Use your creativity to come up with something that help people to solve their problems.

You have to be more specific. There are many ways to go about making money online, but the fastest way to generate quick cash is to start promoting affiliate products.

[a2zwebs]

Well, First you need to have something of value that you want to sell someone.

Or you can participate in Affiliate marketing (refer other peoples products) and make money that way. There are alot of free advertising avenues out there... Forums, craigslist.

You kind of need to know what you want to do first.

[chibobski84]

Thanks, Member wing, Izet,

affiliate products, i have never sold 1 product in the internet and possibly because of getting the traffic and the people who would really want to buy it.

Going PPC for it? nope, no money.. Where do I find these guys who would love to buy these product?

hmm... i guess i would have to make a plan for this

Thanks.

Any other ideas that could help me earn my first $$?

Gleb, you hit the nail on the head. With creativity your income level is limitless.

[chibobski84]

Yeah, but the problem is finding the solutions..

maybe i should do some googling.. hehe

[valerieSONORA]

Zero money- blogger blogs, squidoo, and hubpages. They cost nothing to set up.

Zig Ziglar said:
"You can get anything you ever want if you can help enough people to get what they want".
Money is a result of it.
You have to start with question:
"What can I help other people with?".
The money will follow.

You can always do what I did when I was starting out. I went to digitalpoint and started writing articles. It didnt take a couple of hours to get enough money for some domains and hosting. I then kept writing to bring in the funds to continue my IM education.

Once I was satisfied with my cashflow and IM savings from writing, I started IM for myself, and ventured away from freelance work.

[chibobski84]

hmm, yes i agree with you..

Now, i'm going to find some interesting topic that i may help them..

Please do post some more suggestions, so it can be shared with all

[fthomas137]

I would warn you, Internet marketing is not a genie in a bottle, that you can rub when you need money. Yes, you can make money, but it's still hard work. You'll either have to spend money, time or both. Most of the profiting individuals here have worked very, very hard to see success.


If you are looking for a quick fix, then you may be looking in the wrong place.

I would like to see your articles / website, just to see how you do it..

Thanks Frank for the reminder.

(1)the quickest way would be affiliate products; look through CBengine and see which products have a good momentum going on gravity, so you know you'l pick a good procuct.

(2) Your next step is to start generating traffic to your affiliate link; now, with zero money you would have to take a more 'organic' approach. i.e. article marketing, press releases, social networking etc. Normally I would use PPC to generate fast traffic, but you will need to know it may take some time to start generate some decent traffic. you could use other methods such as offline marketing to help boost awareness.

(3) GET PAID !

:-)

[jayden.fellze]

Learn affiliate marketing, or if you have skills in writing, you can apply to become a VA or an article writer,, that would be a good start so you will be trained and learn a lot in IM

[Ricky Martin]

Hey

Member wing , love the post on Zig. great point.

Good suggestions here, do free blogs, free ads at freeads.com good place no cost to join.

Good luck Ricky

[Learnanew]

I would probrably set up a free blogger blog with a unbiased. review of my affiliate product.

Send traffic via forum marketing.

Worked for me when I first started out.

[lantil5]

On the basis I can say only I have some really magic Campaign for PPC that work like Magic . Once you put for Adwords traffic will come like ant & Honey and make cash your affiliate Product.

Those are very good sites to start with...if you have no money.

Another good technique, is to sit down, fire up Open Office, and write up a short report or ebook, and include some affiliate links within your content that directly complement the information being taught.

Then, transfer it to a PDF, and start 'whoring' it out as a bonus for other people's websites, product launches, product packages, WSO's, whatever.

You can even go a step further, and say within the guide that the reader now has "Giveaway Rights" to the report...so they can give it to anyone they please, without fear of getting in legal trouble.

The idea is to simply create a guide w/ affiliate links that's gonna get passed around like a joint at an outdoor concert.

[alexshelton]

Offer a service first dude,

Use that capital once raised to invest in other ventures...

[imac1912]

You should do some research into what people are looking for in the way of answers to problems. Then write some articles about the topic. Set up a blog and point the article readers to that blog. In your blog you should provide the answer by way of getting them to click on your affiliate link to a product.

This product should solve their problem. Hence earn you some money. Sounds simple when put down like this but in practice it requires work. Lots of work.

Hope this proves useful to you.

[Sam Freedom]

I'm not kidding when I say the following:

1. If you have no money, then the first money you DO get needs to go towards your immediate survival... food and shelter, etc.;

2. If your survival needs are met then BEFORE you get any money to put towards internet marketing, you need a PLAN. If you don't have a PLAN, then your first money should be put towards learning from someone who will teach you how to devise a PLAN. If you have no PLAN, then you have no direction and every product's promise will seem to hold an answer for you.

