Hello, New Member; Got any advice?

My advice: stop thinking of yourself and start thinking about others.

I don't mean this is some lovely-dovey kumbaya sense, but from the very self-interested (selfish even!) perspective that outside of your close friends and family nobody really gives a crap what you want. If you start an online business -- and don't kid yourself: if you're looking to enter the world of "internet marketing", that's exactly what you'll be doing -- the people who are going to decide whether your $1500/month goal is realistic or just a fantasy are going to be your customers. And what they want is something that's going to make their lives better.

What are you going to do for them? Why should they buy from you, visit your website, read your emails, click on your ads or do whatever else it is that puts money in your pocket instead of buying from someone else, reading someone else's emails, or clicking on someone else's ads?

You've gotta have a reason for being in business. And that reason can't revolve around you and what you want.

So you want $1500/month in passive income. Where does that number come from? Is that what you need/want to survive? Or is that a number based on what you think the market will bear for the types of products or services you'll be providing? And how are the books you've read going to help your customers? Does the knowlege you've acquired set you apart from the competition? Or has it just filled your head with a fantasy about how easy it is to make money online?

Listen. I'm not trying to be discouraging. But right now all you've got is a dream. And while dreams can be fun, they don't pay the bills. Still, there's good news. You've got plenty of time. The internet isn't going anywhere. And you seem like you're highly motivated, self directed and intelligent -- which gives you a leg up on 99% of the people who want to "make money online".

So now take some time and think. Think about others. Think like an entrepreneur, because that's what you're looking to become. What are the skills, assets and talents you bring? What are some needs that you see in the world that either aren't being met or that you feel can be met better? And how can you use your skills, assets and talents to meet those needs.

Internet marketing isn't rocket science. It's a business like any other. And the wonderful thing about the internet is that the entire world can be your market. But of course that also means that the entire world can be your competition. So you better have something to offer your customers. So think about them and what they want. That's where you start.

Then stop it and start implanting what you've learned. You'll begin to see light after you get your hands dirty. I believe you can find answers to every question you may have in the forum.

Hey, one small piece of advice I can offer is take your $1500 and break that down in to smaller goals. Unless of course you only want to have one item worth $1500 which you would only need to sell 1/ month. But otherwise break that number down. Are you going to sell 15 products for $100 each or 50 products for $30. That will give you a manageable number to work towards.

Hi Gaske,

Welcome to the forum. There is a wealth of information here that may be of use to you.

Here is my advice:

1) Pick a system that appeals to you to earn your income and stick with it for at least six months. Most people dabble with a system and jump from product to product without ever really digging in and getting their hands dirty with it.

As far as products go, when starting out, I would focus on being an affiliate of another vendor's product, and the best products are those with a recurring monthly commission.

While you're being an affiliate, refine your OWN business model. Determine what you would like to sell, what your own interests are, and how you can serve others.

REMEMBER THIS:

"Our rewards will always be in exact proportion to our service. If you don't like your income, you must devise ways and means of increasing your service." --Earl Nightingale

All the best,

Pat

Find a niche that you are passionate about then take action by offering a premium service or product that enriches and improves people's lives.

Stop thinking and start doing what you can and do it continuously. I'm newbie but i started making information product even if not finish

Thing 'bout any advice drops here is you got OBSERVABLE STATS in the warrior bio alongside what anywan says.

So I would wanna look for people been around awhile.

They been thanked more times than they posted.

An' they liked stuff along the way.

Gotta figure plenty people stop by here tryin' to suck The Delooded into their lair.

So watch always for pearls cast before swine.

ima sure you ain't no swine, but there be plenty pearls here.

Why just the next three months if it is passive?

I'm personally not a fan of any of those options but to each their own. I'm not saying they can't work. I'm more interested in affiliate marketing and website creation.

What is your initial budget?

IMHO you may wish to consider planning on making $4-$5K per month within 2 years.



One way is to start a blog where you put out awesome content that truly helps the reader and provides value.



Find the cracks in your niche that no one else is covering or that are very low competition and start there as a new site.

Stop reading and get in action.

U r saying that u have read thoudands of tutorials/videos.

Why dont u try any one of those? Keep trying new and new things and once u find some success with something- try to scale on it.
U said fiverr. Yes. Fiverr is a good place to start. I believe most of the beginners start frm there.

If you read and watched a lot of information, why not find your way. Find a niche in which you will be interested to work. First, stop thinking about maximizing your profits. You need to first interest users, and first of all yourself.

Passive means residual. So your focus when you sell other people's products is to focus on products to sell that earn you monthly residual income. If you learn how to market and get consistent sales, you will be able to reach your goal.

Problem with ONE time commission programs is that they only earn you a commissions ONCE. So you always have to generate new sales.

The only time you can and should promote a ONE time commission affiliate programs is when you can earn bigger commissions per sale (Between $400-$5,000 per commission).

Hi,
I am also newbie in this forum . enjoying different type of discussion.
there are so many way to earn money . first focus on your strength. 3 months goal is fine but you have to work on your strength to get quick and positive result . Online Marketing , Blogging , copy writing even online trading also you can try.

Would you like to try freelancing? Selling your talent or your agency talent can be a good start.

I have a the same question but how do I start helping others on this forum?
