First time to the forum. I am brand new to this and looking for advice. I have made money in the past, but due to a failed business venture; I am now "underemployed". Hours are being cut and I just started looking for a way to make extra cash through the internet.

My problem is, I don't know where to start! What is legit and what is a scam? I would appreciate any advice anyone can give me and if I can get a few bucks in my paypal account some way.....I would know that something works!

I work part time in retail sales and part time as a basketball offiicial. I have to work a LOT of games to make a decent living. I am getting older and the legs aren't what they used to be! I really need a way to make some extra cash. I have a background in real estate, sales, and retail.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

    Welcome into the forum.

    If you are into working online, I would suggest to start put sometimes into reading what can you do online.

    I would suggest to think what do you have to offer and how much are you looking to make per month.

    If you don't know what can you do online, start reading what type of jobs are out there. Do you want to offer a service ? or do you want to sell products online. I believe this is a deal breaker and will help you get a sense of what you want to do.

    I know there are million of things that can be done online but in my opinion if you going to start, you will have to start as service provider or a seller.

    Find out this and it will safe you a lot of time.

    Good luck

    There are so many things that you can do, you can start with blogging ( blog any you like, basketball, real estate etc), you can add adsense to your blog or you can join as an affiliate and find the niche that you know better.

    Hope this help

    hey dav4463

    There are so many opportunities online its hard to narrow just one down. It is all up to what you find works for you.

    Making money online is not a quick and easy thing and will usually take a bit of work and time. I personally enjoy creating niche websites and monetizing them with adsense.

    You have made an excellent start by coming to the WF though!

    Goodluck!

Hope i helped

    Here are some ideas for you off the top of my head.

    Spend some time learning the trade. Pick one niche/method to focus on and stick with that. Try not to jump around from opportunity to opportunity looking for the "magic bullet".

    If you need to save $$ for stuff like food, check out the offline marketing section. Those folks are a pretty giving bunch when it comes to giving you ideas to use. And many of those techniques require little or no cash. But be prepared to go out and sell and network with others in the real world.

    Put in the work. Some of this stuff is not all that fun to do (like backlinking IMO).

    Treat this as a longterm career.

    Learn a skill that is "evergreen" in demand, like coding or copywriting. That will help you keep food on the table if the "Big G" decides that your awesome "adsense empire" no longer deserves traffic.

    And yet again, do the work.

    Start setting goals and blocking off your time. A system that I use is the "Pomodoro Method". Just Google it, it's free.

    I know that you where probably looking for techniques instead of mindset info. But, this stuff is important to any aspiring business owner.

    Hope this helped somewhat.

    Best of luck in your quest! (also please forgive the grammer. I wrote this in a hurry!)

    Balance reading with action--

    Use Evernote and clip things from warriorforum..

    Don't spend too much time on forum.

    If you learn something and don't impliment it you failed. Every time you learn something stop and go impliment it.

    Pick a system and work it until you succeed. Affiliate marketing is one good one. Clickbank you can still have success.

    Exercise daily in the morning to get your energy flowing.

    Self-discipline and self-control are a must.

    Ask God for help
