it seems to me that so many people are running into the world of IM, im trying but iv got to be honist im finding it hard.
I dream of my first £ earned but i just dont know were to start or what to do and im trying not to let this dishearten me.
Iv been reading for months but still havent found any "first point" info.
We all have to start somewhere, Dont we?

    Hi Friend

    My advice would be to replace your hopes and dreams with Goals and Tasks.

    Set yourself some goals that are achievable on a month by month basis then set daily tasks that you need to do to reach those goals.

    Never Give Up & Good Luck

    Sometimes it is best to quit reading and start doing. Select a product and concentrate on how to best market it. I did the same thing when I first started and never accomplished anything. Progress didn't begin until I picked a product/project and concentrated all my time and effort on making it a success I probably shouldn't say this but the forum can sometimes get you rapped around the axle so be careful. Good luck.

    For Dreams and Goals to actually come true, we need to get off our butts and start doing something about it. They are called dreams and goals for a reason. They don't just accomplish things themselves. You need to get up and make it happen. Be an action taker.

    Now as for not knowing where to start, don't worry. We were all in that same position. Start hanging out with people you look up to or with action takers. Get advice from them. You could also start reading more books. The key to improvement is to read more. Not just read and that's it... but read and take action.

    I wish you luck! This forum is a great place to start to get advice.

    Not uncommon falling into information overload. Like a deer in the headlights you get blinded by all the info and offers, and don't know if you should jump, run, blink or just get off the road. Don't let if Freeze you into "Not Acting". You don't have to hit a home run with your first at bat.

    I found a thing that is working for me with a fellow warrior named Zach Waldman. I enrolled for his coaching site this is my second week and we are taking baby steps daily to get to profits in im. The course is Action Plan Monthly, I love the concept of bite size steps to your first offer on the forum. just a give a way at first. Zach gives us something to do everyday mon- fri. Gotta have some time off, progress slowly methodically and thoroughly. Its A plan of Action I don't always know where exactly I'm headed but i'm always taking steps to get there. It works for me I stay motivated and busy. I'm confident that I'm going to find the path that is right for me and have the confidence to be successful when I do. I'm not alone, I have lots of help here on wf and Zach is my back up if I need it. I don't have to sort through the tons of info I find to find out if its right for me. I can if i want to, but my focus is on this plan of action and it is my priority for now.

    A lesson in patience and the value of focus and of having a plan. I would recommend finding Zach on the forum and signing up. I have an affiliate link but I 'm not going to give it to you. Just find Zach Waldman and talk to him about signing up. Ask him questions and satisfy yourself. The course will give you direction and he is available to you if you need advice outside the course. It has been a great find for me and it keeps getting better.

    Good luck. Seriouly Check it out.

    Maybe this isn´t for you? Are you just chasing money? If that is the case then you will never succeed. I have this great quote that I found a couple of weeks ago.

    "Success isn't a result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire."

    internet marketing is not easy at all. people who do make it in this business never give up on what goals they are trying to reach. so just keep pushing and never give up. giving up is the easy way out. Hard work always pay off.

      .....very true!!

      I'd always try and recommend anyone starting out to hire a mentor. Even then, be prepared for a lot of hard work. Anyone who starts out in IM thinking that it's an easy ride is in for one big surprise!!

      The flip side to hiring a mentor of course is that it can be expensive but if finances allow, I'd always recommend it.

      The hardest thing for me was getting started. I hired a blog built and installed. Now I've got some focus and work to do. i find it easier to learn while doing. I've also meet some great folks through this board.

      Start building a site and building relationships, everything will begin coming together for you.

      By the way, all the money is going out at the moment, but I'm having fun. The money will follow.

    As John Reese would say - stop dreaming and start doing. Now, one of the best ways to actually act and stay motivated to finish it is to attach a deadline to the dream. It was Napoleon Hill who said - a goal is a dream with a deadline.

      "It is always darkest before the dawn."

      The first way to get through the darkness is to have a guiding light.

      This can be a goal or a mentor to help you get through the night.

      The other way is to have something scary chasing you through the night.

      This is usually more motivating.

      The longer you stay in the game, the more skillful you get.

      Keep running until you get to the finish line. (Then you will be capable of taking on even harder challenges.)

    Taking action to Test is the most important and you should find which ones are suitable for you. Info + Practices + Insistence = Experiences or even Successes.

    any person here who has seen any success has seen some failure. get it in your head that you are in for a long learning curve. i am just starting to gain momentum and have been at it non-stop for over a year. it doesn't take that long for everyone, some it takes longer. starting trying things so you can learn from them and gain more perspective moving forward. being willing to spend money makes to get things going makes this way easier as well
