Tired Of Countless Offers

9 replies
I have been doing internet marketing for over 3 years. I am always getting email offers offering a product that says how to make 100,000 the first month and the like. I have made some money online. So I know there is money to be made. Here are some of my thoughts.
1. We need short term goals. For me a short term goal may be $10.a day. Then once you achieve that goal set another goal of say $30. a day.'
Then is where my thinking is now. I have not achieved the $10. a day yet. So that is where I will stay.
I have purchased well over $2000 in products and software. So i think i need to change my strategy and regroup. Anyone know where I am at.
Thanks and God Bless

    Hi there, I agree with you that you should set one goal - achieve it and then increase that goal. The key difference though between being an internet marketer and being a freelancer for example is that you need to be focused on doing something once that will continue to pay for a long time. PotPieGirl had a good post on that today (I will try and find you the link) and I think this is the ultimate goal of any IM. You could make $10 today by signing up at Fiverr or writing some articles and blog posts, but those things will only pay you once and you are still basically working for someone else.

    If you can give an indication of the things you are trying, I might be able to help further with a couple of new ideas.

    Best wishes

      For one thing, stop buying products and software for now -- that $2k you spent represents almost 7 months of $10 days. Between the stuff you've bought and all the free info on this forum, you've most likely got more than enough information to move forward.

        If you have been at it 3 years, spent $2,000 on marketing education and haven't even reached $10/day I think you need to seriously rethink your strategy for making money online.

        Either that, or there is a specific problem somewhere which is holding you back which you need to identify.

        It could be traffic, conversion or you may be in the wrong market. Or many other things but you need to have a serious rethink.

    You might earn more than $10 a day on fiverr but that is not internet marketing. It is a job in which you swap time for money.

    Forget fiverr.com as a suggestion. What you want is to earn £$10 a day from setting something up once. Then either ramp that up by doing the same thing again, or look at another way of generating passive income.

    $10 a day on Fiverr could be a fortune in some countries, but in the UK it is too much like hard work.

    I thank you all for the advice so far. I think my main problem is I am trying to many things at once. I need to do one blog at a time Etc Not several. So far the best I think I am leaning to Cpa offers.

      One thing I would recommend: focus.

      I am guilty of not keeping focused on projects. As a result I end up starting multiple projects and end up with nothing. When I started narrowing down my focus on just a handful of projects I started to see better results.

      I have yet to spend even $1k on product because if you look hard enough you will find bits and pieces of information here and on other Internet marketing web sites. If you're crafty enough, you can piece the info together and figure out how some marketers are becoming successful and what techniques they may be using.

      Pick a focus, a particular niche that you're interested in, and do a lot of research as to what's missing in that niche and what you can do better. Try out some simple techniques that you can readily find available for free or at a very low cost. Be creative and make up some of the processes and systems. Through trial and error you'll be able to save money and create a system that works.

      Don't get me wrong -- there are great products out there that are worth the investment. But if you're starting out and you have limited funds you need to be creative with how you go about building a profitable money making system.

      I wrote and published an 8,000+ word book in 24 hours.
      If I can do that, imagine what you could do.

        Hi,

        i have been in the same situation... Did not focus on a handful projects, did too much things at the same time... and so on.

        One problem for me was, that I had no money to survive so I focused on short-term projects. I could not wait 1 or 2 months for getting my money.

        But then I made a cut and concentrated on one product until I reached 50$/day.

        My advice: Read "The 4-Hours Workweek" by Timothy Ferris. This could help you to reorganize yourself.

          So much great feedback here. I really thank you for it. The more i think i realize what some of the things I have done wrong. Instead of focusing on 2-3 niches I have been doing 10-15 niches and this has not proven to be effective.
          Some of the software I have purchased has been the following.
          Word press Mage
          Utility Poster
          Utility Video Poster
          And there are countless others. I am going to regroup and start fresh tomorrow. Again thanks so much for the feedback.

    Here's a suggestion: If you have spent 2k on products you will have acquired a LOT of knowledge, why not create and market your own info product from all you have learned?
