Struggling Here Please Help

9 replies
I have been online now for 2 years trying to make this thing work and have always been unsuccessful. I have bought many programs and WSO's with no successful. Every time I get a new course I really dive in and take action following all the steps I am advised to take and still nothing. Yes I have tried them all. Everything from media buying to PPC to email marketing to affiliate and CPA marketing. I am starting to really think I am either doing something wrong or I should stop throwing my money down the toilet. Maybe this thing and me are not meant to be. I am asking any successful warrior out there for some assistance or guidance with this to give a struggling marketer some help. I have spent all the money I have and have come to the point that I cannot purchase anymore marketing programs. I guess I have to use what I have learned and start putting that into good use. But where to start and what to do is the question at hand. I look forward to your responses to this helpful need. Thanks in advance for the help.

    Well, based on your sig:

    I am in the process of putting together a new product on making money on facebook. I would appreciate your input here.

    ... it sounds like social media would be a good place to start.


    Of course if you haven't made money with Facebook, then perhaps that's the root of your problem: You're trying to sell things that don't work.

    Making money online doesn't have to be complicated. Here's a simple formula:

    Find a hungry audience who's already buying products and services in a niche. Find out what they're buying. Find out where they're hanging out (so you can put an ad in front of them). Sell them what they're already buying.

    And focus. Stop jumping from one thing to the next.

    ETA: I just looked at your previous posts and I can see what types of WSOs you're buying -- the ones promising the big incomes. Stop looking for the magic bullet. Instead, pick a niche, develop a strategy to make money and then just FOCUS and work hard. Not just for a couple weeks or months, but until you see it through and start seeing a profit.

    In fact, I'd say stay out of the WSO section all together for a while. There is plenty right here in the main forum to get you started. If at a later time you need a tool or resource to help your business, THEN go back to the WSO forum to look for it. But stop going in there willy nilly and getting wooed by the big income claims.

    It sounds as if you have been looking for an instant money making formula, and keep jumping from one possibility to the next. My advice is to settle down to some hard work , keep at it and don't spend any more money. One at least of the many courses you say you have bought must show you the basics of affiliate marketing and SEO. And remember to keep a record so that you can look back and see what is working and what is not.

    And good luck - it will work eventually!

    Online marketing is similar to old school marketing. You have two choices:
    1. Find a hungry market with money to spend and sell them what they want/need
    2. Convince the market your product is better than what they currently use.
    Option 1 is the easiest, but option 2 can be more profitable. If people believe that your product is the best and can make them happier or release them from something they have to do but hate then you can make a bomb.

    Rachel has it right.

    Stop focusing on money and start focusing on people you can help. Identify a group that needs help that you can commit to helping to. Research to understand their needs and then find or create products and resources to help them.

    Providing true value to real people will provide abundant reward.

      Hi Jimp1173. You say you have tried many different wso's and other opportunities. So have I. You say you haven't made any money yet. So have I. You say you have been doing this for 2 years...so have I. I have come to the realization what countless others have said before me and that is you have to stick to one thing and see it all the way through till it works. If it is fundamentally sound, it will work for you if you put in the elbow grease. It won't work if you think it is a magic bullet. After taking at least a half dozen "courses" i am now working diligently with the information thought in Niche Profit Classroom. I stopped looking at WSO's some time ago. I am confident that sticking with this system will pay off. Take a look for yourself...I am NOT putting in my affiliate link on purpose. Good luck.

    Best advice I can give is to just take one thing and stick with it. Don't stop until you figure it out no matter how many failures you have. It seems your currently working on a social media project so why not stick with that for a while.

    You're taking action, that's good. But how long are you acting? Results won't come with small actions. You will have to act and KEEP acting.

    As mentioned above, you're gonna have to find something that works. Do not look at WSO's for now. Instead stick with basic methods that you know work. CPA and such.

    Tune everything out and stick with what you're doing.

    Overtime you will look at WSO's, but only to better what you're doing.

    Marketing 101...decide on which market you're gonna cater to...find out what they are into or what they are looking for...offer them the service or product...

    Once you've done your research, make a plan or strategy on how to go about it. Go over the tools that you already have and pick the one that you think would help you most. There's no need to purchase another IM tool as most likely you already have what you need from all the IM products you've purchased before.

      Perhaps you should focus on one thing first before proceeding to the next thing.Yes,you said you did all the actions that they told you to do so but it requires time to see the outcome,give yourself around 2-3 weeks to gauge the results.
