If you make money online and you can teach me to do the same then I will pay you 20 % of the money I make with your method for the next six months. Anyone interested? PM me!

      Pay me $100 per hour and I'll coach you.

      Otherwise. go find somebody willing to work for nothing, because 20% of
      nothing is nothing.

        I'll do it for $125 an hour. I put in hundreds of hours learning IM and spend thousands on training. I give enough free stuff away on my YouTube.

        Great point Steve !!!

        Look, stop being a cheap son of a gun and invest in your education.

        Research a top coach (get references, success stories, etc.) pay him what
        he wants and work with him. Do EVERYTHING he tells you to do.

        Either that or you have 2 choices.

        1. Go it on your own.

        2. Forget about trying to make money online and go get a job working at
        a Burger King.

        Get serious or do something else.

            MagicAce (Marian), I'm not going to pile on here. I'm just going to offer you a little different perspective on what you are asking for.

            You wanted "coaching", right?

            A coach's main job is to make you better at what you are already doing. An athlete doesn't look to acquire a coach to find out whether he should play hockey or go into figure skating, right?

            The athlete says, "I want to be a better hockey player." A good coach can watch them play and hand them a list of things to do - improve their shot, learn to take a body check, improve their pivot, etc. Then a coach (or more likely multiple coaches) can map put a series of steps and exercises and drills to accomplish the items on the list. Finally, a good coach can look at the athlete's performance and point out when the performance diverges from the ideal.

            It sounds like you have a vague idea of what you want to do. Now spend some time visioning, seeing in your mind's eye what that ideal future looks like. Fill in the details. Then you can work backwards and start listing the skills and insights you will need to reach that point. Once you have that list, you'll have a better idea of what kind of specific coaching you need and how to get it.

            Make sense?

              John...I can't believe you've only been thanked 1,000 times with all
              the incredible posts you make.

              Maybe it's the fish.

              All kidding aside, excellent advice as usual.

              You are probably right. Maybe I didn't understand too well what John asked me to do. Maybe I overcomplicated it in my head. Nevertheless I learn from my mistakes. Thanks for explaining me so well what I was supossed to do.
              You were offered help from top members in exchange for doing a bit of work for yourself. You didn't even acknowledge the offers of help - nor ask for clarification of the 3 simple steps John listed.

              I hope you did learn from that mistake - it's a big lesson for those who ask for help. The problem may be you have a vision in your mind of what "mentoring" is - and your vision of mentoring may be unrealistic.

              I'd advise you to go back to John's post and DO those three steps anyway as they will help you focus on what you want to do and where you need to start.

    These kind of topics keep popping up every now and then.

    Here's the response you generally get:

    "Why would I put a lot of my high-priced time in you, for just 20%"

    Heck, I wouldn't even do it for 100% Just because I don't know you at all.

          Because learning what to do isnt enough...

          You need to know when and how to apply it, and thats different for every site and coaching allows your coach to give you personalised advice for your site

          other wise its just generalities which isnt much help to most people

            [QUOTE=Robert Puddy;2187152]Because learning what to do isnt enough...} Fair comment, But like the original Poster said he new to internet marketing and i do understand what you are saying You could have the best coach or way to learn online business and making money online. But without putting it into play its completely useless.


            You need to know when and how to apply it, and thats different for every site and coaching allows your coach to give you personalised advice for your site

            other wise its just generalities which isnt much help to most people

            You missed out on my whole point robert like most online i started my businesses online as intrests which then grew to to a business in a time Coaching was carrying price tags of 1400 dollars,999 dollars and 499 dollar price tags yet the op wanted to give 20%per cent on what he earned or aquired on the coach. Like how some warriors have mentioned already they would not invite the offer.

            Thats why i suggest free methods like on here and Ed dales 30 day challenge on you tube as free coaching.

    These threads remind me of my wife's students (she's a school teacher)

    They do no work all year, fail, and then come to her and see "Hey Mrs.
    Wagenheim, give me a D and I promise to start working"

    Yeah, right.

    Everybody's looking for a handout in life and I'm sick of it.

    Nobody handed me NOTHING when I was tossed out of a job after 6 years
    and had to turn to the Internet. I had to do EVERYTHING myself.

