What would you suggest to an online marketing newbie or a struggling marketer if he needs money urgently?

Please list any methods, tips, and strategies that you know are effective. You can also state the strengths and disciplines the person needs in order to reach a breakthrough in this niche.

You can also state why the person should be doing it and how to get started. Maybe you can suggest proper resources, training, etc.

Best,

Hi Gerald,

for "fast" money in IM i beleive the only real way is to offer a service. Apart from services making money in IM takes time and alot of effort.

Its a shame some people sign up to this forum looking to make a million dollars in 24 hours by doing nothing.

-Michael

Thanks

  Wow Jill I did not know about Paul Myers' thread and it looks interesting!
  
  The one thing I want to add is that nothing works unless, after you picked your game, you stick with it untill it works. This the real newbie killer. Too many options and a try this try that approach.

  I was just going to mention that thread. I've seen it referred to so many times.
  
  If I was asked my advice on making money online today or some time super fast, I'd say the Internet isn't a way to do it.
  
  IM takes time and patience and even trying to write when your under financial pressure to make a sale can be difficult, and obvious to the reader.
  
  There's so many people trying to promote this, that and the next thing, and the thing I find a shame is that they often go in blind, trying to teach others the ins and outs of IM while trying to learn it themselves. Probably because of the recurring commission structure on a lot of them.
  
  Offline is probably the place to be. If you have a car, grab some stuff and head to a car boot sale.
  
  Print some flyers and put them in store windows for grass cutting services, ironing. Whatever. If someone needs something done and has the money to pay for it, then that's where to go.
  
  Thanks

Yep.

This is the only way to get quick cash. Go on fiverr or start a WSO for article writing.

AMEN to that.

If you want to make money quickly go and sell your services. Graphics, web development, article writing, etc.

Elance.com, your local businesses, Scriptlance.com, Craigslist are good places to go and find clients.

METHOD: Borrow money from their banks, friends, relatives or neighbors...
HOW: Talk to them politely. Cry when needed...
RESOURCES: A bank account and good credit rating. A large network of rich, kind-hearted friends, relatives and neighbors who can't stand seeing someone crying about money...

METHOD: Get a job or offer to their friends, relatives and neighbors services that can solve their problems and satisfy their needs that they can't solve and satisfy on their own...
HOW: Go to nearby companies currently hiring qualified employees and apply as an employee, or talk to their friends, relatives and neighbors. Ask them about their needs and problems that they can't satisfy and solve on their own. Tell them about their relevant expertise in relevant subject areas. Tell them to inform their own network of friends, neighbors and relatives about their service offers. Offer commissions per referral...
RESOURCES: Expertise in subject areas where a lot of companies and individuals have needs and problems that they can't satisfy and solve on their own. A large network of rich and lazy friends, relatives and neighbors who prefer to have everything done by others for them...

METHOD: Join contests with large cash prizes. Only a few people should be willing to join these contests, since most should be intimidated to participate...
HOW: Ask their friends, relatives and neighbors about such contests. Use Google to find out if there are nearby contests they can join...
RESOURCES: Unique abilities. Good luck...

METHOD: Offer kind, flattering words to their friends, relatives and neighbors, in exchange for money...
HOW: Develop a script to convince them. Practice it in front of the mirror. Do it when conditions are perfect...
RESOURCES: Dashing good looks. Slick style. Captivating voice...

I don't want to support the idea that there is fast money to be made from an online or offline business. I also don't want to support the idea that there is 0 to minimal investment of time and available resources to start an online or offline business. And, offering services as a freelancer working at home isn't fast money, since PayPal withdrawals take 3 to 5 banking days, read 7 to 9 banking days here in Manila, to clear...

  There is no fast way to earn money unless you strike lottery. The percentage to strike is 1%. It really depends on your drive and willingness to learn. I recommend affiliate program. It is ideal for a beginner but need a lot of hard work. Including myself, had a really rough start. Now I have my own squeeze page and email list. Thanks to my mentor.

Sorry, but there is no "Quick" in IM. As most know (those who have been working at
it for a while), everything is build, build, build. Work on something, learn from the mistakes, and then go on from there. The quickest way that I can think of to make money on the internet is to sell something on Craigslist or ebay. Craigslist - take only local cash or you can get scammed.
Ebay is a pain, but you can sell mostly whatever you want and make a few extra dollars a month. Some friends of mine make a consistent $350-$400 a week.

If anyone does want to make money online, my best advice is to begin - NOW! Make the
mistakes (we all do, no big deal), and build on your successes. Just like any business, this also takes time and effort. There is no "Quick".

The fastest way would be to offer a service. You need to excel in one particular area before you should offer such a service.

This is a fast method of making money because you are using already established skills and there is no preparation required, other than marketing and advertising.

If you have talent, contacts and ability it's relatively easy to make a lot of money quickly.

If you don't your best bets probably don't involve anything that the police wouldn't be interested in.

I think you should focus on learning the basics and fundamentals and build yourself up. Once you have done that then like I said above the money won't be a probem.

Gerald

This is one of those questions that appears almost daily it seems.
The problem is that you see all those hyped claims about every man and his dog making thousands of dollars online easy as pie.

Let me assure you, IT DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY...

Just like any business, IM requires that you work hard, stick with one plan and most often a monetary investment. Basically it boils down to driving traffic to your offer and then converting that traffic into buyers.

Think about it, if MMO was that quick and easy why are most people still slogging away at their 9-5?
Because you can't live on Dreams...

There's no fast money in IM for newbies (without a few exceptions, like 0.01% of the cases). If there was any fast money to be made for newbies, you wouldn't see threads on WF like "2 years into IM and didn't make a dime yet".

