Advise for a newbie

I'd go for a quality content site/blog that gives your visitor value. Then you can put up some recommended products links and/or banners so that you can earn money along the way. And don't forget to build your list at the same time.

Since you are on a tight budget.. a thing I have been through when i was starting out. You should use your skills, the things you have learnt so far to ample use.

From your very first post, I got the feeling you know a thing or two.. thats just my opinion, I can be wrong.

You can either freelance for sometime to make some money, thats what I did. And once you have enough, you can start to scale it.. And by that I mean invest in yourself, in the form of educating yourself.

But since you are on a tight budget, that mean you must have something. This is a long road but it pays off and pays off good, ofcourse if you do it the right way.

Try starting with a wordpress blog, write post and attract audience, how? there are tons of free traffic sources, the most easiest and the quality one is guest blogging and linking back, once you establish some content and post it to other blogs as well.

If you have a great content and providing value to the users, you will defintly gonna rock from that single blog.

Now keep in mind that, while building your blog and content you need to build your list along the way, that is your most valuable asset. u can use free wordpress pop up plugins for that, offering them a freebie if they sign up.

Like i said its a long and hardwork road and it eventually pays off if you stick to it and thats where most people fail.

SO? MORAL? Stick to what you start.. and keep it simple for your ownself to keep you motivated and do not overwhelm yourself.

The easiest way to visualise Internet Marketing or Making Money Online is as follows:

Traffic >> Something of Value >> Customers

Of course its a little more complicated than that when you get into the detail but in essence it doesn't matter if you are building a niche website or eBay the principle is the same.

Of course, anything you do online or offline in Business should start with research and a plan.

Failing to plan is planning to fail.
