Newbie Formula -will it work

With resources like that, I think you need to make a plan and expect some income 60 or 90 days from now. Winging it and hoping money will come from any ol' report will never work. Just take a course and stick with it for a while.
Your plan should also include PAYING for certain things like traffic. Not now, of course, but if you ever expect real success, you will ultimately have to come out of pocket to feed your business .

Looks like you are not really familiar with web design.

If I may, suggest, try to invest $147 for a niche-web design. There is web designer in the WSO section named Verena. She's very professional and can design awesome niche websites in a week. She also provides unique content based on your keywords. I am one of her satisfied customers therefore I recommend her.

If you have no idea about how to build a website and the technical stuffs, outsource. If you try to do it on your own, then you will waste time and energy.

To be blunt, you need at least $800 to kick start an internet business. This is for building website, buying necessary tools, outsourcing and getting paid traffic.

It's normal to be frustrated because at first there is a lot to read. I would suggest reading more on different income streams, seeing what interests you. It's absolutely normal to dish out money in the beginning because you see first hand what works and what doesn't. When something doesn't work you start asking the right questions (hence this post).

For your blog you need to look into how to get traffic to it. Look for free traffic sources first that's targeted. How are you currently monetizing from your site? How do you plan on monetizing from your site? Are you a consultant, a professional in the field? Maybe you should look into building a list, and try and scale it to 5000+. You can make good money on that in several ways. Maybe look into offering a free eBook or something of value to make people join.

Personally the blog is dull, you have many grammar mistakes and don't even capitalize on your words after a sentence which makes you lose credibility. Not attacking you but this does drop your visitors. You also want to make the look more appealing, look into websites that convert or retain visitors and see what they do. Check out websites with low bounce rate.

There's still a lot to learn, but you need to have patience. This is key, if you come here looking to get to point C and you haven't even got to point A you will be like the rest of people looking to make money online but haven't found a way for the past 3 years and get frustrated.

I think you're asking the right questions. Keep being resilient and you'll find what you're looking for.

Best,

I see lack of confidence in your post, A drought of it.

Your problem: You're changing money making streams very quickly before getting the profits. How will you make money if you keep the work half done, Where is the patience?

see?
And made no money. You don't expect anything from this method too?

I will highly recommend you to stick on one process at a time. Don't get confused. just pick up the easy one, of your interest and start working on it until you get success.

Good luck!

If you are good with web design, then design some awesome templates for 5 or 10 niches and sell them. This is much more profitable for you too.

Hi Redfinger,

1. Get into a HUGE NICHE with plenty of buyers

2. BUILD A LIST around that niche

3. Get them onto your list by offering something FREE that is high in demand
and is of high quality and is useful

4. Offer paid products at the back end of your sales funnel

5. Offer recurring paying products that pay YOU every month
into your sales funnel.

Keep building your email list, add products to your funnel, test,
tweak until you see GREATER CONVERSIONS from your traffic.

Testing is everything!

Test your squeeze page, test different price points on your sales pages,
test your email messages.

TEST, TEST, TEST!

Sorry that this isn't anything you were originally looking at but it will
save you months of frustration of finally figuring out that building
a list in a spending niche is the way to go.

Learn as much as you can about list building and creating products
as you can my friend.

You are at the right place for that!

Have a great Friday.
Regards
Gavin

To win with any form of marketing or traffic generation, you need one of two things: Money or time.

If you have TIME to do the tedious B.S. like research, design, link development, etc. and can understand how search engines "think" you can make as much money as you want. It's a long road, and you will go through a lot of trial and error - mostly error - but you will learn a lot and in a couple years what's currently daunting will seem simple.

Or, you can save up a real budget - $50 isn't enough - and pay someone to do all of that crap for you. You can pay developers, you can pay marketers, you can pay strategists, and let them figure out the details.

Most of us started with a lot of time and not a lot of money, and if we were successful we ended up with a lot of money and not a lot of time. In the 15 years I've been doing this, there are a few things I've learned:

1. There is no magic formula that you just "haven't figured out yet". None.

2. The people who seem to make money today without doing any work had to do a lot of work to get there.

3. Everyone who is "known" in their field was once an unknown. No one "got lucky" - they took deliberate action to become successful.

