    Alex, i know it's hard for you to start out cos i have experienced it myself.
    There are a few ways that you can see result fast and keep you motivated.
    1- Selling on Amazon, eBay. Sounds old, but this can guarantee a fast result.
    2- Don't try to promote products as an affiliate when you first start out. Put yourself in your customers shoes. Will you buy something from a stranger who happen to sell you something? Probably not. what i mean here is try to build your relationship, your email LIST. Give people advices. Send them free ebook again and again and teach them. Once you have your list, then start promoting product to them. Remember to promote QUALITY not quantity cos that way your audiences will be hunger for your products.

    3- Creating an info product to sell. It might sound difficult but it's not. make friend or find someone who is an expert in something. Ask them, interview them then package it into an ebook or report. Doesn't have to be 100 page long. 10 to 20 pages are enough as long as it's packed with Meat and not Fat. Find affiliate to sell it and share your profit with them. Or even sell it HERE in warrior forum.

    Those are my 2 cents.
    Good luck.

    Riafroz ...is right many ways to make money online...

    But, in my humble opinion, I would think residual income, doing email marketing and building a email list of subscribers, buyers if probably in my opinion the best model to follow for me !

    Why ! It creates residual income for you since you can do repeat mailings to this list and make money from your list consistently for life, treat your list with respect and with valuable content, they will reward you by buying from you !

    You will have to find what you are comfortable with, but this is what I recommend to you for a stable income in the future, provided you do not become lazy and then stop maintaining your list of subscribers, that is death wish to your income regardless of how much money you make that list, you need to do maintenance on that list period !

    There are many places to start your education, from ecourses, to ebooks, membership sites, private coaches...

    Look at internet marketing as an OCTUPUS with many different arms or components all working together to do online marketing ?

    1) Look for free options that teach you about affiliate marketing, seo, social media marketing, youtube marketing, facebook mareting, etccc as well many places to get this free online

    2) Make sure you study search engine optimization (SEO) so that you can do your own seo to social media accounts pages / your website / web 2.0 sites, articles, youtube, etccc and if you do not study SEO you are then walking with 3 legs instead of 4, you can still make it without big time, but could make the difference in whether you fail or succeed but all depends in how you approach your business online, so SEO is helping you get where you going so do not dismiss it when others tell you that it is not a great way to drive traffic any more fast which is true but , look at SEO as one of the arms of the OCTUPUS allowing you to leverage yourself a little more online, it is still a great way to get traffic when you know what to do across the board besides your website...

    3) You will get plenty of ideas right from here, www.Affiloroma.com is a great FREE RESOURCE for newbies to tap into, you to get a lot of information there and this is not a affiliate link I have provided ;>)

    First - congratulations on taking action and learning...

    (That's rule number one haha. Always learn new stuff. Because things change fast man)...

    As far as what to sell/how to profit? There's a ton of variables...

    It all comes down to selling stuff.

    Physical products, digital products and services... Your own stuff... (Or someone else's).

    It can be broken down a MILLION ways.

    Here's what I do:
    I'm an online publisher (blogger, social media, email marketer).

    I create content daily, and disseminate that content everywhere I can.



    In the process, I also sell affiliate products (a diverse array), and also strew my own products into the mix.

      What are the major earning sources of internet marketing?

      Alex,

      I think what you're really asking is: What business models do Internet marketers employ to make money?

      Don't confuse yourself - there's really only one source of "earning" and that is other people buying what you're selling.

      The possibilities are almost limitless as to what people will buy. Your challenge is to identify a niche (group of people with a common desire) that you want to focus on, find out what prospects in that niche are looking to purchase, then figure out a way to give those buyers exactly what they're looking for.

      A business model is an approach to selling and it includes the way you're going to present your product or service to the niche.

      Some marketers create their own products to sell, others focus on selling other people's products for a commission.

      One of the biggest challenges to making money online is to figure out how to reach the buyers in your chosen niche and to drive those buyers to your offer. It's called "getting traffic." You have to figure out how to get traffic at a cost and rate that makes sense for what you're selling.

      Many Internet marketers begin by building a subscriber list of potential candidates for their offer by giving away something valuable in exchange for the right to contact the subscriber via email. It's called permission marketing.

