Starting online busiess?

For days I am looking on the internet what I could sell, what kind of website could I start, etc. but just can't come up with an idea.

Any help is much appreciated.

Have you considered what you like to do and what you know about? Other more experienced IM people may rightly disagree with me here, but I think it's important to love what you are marketing as an entrepenure.

jim

what did you sell on fiverr? explore and build a new product on that niche and sell it while building a list of subscribers.. then search for an affiliate,jv and such..

I'm repeating myself again, but find something you are passionate about. What are your hobbies? What can't imagine living without?

If you start a business that you are not passionate about, the business won't survive in the 21st century.

I agree you need to be passionate about whatever you want to do. What do you find yourself doing in your spare time? That could give a clue to what you may want to do for money too.

Always make sure whatever venture you decide to be involved in that you are using the 3 Key Concepts in your business. And you will be on your way to succeed.

Good luck and God Bless!

Ps. What if instead of hunting people down until they begged you to stop... pre-qualified prospects actually sought you out and asked you what you do and how you do it? Click here.

Sounds like you are trying to find an idea for some kind of untapped market. Do not worry about "thinking" of something. It is easy enough to look at what you already know and to become some kind of an authority for that.

There are a couple of tips that I think most people with 1000's of posts more than me would agree with here.

1. Don't get into the "make money" niche until you have experience or a service to offer.
2. Start, work hard, and expect to fail a couple of times until you figure out what works and does not for yourself.
3. Be passionate about what you are doing. It can take a long time to make that first $100 and if that is all that is motivating you then you will have some tough times.

I started affiliate marketing a few years ago and as I was building my business I struggled working lots of hours and making next to nothing but I would get excited about $5 and $10 days because I knew it was building and leading to a better income.

On the Warrior Forum if you do a search you will find lots of guides, even for free that will show you how to avoid mistakes that many people have already made before you. Good Luck!

Thanks

If you're looking for a good, long term business model then there's none better than building a list of people in whatever niche you're going to be in...building a relationship with your list via email marketing and then depending on whether you choose to go with affiliate marketing or product creation, promote those products to your list.
But always remember to give value to your list...I learned something very valuable from one of the best IMers that's out there and he said:

"If you take care of your list, your list will take care of you."

All the Best
