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

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! ;-)
