Feeling Overwhelmed, Need a Little Advice

If you're just looking to make a little xtra money everyday, you could achieve that by blogging on a new platform called Steemit. It pays content creators based on how many upvotes their content receives on the platform. I personally have made $500+ to date.

no bullshit model / IM product?

I don't think you can find one. like WSO, 90% of products is BS and that how the IM works, when you just started, you buy tons of those Bullshit products, then you don't make a dime after following exactly what they told you to do, then Aha moment, you found out the only way to make money is create your own BS IM product and start selling to other newbies and that is all about IM. products.

As was I, I'm greatful for your response.

"I know there's no get rich quick magic button"

Clearly, that's not what I'm after. I just want to know some of the reliable methods used by internet marketers particularly in regards to Facebook. I'm very new to IM and just want some methods I can take action on that aren't '7$ magic bullets' like everyone and their granny is trying to sell me on Youtube.

Leverage anything that is free.

Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Linkedin etc. Post 3 or 4 times daily with relevant hash tags.

Start a blog, If you have the skills to write good copy then great. If not then, believe it or not, you can get blog posts from certain sellers on certain sites for free in the hope of gaining you trust, many new freelancers do this. Take advantage and hopefully you get some decent content. If not it's cost you nothing.

I could go on, but that's plenty to start with.

Sell products or services on a marketplace such as Ebay, or start a YouTube channel and monetize your videos with Google Adsense. The targeted traffic is already there and you don't have to mess around with SEO.

Hey there


You are not alone many newbie get overwhelmed!


What is your site about and what are you selling?


FOCUS is a big thing that will come into play!


and of course hard work....are you trying to do to many things at once?


This causes a lot of people to be overwhelmed...

Research. I do it in both SEO and social and its the only model that works

I see people tank at Facebook and empty their wallet in the process and I've seen people do very well. the distinction is that the successful people -

A) Realize Facebook is a social network much like an offline party/ friendly dinner. You won't last long if you barge into offline parties trying to sell something. Offline they would throw you out on your ears - online they just ignore you

B) attach themselves to an interest demographic on Facebook. research to understand it and offer something in line with that interest. Just in the last few months I have worked with a musician who tapped into a genre of music that fit a facebook crowd and he's on pace to do $60,000 this year. Another is an inspirational speaker with a product (religious in his case) and he's on target for the same both I mention because they are just starting out.

A lot of facebook marketers don't do this. They just have their product and try to use FB to drive traffic to that product without any thought as to whether people socializing around various topics on FB even care about that product.

using the offline analogy again. Go to a party trying to sell car insurance to people out of the blue - resistance and annoyance. Go to a party where people are art lovers , talk about various art and say - oh this is my painting - if its good you probably are going to get a sale.

Find an interest niche on Facebook and create or find the product for that group. Don't just take a product you have and try to drive it at facebook users.

Incidentally both people I mentioned capture email addresses etc and do not rely on immediate click through sales so make sure your site is setup optimally to capture emails and build an effective list.

I hear you, I was the same when I first started out online. There is so much information everywhere you turn, however my advice to you would be to focus and learn one method of marketing whether it is Facebook marketing, blogging or video marketing and become a master of it. Invest in a course about whatever strategy you decide to choose, read up on it and focus on nothing else.

Once you have become a master of that single marketing model/strategy only then should you move to another, otherwise you will be distracted by every shiny object that comes your way which will lead to overwhelm, confusion, frustration and even giving up! - Focus on one strategy.....

First things first, do you have another revenue stream or work while you build up your business?

It can be seriously stressful when you are starting out and while your expectations for income is fairly small, you will want to make sure you're earning enough to get by in the meantime.

You're right - there is no magic switch, however if you work on a few different methods and test them you should get some results.

That Steemit idea sounds like a good one and could be a good way to earn some money while you are testing things out.

Find a mentor and being on WF will also help out - asking questions and seeing what works for others will keep you motivated.

facebook,twitter,linkedin and pinterest are great place..do it continously..

I am struggling with it myself.

The problem is as soon as you give anyone the time of day they will just talk themselves up to no end.

So it is very hard to get a genuine idea of what actually works.

I would say just keep working hard and give yourself a pat on the back for any progress, even if it is tiny.

The key is to build momentum.
