    Looks like you have an advantageous head start as compared to most newbies.

    I suggest you go for product/software creation business since you already have some IT expertise and education. You can learn product creation from some established warriors here. Good luck

    If you take my advice, I would advice you to go into forex trading. If you can master the subject and the field then you can triple or even quadruple your investment there. But it is a bit risky venture.
    Alternatively you can go into Amazon affiliate marketing or Clickbank affiliate marketing. Product creation is also a good choice for you.
    Since you have masters in computer science, I presume you have good coding skills. You can use it to make good websites or helpful plugins and then sell them.
    There are a lot of potentially good things you can do.
    But just make sure you stick to a particular plan and don't jump from one thing to another.

        I want to be super rich in a month or 6.


        2: I don't want to be cheap.
        Just be careful not to confuse "cheap" with "frugal."


        3: I am Hardworking and believe in it and want a reward.
        It's better to work smart than hard, but that's just my opinion.


        4: I can write very well on most of the subjects (Now including Blogging).
        5: I can create awesome Videos and Tutorials.

        Answer this question first:
        Do you want to sell your own stuff, sell other peoples stuff, or sell a service? Or which of these 3 do you want to start with?

        If you don't want to be super rich, how much do you want exactly and over what kind of time frame?

          Thanks avenuegirl:

          I choose my words very carefully .

          Regarding Point no 1: I don't want to be super rich in 1 Month or 6 Month and don't even want a magical formula as well.

          I meant to say that there are many Programs available in making you super rich in a few days. I Don't want those programs.

          I want a consistent and persistent kind of business whether it's Blogging or selling your own or someone else.


          Regarding your Question:
          Answer this question first:
          Do you want to sell your own stuff: I don't have anything yet so I don't know, May be if I can get an idea. I can make mine and then sell.

          Sell other peoples stuff: I don't know as I am novice and start the thread.

          Sell a service: I don't know, I have many skills but do not know how to utilize it and will it be worth it.

          Or which of these 3 do you want to start with: I can start with anything as far it is good.

          If you don't want to be super rich, how much do you want exactly and over what kind of time frame: I am not a day dreamer and do not expect that a miracle will happen and I will be super rich in a few days. I want to be super rich but in a proper way and uptil now I just want to earn a simple living with in a year and after that I can grow and grow and grow and then lust has no limits ..

          By the way I quit a job where I was earning 1000$ Per Month which is very huge in my country and was doing computer engineering work.
          So I am expecting to earn at least half for the first year.

            Well, I think the nice thing is you have ample funds to start your new business, so it really is a matter of you choosing which model you want to go with. I would figure this out first before spending a dime. Once you know the model you want to follow, it will be very clear where your money needs to be spent.

            Rules:

            Find a starving niche and feed them what they want.

            Make sure the niche is a buying niche.

            Plan in advance by taking advantage of things like list building so you can keep feeding those people over and over again.

            Track your results and constantly strive to improve systems.

            Set some goals for your business and write them down.

            Decide which tasks can be done by you and which can be outsourced or automated so you can dedicate your time where it is needed most.

            Don't be afraid of saturation or competition. You need only to find your own voice/spin on what is out there to grab your share of the pie.


            Perhaps your first goal for the week ahead will be to find that niche that you'd like to monetize on - and then decide the best way to do it.

            Okay, here's what I get from you so far...

            > You know to avoid the get-rich-quick schemes, and you want to build a sustainable business you can grow. Point in your favor.

            > You have some seed money. You're willing to use it if you believe you can get fair value in return. Point in your favor.

            > You seem to have decent content creation skills, and lay claim to others. With no evidence to the contrary, point in your favor.

            > You seem to know very little about the various business models available to you, or the basics of market research. Point against you.

            So far, the scale tips in your favor. Here's what I would suggest:

            > Take copious notes as you explore these suggestions.

            > The first thing is to understand better the various business models available to you. Plenty of free information on that subject here, so keep your wallet in your pocket.

