Default total newbie here, $160 budget...what to buy?

ok so Im really new to IM, and i have a budget of $160 to buy tools/gadgets or w/e.

MY GOALS

i just want to make enough money through IM so i dont have to work outside of the net. (1500 a month)

i have no knowledge of HTML or website building. ive recently learned about affiliate marketing through moreniche.com and dont really know where to start.

ive looked at this too called sitebuilder elite and it looks like awesome (from the website adleast) but i cant find any reviews on it and im kinda leaning toward it not being legit

what products/strategies would you guys reccommend for a total newbie like myself?

Thanks in advance, Matrix

Actually, that's good advice. Keep the rest of your money in your pocket until you've read through the War Room posts, made notes about which business models you like, whose posts you like reading, etc.

Learn the IM language and discover which Warriors give valuable free advice before you start spending money.

Then map out your business plan on paper (or use a free web ap named freemind -- just google it), make a list of tools you need to implement it, and make sure you leave yourself at least $20 for web hosting and a domain name -- but you may not even these those right away if you can test out your business model first using free websites.

Enjoy your new adventure and good luck to you!

I really have to agree with Michael. The War Room has saved me literally thousands of dollars in regards to information products and software.

One thing that I would caution you on, is the massive amount of information in there. What I suggest is to pick a particular method of marketing (say article marketing, or what have you), and use the forum search tool WITHIN the War Room sub forum to get specific and quality information, products, etc. on that marketing technique. This will ensure that you don't get overwhelmed.

In seriousness...

Depends what you want to do. It is kind of like saying you want to travel to a city, but which city do you want to travel to?

What exactly is it you want to do?

There are tons of free tools and resources online, save the cash for things you have to pay for like domains and hosting, EVERYTHING else you can get for FREE.

First you need to figure out what you want to do online, there's 100s ways of making money online and multiple approaches to affiliate marketing.

Just stay on the forum and read as much as possible to get the ideas. This is your BEST investment!

But beware and think twice before you get excited about any one product promising to make you rich soon.

Very often it's the easiest way to loose money instead of making it.

You certainly don't have to join the war room. Actually, you don't have to buy any kind of information at all. All you have to do is to read through all the marketing forums on the net and you will start putting 1 and 1 together. Google "affiliate marketing forums" and "affiliate marketing blogs" and start soaking up everything. Don't go and buy stuff you don't know for certain that you will use. Actaully, don't buy anything the first few weeks of learning.

If i were you though, i would not start with affiliate marketing. Starting out with a blogger.com blog and Google AdSense is probably the easiest way (and totally free) for a beginner, with no HTML knowledge and no affiliate marketing experience, to make some money online. The reason adsense is better than affiliate marketing to start with is that it's way easier to see immediate results, because you get paid per click and not per sale/lead. Immediate results, even though they might be just pennies, will then motivate you to continue pushing your blog to higher levels. Then, when you have realized that it is possible to make some money online you can go and learn about affiliate marketing. But.. that's just what i would do.

INSANE $7 dollar offer! Clean and simple Wordpress Landing Page Templates, niche review templates, sales letter templates, graphics and a geo IP targeting script for just $7 measly bucks.

War Room - then, if he's selling it currently, Eric Louviere's
WarriorTactics video course.


Unless you have a skill you can market as a freelancer your
chances of maing $1500/mo are slim as a beginning marketer.
Marketing, as a general rule, is a harsh mistress who demands
you pay to play. $160 is not enough to get the traction
to get you to $1500 monthly unless you freelance.

There is no magic pill to success. After spending $$$ and hours of time it comes down to just a few things.

*Focus
*Action
*Persistance

Don't get hung up on perfection. Find something you like and just do it. I've wasted a lot of time and energy thinking that everything had to be perfect. If you wait until you think everything is perfect you will go nowhere.

I'm not saying to jump blindly into something; just make sure you set a goal and move towards it. It's easy to get sidetracked and find that you've spent a boat load of money and time without getting any closer to success.

I've learned more in the last month by taking action than I did the last 11 months sitting around reading and dreaming about success.

Completely agree. Pick something you feel passionate about or else it will be really hard to have the drive to learn everything you need to know. Also you may want to start just by cruising these public threads.

