Hi I'm new to internet marketing and I want to make it big. English is not my first language so sorry about that.

I have a couple of questions to ask

1) Is it really posible to make 100k a year on the internet? Is it posible to make more than that?
2) I'm willing to do whatever it takes, but what does it take? I'm not going to buy a 40 dollar product and put in a lot of work and time to just see it fail. I'm not willing to buy something that sells for 40-100 dollars and promises to make me $500 a day because that doesn't make sense to me. I don't know if its just me but I don't see something like that working.
3) I'm willing and I have the resources to enroll in an online college or a real college. I was looking at getting a marketing ba followed by a mba specializing in internet marketing. Is this the way to go?

Like I said I want to make it big but I don't want to waste my time. I don't know what it is but theres something that I like about the idea of making real money online and I'm willing to put the effort in beleive me I do but I want to make sure that its going to be worth it.

I'm not looking for false promises or some fairy tale product I want to be pointed in the right direction and that's it.

    1.) Yes, and yes


    2.) It takes a ton of time, effort, and money. If you aren't willing to spend $40 then you are not going to succeed in this business. Nothing is guaranteed. For many people here (myself included) our biggest breakthroughs have come as a result of our biggest failures. If you aren't willing to try new things, accept failure and keep adapting then it isn't going to work. You should never buy something simply because it guarantees you to make a certain amount of money. Make a purchase because you believe it will add value to your business and help you move forward towards your goals.


    3. There is value in enrolling in a university, but I would never recommend it simply because someone wants to be an internet marketer. This is a whole separate discussion.


    You say that you are willing to do whatever it takes, but it sounds like you just want a sure thing. It doesn't exist. There will be times that you feel like you've wasted your time, maybe even months. It's just the way it is, and thats why only a few ever reach the level of success they want.

    Hey there fl23pr!

    Yes it is possible to make 100k online. Do I make that much? No! But I know and know of some ethical marketers who do make that amount. It will take time and hard work, but it is achievable. To reach a goal like that you should take baby steps. You know, set a goal to make $100 a month and when you accomplish that set out to make $200 the next month (divide it up how you'd like).

    What stood out to me being that your a beginner is that you are conscious of the "false promises". and to be honest you have to watch out for those. But that will come with experience. I have my own list of marketers who I purchase from when they create a course because they are the real deal and they surely do not try to sell the dream, they want you to live it...

    So...

    What does it take? of course hard work but also sacrifices. Such as not playing the xbox or ps3 for a while and things of that nature. It takes focus and determination, courage, a strong mind, and most important the heart not to quit when things do not go as planned.

    Now...about enrolling in school for internet marketing. My thoughts are neutral about enrolling in school. Why? Ok... I do not knock education period. I'm in school myself but I say that you can get your "schooling right here from the internet ,warrior forum, experienced marketers blogs, etc...

    Not to mention if you do want to learn the ins and outs of internet marketing you can check out WealthyAffiliate.com I'm sure many warriors can testify to this University.

    but...

    There is not doubt in my mind that you want to success. Remain teachable, focused, consistent, humble, and I can't stress this enough Take Massive ACTION and do not quit! No matter what! Stick to ONE Internet Marketing method at a time. Many make the mistake of bouncing around to different systems and strategies then that creates information overload.

    Also if you want to find out about the good courses and marketers who have great and not so great products visit: imreportcard.com

    This is a site where people can log on and grade, yes grade with a course, service, or internet marketer with an A, B, C, D, or an F ...create you a new account and there you have access to the info that should help you decide on what to purchase and who to purchase from.

    Hope this help you!

    I hope this help you

  • Hi Fl23pr,

    1) Is it really posible to make 100k a year on the internet? Is it posible to make more than that?
    A: Yes. Read this thread, this blog post and this page, or watch this video...

    2) I'm willing to do whatever it takes, but what does it take? I'm not going to buy a 40 dollar product and put in a lot of work and time to just see it fail. I'm not willing to buy something that sells for 40-100 dollars and promises to make me $500 a day because that doesn't make sense to me. I don't know if its just me but I don't see something like that working.
    A: It takes extensive market research, analysis, creativity, innovation and hard work...

