Over 1 year in internet marketing . From newbie to a less newbie

Over 1 year in internet marketing . What did i made and what did i lose .
From Newbie to lesser newbie . I don't see myself as a guru but sometimes people want to read things from normal users and not from gurus because they make ton's of money
and you stare yourself blind at that . I know i like to read things from starters and what they did


It's over a year now since i wanted to make money online . It was actualy much longer but realy started in Jan 2012 .

• I started of with PPD ( Pay Per Download ) with Fileice

I was a complete noob did not know anything about link building did not own a website knew just a tiny bit of html .But what i did had was the WILL of making money .
I made like 500$ in like 2 months and i was in heaven .
But i wanted more . I knew after some time they got the offers from adscendmedia and such so i assume fileice need a cut so i want to eliminate the middleman .

Second step :
But the money didn't came in fast enough and was reading about CPA .
So i wanted to try that . With no knowledge about CPA i registerd at Maxbounty . I was honest that it was my first network and only did some PPD .
After a few days i got a call from maxbounty with some questions .
Hey , how are you and so on and guesse what i got accepted !!!
Now i needed to advertise and my budget wasn't that high .
I tryed 7 search . Hmz wasn't a big succes but was cheap .
Then of to PPV . I started with mediatraffic.com that was the worst traffic ever . After some reading i got into leadimpact .
I was motivated on maxbounty because if i earned 1.000$ every month for 3 months in a row i would get a bonus of 1.500$
First month i made 1082$ ! 2 more months to go .
I needed more stuff aswell like more decent landing pages and like i sayd before i was not the best coder .
I purchased alot of items aswell like CPVlab for tracking wich is like THE TOOL for tracking .
The 2 months after i made every month over 1.000$ a month with maxbounty . I made it for the BONUS .
I was also reading about CPA networks not paying i was hoping to still get it but i was payed every single week from maxbounty so i had trust and oh yeah an extra 1500$ got deposit .
Made in total over 6.000$ with maxbounty as a complete newbie and proud of it . For some people this may not be alot but it was for me .
I had to stop internet marketing the for personal issues for a few months .

Third Step :

Then i had my eye on adsense and getting a website on the first page .
Also kinda a newbie but again i had the WILL of making money .
I saw that alot of people dropping internet marketing because the money doesn't come in fast enough .
So what did i all try ?
Senuke, magic submitter all those tools . What did that gave me ? NOTHING . It seems so great and perhaps people make succes with it but in my eyes it's SPAM and i did not make any good rankings with it . And if i see it i think google will to .
What should i do now . How do people do it to rank on google . And why does it all cost so much money ?
Then i saw something on the forums here AND with a 15 day trail .
I joined http://www.rankexperts.com used the 15 day trail and had some articles written for me .
Used a brand new site with no linking and wanted to see what it gave . And for the very first time i saw my serp go up and STAY up .
All my posts are placed on PR4 sites wich is so much better then the spam .
Now i finaly can try and make some money after all the money i invested in programs/captcha's/websites/hosting .

My next step .. i think buying aged/high pr domains but not figured it out but the WILL to make money is still here and i won't GIVE UP .

There is so much i could tell but i am not the selling type ( yet )
I am just a normal internet user who wanted to make some money



My Conclusion .

• Don't give up
• To make money you need to invest some . ( perhaps it can without but don't believe in magic )
• Try stuff out and if something doesn't work move on .
• READ READ READ . I never did so much reading in my life . Heck in school i didn't even read but seriously read read ...

And sorry if my English failed sometimes just hope you liked the post
