Need honest and educated answers!

Of course you don't - you are just getting started. Educcated answers from people making money will all be the same. They will tell you to start at the beginning and do enough reading/learning/research to know what paths are available and to choose how YOU plan to work online.

I would say a great idea would be to join the War Room (one time $37 fee) - stay out of the WSO section for right now.

Download and read Private Posts and other posts by Allen (Admin-owner of the forum). Look up the "30 day challenge" online (I think it's still free) and go through that training.

You can't succeed over the long term if you try to start in the middle and I think you realize that. If you are willing to put in the time and learn the basics first you'll get lots of help on this forum - and your time frame may be possible. You need to "get" the big picture and then you can develop your own plan to build a business.

Good luck. There are no easy buttons and no big secrets - so don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Good news is none of this IM stuff is very hard. You only need to learn and apply the basic processes that others are using and you'll be fine.

A. If you're anywhere near BC, Vancouver: There are lots of software development and ICT corporations,
companies, businesses and home businesses there that require offshore ICT and online marketing manpower resources,
due to lacking mainland resources...

You can offer them a solution to their needs and problems, as a headhunting firm,
focused on tapping offshore and mainland ICT manpower resources...

B. My 2011 global market research, taken from prominent global media sources of relevant and
updated research data and commentary analysis, points out these things:

1. Tourism and travel will have a 72% net valuation increase this year and 2 years beyond.
2. Number 1 above is primarily due to the internationalization of the business industry because of
ICT (Information and Communications Technology) and healthcare improvements in developing countries.

3. The 2nd reason for numbers 1 and 2 includes the baby boomers/seniors.
4. Numbers 1, 2 and 3 point out that health care, particularly health care employment and business opportunities for
both service providers and product manufacturers, will be big, especially senior-slanted products,
like accessibility tools.

5. The construction industry will also have a net valuation increase this year. The boomers/seniors and
their families will redesign their homes for optimal accessibility.

6. Businesses will hire more people above the age of 50.
7. 90% of 50ish year olds will decide to stay working 9 to 11 more years.
8. Number 7 will cause business owners to redevelop their offices and equipment for optimal accessibility.

9. Numbers 2 and others above point out that green power, not because of the environment,
but rather the cost cutting benefit it can provide business owners, will be profitable.

So, we have these niches:

1. Tourism and Travel
2. Business -- included sub niches: equipment for corporate offices and home offices
3. Technology
4. Outsourcing
5. Senior Market
6. Home Improvement
7. Do It Yourself
8. Health and Wellness Services/Products
9. Healthcare Jobs/Employment
10. Green Power (slanted more towards business cost cutting than environment security)

There will also be a 62% annual net valuation increase in mining valuable minerals, specifically oil, gold,
copper and iron. Don't accurately know how the consumer market will be affected by this,
but my inference is:

If there is a net valuation increase in the mining industry, then that points out an investment
and demand increase in oil, gold, copper and iron...

Since a majority of the global consumer market does not invest in oil, copper and iron and
does not demand wholesale volumes of oil, gold, copper and iron, two things come into mind
in terms of the consumer market:

1. They will invest in gold more this year.
2. There will be home businesses globally where they try to invest in copper and iron via
small recycling stations...

In terms of CPC, CPM and CPA income for your niche websites:
Keep in mind there are specific groups of people, sharing similar needs and problems relevant to each niche,
who are ad clickers, page readers and offer takers, though of course there are groups that aren't
included in any of those...

In terms of commission income from affiliate product sales:
Keep in mind that there are other affiliates selling products and services relevant to the needs
and problems of people interested in various niches, and these products and services are from
corporations, companies, businesses and home businesses that also sell those products and services themselves...

C. You can choose profitable niches and develop products and service packages with additional
benefits not found in competing products and services...

Additional benefits can be added features, reasonable pricing structures, rewards/incentives/bonuses,
promotional marketing concepts, point of sale ideas and so on, all resulting to added value for buyers...

The Challenge

It has given many people a great start.

I did it a few years ago and it got me hooked. My first website made via their methods pays for my hosting costs with adsense revenue. Others have made quite a bit more.

I don't know if the post is still available in the forums, but one member makes a sizable income by using those exact methods, step by step, and selling it as a service to local businesses. You would need to learn to build on that, but it could give you a base to work with.