3. Once you have a plan, you should do whatever you legally can to get the needed money to fulfill your plan. That includes, but is not limited to: begging, yard sale, selling your stuff on eBay, selling your stuff on Craigslist, hold a fundraiser and keep 20% for your time and energy, offer friends a return on investment, etc.

Be creative.

And best wishes,
Sam

[Traffic101]

Hi, yeah get a website up, a blog, and go from there. Sell an affiliate product, your own ebook, or get freelancing jobs.

By writing part time, I was able to earn $700 a month with freelance jobs. That way you get money as soon as you complete the project, and you don't have to work as hard as you do with IM.

Good luck.

[Daret]

Offer a lot of value to people that are in need and you'll reach your goals at the same time.

[Aurora2009]

Gleb - awesome post. I wrote "What Can I Help Other People With?" on a post it and stuck it on my computer as a reminder. THAT is the focus.

[chibobski84]

Wow, you guys really gave me some really good ideas!

From blogging, to affiliates, to PPC, to freelancing, (if i missed anything else, sorry, please repost.)

1 important thing is what they NEED? RIght?

So, Lets discuss on what USUALLY people need?

Traffic? Reviews? Guides?

How about PLR products?

[wordsmith101]

Be a freelancer or start your own business online. Starting your own biz online does not require almost any capital not unless you want paid hosting.

[Allegro]

get hosting and a domain. namecheap domains with coupon cost $8.81, the first month of hosting @ hostgator costs $0.01 with coupon. Put up a blog with a nice looking theme (doesnt matter what kind of theme, as long as it looks good), put 5 articles on there and sell it at digitalpoint for $19 BIN. voila, ~$11 earnings in about an hours work. use PD or PLR articles to be even faster (but you may have problems to sell it then in case of PLR lol).

i'm quite interested in freelancing, but don't know where to start with.

Infact, i have 0 knowledge on it. Can anyone please direct me to one of the sites in freelancing? So that i can get a picture of it.

Thanks!

Kinda interesting, good one, but i can find cheaper hosting (my country), selling articles is a good way, What is $19BIN? Sorry Newbie here..

[Allegro]

i doubt you find cheaper hosting than one (1) cent...

$19 Buy It Now Price. Basically you say "Gimme $19 and you can have that page now" and the customer says "HELL YEAH whats your paypal?"

haha, Sorry for that, what i meant is, the 1 cent is probably for the first month is it? (if i'm wrong, pls do tell me ) then the other months would be around $3 - $4 bucks a month, which generally sums up to ($33 -+)

BIN= Buy It Now.. i see. hehe Thanks !

Adsense payout is about $100 and its really hard for normal blogger to reach. yeah..

What about Bidvertiser? I believe its about $10 (think so..)

I'm confused. What's digitalpoint? digitalpoint.com is an enterprise software and services company as far as I can tell. Who would pay $19 for five blog posts? Can you please explain. This seems promising but I don't understand the nitty gritty.

Try elance, odesk, getafreelancer, etc. There are so many sites out there where you can work as a copywriter, virtual assistant, etc. Depends on what skill you have. If you're good with creating programs or softwares or designing sites, then you'll be rich in no time. LOL.

[Allegro]

forums.digitalpoint.com

do the maths. good articles go for around $10 per 300 words, mediocre for as low as $5-7. plus the domain and the hassle for non-techies of the whole configuration and setup. i dont recommend plr btw, but use alot of public domain stuff. i wont go into this in depth now because kneb knebaih has a freaking good WSO running atm for public domain stuff.

good PD articles are usually so much better than your usual $10 articles. sure if someone like Mr Wagenheim writes you an article you have something extremely valuable, but usually worldwide respected authors that died a couple decades ago are much much better than your usual article writer.

[jack_turner]

Hi chibobski84,

I must admit I'm still fairly new to this, but it seems to me some of the best ways to learn and start earning with little money (outside of freelancing which i think is also excellent!) is to do one of several things:

Go to clickbank.com and find products which have a reasonable amount of gravity. This means that they are in demand at present. If you can find a few products in the same market all with reasonable gravity, thats brilliant.

Then set up a free blog at blogger.com, and drive traffic to it. (I'm by no means an expert here but if you search the forum theres loads of tips on this)

Something slightly easier (in my opinion is to write articles around your product and submit them to article directories such as ezine articles. If you hunt around the forum for article marketing or look on google for a free course called 'Bum Marketing' these are good places to start.

Finally if you want to learn with a long term view, Ive just started beasting my way through Ed Dale's 2008 Thirty Day Challenge (Thirty Day Challenge) which in my personal opinion is a great way to learn, and I've noticed that a lot of people on the warrior forum speak highly of it. There's a wealth of video training and accompanying PDF's on there ALL FREE!

