My life & the possibility of a IM Career???

It will take time.Plenty of time.

Continue to read the forum so you can keep learning the terminology.Ask questions and not just read because you wont learn by only reading.
When you find something that you understand you can then start to implement.This is how you actually do learn and learn quick.By actually doing.

good luck

Yes it's very possible for you. Internet Marketing is one field where not having a solid education won't break you. Although if you don't already, please get ANY job for now, it'll help you trust me.



Yes it is, but it won't happen quickly. This will be the hardest goal you do in you life. You'll need a lot of time, a lot of hard work and plenty of patience. In fact you will probably fail multiple times before you work it all out...that is if you ever do.


Read read read the forum as much as you can, even the older posts. You'll soon know everything you need to know without buying much of anything. If you read the same thing over and over, that's usually because it's true so take note!


You first need to get your mind right before learning the technical stuff. You need to tackle this a longterm goal thats going to take a lot of sacrifice, time and effort.


Wherever the money is. After doing keyword research (do a search)I'd look to creating a blog using wordpress.org and start writing content. You can then submit your articles to ezinearticles.com after you submit them to your website first. This is not the fastest way to earn a living but will set you off on the right foot.


You'll need $10 for a domain name and less than $10 a month for website hosting. If you go the free route, it'll cost you a lot of your time though.

All in all once you feel you have read and learn enough do the following:

1. Make sure you target a niche that has interest and buyers
2. Aim to get targeted traffic (writing articles is one way of doing this)
3. Work on your site everyday and give things a couple of months to make any money at all.
4. If you have a site that is making even a small amount, KEEP AT IT! Don't go onto a new shiny idea.

Good luck.

After reading your post, I would suggest you to sell your services to start off. You have written a good post so why not start off by writing articles ?

Join Odesk.com, Freelancer.com ( for free ).

Start bidding on article writing services.

It might be difficult to get the first job since there is too much competition out there, but surely you will get results soon.

And once you get your first job, you can then keep on building your portfolio there. Your confidence will also get a boost. It is a great feeling when you start something new and get paid the first time ! So you can spend around 3-4 hours on this everyday, and then invest the rest of the day and money on IM.

Good Luck..

Dude. Im feeling about the same as you, Im 18 but i think that selling services on odesk and writing services will get you burnt out and cause you to think a little negatively about Internet Marketing. You will learn all the terminology as time goes on.

I would suggest that first you get into adsense, and play around with keyword research. Dont buy any domains until you think youve really got a winner. (only buy exact match domains to start) and also always do a google search for the latest godaddy.com discount codes (they are always out there) and you will get your domains for 7.50 rather than 10.

Ask questions on the forum about ways to get sites ranked and specific problems that you run into. Keyword research is key and also takes a lot of time, so personally i suggest to only focus on that. (article writing services can be HIGHLY undervalued and you will be working for next to nothing((plus writing all the time gets extremely boring, trust me i started a Google News site and that was hel*)))

I would suggest getting a simple job washing dishes or busing tables so that you have a lot of time to yourself to scheme as well as truly realize how much of a dream come true internet marketing can be.
It can be an outlet for everyone. You just have to learn your methods that you would like to take..

I think that keeping your motivation up is very important, as well as your confidence in yourself. Dont EVER UNDERVALUE or UNDERSELL yourself EVER.

Just as you would in any sport or anything that you have ever succeded in you must keep up the motivation and always keep on top of your game. As well as be willing to adapt because the market is always changing.

P.S the temp job is good to cover investments, as well as to teach you lessons about how people handle themselves, talk to people, and be professional

P.S.S - a good thing to do as extra work is find simple things that you could do on fiverr.com ( i put my girlfriend onto that and she takes pictures with signs for $5 a pop haha) so if you can/enjoy editing photos that is always a good route, also selling advice on fiver is a simple way to make money, people even go as far as relationship advice services, you can really get creative, but no matter what stay simple

P.S.S.S. if you need any help feel free to p.m me or atleast i hope i helped you with this rediculously long post

also just a few important tools

SEO - search engine optimazation
IM - internet marketing
GAKT - Google Adwords Keyword Tool (search for it in google and get familiar with it)
WSO - warrior special offer
SERPS - Search Engine Results Page

If what you currently need is some quick cash, you really can't go wrong with providing services like article writing, graphics/banners, etc. - anything that you feel you can comfortably do.

