What to do if you're desperate?

Hey Balves,
I understand your frustration. All of the big marketers say that traffic is easy even though they all sell products about traffic. Personally, though, I found traffic to be ever elusive.
I think the fastest way to $100 a day is either to do services or create a WSO. Since you have some video creation experience, you might try that. I would create thread in the Warriors for Hire section to create videos. I'm not sure what your level of experience with video is, but if you can just create some good Powerpoint videos, you could get a cheap voiceover on Fiverr, create the video yourself and sell for around $20. Just create some great samples, post them on your sales thread, respond to everyone on your sales thread. Simply from the traffic on the Warriorforum, you should get some sales. Also, you could then do some forum marketing on the WF with your signature pointing back to the thread. You could also offer to do some discounted videos to influential warriors in exchange for some good reviews.
Another way is to create a WSO and get some good JV's for your launch. I just went through Russ Ruffino's Money Tree Method (available as a WSO) and it is excellent. In fact, I am acting on the info from that right now. I'll try to remember to let you know my results.
Hope this helps! The main thing is --- DON"T GIVE UP!! The big break is just around the corner!

If people take that literally, you'll get few replies, Bernardo.

I'm not trying to be unhelpful, but the reality is that different things work for different people, and it may well be that you've previously made money from things that other people haven't made money from, and that you've already tried and not made money from things from which other people have made money. In fact, I'd be surprised if that weren't the case. So how can people know with 100% certainty that whatever they suggest is going to work for you?

If it helps you at all, this is how I make a living and I spent less than $100 setting it up. But I have no idea whether it will work for you. Like almost everything, it depends on one's skills.

If, as you imply, you're really short of money for everday living, it may well be that several of the ideas in this thread could be more suitable for you than investing your last $250 in some new venture that may or may not "work"?: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...desperate.html

Also, if you are low on funds, this is a good thread to check out as well.

Have you tried or thought about creating a site in Portugese? I don't think I can spell it, let alone know if the traffic converts well, but it's something I'd look into.

I'd also think about offering services like someone else mentioned, but focus on how you could help some local companies get ranked and get more leads(they really only care about the leads!)

But to do that, you'd need to market online and offline optimally and if it isn't something you've yet had success with, I'd recommend starting in a niche you're knowledgeable about and building traffic. Email autoresponders convert better.. but a few banners on a niche site convert too.

You don't have to be the best from the beginning.. you just need to get out there and start getting some conversions and driving some traffic.

Traffic isn't 'difficult to find' it's just time consuming and real work to create the content needed to drive that traffic.

Is online marketing something you're really interested in doing, or is the idea of working online what you like? Answer that honestly and decide if this is really something you want to do with your life.

If it is, look at it as a real business and not a way to make easy money. You've already learned it isn't easy money.

Website flipping. You dont need traffic for that

Thank you all for your words and support!

Create products that solve people's biggest problems. It's worked for the last 50 years and will work for the next 50.

So now get to work.

All money is made the same way, it isn't by creating videos or posting back links or building websites. It is the process of buying something for cheap and selling it for substantially more. That sounds too simple for people, almost elusive but it gets to the point of where you need to focus. You need to start by establishing what you can buy for substantially less than the market is paying for it. The simple reality is if someone else is already buying something and you can buy it for substantially less than they are paying, a good portion of them will buy it from you for a little less than they are paying now.

I'll give you an example, one of my current income streams albeit a small one comes from selling products on Amazon. I'm not doing this because of the great copy I've written or the fantastic promotions for the product. I've done it because people are already buying those items on Amazon and I happen to be selling those same items for a fair bit cheaper than the competitors, while still maintaining a reasonable margin.

Lots of the advice given above is great on the surface, suggestions like "sell services". But they ignore the real question, which is can you supply those services for substantially less than people are already paying? It sounds like you've got some great valuable skills, creating videos, building websites, etc., people will pay for those but how much relative to what it costs you? And keep in mind you need to factor in your overheads and cost of sales in the equation.

So step 1 - determine what you can provide that people are already buying for substantially cheaper than they are paying now while still remaining profitable.

