    Just to clarify things, can you define what you mean by "Internet Marketing?" I'd hate to see you get all excited and start investing in things without realizing you need a product to "market" on the "internet."

    What do you plan on advertising? Is it a service? A product? What do you have already and know so far?

    This is not an industry its a field of study...

    Don't think of this as a industry to be in to make money...

    It is exactly how it sounds.

    INTERNET MARKETING

    Marketing on the Internet...

    You can market anything on the internet.

    So do this it will save you time.

    1. Find something your passionate about that you like or want to learn.

    2. Find out an effective way to share your passion and help others via either a blog, social network, or video...

    3. Gain a following of like minded fans or people who like you

    4. Offer them something that can help them out in exchange for their email. Use an capture page for this.

    5. Provide good content to the list of fans, help solve their problems and provide great value

    6. Promote things to them and keep sending them back to your blog or social site.

    --------------

    If your going to invest, then invest you money into marketing and sales.

    Hi Maxx, you said you are a complete newbie so right now ur max time will be occupied in leraning the nitty-gritties. Mostly people start their IM business as part time and when they start seeing results they come full time. But note, that you'te talkin of two jobs here. Are you commited to your goal of earning from IM? IM is a business and it needs patience, commitment, dedication, passion, persistence erc. So if you dont see the results in the start will you be focussed? I ask these questions because if you get soneone to guide you, they'l be needing this commitment since they are spending their time and energy on you. So first you hav to completely make up your mind that 'quit' is not in your dictionary. Only then you'll be able to achieve your dreams.
    Regardin investment of money and time...there are many ways to start an IM business, if you decide on Network Marketin you'l need around $75 per month and just three sales to cover your cost. Of course there are other ways sone of which can be less costly, but this is what I and my team follow and seeing nice results. Regardin period, it depends upon your advertisement efforts. You can get it within 6 months too or it can take you years even, no body can predict that. However, people can give you the plan and their strategy to achieve that, rest depends on you.
    Wish you luck!

    If you really want to start from ZERO, with 2 hours a day in time.

    Then I would say, follow your passion, because it will give you the time to understand how it works, without becoming bored and frustrated because you have no results in the beginning

    Here are my thoughts:

    1) Yes, $1000-$1500/mo is a reasonable goal. But I suggest to make your initial goal of $100/mo or even lesser. Once you have made your first dollars online, you can set a higher goal. Because in the start you should focus on learning the things from start to end. Once you have mastered all steps of making money, then focus on growing and scaling it for more revenue.

    2) 2 hours per day are good, if you do spend them everyday. Also give 4-6 hours on weekends if possible.

    3) there are many ways to earn online. But you should focus only one method in the start to get quick results. Otherwise you will not be able to take action steps.

    4) I suggest you to start from "Affiliate marketing" to make money online.

    5) Start with Clickbank Affiliate program as it pays higher money as compared to other affiliate programs and it is relatively simple to make money from clickbank.

    6) If you want to earn from clickbank as an affiliate there are few simple steps. You need to read more details about them of course:

    Step-1: Select a good niche/topic by researching the clickbank marketplace. Also find good keywords related to your topic.
    Step-2: Find good affiliate products from clickbank that have good demand and relatively lesser competition.
    Step-3: Get a good domain name+hosting
    Step-4: Create a blog/website and producehigh quality content related to your niche on related keywords. Embed clickbank affiliate links within your content.
    Step-5: Use Getresponse or other autoresponder to collect email addresses of people who visit your website. Email them often with affiliate offers to earn more money.
    Step-6: Send targeted traffic to your website from free and paid sources including youtube, blogs commenting, slideshare.net, facebook etc.

    This is a simple work plan. You should spend time to learn each step in detail, make your notes and apply the things you have learned. You will be successful if you will work hard and continuously.

    Good Luck!

    Andre's comments above are very good. He says - "This is not an industry its a field of study..."

    Before you think about investing any money you should invest your time to educate yourself. Your need to design a business plan. Use this forum, particularly the search feature as a research tool and learn about different types of internet marketing and then determine what exactly you want to do and stay focused on it.

    ^^^ Pretty much that.

    But here's a question that might help shift the perspective a bit.

    Instead of asking, "how can I make €1000/month", ask "what value can I provide to people that they would willingly pay me €1000/month for"

      This hits the nail on the head!

      Have you ever considered your own products? I personally sell books (print and digital) utilizing a semi-automated business model... and "no" I am not a writer. This can easily achieve your goals with minimal investment.

      There are other ways to get into physical products without much money... there are "white label" solutions for just about anything you can think of just Google "white label XXX" (XXX being the product you are interested in selling). Then utilize a large retailer like Amazon for sales and distribution... or build an online store with a solution like Shopify.

        Start by finding your niche, that can be mobile marketing, weight loss..Most internet marketers start off by promote clickbank affiliate offers, keep in mind you need to understand how funnels work. once you learn the basics, you can setup a basic funnel and start driving traffic, a funnel is basically an autopilot system. Hope this helps

    I would:

    Learn how to market online. When you master this, you can promote anything you want in any niche.

    It will take you some time to master marketing online but it will be really worth it.

    I'm almost 100% sure you won't be able to earn anything even close to 1000$ a month in the beginning, especially if you work only 2 hours a day. I see you've put your hopes too high and you'll have to settle for less for now. Your first goal should be learning more about internet marketing and how the things work, in order to prevent getting screwed over.

    Well first if you don't know anything about Internet Marketing/CPA Marketing at all then first you need to study forums, blogs, read some related ebooks so you know where to start. It will take you 2-3 months depends on how much time you put in. After that you need to start working/testing. Of course it's possible but you need to put more then 2 hours daily.

    Whoahhhh!!! thank YPU very much for your support and committment
    I normally get up at 4am, just to have a couple of hours to study before I go to work
    I am normally out till 6,15pm...I then get home and give support to my family
    At 9pm or so I am smashed )) time to get to bed and the cycle repeats.
    No complaints, absolutely, I am committed enough to make it.
    My piont is only that I do not know really where to start to squeeze the most from the time I can commit.
    I saw a number of webinars, and apart from the big money hype displayed, it was mainly about paid traffic strategies, because it was said that seo, blogging and other organic stuff did take long to show results.
    This is the reason of my "money Investments" questions
    What is your point of view 'bout this question?
    I think i will first involve myself in Affiliate marketing studies and development...I have already a Clickbank account.
    Where can I find honest and reliable informations to get started?
    Thank you again GuyZ
    So appreciated...