            You want to investigate:

            - digital product sales
            - physical product sales
            - sale of services
            - content marketing monetized by advertising (actual ads, lead generation offers aka CPA or CPL)

            > Next, you want to explore the various ways to make money. Again, plenty of free information here.

            Look at:

            - Selling products you own
            - Selling products as an affiliate (basically a sales rep)
            - Selling services you provide
            - Brokering services others provide
            - Selling attention (you mentioned blogging - providing content on a blog to draw attention to advertisers is one form of selling attention)

            > Look through various marketplaces (WSO section and the others like it, Clickbank marketplace, Amazon.com, eBay, etc.) for the kind of things that sell well, and that you may have an interest in.

            > Now, go away for a week or so and digest your notes. Start playing with various combinations of things and think about what you could do with that combination to create the kind of business you want.

            Some of the combinations may be tempting, but on reflection won't provide what you need for your long term goal.

            If something specific confuses you, or you need pointers to specific resources, feel comfortable coming back to the forum and asking.

            All of this will likely take you a few weeks, but at the end of those weeks you'll have a far deeper understanding of what's available to you and what resonates with you. When you have that, you can seriously start planning that business that will one day make you rich - and proud.

    I would say read the Warrior forum every single day for at least 2-4 weeks before purchasing or pursuing anything. this isn't just "bla, bla".

    There's a lot of noise out there, but you must start to distinguish what's gibberish and what's real. This is the best free way to do it.

    There's a downside to this - you may feel the urge to jump at every new thing that emerges, but you should fight that and control your impulse. When something fit for you will come along the way, you'll know.

    Don't spend any money other than for
    hosting and domain name. If you are
    really good you should be able to get
    results with just the essentials.

    Start a site around a topic you love,
    create a couple of pages of awesome
    content and then get yourself an
    account with a email list service
    provider.

    Try to capture all traffic you get to your
    newsletter.

    Once you start getting results you could
    try to buy a couple of links from popular blogs or
    forums just for traffic purposes. The goal is once
    again to increase the number of newsletter
    subscribers. It's all about building assets.

    From here.. the sky is the limit.

      Well, this is advised only if what you love can convert into $ - unless you are just looking to mess around and create a hobby site.

      On the flip side, a lot of things can be monetized on, but don't think just because you love something that everyone else does or is willing to spend money on it.

    By computer engineering work do you mean software?

    If so then you might consider creating a software product of some sort. Not a lot of people can do coding so you would have an advantage. Unfortunately, I have no idea what product, but if you look through the WSO forum here you could see what kinds of software/plugins are selling and that might give you some ideas.

    Then, study this and other forums to see what kinds of problems people are having and figure out if you can make some software that will help solve those problems.

    Here is what I would suggest you to do:
    1. Don't buy any program that promises you will get rich over night.NONE
    2. Read The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferris, Linchpin and Tribes by Seth Godin (or any other book by him).[search them on amazon]
    3. Read this forum and blogs by well known authors.
    4. As you already have money to invest, a good idea is to find an established website in a niche you like and is already making profit. Right now I'm in the process of buying a website that is making 400$/month. It is a niche I like and I already have many ideas to improve it a lot so in a few months it will make double or more.
    5. If you read the books I said before you will already know a lot at this stage so you will know how to think and create your own websites/products based on the things you like, your hobbies, etc.

    As you already said you don't want to get rich fast but I can say you don't want to get rich at all, at least not in the way most people understand this word. I guess you want to become a NR (New Rich, term by Timothy Ferris) so your richness will not be counted in money but in Time plus Money to do what you like in that time.

    Great People and Great Advices and I am loving it and I will stick to it for sure. Honestly I am overwhelmed with your awesome responses. I mean no one pay you as you are just volunteers and your helping in real. Bravo and thanks alot.

