If a friend needed to make 3,000 per month what programs would you suggest?

[Craig Fenton]

Hi John:

Thank you for the reply and giving a product name that you feel is advantageous to plug. Between the myriad of ideas that are free and the budget they have, there is no reason they can't achieve their goals. I'm glad you found strong belief in a product.

Have a great day!

Just buying some IM course without knowing what they want to learn could really set them back. (No disrespect to the folks here selling legitimate info - much disrespect for the clown with the MMM naked affiliate link.)

Craig, where do I gain any advantage for recommending a product, which I believe is part of what you asked for in your original post?

With the knowledge you have been afforded what Internet Marketing and related programs would you suggest they try?

Where is the "plug"?

There is no link, affiliate or otherwise. There is no link in my sig, for any product.

Since you seem to think I have some ulterior motive here, I'll simply wish you and your neighbor luck - you are going to need it.

[Craig Fenton]

Hi John:

Sorry the words were taken incorrectly. I was giving you a thanks! It was a comment that I appreciated you had something to recommend from real world experience. I even thanked you for the post. Never would I make a negative comment on the forum. Not my style.

Thanks and have a great day!

[Craig Fenton]

Hi again John:

Sent you a private message as well so that you understand I appreciate you helping the neighbors and got a thank you along the way. Words can often be looked at with open interpretation, I should have rephrased the post. Never would I be ungrateful for somebody taking time to help another family (my neighbors). Have a fantastic evening!

That's one of the limitations to a text-only medium, I guess. You lose the context of expression and tone.

No harm, no foul.

I wish you well...

[Craig Fenton]

Hi John:

I'm glad you got back to me so quickly, I wanted to make sure everything would be rectified. You are right, a post or an email can be seen one way and if it is different than the intention until an explanation is rendered there could be hard feelings.

I feel 100000 x better now. With the amount of quality posts you have (over 1000) your replies are welcome always!!

Have a fantastic night.

[JK Nyerere]

I would suggest get a second job.

I actually started here on the Warrior Forum - charged $25 per article to start as I recall - but I was a newspaper reporter for many years so I used that as a reason to charge more than the average.

I know that Tiffany Dow started on freelance sites - I think elance.com. From what I gather, she started out by providing killer quality and not charging a lot, got great testimonials, and was able to raise her prices.

Once you get some customers who give you good feedback, and testimonials, you're golden. It's like anything else - when you're just starting out, you can't charge as much. When I started out as a reporter, I literally waitressed to support myself and did a free internship at a newspaper until I had clips and a reference.

When you are brand new at anything, you have to prove yourself and work for very little at first, and then you can start raising your prices.

[Loren Woirhaye]

Since your friend/client is only placing a $200 value on
a business projected to earn $36k per year I would
suggest you stop telling this person about internet
marketing because you will be expected to mentor
the person for free, taking valuable time away from
building your own business.

That $200 would be well-spent buying books on how to
succeed in direct marketing or learn the relevant skills
that make money in business.

Usually when people are hoping to launch a business
with such unrealistic expectations they are poorly-
informed in basic areas pertaining to home-business
success - but they'll soak up the hours of attention
you spend telling them the basics.

In the sales world this is called "unpaid consulting".

Look thru the WSO section and see what you can come up with. Some pretty good products there.

[Craig Fenton]

Hi Dana:

Thank you! You bring up a great point not only potentially for my neighbors (they will appreciate it as I do) but for the great Warriors too. Could you give us an indication or a way of gagging what somebody would charge on average for an article (E-Lance for instance) if they were:
New
Medium Experience
Heavy Experience

Would owners of blogs look for posts as well on a paid basis?

Thank you as always for your wonderful insight! Have a great week.

[Craig Fenton]

Hi Loren:

Hope you are well. Sometimes the amount an individual places on an object, project, etc. isn't because of looking to take a short cut. It is very possible if the neighbor had 750.00 dollars they would invest that into the idea of an internet/home business. It may not be that they have less desire but not the income.

There are times somebody can succeed because their eyes and ears are open. Is it possible that they could take the 200.00 budget as well as free information and earn 902.00 dollars. Then take 702.00 for their savings and invest another 200.00 in the business? I have to believe not every person that ever made a good profit had good spending income the first time around.

Thanks for your insight and I hope the coming week is great!

[gr8tocre8]

Craig,
How about incentive freebie websites via forum traders? I did this when I was flat broke about two years ago for about a week and earned around $500 before my head exploded, lol.