    I figured it out, but wish to God I could have found somebody I could have
    paid to help me. Would have saved me a lot of grief.

    Anyway, I gotta go and let the rest of steam out of my ears.

    Sheesh.

        Never actually developed the coaching programs that would be underneath the offers, unfortunately. I may revisit the idea sometime, though.

      Money, however, is leveragable. Money can grow, in a sense. Money can SORTA buy you time. (meaning freeing up time that must be spent learning or doing, etc.) If you pay for accelerated learning, then you take LESS time to get to your goals, which in the longer run of things is priceless.

      The mindset of free can only take you so far.

      True business is about leveraging investments properly, which those investments can multiply when done right.

      Lets take this for example - which is more powerful:

      You writing articles for traffic or paying for traffic?

      Paying for traffic is far more powerful.

      Why?

      Because once you get the traffic to give you more money than you pay - you can quickly ramp it up.

      However, if you just write articles, you reach a bottleneck. Sure, you may get damn fast at writing articles, but there is STILL only so many hours a day you can crank out article after article.

      So, if I buy coaching off of Frank Kern, and his leverage (his knowledge, partners and contacts, email list, etc.) can take me from 0 to 1 million in less than a year (compared to doing it for free and taking 3 to 5 years), which is the better value? Obviously forking over the 100 + thousand dollars!

      Rob
      I actually hate writing for this very reason Rob stated. Writing
      to get traffic is the worst possible way you can make money
      online, trust me.

      My thing is this...I woud rather get a part-full time job and
      make money THAT way to spend on marketing and advertising
      to generate traffic instead of taking the risk of writing articles
      that may or may not drive ANY traffic to begin with.

      Most people have trouble risking money, me...I have a hard
      time risking time I could spend sky-diving, hang gliding, partying
      or spending time with family.

      John, you are a good one. There is no way, I would do
      even that. I've done something similar with someone
      I'm close to (roughly same steps), and it was a night
      mare because he wanted me to do almost everything
      for him!

      I vowed, to never do anything like this again. But I resp-
      ect what your doing. Hope this person follows through.

      Alright. So a lot of people began making a lot of buzz that I didn't took up on the very generous offers that I got ( for which I thank you by the way ) but nobody thought that the offer that John Taylor made to me was based on a presume that I was a little more advanced that I am.
      If I was so advanced that I knew what business I want to run in a 3 years time from now I probably woudn't make this thread in the first place. As a begginer all I know is that you can make money as an affiliate, internet marketer, by CPA, by writing a book....etc From that and knowing what kind of business I want to run in a three years time it's a lot.
      Yes maybe after I start making lots of money by one of the above means I decide...Hey I want to start doing that on a greater level. That will be my business! As for my dream is to write books on many subjects as I have read a lot, know about a multitude of things, I love learning and I love writing.
      If I didn't take up on the very generous offers that doesn't mean I am not serious about working to make money online or that I stopped learning, thinking is to much to learn. I am still learning and I will.
      So thank you for your offers John Taylor, Craig Desorcy and Steven Wagenheim. If it would have been to be a little more advanced I would've took up on your offers because then 30 minutes of your time would have been more valuable as I would have a more better undertanding and learn much more in that time.
      I'm not trying to disagree with you that are saying I'm not serious I am just saying my side of things.

      Thanks too all that gave me information and the others offers as well which some of them I am still pursuing.

      Be well,
      Marian

        You really need some tough love buddy. You are not alone, I need it too. I am a procrastinator extraordinaire. And I change my mind more often than I change my socks.

        The point I wanted to make is that if you don't know where you want to go, how in hell will you know when you get there. You have to know where you are going before you take the first step. Just decide what you WANT TO DO, you can change your mind later if it doesn't work out for some reason. You weren't expecting a coach to tell you what to do in regards to which direction you would go, where you? I hope not, as I don't think that is going to happen. Lots of people on this forum will help you with what ever you want to do, but you have to know what you want to do, then ask for help with it.

        Good luck. It ain't rocket science, but it is work. And you have to make choices, the first one is what direction you are going to take.

