Looking for suggestions from marketers making a lot of money consistently online.

This post is an example of the expectations so many new marketers have.




The goal - full time income from laptop - flexi ble hours - is reasonable given time and effort.

The 'conditions', however, are not reasonable. Trading time for money is what you WILL do - especially if you don't have money to invest in help or tools. "Wanting and needing" have little to do with results. Everyone would like to build a lot of wealth quickly - few accomplish that goal.

Also a commonly held belief for new IMers - that though it takes time to see reuslts of a 'real business' - for right now you just want quick money that takes no investment...of money or skills. Reality: It doesn't work that way. If you could simply do 'something' to get money 'now' when you need it - why bother to build a real business?

For quick results - and because you seem capable of writing well - you could hustle on freelance sites like Upwork and similar sites (I do Not recommend Fiverr). You are trading time for money (real work) but you can get results doing that.

It's more than signing up and waiting to be found. You would spend all of your free time choosing ads and writing custom bids and being 'available'.

It's work that allows you interruptions and can be done 30-45 minutes here and there throughout the day.

You have to find what works for YOU - what you are capable of doing and willing to do.


Never heard of the product you are asking about but i will cuation you that buying "MMO and how to" products is the worst thing you could possibly do at this point. So many new marketers develop 'shiny object syndrome' and year after year they are buying the newest product and 'blueprint' and still calling themselves a 'newbie'.

You can't buy success for $27 - you can't learn everything you need to know for $97. You have to put in the time and effort to create your own business plan - choose what you will work on - and dig into it.

Working online is not all that hard - you don't have to be a geek or a techie. You do need to be realistic and understand that what you GET in the way of income will be directly proportional to the effort/thought/time you put into the work.


The 'shortcuts' that will help are traits like the ability to focus - to stick to one thing long enough to master it before moving to something else. Common sense is a huge asset - there is no magic, no 'push here for success' button, no secret. You do the work - you get the money.


This forum has a lot of expert threads that will help you - use the search function to find them as you need them. Don't wait to be told what to do - dig in and figure it out.

Kay has given you some excellent advice.

I want to comment on this:

While there are many people here who are making good money and have a lot of good experience, there are also plenty of people who have never made a dime, scammers, thieves, and more. Yet, the latter group will give you advice despite you wanting to filter the responses.

Don't trust anything anyone says, including me, without checking it out first. Do your due diligence and ignore every single PM you're likely to get with a great but limited opportunity.

Also, what is a living wage? In the US it may be $50,000 but in India or China, it may be $12,000.

Again, your expectations seem to be off a little, as Kay mentioned.

Good luck.
Mark

First, I agree with what Kay has written.

Then, I will tell you this:

FASTEST way to make money, is a JOINT venture, but you need to bring value to the table, and it is hard to see any from your post. I've been online since 1985, full time on the Internet since 1997.

A "lot of money" quickly is all relative. Don't know what you mean. I will tell you of one joint venture I did, which did $10,000.00 the first day, and over 27k in less than a month. It was for a report, a simple thing on cleaning headlights.

My take was half of that, or about 13k in 26 days. A lot? Don't know.

Other projects have brought small trickles of income for close to 20 years, and added together have been, to me, substantial amounts.

I think you should read Kay's post again and again.

I don't know about the Sarah program, but I would recommend the web site mywifequitherjob that has lots of free [and affordable] resources...

Thank you for the replies so far.

Just a few clarifications:

When I said making money quickly, I did not mean making money easily. I do understand that it takes effort to make money online, and I am willing to put that effort in. Also, when I say quickly, because I have a lot of time on my hands I am really referring to taking massive action within the time I have, since I am not working full time. I'm aware that there is no such thing as "passive income", and that a lot of work needs to be put in at the front end, to see results (that ultimately look like passive income - but in reality are not).

I am not looking to provide any type of service to a variety of clients on an individual basis (at least not long term). It's not a type of business I want to build, so I'm not interested in going down that path. Freelance work requires taking on multiple assignments from multiple people, building a reputation as a freelancer, having a website, etc. Though it is a viable income source, it is not the path I want to go down.

Please understand, I realize that making money online in any sustainable way requires hard work, some financial investment, and some time to see results.
I'm aware though, that there are people making money online in other ways (selling through Amazon, etc.), that don't necessarily require a website or a ton of money to get started. (This would not be a long-term thing for me, but maybe to build capital in the beginning and possibly (hopefully) keep it as an additional income stream. I want to know what has worked for people who have pursued digital marketing / income generation methods outside of building a formal business or working as a freelancer. Maybe that wasn't clear in my post. I apologize if it wasn't.