      Often a prospect will only purchase something from you when he/she trusts you and feels comfortable that you will deliver on your promises. Being able to "nurture" these people will often help you to make more sales, and repeated sales which is one of the foundations of a successful business online.

      The very best to you.

      Steve

      I would say a MAJOR earning source is the ability to promote products (yours or someone else's) to your own list.
      It's been done from Day 1, and it still works today; and there's a reason for that.
      Try learning as much about listbuilding as you can. I believe every successful online business should employ this.

    Alex,

    How you doing? First off let me say welcome to the warrior forum. Its always nice to see new people here. I hope you get the same positive experience that I have received since being here.

    You obviously had some great answers from other warrior members but I will like to add a bit more without overloading you with information.

    First and foremost you need to ask yourself why you want to do this? Is it to give you a better lifestyle? I suggest writing it down because you can use it as your motivation when things get hard.

    then think about what you feel comfortable in doing? What systems suits your skills and personality. Are you happy to sell products on a website you created or would you have personality and drive to make Multi layer Marketing work.

    Once you decided all of that then I would recommend setting smart targets. This will make you more focused and that will lead you to getting better results.

    From there you need to start taking baby steps towards your targets. Look to establish a great reputation and make sure you that your approach remains consistent throughout.

    Okay so by now you should know what you want to do, have a plan on how your going to make it happen, and have taken the necessary actions to reach the promise land.

    If for whatever reason you would like me to go into greater detail then I will glady do it with you or anyone else for that matter. My advice is free and I enjoy helping others. I have pm you Alex just so you know im here if you need me. You can also add me to facebook if you would like.

    Have a nice day.

    owen

    I would say that list building is one of the greatest
    action that you can take for internet marketing.

    You can measure and track your success as the more
    subscribers you get the more successful you can be.

    Build a list as soon as you can.

    ...SELL what you do.

    ALL money making activity boils down to an EXCHANGE of value.

    Money is just a measurement of the exchange. It is only ONE way, you can also barter and trade the value.

    So, you have to have something to offer in the exchange. You can create it, acquire it or represent it.

    Copywriters, web designers and graphics people exchange their SERVICES which are their talents, knowledge and abilities for the money or agreed upon value.

    Affiliates trade their traffic for income. Creators exchange their creations for whatever the market will bear.

    How do you decide what to do?

    Start with the TRANSACTION and backward chain the events, this will show you the steps needed to get the value and then you can clearly see what YOU need to do, and whether or not you are willing, capable or ready to do it.

    gjabiz

    PS. By starting with the transaction, you can clearly avoid the BOG down points so many wannabe marketers run into. By THINKING it through in the beginning allows you to set up your money making efforts in such a way it is pleasurable, profitable and sustainable.

    If you're new to internet marketing, then affiliate marketing is probably the easiest way to make money. You simply refer potential buyers to an offer and if they purchase you earn a commission.

    The easiest way to refer people to an offer, is by having an email list you can promote to. Most affiliate sales in this business come from email lists, that's a fact. So i suggest you first start to learn on how to build an email list, and how to monetize that list. I you can master these two things, you're well on your way to become a very succesful internet marketer

    Good luck!

    Build a list and sell a product or service online.

    Your job is to learn how to build a list and how to promote products/services to your list. You can learn how to do this by buying products on those topics or you can start taking action and learn from trial and error.

    If you persevere and keep going no matter what, eventually you will start making money and it will get easier along the way.

    It can happen quickly or it could take years, but you will never know until you give it your best effort.

      I like the "trial and error" aspect of it. HERE's mine.

    You will earn the most money online when you sell products that earn you residual commissions from.

    You can not just rely on products that get you a one time commission. You would have to work really hard to get new sales all the time for a positive cash flow.

    Start on Ebay. Prove to yourself that you can make money online via Ebay, then test the waters with your own website where you have to bring thousands of targeted visitors to your "information" page.

    Well, I like your query. According to my point of view, the Affiliate marketing is the best resource to earn money through online. It is the part of internet marketing and it is good for beginners who have no idea about how to make money through online. You know why it is best? Because, It provides you a global marketing system where you may earn money from any part of the world. The another thing is that it is cost effective, because you don't need to think about the production cost,this cost rate is only decided by the seller. You also not need to pay any kind of money to use this Affiliate marketing strategy.
