Newbie looking for some help?!

5 replies
Hi, everyone! My name is Almir. I have to first say, I'm sorry if I made some mistakes writing, English is not my main language, because I'm from Bosnia.

So, let me ask you a few questions. I'm looking for way to make money online. I've started about five month ago earning online. I've been using CrowdFlower microtasks, I know this would be funny for someones, but that is my fist way that I started making money online. Now, I'm looking for some better way to make money online. I have a regular job, I'm working every day 9-10 hours, including Sundays, I get about 10 day free in year. So I don't have to much time to spend in front of computer, because I'm not ready to quit my job. I've got no experience with programming, writing, marketing etc. I've been reading a lot on this forum, and can't decide what to do first (so many information available), so I need some help. I was thinking starting a web store, or working on Amazon, Ebay etc. Is it possible to make sales without handling any goods? Do I have to buy stuffs from China, import it to my County, and then try to resell it to others Country's, or it could be done without importing stuffs? Of course, this is one of the ideas, maybe someone can provide me some better advice. I've been also thinking to make my own product/products, and try to sell it to some wholesaler, but I don't have idea what to make, that is option for later in the future.

Basically, I'm confused were to start (I've already said that I'm newbie), what course should I buy?! I'm looking for something on the long run, not some quick ways to make money, but something smaller that can last for longer time. How much money I need to get even started? There are so many courses on this site, and so many information, that's why I'm asking these questions.

Thanks to everyone in front.

    Based on the challenges you face I would suggest looking into Affiliate Marketing. Most of the business has already been set-up for you. It can cost next to nothing to get set-up and you can get started fast.

    A key is to find a company that offers Affiliate Marketer Training, not all companies that have Affiliate marketing programs offer training. Most just give you a few add banners to post or a link and you have to do the rest.

    So, choose wisely.

    Welcome to the world of online!

    My tip would be not to start importing and selling from china yet, test the water by selling a few some objects you don't need around house and get the feel off selling on ebay.

    Dear almirla,

    First of all, you have to commit the number of hours each day you want to invest building YOUR OWN business.

    Selling physical goods is very time and labor consuming.
    There will be a lot of questions from your prospective consumer, especially if you are selling locally.

    If you want to import it then sell it to other country, you will have to handle Customs, both importing and exporting.

    I agree with The Niche Man that you should start as an affiliate marketer.

    Start a niche site, write 5-10 good articles and start applying for affiliate network. Clickbank is a good place to start for a newbie.

    Clickbank doesn't operate in my Country, they don't offer it on the list when want to register, there are neighbors Country's like Croatia and Serbia, but the Bosnia is not on their list. I've registered there using other Croatia as the location, but I didn't want to start do anything because of that. I've seen their training video course is not expensive, it's around 50$, if I remember it right.

    Is there some suggestions on what training course should I buy, something that explains everything from scratch how to get started and set up business?

    About the working hours, I've got no problems spending 5-6 hours in front of the PC after work, of course with some brakes. Working is not a problem, as long is payed off, that is the most important thing.

    Thanks everyone!

    First, you have to get out of the buyers mindset and start learning first. PDFs and videos can easily pile up on your hard drive. Study a few techniques you feel familiar and/or comfortable with and go for it. Better to go with something you're good at or have genuine interest in, it will feel less like hard work.

    You're definitely in the right place to start. If you haven't signed up to the war room yet, I highly recommend it. Just look at some of the case studies and replicate the results. This place is a true goldmine if you're willing to follow trough with action.