The next part of the equation is getting your offer in front of people, this hints at your comment of traffic but it goes deeper than that and back to our first point. Anyone can get traffic the question is "at what price?"

Here there's a simple rule of thumb, the cheapest traffic is the traffic you already have. In other words whose in your network on your Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and email list? Who do you know? Those are going to be the cheapest, fastest people to reach and the best source of fast cashflow. Figure out what those people are buying, find a way to buy it for substantially less than them, then be the one to provide it to them, give your friends a deal, they'll love that and bring their friends to you for a deal.

Now, if you want that to continue (because it will eventually dry up if not managed correctly) you need to either be providing them with something that's consumable (they purchase repeatedly) or need to get referrals or need to reinvest your earnings into expanding that network...ideally all three.

If you need help with that I can walk you through it, just message me.

Hello there!
Like in all walks of life, making money online implies knowing your own capacities, limits and talents, while also finding products that you'd be motivated to sell. Because it's always easier to sell something if you believe in that product. Like, for instance, organic skin products. You can see it not just like a money-making-thing, but like sharing your own interests and tastes with other people. And it just might work.

1. Do work on a site like eLance or oDesk

2. Contact leads and see if there is anything you can do to help them

3. Flip some items on eBay

4. Sell a WSO (what do you know that will help someone else?)

5. Get a job (Not being sarcastic. Look for at home based positions such as LiveOps)

Take some time to read through this thread. There are 18 pages of helpful tips to make money quickly. http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...desperate.html

Resell some products or services. For example find something offline that's in demand on E-bay, buy it cheaper, sell it at a higher cost. Reselling could be a magical way to make bank very fast.

Research a web design service that pays a commission. Call & visit local area businesses about their web design/promotion needs. Refer the client, earn your commission.

Have a yes for clients at every budget level (you might need different providers for this):

Medium enterprise ($1500-$5000) (5+ page site)
Small enterprise ($500-1500) (5 page site)
Starter/Brochure (<$500) (1-3 page site)

Beat the bricks.

Or: go ahead and design a site suitable for a business niche. Say, accounting. Then search local area accountants with crappy sites and show them a nice site with their name on it. Offer to rent it to them for a monthly fee (pay one year in advance), or to buy outright. Tell them you're contacting their competitors too, first buyer can get it. Make it cheap and super-easy for them, don't give them extra work to do. If possible, demonstrate how many actual new customers it can bring them. (Not just Adwords data, but concrete conversion rates). Let the profit do the selling. Make it a hands-free proposition, too. They are busy enough.

Alternatively, call up a local service, tell them you are a marketing consultant. Ask them if they would give you a 20% discount you could split & forward to your leads. Create a coupon or voucher. Customer gets 10% off, you get the other 10%. The business gets a customer it otherwise would not have gotten, so the discount is not really a problem. Make sure you can account for each coupon though so you don't get clipped.

Post an ad in Craiglist for a garage/attic cleaning service. Offer to haul away unwanted stuff. Scrap the metal, offload technology, post stuff on ebay or Craigslist. Or offer to sell people's stuff online in exchange for commission. Try not to send any zombies to their homes. Create your secondhand online shop.

For me building a list is gold, solo ads all the way

Well, well, well, well..

Are you serious about making money?

What am about to tell you might piss you off.

Well, it's all in your hands and it doesn't really matter if you work
2hrs a day or 17hrs a day. It all boils down to working smartly.

What works for me might not work for you.

First of all, identify what you want to do or what works.

Learn all you can about it, get a mentor if possible and apply it
leaving no stone unturn.

Where ever you are not clear, ask on the forum or Google it.

Basically, making money is just all about creating a product for a target
group of people. First of all, you have to ensure the market is there.

Secondly, put your product right in front of this people.

How you do it is up to you.

Maybe a forum thread, a blog, site, fan page, video or all of them.

How you design your site and product as well as your offer is up to you.

This are some of the things you should learn.

Most importantly, send targeted traffic down the path of your product/service,
build your list where possible.

To Your Success,
John

If you want to be successful online you have to find buyers who are buying something online, and then promote what people are buying.

Most people cannot find the right niche and the right products, and this is why nothing works for them.

