The Best Starting Point For a Complete Newbie

Get or create a hot product to sell, study copy writing, create webinars and sales videos, create a high converting offer and build a Kick Butt sales funnel. Then blog about it.

Cheers,
Steve

This is a good place to start

Well the first thing I would usually ask is what do you see yourself doing? It can't just all be about money. If you're going to take this seriously, you're going to want to commit long term, which requires (ideally) doing something you love, you're passionate about or... can see yourself doing.

If there are currently marketers / courses you look up to and that have helped you. Then is that the kind of route you want to go down and see yourself pursuing?

There's different roads you can go down (depending on what you want to do). But you may want to consider some of the essentials such as getting a domain, hosting (setting up a wordpress blog), squeeze page and email autoresponder. Then just work on list-building, building relationships and building your content around what your subscribers need help with.

How would you define a "poor budget"?

You mentioned facebook, however...

You will need some cashola to run paid ads.

I agree with ShaolinSteve. In this situation with minimal funds, a good way to start is to grab a domain, link it to a WP blog, get an autoresponder, build a list, build relationships with your subscribers whilst promoting affiliate products and creating your own products to sell around their needs!

The absolute bestest, best, awesomest way to start for you newbies is to actually read through the forum where thousands before you have asked the same question....

Once you have a better understanding of what is involved you could ask questions that are more focused which will in-turn lead to better answers that will help you much more. These generic "Where to start" questions are of no use and get the same old rehashed answers....

Depends what skills and interests you have, But blogging would be the easiest to get in the door with, out of what you'v mentioned.

The best way to start for a newbie is personal debelopment. Work in your mindset.
Your motivation must be strong enough to overcome the obstacles that will come your way.

I agree with most of the guys, buy domain, autoresponder... build a list, make a website about someting what is interesting for you, something what you like, its all about your budget... but remember it is not going to be easy, one of the marketers when I started 5 years ago he told me, that I need to spend money to make money and he was right. I started to invest in my bussiness and it worth it. You can try to do everything for free but it will be very very difficult and will take a long time

start a niche website. It's easy.

What are you good at? Can you do graphics, write copy, create videos, or have the ability to sell ice cubes to an Eskimo?

If you have a skill, especially if it's something you really enjoy doing, that is a good starting point. Those types of skills can be offered on sites like Fiverr and Elance.

But my suggestion is to first get a solid education about all that's entailed in making money online, what is required, and what your options are, with the skills, interests, and passions you have.

Here's a link to a very thorough free video course, where you are shown right at the beginning which module to watch, based on your interests.
That way, it doesn't have to take any longer than you want it to.

Once you have that knowledge, you will be much better prepared to make an educated decision about what to do next.

By the way, the course is totally free, and there is no attempt to sell anything.

The videos aren't too long. The information is delivered in bite-sized chunks, and the whole course was made by one of the most successful online marketers, so you can be sure the information is top-notch.

Here's the link: WEB TRAINING BEGINS

I hope this helps. Remember...do something you love and you'll never work a day in your life!
Good luck

i saw facebook, listed in your thread. go for fb ads. build a fanpage and buy likes to it aand market to your fan page fans.
simple

I will say that I made money fairly quickly from a simple video, but I need to be kicked in the pants for not starting list building earlier. When Affiliate sites were more popular, many guys taught getting most of the sales from the site and didn't concentrate on listbuilding as much. Bad mistake and I'm still playing catchup.

Probably an affiliate program or a resell rights package. No matter what you sell or offer, you're going to have to market it superbly anyway. So no escaping this. Some people think they can slide past this loophole by selling on Amazon or Ebay. But at the end of the day, it all boils down to marketing.

Learn how to market online and don't get sucked into every $5,000/hour course you see. Good luck.

Seven years ago I started with Blogging and that's where I got the confidence as I started making money after the first month or so.

It by no means is easy. Plus, you do have to be fairly good at writing.
And have some great ideas and be able to turn those ideas into well constructed Posts.

You have to start learning and doing.

Blogging is a great way to do both at the same time, and it will help you understand yourself and what you are interested in better, get you focused and start building an online presence.

It is a long-term strategy, and you can add things in as you go, like affiliate marketing, create your own product, build a list...all that is mentioned above.

Make a start today, and just do something each day to get a bit closer to your goals.

start a blog and make a squeeze page. sign up to jvzoo and request links to offers in the niche you want to get in. post all that stuff you did on your blog. do some promoting [advertising]

send your subscribers to your blog for updates.

sign up for social sites like linkedin, instagram, youtube, twitter, etc. depending on your niche. use the same image of yourself across them all with all your links made available for someone to connect with you.

Have an upsell. could be a product, service, software, or some biz op company

but start with the squeeze page and the blog.

Get a job. Don't even think about IM until you have enough money (you can afford to lose) to invest.

