Help from a nonthreat idiot

6 replies
I have spent so much time and money trying to see even a dollar in profit on the internet. I am a great customer to the guru's. It has been a long year and I have tried even mentors advertised and got burned.

Well, I took action, followed expensive instructions for a year and have come up with nothing. I did not realize how much greed there really is.

I volunteered to help out low-income families make extra money on the internet with what I have learned for our community. I feel terrible that I cannot give any help at all for now.

Just to keep the faith, does anyone have ANY suggestions to make just ANYTHING so I can restore faith and maybe pass it along to others.

It would be greatly appreciated.( I am not talking about making 5-10K a month, a hundred or two would mean a great deal for many and me).

Thank you for you consideration.

    Hi Tohama,

    It's unfortunate that you haven't had the result you're looking for - but many of us fail for a while before seeing a glimpse of real success. We do learn more from failures than victories after all

    That being said - I would like to help you turn that lack of faith into a new found motivation. There is light at the end of the tunnel for anyone willing to persist, learn and be proactive.

    There is a ton to learn but in order to get started I would need to know a bit more about your specialties, skills and qualifications. Are you a designer? Author? Search engine specialist?

    It sounds like you pay-it-forward, something I think is so important in this world. Send me a PM and let's get in touch via email to talk about some real methods you can use, and a path of focus that will keep you motivated.

    In the meantime feel free to check out my blog, I had some recent posts reviewing common "money making methods" online. I'll also be including articles on the blog from my personal experiences in the industry with SEO, copywriting, AdWords and PPC, affiliate marketing and managment, domain trading and development and many other realms of internet marketing. It's free too (Don't spend another dollar on "money making programs" until you understand how they work inside and out).

    Hope this helps and I'm looking forward to chatting!

    Cheers,
    Kris

    I agree with Krisism
    We need to know what you have been doing so far, what methods have you been using?
    Have you been trying to adverise with a review style site, PPC, Blog etc.
    Also most of us have been burned by these so called "gurus" many of them are just scam artists preying on newbies for a living.
    The best thing to do before you buy anything is to use forums, best being WF IMHO, check what your peers think about a certain product, 99.9% of the time you will get honest reviews.
    Cheers

    Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

    There are a lot of factors in success and failure, but a major one in all marketing is not having a clearly defined profile of your customer, understanding their wants (NOT THEIR NEEDS) and providing products and/or services that fill those wants.

    If you're marketing to some generic "crowd", even in a niche, you're not selling to an individual.

    The folks that make money online are the folks that know how to make money online.

    I know that my statement may sound useless, but it is more important than it may seem.

      There are lots of step by step guides here that you don't have to pay for.
      Here are three:

      http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ing-penny.html

      http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...print-you.html

      Also, since you have taken action over the last year, and so have some experience, you might consider joining the War Room, which will give you access to lots more guides, blueprints and advice, from people who are making money online.

        Anyone that tell you that you can make money fast online is not being entirely honest with you.

        To start making money online there are a few simple facts and processes that you have to put in place. Most of which you I'm sure you have implemented.

        The biggest thing is time, I had a squidoo lens on the how to learn to sight-read music up for about 6 months before anyone clicked through and bought anything. But then one day while checking my stats I found that in one visit a viewer had bought not 1 book but 3. admittedly the commission you get from an amazon sale via squidoo is toilet water compared to if someone clicks your partner link directly. But this gave me hope that the internet is not inhabited totally by the shyster black-hat element that are out to scam you.

        If you provide genuine content and review products that you yourself have bought and found of benefit, people will and do purchase.

        The best advice I can give is to not get dis-heartened and give up. One day it will all click into place. That epiphany moment will happen.

        Don't try too much too soon, Start small. Hone you marketing skills one by one.

        By all means be a Jack of All Trades, but, Strive to be a master of One.
