    • There are several things you can learn, the biggest thing I give to clients and people that are just starting up is this:

      Make sure you get into a niche that you are very interested in, because online marketing takes time and dedication and if you want to succeed you need to find something that you enjoy doing or it will get very boring to you.

    Good for you...you have a Blog. That is a great start. Who is your favorite Marketer? You should find someone successful and get familiar with their system. the old sying. "do what they do and you will make what they make"

    So if you feel like you need training, find someone trustworthy and follow them and even spend some money on some training products. Many of them are worth their weight in Gold.

    This is what I did and it turned my income around. It will take some time and effort but it will work.

      If you're a complete newbie I suggest the 30 Day Challenge it's designed for newbies and is FREE. So no money needs to be spent. Welcome to the WF.

        Just participate in different dofollow forums, read a lot of postings especially from senior members because most of the time they share useful and informative tips in marketing and seo.Through it, you would learn a lot and would also share what you've learned from them.

    Hey welcome to the forum!

    You can use your existing blog as your main money site or review site, which you can drive traffic to.

    Here are 10 proven traffic tactics that may not cost you, but would need your investment in time and effort.

    1. Create a facebook account, and build your network, target people who have the same interests.

    2. Create a Twitter account and build your network, also people who have the same interests.

    3. Join forums and bulletins where you can interact with other members, and get to post links.

    4. Post ads on classified ads sites (craigslist is one, US freeads, and others).

    5. Go to Social Marker and create accounts on all the bookmarking sites it submits to, then bookmark your site and posts.

    6. Create a YouTube account and upload review videos of products you wish to promote.

    7. Do article marketing, write articles and submit these articles to article directories.

    8. Create accounts on social sites like squidoo, hubpages, etc... put reviews on these sites and link them to your main review site.

    9. Do blog commenting, try not to spam, contribute valuable info to the blog post, subscribe to high traffic blogs via RSS so as soon as you see a blog you are subscribed to has a new post, be sure to be the first to make a comment.

    10. Submit your main review site RSS feed and the RSS feeds of your social sites to RSS feed directories.

    Remember that each time you upload something to any web property, be sure to ping and bookmark, then ping the pages on the bookmarking sites which have those links, then later bookmark the bookmarking pages, then ping those new bookmarked pages which have those new bookmark links.

    Good luck.. be consistent. There will be times you wonder if you should actually pursue this, but have faith and don't give up.

    Hey,

    I just wanted to express how amazed I am at how friendly this community is. I know a bunch of forums in which nothing like this thread would ever be possible, the best you could expect would be either informationally hollow posts-for-the-sake-of-anything-but-contributing or snaps from smug members. Here it is hugely different - there are real pieces of advice to meet real needs. This is really great, so thank you guys for being like that.