However, what I would do is limit my time doing this to a maximum of 3-4 hours per day, and use the rest of the day to learn about and implement IM. There are many paths you can take here, and quite possibly the best investment you can make in your IM education would be to join the War Room here.

You'll have an abundance of material to refer to and learn from - this will be more than sufficient to get you started. What I'd suggest is splitting your time equally between learning and implementing, after you've decided on a course of action.

Stick to it, and only implement one method/system at a time, especially since you're a newbie. You'll likely get confused and frustrated along the way, which is perfectly natural. Stay the course and don't waver, because if you do this consistently and really focus on implementation, you should start seeing some results within a couple of weeks. Remember that the IM services you offer are just to provide you with some income for the time being, and also give you the means to purchase some required IM resources, tools and possibly software along the way.

Sorry Alexa I figured the .com and .org were the same thing.

Of course it is possible no matter where you come from! Look at most CEOs... IN any case find a GOOD coach/mentor and run with it.

I definitely think that you could make some money here. I am very young myself but am not going to disclose my age. I started out by just reading a lot about how to do it for free on various forums. I then paid some money for a domain name and started a successful site. Now I like to flip domains. The path I started was different from where I am now however it will all work out for you man.

ANYONE can success in the internet marketing. All you need to do is put some WORK. If you are not afraid of spending time (I'm not saying "some time" or "one hr/day" like gurus do) to move towards goal - making money online, then you can succeed.

My advices here are simple. Be honest and work hard, and you will start seeing results. Don't try to make money quickly, because easy come easy go...

I'm not selling anything here, but I believe that you should start here:

Bum Marketing Method - Free Traffic Tips

Travis Sago is one of the most honest and successful internet marketing gurus out there. If you are willing to learn he will teach you a lot! Like 90% of his content comes for free also (this course I've linked is 100% free).

Also my other advice: don't buy im products, until you are actually making money online (the truth is, there is no magic formula that most products promises).

Hope that helps.

Maybe I am a cruel, mean old guy... I just cannot feel any em/sympathy for posters like this. Sorry.

Yeah, sure... blame the hard childhood for everything.
Went to highschool in a country where I was an ethnic/linguistic minority. Was picked on, the whole system was racist and discriminatory + oppressive.
However, finished high school and became perfectly bilingual... and instead of feeling sorry for myself, I considered myself superior because unlike my oppressors I could speak (write, read) in two languages, I was familiar with two cultures.
At that time we didn't know what social anxiety and other stuff like that was and, most importantly, there were no computers and video games. Instead we worked and learned. A lot.

What you need is a big kick in the a**...
Yes, go and flip burgers if you are tired of living off your parents. Yes, go and dig ditches if you want a real-life experience. Yes, stop feeling sorry for yourself and go get a real life job.

Don't like burger flipping? Then make an effort to learn more and to master something that would allow you to get upper and upper on the ladder.

It is OK not liking school. It is NOT OK not liking to learn!
You don't understand the IM lingo? Neither did I when started.
Useful tools: search engines, wikipedia, freely available IM dictionaries.
However, the difference between you and successful internet marketers is they didn't post about their hard childhood, they just went out there, searched and found the right info, absorbed it and took action.

P.S. After what I have seen and experienced under one of the worst dictatorship of the 20th century; and after what I have seen as a humanitarian worker in war torn countries - no, I am not easily impressed by anybody's "life story". Sorry.

Man do nothing. First read a lot and try and explore.

Thanks

dont think you can make $4000 a day by coming here and asking.

Start off small, go to the warrior forum for hire section, post what you can do, spend a little to bump your ad, and then get some money togother. Once you do that, spend money on domain and hosting and get your business going. Build a list, and spend time nurturing that list. I sweat if you do that it will pay off BIG TIME

but like i said start off small, like we all had too. Then get a biz, and grow it as big as you can.

Well I would suggest that you try out affiliate marketing first before you venture into more adventurous marketing such as product creation and so as it really doesn't cost much to start affiliate marketing. Good luck!

keep on pushing man
