Need guidance on how to proceed

7 replies
Hello warriors, newbie here. I am interested in internet marketing as a way of supporting myself while i am studying. My goal is to in next 15 months earn $1400 a month starting form $0(I do have around 500 EUR of capital). That amount will be enough for me to live comfortably. Now my question is what is a right way to go about this. My plan is to start a blog in saturated niche, but it is saturated mostly with garbage and low quality content. I was thinking on offering higher quality content which is kind of rare in that niche. Next i would develop that blog into full info product business. But that will take time to create content and to attract traffic organically since i don't have money to buy traffic. I was wondering while i was doing that to pursue other ways to reach my goal and that's where i need your help since i am a newbie. What other ventures, besides info products, do your recommend me to try out that at the same time fit with my goal? Thank you :confused:

      FOREX niche is my main one and then to move one to other finance related niches. I know that it is highly saturated but mostly with garbage FX robots which is not what i intend to sell anyway.

        Info Products are the best in my opinion since it's a more sustainable business model long term. If you plan to go the blogging route as a newbie, get ready for a 'steep' learning curve depending on your blogging goals - will be 100% worth it if you stay in the game.

        With your initial budget, and blogging as a core strategy. It's best to make sure you are building a list, blogging with valuable content for at least a 90 day period and making sure you are automating traffic to your site with sending new people on your list back to each of your blog posts.

        Depending on your niche, you can use your initial budget to get started front loading your list with strategies like solo ads etc, and using your daily blog to follow up and control your own traffic.

        The key is to pick up a converting offer, and focus until you get that revenue working. Personally, I believe you have the ability to hit your personal goal in 60-90 days if you dive into communities where you can model others who are doing what you want to do.

        Welcome to internet marketing my friend.

        DJ,

        On what basis are you choosing to go into Forex? Do you have past history and experience in that market? Do you have training or education in the field? Do you have ways of identifying your audience in terms of where they're found online and how you can reach them? Do you have ideas for information products that are lacking? Do you know where there is critical demand for knowledge and training?

        If you've done some serious market research within Forex and you can answer all these questions, then you have created a road map into the market and you will understand how to position a new business to make a profit.

        If you haven't done your homework already, then that is the place you need to begin.

        Without understanding where the demand lies and what the audience is lacking and asking for . . . you are no better off than others in the same "saturated" space that you said were offering "garbage and low quality content."

        Many newbies make the critical mistake of thinking they are going to create demand for their information product. They won't.

        You have to sell into the demand that's already there. And if you don't understand that demand and know what/where it is, you will end up with nothing more than another profitless blog in a saturated market.

        The choice of going into a market is critical to your success, especially if you plan to enter a very competitive market like Forex. It has limited need and call for information products. Forex trading systems are a dime a dozen. What other information products are you going to sell?

        This is going to be a very tough first business for you - not impossible if you have a unique product - but I fear from your post that you have no clue what you're getting into.

    I think you first need to find a plan that you want to stick to for now. Try not to spend anything too fast, which is the problem most people suffer with.

    Find a plan.

    Stick to it.

    And make money

    You could create WSOs if you're into it if you have happened to have found something that may help other warriors on here.

    Don't try to get into a market that already has too many successful products. While it is good to still get into specific niches with your info products, you don't want to get into the "make money online" niche on Clickbank. You could start on the Warrior Forum Special offers area.

    Just do a lot of quick thinking before investing anything.

      If you're determined to go this route and you need something to do while you create Forex content for your blog. I'd consider an Affiliate marketing program of some kind.

      If you pick the right program and start building a list, you may reach your goal before your Forex venture.

    Creating a blog is definitely the way to go (I operate one myself ). Once you understand how to optimize blog posts, backlinks, epic contents, you are good to go!

    It does takes time for rankings but utilizing facebooks and youtube to magnify your posts definitely helps a ton to get your voice heard.

    Paid ads will come when you are ready to scale bigger. 70-80% should be used from your profits to get more traffic seeing your awesome contents.

    Build relationship with your list of followers and start marketing!