After that, joining War Room seems like most logical step to me.
Good luck :-)

Hi The Billionaire Girl,

a word of advice.. a recommendation on a forum is more believable when it comes without an affiliate link...

While I do know about google sniper and agree it is awesome I will recommend it without an affiliate link see here: George Brown's Google Sniper - Autopilot Affiliate Marketing Guide - With no affiliation

I see you are new here and don't want you losing it before you get it

regards,
Dennis Cheesman

Hi matrix1989,

There a couple of ways to go about. In fact, there are 2 major ways which are,

a) Free - Article Marketing/SEO
b) Paid - Paid advertising/PPC/Media Buy

All right, since you have only $160 to spend, seriously, I advise you to brush up on your market research skill. This is paramount as you will want to know what your market likes, dislike, demand and buying power. After that, go learn keyword research. In keyword research, don't need to be perfect. If you know what your market wants, keyword research is easy. Next, you may want to put up some article in web 2.0 properties like, squidoo, hubpages, weebly. All these will help you easily rank for some keywords.

During this stage, you may want to buy a domain to do a domain forwarding to whatever product you are promoting. It cost you around $1 to $10 depending on where you buy your domain.

After that, once everything is set up, it is just focus on your marketing effort and keep tuning.

Hope this helps

As far as newbie friendly website software, go with 90 second website builder. Pretend to leave the page and they will knock the price from $77 to $57.

Info products usually suck so be careful before you hit the buy button.

Read this forum, Jon Volk's blog and past posts on Cash Tactics (especially the ones that Ruck did).

CT alone will take you some time to truly absorb and understand.

Get a hosting package from bluehost and domain from go daddy. Build a lander and start promoting with what you learned... then test, test, test.

Best,
Corey

I agree with everyone who say war room.

Also, don't spend any money until you have a plan. It sounds like affiliate marketing is your preference so check out clickbank.com, commission junction, etc (google -affiliate sites- for more options) and read their 'how to' join, get involved, etc. A lot of these sites have forums all about affiliate marketing as well so that will help.

Start spending money after you have a plan, researched your niche, and found a market for your products. Then you will want to spend money on autoresponders and website hosting (sometimes even that is free).

If you want a more detailed plan,buy books on affiliate marketing to get a couple guru's perspective. Ewen Chia has a very detailed book recommended by Allen Says, Warrior Room Founder, and others. I refer to it all the time.

Good Luck!

Don't spend a dime on tools, software, etc. until you have a business plan put into place. Below are some good links to help you develop one:

How to Prepare a Business Plan

Small Business Training Network

Free On-Demand Online Learning Programs (has free business course covering everything from accounting & taxes to sales & marketing.)

Sample Home Business Business Plans

Until you know what you want to do and how you are going to get there, you will spin your wheels and waste money. Hope this helps.

Default Re: total newbie here, $160 budget...what to buy?

I agree with those above who have said you need a plan. It is not enough to just have a target goal of $1500/mo. You need more specific targeted goals.

Like mentioned above, you can find a lot of information and learn a lot of things from this forum and in the war room. Do your due diligence first until you find something that just clicks. Once you finally get something that you just "get" then you need to make a plan and go forward with it.

I also like the idea of trying the 30 day challenge as it gets you in that "mode" so to speak as to take action. Lack of action is usually one of the biggest causes of failure.

$160 is also not very much to invest in anything so, I would try to put away a couple more dollars and research until you get around $500 at least.

If you are having trouble raising money, the freelance route and service route is a good way to go. If you become good at one of the services, you can easily overcome the $1500/mo requirement without a problem. Then again though, you will be working for someone and would be similar to a 9-5.

Wish you the best of luck!

I just reviewed "affiliate sniper" to use as an affilate product. They have great information on how to get started without spending a dime. It is alot more work than using software but I think its good to get an understanding of what the software needs to do before buying it anyway. The authors were George Brown and Alex? sure you can find it by searching affiliate sniper and I believe George is a member on here.
Just remembered thirtydaychallenge was great too - and free.
Good Luck - its hard at first but well worth it.

Yours in Health and Success

What I did (because my wife said I could only spend what I made online, and it made getting started very difficult) was sign up for an account at freelancing sites (I prefer Odesk).