4. The people who can make $20K in an afternoon by sending out an email didn't get that list from crap resources like Fiverr, 7search, etc. and they didn't do it by giving away PLR content. They built it by offering something of value.

5. It's OK to quit. All the time you see people saying crap like "Never give up!" - it's B.S. Not all strategies will work. Not all strategies that worked for someone else will work for you. You have to know when to fold.

6. Learn how to budget - both your time and your money. Allocate a certain amount of money to promoting something new, and stick with that amount no matter how well or poorly it does. It should be at least $1,000 worth of marketing dollars (for reference, my own test marketing campaigns are no less than $10K). But whatever that budget is, stay the course until you've spent it all and review your results. If you did well, repeat it. If you did poorly, you'll understand why.

7. Don't spread your marketing budget out too thin, you won't get enough data to understand why it didn't work. If you take $1,000 and allocate it to one source, you will know whether that source is a good or bad investment by the time you've spent through it. If you split it up among 5 or 6 different ad sources, you aren't giving any of them enough of a chance to know if their traffic converts. You'll lose it all.

8. Multivariate Test the shit out of everything. Buyers from different traffic sources convert differently for different reasons. A person on Facebook is in a completely different mindset than a person searching on Google, so a page that converts well for one source of traffic may perform horribly for another source. Test different sales copy, different colors and styles, different placement of elements on a page. You'll be surprised how the most insignificant things, like the color of a button or whether a logo is on the left or the right, can affect the conversion rates of your pages.

9. Track and measure everything. You need to be able to understand your data - take a course in Google Analytics if you need to. Click data only shows you what you're doing "right", you need to understand where people aren't clicking and why.

10. Visit the WSO section, but do it ONLY to LOOK. You don't know what you want yet, and you will be mesmerized by wordsmiths like me who know how to get inside your head and make you buy something. DON'T buy anything. But DO read the sales pages - when you see one that makes you want to buy it, stop. Analyze the words, the phrasing, the color scheme, the use of bold and highlighted text. Understand what it's doing and why it works, then follow the same method on your own pages. All of the SEO, marketing, etc. in the world is no substitute for good copywriting.

I took a look at your site, and maybe I'm missing something.... where's the monetization method?

I see you're posting articles, but what's your plan to make money?

You'll never make any money is you aren't monetizing your site. The insurance niche pays big money for adsense clicks... you should have adsense optimized all over the place on that blog.

Can you make money with it, sure. Will you without trying to? Never.

You gotta put a lot of energy into appearance dude. Even if you have great content, you people are gonna leave if your site is an eyesore

The best strategy is :
Find a longtail keywords
write usefull article about it,ping it
Before you must have a professional design for your website to attract more buyers.

I just tried going to your link (http://insuranceteller.blogspot.com/) and am getting a "blog not found".

I hope they did not ban your account?

In my opinion, I would get focused on only one niche for now, and stay consistent in your blogging, marketing, prospecting etc.. The real formula to your success is hard work, consistency, determination, and motivation.

The best place to start off online is ALWAYS a marketplace such as Ebay or Fiverr. All the marketing is already done for you. Experiment with everything else on the side until you get a hit.

I would not even think of using Adwords, Insurance keywords have some of the highests cpc's.

Neat. But try to write/buy some original content.

Before you'll burn your money again, I suggest you to focus how to get fast cash for your money in your wallet. Paid traffic is not recommended if you are desperate.

What ever you do STOP jumping from one thing to another! I'll give you a tip! It does not matter what opportunity or product. Its all done the same way! The key with online marketing is yes traffic and the 2nd thing is conversion. Also understand that it does not happen fast if you are new. There are many traffic strategies both free and paid. I suggest starting out using the free methods which work just as well by the way and learn to send that traffic to your webpages and then getting them to convert. Once you do that then you can start scaling and testing with paid sources once you have something you know is converting. Also as you get more experience you can use ppc to test the coversions real fast of your web pages.

Try to make more visible. You have to work, a way long journey. Get ready to pay for more traffic. Do not worry, Everybody was a beginner at some point of time.
