Henry,

It doesn't matter if you're not good at something now, or if you don't know much about a certain tactic. All of this can be learned if you're willing to take the time to do so.

What I'd honestly recommend is finding one method that's profitable, can be scaled up, and is interesting to you. Invest all of your time into mastering this one method. With internet marketing, it's better to be a master of one tactic than to be a 'jack of all trades' so to speak.

On a side note, I'd also get another offline job until the online thing kicks off. You don't want that kind of pressure on you. It can take a while to learn the ropes and chances are you will make mistakes, as all of us have.

Best of luck!

I recommend learning most of the things you mentioned; most of them are essential ingredients to IM success.

You can buy a domain & hosting, then hire any freelancer to make website. after completing the website, you can hire another freelancer to write content. original content only. No plagiarism. then try to increase your site traffic. now you have the time to earn money. you can affiliate program or, Adsense.

I would recommend a coach as well or at least investing a little into a program that can put some structure around what you are trying to accomplish. It is extremely easy to start chasing "shiny things" in any of these spaces. Best of luck!

Try to set up an amazon affiliate site in a niche that you have dome knowledge of. Write product reviews in this niche

If you know something in promoting products, CPA, List building .... then try to build an excellent online business with your money and time.

If you are newbie I advice to get a coaching or some video courses to learn and implement.

id recommend a program that has all the tools to be able to generate a great income for you and also something that enables you to learn from experts in the industry.

I disagree with hiring a coach, because I think since you have time. you can pretty much learn everything online. If you want to build a list, then that's a good idea. Look for some good webinars, and tutorials that give you some good tips on how to build and manage your list.

If you're going with this strategy then you'll also need to ensure that the emails being sent to your list have high deliverability. This means that you will need to ensure that the emails you are sending are actually being read, and they're not being transferred to the spam folder or being lost during the way.

you can do this for free on winning email.

How to make your own list

Henry, building a list is awesome idea for start. You can monetize your list on many different ways...

Hi Henry,

Lots of the standard recommendations. I would support the idea of getting a coach because that should take you less time to see profitable results.

I personally have tried the standard recommendations. That is the finding a niche, getting hosting, setting up the website or blog, using compelling content, getting your squeeze page and autoresponders and on and on and on. No positive income results for me.

I've tried SEO, got excellent results ranking on page 1 for Google, Yahoo, Bing searches but no income.

I bought PLR products thereby giving me 100% commissions on someone else's product. I have done the ClickBank etc affiliate products. Driving traffic using PPC, Facebook ads, again the standard recommendations. Sales did NOT cover ad costs.

When I finally got positive results in two (2) months, it was because of a joint venture (JV) partnership.

The JV partnership opened up for me a total and successful online marketing system. Training, squeeze pages, swipes, autoresponders, back-end support staff and follow-up sales, product testing and development, etc, etc.

If that is what coaching does. I say go for it. Once you start earning enough to live with surplus to invest, then use the skills you would have learnt to launch out on your own.

LB.

Get a new job, only 5% make good money and it takes them a few years. If you're serious then you will work it around your job, then quit. $$

Get started on learning these things. 1 forum post on this site won't solve the *real* problems you have when it comes to starting out. If i had to recommend anything... especially if you're not skilled with info-product creation (or ebook creation)... start with affiliate marketing. There are great threads and content in the war room and free wso's that will show you how to have success with it. It really is an easy process man. I'm confident that you'll get the hang of it soon.

If you have enough money, why not build unique website ideas and promote them via PPC? Fastest and has worked well for me

Forum posting can be effective if done in the correct ones. As is getting involved in some Facebook Groups. Make sure to study relationship building otherwise you are starting the list for nothing. You have to know how to communicate to a list.

If you have to ask where to invest your money in IM, you're really not ready to put it anywhere. Save your cash until, as a business owner, you understand where to spend it.

Steve

If you have money and time, just spend the money to make you living wisely and use your time to learn new things.

Remember I did not said buy something for now, you need spend time to learn how you can spend your money wisely.

When it is IM, you can not learn everything, the best thing is try to narrow your focus first and work on a niche. Make some money and go ahead. Do it repeatedly and people will call you a successful IM professional.

Hope this helps

investing in at least 5 different niche instead of investing in 1 niche

I would suggest learning the basics of IM picking a niche that interest you and begin building a list in that niche.

Find a niche and build list around it. It's a long term business model. If you don't know anything about list building, you have to spend some time to learn it. But it is worthy.

Here: Learn how to make a product in 3 minutes.

From the greatest marketer of all time and my pal. Frank Kern

Frank Kern how to make a product - YouTube

1) Find a product or program to promote

2) Create a sales funnel that converts - you did this by adding massive value and once you pitch your audience will buy from you because they find you credible

3) Make sure you drive massive volume - start with one traffic generation to start with. I highly recommend free FB marketing and PPC

Before investing money anywhere, you need to have enough knowledge & experience in that niche. so first of all, please take some knowledge, then you can start your business. If you start business, before knowing well, you may be in loss. Thanks

Pay a coach who is successful in your goals

Find a system that already works.

Don't start worry about building lists, copy writing and making video's.

If you do your research you'll find people and products out there that already offer everything you need, and your single goal will be to one thing. Deliver Traffic.

Keep it simple and you can't go wrong.

All The Best.

Step one: Watch the Frank Kern 3 min. video posted by Robert in this thread.

Step two: Read this FREE report; www.gjabiz.com/free.pdf

Step three: Create your first product, maybe free to collect a list.

OK, Frank Kern shows you how to create a product, read a few books on a subject, dictate a report (Dragon Naturally for paid, similar FREE products),

Then, using all free stuff, like DropBox and other tools in the short report, you set it up.

This is to give you a fast start, a quick peek at IM, with basic lessons, without spending any money.

I'm going to give you the first product, a special report:

HOW TO GROW STEVIA FOR FUN AND PROFIT.

Think you can find anything about Stevia in the next few hours?

Then, you can use dropbox to host the report, use your signature file here at WF to begin to sell it, you can create a simple capture page, also at dropbox, use Free MailChimp to start a list...and all this within the next 24 hours, not spending a single dime and giving yourself the opportunity to LEARN some basic fundamentals and tools of IM.

You need a product (or service to sell).
You need a way to get eyeballs (start with sig file here).
You need a squeeze, or email capture page.
You need a report or a FREEBIE to give away.

You will then build a list and get buyers. Stevia product fits into the Health as well as the homesteading and several other markets. I use Stevia as an example for YOU.

So, START now. USE free. Decide a plan of action. But the very first thing you need to be successful is...

a GOAL and a PLAN to achieve it. Sadly, it is what most people in your situation never get around to doing until after they have spent time and money to get no results.

OK, there you go.
