Tell me what you think of my action plan

This my new action plan:

First I going to find a niche that I fill comfortable with.

Second I will find some solo ads that are in the niche that I want to advertise two.

Third I will outsource some review videos for the products that I have choose.

After I have done this I will track to see my results. (Even tho I cant decide on a third traffic source right now.)

So that is my action plan but the only problem is that I do not now a good niche to get involved with. There is a wso on the market here that has a part in it where he is suppose to show us some good niches to get involved in. I guess I am on the right track. I hope to make some sales soon because I do need extra money. But so far this is the only way that I see that is about to make money.

    Not sure what you are trying to do, but becareful with solo ads, there is alot of scams out there. There is a good chance you won't make any sales from a solo ad, so find other forms of traffic also, like PPC.

      I think you have a good mindset. Although you could come up with a totally proven way, what you think still can happen with constant action though.

      My point of view is like this:

      1) I would start off with my own niche website.
      2) I would then drive free traffic to it by offering quality content without promotion while branding myself all at the same time.
      3) I would blog everyday on my site off of keywords that are low competition.
      4) Then I would start to monetize off of my site in other words make money.
      5) Keep Posting Daily!

        What do you mean I could come up with a totally proven way?

    This marketing plan can work... would need lots of testing when it comes to squeeze page and emails. I would try it in the Forex niche.

    - dont just find a niche that you'll feel comfortable, i mean, feeling comfortable is good but you should also consider if the niche would really sell and that you wont find a hard time earning.

    I agree in that you should find a niche that you like. You will find being able to write about that is so much easier, when you do. Sometimes you have to take a step back and list what you like. Some people call it a brain dump. It really helps. You just put things on to a paper you would be amazed what you come up with. Best of luck.

    Make sure there is money in your comfortable niche. It also is a bit of a risk to outsource the videos and buy solo ads, without knowing what products convert.

    You could very easily end up spending much more than you make.

    I do hope it works for you though if this is your current plan.

    Pick a niche - go to magazines dot com, visit local mag stands
    Build a list - create a one page website with an optin form for emails
    Sale - promote related products to your email list

    Don't be afraid of free marketing. It does work. Stay away from traffic exchanges for traffic. There's a .000001% chance that you won't make money from it. Test your solo ad sources low and slow. Consider PPC (Adwords in particular), and market your site everyday. How much money do you have to put into advertising?

    Once your website is created, you will want to focus the majority of your time on traffic generation activities that will help to drive more targeted traffic to your website. There are many different methods to drive traffic to your website and you will want to stay focus on mastering one method at a time so that you will not be suffering from information overload.

    The biggest problem with information overload is that you will be so confused that you do not know the next action that you need to take. I make the mistakes of not focusing on one method at a time and it wastes lot of my time.

    I hope you do not make the same mistakes too.

      Your action plan is pretty general. Its my hope though that you understand that there are several steps involved in each point you have listed. That means if you don't do them properly, you'll be setting up yourself for failure.

      For example, if you don't understand how to do proper market research to find a profitable niche then everything else will fail..

      If you don't know how to do email marketing then buying solo ads will make no sense and just be a waste of your money..

      Not discouraging you but I just want you to understand that this is a business and it takes time, effort and strategic marketing to become successful.

        Write good quality content, use article marketing and social networking to drive traffic. Stick with this until you see results.

    It looks like the clear message here is to use free marketing and see if you can make some sales before you spend too much.

    A lot of people o n this forum spend a lot and don't earn nearly as much as they spend.

    We are trying to help you avoid these pitfalls.

    Being in a niche that you're comfortable with (or passionate about) is great.

    But it MUST be a niche that people are proven to spend money in: one in which there are massive numbers of eager buyers in, who've already spent good money on similar products and services that you're intending to promote.

    People often credit the late Steve Jobs (RIP) with "innovation".

    Yet in reality, he'd go into markets (such as music, mobile/cell phones) which already had MILLIONS of proven buyers in them to start with.

    Think about it.

    His innovation came from creating superior products and services.

    "Today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone" - Steve Jobs

    Even if you're going to be promoting as an affiliate and review products, find ones which are great - superior to everything else - and make clear why they're better and a must have.
