    What relevant skills do you have?

    (Clearly nobody can answer your question very helpfully or appropriately without knowing this much, at least, can they? ).

        Please forgive the observation that article-writing might well not be the optimal choice of online career for someone who speaks English as a second language and not all that idiomatically.

    Start building a list asap! If you're interested in selling your own products instead of promoting someone elses, do some research on product creation. Otherwise, you'll have to get creative if you want to apply your own unique skills to internet marketing.

    Dear mondalprince,
    As you describe that you have writing skills and you wish to start your career as an internet marketer. I will suggest you to start writing on different issues and make a product in shape of ebook. as well as start your blog with your own name means self branding and by the help of that blog create an email list by providing them good information on different topics so when you final your ebook launch it in Internal world.

    Is article writing something that you wish to pursue in your Internet Marketing career? What niche are you comfortable writing about, or would like to pursue?

    There are numerous ways to get started in this industry, but giving suggestions is not going to be helpful at this point, unless you know what path you intend on going. In other words... what can you see yourself doing? Do you have examples of leaders that you you'd wish to follow by example?

    Internet Marketing.

    1) You need something to sell.

    2) You need someone to buy what you are selling.

    It appears you have a very cheap commodity to sell (currently). Article writers are a dime a dozen, selling a commodity that has so much competition is going to be difficult.

    You can sell something you own (via creation or acquisition) OR

    You can sell something someone else owns (affiliate)...

    You can sell something for 1 buck or for 10,000 dollars.

    Problem is same for both, where to find buyers?

    Start with what you know, where you are at and take time to decide

    A) The kind of customer you want
    B) Where do they hang out
    C) What are they currently buying
    D) Create or acquire a similar product,
    E) Make them an offer (via email or web site)

    So, begin with some conscious THOUGHT, which so few do...and you won't get frustrated and will see positive results much faster.

    If you do decide to 'hire' yourself out to do article marketing, make sure you hire yourself out to clients that speak the same language.

    But what ever you do, don't copy other people's content and then 'spin' it for English speaking customers.

    Internet Marketing has many ways one can make money.

    If you're currently making money on oDesk why not try expanding?

    Instead of just listing jobs there go to Fiverr, Freelancer.com, Elance.com, and other IM forums and promote your service there.

    Maybe even create a website which will add to your credibility and professionalism.

    Good luck!

    How are you doing with your article writing? Do you also have a site where you sell your articles from or do you only work through ODesk?

    If you don't already have a site you could expand what you already do and create a site and expand on your article services.

    You can expand your writing services outside odesk first. There are many freelance sites that you can work on.

    Save up a small capital before deciding which business model you wish to pursue.

    You could either expand your article writing skills by creating your own website and trying other platforms such as Freelancer, Fiver etc. , or you can try something new, based on your experience and expertise. The forum is a great place to find information and motivation for IM, so just do your research and get started!

    Hang around here some. Absorb some of the techniques being discussed in here.

    After awhile you will be able to discern the good, intelligent Marketers from the Charlatans.
