Newbies! A little success: Made my first commissions of $106 after one month's work...

So, a little background...

I'm a "newbie" of sorts and I've been lurking around the internet marketing scene for quite a while now and never made any money.

I've bought tons of ebooks (no surprise) on different strategies but never really took any real sustained action. So, late last year I got fed up and decided that I had had enough and that I would stop this nonsense of looking for a magic bullet and get to work.

I basically went through all the ebooks I had and picked out simple ideas I felt I could implement given my lack of knowledge, technical and sales, and ultimately singled out 3 strategies I could work with.

I finally chose "one" strategy I felt I could do and went from there. I chose "one" market, chose "one" product and off I went!

I implemented and applied that one thing for one full month and made 4 affiliate commissions at $25 and one additional back-end commission of $6 for a total of $106.

Those were my first commissions online ever and I received my first affiliate check ever too!

Good stuff!

A note to other struggling newbies. You have everything you need to make those first commissions (as an affiliate) or sales (if you're selling your own product). You have all the knowledge you need in all the ebooks you've already purchased.

You just need to take action on those ideas, focus on ONE thing at a time and take it from there and you will get a result if you do it until you get the result you want.

So skip buying the next ebook you've been eyeing.

Go back to what you've already purchased and single out some simple ideas you think you can implement and that you'll focus on for the next month. If you're committed to making this work, decide that for the next month you'll focus and make the effort!

Then... choose your market. Choose your product. Get your affiliate link. Choose one method you'll use to market it and sell it and focus on that for ONE full month and see the results. You need to give yourself at least one month of effort to validate to yourself that you can do this! But make sure you focus your effort on one market, with one product and one method for selling!

Go out there and do it!

If I can do it, so can you!

To your first success!

P.S. Earlier this year, I took what I learned from FOCUSING and TAKING ACTION for ONE month on one market, one, product and one method that I brokered my first JV and made $248 after 3 weeks of effort.

Here's proof of the payment I received:

I whited out the name of the guy that paid me.
NOTE: If you put effort in one side, you'll get a result out the other side. But you have to FOCUS and take action for a sustained period of time.

Just do it! ;-)

    Hi Tuli
    That is great news couldn't be happier for you. It is a great feeling to see that first dollar. It is true what you have said here - pick one strategy and stick to it. There are to many distractions out there, but this is advice that you have proven works.

      Thanks Sue!

      No problem Marth22. Glad to be of help.

      Kinwall. You're right. I lost my focus after making that happen and started to relax. Couldn't agree more. Need to scale it and make better results now. Time to get back to work!

      Icun! Congrats to you as well!

    rekid,

    Good job! At some point we all have to take action to make progress. You may fail at first but that is part of the learning curve. The idea is to fail fast so that you can move on to the next approach that hopefully will yield results.

      Well done I bet you feel that you can sell anything now that you have mastered the secret of online marketing. It really needs focus and consistency instead of buying every new product that comes your way. Nothing comes easy as we are made to believe. Congradulations.

    Nice job Tuli!

    Great advice too!

    I just talked to a guy the other day that asked me what he should do with the almost 50 domain names he has purchased!

    I told him, first of all, forget about 49 of those domain names for now, and concentrate on 1 of them!

    People have so many "great ideas" but none of them are worth anything, unless you actually DO something to get the ball rolling! Then once you get the ball rolling, keep DOING something until you make atleast some money (like you have done)! Then once you have made some money, keep DOING something until you have reached your ultimate goals! Then once you have reached your ultimate goals, reevaluate your goals, then DO something to reach the reevaluated goals!

    All of the knowledge in the world won't do you a bit of good, unless you actually implement that knowledge, and take ACTION!

    Thank you Tuli, and good luck in the future!

    Congrats to your success!

    I had the same experience, you can read forever with no results. Once you start working the results will come as well. Thanks for sharing

    Awesome, well done mate.

    There is definately something to be said about applying concentrated effort into your actions.

    Good advice, and one i've only recently started applying myself.

      Great post Rekid,

      I can totally relate to your situation as i've bought numerous ebooks and courses in the past but never put any of them into action!

      I'm yet to make any money online but your story is an inspiration to a fellow newbie like me as it shows that once you take action you really can make it work.

      I hope to be posting in the near future telling you about my first commission as I'm taking your advice and focusing on one thing at a time!

      Cheers my friend and congratulations!

      Sam