    So what I understand from these awesome replies:

    1: Decide what am I best it and what are my limitations...
    a: Sell my self (Services or Products)
    b: Sell for some one else (Service or Products)
    2: Decide a Niche...
    3: Get a Domain (10$/Year)...
    4: Get a Hosting (120$/Year)...

      3: Get a Domain (10$/Year)...
      4: Get a Hosting (120$/Year)..
      Don't forget that Frugal word. You can get hosting (and the domain) for a little less. Enough less to go out with those savings and have a nice Steak dinner with a glass of wine.

    First of all, you don't need anywhere close to $5000 to get started. With just a few hundred dollars you can set up a very successful online business with time.

    Secondly: Don't worry about the business model first. Successful businesses start out by finding a problem / need / demand that a large group of people have. They discover the problem and then (after) they create the solution. Your solution will be your product or service and can include an info product, a membership site, an affiliate offer, a banner to click and so on.

    Choose a market you're passionate about. If you're passionate about it your passion will push through through the tough times.

    So you like hockey? Start asking hockey players about their frustrations. You know about investing? Start investigating the frustrations of investors. You'll see a pattern in a market (investors) where a lot express the same problem.

    Make sure you find the problem first, validate that it is real (don't assume... test) and then decided on what business model best solves their problem and suite the life you want to live.

    Third, no matter what you do watch this short speech by Eric Reis on the Lean Startup:
    Customer discovery for online business
    It shows how businesses evolve from their first idea to what the business eventually becomes (a success).

    Hope this helps!

      Sean, I almost agree with you.

      I posted that Dr. A should learn what the various business models were because he didn't appear to know what the choices were. It would be quite easy to overlook a prime opportunity due to not knowing the possible ways to profitably offer a solution.

      If you already have a grounding in various ways to approach a market, then we're back in sync. As your source says, too many businesses flop by trying to sell solutions no one wants.

      I agree that you fit the business model to the problem/solution/market and not the other way around.

        Again, I am thankful for the positive feedback and encouragement and hope you will continue your input.

        I know there will be more responses from other warriors as well,
        But if I wrap up the current discussion, Actually I am compiling my Notes:

        The first thing, I mean if in one day I can have this much information and help,
        If I continue for a couple of weeks then things may be totally different.So I need to Watch, analyze and monitor WF for a couple of weeks.

        1: Everything seems to be in my Favor
        I am young, Energetic, Qualified, Hardworking and Smart, Patient, Quick Learner and I Mean Business and want to grow.
        2: Not to Invest
        I don't need to invest the money at this very stage other than a couple of Books from renowned authors and Of course Domain and Hosting.
        3: Get a Niche
        The Niche may already be saturated or Hungry But I have to feed the niche with something unique.
        Consistently analyze and Monitor, Automate and outsource the work that cannot be done by me.

        4: Get a Domain
        5: Get a Hosting
        6: Get a Nice Website
        7: SEO
        8: Content is King

        Business Models

        The one I have some or little Idea:
        Product/Software/Websites and Plugins Creation:
        Some of the work I can do by myself but mostly I have to Outsource it.
        I can think over it.

        Blogging:
        Blogging will again be based on a Niche and if I can provide good content and people start visiting then I can place google Ads.
        This is a good idea of getting some money, Also If some one wants to put an Ad as well, I can get money. There may be other methods as well.

        Gather emails for newsletter:
        I think once my site is up and running good, I can gather emails and then design a newletter by a designer and send it to the subscribers.
        But will it make any money, I don't know.

        Buying Websites:
        Buy a website that is already making some money and the one that you can with a little tweaking and outsourcing make much better.
        Now this needs to be check out whether there are specific sites where you can check what site is for sale and how would you know the revenue and
        how can you tweak it for further monetization.

        Forex Trading: Simply No

        Amazon Affiliate Marketing
        Clickbank Affiliate Marketing
        eBay

        I think for these three you need to have a website, I need to learn more about how to use these three.

