Hello Warriors

Recently i have purchased a few things online with the intent to make money, but i have to be honest none have worked, i see on here people making a living online so i know it can be done, i dont expect it is easy just like anything else in life you have to work at it, i have plenty of time to dedicate to online ventures but i just need some honest guidance, i purchased the war room membership here on the forum as i thought if i am reading and trying to learn from guys like you then at least i can contribute something back and sign up, i have been reading all sorts from affiliate websites to amazon stores etc etc but i dont know where to start, i know to experienced guys like you im a newbie buy hey we all start somewhere i have been learning html tags etc in the hope this helps too, any way any advice would really be appreciated.

Thanks in advance Warriors

    Seems to me that you are focusing on too many things. It happens for all of us in the beginning. This is a good and a bad thing. There's the initial period of "getting accustomed" to internet marketing.

    Anyway.

    What I advise you is that you don't go crazy. Don't hunt for every new internet marketing strategy day after day.

    The best thing is that you choose just one thing, then go for it, until you see some results.

    On the other hand, you have to choose something.

    To just give a hint, for a complete newbie, building niche websites is one of the best and easiest ways to make money online. You need to learn basic SEO, keyword research and write decent reviews for products.

    I'm talking here either about Amazon physical products or your own e-book, and not affiliate Clickbank products. If you're a product creator, the trust factor goes way up.

      Yes, niche sites are the best way to go, think about it you've got a business that generates income on your terms entirely. The amount you make is only based on the amount of work and investment you put into it.

    It sounds like you have the drive to succeed but lack the focus and direction. It's very easy to pickup a new info product every day and read and read and read until you don't know what the hell you should do.

    You need the learn the very basics of building your own websites and once you have this down you can then develop those skills.

    You might also think about a coach or mentor. As with someone to go to when you have questions and also someone to keep ou on track can be invaluable.

      So true - I call that "analysis paralysis"

    Hi deano10!

    I know you mentioned that you purchased the war room membership. Many of the guides on there will give you a start to finish gameplan so that if you just follow the steps, you will do fine. I know it seems overwhelming but just take everything in small chunks.

    Every online business model can be filtered down to simple steps. There's no need to reinvent the wheel. Just select a guide on the war room that really resonantes well with you and follow along. And don't be tempted to follow 10 guides at once! Just select ONE and follow the steps!

    I have been looking and trying a lot of programs out there for the last 9 months and all of the $47, $97 and $197 programs just get your money with big promises and fake click bank sheets. I finally found a program that takes you by the hand sets you up for free and really teaches you step by step how to get a very promising venture together. The training program introduces you to every aspect of the business and teaches you what you need to know. The few times I had to inquire to the help desk was a real pleasure. They were very helpful and what is a real plus is I know they really want to help you succeed. I have learned more in 1 month than all the other months of trying everything I could get my hands on. There is some investment ( not much at all ) to get the affiliate programs but the education is worth more that that. So be careful and really do your homework because there's a lot of people waiting to get a hold of your money.

    There's just no perfect strategy for making money online.

    Just find one that's good and commit 100 percent of your time, money and energy to it for at least 2-3 months.

    My suggestion in getting started is to forget about making money at first. First determine what you are interested in and create a small website/blog for it. Learn what it takes to get a domain name and housing and to build a site on it (i.e. Install WordPress). Get an adsense account and put some ads on the site. If it is something you enjoy it will be fun to work on and create content for. Once you are comfortable with it, then look at how you can make money off of it or develop a site that is in a niche where you can make money on it.

  • Hi Deano10. Upon reading your thread title, here's a friendly reminder:

    Effective risk management is crucial when setting up, running, growing and expanding any business or your investment portfolio. So, determine all relevant factors that can affect the overall profitability of your ventures, your sales margin projections and your ROI timelines. Ensure that you reduce the risks while still substantially maintaining good rewards. With that out of the way:

    The main objective is to provide something of value, be it free or paid solutions, that can help solve the "hair on fire" problems and satisfy the immediate needs of a group of frequent Internet users who prefer to search for solutions and more info about the solutions they need as well as prefer to purchase those solutions online...

    This means you initially need to zone in on a group of frequent Internet users with "hair on fire" problems and immediate needs...
    Then, zone in further on the groups which prefer to search for the solutions they need on the Internet, also prefer to search for more info about those solutions online, and also prefer to purchase those solutions online...

    Next, formulate product and service offer ideas that will serve as effective, reasonably priced solutions for their needs and problems, then develop those products, or find affiliate products/service offers, document your experience while testing out those affiliate solutions and zone in on a set of effective, reasonably priced affiliate products/service offers to promote on your site...

    Then, develop onsite content that can help your target customers gain mor details and useful info that will help them identify the best solution for their exact problems and needs..

    Next, develop supplemental content that will provide more benefits not found elsewhere to your target customers, on top of the benefits they can gain from using the solutions mentioned above, and post this as a paid product on your site that has a payment processing system integrated with your mailing list subscription process, and also post it as an affiliate product in affiliate networks, such as JVZoo, with a 90% or more commission percentage per sale, to entice others to sign up as your affiliates and promote your product for you, driving traffic to your site and populating your mailing list subscriber base with buyer traffic in the process...

    At this point, you need to establish your business and site as a friendly, expert resource of beneficial content, products and services in the eyes of your target customers, and you then need to nurture a mutually beneficial business relationship with them, so as to have happy repeat customers providing you with free word-of-mouth advertisin...

    This is just one of many online income generation methods, but I believe you can see the fundamental concepts between the things I mentioned above...
