Newbish girly needs help!

That is a great piece of advice Bruce, If you can write you should offer your services here at the Warrior forum. You should take a look at Warriors for hire and see what other Warriors are offering for services and pricing...

Do you have any other strengths you can think of to outsource, my friend does a bit of graphic design, so he can do this on the side...

Plus have you thought of posting peoples profiles with their backlinking systems... (If you need advice on what backlinking is just pm and I will give you some advice)

I hope this helps...

There is a bit to learn with online marketing, but if you research and take action on what you learn..you could be earning pretty quickly.

Do an search for affiliate marketing...That will be your best place to start.

here is a VERY basic rundown of so you know what you'd be getting into:

1 - Find a niche

Check out some forums, usergroups, and places like yahoo answers. See what kind of questions people are asking. Look for popular topics. Also checkout amazon, ebaay, https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

2 - keyword research

Use the above tools and tools like freekeywords.wordtracker.com/ to find what kind of key words people are searching for.

3 - Get a web hosting account.

They are pretty cheap. Around 10 bucks a month for a good one. Stay away for free web hosts. They are not worth it. I strongly recommend hostgator.com. You can host unlimited domains there, and there price is under $10 a month. If money is an issue, do a search for "hostgator coupons" enter the code when you signup and the first month is only 1 penny. You also could set up a blog at blogger.com for free...

4 - Find or create your product

You can write your own info product or you can go to clickbank.com and chose a product for there. You will get a commission for each sale. If you are just starting out, I would strongly suggest using click bank. Unless you are a very go writer and have a lot of time on your hands, it's the easiest way to start.

5 - Create your site

Now you will want to create a content site. This only needs to be a few pages. You will want to put 10 articles on the site. Make good use of the keywords you researched. Also put out product on the site.

6 - Set up an auto responder

This is optional if you REALLY don't have the money, but it's something you will need to do eventually. This will collect peoples emails on your website. You write a small report (you can base it off of your articles to save time) Have your visitors sign up to get the free report. Make sure you include a link to you product in the report. You can get a good free auto responder @ Email Marketing Software, Autoresponder - GetResponse

7 - Marketing
Remember those forums you looked up to find a good niche. You should start posting (not spamming) on them. Help people out, become an "expert" in your niche. You don't really have to be an expert...but you should look like one. Share and help as many people as you can. Include a link you your site in you signature. Also places like yahoo answers. You can answer peoples questions and include a link in your resource box.

You will also want to submit articles to article directories such as EzineArticles.com.

Another good marketing tip is to exchange links with site in the same niche as you.

There are a lot of different marketing techniques you can use (too many to go into here, but this should get you started) Just search around the forums here.

8 - Repeat

Do this with several different niches. The more sites you have going, the more money you have coming in.

These are just some basic steps to get you started. I could go into serious depth on each point...but this is a good launch ground.

Let us know if you have any questions

Hi Jessica and welcome to the Forum!

On the WSO and Classified section you'll find offers that other Warriors have for sale. Some of them are excellent bargains, but as a beginner you need to exercise good judgment before spending a lot of money.

The most common failing for beginners is to get overwhelmed by the myriad of methods of making money on the Internet. What you really need to do at this stage of your career is to determine what method would suit your skill set and your interests,and then apply yourself to that. Don't get distracted by every offer that comes into your mailbox, just focus on your original game plan.

What are your strengths - and what are your weaknesses? If writing isn't one of them then you can either work on it or choose to hire copywriters who are experts in their field.

Do you have technical strengths and abilities? If you do then i suggest you familiarize yourself with WordPress, by far the easiest way to put up a website. If you aren't a technical person then that is something you will want to farm out as well.

Perhaps you would be good at making videos, either screencasts using products like Camtasia Studio or Cam Studio, or videos with your camcorder or an inexpensive Flip camera. You could use these videos to market affiliate products, or once you become proficient at making them you could post your own WSO and sell your services to others.

If there is a subject or cause that you are passionate about then focus on that and create a niche site - you could sell affiliate products or create your own product.

Explore the forum, a great place to start is with the "All in One" treads that have been assembled to condense information about key topics into one convenient reference.

Learn what you can and take action! If you fail learn from your mistakes. Ask questions and participate in threads - this is a wonderful community of people who are only too happy to help if you are sincere and if you contribute as well.

I wish you all the best in your online endeavors - now get out there and DO IT. You can build yourself a skill that can last you a lifetime and offer you unlimited opportunities.

I beg to differ. Your posts on this page demonstrate excellent spelling, English syntax, and punctuation. Those qualities alone put you above most "writers" on the Internet.

Besides, you will be writing informative articles .... not literary pieces.

Well, your grammar is good enough. That's all you need to be a writer. Look up some existing articles for a given keyword and rewrite it in your words.

Article writing is a way for a brand new newbie to start out on. You can write content for people and you will get an idea of what niches people are targetting and somewhere along the way you will get inspired enough to dive in.

Automated? What type are you talking about there? Someone messaged with something called cpalead with surveys but not sure if thats what your talking about?

I'd skip that one Jessicak, it looks like he's trying to sell you something from his website.
