Start making money online

13 replies
So I would really like to start making some money online which I can invest in bigger projects (have few in mind already).

The point is, that I'm already trying to make mony, but I just can't make sales. I have 7 gigs on fiverr, made just 1 sale so far, I offer services and products on Digital Point but noone buys anything.

I don't really have much money left as I have to keep some to pay for my hosting each month.

Any advice is highly welcome.

    Thanks for your advice, but I'm really not comfortable with list building, I never did it tho. I can't even afford auto responder atm.

      I offer you one observation, with apologies in advance for the fact that it isn't what you want to hear (but sometimes what people want to hear and what they need to hear aren't exactly the same).

      In countless threads in this forum, over the years, questions have been asked of successful marketers along these lines ...

      • What's the one thing you'd do differently if you were starting again?
      • What's the one thing you wish you'd known when you started?
      • What's your "single most important top piece of advice" for anyone wanting to make money online?
      • What single thing most tranformed your own ability to earn a living online?
      • What's the most important aspect of any sort of internet marketing to master?

      These threads are all united in one respect: the people replying to them who are actually making a living all give the same answer to each of these and many other, related questions ... (wait for it) ...

      "Build a list".

      And there are good and valid reasons for that.

      So my advice to you, if you're not comfortable with list-building, is to GET comfortable with list-building. Do whatever that takes, to avoid having in another year's time the same question you have now.

      In the words of John Fowles: "all the rest is desolation".

    You are concentrating on too many things at the same time, concentrate on one of your ideas until it starts making you a bit of money and then you can start to think about expanding on that. Making money online is a slow process.

    Matthew has given you some great advice, although list building is not for everybody it can be a great way to get into Internet Marketing.

    Thanks,
    -Michael

    I am very interested in building an email list. Is aweber.com the only service out there? My website is yourgreatabs.com. I bought it off flippa but still haven't switched over email box to do anything for me. Any advice would be awesome. Thanks

    Well yes I know it's a slow process, but I don't even know what to start with. I have whole day to spend building business, I just don't know what.

      A quick Google search will find you plenty of other services, i think MailChimp pretty much does the same thing. Aweber is highly recommended though and used by the majority of Internet Marketers i know.

      Then i would suggest hanging around the forum and picking up ideas, dont rush into anything.If you have days free then you can do some research, read some blogs. Google "John Chow" and read his blog. Do your homework, it will pay off (hopefully).

      Thanks,

    Work Hard and be Honest

    I have knowledge I'm reading this forum for about 4 years now, so that's not the biggest problem. I would like to start PPC advertising but I can't afford. That's why I'm trying to earn some money to invest in projects.

    There are many ways to make money online, selling services is just one of them. What have work for a friend at fiverr is offering services that 1) are popular and 2) have a tendency of recurring service. If you can find that type of service, I'm sure you can make more sales.

    Hint: If you are good at article writing, offer quality service about that. There is always a need for quality writers in IM.

        Well, there is competition, what is your Unique Selling Proposition. You need to stand out from the bunch somehow. The barriers to entry are low, you have to be creative to beat the competition.
