What's A Newbie To Do?

When I started out, I tried affiliate marketing with not much success. I admit in hindsight I didn't really have a clue what I was doing. Instead I focused on creating my own products and while I'm not rich from it, it brings in steady amounts each month.

If you have in-depth knowledge on a particular area (It can be anything at all) which other people need, then you could easily create your own information product and promote and sell it.

Sure there is a learning curve in anything you do, and you will need a website with hosting, but its YOUR own baby that you can nurture and grow. Check out my signature link for a free guide on how to do it.

good luck!

Yes you said it and your absolutely correct. The answer is FOCUS!!

Just pick one and go, focus on it hard ,milk it to the last drop,

They all make money ....but you can't be all over the place

I think if you want to be "off the radar" and not have to worry about pushing yourself online, then creating niche websites that sell products or have advertising is the way to go.

If you don't mind being in the public eye, then do the product creation thing, etc...

I think quite a few of us have been in the same boat. Learn so much, even make a little bank, yet struggle to find any consistency.

What I have been doing lately is simply returning to my roots and working with things that have worked decently in the past.

I have done pretty well with article marketing, so I am building two new sites to focus on that form of marketing. Both are niches that I have an extreme interest in, so these will be fun to do (might as well get paid for the things I like.)

I have learned a lot about Kindle publishing and have been toying around with it a lot. Considering it is pretty simple to do, I try to get a few new books up for sale every week. I have even started a product on creating products to sell, but the recent onslaught of Kindle WSOs has me in awe. Hard to put up something competitive with them around, rather just promote them... they do it better. This is one area that I am probably going to start outsourcing pretty soon, at least the formatting.

My PLR sales are still pretty steady. I haven't released a new pack in a while.. which is stupid because I have one that just needs to be proofed and is otherwise ready (from my wife, she is usually pretty thorough.) I have another pack about half done, and am 5 articles away from a OTO to rapid build my PLR list. I really need to make the list my priority here, but I am not upset with the progress at all.

Ghostwriting has been slow, but my primary concern was having a way for my wife to make a supporting income. It works for that pretty well. The hope was to be able to afford a car payment, and it can do that without any further marketing... so mission complete.

The last couple of months has been a loss, but the last week I have really started to get some traction. The big thing that has been helping me with motivation is getting back into shape. Simple exercise is allowing me to sleep much easier, which makes my few hours I have to work a lot more productive.

My next steps are to start cutting the time loss fat (including time on this forum) and start hammering things hard. I have a decent idea where my problems are... so it is a matter of fixing them.

The best advice I could give a newbie is stop jumping from one product to another. Pick a business model you want to run with.

Let me give you an example. If you want to be an affiliate, than decide what selling route you want to take, (SEO, PPC, Media Buying,) etc. Once you decide what route you want to take, than stick with only one until you master it. So let's say you decided to sell products as an affiliate through facebook. Master facebook until you turn blue in the face. Don't jump to another source of traffic until you master it..this is important.

The problem most individuals have is they move from one source to another and never end up making money. Just concentrate on one thing and don't steer away from it until you do make money from it.

Actually, Resell Rights Products are the easiest way to make money online for all newbies and also talented IM or even gurus.

As you know, you don't need to create your own product, sales page, sales graphics by yourself at all. You just invest in some good products that come with master resell rights or private label rights. Then you can instantly upload to your host and ready to sell. Just promote your site properly you will get results very soon.
