Newbie seeks recommendations

Like Giani, my online income is from three areas:

1. My own products, specifically books I've written and published through CreateSpace.com. The books are (almost automatically) sold through Amazon.com, and I also offer digital downloads related to them.

2. Amazon and other affiliate programs. I write about things that interest me, and link to them with affiliate links. The seasonal products -- especially related to summer BBQs, Halloween, and Christmas -- seem to do especially well for a month or so, each year.

3. AdSense ads on some of my webpages. (I'm careful not to look too ad-heavy or commercial, since my books and affiliate reviews must be taken seriously.)

As a newbie, it's important not to spread yourself too thin... but also don't put all your eggs in one basket. I know that sound contradictory, but it really is best to focus on one income-producing method at a time, and then add one or two more income streams (maximum), gradually.

That way, if something goes awry with one income source, you always have one or two others to keep you afloat while you fill in gaps created by the third.

Personally, I like (and recommend) products by Kevin Riley and Jason Fladlien, and a few others in that category. (Meaning: Good for newbies, and very affordable products.) Also: Phil Henderson, Jim Edwards, Pot Pie Girl, Lee McIntyre, Phil Murray... this list could go on & on, and I'm sure I'm leaving amazingly important people out. (Sorry!)

I think you can download something like 32 free reports at Jason Fladlien's website. His humor is quirky and his information -- especially about writing articles and creating products -- is difficult to beat.

Kevin Riley has a new WSO that I've just purchased but haven't looked at yet. I'm sure it's excellent, and he generally writes for newbies. Everything I've bought from him in the past has been so good, I almost feel like I should have paid more than I did... so I keep buying everything he offers! :rolleyes:

Once you're more experienced, keep an eye on offers from Leonard Payne. Right now, he has a sleeper of a product that's more an offline career than anything fully online... but it's good.

Also for intermediates+, when Oz offers anything, it'll be controversial but I like him. He's like Leonard Payne: Super bright and able to connect-the-dots in ways others won't see for another year or so.

Same for Dan Brock, but I think you need to put in plenty of extra work to get the most from his products. (Oh, he over-delivers, big time, but sometimes the biggest benefits of his products are easy to overlook as he flies past the topic in his videos, forums, etc. Listen to him very carefully, dig deeper and you'll be amply rewarded.)

Also, I like anything from the Rhodes brothers, and Mike Heath's three latest products have been good, and... gosh, this list could go on & on, but they're more for intermediate-to-advanced marketers.

I hope that's helpful!

Hi veracity,

Great to see that you are seeking for people's opinions about making money online.

To cut the story short. I started online creating site with incomes from adsense, clickbank product and amazon products. At first, it was not converting well. After doing some research and using some paid keyword research tool, I managed to have a good conversion for the sites I am working on. It took a bit of sheer work and effort to keep it moving, and I believe you can do it with your determination.

After that, I have moved on to flip some of the sites for some profits.

And currently now, I have moved to creating my own set of products line to sell to my own list and the conversion is fine.

My suggestion is to start small, means one site first. You would require to test and keeps on testing till you are successful in one area before expanding from there.

Hope it helps.
