Newbie! But learning fast

madchef1, I salute. You are more than a sign and wonder. So, permit me to give you
another name- amazingchef1.
Just before you get to the topmost top, could you please info me- on whose hand you are leaning? I want to make sure my other newbie friends enjoy what we have seen
manifested in you. Let's all get to the top TOGETHER.

Hi steve,
Newbie here myself. Joining this forum has been the best decision i have ever took on my online venture. Here you will find lots of tips, ideas, suggestion, etc. Its worth more than buying a online guide from those so called gurus. Spend some time on this forum, browse around and you will learn a lot. The members here are very helpful.

Hi Steve,

The most important thing for any newbie is to stay FOCUS.
There are so many ways out there (and in here!) to make money,
but if don't stay focus, then you will go nowhere.

Also, most newbies are always tempted to jump in the "make money"
niche and this is not a good idea. Try to play outside this area first and
you can always come back later, when you're loaded with ammos

Good luck!

Warmly,
Farid


P.S. As for the traffic exchanges - try to avoid it. It's no good.

First off Mad Chef don't be too anxious there is no given timeline for results. You have completed the basics as far as website set up, getting aweber and hosting. What niche are you in? You need to build a squeeze page and load up your aweber with the content that you are giving away to get the visitors email.

Put your squeeze page domain in your signature below. Put it in your signature for your article marketing, video marketing, press releases, etc. Go to tube mogul and blast your video out. Take your stab at Google Adwords once you have a decent (20% or higher) converting sign up percentage.

Create a blog using fantastico using wordpress and make important valueable posts, to help people solve problems relating to your niche. You can send your email list to free valuable info at least 70% of the time and then send them to affiliate offers the other 30.

Eventually paid advertising (pay per click, adsense, facebook advertising) will give you the traffic to your site to see some results. You need to start with a squeeze page that has great offer and target your visitors based on keyword research.

You can use my squeeze page if you like, I have a post on my blog on how to hijak my squeeze page and use it as your own. Don't be afraid to buy a course. Look on IM Report card for grade of products - excellent resource.

Hey Steve! Welcome to the forum, it's a great place you'll learn lots and meet great people. Check out all the free downloads and warrior tools, I do suggest you invest in the war room membership, I don't think there's ever been a single person who's regretted it.

Don't talk yourself down. You have a domain name, that's great. You know how when we're kids, most of us end up going through a stage for a bit where we just don't like our name? But then of course there are other people that just love it. Or maybe you think what we up here in Canada call something, or a person from some other country... Point is, a name is unique, and can be used in many ways, always look for the positive. Don't walk around with a sign on your face that says "I don't like my name" Or else that's what people will read from you, that's what you'll project, and that's what you'll have, a name nobody likes. Nice thing about domain names, you can play with the letters and words and do what you want. Split it up into an acronym, make two words that have some of the same letters and call it an amalgamation...
Sell it to somebody who does like it, or whatever else... Again, the point is, set your sights up, stay positive and don't let the negative energy in, even if it is just doubting the quality of your domain.

Welcome and good luck. We're all here to learn
