Recommendations of starting point

17 replies
I have been looking to get in to internet marketing for some time now and have tried many different courses etc. but none of them seem to do the trick for me, I really don't know what i'm doing wrong. I am a web developer so am proficient with online workings and website workings (though not great with SEO) but something seems to be missing that prevents me building a targeted list and earning money.

My question is, can any of you guys personally recommend a course or even a coach that has worked for you previously (or indeed still) that you are comfortable enough to strongly recommend.

To be clear, I am not looking for a magical make money overnight thing, I am prepared to put the time and effort in, I just want a system that works so I know I am putting my time in to something positive.

Thanks in advance for your help

    Hi Jamester,

    May I know which internet marketing business model do you intend to go into?

    Because if you are talking about internet marketing also known as online marketing or make money online, it is a very broad niche.

    It is like telling people you are thinking of setting up business but without specifiicially what kind of business you are going into.

    In offline businesses, there are retail, F & B, companies of different fields etc.

    Likewise in internet marketing, there are list building, lead generation, e-book / Amazon Kindle publishing, e-commerce, info product creation, local business consulting, mobile marketing, freelance work, social media etc.

    And btw, list building and lead generation are different though they may look alike.

    List building is for internet marketers to build their email subscriber list either through affiliate marketing or info product creation while lead generation is for offline businesses.

    Once you selected that model, stick with it until it makes you consistent online before moving into another to scale up your profits.

    Or expand upon that model.

    Like for example, if you are into affiliate marketing or info product creation, you may want to come up with more products either of your own or other people within that niche space.

    I have 2 courses to recommend you.

    One is Affilorama by Mark Ling.

    While the other is Digital Profit Master by John Thornhill.

    I wrote this text in reply to some very similar questions and here it is again for you:

    Explore different ways of earning money, focus on the one you like.

    Money online can be made in one of the following ways:

    - creating a product and then selling it
    - becoming an affiliate and then promoting other people's products
    - creating a viral content and attracting lots and lots of people to your website, then monetizing
    - buying websites and selling them for profit

    What do you want to focus on? Before you decide think how you intend to attract people because that will tell you a lot about what you wanna do.

    In order to get traffic you can:

    - use paid advertising (PPC or solo ads) - quick but requires you to spend money
    - SEO - slow and requires work, but free
    - create interesting viral stuff and distribute it fast all around the FB and other social networks
    - Email drop with reputable email companies

    What do you want?

    Not every way of making money is suitable for every type of person. I personally like affiliate marketing, most notably Amazon, that's where I make money. Other people are good at creating their own products, some people are good at viral content.

    Making money online is all about finding a very concrete way of making few dollars online and then multiplying it!

    Every way of earning money online has its rules. You must enjoy the rules of that specific way of making money if you want to be persistent and have fun. Otherwise it will all be just hard work.

    I suggest you find 5 ways of making money online. Do a proper research on what each model will require in order to be a success. The one that you see as a sweet challenge for yourself and you feel like you would be very, very happy to see it happen - go for it. Put your money there!

    You must enjoy that way of making money you choose. I still remember when I made my first 2$ with Amazon. I realized I could multiply and make more. I was so happy. I still have that feeling when I put something on the net which I know will add few dollars to my account..

    You need that feeling of earning money with something...then just work and multiply!

    Have you given 100% to all your previous courses?

    Because if you are not putting 100% of what you are learning into action, no recommendation will work for you.

    I can suggest wealthyaffiliate.com if you want to build your blog and rank it into search engine.

    Second will be chrisfarrellmembership.com if you want to do affiliate marketing.

    The business model which works for me great is this:

    Targeted Traffic-->Squeeze page--> Free Report--> Your Own Offers/Products (More is Better)--> List--> Affiliate Offer

    Rinse and Repeat.

    I hope this will help you.

    It is an open question that needs refining. What exactly you wish to learn?
    In most cases, refer to the Hubspot, Moz, Wordstream, Buffer, Hootsuite...
    Also, take a look at the Ninja Academy that is concentrating mostly on Inbound Marketing, Content Marketing and Influencer Marketing and covers the all parts of the business growth.

    Don't buy a course or a coach. 99% of them are rip offs. Read peoples case studies, ask questions on forums like you are and experiment with things you love and are good at. It's a slow process, give it time.

    I would suggest focusing on one thing and one thing only to begin with. It's easy to get distracted and it's also easy to get disillusioned if you try a scatter-gun approach of a zillion different things, and give up on them all if you're not a billionaire after 48 hours.

    The easiest ways to make quick money to begin with are content writing on content mill sites like Iwriter but if you are prepared to churn out content then start with your own blog in a niche that you have an interest in, and slowly add more and more articles and then affiliate offers

    Don't let your focus be money when starting out. Focus on solving a particular problem. Choose a particular niche and buy infoproducts that will enable you to offer value for your clients within that niche.

    Maybe go into app development. I regularly use two apps on my phone - one for recording my expenditure and one to control my TV as the normal remote has broken. Both apps have advertising and must make a good amount of money.