        Digital product sales
        Physical product sales
        Sale of services
        Content marketing monetized by advertising (actual ads, lead generation offers aka CPA or CPL)
        Selling products you own
        Selling products as an affiliate (basically a sales rep)
        Selling services you provide
        Brokering services others provide
        Selling attention


        I have no idea what so ever as how to master these terms.

        and not to forget A good term Frugal

          You don't need to design a newsletter,
          simply send text emails.

          As for money, a list is just a way for you
          to be able to contact your visitors
          over and over again without having to
          rely on them remembering your site to
          come back.

          For low traffic sites(most small businesses)
          it's the difference between starvation and
          success.

          Here is a hint if you are thinking about product creation.

          One way is to obviously research what people are looking for - to get solved.

          But another way to gather this intel is to start blogging about your topic, and build a list. At a later time you can find out from the list what kind of product would make their life easier.

          Then you build it (your product), and send it off to the list to buy.

          Of course, you need to have the general niche selected in order to start any of that.

          Amazon Affiliate Marketing
          Clickbank Affiliate Marketing
          eBay
          Don't get stuck with just those either. LOL, here is something else to consider. A lot of affiliate programs are privately run. So, one good way to see if there are affiliate programs for your niche is to simply google "niche affiliate program" (replace the word "niche" with your niche")

            Thanks for your ideas, So you mean I should run my blog for a while, bring traffic and look for the problems and then target my product.
            This is indeed one great advise...
            I think I should focus on it..

            I still don't get this affiliate marketing. This is when other people put a banner or bagde or ad on your blog. It is what this is all about..

              Lets say I find a fantastic kitchen widget. I decide everyone needs to have this kitchen widget and I could sell this product because I use it, and I can tell others about all the problems it solves.

              I need to know first if the kitchen widget company has an affiliate program. It turns out they do! Great.

              So, I sign up to be an affiliate marketer for them. They are going to give me a special link to help sell their product.

              My link will look something like http://www.kitchenwidget.com/avenuegirl

              So, I'm going to start a blog, and talk about how great kitchen widget is and how it has made my life so easy. At the end of my article that I put on my blog, I'm going to say: And if you'd like to get a great kitchen widget like I did, just click here.

              That "click here" will be a link - my personal link to the kitchen widget main site. If you purchase after clicking through that link, I will get a credit in my account and a check or payment for a commission.

              PS: there are no affiliate links that I know of in the above post, and I am not a kitchenwidget affiliate if such program actually exists. :p

          You either feed the niche with something unique or better, create a new niche (sub-niche). For example dog training courses, it is a big market so it will be hard to enter it even if you have a new method, it won't be easy to rank for those keywords so you better create/find a smaller sub-market like Aierdale Terrier Training. Somebody who has a Aierdale Terrier will chose your product over the Dog Training one because this one is closer to what he is looking. Or an even smaller sub-market like '1 Month Old Aierdale Terrier Training 10 Minutes a Day'. This example is for digital products or books but it can be applied for blogs or other websites too. Instead of a blog about Cars, Ford Cars or even Ford Mustang you better create one about 1967 Ford Mustang, this way will be easier to rank, you have less competition.

          Another great book to read(if you like to) is How To Make Millions With your Ideas by Dan S. Kennedy. Many readers say is not a good book as the business he is talking about are old but I found(and many others) it really mind-opening, it will make you see more opportunities in one idea.

        If you already have a grounding in various ways to approach a market, then we're back in sync. As your source says, too many businesses flop by trying to sell solutions no one wants.

        I agree that you fit the business model to the problem/solution/market and not the other way around.

          Although there are thousands of questions popping up in my mind. But one I think very Important.

          If I select a Niche e.g: Health or whatever.
          Will the name of my domain should have the word Health or I can name anything but the content should be related to Health.

            Having a keyword in your domain does give you a little extra push in the SERP's but it is not the only factor and you can rank without it. Think about brand name companies.

