"Walk with integrity"

Hi lynng,

You'll get more useful answers if you tell us what you've tried so far and what your level of experience is. Do you have a website or product yet?
.

What you can do is do more research on the free information such as this forum. Whatever you do, don't buy anything unless you are sure that is what you need

Hi,

I would personally recommend Chris Farrell's chrisfarrellmembership dot com. I am an actual affiliate for the site, but would not post such a link here in the forum out of respect. He teaches people how to do affiliate marketing. Very newbie friendly. He has a clear, easy to follow teaching style. I love the fact that he emphasizes building a relationship based on value with your prospects/customers and not view them as cash machines. Great content is added on an ongoing basis. I have been a member for awhile now, so I speak from experience with the site. It is a paid membership $37 a month right now, but there is plenty of stuff on the site you can look at for free, so look around and don't buy into it right away & see what you think. You can also look the site's ratings up on IMReportCard as there are many reviews, almost all positive. Hey, you asked for mentors/programs, so I am recommending the person I consider a mentor and a site I know.

Whatever direction you end up going in, I wish you the best of luck!

You need to focus on the fundamentals in my opinion. Find a product to promote, set up your site about it, drive traffic to it (ideally targeted traffic through google).

Of course, this sounds too easy and most people will not use it, but that is a base of building any online business.
Sent you a pm.

Okay, number one.

STOP SPENDING MONEY

Number two, take one of those "empty promises" products you spent your money on, and just do it.

The single biggest problem most newbies have is that they buy a product, and they read through it, and they say "well I don't believe that will work."

So they don't do it. They go buy another product instead. And they read through that one, and they say "well I don't really want to do that."

So they don't do it. They go buy another product instead. And they read through that one, and they say "well that seems like it would take a long time."

So they don't do it. They go buy another product instead.

STOP MAKING EXCUSES

Just pick one. Chances are just about every product you've bought with "empty" promises will make you money. Most of the systems out there work.

But you have to do it.

You have to stop saying "well, I don't want to" and just step the hell up and do it. And keep doing it. And if you get discouraged, or bored, or tired, you stiffen your upper lip and sit up straight in your chair and keep doing it.

And in ninety days, you get to decide whether that product was full of empty promises.

Right now, on your hard drive, you have got a product that will make you a whole HELL of a lot more money than you spent on it. And the only reason it hasn't is that you have not gotten your butt in the damn chair and done what it told you to do.

The main issue many newbies have with IM is spending far too much time studying and contemplating/comparing systems and courses, and far too little time actually implementing them.

Here's a simple, actionable tip you should follow right away which should start putting you on the right path toward success in IM. For every hour that you spend studying a method or system, make sure that you spend at least an hour implementing it. Take stock of how you presently use your time - is it any wonder that you're not making any money, especially when you're continually perusing courses but not implementing them?

I have to agree with CDarklock. One of the biggest obstacles is getting overwhelmed and deciding to buy another product instead of focusing on one thing and just doing the work. In spite of what some people have said about IM, there IS some work that needs to be done.

Focus on one business model for a while and, if you actually do the work, most likely you WILL make money.

Sit down and think through exactly what it is you want to get out of your business.

Write down all the things you can in a 15 minute period.

Then start prioritizing the list.

Focus on the areas that will get you closer to these goals and lifestyle. It really helps to know what it is you want and makes it much easier to gadge if what you are doing will work for you or not.

Choose the areas like affiliate marketing, free lancing your skills, developing and promoting your own products and pick the one that fits in line with what you want to get most. Time? some of these will take up much more of your time so if having free time and spending it with your family, taking vacations etc... developing a service based business may not be what you should focus on.

Those are examples and suggestions, feel free to take what works for you and ignore what doesn't.
