Cannot afford even 10$

You need a reality check. You have posted for a year about being 'a beginner' and have asked about various methods of working online. Always the limitation is 'little money' or 'no money'.. Time to change your focus.

Though some will tell you it's fine to start for 'free' - I'll tell you it's not nearly as easy to do that as it was a few years ago. There's too much competition and sites and services are far more sophisticated than they were 10-15 years ago.

If you have not accomplished anything online in a year of trying - maybe what you need to do is get a job, accumulate some funds and have some financial backing to start an online business.

You are not alone. There are members on this forum who have participated here for years and still call themselves 'newbies' because they have yet to make money online. It's not easy to get started - much harder to do without some financial resources.

I'm sure other members will post with advice of how to start 'for free' (much of it copied from quora most likely) - but the truth is you get out of an online business what you put into it. If you have knowledge and skills, time and determination...you can earn money online. If you have funds to invest, you can hire experts to do some of the tasks for you.

Without knowledge - or money - without a plan of action - you are treading water. There is no magic button that provides money to those who 'need' it.

I suggest you read through your previous posts - choose one method - decide what you need financially to get started.....then focus on raising money to fund your online business. Doesn't have to be a lot of money - but $10 won't go far.


That's the reality.

you could definitely start with free traffic yeah, but know that the first results will be slow, so you need to be a lot patient with this.

You are sitting there asking questions in regards, if other people think there is any hope that you can get a start.

The minute you decide to stop letting other people tell you how you will end up and you start making decisions for yourself, you will probably start moving forward.

If it is that you feel that you need others to tell you how you life should work, then you need to go get a job with a boss who can tell you what to do.

Hi Rizabbasi,

My suggestion; go get a job offline. Scrub toilets or work at a store or dig ditches, or do whatever ya gotta do legally, to save at least a few hundred dollars.

Once you have a few hundred dollars, begin internet marketing.

But if you do not have a few hundred dollars the fear you are clinging to (which I feel through interwebz will bleed into everything you do online, which guarantees your failure for the next 20 years, as long as you have almost no money and that deep fear in you.

IM is a beautiful way to have fun, to help folks and to build a sustainable business for folks who do NOT hop online in desperation. So.....don't be that guy/gal

Earn some coin buddy, and when you return, pick a niche based on da 2 P's: Your Passion, that solves a Problem.

Hi,

Thank you all for your responses. 10$ was just a figurative figure.

1) I have read in these forums that paid marketing also doesn't work in a manner a payer anticipated.

2) To start with how much $$$ budget is needed for paid marketing?

3) (Correct me if I am wrong). CPA is different game in contrast to affiliate. IMO it doesn't need to have niche sites.

Let me ask a question..

Why CPA or affiliate marketing?

What is it in your perspective that draws you in to such a IM business?

Why do you feel that is the way you should go?

I mostly like what I'm seeing in the comments,

If you really have no money, you might want to focus on 1:1 selling affiliate programs to get startup money, or just suck it up and get some sort of a job to fund the start to your internet marketing career.

Free traffic methods seem to be ideal for you, just watch some YouTube videos or something on the topic...

Hi, I'm a beginner too, I've did two affiliate marketing course from two guru's and I have about 2,5k £ to start. I'm in max bounty, I've try to promote one clickbank product, I've burn about on this 70$ in ad without any sales
and last week I've start push notification ad's with propeller ad and some facebook, I've burn 100$ easy... very easy.... the first 60$ in 12 hours by propeller ad's

I'm really really scared to lose all of my little budget if don't find a good campaing soon that convert.
I'm nobody to suggest you, but If I was you, I was looking for a normal job, saving money, and then try to start.....!!! It's my situation right now.....
I know that 2,5k $ It's very little, especially for native ad !! RevContent have 100$ daily minimum budget...!
Anyway start to watching youtube, plenty of guru's can advice you !!

Guru... That word makes me laugh every time I hear or see it lol.

Sorry.

Ok, but seriously, what makes these people a "guru" in your eyes?

Do you realize that majority of the YouTube Gurus you watch are all faking it?

Never will they EVER reveal their strategy straight on for you to learn the right way.

Every single word they mention is persuasive for two reasons.

They rely on cliff hangers and they always want you to opt in to their training for you to spend money and I'd say majority of the training is straight garbage of repeated info.

This is the problem with IM.

People who are new are thrown tons of misguided information, get totally confused, end up not taking action are are completely discouraged from the beginning.

Maybe I'm also a bit biased when it comes to IM and affiliate marketing.

I think it's a BS business platform and too many people are focused on the short term versus long term build.

This is not a make money fast business model.

There are also a few major ingredients you need to be successful and yes you can do it with a lower startup cost.

There's also a few skills you need to really up your game on to have a decent chance to make anything.

People think you can just pick up an affiliate link and just start poppin off to make cash.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but ummm that doesn't work.

MARKETING = BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS

It's not just about making money here. It is a strategic process and you need to figure that out.

Not only do you need marketing skills, but you need to learn sales period.

You need to believe in what you're selling as well.

How you going to sell a product you never used yourself? You have no clue what the benefits really are, what improvements are needed and if it will even fill your markets need period.

Autoresponders and all these other tools... You're burning through your money if you don't have a proper STRATEGY, don't know how to write sales copy, and have no clue how these work or how to properly test them.

Maybe I'm ranting here, but I do it with the best of intentions.

Too many beginners are misguided and taken advantage of when only 5% of people tell them the dead honest truth.

There's some good feedback here, but there's also some wishy washy responses that need to be ignored and avoided.

Sorry but not sorry.

Advice and the words you use are almost 95% taken literally.

Words are powerful and the end result is someone's livelihood and their money being spent in reference to some of the advice going around.

There's no perfect plan, but you do need a FOUNDATION of knowledge and know how to really get started and measure your own progress to see what works and what doesn't.

What has worked for one might not work for you.

What are your own strengths and how do they match up to what you can use them for?

Stop being sheep.

Be resourceful, take action, test, test, test, and make changes when needed.

Learn and implement - then repeat.

Rant done! Oops!

Yes, you can because there are many free traffic methods. Just that you need to invest more time if you don't do paid traffic.

-free traffic methods are amazing if you know how to do them correctly (there are even free resources out there)

-paid traffic (specifically fb ads) are super cutthroat if you don't know what you're doing.

-You can't be scared to lose money, you NEED to spend it to learn, end of story.

-Personally i don't think there is much misleading information from the gurus out there. It's just that there is much information and the shiny object syndrome is strong.

-I've only been doing IM for 4 months, and what i've learnt is INSANE. I got addicted to the process, i don't care about "making money" because i know i'll get there (already seen results too) I think that is the mentality.

try looking at Tom Addams' Month One WSO - affiliate blog plan. I cant say that I have actually looked at the program, but I know people that have looked at it.. are using it. and its about developing low / no cost traffic.

Try to promote some incentive offers - you can ask your friends to do something for you to get some money first.

I would recommend you to use social media as a sound platform to promote your CPA programs. Best is have a blog and promote some of your CPA offers as banner ads. You can make a free blog with Wordpress.

If you have to promote links then you have to spend some money else it will be very tough you can do Blogging and try to get traffic to your blog.

you can work go see how people are marketing online by first becomong a worker. Go to microworker, use their methods to learn how to market stuff online.

Get a job, invest that money into building an email list and promoting offers, continue until in profit. Reinvest profits to keep building list and promoting offers.

By the way "cannot invest" is more likely "do not want to invest". Using former people advising to get a job which I am already into