            The real key if you are going to go with something like "health" is going to be to refine the niche much tighter as the general word health would take for ever to rank for. Something like "health for toddlers" or "health for babyboomers"

            You can go broad, but it is easier to get a foothold in with a very specific niche where you can have a better chance of dominating the keywords - if ranking is your priority.

            I personally don't put too much weight on ranking as there are tons of ways to get traffic to a site other than showing up on the front page results. It is a different kind of work to work this way.

              Goosh, you guys are God !!!.

              I better read some books before posting in here .

              Although I am a very kool customer. But while searching yesterday and today, I had this idea to create a website like ehow or ezinearticles.

              i was checking and there are very few people who can really qualify to submit articles on those sites, So I can ask people to send me there articles for a couple of dollars and I think I can get that..

              1: How much money would I need to start with.
              2: They don't have Ads or something, So what is there income source and are they profitable....

    @avenuegirl: Thanks for the Lead..
    So what I grasp from the article is that the Directory Service like ezine etc will give you Lead (I guess Lead means they will direct user to your site, Please correct me).

    So itself the directory service is not generating revenue rather authors submit there articles to popularize themselves through that directory.

    The Question is do the author pay the directory service to display there article or the Directory service pay the author for articles.
    I am confused as I can see there are no Ads on ezinearticles.

      ha ha. Have a closer look at Ezine. TONS of ADSENSE there.

      There are directories that are free to join and submit to, and ones that are paid.

      If you are running a paid membership type directory, you better make sure my articles are SEEN or I won't want to pay to be on your directory.

          Yeah, it looks like you've got some ad-blocking software installed on your PC. EzineArticles is absolutely plastered with AdSense and Chitika ads, so you can't really miss them at all if they're on the screen - which in your case they're not. :p

        And sometimes ranking for very broad keywords can be deceptively easy - often unintentional.

        Since we're using 'health' as an example, let's look at it...

        Are you talking about losing health, gaining health, maintaining health, something else?

        For that matter, are you even talking about human health? Or perhaps the health of a stock portfolio, health policy in any one or more of a hundred governments?

        That just scratches the surface.

        Even if you could pull a top ranking for 'health', you'd end up with nothing but bandwidth bills and a mile-long list of unfocused traffic.

        Assuming that anyone in their right mind would go to a search engine and type 'health' in the search bar...

        Far better to niche things down until you can define a group of people and reach them profitably...

            Dr A,

            If I were you I would spend $37 for a War Room Membership and read as many posts as possible. You will find some great ideas, pick just one and focus completely on that.

            The biggest problem most newbies have is spreading themselves too thin, trying to do too many things at the same time.

            This is a surefire way to end up doing lots of stuff half way and never succeeding at anything.

            This is the best advise I can give you. I wish I could go back about twelve years and take it myself...

    Thanks jimn10 for your kind advice,

    I know everything has a price and nothing is for free. I will join war room membership but this is too early for me.
    I am a new bee and I want to learn the basics tricks of the trade and then move slowly and steady and Step By Step.
    If you look at this thread, I have already been given very valuable information and I am noting it down by myself and am compiling a list and will upload on this thread as well, so that other new bees can benefit from it.

    Yes I agree with you that new bees are scattered and shattered I would say, As they get no information for free and are burnt again and again and when they came to know the tricks, They then burn other new bees and believe me I don't want to be burn and neither has any intention to burn some one else.

    I am patient and working on slowly and are asking as many questions as possible and I am very very lucky to get all the answers to my questions for free.

      you are responding with well thought answers and a summary of what people are saying to you. OK, good on you.

      I'm going to give you some more "food for thought". The first is a work called, Before You Buy Anything and here is a direct link to the pdf file:

      http://www.angelfire.com/biz/gjbiz/byba2010a.pdf

      Read it if you want, it has been useful to scores of Warriors.

      The second thing I'm going to give you is this:

      http://www.angelfire.com/biz/gjbiz/7StepsIP.pdf A short report on Information Products Creation many have found useful too.

