Hi Gurus,

I have recently got into internet marketing.

I have spent 2 sleepless weeks to get some basic skills such as domain hosting, paypal, clickbank, wordpress setup and so on.

And now not sure what to do?? what was the first thing you did when you had first started out.

Thanks in advance for sharing.

    I think you should seamlessly create huge lists of targeted buyers!

    Then market to them!

    If you are not sure how, the link is in your signature.. I'd check that out.

    Before you begin any online business, you need to ask yourself what do you want to achieve.

    Make quick bucks or really build an online business.

    Cos these two require different ways of approach.

    Building an online business is for long term and it require an amount of work, but the good thing about it is you can make it auto pilot in the long run, unlike making quick bucks.

    All the skills and techniques are secondary. Primary issue is to discover what you want.

    Hope this helps.

    The biggest mistake I made when I started out was jumping right in without any concrete idea of what I wanted to achieve and a plan of action to achieve it. The result was information overload and failure.

    You got to know what you want to do and what you want to achieve. Many of us get into IM to make money and quit our jobs, and there are various ways to make money in IM, so you got to figure out WHICH way will work best for you in your current circumstances.

    I of the biggest mistakes I made when I got started was not staying with one thing long enough. Every time something new came alone I would jump at it. Whatever you do find something you like and that is doing well and then stick with it and keep plugging away at it.

    Granted if it doesn't go anyplace in a certain amount of time then seek help and see if it's the product or the way your presenting it.

    Thank you so much.

    I should definately set my goals first rather than going out and buying websites.

    I have bought Autoblog Samurai too!!

      ftfadia, I think what a lot of people are trying to tell you in this thread, the "How to get 1,000,000 subscribers" thread and the "How to make 10k by Christmas" thread is your signature file has the solution.

      Now, why would anyone actually click on that link when you clearly don't actually know how to do it and have just started in this game. If it's not your site...well then it's telling me it hasn't worked for you.

          That doesn't even make sense - if you have read the signature rules.

            It might if he's just being paid to post for the links/sig exposure.

    you don't have to push yourself like that just take things slowly and easy. Spend time to enjoy what you have done. It seems like you are just forced to learn something.

        Simply make a dispute over the paypal they will help you.

        Advise:If you are beginner don't buy any softwares until you make some money out of it. There are lot of free apps available.

        Start with google adwords
        Learn wordpress
        Read a lot

        Start from the least amount and read thread and posts and find a unique way.

    You done some basics by learning some skills. Now comes the hard part. We can't really tell you what to do. You need to read the forum and discover what areas of marketing you are interested in, whether it be site flipping, PPC, affiliate products, creating your own product ... whatever. There's so much to choose from and only you can pick.

    Once you've chosen, you need all the info you can get on that method to help make you successful at it. Make your plan and implement it.
