    Hi there,
    So you've lost your job and you're here to make few bucks.
    And you want us to show you your way or maybe draw it for you.

    OK.
    Well, but unfortunalely for you, no one can do it.
    You have at least to show your skills or your interest. IM is so huge and the beginning should be delicate. If you go like that, you will just reap confusion, great confusin...

    There is so plenty effective ways to make money in IM. So please, tell us exactly what you want at least (i mean a plan), then you'll get more useful advices and you'll be able to focus on that.

    Welcome, thanks and good luck .

    Agree with Theyd. State your interest (potential niche) and more people can help you.

    Some people new to IM try to start out in the IM niche itself... selling IM products to others who might also wana be in the IM niche who will try to sell the IM niche yet to others... outside of the internet that's called either a Ponzi or pyramid biz!

      You may start from blogging. Although it is a slow process to earn money, it is long lasting one.
      For quick cash right now, you can do paid surveys, freelancing work in fiverr.com, etc
      Anyway, You are most welcome in IM World Barton.

    80% of all IMers don't earn 1500 pounds per month after 1 - 2 - 3 years of experience.

      If this figure is accurate, I'm amazed. Not saying you're wrong; I really have no idea. I wonder why people would continue doing IM unless they were making at least $1,000 a week.

        Don't know about the quoted figure but i would bet my house that the vast majority of people on these IM forums are not even making $100 per week.

        Why do they continue?
        A lot of false promises, exaggeration income claims, false success stories etc. Living in hope.....

      How do you know this?
      From where do this statistic come from?

      Thanks.

  • As you can see focus is important, pick something and laser focus on implementing it. Also track and test. Focus, tracking and testing is why 99% of internet warriors never make money so don't be one of them. Good luck.

    I'm sure an IM expert like yourself would be quick to agree that blogging isn't in itself a monetized activity or a business model at all, wouldn't you, Manish?

    It took me 4-5 months to get to that income level, to be honest.

    Yes ... acquire IM-education and skills. There's no money without skills.

    My advise to you would be to become an affiliate of amazon / e-bay, identify some fast moving products, write review about the products you are selling after doing some research and bang you will start earning something.

      Bang you will start earning something is only true for the 1% it's a lie for the 99%. Just want to point that out for clarification!

    You need to find a good and legitimate coach or mentor when you start out.

    If you can find a good one and have a couple thousand dollars to spend on joining a program and mastering marketing online, you probably will reach your goal.

    If you have no money right now, the best thing to do is to get another job and at the same time, do what I said above.

      Personally, I'm not sure I'd want to start out in IM if I had just lost my job. IM, like any other business, takes time to develop. It's not like a job where you put in your time and get paid in proportion to the amount you've worked. You'll likely start out making little to nothing. We spent over two months developing our site and business processes before we were even ready to launch to the public -- and given what we launched with, I think that was actually really fast. Even so, the site was incomplete when we launched, still is 2 1/2 years later, and in all reality will always be. It's a long slog.

      Right now we make more £50 a day -- quite a bit more, actually -- but like Alexa above, it took quite a bit of time before we reached that level, probably even longer than Alexa's 5-6 months. And I while I can't vouch for the 80% figure cited above, I wouldn't be surprised at all if it's true. I've read academic and government studies that have found that 50% to 90% of new businesses fail. And it's important to note that these businesses didn't fail just because their owners weren't motivated or didn't work hard. Maybe their business idea wasn't as good as they thought it was. Maybe they weren't as skilled as they hoped they were. Or maybe they were just unlucky.

      So the question you need to ask yourself is how long can you afford wait until you get to your desired payout? And can you afford it if you never reach that desired payout? and not

      I'm not saying it won't work out for you. But if you just lost your job, it may not be a risk you can afford to take -- at least not right now. Then again, maybe you have some money saved and not having competing priorities, right now is the perfect time to start a new venture. Only you know for sure.

    at first would be happy with £50 a day
    You and about a million others.

    Please don't! Paid "surveys" are a newbie trap/scary horror show!

    80% of all IMers don't earn 1500 pounds per month after 1 - 2 - 3 years of experience.
    I would put the estimate much higher.

    If this figure is accurate, I'm amazed. Not saying you're wrong; I really have no idea.
    Don't look now but your "experience" is showing...

    How do you know this?
    From where do this statistic come from?
    From many years of experience and research. I would put the number at 95% or higher.

    Don't know about the quoted figure but i would bet my house that the vast majority of people on these IM forums are not even making $100 per week.

    Why do they continue?
    A lot of false promises, exaggeration income claims, false success stories etc. Living in hope.....
    Wise words!

    The irony here is palpable.
    Get used to that.

    You need to find a good and legitimate coach or mentor when you start out.
    I agree.

    I would start with cpa..

    If you do enough volume you can start getting paid weekly. Its the closest thing to having a sense of security online.

    so first I would begin building a list, and then directing them to a page that presells them a cpa offer and when they clickthrough you present them with an offer to purchase or to optin to in which you get paid for.

    To be successful at internet marketing, you need to have money to start with. I mean, this is a hobby that you peck away at night while watching your favorite TV show.

    So, here's my advice: get another job while planning your site. When I'm busy I just transcribe my words in a notebook.
