Is it possible for me to make money online?

I live in Islamabad, Pakistan.

Trying to make money since 2008 but still no money at all.

got banned by adsense 2 times.

I have no money to buy IM courses.

all I got in this time, $2 from a PTC site.

Tried Youtube marketing, no success!

Facebook marketing but no success.

Twitter marketing but no success.

I know just a bit of English.

Is it still possible for me to make money online?

    Yes. but it sounds like you should be targeting your local market and language.

        Sorry for a quick re-post, we were typing at the same time Alexa...

        Yes, but if he's struggling with English, etc. perhaps focusing on his native tongue and area would help him get a toe-hold on the world, eh?

      The toughest challenge you will face is that you cannot use Paypal to collect money, because Paypal refuses to serve clients in Pakistan...

    It is 100% possible to make money anywhere around the world. Paypal is one of the issues, but it can be solved by using other services.

    The key to make a living on IM is to be consistent on one area. Once you are getting solid income from this area and then you can explore others. Multi-tasking is NO good for newbies.

    I hope this helps.

    Nobody can show you the area -- there are thousands of ways to make money, but not all will work for you.

    Sit down and make a list of what you have: skills, interests, resources, training courses, etc. Then look for common threads.

      Absolutely.

      You're missing one thing so far...

      FOCUS.

      Stop bouncing from idea to idea.

      If you've been banned from Adsense, chances are it's because you were doing things against their Terms of Service - i.e., black hat stuff.

      Consider what you like/know.

      Evaluate the group of people you could most connect with. (probably people like you)

      Find their problems.

      Find SIMPLE solutions to their problems (research them if you don't know!)

      Gather, prepare and present those SOLUTIONS to them in their native format, language and style.

      The technical side of money collection (since you can't do paypal, etc) can all be worked out.

      All success,

      Gary

          You're welcome.

          Now, stop buying stuff one after another. Seriously.

          If it makes you feel any better, there are thousands of people with 50 courses on their hard disk. lol

          I'm not sure what you're asking regarding Facebook working with Clickbank.

          I CAN tell you that a quick search on Clickbank for the term Facebook resulted in 57 products, each of which you can promote as an affiliate. I'm sure there are others out there that aren't on Clickbank.

          If you have an interest there, perhaps you could create your own product about Facebook - there are millions of Facebook users - find a common problem they have - if you don't know where to start, ask your friends/relatives that use Facebook what their biggest complaint is.

          Do a little searching on the Internet to see if others have that same complaint and find a solution for it - ebook, video series, software, etc. - create that solution and you've got a winner.

          All that said, if you do nothing else, take whatever it was that Suzanne (sbucciarel) sent you via PM and devour it.

          She wouldn't send you something that wouldn't help.

          All success,

          Gary

    Also attempt to find someone else from your country that is making money online and see the path they took, having a mentor (or guide) from your country may help you to get some good breakthroughs!

    I agree with what was said about marketing to your own country and culture. I say this for a few reasons, one being your admitted lack of English, which appears better than you give yourself credit for anyway. Selling a product written in English, targeted at Americans by a guy in Pakistan who hasn't been to the states just seems like a bad idea. I would not try to write a guide on building a marketplace store front in Pakistan, because I have zero idea about it. Judging by the amount of folks from that region on the forum, I would have to imagine there are many people there interested in the MMO niche.

      What i can sell to Pakistani people they don't have enough money to buy guides and ebooks online or memberships. I think IM is only for people living in developed countries.

    I have spoken to alot of people from foreign countries.

    I find they usually have to go thru alert or some special debit card.
    There is many ways you can earn online. Either by internet marketing, ptc, but you have do research on these, to find the honest ones. Im not so sure as of surveys as majority I have seen is only available in us. Also you can earn as network marketer, these takes determination and perseverance, I would however suggest you find a mentor for these to learn and be trained. Another way that you can earn a little is on websites. These however are very time consuming.

    You should find one good marketing method and use it to drive a bunch of traffic to your website. I know how you feel when you say you been doing this since 2008 and only $2 so far. I've been myself, and i know how you feel. Use article marketing - it's a great way to get traffic fast - then just keep doing it over and over again.

      Can I make a suggestion? Forget about twitter marketing - youtube marketing and the like. Strip things down to bare bones and start earning some passive income through affiliate marketing.

      Since you have limited funds I would set up a wordpress blog and have it hosted on your own domain name.

      I would think of what product you want to promote. I would not touch internet marketing if I were in your position. Clickbank has loads of digital products to promote in non IM areas.

      I have had success promoting water filters and online education. These pay more and you don't have a refund issue.

      After you have chosen a product to promote here comes the grunt work.

      1. Keyword research

      2. Write at least 1 unique 400-500 article a day for your blog around a keyword. Making sure of course you sprinkle your affiliate links throughout your article

      3. Write around 3 unique articles a day (which links back to your blog) and submit them to the usual article directories and free web 2.0 properties like Hubpages, Wikispaces, Wikiboy etc.

      I guarantee if you do this consistently day in day out - you'll make money especially in either of the 2 markets I told you about. As long as your articles are well researched - you are on your way.

      Now here is a caveat - you may not be rolling in cash within a month but with consistent effort - you could make couple hundred a month.

      I just feel in your position - you have to drown out the noise. If you don't - you lose focus and it costs you money chasing the next big thing.

      I know I

        Sounds like you are suffering from a case of info overload, I have to admit that I suffer from and will no doubt continue to suffer from the next big idea syndrome.

        My advice would be to concentrate on one idea and master it well, on average any action you make in your business now you will not see any benefit until a few months down the line (personal experience). So you need to keep consistent.

        I would wish you good luck but its not luck you need its hard work and dedication, so crack on.