    The only way to find out is to give it a go. One thing that is for certain is you can make money online.

    If a particular step does not work, try something else until you find a forumula that works and suits you.

    Sorry, that tells me you didn't try any of those "books and videos"... otherwise you would know which method works for you and which one doesn't.

    Because it doesn't really matter what you have (on the shelves and on your HD). You can have all the books in the world about IM. If you don't do anything with the knowledge aquired from them, if you do not try them, if you don't take action... nothing will help you.

    This is a losing proposition for both parties involved. Meaning that the so called coach would be exactly that- so called as no one in their right mind would accept this kind of agreement. Think of it in terms of hourly income. Someone is making 4k per month working 3 hours per day. 4k divided by 90 (total hours of work per month - 3X30). We'll approximate it to 100 hours of work for demonstration purposes. That means he is making $40 an hour.

    Now assume he is coaching you. He invests 1h a day in you for 30 days. Let's say that at the end of 30 days you make $1k (yes I'm know, I'm totally optimistic). End of month you pay him 20% of the $1k that means $200 for a total of 30 hours of work that he invested into you. But if he would have stuck to his own thing that 30 hours would have meant $1200. So he's $1k short. And this is the most optimistic of the optimistic examples. Assuming that you actually do the work, that you will keep your end of the bargain and so forth.

    And the other side of the problem is this. What type of expertise does he have, what type of results does he produce. Cause if the takes on such a deal he can't be that much of a..thinker. Which would mean lack of coaching skill, ability to give you a clear and concise applicable blueprint.

    See the problem?

    Maybe you could work for free for a potential coach and if they like your work they might agree to coach you. ;-)

    This was the answer suggested to me by a friend of mine for people who present ideas like this.

    Noone is going to coach you for a deal like that.

    5 years ago I was in your position. I posted a thread that said "I will work for free". I didn't even ask for anything in return except the expectation that I would learn how someone's busness worked by working in it. I had several offers and 5 years on I'm making a decent living.

    Try the same approach and see what happens.

      Yup, I totally agree with this. Put some free 'internship' hours to learn, heck maybe even get trusted enough to start some joint ventures.

      I'm new to IM but I've been chatting and working with a really awesome IMer that's doing VERY well. I offer all my help for nothing to just watch what he's doing.

      @MagicAce I left you a post on how to get started, if you need more help pm me.
      I won't ask you to do anything for me and i don't want your 20% , i don't buy anything. Some people here are around 60 and they still call themself a whiz "kid", i kid you not.

      Don't worry dude, there is alot of people out there to help you.

        Please take this the right way, as that is the way it is intended.

        Being able to graciously deal with things that rub you the wrong way would be a good step in the right direction.

        Believe it or not, EVERY post you seem to be having a problem with is intended to HELP you. In a way, it's a form of coaching. But your attitude speaks volumes.

        Some HAVE offered you coaching.

        John Taylor's offer was more than fair, it was generous. In fact, if you would re-read it with an open mind, you would see that he was actually starting the coaching process.

        Don't get mad about the responses, learn from them. There is much more gold just below the surface than you may realize.

        All the best,
        Michael

        p.s. Whoever it was that thought some were being greedy because they didn't want to meet the terms of the offer...what about asking for hours, and hours of somebody's time with no promise of a return? How isn't that greedy also? (Not saying the OP is being greedy. Just using the SAME definition of greed and making a comparison from the other point of view)

    Stede,
    Most IM trainers have around a 3% success rate. They say it is because people don't try, I really don't think that could explain such a low number.
    By itself, it doesn't. Most people who are doers think that any form of failure results from lack of action. That is not an accurate conclusion.

    It's true that most people don't take action. A lot of the people who do the work still fail. In my experience, that's usually because they don't know how to accept and adjust to feedback. Which is to say, they don't know how to learn.

    Hi there

    I find it quite shocking to have seen some of the replies to your thread.

    I also find it quite unfair but only if you are a complete beginner.

    If you are not then you should know what you are walking into but you know what is the most important element in a web business?

    To make money online you need to have THE CORRECT MINDSET.

    It only takes having the correct mindset and everything else can be learned.