    3) I'm willing and I have the resources to enroll in an online college or a real college. I was looking at getting a marketing ba followed by a mba specializing in internet marketing. Is this the way to go?
    A: Relevant fundamental knowledge and experience are always useful when you can get it, aside from the network you can build and nurture in such an environment. The Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry is however a perpetually changing platform, and so is the business industry. So:

    Study, analyze, be creative, innovate something that will be helpful in solving the urgent problems and satisfying the immediate needs of other corporations, businesses and specific groups of individuals, formulate effective advertising and marketing campaigns, then monitor your results to continuously improve and expand your business...

    I totally understand you concerns however if you want to make it big you need to be prepared for some frustrations and set backs along the way. Is it possible absolutely yes five figures per month and beyond are achievable. If you are serious about this two words patience and persistence.

    Take a look at Six Figure Alliance on the Warrior Special Offers Forum - this may be what you need. I wish this was available when I started. Realise, however, that you will need to work hard and smart and having a good mentor will greatly short-cut your route to success.

    It's great that you're willing to do whatever it takes... My suggestion for someone like you who is truly motivated to make it, would be to find a coach/mentor who can show you the ropes and point you in the right direction. That really is the fastest way to succeed in this business - think of coaching/mentoring as your internet marketing degree.

    With that said, you are going to have to invest some capital if you want to get a proper education. You are going to have to invest in learning the business, then you'll have to invest in running your business. The great thing about the Internet is that you can run a business very inexpensively as opposed to a physical store, which would cost a fortune.

    One of the best and most affordable coaching WSO's I've ever seen is that called the Internet Marketing Classroom from Matt Wolfe and Joe Fier. It's a really good start and it's all video, so you can at least get a good idea about where and how to start. Here's the link for that wso: Internet Marketing Classroom. Take the time to go through this and you'll be on the right track.. I've been through this course in its entirety just to pick up some extra tips and tricks that I wasn't using, and even for someone who is already doing well online I found it to be valuable.

    Hope that helps and as always keep asking good questions.

    Paul

    Are you willing to do whatever it takes? Then don't care about wasting the time and begin. It's possible to make 100K and there is many people doing it, but it take a lot of time and effort. So here I'm asking you again, are you willing to do whatever it takes? If so, you should be happy to fail, because you will see what doesn't work and will learn from your mistakes. That's the most valuable part of achieving your dreamed 100K.

    You know, you can buy as many products as the planet earth gives you, but they will never work for you the way they teach you. You will have to find your own tweak to it and you can achieve that only through failing. Don't get me wrong here. You will learn great deal of info from a product, but it doesn't have to work for you.

    And one more thing. You have to realize, making money cost money. The visitors that will come to your offer will not be for free. You can choose to pay it by your time investment or by cash. The decision is up to you. Just remember there is no such a thing like free traffic, free way to make money, free... whatever.

    I don't want to scare you, but failing and money are the expenses you have to pay for the 100K a year.

    Hope you won't give up and will get there one day. Good luck

      Follow a successful coaching program instead of wasting money on ebooks. You need a coach to guide you along not information from the ebooks.

      Invest in yourself is one of the best thing to do instead of spending money on things that will not return you back the money.

      • You're asking the wrong questions.

        In my experience, whenever anyone starts out by stating a desire for big money and wanting a guarantee their efforts will pay off, that means they're not really interested in the field.

        If all you want is money, how are you going to stick with IM through all the learning you *must* do to be any good at it? If you're not interested in marketing for its own sake, how can you succeed?

        Don't end up like those guys who can't hack IM and end up buying some software so they can spam blogs with 10,000 links at $5 or $10 a pop. It's a sad, pathetic little life.

    From my own experiences, the best way to learn about internet marketing, what works and what doesn't is just by making mistakes. I made so many mistakes, which cost me too, but I'm glad I made them, and stayed focused on what worked and stayed working the whole time, and then throwing out what didn't work.

    At the time of making these errors, of course I had no idea they were errors, this is how I learnt these things, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered obviously! But the right path for me has been sculpted out of my many errors made.

    I started just like you, I didn't want to spend anything, I wasn't willing to do this or that. But when it came to it, I bit the bullet, and bought my first website, and then it all began for me. And if I hadn't done that, I wouldn't be here typing this to you now, you can't say you don't want to spend anymore than $40. This business takes a little investment, and if you're serious about it, work somehow to get the money you need, offer services online or work a normal job till you have the funds, do internet marketing and your job till one takes over.

    You can make great money online, but there is a process of learning involved first, if you're consistent and willing, you'll do fine