I wrote/rewrote articles for people. While it takes some time and until you have some positive reviews you may not make much per article, it will cover monthly expenses like hosting/autoresponder/memberships etc.

Granted, this detracts from time spent actually working on your own business, it allows you to break even or even make a little extra money while you are starting out online. I focused on getting jobs writing articles related to building a business online and actually learned little bit while I was working.

Plus, once you establish a budget for expenses per month for hosting and the like, you will know how much work you need to do freelancing to cover the minimal starting costs.

These are wise words indeed. You can download and read 100 information products but it will not do a thing for you until you put something into action. That is the #1 mistake I made. I could have put myself two months ahead if I would have just done *something*

Act now. Write something. Whether it's an article or an e-mail to a mentor or an action plan. Commit yourself to adding value to the world and do it often. That's the key.

Having said all that, the 37 bucks I put into the War Room was the best ROI I've seen in a long time.

I second that. This is probably the most important peace of advice you need when you're just starting out.

Hey ~ I truly think if you join someplace like the war room you're going to be completely overwhelmed and probably end up chasing your tail around for the next 6 months.

Find something that is simple, where there is support for you, where you can ask questions and get answers. Check my signature for something that might be perfect for you. (it's all free).

get a free guide to affiliate marketing or online money making. (search google, or grab some from my sig) then invest in autoresponder, Aweber, and get webhosting.

That should do it for now, I think.

Your aim is to make money so you want to be looking to spend as little of your budget as possible....

Honestly all of the info you need to start is out there, for free. You buy helpful tools after you start making money.

My advice is that the 1 essential you need to get started is Web Hosting. You're going to want your own website pretty soon after starting, this is the one essential thing you can't get for free.

Default Re: total newbie here, $160 budget...what to buy?

I forgot to give some advice

The best thing you can do when you're just starting out is find something that already works for someone else, and than just duplicate it. Creativity and innovation have great appeal, but they're quite lethal when you're a beginner.

Now, here's what you can do for $160 bucks...

1. Buy a hosting (but wait until you've prepared everything else). If I were you I would go for cheapest reliable hosting. You can find on on Namecheap.com ($39.95/year, and you can even pay it monthly). It's only one domain hosting, but you should focus on making one site work. If you want to make more than one site go for Bluehost.com. But than again they are about $85/year and that's more than 50% of your capital.

2. Get a domain. It's less than $10. I personally use Namecheap, but any reliable registrar will do. (Also wait until you've prepared everything else)

3. Now, IT'S DUPLICATING TIME! Find some good ebook, in good market, that sells good, as far as you can tell. Get some facts, don't base this decision on feelings. Buy it, borrow it, steal it, whatever. You'll rewrite this book in your own words (It will take you less than 7 days. I was ignorant enough to spend 4 months writing my own book, and ended up with mediocre results. You can have GREAT results in 7 days.)

4. Make 1-Page sales letter for your book. You can do 2-step model if you like. It's a very good strategy, but it will require some more work, and some money for autoresponder (GetResponse, aweber, etc).

5. Shell out $50 to join ClickBank, as a merchant, of course. Now you can sell your book. CB has some 100,000 affiliates or so, and you have a good chance of getting some affiliates there.

6. Announce your affiliate program where you can for free. You'll find some affiliate forums and directories. Join IM forums like this one, learn about free IM techniques (since you don't have money yet), and promote your affiliate program at the same time. There are many affiliates here, and some will be interested. You can also make some joint ventures.

7. Once you make some sales, do some paid marketing. PPC, paying to promote your aff program to aff communities, ads on relevant sites, etc.

There you have it. For $160 and 30 days of focused work, you will have your own online business. From that point on, every effort you make will add to your business, unlike when you're working for someone else.

Just remember, your key to success here is SIMPLICITY. Keep it simple. (Ebook, 1-page sales letter is a good option). You don't need to find out everything there is about IM to start. In fact, I strongly advise against it because you'll end up overwhelmed with too many information, too many options. Just focus on 1 thing that will do the trick, and start working on it NOW.

Sorry if "duplicating" part insults somebody. But that's reality.

