What Would You Do?

8 years ago

It depends really.

Do I possess the skills that I have now, do I still have my email list?

If so, the answer is easy.

If NOT, then I would start launching small products right here on the WarriorForum.

A few summers ago... I launched about 10 WSO's right here on the WarriorForum.

They were tiny little products... But I sold a ton of them.

In the process, I built my audience, and stuffed my list with buyers.

That is precisely what I would focus on... Information marketing combined with email list building / marketing.

It's what I know the best, and if you do it correctly, it can work.

But you just forgot - you have no money. Launching WSO's costs money.

The whole way to make money online or off is that you need to provide value to someone somehow.

The best way in my opinion:

You don't really need to have money to get started. Unlike other businesses, IM is something you can start without having to invest any money upfront. All you need is a computer and an internet connection which you seem to have.

However, you do need money to live on and to pay your bills because it might take a while before you start making a living online. For some people, it takes a long time and there are some who will never actually make money. There are those too who will catch on very quickly.

In any case, there is a learning curve. How long it will actually take largely depends on you.

Your first paragraph is really only slightly true...and you answered why in your second paragraph

I started making money while 5 figures in debt, but here's what I learned. I had a job to pay my monthly bills (barely) so I had the luxury of not NEEDING to make money on line quickly. And it's a good thing because no money to spend means you really need time.

I used to barter skills for products - my skills for other peoples products. It's also how I started making connections.

But I didn't make real money until I "discovered" these 2 things:

- Having money to spend on your business really made the process of MAKING money much faster

- It became so much easier once I put myself out there to others (events, lunches, etc.). I found business partners, JVs and mostly some good friends. Which to this very day (12 years later since starting in IM) I still have.

I have been out of the IM game for probably 5 years now, but I still attend events and keep in touch with people. Now I focus on one project which after 2 years in the making I am almost ready to bring it to market - and all those friends I made over the years will help me get it going.

That's not bragging - just showing why putting yourself out there can be so important and help speed things up for you.

You said before that you started with $20 and were making $100 a day. Is that still working? If so, is that not enough?

If not, then could you tweak whatever you were doing before to get back to that level?

The truth is that it only worked for a while. I purchased the Andrew Hansen course and followed his techniques and it WORKED without a doubt but then my site got hit. I tried many things and eventually ended up spending the money that i had earned and some. I had made a lot of mistakes and i decided to throw the towel in. 2 years later i have decided to come back and give it another go.

Just not sure where to go from here is the problem i face today.

So you are way ahead of most people in your shoes in that you've already seen some success.

I'm not super familiar with that course but someone was just sharing that they were successful using it. Are there updates to the course? Can you do what you did but change traffic providers? If Google isn't working, then maybe FB would.

My point is that you have some knowledge and you have made money with that system so it seems tweaking may be the best bet if it is still working for anyone else.

Good luck.

No money at all..? In that case, I'd go with Fiverr and other similar sites. Provide something you're good at. Design, Articles, Recipes etc. You name it. You can literally sell anything. Sooner or later, you'll get orders. Even if you'll earn a few dollars here and there, it's still more than you have right now. Use that money to expand your business.. Get the ball rolling so to speak.

The question isn't whether it's possible. Anything is possible. The question is, is it realistic. And that depends on the individual.

Overall, I have not seen many people who made money in this business with no money to invest - at least, not quickly.

So, if you have no money coming in, MY advice would be to get a regular job and do this at night where you can spend the time learning how.

It worked for me

There are a number of ways to make money online that don't require any initial investment. Affiliate marketing for example is one of them. It may be worth spending a small amount on your own site or blog though.

Master quantum mechanics - specifically how the universe (or multiverse & membranes) can come from nothing. Absolute nothing.

Yes, it is possible. Start with affiliate marketing, and make sure you have an autoresponder to build a list. Many autoresponder services give free trials.

Then, as profits come in, scale up your business.

Provide a service that is in demand on freelancing sites. Then use the money you make to invest in a domain, hosting, and an autoresponder. Then focus on building a list in a profitable niche, and focus on building a relationship with your list and solving their problems through free content emails and promotions.

I never like the "no money scenario", it really limits your options.

IMO at the bare minimum you should at least have your own domain and hosting.. from there you can do many things..

Just out of curiosity, what hobbies, interests do you have?
What background do you have?

The more we know the better, typically if you can find something you are interested in (like a hobby) to make money from, that's normally a great way to start..

Thanks

Step 1.) Go to your local public library for free Internet access.

Step 2.) Create an account on

Paypal (to receive money)

eBay (to sell stuff)

WarriorForum (for when you have $20 to pay to launch)

Your Local Freecycle ( https://www.freecycle.org/ )

Step 3.) Visit your town's garage sales on the last day. Many folks will give things away for free. Also visit the dropoff clothing bins - often people will dump kids' stuff outside as well.

Step 4.) See what is sellable that you find.

Step 5.) List on eBay/Craigslist/etc.

Step 6.) Rinse and repeat until you have $20 to run a WSO.

OR

Step 1.) Look for free PLR online.
https://www.google.com/search?num=10...w=1&q=free+plr

Step 2.) Create a gig on Fiverr: "I will teach you" (whatever the topic of the PLR is)

Step 3.) Make gig look nice, rinse and repeat until you have $20 to list a WSO OR....

You have enough feedback to create upsell gigs.

Hope that helps!
