Hello everyone,
I am still a college student and I want to join the IM field but I have a problem with time
I will have in the holiday 3 months of 24 free time but only one hour a day at study term which will be 6 months so should I wait till I finish my study or with this only one hour a day can I follow my niche ?
Thanks

    IM is very broad. There are many college students who devotes an hour a day to blogging. With your limited schedule, I doubt you can do any freelancing like SEO or virtual assistance for anyone else.

      I would say for the time being focus on your studies and do well there

      Its difficult to do both things together but yes not impossible

      Ultimately its you who has to decide how far you are willing to go

      I do not think that our opinion on this will matter much

    You will need to be a little more specific about what you want to start...

    Focus on your studies.

    Then when you finish in 6 months
    devote more of your time into IM
    if thats truly what you want to do.

    Hi

    This is the right time to familiarize yourself with the basic concepts of Internet marketing..

    I would suggest to start with Understanding the evolution of digital communication.. back in the 80s how the communication got a revolution and disruptive technologies.

    Understand the online boom . how ecommerce boom happened

    What led marketers adopt . Keep a schedule for learning and also a weekly tab on whats happening around .

    If you need guidance dont hesitate to drop a line.

    Thanks
    You need to start with a foundation so with that 1 free hour you can still do lots of learning ,make plans for when you will have time to act on them .1 hour is not going to take you far with IM especially if you are starting out...

    I personally don't think 1 hour a day will cut it, but I guess it depends on your expectations.. how much are you looking to earn?

      300 or 400 $ is enough

        In reality you would need to work at the minim 8 hrs a day to start other will tell you less but don't fooled by work involved

        Like the others have mention finish studies first then look at the other later

        can you get a job waiting tables or work in a Club or Bar?

    Thanks for your kindly replies .
    My studies will finish after 3 years but I have between every 6 months of study 3 months for holiday so my question is if I start a niche on my 3 months holiday" I will work hardly to success on it "
    Can I follow my niche on my studies just by 1 hour a day or it will be hard ?
    I ask you according to your experience.
    Thanks

    You will be surprised how many marketers have not celebrated their 18th B days yet!

    Ryan Moran is one of my Fav marketers and I guess you can say he is "Guru" status now.

    He got started while still in college so it can definitely be done.

    But we are are in unique scenarios taking place in our lives.

    How would you react to creating a product and waking up to alot of money in your bank account? Would you continue as planned? What it be a major distraction?

    What if you invested time and did not make any money at all?

    There is no right or wrong answer only what you are comfortable with taking into consideration your long term goals.

    A lot of people are studying for years to be years in heavy debt once they graduate.

    I guess you can tell which way people are leaning by their comments.

    If you can focus on your studies, that will be great. However, if you already have some experience in IM, find something that works for you and automate the whole process.

    Like traffic purchase, Email autoresponders, etc

    The key is finding what works for you and automate the whole process so you can focus on your studies.

    Hope this helps.

    From the answers I deduce that it will be hard to start a niche beside my studies .
    But my thinking is to start a niche in 3 months and it will not take a lot of time to follow it in studies time as I will earn only from Google Ads .
    And I was thinking to gain a lot of experience at IM
    During this 3 years cause after graduation I will work as an civil engineer and in my free time (I guess it will be 6 hours a day) I will work on the internet .
    What is your opinions about my thinking?

    Get your education first man. Finish your studies. I wish I did when I had the chance. But eventually I did go back and landed me a great computer job afterwards.

    But at the end of the day it's an invaluable asset that can provide you with a good lifestyle. And you can use it to get a good job that will pay you enough to invest a lot of money into your internet business whenever you want to begin.
