Calling All Newbies Who Are Still Doing Nothing After Learning So Much From All Warriors Here...

Hi Benjamin, were you teaching your brother to write articles and send them to directories or write articles for other people. The reason I ask is I see in your sig that you write for other people.

Hi Bob,

Right, you're on. End of Jan, list report, please.

As you can see from my status I am also a newbie. My goal for the near future is to average one sale a day by the end of March. Methods I am using to meet my target,
1) Finish reconstruction of my website by end of 2009.
2) Continue my PPC campaigns.
3) Utilize backlinks made available from Angela V Edwards
4) Reinvest initial earnings back into the site.
5) Article Marketing.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,
@ james,
if your interested in learning membership sites I own a site designed for this very purpose By the time your done with me you will have one up and running and know how to get content added etc anyways not to go off topic but that is the purpose of my site memberprods.com

For any newbies reading this well I prefer beginners .

Here is a tiny bit of help to get you going in the right direction.

Write a list for yourself for each day. include what things you are going to learn and then APPLY them. If you are going to want to be a product creator then absorb any info on the subject same goes for any subject you may wish to enter I.E> your Niche.

Second. develop a strategy that will do 2 things
make yourself stand out above the crowd.

And allow you to build a rep fast. the strategy needs to include some of the following
what do you have to offer is it writing. is it creating etc surround your strategy around something you are passionate about this will allow you to focus if your really into the subject.

Also include in it a 30 day plan set small goals not huge ones huge goals leave room for huge disappointment and huge chances of giving up. each time you reach a landmark reward yourself maybe get a coffee have a snack of your favorite thing etc. the reason why is you will gain confidence in doing this and the reward is incentive to go on to the next one.

Do not try and do everything at once. start small work up.

The final step is to monetize after your research and absorbing you should have a good grasp on what is needed to monetize your niche. there are several ways to monetize once you have a solid foundation and product. use articles post in forums advertise anywhere you can use google keyword search tool pick the highest search phrases and terms for your site service and niche. local as well as global.

Once you get people coming to the site make them the offer they can't refuse. don't try and write your own sales letter if you don't know how. take it from me it is a lot of work causes a lot of frustration and even after it looks great it still needs work. if you can't hire one grab a program and a book and sit and read and try and when it is good enough you would buy it then post it. I had an awful lot of work to do with mine and that was when I thought it was cool.

Ask for help. Don't ever be afraid to ask for help especially in this forum Many many of us are here for that purpose.

The other thing I suggest in your strategy is looking at your ability as something that is already a commodity Understand that whatever you enter into if it is a fit your already bringing a product -YOU create your strategy around your expertise yes i said expertise remember i just told you to absorb as much as you can in the Niche you chose. this will give you that extra bit of oomph in your venture.

DO not i repeat DO NOT buy anything until you have developed your strategy and decided what Niche your going to enter that best fits your strategy.
I wasted a lot of money and time starting out I learned in the school of hard knocks Internet style .

Once you have done the above you can then

Hope this helps someone
