Not able to make a start

I have been reading a lot of info on CPA, CPM, CPL for the past few weeks. However I am not able to choose a niche or offer to promote (I think I am a bit scared).

Is there a course or material that would help me with the confidence to start?

I am a beginner with a very limited budget, just don't want to let it go waste.

Kindly help.

    You don't need more material to get started.

    You need to pick a direction and start working on building campaigns.

    If your budget is small start with free traffic.

    Greedy has told you the truth. No material will get you started, you have to motivate yourself with a workable plan.

    I am sure you already have the required knowledge to be successful, that is why you were afraid to start in the first place. It is normal in Internet marketing, no one came into IM a champion. Every IM champion you know all had their fears and days of newbie.

    So if you don't start something today, you won't gain anything tomorrow. It is this simple, It is better to learn while you act than to wait for some super training that will not come before you act.

    Why are you scared of picking a particular niche? You shouldn't be. If you are not comfortable picking a niche among the ones that have the highest demand, start evaluating yourself and find out what you really like to talk about, something that you take interest in. That'll get you started.

      This is the truth I agree 100%. If you are looking to get traffic on a limited budget you really want to have great content on your site that is of high quality, with a great perceived value and that makes you look like an authority in your niche.

      This kind of content will be liked by readers and they will read your content and this will have a low bounce rate and so a higher perceived value on Google. You will get more chance of shares and likes on social media another factor that search engines like.

      Good content is king.....so how do you get good content?

      Write about what you like and what you are passionate about. It will come through in your copy. You will find it easier to write about it.

      Get some article up on your site and then start looking to guest blog and set up accounts with Twitter, Facebook, Pintrest and Google Plus

      You will be soon getting traffic and it will not seem like a chore if you are writing about what you like.

      Good luck and I suggest write an article today and get the ball rolling!

    Great advice Brewer ...I am going to start taking action today itself.

    I think my main problem is that I start thinking how over-saturated and over-used each niche is. For e.g., I am interested in health and fitness niche, but I know there are several real bodybuilders and fitness experts out there who are doing the same thing with their own real experiences. Why would anyone listen to a me who doesn't have the right experience to give advice? That is where I get stuck with every niche.

    But I guess this is only in my head and I need to get over it by taking some action as soon as possible.

    Thank you all for your inputs. This is a great place to learn!

    If you want to be successful in the niche that you are trying to pursue, you have to establish credibility. And just like what the brewer said, high quality content is what will take you there. There will be times when you can no longer think of something new for your niche, but that is when outsourcing comes in. You have a lot of choices.