Why buy anything, particularly a web design product when you have no web design skills. Moreniche gives you free templates to use with their products. Use one of them or several of them. You will still need the domain names for them so that's a minor expense. You'll also need hosting. I use hostmonster. Cheap and reliable.

Get some experience with creating blogs and blogging before you go spending any money. Build your moreniche site(s). Ask a lot of questions. Read a lot.

While I choose to promote private affiliate programs , click bank or pay dot com could give you an idea for a product .

Understand click bank makes you jump through hoops to get paid the first time . Pay dot com usually works better for the newbie but research the vendor as I have heard horror stories about affiliates not getting paid . I have used them quiet a bit and only have been screwed once .

So far total investment $0.00

Now go to seo book . com and do some keyword research. Look for keywords that command as many searches a day as possible with less than 50,000 competition.

Total investment $0.00

By now you should have a product and some good keywords to get some organic traffic .

Go to yola . com. They will host up to 5 websites for you and their wysiwyg editor is very user friendly . No need to know HTML. No ads

Total cost $0.00

I would invest in a good autoresponder but since we are bumming all the way ... do a google search for free autoresponder .

Set up a capture page with a freebie that is not only relevant to the product you want to sell but actually compliments the product .

The deal is you are giving away the freebie , building a list , redirecting from the ar to your affiliate link.

Take those keywords you picked up and write articles with them and send visitors to your capture page via the resource box .

Total expense $0.00

Now there is easier ways to make money online ... just not many that cost as little to get started .

A capture page is a page designed to hype up your giveaway .

You will put your autoresponder code on it . If you use yola this can all be done with copy and paste ease .

People sign up for your freebie so in essence you are capturing their information .

Hi Matrix1989!

The plan that Troy Phillips give you is awesome... but I will suggest you to spent $10 to buy your own domain name and use wordpress to create a site (blog) then pay the host fees.

Then use article marketing, social marketing to drive traffic to your website, an make money...

A Capture page is a simple page built to capture: name and emails of your visitors (with their permission) You just have to offer a something for free: ebooks, audio, or videos...

Don't put too much pressure on yourself to make X amount of money by day X. I've found that when I do that to myself, sometimes it leads to me making "desperate" purchases in an effort to make quick cash.

Especially for those just starting out, there is no substitute for getting your hands dirty and setting up your own basic site, and doing free promotional methods like article marketing and social promotions.

Just wondering why you would suggest word press ?

I have used yola and weebly sites ... their subdomain. Ranked the site for the keyword on google one in less than a week.

Now I agree that later on your own domain name is a good thing . The same can be said with the autoresponder . I suggest getting them both right of the bat . I have no affiliation with yola but they will sell you the domain name(your own dot com)and host it for one year for less than $20.

Hard to beat that deal if you are new to the whole HTML thing plus a beginner can plug all the seo in the sidebar .

There is just no proof that wordpress ... blog or static site will rank in any order.

What guarantees ranking is quality content arranged in a way that the keywords are easy for the spiders to find and incoming links (admitedly simplified version) .

Not busting anyone's chops here ..... Just saying that because you hear that one thing is the way to go does not make it true . No matter how many times you hear it .

This is really inept advice.

Why would joining a place where 99% of the bulldung is filtered out cause you to chase your tail around for the next 6 months?

I just don't get why some folks who have no experience in there say this foolishness.

They must be professional tail-chasers.

Interesting reading all these comments. Wished I had joined the warrior before! This is my first posting. I have been at it a year spent nearly $50,000 and to date have earnt $67.0. Joined lots of programmes that just peter out on you by expecting to much technical know how and poor support.

Warrior Mindset and Warrior Attitude is important when starting out. Follow some of the forum leaders and study their ways. Allen (admin) and Paul Myers got it and give it graciously. Most of us here have learned much from them. Although Allen once told me something like "Don't try to be me.. be yourself and be a Warrior." Something like that. He is right. Paul once advised me to take my training and push forward with competence. He was right. I am the better for it.

Willie Crawford taught me that a sound "personal foundation" is essential today and more importantly for tomorrow. Whatever you decide to venture into know yourself, your abilities, your inabilities, etc. but know your inner self. It is important.