    Making money online is a skill but just like any skill it can be learned. So I advice you to get your attitude right if you want to make a living from the web.

    Hope that helps

    kindest
    abdi adan

    there is a link below to an ebook that could help you adopt the correct mindset

      Yes, that does indeed work, provided you have the smarts and discipline to
      go it alone. It's how I did it.

      It also took me years to reach a full time income because I made so many
      mistakes.

      Had I a coach to train me correctly from the beginning, I can honestly
      say it would have added $500,000 to my bottom line over the course
      of the last 7 years.

      It all comes down to what your priorities are.

      Ah, if all of life's answers were so simple

      Simply having information available does not guarantee that it will help. With the internet today, I could find information how to build my own house for free (not including materials). Does that mean I should?

      People have different ways of learning and comprehending. I tried my hand at taking college classes on line and failed miserably. You know why?

      Because with all of the reading, assignments, etc. I am a BETTER STUDENT when someone teaches me. Plain and simple.

      I did all of the "free" methods when I started out on line. In fact, I did it that way for 4 years. I made a little money, but was missing a few key elements before I hit my stride.

      Elements I learned after paying for help. After I was able to ask the right questions and get more specific answers.

      Coaching isn't right for everyone. But neither is learning on your own right for everyone. That's why the "Hey - all this information is free - you're a fool if you pay" response is ill-informed and can (for some people) do more harm than good.

          You know what I find most interesting about this thread...

          If the OP was serious about putting in the work, they could have started a project. Butsed their butt on it for a month and started a post describing exactly what they've done and asked for guidance. And they likely would have gotten guidance worth much more than they would from anyone willing to accept 20% commission from a beginner with an unproven work ethic.

          Yes, most people value their time. But most will also give a little to someone who has proved through past efforts that it won't be given in vein.

          People are much more likely to offer guidance when they're being asked to fan an already burning flame rather than be the spark. There's a lot less wasted time and effort that way.

      ok im not going to say "But your not established"

      2 things though

      I spent over a year giving free coaching, to anyone that wanted to turn up in my conference room once a week.

      The result was the same people turned up every week and at the end of the year they were still moaning about the same things, asking the same questions.

      And not doing what they were told

      Its very disheartening


      I vowed never to give free coaching again

      I now have a coaching program it costs 2k while there are still a lot that dont do anything with it, the ones that do have gone on to be full time. they are the ones that keep my interest

      and they are the reason i can no longer give free coaching even if i got the urge to do so... wouldn't be fair on the ones that paid.

    If you have to have a coach hold your hand to get going around the track you need to get a job and not even attempt this. I'm not dissing coaching at all but most people who get anything out of coaching are already jogging and wanting to sprint down the track.

    Nobody liked that idea. So I suggested that there be an up-front fee, and then at the end of the course I'd buy either site or both of them for 50% of the up-front fee.

    Nobody liked that idea, either.

    Do you know what idea they did like?

    Coach people for free, and let them pay you whatever they think it was worth when you're done.

    You know what?

          Paying 20% of your potential income is not a good reward. Because there are a lot of risks involve. For those people who already knows how to make money online consistently, I'm not sure if they are willing to invest their time to coach you. You actually don't need to pay 20% of your income to someone, because those people have already established their business and the money is working for them instead of having them to work for money.

          Why not join a membership site or a masterclass that teaches people how to make money online or how to build your business in the shortest time possible? You can pay a monthly fee like $37 or $47 a month, and they will provide you all the tools you need. If you are just starting out and doesn't have enough budget to join those membership sites, why not find a mentor and copy his work? You can join to someone that is already successful in his mailing list, and he'll provide you free newsletters, tips on how to make money. By just looking around this forum, you can even learn for free.

          Hope this helps.

    You can make a lot of money online and there are thousands of way of doing it. You can make a website and or blog and talk about something you know about. Put google adsense ads on your blog and sell advertising space. Its a long and boring process. Or you can go with affiliate marketing or mlm or SEO. if other people can do it, I know you can, you don't have to be brilliant, you just have to be dedicated to making money online.

    If you'll let me put in my 2 cents. Firstly, there's no harm in you asking, if you don't ask, you don't get and all that.

