Advice - Don't know what to do?

I would say this - Try one thing at a time until you find something that you can work with. If you don't like article marketing or whatever, don't force it, just move on. If you still want to do it, outsource it. There are millions of ways to get traffic, just keep trying.

Also, I would suggest that you try to create your own product. My experience has been that you'll make way more money selling something of your own than selling something for somebody else.

A decent way into internet marketing is to provide a service related to internet marketing. If I had to make $100 a day with content, I'd be selling 20 articles a day for $5 per long before I'd be submitting 20 articles a day to EZA and whatnot. A pal of mine saved himself from homelessness penny-a-wording from Starbucks on a borrowed laptop, worked his way into a book review a day for $500 a week deal (he joked about making $100 an hour for an hour a day), and last I heard he was outsourcing most of his work now and just editing it before he sent to clients.

There's miners, and there's the guys selling pickaxes. Miners don't always strike gold, but they have to buy pickaxes.

Jeremy is right. It all works, it's just some people are good at certain things and are able to get them working for them. You either need to change your angle instead of flogging a dead horse, or you need to find something that you can grasp.

I would first of all look at building a small site, blog or landing page (with contact page). Or maybe two of them.

Set one up around a product and one around a free product that you can give away in order for a sign-up to your mailing list.

Ensure you have your target keywords in place, not too competitive and then build backlinks. Submit a few articles making proper use of your resource box.

Don't start your resource box off with 'Written by....'. This indicates the end of your article and people may not read beyond it.

I have another great tip for your opt-in page but I was wanting to give it it's own thread which I'm going to do in about 30 minutes so take a look there shortly. It's a tip on how to make money when people sign up to your list... And it works!

Just stay focused. It's a good thing to open a word / notepad document and write a short list of your tasks, from start to finish of your project. Then start from the top and work your way through them one by one.

Once you start making money you then simply repeat the process using the same work structure but new products and ideas to create revenue streams.

A little something that happened with me recently which always puts a smile on my face. Hopefully this will inspire you. Last saturday night I took my wife and two kids out to TGI's for a meal and then to the cinemas. After the food, drinks, sweets, popcorn... You name it, the bill for those few hours was about £95 which is about $150 I think. In those few hours I made over $200 automated income from just two revenue streams from organic traffic. I was basically earning more whilst out socialising than I was spending. All from the internet without having o lift a finger. I get sales notifications come through to my Blackberry.

My point is, once you set up a few automated sales streams that each bring in money everyday you'll find that this happens to you.

Don't give up. Stick with it and be patient. Just don't get caught in the wheel if it aint turning, find another. In other words just approach what you're doing from another angle.

One last piece of advice, depending what your promoting, video and screenshots increase conversions. I had a massive jump in sales when I added a few google serps screenshots to one of my sites. As for videos, if it's software you're selling it is a good way to give the visitos a closer look and illustrate how it works.

Good luck.

I'd say the big mistake is the new shiny object syndrome. A new product comes out, they buy it, dabble with it for a bit and then move on to the next. It's the same with network marketing. People join, dabble for a bit and then join the next new pre-launch.

Do a bit of reserch, find an internet marketing process you enjoy and run with it. If you buy new products, implement them into your current project(s). Putting too much on your plate might cause you to do nothing and that's another obstacle.
