenge. If you can afford some type of coaching program, this is probably your FASTEST way to get going. There really are so many good folks out there, you just have to find one that you resonate with and think you could learn from. Some people just rub me the wrong way and I'd never work with them, but others are a good fit, personality wise, and I'd work with them in a heartbeat. Worst case scenario, once you find someone you think you can work with, post something here and get feedback. If most people have something good to say, it's probably a safe bet. Hope that helps. |

I used to buy all the how-to ebooks and courses, and classes...but it wasn't until i decided to create my own product, in my case an ebook to a hungry crowd, and i got the site made and the book and figured out the best way to get the traffic ( i will do article marketing, SEO and blogging to get my niche market traffic using my keywords from google)...anyway....you need to think of it as a business...not a quickie part time job, but as a whole business you run. Learn as much as you can from this site here...so much info. Good luck, you can do it, but don't focus so much on BUYING any programs, or courses...i learned most of what i needed here or searching online....but thats just me. |

Starr, Here's the non-affiliate link: Thirty Day Challenge It's really good stuff and video based, so it tends to be easier to learn than eBook. |

I am also a newbie and like you have been going round and round in circles trying to decide which way to go. I finally settled on Bryan Zimmerman's 'Newbie work Book' which is just fantastic. It sets out day by day each task and is written specifically for newbies. It is easy to understand and is well worth the $20.00. I have also just signed up with the Newbie University which is being run by Bryan Zimmerman. This looks awesome and it is totally free. Just sign up, fill out a questionnaire and you will be ready to go. This is being offered in the WSO Forum. Good luck |

Internet marketing is no different from 9-5 job. Well, at least at the beginning stage. Those products/systems that you come across that project to you their kind of life style is a marketing tactic to entice you to buy their products, is a subliminal thing. The sales page is subtly inserted with marketing words that influence you to buy their products. In short, they play with your want, needs and desire. Tell me who don't want an easy life. If you have worked in 9-5 environment with business targets to meet, you would know what I mean. If someone truly want to try out internet marketing or any online ventures, I think having the right mindset and correct attitude are critical for success. Take it as a business, do up a business plan and set your targets. And, don't forget....take action. I missed the last part too long. Having engrossed in reading one ebook after another and trying different system looking for a quick fix. Well, spent a lot of money, getting myself confused. So, take it from me that learned from the hard way. Please take action. |

Hi Star welcome to Warrior Forum As everyone is different & has different ideas if you are intending to build an e-commerce website i would strongly recommend you start with a subject you know something about. If you are simply reselling PLR products it is different, but building a website or even a web store takes research, time, & dedication. If you are interested in & have knowledge of the subject it will help you stay focused & you will enjoy learning more about it. Good luck with whatever route you choose |

Hi D Starr Your question is called: "Leading with your chin" If you thought you were confused before you probably are more so now. You don't need a product. You need a mentor and for someone in your situation I can think of nobody better than Jimmy D Brown. |

Starr It takes time to get familiar with stuff. There is no shortcut. There are many people that you can trust. But even then, you don't need everybody's advise at the same time. I would go for Niche Profit Classroom if I were you. |

I have wasted a lot of money different products and advice and ebooks. Take your time and try to find a mentor. There is no great get rich quick scheme out there really and every time someone shows you how much they have made in the last 7 days then ask them how much it has cost them in ppc and other marketing techniques. I have just signed up to a course with video help and webinars on an evening. These guys are on the other end of the phone and will help with any questions. You can cancel at anytime as well. No big sign up fees which i found to help. Good Luck. Email me if you need any advice and keep your money in your pocket until you are sure you are spending it wisely. |

Actually I would 2nd that. He is honest and down to earth He explains everything in easy to understand plain english no tech talk. Very affordable great place for a beginner to start. Kim Roaches product is good but I would recommend Chris Farrell 1st then hers to add on. Also just my 2cents worth | |

Take it from one who has blown more than afew dollars the last two plus years. Ignore all the hype of work two hours and then go to the beach It is a business like any other. Decide first what kind of business you want. I finally have begun making a living by using niches that I enjoy. Decide if you want to be an affiliate or produce your own products. I like Joel Comm and John Delavera. Their stuff works. It is a great life but it takes a whole lot of work. I am more of a technical salesman and learning marketing methods is been a tough road. Was always easier have someone come up with the Marketing and then I sell it. Good Luck |

As someone mentioned earlier, Wealthy Affiliates is very good membership site but it will cost you a monthly fee. If you are a total newbie and have no clue on where to start my suggestion would be to use PotPieGirl's OneWeekMarketing program, it's one of the cheapest you can buy ($47) and you do not need to spend a dollar more putting it to use (which is the case with most other systems, they just don't tell you on the sales page) I would provide you with links to the two or three trustworthy products/programs but I'm not allowed to put in links yet ![]() I have reviewed the OneWeekMarketing plan on my blog (and some other products) my blog: theclickbanknewbie.com |

Most of the marketing materials and ebooks out there helps in building your business. If you are starting out, I guess the best thing you can do is to "move out" of traditional thinking and "move in" to business thinking. Most materials are "marketing strategies" which can be used to build your business, however, you cannot depend on them alone to "get rich" or make tons and tons of money. Think "business" then add "marketing" to it and you are probably on the right track. Starting out is tough because there are many many things to learn but that is what entreprenuer does =) Dan Lok and Yanik Silver are some of the best minds you can learn.. Warmly, Kenji |