That says it all...but I never let that keep me from saying more

The means to acquiring wealth are well known and have been around for millenia:

1] Buy low. Sell high. Works for any market. This is how folks make money with real estate, financial instruments and eBay to name a few.

2] Invent something useful that people want. Innovation always pays well.

3] Do what you do well for people who would rather pay you to do it than do it themselves. That's the service industry in a nutshell.

4] Teach. Educating others has been a good living since before Socrates sat under a tree to instruct Plato and his friends.

5] Sell other people's stuff. Nothing happens till someone sells something. Sales is the highest paid profession, bar none. This is what affiliates do.

6] Create something. Art pays. This is especially true of writing. It is far easier today to publish than at any other time in history.

I could list more but I think you get the idea. The internet is a more efficient way to move product than the camel caravans of old but only the media has changed. The means for acquiring wealth have not.

no such thing as fast in IM. But on the Internet in general, it's definitely offering a service or selling products either through digital means or classifieds

Here's what I'd do. I'd do a Warrior Forum search for threads just like this one. People endlessly asking how to make fast money. There are probably a couple thousand of them, literally. Then I'd go through the tens of thousands of answers to these questions and pull out the best ones. There are probably more than a thousand really good ideas and methods.

Then I'd create a massive guide in PDF, audio and video with the methods I found right here using the search feature. I'd get a slick designer to make a nice eCover and maybe even a mini site. Then I'd give the guide a really cool and unique name. Something like, How To Make Outrageous Quick Cash Fast. 1001 Legit Methods! Then I'd sell it here to people looking to make quick cash. Sound good? Could end up as the WSO of the freakin' year.

Selling a sort after product (ebook etc) or services seem to be the only fast ways to make money. IM is a "slow and steady wins the race" type of field.

There is no fast Money in IM, PPC can make money fast, but even for that you need to have initial funding. Plus you need to run multiple campaigns, test it and tweek it.

In general, the fastest way to make some cash is not online.

Instead, it usually involves providing some kind of offline service and receiving cash up front. Example, (and I know this isn't sexy) get a bucket, squeegee, small mop and bottle of vinegar. Mix a window wash solution, and go up and down every business street to every store and office. Offer to wash their windows for, say $5.

You will make money, if there are few takers, lower the price. If you stick with it, you'll have $100 days, pretty regularly.
Is it a career? No, but it's a REALISTIC way to get cash legally and honorably.

You cannot make fast money with IM unless you are just tremendously lucky. You can make fast money by offering a service, such as writing, web design, etc. or you can sell things on eBay or Craigslist.

  Here's another suggestion:
  
  METHOD: Unspeakable and unimaginable acts of cruelty, violence and self-mutilation...
  HOW: Be creative. Send threatening spam with links to your videos, to everyone. Tell them you'll carry out your plans if you don't get fast money now. Include an enchanting call to action and your PayPal ID...
  RESOURCES: Extremely violent psychotic episodes. Medieval weapons of torture. Medieval tools for medical treatment. A video camera...

I think it depends on what you wish to accomplish. If IM is your only option search out the threads on getting started with Fiverr, Elance etc...
Basically out source yourself or your marketable skills.

Needless to say this is not new advice. Plenty of warriors with skills and success far beyond mine offer that advice on countless threads here on the forums. There are also those here on the forum well on their way to a full time career in IM that got their IM start providing basic services to established IMers.

Lastly, if it's not critical that the money comes from IM Do Not forget about off line opportunities. A couple weekends ago I was looking at Fiverr with the intent of recommending to a hard working kid who was looking for ways to make some extra cash. I figured if he got the hang of it he could make about $10.00 an hour.

That same weekend I gladly gave the kid a $20.00 bill plus a $3.00 tip to do a great job mowing and trimming my lawn. He did it in less than an hour. Deducting his gas cost and wear and tear on his mower he probably made about $18.00 an hour. He had 3 more lawns to do that morning.

While I am not recommending manual labor or a traditional second job for everyone, they are great ways to make extra cash very quickly which you can put toward an online venture.

Thanks

If you do not already know one of them, you need to learn one.

If you are a creative visual person who enjoys colours and shapes, go learn web design.

If you are a creative verbal person who communicates well with words, go learn article writing.

If you are a hideously boring and not-too-bright person who can only handle mindless repetitive tasks, go learn SEO. Specifically, how to build backlinks.

(There are many very intricate and difficult things about SEO, but a monkey can build backlinks. Seriously, if you can't learn how to build backlinks, call the police... because you have clearly been lobotomised in your sleep by some horribly evil person who is probably still in your house.)

All of these things can be learned for free on the internet. Get an account on a marketing forum - this one, or any other - and find out where you can post about whichever one of these subjects fits you.

Ask the people on this forum where you should go to learn more. They will give you a shocking number of links and references. Read them all twice.

Once you have learned enough about this skill that you don't sound like a retard whenever you open your mouth about it, start posting about it on the forum.

Once you have a sufficiently high post count to put a link in your signature, stick a PayPal link in there for your services. Say "Minisite design, $20" or "500-word articles, $10" or "100 backlinks, $2" or whatever.

Post like mad all over the forum about the skill you are offering - not spammy like "Hey I do XYZ you should hire me," but "When doing XYZ these things are important and should always be remembered" or "To answer your question about XYZ, yes that is a very good idea plus here is some additional advice to help you out."

It will not take you very long to impress upon people that you know what you are talking about and would probably be a good person to hire, if only you were available to... oh hey look at that link in your signature.

And whenever you are selling stuff in a forum, or on a site, or pretty much anywhere really... actually, even if you're not selling stuff at all... you should never forget Wheaton's Law:

If you really want FAST money, scam people. If you're a desperate person who doesn't want to learn much in IM through failures and successes then scamming people is your best option. If you want to stand your ground and learn how things go then you better suit yourself to much reading and then applying.