Steve (seasoned) taught me to watch my back. As many good people there are here there are also some really bad people. It is people like Steve and those that I mentioned that keep some of us out of a lot of trouble.

Ken Troyer and Suzanne Morrison have taught me how to focus and maintain a passionate perspective in my day to day dealings with all things business, but more importantly all things human. Think hard about when you work with customers about what you can do for them that will make their tasks and lives better.

Hope you succeed in all that you strive for and remember to give as much as you can here and out there.

Jeffery 100% :-)

P.S. Do you wake up in the middle of the night with a sudden rush of ideas, sweating, and pushing yourself to your computer to make it happen?

I think you should try to make your first buck first and then maybe invest in something.

May I suggest..?

IM has a lot to do with having the right mindset and having consistency.

Truth is... many things work.

PPC works
Article Marketing works
AdSense works
JVs work

etc.

But the most important thing is...

Getting in front of a STARVING CROWD and giving them exactly what they are hungry for.

Once you do that, you don't need to be a great sales person. They'll eat up everything you have to offer.

Getting there takes an adjustment of your MINDSET... so you are able to spot the hungry crowds.

You don't develop that mindset by buying a software or a tool.

Anyway...

I also think the War Room is great to start. Essentially it's good to pick a marketing strategy that does not involve big up-front investment (like PPC) and then stick to it until you see results.

Article Marketing might be ideal, but I would also stay away from the IM niche in the beginning...

Why?

If you are trying to market to other marketers and you are a beginner, they will spot it easily and you might not be able to convince them to buy from you (or through your link)... This will only frustrate you... There are many niches out there where people are "STARVING", but actually don't know what Internet Marketing is. Some of these are also pretty competitive and not ideal for beginners too, so... it's a fine balance.

Look around for some good posts on niche selection and for some posts on how to do article marketing. Then try to make a free website with WordPress and start driving traffic to it with articles and try to make your first sale.

All of that information is available here on the Warrior Forum!

Once you make that first sale you'll never forget the feeling :-) It's amazing.

This might be not everything there is to it, but I hope it helps a little.

MY GOALS

i just want to make enough money through IM so i dont have to work outside of the net. (1500 a month)

i have no knowledge of HTML or website building. ive recently learned about affiliate marketing through moreniche.com and dont really know where to start.

ive looked at this too called sitebuilder elite and it looks like awesome (from the website adleast) but i cant find any reviews on it and im kinda leaning toward it not being legit

what products/strategies would you guys reccommend for a total newbie like myself?

Thanks in advance, Matrix

Hey Matrix,
absolute Kudos for your balls, guts and determination.

I'm not saying you can't do it with that budget, but if you could start with a little more (at least double or triple it) you will save yourself some serious sweat.

Maybe even just borrow like $300 or put it on a credit card or something. There's a lot you've got to go through and there's a lot of free info out there, but some things cost money.

All the BEST!

Here is my advice.

I would get into one of Jeremy and Dons bootcamp, and follow Bryans Zimmermans advice too.

They helped set free and I have banked 53K from zero since 6/1/09.

You can do a search and find their stuff.

Hope this helps, and their stuff is inexpensive.

It's good you have this budget money you'd be surprised how many people
want to start an IM business with out any money, I tell everybody who wants to do this to have a little money put aside for things like keyword tool, you must be in the right mindset before you start any business and that means spending a little money, but the best place to start is the war room $37.00 one time fee, go in there ask questions find yourself a mentor and dig in for the long haul.

Just like I did.

No cash investment needed.
While there's a ton of good advice here, this is the best advice of the lot.

Read everything on this forum and figure out what appeals to you. Then go forward on that advice ONLY. Focus on that and don't let anything pull you away. Don't let anything seduce you into checking out how something else works. And, for god's sake, don't get sucked into buying the latest/greated whatever.

There's a ton of good stuff here that will give you an idea of what to do.

Read XFactor's posting in the Adsense section.
Read Keith Kogane's posting to see what he does.

Or, if you're interested in affiliate marketing, read Ken Evoy's (now free) ebooks on preseeling and making your knowledge sell.

Before you spend any money, figure out the area you're interested in. Figure out what you're passionate about and only then go forward with what makes sense.

You don't have to spend money - especially in the beginning. Read everything and then decide.