      Then, some ideas for you...any one could be a "niche" for a project.

      http://www.angelfire.com/biz/gjbiz/Ideas.pdf

      OK, that will get you started without spending any money and keeping an open mind as to which of the 1001 ways to go, is the RIGHT WAY for you to do this.

      There is NO one size fits all, take your time and pick and choose the concepts which most fit your personality, your work style, your learning strategies, don't be in a rush to jump in.

      IF you spend a couple of weeks reading and learning, and investigating the 1001 IM opportunities, you'll save yourself time, money and frustration down the road.

      And keep this in mind, which is where I ALWAYS begin with a new project:

      the TRANSACTION.

      What does it look like? How does it happen? How does the money from the TRANSACTION get into your pocket? If you can "draw" it out, fully understand the process, then you have a good starting point.

      Start with the END result in mind, which is why taking your time and figuring out what you want is the best advice I have for any and all new bees, and it is advice which has withstood the test of time.

      It just sounded that way. Anyway, you're right, people should use a combination of these. (video is very useful now)

      It won't be fun or interesting after a few weeks or even days, when Google will push you down.

    You seem to have some technical skills which are highly valued on this forum. Can you do any of the following?

    Make blog or website templates?
    Make Youtube style videos?
    Create scripts?

    If you want to become an affiliate marketer can you?

    Choose a niche product that you'd like to promote?
    Write or outsource the writing of product reviews and articles?

    If you want to niche blogger can you?

    Pick a topic that you really enjoy talking about?
    Write consistent blog posts that attract the interest of others?
    Find products in that niche to promote on your blog?

    These are some of the specific questions you'll need to answer if you want to successfully make money online. It's better to choose one thing to start with so you can put all of your efforts into getting good at that method.

    @gjabiz: Thanks alot for the valuable pdf and I download them all and will start reading as I am not shy of reading.
    Your suggestions are awesome.

    @Fun To Write: Thanks alot for your valuable suggestion again.

    I don't know how I landed to Warrior Forum. I am neither a Marketeer and neither will pursue a career in it as I don't know the very basics...

    I think I already told everyone and I think at the start of this thread that I am a Double Masters in both Computer Sciences and Management and have a very good exposure and experience.. I can create awesome presentations and youtube videos..
    I can create excellent introductory video as well.
    Also
    I love writing and I can write on almost any topic. you name it and I will write over it and comprehensively...

    There are two things:
    1: I don't want to start a short career. Like do some sellling, Earn a few bugs and then create a PDF or Video and shout that hey people I will make you rich in one week.

    I want a persistent career, A very good Internet Business that last and that do have existence..

    The problem is that WF is a jungle and all the info are scattered and also when you ask, Everyone has there own stories and experiences and that you cannot extract in just a couple of days.

    So I am trying to collect as much data as possible and then will fish for a couple of days and try to compile all the data and then come back and present to the warriors.
    Get more data and feedback and then continue and I am hopefull after a month or may be before that I get a good business plan or strategy or even a good business partner...

    Another thing you can research - the Offline business community.
    With your knowledge, education and skills, you may be able to come up with a viable service to offer offline business owners by helping them with their websites, online business presentations, etc.

    Continue to think outside of the box.

    Good luck!

There is nothing out there that is going to make you tons of money overnight! You might start by asking yourself what do you really want to do?
    I DO recommend joining the forum, its worth the measly yearly fee just for the freebies you get not to mention all the great stuff here!

    It is wonderful that this thread is giving you so much inspiration, and as ever, we see just how helpful people can be here at WF.

    So I don't want to be the first negative contributor but I have to point out something very honestly and sincerely. I really hope you will not be offended.

    You say that you love writing, but your standard of written English is actually quite poor. It is filled with grammatical errors, and a great many misused words and awkward expressions. Some sentences I have to read two or three times over to understand what you are attempting to say. This of course is all right in a conversational context, such as in a forum like this, but if you were writing a paid information product that is supposed to teach something very specific, this would in most cases be unacceptable. Readers might feel frustrated and confused.