It will not make them rich, and there is a lot of work involved, but training is free and pretty good too. There's no residual income here - this is as close as you're going to get to a "real job" online, but it does work. For more info, check my signature link.

[Craig Fenton]

Thanks for an idea that hasn't been mentioned yet to the neighbors.

I am going to follow your link and pass the information on.

May the coming week be productive and excellent.

[TimG]

Here is what I would receommend:

1 - They join the following membership site: www.earn1kaday.net
2 - They spend a weekend reading everything in that forum
3 - Pick one of the products that is provided as a perk for being a member
4 - Promote that product and make money (between that forum and this forum and their reading homework they should know what to do)

The information above is very basic in nature but if they follow it and truly commi themselves they will see results and get a heck of a lot smarter on IM.

After 30 days if they work as a team they will be able to start realizing their incoem goals.

Tim

Hi Tim:

Thanks for sharing the information this morning. What have you found in particular that makes Earn 1 K A Day something that would benefit my neighbors and us Warriors as well? I am clicking the link in 30 seconds to see what it is all about.

Have a fantastic week.

There are many reasons but here are just a few:

1 - The owner (Dennis) purchases lots of products that allow him the rights to pass on to his members. In some cases the members can use the actual product and make money with it.

2 - The forums members are extremely forthcoming in their postings and helpful. Many examples of what is being done to make money.

3 - It is a good balance to this forum (between the two forums you have everthing you need to succeed online).

Don't get me wrong, there are several other forums that offer good info also and can be just as helpful to your neighbors such as Wealthy Affiliate, Niche Rockets...etc

No matter which membership they choose they will still need to spend a weekend just reading, taking notes, soaking information in and finally outlining some battle plans to pursue.

Tim

[Craig Fenton]

Hi Tim:

Thank you for such a detailed and articulate response. It seems that they must have great credibility because somebody that has over 1000 posts and knows the industry took the time to talk about their membership forum.

It is greatly appreciated and will give the neighbors the links.

Have a great Monday!

No problem......glad to help - Without question, this forum is probably the BEST Internet marketing forum on the Internet but I think you always need to balance a free forum with a paid forum because sometimes there are some things not mentioned in a free environment.

Also, it would be darn near impossible to try and read everything in this forum but a smaller forum such as the other 3 I mentioned would not take as long to research through. This allows you to quickly find some valid methods and then implement them to make money.

Hey Craig, just for starters, I'd try to find projects that others need help with. They'll pay your neighbors once they complete the project (project could be writing articles, submitting content, making a video, etc.). I know quite a few people that make 5 figures a month just job hunting. Then I'd find a good converting Clickbank or Paydotcom product and promote it via solo ads and cheap PPC. Your neighbours should spend 20-25% of their project earnings on solo ads and cheap PPC. Just another method that has worked well for me.

[Craig Fenton]

Hi again Tim:

I am glad you helped because you are teaching me some great tips and the post is to help the neighbors! The idea of mixing a paid forum with a free one as well as the article writing, and E-Lance post, are creating interesting possibilities for the neighbors!

Enjoy the day.

[joannabenz]

I would recommend that a newbie start off with Site Build It. After a lot of research, I could only find positive feedback about their program. And it provides an excellent education while you are building your business.

The cost is about $300, unless you discover a special sale or get a price break from one of their affiliates. Then the cost might be as low as $150.

Extremely Generous!!!

[Craig Fenton]

Hi Joanna:

Thanks for your response for my neighbors. Yes, Site Build It as a company has tremendous feedback. The one thing my neighbor would have to keep in mind is that is only the foundation because Site Build It will give you the website, Search Engine Optimization, etc but not the product itself. You never see a bad word about them in print.

I'll pass this on and have a great day.

[Craig Fenton]

Thanks for the reply and the additional sites.

Have a fantastic Monday!

[andrewharrison]

There is a GREAT program, and ALL successful warriors have taken it. They just won't tell you. . . so I will spill the beans. . . It's called, "The Work Your Butt Off Until Your Eyes Bug Out Of Your Head."

Just my humour for the day, I could not resist. . .

I'd have them start building their list. Using the $1 per subscriber per month rule, they would only need to get around 3,000 active subscribers.

Tell them to build a relationship with their list and start learning to craft emails promoting affiliate products. You can direct them to utube where they can learn how to list build for free.

Tell them to copy the gurus! See what they promote and how they promote it. Get on all their lists!
