Greetings, I'm a freshly joined member. I've been aware of the forum for some time. I've wasted my time on the internet for half my life, for some reason or another I mentally had decided -I- cannot make money on the internet. This is obviously not true, because I have profited here and there in my time on the internet.

I am not skilled at all, I know Excel, and Word, I can type at best 80wpm. I'm a decent writer, and I often have decent ideas, even now. So where does one start? Do I begin trying to learn to program? Start a blog? I just want to get on the path to earning money preferably soon, but I am patient and can work hard. I'm also intensely broke.

    If you can write decent and are intensely broke I would recommend Googling Tiffany Dow. Using her Ghostwriting for Cash product I started getting some clients and immediate cash in the door. Not a lot but enough to barely get by. But whatever it takes...right?

    If you have any questions let me know and I will PM you.

    Hey if you want fast money.. you can start writing articles and make instant money from it as you said you are a good writer. You can earn around $2 to $15 per article on sites like Constant Content, Associated Content, Helium etc. or you can find article writing tasks on freelancing sites. Why i am suggesting this because you are good in that and this way you can make instant money. After earning some money, plan a business and move ahead...

    Hi, 1st thing needs to be done is to make money to sustain your life, i suggest you get some jobs first, regular 8-5 job and then you can slowly build your IM business in the spare time, say 6-9. With this pattern you will have money to sustain your life and also sustain your IM business. When your IM business going well then you can leave your daily job to be more focus and grow larger.

    Now for the IM business, if you can write then try offer your service on freelancing site or on fiverr.com. Make it cheap for starter so people interested to test it out then you can build more clients from there. But really this kind of work is tiring and stressful because it's same like working 9-5.

    The better path according to me is learn new skill, don't depend on your writing skill. Learn cpa and paid traffic, subscribe to popular cpa forum, this is where super affiliates are, use the money from your 9-5 job as capital for testing and testing. Believe me, if you keep trying, don't take your loss and keep learning, you will one day master this and everything will be more easy from there. I also putting my capital to go this route.

    Hope this helps

      This is the most horrible advice I've ever read on the WF. We might as well tell him to go get a good college education and then find a job he can work for 40 years while achieving nothing in his life.

      Making money online is not hard. You don't need special skills. You need to assess YOUR skills and see what you can already do. Can you type? Go to iWriter, TextBroker, Constant Content, oDesk, vWorker, Elance, Warriors For Hire, etc., and start bidding on jobs.

      Go to Fiverr and post 20 gigs of stuff you can do.

      If you have $20 to spare (I know you said you're broke, but we all have different ideas of broke), go buy a brandable domain on NameCheap and get it hosted with HostGator. Then go search for every post you can find by Alexa Smith, MYOB, Annie Pots, and AmandaT and learn how to do Article Syndication, PLR, and Kindle Publishing, all of which are free.

      After that, come back here and sell your success as a WSO (and don't forget to give me my 1% for the free advice ).

        Everyone has their own opinion, i don't mind you say it's horrible advice but that horrible advice is working with me. I also knew few IMers that go down the same road and now becomes successful. Anyway OP have receive many good replies and it will surely helps.

    If you are that broke, I believe with $16 you can obtain a new domain name, one month's web hosting and a free WP blog installation. This wonderful offer was made by some warrior some time ago. You can see this offer here Free WordPress Installation Service – Get Your New Website Now! (please not an affiliate link neither am I affiliated to them).

    Why did I Give out this link?

    You can use this great offer to write good articles and showcase your expertise and direct your prospective clients to your blog thereby increasing your credibility.

    People will always want to review one of your writings before they can trust you to write for them.

    All you need do is to provide quality content.

    Kennedy.

    Maybe you can start by creating a blog based on a niche that you like and that's low in competition. Start honing your skills by writing articles every day on your blog. You can do this all for free on blogspot and you can use adsense to monetize the site.