    With that said, in the past I've paid for some expensive one to one coaching before. Now, often the mindset of somebody wanting coaching is, they think they are going to be some some secret strategy, or secret method of doing something that's going to make you money. The truth of it is, if you look at people who are successful at Internet Marketing, they all have one thing in common....they've all worked bl**dy hard!!!

    As already mention by others here, there are many methods listed on this very site which outline how to make money, like creating your own products for example, or bum marketing or whatever, but they all take work!! You also need to have faith in those methods otherwise you'll never put the 110% required work in.

    I once paid my Kung Fu instructor £70 for an hour private tuition, I guess for the same reasons, thinking I would learn a secret that would put me above the rest of the class. For the first 10 minutes, he just made me do a horse stance!! I was thinking "what the f**k, this is the same as what we do in the class"..then the penny dropped. There IS NO secret, other than the harder you work, the better you will get.

    So, if you do go down this coaching line, don't be disappointed if you're told "1, create website, 2 write articles or learn PPC" etc...because at the end of the day, this is all there is too it, all those who fail simply didn't work hard enough or long enough. It's funny when you see people write "I've been doing this for 2 months now and not made any money". It can take years to get to the stage of giving up your job.

    If I had my time again, I would have just picked ONE method (either affiliate marketing or product creation) and one niche, then just did work at it until successful.

    Hope this helps some what.

    Phil

    Just curious, are you willing to spend any money up front? For hosting, design, an autoresponder, etc?

    Successful marketers spend money all the time, and it would be impossible for you to duplicate the results if you don't duplicate the methods, and that includes buying the same things used by your coach.

    If so, then the coach could make a little money if they would send you through their affiliate links.

    - - - - - - - - - -

    I have coached people for free in the past. By that I mean I didn't charge them any money. However, I would have them write articles, or do something else to help me out AND teach them things that would help them.

    In all that time, I had ONE student that wrote 2 articles; 3 students that wrote 1 article, and the rest? Well, I have no idea what happened to them, because they mysteriously disappeared at the moment they realized they were going to have to do some work.

    All the best,

        Sorry to hear about the shortage, I remember what it's like.

        Excellent! The reason I asked was to see if you were willing or not. I wasn't making any assumptions.

        How good are you at design?

        Can you design for others?

        Have any samples?

        If so, you can spend a few dollars and post in the Warriors For Hire section. If you do good work you will have plenty of work to keep you busy and profitable.

        All the best,

            Cool! I hope you do well with it.

            I am not a lawyer, but as far as copyright goes, it's my understanding that copyright exists from the moment of creation.

            You can add the copyright symbol, and the year it was copyrighted, if you like. You do not have to spend money and file with a government agency to use the mark.

            However, (again, I'm NOT a lawyer) I believe you have extra protections if you DO register the copyright.

            All the best,

    Tough break dude...I suppose it was worth a try.

    There was one genuine offer by the looks of it though. You just have to do prep work to get approval. Which is a good offer.

    Alternatively, there are lots of affordable methods available from WSO.

    My advice would be to pick one which is well and favourably reviewed, and stick to it. Look for a highly regarded newbie program.

    They're usually easy enough to follow.

    But the key is to stick to one method at a time. It's harder to spread your capacity to learn over many different methods/topics.

    Why don't you do what the books tell you to do and keep all the money for yourself?

    But I don't know if something works!
    And no one here knows if you will work, so why would they waste their time? Actually, scratch that, since you haven't yet, I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that you won't work.

    I jumped into a 12k per year coaching program in my offline biz (martial arts school) many years back. That decision was responsible for the school going from barely paying the bills to grossing 40k per month (that's a lot for a martial arts school, by the way).

    This is my little secret to success. I'm not going to say it is what everyone should do, but it has worked for me. That is, to really make it, you need to have some skin in the game.

    I had a guy who was a free mentor provided by an industry organization my school belonged to. He gave good advice but I never took it. Wasn't until I mortgaged the future of my business by coming up with 12k dollars that I followed through.

    Once I did that, I literally did EVERYTHING they told me to do. Right down to the tiniest detail. Like if my coach told me to wipe with my left hand, I would have done it.

