On the brink of action... Which path?

Hello fellow Warriors,

If you could take the time to read the following... that would be greatly appreciated.

I need guidance from people who have 'been there and done that'.

I am on the brink of action but I just need some more genuine expertise to help me.

Here is my current situation:

- I am 17 years young - I pulled out of college because it was not for me (not for academic reasons)
- I have all the time in the world to get this going
- People around me are supportive of my aspiration towards I.M. but are wary that it may be a 'pipe dream'
- I am an extremely quick learner and take everything I do to the next level
- I have rested everything on my success and have become obsessed with I.M.
- Information overload and too much choice is rife at the moment
- I have every book imaginable on I.M.
- I have read countless self-help/success books

What I need:

- A system/method/concept that I will delve/dive into that can be scaled and researched heavily.
- Some proof that Internet Marketing is not a fallacy (so I can get more backing from my family and close friends)
- Genuine and honest guidance from fellow warriors as to what I should do to take my business from an idea to a plan to a reality
- A recommendation, based on my other needs above, on what course or books I should read (as I said: Time is not a problem nor is money towards a course)

At the moment a direction amongst the clutter of the internet seems like solving the da Vinci code on my own, so all I ask is for assistance from the experienced.

Many thanks, if you have any further questions PM me.

I look forward to the responses, it means the world to me.

    I'm virtually in the same situation as you. All I can recommend is TAKING ACTION. Stop reading books. Here's what you're going to do.

    You're going to start a blog on a topic you like that is also profitable. You're going to build an email list and you're going to write your own excellent products to sell to those people. You're going to research copywriting and write an excellent sales page and you're going to spend 10 hours a day backlinking and generating organic traffic.

    Do that and when the money comes in, do your first PPC campaign. Track it with Analytics and see if you're making more than you invest. If so, upscale.

    Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

        Rules are created for a reason, if more people would actually pay attention or report violations it would benefit us all.

        Note* I feel sorry for the OP but the under 18 rule as i understand is enforced because if you are under 18 years of age you cannot enter into a binding contract.

    Hey Tuzio,

    For being a success in IM, the foremost important thing is to get under wings of a Mentor who is IM Guru. There would be many people suggesting different options thats the best, but once you have the right teacher, you know how to proceed. Once you good sales figure then you can try to figure out other methods.

      I aced college but flake on everything since so that's an unfair assessment.

      I disagree, from the sound of it Tuzio dropped college to start in this business.

      Good luck to him whatever he does.

    ... When will people understand that sometimes lying is the best option available.

    Good luck to all young internet marketers!