The secret is to take action. All the wonderings and the “what if’s” in the world is not going to change your life if you take no action. If your friend tells you about a seminar and “that this will be the best seminar ever”, you have to go to the workshop.
Make a video of your life or your dreams, (you don’t have to show it to anyone), start a blog on blogger.com say of your life, its free but get started - Take action, get going, move away from the telle, begin somewhere. There are plenty of free PDF,s about as well Don’t go for the ones with 100 pages that use 36 pt bold print, find ones with good content about a topic that interests you.

Offer your services online.
What skills do you have that other people need?
Be helpful and once you establish relationship with your audience, you can start offering them affiliate products or your own product.

But I agree with what they've mentioned here about starting a blog and start building your list.

Ok,

So this might help a lot of people on here so I will make my post a little longer and more of a short rough guide to help anyone who is looking for something to get started on a shoe string budget.

The absolute easiest way to get started making money almost instantly is ebay. I have a few accounts and sell nothing but information products which are burned to disc.

My most recent account (I like to split them and have dedicated accounts for different information areas) was opened about 100 days ago and I started selling about 45 days ago. This account has already pulled in around $1200 after materials, postage and packaging...

All from one simple product that took me about 2 hours to record and edit. I will use this account as an example in this post. Obviously I won't give you niche ideas but I will outline a simple process that you can replicate.

Ok, so without giving everything away... What I do is look for something that sells by the bucket load and in this case I found an item that sells for $70 - $120 all day long.

When I find that item I will see if there is anything to accompany or enhance it. If there is something I will set up a test listing. If the item sells I will then continue with it.

So in my new account I found something that is highly popular and recorded videos showing people how to get the same amazing results as this physical product but setting it up them self at home.

I already knew this one would be a hit before I started selling it. I have had 2 different models of the physical version and they failed to live upto their hype. But setting it up yourself is a lot more stable and cost effective.

What I done was create my product and also created an IM style salespage, listed it for $12.99 and wait for the sales to start pouring in. Until sales pickup I will simply burn the files to disc my self.

Once I hit $55 from sales I will order a batch of 50 discs which come printed with my cover, complete with my files burned onto them and inside a plastic wallet and a box of 50 durable board backed cd mailers.

As soon as they all arrive I will place the discs into the mailers and stamp them all so I have 50 items that just need the address writing on and mailing. All I need to do now is wait until thekids go to bed and spend 20 minutes writing the addresses on the days orders. I then pop them in the mail box when I take the kids to school the next day.

These opportunities are absolutely everywhere on ebay and the possibilities are endless. If you spend a little time looking you will find literally hundreds of ways to sell one simple product.

Whats more once you find an opportunity you will even find a product enhancer you can use yourself right there on ebay.

You can even use a simple trick to blast your items right near the top on the first page, but I will save that for another post.

If you have any questions please do ask and I will be happy to help.

Doing something you love is bad advice. Rather, you should be working on a procedure for marketing anything. Take any product and determine the marketing approach for it. For starters, what is its unique selling proposition? What distinguishes it from the rest? Learn how to build a landing page that converts.
Here's a good link: 10 Ways To Create High Converting Headlines

Now add a sprinkle of good, basic SEO. Some links from high-value authority sites. And then rank it on Google or buy some traffic or buy a solo ad to run against someone else's list.

I suggest you refer this wonderful article 5 Real Ways to Actually Make Money Online and choose what will work for you best…

I have done the same and gained success in my own home business venture…

Best way to star for me is nothing from these 3 points what you find, because if I am on really poor budget I cannot invest too much in any of these 3 methods. Think about that this way hosting can cost you 10 dollars a month , domain 10 dollars a year.

I suggest you to look at freelancing sites like upwork, fiver or here in section warriors for hire , from there you can earn you start up money and start your blog with nice hosting and professional theme without worrying too much about budget.With money you can then outsource some things like article writing or social media management.

Hello,
I cried a lot because of your absence ; )

Now, to answer your question: there are many ways to make money. What I would recommend from your choices is blogging. You could mix your blog with affiliate marketing a bit. I mean writing reviews about products and embedding an affiliate link or two.

I mean if you're really passionate with what you are going to blog about, then I highly recommend you to do it! Further, you could make money with Adsense. With a blog there is so much you can integrate.

Goodluck!

Get your mindset right and never shy away from doing paid ads every single day. Start with a small budget of $10 for example.

Most marketers started with paid ads on a very low scale and when they saw some results, they scaled like crazy.

Some spend $100-$1000 per DAY.

I can't see buying and selling websites as something for newbies. Blogging is a good idea though. It will teach you loads of skills from writing, customer support (answering comments) over technical stuff when dealing with a CMS like WordPress.

Find a product that solves a problem and has great track record.

Then Forum marketing or social media begin affiliate marketing.

Get a sale.

That feeling of getting a sale will be the best medicine a newbie can experience.

You will never give up you will naturally learn all you can you will wake up excited each day and grow a real business.