    I am not implying that you are in any way unintelligent, as obviously the opposite is true. I have to say that you are certainly very charming and likeable.

    But from a strictly business viewpoint, this language issue could well mean that many people would not be happy to pay for your products or even want to read your emails if you have written them yourself. Your use of English could make it very difficult indeed for you to compete with other, more adept writers. Of course you could certainly try it, but I think it would be a huge and unnecessary handicap to your earnings.

    There is absolutely no shame in this. As marketers we have to recognize what we are good at, and draw on our strengths, and in those areas where we are perhaps less skilled, we can hire others to handle those specific tasks. In other words: outsourcing.

    So in your case, I feel certain that the best and most profitable procedure for your would be to write an outline of your ideas that you want to put across, and hire a ghost-writer to actually render it in good English. You would greatly increase your chances of making money, which should compensate for the cost of the ghost-writer.

    I know that you have expressed a lack of familiarity with some terms, so if you don't know what I mean, a ghost-writer is someone with good writing skills who is paid to write your content for you, and you can put your name on this content. You tell them exactly what you want them to write about, they do it in an effective style, and you pay them. If you find one that you like, it is often a good idea to use the same writer again and again, as he or she will become better at understanding exactly what you want, and will become your "voice" in a consistent manner.

    The other advantage of having a ghost-writer, especially for someone of your intelligence, is that by observing the way they express your ideas, you can gradually learn a great deal about how to write better English yourself, to the point where you may eventually no longer need to hire that person.

    I hope you will find these comments as helpful they were intended to be.

    Best of luck
    Ken

      I agree with Ken, like few posts earlier when what you wrote meant something totally different from what you wanted to say, (the 'collect' thing) plus other misused words. Anyway, as he said that is ok here, but it won't be ok on a blog or on a product.

      Well, he is not making any money from that particular blog, but from other websites. That blog is just a platform to teach others what he knows.

    Yeah either create your own product or promote clickbank. If you are not good with websites etc. then just hire someone. As you already have money you should opt for paid advertising options like adwords.

      oops -- CAUTION: With all due respect, having money is the worst possible reason to use Adwords, if you don't know what you are doing. The more you have, the more you can lose and this is an especially dire trap for newbies with deep pockets. People have poured fortunes down the drain thinking that they can simply buy traffic using pay-per-click, when they haven't yet worked out how to ensure that the ROI will be positive rather than negative. That is a skill unto itself which eludes even some experienced marketers.

    Hi,

    I would suggest you to build your experience first in Affiliate Marketing. It's low cost, but you can learn much from there.

    Affiliate marketing is simply selling other's product to get a commission (in case you haven't known this yet .. )

    To learn / start an affiliate marketing business, you should find a step-by-step system that fits you. There's a lot of offers on the internet, so it's better to ask some advice on this forum for which kind of system you want to run.

    Save your $5,000 first. Spend it wisely on buying a system, hosting, etc.

    Best Regards,

    -Lemy

    Learn SEO and do your own websites and still get clients On/Offline. It's easy and less stressful. I just recently found that out and just started learning with some free software tools. Write, do your own blogging and article writing...those are all you need. Yesterday for the first time, I got 206 hits on one of my websites. That's progress IMHO, and I am going to stick with it and get away from all the hypes.

    Just my 2cents.

      Doc, ghost writers may or may not be what you need. It depends a lot on the subject matter, and the level of depth with that subject matter. Hiring a writer without enough knowledge of your subject will generally get you either a superficial treatment or one of dubious originality. There are exceptions, and good ghosts will know their limitations.

      A good working alternative is to hire a good editor. Their job isn't to write for you. Their job is to take what you have written and make it sound just like you - only better.

      You haven't mentioned your country of origin, and we really don't have to know. So feel free to tell me to mind my own business. From your phrasing, though, I would guess your origins somewhere in Asia, perhaps the Indian subcontinent. Am I close?