When you start looking at IM its easy to wear rose tinted glasses when you hear about people having thousands drop into there account while they sleep. I think like anything its achievable but it times time and commitment, but can be done with a surprisingly low start up budget!

Hope this helps a bit, good luck

Jack

[peter gibson]

@Jack @ OP,

I certainly vouch for the thirty day challenge, if only as a excellent IM fundamentals course. It is completely free and worth more than a good number of the paid courses you find.

Don't get me wrong, there are some real gems out there that are worth paying for. But as a newb in IM, you likely won't know where to look for them right away. That's why Ed's course is such a gem. It gives you immediate forward momentum and just from following the course you are learning how to properly research.

My 0.02 cents

I don't think making money with google adsense is very difficult when you know how to get high pay google adsense keywords list and write a good contect of article in the website with the keywords you selected and also write about 10 good article on those keywords and submit them to article directory to generate traffic to the website.....

Earning from adsense is not easy anymore. It's a combination of numbers, being very careful not to violate T.O.S. and finding low competition/reasonable paying keywords. Having high paying keywords won't matter much if you can't rank due to competition. It's certainly not impossible, just look at Steve Crooks 100 buck challenge blog and the relevant thread here on WF. Follow me to $100 a day in Adsense in 3 months from 1 blog

I wouldn't suggest anyone try to depend on this as an immediate source of income, but if you can set up 1 good adsense site you can cover your domain and hosting costs for the year easily - while you concentrate on bigger and better things.

Here are a couple of quick cash generators... but they involve the dreaded four letter word many loathe, WORK. However, if you're are afraid of a little work, then these will work. You should alreay have everything you need or the means to get it.

1. Get on your computer and whip out a flyer that says "Wide Angle Security Peepholes Installed"... Only $25! Your name and phone number.

Print out 25 or as many as you'd like on your printer. Now hop in your vehicle and head to the nearest new subdivision in your local area and as you ride through, you'll note that many, if not most of the newly built homes do not have peepholes. Just leave a flyer with each one of them, and you'll probably have calls for orders before you can get home.

Go to each of the homes that called and let then know that you will provide high security wide angle peepholes installed for only $25. Set an appointment time and take a $10 deposit from each. Now head over to your local hardware store or Walmart and purchase the peepholes which should run you less than $5 each from the $10 deposit you got from each customer.

You'll need your drill with 1/2 inch bit, and wide tip flat screwdriver. These are tools which most of us already have around the house. The installation of each peephole shouldn't take you no more than half hour per stop. At which time you'll collect your other $15 and move on to the next home. this should have you pulling down an average of $40.00 an hour.

Installation Tip: Install peepholes at eye level of the shortest adult member of the household.

2. Join your local FreeCycle organization online. Put in a "Wanted" request for used magazines. Now get on your computer and structure a simple contract to provide a monthly magazine subscription service for $35/month.

Stop by all the local doctor and chiropractor offices in your area and leave them a copy of a flyer announcing your magazine subscription service along with a copy of the contract attached.(Both of which you created and printed on your home computer and printer).

You should be getting a lot of responses from your old magazin want ad, so go pick them up. As you get signed contracts from the doctors and chiropractors, you simply drop off about 10 different magazines at each office. Next month, you rotate the magazines from one office to another office.

It doesn't matter how old the magazines are, they just need something to occupy their patients' time while they wait and paying only $35 a month for subscription service to 10 different magazine a month is a real bargain to them.

Each stop should take you about 15 minutes to collect last month's magazines and leave a new batch... so this is earning you $35 for the 15 minutes at each location, multiplied by the number of locations you service which will grow each month if you desire.

These are samples of the quick cash plans and ideas I get each month from a great membership, and I thought I'd share them with you.

[Allegro]

oh and you should perform a search on all posts of "Keith Kogane" that guy is worth gold...

[Maria Gudelis]

Another Fast Cash Strategy - have a smokin special to offline clients!

Walk into local businesses, or call up every realtor in your city offering a 'one day pre-April fools" special...

"Get a $1,500 website and social media package from me for only $500...only offering up 10 of these specials and 4 left...Take Action Now so I can get your business online and you start making money while you sleep!"

[john.ordos]

Hey mates,

I dont know you but this is what am i doing + ACTION.

1) I get any of CPA offers. Pay per lead shud be great.
2) I go for the dating, ringtones offers that pays good.
3) I create social site like Facebook. Lets start with 5 hot blonde woman profiles.
4) Adding up content can be real bored, go copy it (Grey Hat)
5) You can adding hot man around. Go for 50-100 each profiles.
6) Adding up text when requesting friend like "Hey, me and friends saw your cute profiles, thought we can invite you for our party this weekend. We gonna talk bout this awesome night in (Your Affiliate Link (Redirect with Great Domain Shud Be Great))
7) Watch the stat in your affiliate company. See how it goes and tweak here and there.

Try that buddy...