Though I have little to no money to get started, I do have time, and am willing to put in some hard work and effort with the extra time I have to make things happen. Hoping for some additional responses from people who have started generating an income online, and maybe started out in a similar lack of funds boat, and did not follow the paths of traditional business or freelancer to get their results.

Thanks.

You got cool answers comin' in already from people regularly dish the quality deets, but don't forget you got Warrior Forum's search feature also.


Not evrywan with sumthin' to say will show in response to this post, plus also plenty answers to your question likely already exist in the archives.


Seems you got info & skills for a start point, but like people already said ... takes time.

i am in a similar situation. i am disabled and trying to make a better life for my family. i need a way to get started making money that really works right now. because i cannot afford to spend money and i want my time and effort to be towards something that is working right now and can be done for free.
if anyone has any real help and is actually making money online please reply.
otherwise please dont reply. i am tired of people giving me advice wit old techniques or who are not actually making money online and there are so many scams out there i really do not know who to trust or believe. if there is an internet marketer you trust and follow let me know who they are and maybe i could start working for or with them.
thanks

Hi DM,

Here is my suggestion buddy: if you have no money, you have all types of fears concerning money. Money limiting beliefs. Feel those fears. Now. Address the feelings. Or else you carry those fears with you, and even if you worked 45 hours a day, 24 days a week, you will still be broke LOL.

BUT.....if you see marketing as a way to:

- follow your passion
- serve people
- make friends

you will see success in the long run. No overnight success, because you have no IM skills. Practicing for years develops your IM skills. Then money flows in.

Get a job. Make money. Then, begin IM from the *big money*, patient, calm, detached energy.

I have been:

- a security guard
- janitor
- secretary

over the years. No job was beneath me.

But now I travel all over the globe as a pro blogger. I'm even more humble now, because success finds humble servants; not folks pining for money.

Do what ya gotta do to get a paycheck, to begin IM from the big money, calm, detached, patient energy.

When you start a thread asking for advice - you don't dictate who answers or what they are allowed to say. Talk about condescending....

You don't seem to realize you are getting advice from those who HAVE been doing business online successfully.

Those posting above have repeatedly told you NOT to spend money - did you read that part?

You say you don't want 'traditional business'- but then mention selling products... Comments about freelancing tell me you don't know much about the potential there. That's fine - you can learn a lot here but if you make demands the only answers you may get will be from those who know less than you do.

Might have been helpful to mention that in the first post instead of asking what you could do....

You need skills and experience to earn a lot of money QUICKLY, you have to build trust and reputation if you want to make money quickly. first start small and then scale things up based on what is working for you.

i made this mistake of wanting to make a lot of money quickly with little to no skill and i hardly make any.

affiliate marketing is one of the best way to earn a lot of passive income but you have to pass through trial and errors in order to achieve that.

Why not use the freelancing platform to interview businesses for long-term employment/work?

I think a big issue with this forum is that people assume that to get financial freedom, you have to own that business. This is just untrue.

Think of Steve Jobs and Wozniak. Who is the more popular? Could he have done what he did without the man behind him?

You seem to indicate that you have a strong marketing background. Use it to not only craft your financial freedom but someone else's.

That's what I've done. Let me know if you're interested or have questions. I'll gladly expound on this idea, but didn't want to make a huge rant if you're just not interested.

Here's my short answer, and it will only work if you can write and write quickly.

TextBroker and iWriter have been good to me whenever I need some extra money here and there. It will not make you rich, but there are orders there 24/7, so you can make money and write whenever you have a few minutes. Most orders are easy enough.

At full capacity, writing my heart out, I've made about $20/hour there, so again, it won't make you rich. Often with the research, formatting and keyword arrangements I'll make closer to $15/hour there.

It's not the best method, but it's got a low barrier of entry if you're a capable writer, let's you build up some clients and will definitely pay. Since I only do it here and there (like an hour or so a day), I'll usually make about $200-$400 a month from there.

I suggest TextBroker overall since their system is fairer to writers and the orders are more consistent, plus the buyers tend to be better. However, I've found some really great clients from iWriter who directly order from me. iWriter really shines with direct orders, but their general order pool is garbage.