    The results spoke for themselves.

    I recently decided to take my part time IM business full time. And I knew I would need to put some more skin in the game. so I am getting out of the martial arts business and plunked down 10k dollars for a weekend with Rich Schefren.

    Without getting into the details of the sale- long boring story- I am selling to my partner. not getting my sale money up front and it isn't a ton of money any way. so next month I will go from a nice monthly share of the gross to nothing.

    My method of putting skin in the game to the point of sleepless nights started when I cornered one of the top martial arts school owners in the country at a seminar. I explained i am running this school part time and it's going no where fast while killing me. I asked him what I should do. He told me to jump off the cliff. Really. He said that.

    He explained what that meant was that I should quit my day job and work harder in my school, pay for a coach and do what the coach tells me to. So I did.

    If I don't throw myself off the cliff, I will never do all the little things needed to succeed. No what I mean? Got to have skin in the game.

    I am not saying you should quit your day job or put a 3rd mortgage on your home or sell a child. My wife worked full time so a lack of income from me wasn't going to kill us. But it put a huge crimp in our lifestyle and made it a lot scarier to not succeed.

    You must make some kind of investment if you really want to be successful.

    I think you've got guts and I like that. My schedule is swamped but I am going on vacation soon. PM me next week and I will give at least 30 minutes of my expertise which cost 10 years of corporate experience and over $200,000+ worth of education from the world's most selective universities (plus plenty of trial and error....)

    The problem a lot of time with people wanting coaching free is that most people expect others to fix them.

    People don't realize that it doesn't matter how great the coaching is it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to make yourself succeed. No one can do it for you. The really smart people will use great coaching in order to make themselves better. But a lot of people waste great coaching because they think the coaching will make them better (instead of putting responsibility on themselves).

    My 2cents is, if your getting trained for free, you don't realise how valuable the info you are getting and also how valuable your mentors time actually is, but when you spend money and get a mentor it all changes, probably down to the fact of "the value of money" hmmmm

      If the person was a real go getter then 20% would be a good payday - if you can get 1 website up and 4 articles linked to it and submitted and promote clickbank - why not right! I'm not going to do it - busy doing my own thing but there are coaches on here and for them - they will know within 2 days if you're for real or not! I sold a 18 CD audio set on marketing from Ebay - sold 1,000 of them - only 2 people every contacted me to say Disk 10 had a problem - out of 1,000 only 2 actually got to disk 10! And I can fall into that cateogy as well so I better get back to getting a website up a day!

    That actually is the TRUTH.

    Without skin in the game, most people will NEVER take action. This is so sad because even if most folks who have been online for even a few months, if they put what they knew into action, they'd get results that would allow them to achieve a level of personal and financial independence for the rest of their life.

    And as was stated so clearly by another respondent, 20% of nothing is...Nothing.

    Everything works, some methods better than others, but the key (I believe for most, including myself) is to...

    ...specialize in one area and don't go astray until you make that work.

    I started semi-seriously when I was 18, and it wasn't until I was 22 that I really started earning (when I started following things through 100%.) A year later, I quite my first job out of college and have never looked back. You can spend years on forums, doing a bit of everything, and not accomplish ONE THING.

    Out of everything I dabbled in, affiliate marketing was the first real success that took the least amount of effort for me (I made $1000's / month very quickly once I got serious and took action.)...

    The "conduit method" is very easy to follow and almost impossible to fail at. Look up Chris Rempel... he doesn't slam you with "RSS" "Article Marketing" "Social Media this and that", etc. ... just simple product review pages that you throw some backlinks at... really simple stuff that works.

    Whatever you elect, you gotta just DO IT, and once it works SCALE IT by outsourcing.

    Cheers!

    This is an interesting thread, I read through it and saw a couple of really interesting offers, from some very successful names, here,

    Steven Wagenheim
    John Taylor
    Craig Desorcy

    Man I would have taken that and run with it, You could have taken a day or two to write down some questions, and interviewed them on skype.

    Recorded it and produced an MP3 file, along with a report.

    Then, of course you would need to actually be willing to take some advise and work for it, but you could have produced a product.

