Hey guys. Recently I've been looking into internet marketing and I don't really know where to start. I've been learning some basic info, but do you guys think I should start with a niche website, good content, and use click bank to market affiliate products? Any suggestions are encouraged.

Thanks

    Well first you should look at your personal life and ask your self

    What Am I Passionate about?

    If you have a clear passion then building a blog around it is a great way to make an income online.

    If you do not have a passion, then you must have somethings that you are interested in.

    make a list of these and once you have an idea of topic (or niche) that you would like to build your online business around,

    then you can get more specific with your questions and your task.

    You can definitely start a blog, build an email list, and promote affiliate products to your readers.

    Just consider these things when picking out a topic or a niche.

    1. Is it profitable? (Or is there a big enough audience for it?)

    if you go to clickbank or amazon and type in the keyword for your topic

    ex. puppy training

    and you see lots of products,

    then that mean there are people out there buying them.

    so if there are lots of products then the niche is profitable.

    2. Can I write about this topic all the time?


    if you can not,

    then you have to be passionate about learning all you can about the subject and sharing your knowledge with others

    3. Look up more info on picking the right "Niche"

    Once you have a niche, and you have an idea of the products you want to promote

    then you need to build your website.

    I recommend that you research other successful people in the same niche and mimic what they have done.

    learn all about them and do what they do, on your site with your own spin to it


    But The Biggest Advice I Can Give You, Is That You Need To Get Educated

    Learn all you can about internet marketing but at the same time keep taking action,

    find other marketer that you like and follow them,

    read blog post form the experts and always keep learning.

    Tip: Look up on Google "authoritative Internet Marketing Website" and sign up for their email list!

    you will get loads of great content doing this, and you will learn who the leader are in the internet marketing world!

    and you can learn form them

    here are a couple of my favorite

    Pat Flynn

    Ana Hoffman

    Russell Brunson



    All The Best

    No one person can tell you what you need to or should do.

    You said you have been learning, so use the knowledge and the basic info you have learned....pick a strategy from one of the millions available on the forum, and then just start.

    The longer you procrastinate and wait for someone to validate what you are doing, the longer you get nothing done.

    You can simply start Advertising your Product / Services on top Classified Sites like Craigslist, kijiji etc .. Share on Social Media.. Answer Phone Calls / Emails and convert Leads into Sales..

    Once you start getting leads.. Create your own website.. Do SEO and enjoy lot and lot of leads..

    I am doing online marketing from last 5 years and that's how i started.. I hope this will help you too..

    Yes, creating your own niche (website) is a good idea.

    It is best to create a website around something you have as a passion.

    It is much easier to add and create content to a website when you have a passion for it.

    You will also want to add an optin form offering a gift or a newslettter filled with great value.

    Building a list is key to earning good money online.

    You will also have to learn how to get your site ranked and seo ready to get more traffic and views from Google.

    You can use clickbank, but you can find all kinds of great affilaite programs for any niche you decide to start.

    Just search google for "name of niche" affiliate programs.

    Good luck

    I agree a lot with what Mike said.

    One way to think about this is to ask yourself; "What problems am I passionate about solving?"

    If you think in those terms you will be able to discover something about you while at the same time you will be able to think through how you can create a business that accomplishes that.

    Here is the cool part... it won't matter what the business is if it's accomplishing the answer to the question... but you will have to evaluate the viability of the business to an audience.

    Hope that helps?

    Again, I would start with the question "what problems am I passionate about solving?"

    Best wishes!

    You can start by buying some WSOs and implement those methods.

    i agree with what "PassiveIncomes" said. I started by spending $100 on some WSOs and following their blueprint. This will get your feet on the ground rather quickly. You can learn while executing some WSO ideas. In the meantime, keep yourself Educating which should be continuous.

        Or you can save your money and learn how to search for stuff.

        Don't buy until you can really understand what it is you are buying and why you think you need to buy it.

    So what have you learned so far?

    Making money online all comes down to supply and demand. There are many different ways to make money online but in my experience the best and fastest way is to promote other peoples products and services. Become an affiliate.

    I'm going to be straight up with you and tell you that you are going to have to work. Especially if you want to become part of the 2% like myself who make a full time income online. You need to take the time to separate yourself from your competition if you truly want any chance of success.

    Don't let my words scare you because it is actually quite easy to do but only once you understand.
