I seriously need help... anyone?

Brief background: I found an article months ago about how to make my first sale as an affiliate. It actually worked! But the strategy was not designed to make you much more than that. And I quickly got discouraged. I dropped IM altogether.

Now, months later, I want to get back into IM but be more serious about it... I'm looking for an article or a blog or a course, anything that works and will tell me exactly what to do to build a profitable business online.

Any advice?

I want to make more than that 1st sale. I want to be earning 4000$/month to start with.

That's the problem with aiming low(your first sale)... you'll get there but then you won't know what to do next!

    When anyone on WF asks this question they are usually directed to THE CHALLENGE which is a free course leading you by the hand through all the steps to setting up an internet business, rather than a few quick bucks here and there.

    However, I do think that you should set your sights on a slightly smaller goal than $4000 month.

    Begin with $100 a week, then when you have achieved that for a few weeks, reset your goal to a higher amount. Always set yourself up to achieve your goals i.e. set smaller goals.

    The reason people say to start small is because it takes a long time to get results.

    You learned to make your first sale. From there you need to take what you learned and scale it up. Figure out how to use that experience to make more sales. As you make more sales, figure out how to automate more of the process.

      Hi co-creator. I think you should find someone who is already succesful at what you want to be doing, and model them. Model exactly what they do, and you'll get their results.

      Now this is easy to say, as there is no guarantee that you will find such a person, nor that this person is going to be willing to share the information with you.

      However, be persistant, do what it takes. Offer something in return. I'm sure you'll get there

      Kind Regards,
      Zannix

    Take what has worked for you and repeat it multiple times (or outsource it at fiverr for 5 bucks ).
    For example, if you made 1 sale through an article, then how much more sales could you make with multiple articles? Do the math..

      All the above answers are correct but I'll still ad my bit. The trick is mindset, well it is for me anyway. Find out what works and do it repeatedly. And be prepared to do boring tasks consistently.

      Some tasks I find not boring and some I find to be boring. Everybody's different though. Just do it and continue to do it. If it worked once it'll work again.

      Being outlandish and a magpie at the same time is difficult, but I try.

    Never give up! The more you fail the more you learn! I was trying to figure out how to do things for 3 years to finally realize that you need a successful mentor to guide you. And then suddenly everything starts making sense. It is not easy but it worth the effort at the end! Biggest mistake is trying to make money straight away. There is a process and you have to be patient if you want to succeed. Finally stick with mastering one thing at a time instead of trying to do everything at once.
