Am I on the right track? Advice greatly appreciated.
Quick background of myself. I first started getting into making money online when I was 12, almost 13. I've had an entrepreneurial mindset since I started out selling on eBay just as a fun little hobby to make some side cash at a young age. It eventually turned into something more serious and I was making almost a full time income from the ages of 15-18. Due to the increase in competition with ecommerce and getting busy with college, I stopped for the most part. Went to a community college for 2 years and graduated with a business administration degree. Went to a public college for another 4 years and graduated this past May (2015) with a bachelors in economics and a minor in business. I really have no interest working for someone else, unless it absolutely comes to that. After realizing how dumb college probably was, and that no one is just out there handing you high paying jobs (even with two college degrees, internships and decent experience) I started researching ways to make money online I would say about mid summer of this year. Fell in love with the concept of internet marketing and have been learning ever since.
Current situation I have a full years membership through Wealthy Affiliate (online university teaching internet marketing concepts). I also have a paid keyword analyzation tool. Started earlier in the year but truly started putting in real work on August 1st. I have a website up and running (teachmeresidual.com) through WordPress and I'm spending every day I can either learning new information, or writing/editing content. My niche, is teaching different ways to create an income online. I do have some traffic coming to the site, but a good portion of it I believe is spam (referral). My posts and pages are ranked and get indexed fast, but I'm usually ranked on pages 4-6 even though I've done my keyword research to target low competition. Even though I know I need to continue to build an 'authority site' and build search engines trusts. I'm starting to get overloaded with information with where I need to go next for monetization/advertising methods. Solo ads, media buys, email lists, pay per click, adwords, adsense, squeeze pages, opt in pages, etc etc I'm starting to feel lost in a sea of information and that I am in over my head.
Also, I'm starting to feel insecure about my ability to offer valuable information and provide solutions to others in this niche, considering I'm not a internet marketing guru making millions of dollars online. I also don't feel that I'm extremely talented at writing articles, selling to others, designing web page layouts etc.
My question is (in your opinion, I know this is extremely subjective) am I on the right track? Am I able to truly create an income online in this niche if I keep up what I'm doing? Where should I go from here to boost progress?