    Sold it on a WSO,

    I know many people who would like to pick the brains of those guys.

    I actually am activly looking for someone to run a test case for a product that I am developing, sort of a here is a person who used my system and achieved these results.

    I offered it to two different people and never heard from them again.

    Now, I am not a big time guru, like some, but I have over 40 websites, that produce traffic, I have products, and I have expertise, if a person follows a plan it will work, but sadly you have to ask why do they never follow through.

    If you could figure that out, you would not only be rich but wise in the bargain.

    But I will make an offer here to anyone that at least can show that they are willing to try, by being in a position to take advantage of knowledge and the tools that are available.

    1. have a website,
    2. have hosting,
    3. be willing to put at least three hours a week into working.

    But the thing is and this is sort of frustrating, most people are not even willing to go that far, sorry if that sounds cynical, perhaps it is, but you can get a website for like 10 bucks a year, hosting for as little as 5 bucks a month.

    And you can install wordpress in less than ten minutes.

    To me if a person is not willing to at least do those three things.

    Website, hosting, work,

    then they are not serious about succeeding online.

    just a thought.

      I think that has been figured out already. That is the easy part. Figuring out a way to actually change that behaviour is what would make you rich.

        at the risk of getting OT, LOL, (I know this topic has been like a roller coaster)

        That is the point you cannot change a persons behavior,;

        You can influence them, but the very word motivate, in the original latin, or very close to that, (allow me a small liberty)

        Motus, or movement, comes from within.

        You cannot move someone from within by attempting to make them from without.

        So, in effect, they must make up their mind to be motivated.

        again the latin, from within... Comes motus, or motivation.

        If a guy would rather sit on the couch and play, video games, for 4 to 6 hours a day than to do some work...

        Then they will end up being a great video game player. . .

        But sadly not much else.

    Yikes - 20% Do we use your money?

    There is no substitute for the benefit of long term exposure. We must "embed" ourselves in this stuff long enough for our brains to think in what I call "channel philosophy"

    And it's different for everyone.

    Also DO not OVER THINK Internet Marketing. It's not complicated.

      What I'm going to do is to show you HOW to make money. We'll have to set it up so I can verify sales, which won't be hard to do.

      If he doesn't take you up on it, I just might. LOL.

      All kidding aside, people come here, ask for help, and then nada.

    Interesting thread this. A lot of people are right... 20% isn't an awful lot.

    If it was me, I would have said... 90% of all my efforts and the 10% is to cover my time and resources spent like website hosting etc. I would do this for a specified time period and after that I would go it alone, meaning I make a 100% profit after the specified time frame.

    But these days people are just concerned about themselves. There are very people in this life that would genuinely want to help someone. Sad fact!

    Your intentions are good, but your idea is flawed, as ccmusicman and others have pointed out. I think you can find a good coach right here, but be prepared to do the following:
    1. Get recommendations of who is good
    2. Put money up front...$1,000 to $2,500,
    3. Work your but off....

    I'm sure it will work for you.

    Alright. So a lot of people began making a lot of buzz that I didn't took up on the very generous offers that I got ( for which I thank you by the way ) but nobody thought that the offer that John Taylor made to me was based on a presume that I was a little more advanced that I am.
    If I was so advanced that I knew what business I want to run in a 3 years time from now I probably woudn't make this thread in the first place. As a begginer all I know is that you can make money as an affiliate, internet marketer, by CPA, by writing a book....etc From that and knowing what kind of business I want to run in a three years time it's a lot.
    Yes maybe after I start making lots of money by one of the above means I decide...Hey I want to start doing that on a greater level. That will be my business! As for my dream is to write books on many subjects as I have read a lot, know about a multitude of things, I love learning and I love writing.
    If I didn't take up on the very generous offers that doesn't mean I am not serious about working to make money online or that I stopped learning, thinking is to much to learn. I am still learning and I will.
    So thank you for your offers John Taylor, Craig Desorcy and Steven Wagenheim. If it would have been to be a little more advanced I would've took up on your offers because then 30 minutes of your time would have been more valuable as I would have a more better undertanding and learn much more in that time.
    I'm not trying to disagree with you that are saying I'm not serious I am just saying my side of things.