Years ago I was making full-time income from there when I was in a similar situation with no job and lots of time, but moved on and now only do it part-time for some extra cash. I've heard that TextBroker has changed how they accept writers and they have a long verification process, so I'd sign up now if this sounds good to you.

Unfortunately my main experience has been with writing, so that's all I've got for you. Hope this helps!

I started out broke I was a plumber for many years with prior computer knowledge. Hurt my back and started my own marketing business. It started out slow and my initial investment was $20 I offered my services for free for a specified amount of time, built a portfolio and then once I had proven my value I sold them on future business! Then took that money and invested in things like business cards, website and extra tools to help me along the way!

The thing standing between you and success is persistence and never giving up! Keep at it, keep learning, you have time just not money so do everything you can even if it fails! You will learn from your failures.

I started off posting on Craiglist etc... I think I did get one client there, huge waste of time but I learned a ton by doing it!

Time is money but if you have a ton of time and no money then offer something incredible, you will even get hesitation on a free service at first! Don't let it discourage you! Make sure you can give provide quality if you do this!

I hope this helps you guys!

If you still reading this, I will tell you how I started when I was in a similar situation. I read webmaster forums but there was information overload and got confusing with all the advice by pros.
I started by learning how to setup sites, it was more difficult few years ago, now it's much easier to do it with WordPress. You can learn it quickly, no programming skill needed, just where to click and the wordpress admin functions, what plugins to use, etc.
Learning how to setup sites in wordpress allowed me 2 things:
1. Setup sites for others, as ready made sites and sell to people who wanted to save time and did not know how to do it themselves. Nothing complicated. It turned out to be very profitable and I've made about $10,000 per month for a long time, starting first or second month.
It was more than I expected because I just wanted to make few hundred dollars a month so I could invest in my own site, but it turned out to be better than running my own site.
2. I built a lot of sites for myself. One time I setup 100 of them in 1 week and instead of selling them as I usually did, I left them running. They were all automated sites, content was added with plugins automatically. Not unique content, some call it junk sites (because of no unique content). After about 2 - 3 months each of these sites with almost no work, started making average 30 cents per day (from ad clicks, or 1 - 3 purchases a month from my amazon affiliate sites), 30 cents a day from 100 sites added up to $30 a day, $900 per month. Not much, but it was from sites that did not require any manual updates or unique content.
Then I started building backlinks by doing some trades with other website owners (backlinks are most important for google to rank sites), and using youtube to make video compilations that sometimes went viral and generated few thousands visitors per month. From 30 cents per day from each site in few months it grew to average $2 per day per site, from 100 sites it added up to $6,000 per month.
That's 2 methods I used to go from $0 to my first $1 million in 7 years.

I'm working now on something else, next level thing. But if I had not much money to start and starting today, I would do it again the same way because it still works, maybe not as easy as before but still profitable and makes sense to do it. From all the methods I tried and experimented with it was the easiest way to make money. I'm teaching my neighbor to do it, he started 3 months ago, in November he made over $300. Not much but he is taking it slow and the 100 sites he is running and working on generating traffic, he can flip them for big payout after few months. When he makes $10 - $20 per month from each site (expected in a few months) that's $1,000 - $2,000 per month. A site that makes $10- $20 per month can be sold for about $500. If he decides to sell each site for about $500, he can make $50,000, then invest in something bigger, or continue with these methods. All within first year.
It's no passive income, but it's possible to do little work when you outsource the work, so it can take no more than few hours a week.
To start you don't need high-level technical skills, you don't need a lot of money.
When you learn to make sites in wordpress, you can start making money quickly by selling your services and you can build a lot of sites for yourself, then just learn how to make $1 a day from each, and repeat 100 times.
To make $1 a day from 1 site, you don't need unique content or even a lot of traffic. On some of my sites I make $2 from one ad click (depending on a niche), on some sites 1 sale makes $100, so it needs only 1 sale every 3 months to make $1 a day. Makes no sense when running only 1 site, but with 100 sites it adds up.

This will take time, I have spent $1000' s of dollare over 3 years never made a cent,
patience and follow a true internet marketer is the only option for you.

I would suggest to start online business.
Define the niche you want to be dedicated to.
You can create blog and monetize it, or you just want to make online store - go ahead!
Do not forget to do SEO.

It's a common problem for many new marketers.

Alot of people do not realize you can make an amazing amount of money NOT DOING FIVERR GIGS. But Hiring others to fulfill them all for you.
