Finding simple strategies to make $450 a month? FBA?

Hi Stu,
What do you do currently on your job, and how much experience do you have? Members can contact you then if they require similar services and your work is worth good money. Also check out the Warriors For Hire section of the Warriors Special Offers, you could post a service there.

Hello, Stu. That is one method. I was going to recommend a product to you, but unfortunately, it's not available for sell right now. It's one of those more expensive products, where they only open the cart a couple of times a year. So instead, you might consider niche blogging, where you create a blog around a particular theme like dating, weight loss, electronics, sports, etc...and write product reviews and articles about stuff going on in your niche.

This method is used in conjunction with affiliate marketing, where you earn a commission by promoting other peoples' products, based on the things people are looking for in the search engines -- the most common way to make money online. Whenever someone comes across your blog and makes a purchase through your link, based on your recommendation, you earn a commission. It's also common to build a list of targeted buyers that you can promote products to over and over with this method.

The first thing you need to do is to decide what niche market you want to go into. An easy way to figure this out is to think about your hobbies. Most people have at least one hobby that's in a profitable niche. It's also a good idea to start here because you probably know a fair amount about many of the products in the niche and even own some of them. If a product you own is being searched for, this can save you from having to buy the product to review it or from having to ask the product creator for free access (done a lot with digital products).

If you don't have a hobby in a profitable niche, you can use a site like the magazine section of Amazon to find a niche. Magazines are broken down into niches by their very nature. After you've found your niche and some products you might want to promote (should do some research before hand), then you can by a domain, post your reviews, and work on getting traffic and so on. While niche blogs work all year around, they are especially good for the back-to-school and holiday seasons -- the time of year when marketers tend to make the most money.

When it comes to products to learn this stuff, I really recommend Affiloblueprint by Mark Ling. I really love the way he teaches the course -- by teaching you how to build a site from scratch. It's designed in such a way that you don't have to know anything. I hope this has helped some.

Good luck,
Joey

If you feel creating your own product takes up too much time you can always search for merchant that would like affiliates to promote for them. Affiliate network sites such a clickbank have tons of products for you to choose from.

Pick a couple that you are interested in and do some research on the current demand for that niche (use google keywords planner or search for related communities online). From there you can start marketing the product using videos, blogs or squeeze pages.

Congrats 5 months in advance for your marriage and best of luck for your internet marketing journey!

If you want to fast-track the whole earning process, look into private labeling products and then selling them as your own, you can have nice and fat margin, so you can reach at that earning level pretty quickly..

$500 is really an easy target, you could look into CPA marketing perhaps?

Yes making that kind of money is very doable with FBA.


You wrote "setting up a scheme" but you should think of it as building a business. There is a learning curve and you should start out small as you learn the ropes. There are various approaches to sourcing your products but once you obtain good items at the right price, get them sent to an Amazon warehouse then Amazon and their site pretty much do the rest and you get paid.

450 a month? I'm making about that much selling kindle and physical books on Amazon. Been doing it full time for about 4 months on July 25.

Your goal is definitely possible but there is a learning curve and it takes a lot of work lol. But that's true with anything. If you have 3 to 4 months to you can make that much online, no problem.

Caveat is you have to pick one thing and only one thing and focus on only that. There are so many ways to make money online that you really have to commit to one thing.

I guess I could give more tips if you want them. PM me if you like.

Make a blog and post reviews on youtube looks very good idea,what kind of product we can pick up if we dont have $$ to buy it and we also not "famous" to req some for free.Thank you guys!

My advice: keep things simple.

$450 / month equates to around $15 / day.

The model I recommend:

1. Squeeze Page.
2. Pay per lead offers.
3. Blog on the back end.
4. Drive free and paid offers.

A pay per lead offer (PPL) pays you whenever someone fills in a short or long form. It can be as simple as a name and an email address. You'll have seen them all over the net.

I earn anywhere from $1 to $12.50 for PPLs and I can convert anywhere from 1:1 to 1:20.

Where most people go wrong is just going for the quick PPL. What you want to do is collect the email first (via your squeeze) and THEN hit them with the PPL. This way, you're marketing but also giving yourself the opportunity to re-market to those subscribers.

To give you some ideas.

1. Gaming ppls pay around $1.25 to $2.50.
2. Dating ppls average around $5 to $7.50.
3. Survey ppls average around $1 to $2.50.

Those figures are higher when you're sending volume (100+ per day).

If I was in your shoes, I'd do this:

1. Decide on a niche.
2. Find out the general problem of the target audience.
3. Create a "monetized" freebie to satisfy the problem.
4. Setup my site.
5. Test it with paid traffic.
6. Correct any issues (optimize).
7. Grow free traffic.

You need around 2 to 10 ppls per day to hit your target. A trained monkey could do that, so I'm sure a bright chap like yourself can pull it off.

*Points to above*

That's your solution.

Ebay is great. It's simple and it WILL make you money. Find cheap stuff online or in thrift stores and sell it higher. Value your customers and always be honest.

One of the that strategies that I have done is to create video courses. I am sure there are areas that you may feel comfortable doing like a one hour video course that is broken down into ten minute sections. If you dont have a topic you can look at something that you are passionate about and start doing some research on it and develop like 10 key point that you talk about from what other people are teaching. There are several platfroms that you can sell the courses such as Udemy if you dont have a following. I make a decent amount of monthly revenue from Udemy for example every month for my courses and most of them I created them over a year ago and I still receive residual income .

You plan to get a job after you get married. You have 3 months with nothing to do when you get to the States and 5 months to prepare. I'm not so sure if the 3 months is inclusive within the 5 months or it's a total of 8 months you have time on your hands.

Since you only want to make money in the interim, I would suggest you get into something with a low learning curve--you'll get a day job anyway once you get hitched.

Sell at eBay or sell at Amazon. It's simple and direct. You just need to find the merchandise. You could upload videos on YouTube using GoPro or a vidcam. A caveat though, taking touristy vids of NYC is a little worn out, that is, if you want to get the views and make money. If your girlfriend has a dog, a puppy, or a kitten, cat--all the better.. These subjects get more views. You can monetize the vids with Adsense.

Taking long IM courses is good but does not guarantee you success or will make sure you'll earn money.

My 2cs.

I suggest you to follow mentors and promote great affiliate products you can get huge commission when you promote their products in best way.

You can do Fiverr arbitrage on Reddit and easily make $500 a month without sweating selling logos, articles, headers ect for $50-$75 a pop... the market is there.

Find the right subreddits and then do your stuff...