    Thanks too all that gave me information and the others offers as well which some of them I am still pursuing.

    Be well,
    Marian
    Marian,

    I hear what you are saying, but you need some tough love. You sound like you are afraid of making a fool of yourself. Get over it. You are making excuses for not taking the action you need to take.

    Take what John said, open a word doc. and make a brief projected list of where you want to be 3 years from now. It does not have to be an MBA prepared business plan.
    You have some dreams of where you want to be don't you. Put it down on paper.

    If English is not your first language write it out in long hand in your native language then do your best to translate it into English. Your above post indicates you can put your thoughts in understandable English.

    1. Full Time Affiliate Marketeer (or Website flipper, Information Marketeer etc, your choice)
    2. 1st year financial goal: $20,000; 2nd yr: 30 K; 3rd yr: 100K

    John told you where to look for the information in # 2 of his post. All you have to do is take your time and take notes from the places where he mentioned for you to learn from. Summarize your notes and data again in your native language on paper and then put it here in English from your native language notes. You don't have to worry about what others think of your English writing, because it's going to show you are willing to try.

    John, Craig and Steven didn't ask you to be an expert in what ever topic in IM you wanted to tackle. They just wanted you to prove you had an idea where you wanted to go, so they wouldn't be wasting your time and most of all their time. They would be able to structure their coaching time with you in the most advantageous way for you.

    You blew it Dude.

    Well, firstly well done for asking - if you don't ask you don't get!

    But as a mentor/coach I'm afraid I agree with everyone else's comments. It's not about a certain amount of money, its more about your investment.

    First of all, why wouldn't you pay someone initially? Is it because you don't have any money or you don't see the investment in investing in a mentor?

    At the end of the day, a mentor can only guide and recommend what you should do. It's you who has to do all the hard work. And no amount of mentoring can make you actually do it. Even if you paid $500 for my time, it may incentivise you to do it more, as you want to get your monies worth, but you need remember that it's your business and ultimately down to you.

    I have to be honest, anyone who takes up this offer, is probably not a great mentor (apologies if I've offended anyone), but will you care as it's not costing you anything? apart from your time? You need to learn to value your time.

    If you really can't afford a mentor I would recommend you get a buddy and each of you focus each other. Write up a schedule of everything you are going to do each day and make sure you achieve them.

    Let's be honest, by spending literally hours on this forum you could find out exactly what you need to do in terms of marketing. So go and do it! Get focused. Reward yourself each day when you have achieved things.

    Or, pay for a mentor who can push, focus, inspire and get results quicker for you.

    The choice is yours.

    Best of luck.

      Magic Ace,

      First, if you really want to do this IM thing, put yourself out to want to help one of the experienced Im'rs here. Be humble....put them and their interests ahead of yours. You will do wonders for the respect of the experienced marketers here.

      Offer yourself as apprentice to them.....GIVE to them first and actually do it and it will reap rewards tenfold back to you. They will respect you and give you all you need to know from their years of experience.

      I think it is the attitude given in your very first post that put a lot of people off that you appear that you are taken advantage of them and slightly are insulting their intelligence.

      Be real and be humble to the regulars here and everyone will come out of the "woodwork" to help you.

        To the people implying that people refusing the OP's offer were somehow "mean" or coldhearted, I didn't get that impression at all. The OP simply didn't make a good offer. Had he offered something tangible, like performing a needed service in exchange for coaching, he likely would have gotten different responses.

        Even homeless people offer to hold the door for you before they ask you for change.

    This thread has has a lot of posts and frankly to get here I have not read them all. However, I will remove this if I am repeating what has gone before.

    This post is a result of reading about subliminal messages. I fear that you are in the same boat as many who for fear of wasting time and money do not get started.

    My suggestion is; if you have not bought this already, and that is to try out subliminal software installed on your PC that will subconsciously make you to take action to following the successful methods you have been taught. You can select from a range of subliminal messages to meet a particular need to achieve success in that area. If it works for one thing you can use it again to improve on your success.

    If subliminal messages work for you, then come back and post how subliminal messages got you to acheive your goal.
