Hi All,
I'm Filippo and I'm from Italy.
First of all I need to thank you because reading this forum I'm learning a lot of things and I'm opening eyes on a new world.
I'd really like to start with some "on line business". As I said before I'm a newbye so I need to choiche my "arena".
My big issue is about it if is it possible to built an online business here in Italy or if your system to make money online works well only in the US market?

P.S. Sorry for my poor English

    When you are doing something on the internet, then you are exposed to the whole world and not to one particular area or region.

    There will be endless opportunities for you to explore, which makes the game more interesting and challenging.

    Yes it is possible. But the real question is whether you can make money at all. Many people are from US and can't make enough. Many don't even start. it doesn't matter where you live. It's all about getting the skills and getting good at internet marketing.

    You'd be ok, just concentrate on learning as much as you can. And outsource any English writing you need. lol.

    Take care and good luck.

      There are many successful online marketers from countries other than the US. There are many different online models; choose one that can work for you.

      As someone mentioned above, if you plan on writing articles you'll need to be sure that it's written in fluent English. You can always outsource your articles or other content needs.

      Online marketing is not a get rich quick scheme. You can make lots of money if you work hard, focus and don't change direction too often

      Good Luck!

    Take a look at anything WilliamRS puts out. He lives in Brazil and he's very successful.

    For example, I know people in other countries have a harder time getting accepted to CPA networks than people in the U.S. do. However, William manages to do it.

        Thanks a lot for your kindly advice. It's useful to know that also in Italy where web marketing is not so popular I can try to built something...

        I know that only working hard and being focused I can have success.

        I really know that there are no "free meals" online ...

        .....now I back to study tons of posts in the forum...

        Thanks,

        Filippo

    I'll agree with you that there are definitely some challenges if you are not in the US--more so if you do not reside in a native English-speaking country.For instance, some networks and member sites won't accept you.However,it's still very possible to make a decent income even without being in the US.Just focus on developing the necessary skills to succeed in your chosen field(you may need to work harder),market aggressively, and eventually you'll make it.After all everyone is ultimately interested in getting value for money--regardless of nationality.

      It is possible; but as what most of them had already told you, it is a challenge but still is a possibility. There is no bound when you are in the internet; there are unlimited ways to earn in the Internet Marketing business. You just have to search and look for the niche and the method that you are interested to work with and have the passion to focus on that niche. Earning in the IM world doesn't really matter where you live as long as you have your internet connection at a speed that can fully support your online activity.
      As a suggestion for those who are just starting in the IM world, you can start by providing services such as an article writer, back linker, and etc. With the earnings you are able to generate by providing the services, you can then invest the money like purchasing a domain or probably hire a mentor.

  • Yes it's really possible. I am from Georgia and I have some real chances to get money online. You just need to choose a niche. Then make a research about keywords and etc. Choose the products or services that is demanded by the society.
    Good Luck

    Ofcourse , you can . The beauty and big attracting factor about the internet marketing business is that you can be anywhere in the world , add value to other peoples lives and make a lot of money . It doesn't matter where you are in Italy , UBA or france , as long as you have an internet connection , you have the right offer in front of the people who want that offer , you would make money

    So , the short answer is yes . The world is global now . You are no longer limited by location anymore

    There are two parts to your question:

    1. You can make money if you are based in any country. You don't have to be in US.

    2. Can you make money if your target market is not US? Yes you can, but it depends upon your product or service. I have had success for one of my affiliate product in US and Europe. But when I targeted few Asian countries, there were plenty of clicks but no sale. So I guess it depends on your product.

      I agree with Giani that you need to first choose your product/service and accordingly the target market will vary. However to make any online business successful,you need to learn SEO and the forum is a great place for the same.Infact you can start you freelancing career working on link building projects from sites like Elance and odesk .

    Yes, you can!

    Just think how many people there are in Italy and I am willing to bet that most if not all want the same as the rest of Europe and the U.S so you can target them specifically using local search engines.

    what system?

    if your just dealing with data i can't see a problem with that.

    unless you doing illegal copyright contents then you got a problem with US.

    Hey FILVAS,
    I come from a very small third world country somewhere in Africa and I comfortably live on internet marketing.

    The internet makes this world a small global village.

    A big YES to you about making a thriving online business from Italy.
    All you need is careful planning, focus, perseverance and the guts to try...plus some risk factor.

    Do not be afraid to fail. You will most definitely fail severally (as we all have) but you will eventually make it. Get a mentor to avoid many mistakes most of us have made.

    I hope this helps.

    Yes, it is definitely possible to Earn from outside of the US. Remember that when in the net, the boundries between countries diminish if not vanishes. As long as you are able to communicate with the universal language which is English then you should be fine.
