    Remember it's about business, not internet marketing per se. Do your research. Stop before you reach analysis paralysis and test, test, test.

    The first thing you should start with is getting a domain and hosting service. Having your own website is not 100% necessary, but you will find that it will make a big difference in the long run.

    Then build a site or a blog around the niche and start adding content and ways to monetize your new site.

    Then it is all about driving the traffic.

    Even though this all sounds simple enough, be ready to put in a lot of work before you start seeing a profit.

    I say get some hosting, think about which niche you want to start in. This is the most important part. Choose a niche that is profitable, specially in these times!

    Start building a list in said niche, start emailing list with good important information. Rinse and repeat.

    BUT... and this is a big but... what do you want to do?
    adsense? plr? offline marketing? web design? seo? copywriting? authority sites?

    Once you have this figured out, the rest will come.

    Remember your niche is the MOST important!!

    The best thing to do is attempt to do something that you think might work and allow yourself to do it wrong. It takes a few screw ups to get things right.

    Pick one thing and stick with it. Focus is the key no matter what road you take, as if you do not focus and build on that focus you will get overloaded as you have and get nothing done.

        I would focus your effort on getting traffic, building a list, and promoting products to that list in one of the major markets: health, wealth, relationships.

        And try not to get caught up spending too much time in the tasks that don't directly get traffic such figuring out what themes, hosting, graphics to use etc. Just get out there and start marketing for traffic!

    I suggest starting with building a squeeze page and a valuable product to collect emails. This is the most valuable asset any internet marketer should have and should continue to build on.

    As you are building your list, take one project on at a time. Trying to complete too many tasks at one time can have you feeling overloaded and stressed.

    I believe you just need a time to digest all those stuff before you get constipated with a lot of ideas. I believe by now you have already acquired the necessary info so start doing a plan and test it. It doesn't have to be perfect but you'll get to test it (better than not doing anything). That way you will see what you need to improve...

    Clarity is a HUGE part of IM success. It's so simple when you know it -- and darn difficult when you don't! I owe my mentors a world of thanks for bringing this clarity.

    IM is actually pretty simple: you can sell only one of two things:

    1. Products
    2. Services

    That's it!

    And selling products or services online happens in the same basic way for everyone, no matter what they're selling:

    Traffic > Opt-in page > Autoresponder series (or e-zine) > Sales page

    That's it! It's just that simple. (We IMers tend to overcomplicate things.)

    But no matter what your niche is, or whether you're selling a product or a service, do you know what your business model is?

    A business model is the framework or skeleton of your business. Essentially there are three types of online business models:

    1. Membership-based model

    A membership-based business model allows you to build a community of people (your members) who are as passionate about your subject as you are. Your membership fees can be monthly or annual, but either way, you're building recurring, passive income.

    There are a lot of resources and information out there to help you build a membership-based business if you're interested in doing this.

    2. Product-based model

    Selling products allows you to maximize your time and effort by selling items over and over again. This can be hard goods or it can be information products. Information marketing is it's own business model under the product-based model. Information marketing allows you to take your brain to the bank by creating a product ONCE based on what you know and selling it over and over again.

    Affiliate marketing falls under both models. You can choose to market either products or services as an affiliate.

    3. Service-based model

    Selling services can be great for 1) generating quick cash (as in the case of article writing or video producing) and 2) establishing your expertise and getting testimonials.

    However, in the long run, your goal should be to offer services at a PREMIUM. The biggest advantage of IM is LEVERAGE. You're able to leverage your time, money and expertise exponentially online. We all have just 24 hours each day. Time to get ruthless about what you expect for those hours you spend in IM each day. Expect more of yourself and more from your business friends, clients, partners, etc.

    What results are you getting for those hours you spend online each day? Ultimately, your services should be at the bottom of your funnel and cost the most since they involve your time and personal attention. (We all have a limited amount of time each day.)

    The fun (and confusion) comes in with all of the endless mix-and-match possibilities of the above models. If you're just starting or still struggling to make money, keep it simple:

    Pick just ONE!

    1. Pick ONE niche. (Something you're interested in and know something about.)

    2. Pick ONE target market for your product or service. (Who will buy what you're offering? The more specific you are, the more you narrow it down, the more successful you'll be.)

    3. Pick ONE business model.

    Now that you're clear about what business you're in, FOCUS! (And stop buying any info not related to your niche and target market, period!)

    F -- Follow
    O -- One
    C -- Course
    U -- Until
    S -- Successful

    And remember: build a list, Build a List, BUILD A LIST!

    In IM, it's easy to put the cart before the horse. Take a deep breath, step back and consider what type of business you REALLY want. Don't worry about getting traffic or buying that expensive traffic product until you know 1) what your business model is, 2) what niche you're in and 3) WHO your target market is!

    Successful business people will tell you that MARKETING is more than half the effort that's needed for success anyway. So pick a niche, target market and business model. Then spend most of your time and effort marketing it.

    If you DON'T have a solid plan or system, THAT'S when it's hard. A good system will shave YEARS (and save you big $$$) off of your learning curve

    That's why I recommend investing in at least one good, comprehensive IM course (or mentor who will give you such a system) instead of jumping from one $37 e-book to the next. A lot of people here complain about not being able to make any money. But neither are they willing to invest in their business. (Buying a random bunch of $37 e-books doesn't count.)

    The best thing I ever did was invest in a comprehensive IM course aimed at REAL business owners, not just other IM wannabes. Yes it was $1500. (It's no longer available.) But it was truly some of the best A-Z IM info I ever bought. Everything else I've learned (from the $37 e-books) since has simply been plugged into this system.

    Get a solid plan or system and then work the plan!

    Hope this helps!

    I would just choose a single niche if you are on overload. That niche could be one you choose from a CPA network or affiliate program.

    Then get a domain with an exact match domain (or at least the keyword in the domain). By the way, these used to just jump to the top of Google, but not anymore, at least for me.

    Finally, add unique content, and really use Fiverr to your advantage. So many gigs there will index your site for you, submit articles, build backlinks. You might spend $100 on everything you need, but you also save yourself hours, if not days, of work. If your niche is a desperate one (like acne, yest infections, payday loans, etc), and you have a longtail keywords for a domain, it will probably do well. Remember, it's hit and miss. You never know what Google is happy with. The key is to be consistent, and utilize your time wisely, which means using other people and their marketing abilities whenever possible.

    I would start off with traffic. You can have the best product or squeeze page... but if nobody sees it, then what good is it? Start with free marketing before you through paid advertising into the mix.