Honestly I would write a report/product on something I was passionate about (Internet marketing for example) and sell it on a bunch of forums that have marketplaces. The warriorforum comes to mind, and a quick Google search of niche + "forum marketplace" OR niche + "forum buy sell trade" might pull some gems up.

Good luck!

P.S: I've personally made some quick cash using this method when I REALLY needed the money.

You are starting a real business, not a hobby.

So, on that note, do you really think that one can start a business with only 250$?

This is not a lemonade stand, this is internet marketing.

you can make great money with solo ads.

People, 90% of answers was not what i was looking for! If you are trying for a thanks, i only gave to ones that posted actionable content or at least great info!

Thank you for your efforts!

If this is what you believe then you should forget online marketing and get yourself a job. You'll be much happier. With that belief you've already programmed yourself to fail at everything you'll try. Good luck.

Create yourself a landing page or a squeeze page. Both are the same thing! Start to build yourself a list. From there it comes down to first getting traffic and 2nd conversions. This is where most fail or give up. Traffic is easy but it takes time. There is no fast way to make money online. DOES NOT EXIST especially if your new!

Start building yourself a list and test, test, test your funnel and get it to perform to the way you want.

If your an affiliate Id suggest building your landing page around an affiliate offer and then offer that product as an upsell or in your thank you email. The whole point is to leverage your marketing efforts with a list. Keep it clean and up to date and you have a instant targeted traffic source.

for really easy product creation you can find high quality content in the public domain then resell it for a profit.

As a few others mentioned before me, the methods you expalined worked -- you just need to FOCUS.

For me, email marketing is the best way to regular money each and every month. You only need 3 parts. traffic, squeeze page, and product to sell.

Now if you break down these three steps and learn as much as you can about each, then you will become successful sooner rather then later.

Learn how to create high convering squeeze pages, or have someone make them for you.

Next write some follow up emails that deliever massive value and add entertainment in them as well.

Lastly learn how to generate traffic. Free, Paid, or if you can both. You only need to master a couple of free methods, then a couple of paid methods, and you will have all the traffic you will ever need.

Like I was saying though, email marketing may not be your thing... maybe blogging, amazon, flipping sites, etc.

Just focus on whatever you are going to do until you see results.

For now get a job for now, but i personally don't like working for someone else which is why i am here in the first place. I started Internet Marketing a week ago, and it is pretty hard, but i love challenges and i never give up.

That's a rude way to ask for "urgent" help. You basically want someone to give you a cash blueprint so you can put in some hard work that "you don't mind putting in".

Also where did you get your figures from? Especially "97% have flaws"?

Also, your statement on "hard work" is a bit contradictory.

On one hand you talk about hard work and on the other you point out flaws in systems. Of course there are flaws. Internet marketing is way more difficult than E=MC2! There are too many variables and the "methods" we see are honest efforts by people to try and bring down the number of variables or the magnitude of risk. You'll have to compensate the "flaws" with your hard work. That's the hard truth.

See everyone of us here are running after only one thing - TRAFFIC. you can never have enough of it. There are great minds out here and there isn't a dearth of ideas, the only issue is traffic.

So, if I were you I'd do a JV with someone who guarantees returns or spend the money on targeted traffic onto my money product and hopefully make some sales.

There is no best market.

I would have to say and agree with many others selling an actual service to people or making a product and selling it is the quickest way. If its a product it might just take a lot of time when first starting in order to actually make the product.

Another option is reselling a companies product or service, this is something ive done in the past and made a lot... Im not talking just about internet products but if you can sell stuff to offline clients a lot of commissions can be made.

For me personally, making money online has been an ardous journey but at the same time highly fulfilling when you make it. I am by no means as successful as I wanted to but I am improving everyday. Sad to say, there is no one best way to make money, especially now if you are talking about immediate gratification. It takes time and hard work. You can consider selling solo ads which is what I am doing or create your own products to sell. Even affiliate marketing using various traffic methods, free or paid is good. But like all things, it takes time to see results.

Providing a service seems to work for me. If you put your mind to it, you could sign up to all the major freelancing sites including the great Freelancer.com and add your services on there. You will be surprised at the response and could easily make $100 per day.