      If you look at the whole thread, There are great suggestions and advices but it will be me who will convert this thread to reality and be successful.

      I know but it's always good to ask some one who have done something before you and you should not repeat the same mistakes that they have committed. One should always ask, listen and then judge whats the best he/she is at and what the best could be done.

        Hi Dr A.

        It's great to see all the fantastic help everyones giving you. You seem a real nice guy and with all the suggestions you've had and will no doubt continue to get I wish you all the best.

        Out of interest, are you considering creating websites and using internet marketing in Pakistan or going into the more traditional English speaking area. I'm just asking because I was wondering whether you could take the skills you can learn here and apply them where you are. Correct me if I'm wrong but I wouldn't have thought there was as large a IM community in Pakistan as there is in English speaking countries. Which could give you a wide open platform to make some cash. I know Lahore and many of the cities in Pakistan are very up to speed on technology etc and a great deal have access to the internet. Is this what you were planning on?

        I'm just curious as a friend of mine does this and is finding it quite easy to make money and he's in a part of Europe where the level of internet marketing knowledge is generally less than in the English speaking countries. He resigned from his job over a year ago now. I'd be interested to know what your more general plans are.

        As for your level of English, I respect you for having the courage to come on here and speak in a language thats not of your own.

          honestly, I am over whelmed with the responses that I received. I know I am weak at english but at least I can type something

          I came to this forum a few days back and at least I found two things that I should improve:
          1: I need to concentrate and improve my english.
          2: I need to concentrate and improve my communication.

          I am not in IM and before I find this forum, I even didn't knew about IM.

          But if this is IM, then I am sorry I won't call it IM rather I would call IM'ers (Scammers and Spammers) (Sorry, I am very harsh at it. I know there are awesome people arround and doing great and example is some of the great people in this thread. I do respect and have high regards for such people.)
          This guy has no money to host his site and he is making other's millionaires in just days and months and with in a year.

          http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...y-what-do.html

          Pakistan is a poor country and the people are already suffering and I don't want to suck the last blood from there veins BUT yes I want to help them and grow them and if I can do something that will benefit them besides I can get something as well. I would love to do that.

          I have more money then I mention in here, The money that I showed here was a throw away money that if even I lost it, I would have no regret other than loosing this money on doing nothing.

          I didn't have any idea to start an business and specially internet business.

          Yes of my idea was to build a Blog Empire and hire people.

          You mention Lahore but there are other cities where you can find the best people in every niche and they are brilliant in what they do.

          So still I am searching for the best Online business that last for long and including the one that I already had of building a Blog Empire and Hire People.

            I agree with you. There are way too many here that promise you hundreds or even thousands of dollars per week. But if they know how to make millions, why are they selling "the secret" for 37$ or even less ???
            I'm not saying they are all the same but the majority are.

            Anyway, I see we can learn a lot from this forum and those 'IM'ers' won't make me leave the forum.


            As I told you before, if you have money to invest check flippa.com from time to time and maybe you'll find a great website that you will like. Right now I'm buying two websites that are making around 400$ per month.

            Depending on the website's idea, name, age, content, revenue you will pay from 7x to 20x monthly revenue.

    Research the niche and have a look what other people are selling.
    Join forums in that niche and see what people want, what they are looking for.
    Have a look around the internet for information on what people are looking for. There's loads of free information on the internet that you can use to create a simple product like an ebook or a series of articles that you can use to build a list of prospects.
    Make sure the product you create is full of good content. Look at it from a customer's point of view - would you find it helpful if someone was selling it to you?
    If you choose to sell the product, rather than giving it away for free as part of a list-building operation, you're going to have to do some reading into how to produce killer sales copy that converts well.
    Obviously, you will need a website and hosting as well!
    Have a look around this forum, you'll find a ton of information that will help you achieve your goals.
    Good luck.
