Complete and utter newbie

Afternoon.

I want to get into IM, and I know almost nothing. I have watched a few video's on using clickbank and finding keywords though.

Can anybody reccommend where to start if I currently have very little money? Any tips? I don't want to become overwhelmed with information (want to take action ASAP).

    Well getting your research right is a good start. I would advise spending time reading through the forums and getting to terms with what your about to get in to.

    Then act on what you learn. Set up a blog promote a product from clickbank and then start writing articles on ezinearticles. Thats a simple way to start but by no means the best. The problem is your going to have to become overwhelmed with information...I guess thats how you get to a stage where it all just clicks. Well thats how it worked for me. I feel information overload has to happen to everyone because starting with a new method takes time and when learning many new skills.

    For example a method might be easy but then you have to know how to create a website, how to build backlinks, how to create a site that sells.

    A good product I can highly recommend is thehostiletakeover.com, Don and Jeremy over deliver and it starts off with newcomers in mind! But there will be parts your will get confused with but you can just ask them questions in the forum.

    Hi Hayden

    You've made a good start because you're in a good place to learn.
    There are lot of people here ranging from absolute beginners to seasoned experts.

    You can see what the experts are suggesting and also benefit from the other beginners' experiences.

    Don't fall into the trap of buying everything that's offered to you in the hope of taking shortcuts.
    Like every other business, "Marketing" involves work and at the beginning that means quite
    a lot of it.

    Decide firstly what you want to get out of your business whether it's a few extra dollars or a long term income.

    Do some research and decide on some possible routes to get you to where you want to be.

    Work out a simple basic plan but don't get bogged down with a great big "Master Plan" because you'll need to
    adapt as you go along and learn more.

    Keep a watchful eye in this forum and find out who people are listening to - the popular members
    who others go back and thank etc.

    Taking action ASAP is a good thing.
    Don't get bogged down in detail.
    Get the simple stuff working for you first.

    People make money from the most basic simple sites, giving away simple short reports or ebooks
    with affiliate links inside. You don't need all the bells and whistles just to get started.

    The best motivation is just seeing it starting to work.
    If you get the baby steps working first then the rest will follow a lot quicker than if you go for
    big stuff too soon and get dis-heartened when it doesn't pay off right away.

    All the very best

      Hi, Hayden. There's a lot of good information all over the place, but what's worked for me in the past was getting involved in a good but inexpensive affiliate marketing coaching course. That way you get all the skills at one time...preferably in some focused fashion.

    Hi Hayden, you're in a good place to learn IM put it that way! if you have $37 to hand then you may want to consider joining the "war room" as that could give you a real boost in your efforts to learn, otherwise you can still learn some great stuff for free by browsing the marketing forum. Good luck.
