Desperate Internet marketer

In 3 years a fesw articles like that wont make you money. choose a money making method and keep on working hard on it until you see profit. My best advice is to start building a list with your own product.

First of all, I am surprised that you have been here 3 years and have thought that 6 articles would do something for you. Second, I am surprised that you haven't really read through the forum within the last 3 years.

That being said, my questions are do you have a market you want to target? Is there a problem within that market that needs to be solved? If so, do you have a product or can you create a product to solve that problem? These are things you need to consider.

Just doing a few articles wont make anyone money.
You really have to start from first step which is analyzing the right market for yourself.
Keyword and competition research in the market you decide you have a passion for.
And from there you will have a much better idea of where to go and what methods work.

I would recommend Ed Dale's challenge to learn some new methods and go through the proper steps. It's free and very detailed.

Good luck and feel free to contact me for help

6 articles, another guy who wants to become rich quick over night.

Why didnt you do an article a day you would have over 1000 articles by now! And also be earnign a fair amount of money.

True ye, nothing happens overnight. Try to write 3 articles every day minimum. Write them in MS Word. Don't submit them once you are done. Submit everything at the end of your week. Sunday lets say. Then submit all these articles you saved to document sharing sites. This will allow you to use same article again and get ranked very high. If you search in Google, im sure you will find 20-30 document sharing sites. So 1 article you write in MS Word, is actually 20-30 articles.

I recommend that you create yourself a plan. What you need to do every week. Don't focus on money, focus on progress. That you need to do it, just to see traffic. If you see progress, it will motivate you. Money will come later. Focus on money at the start and you will leave it soon, as you don't see results as fast as you expected. Always focus on progress.

Hope this helps

I don't think it is simply a matter of wanting to become rich overnight. Yes there are many promises online stating that it is possible but for most people starting out, or even those some years down the line, it is more a matter of understanding what is required. My suggestion would be to sign up for something like the 30 Day Challenge. It is free and leaves you in no doubt about how much work is required to make money online

All of the techniques you tried resulted in 0 income but in your blog, the one linked to in your sig. you say:

"one month ago I started to implement his strategy and money started to come, not exactly as he tells in the videos, because I don't have enough time to apply every thing but sure if you followed his procedures I am sure that you will get the results"

How can you make zero income and then tell people on your blog that once you started using a particular system the money started coming in?

Sounds like this is not your line of work. 6 articles and a lens in a few years. That is the same effort I put into it in a week on a slow week! It may take a few dozen well written articles to get anyone that shows any signs of promise. It could take more or less. The ol' 20-80 rule seems to apply loosely to articles as well as sites the more you market online.

I am a little confused though. When I clicked on your signature link you implied in your content that you were making money.

At the rate of your content creation your chances of hitting it big online are much lower than if you go out and buy a power ball lotto ticket.

If you want success it takes action. Action itself does not guarantee success but those who continually take it seem to put themselves in situations of opportunity and appear to either be lucky or successful more often.

Point is you need to decide if you have the time or the motivation to take action.

I only saw four articles on your blog and they were all sales pitches. That is not going to do it. Where is the value? Why would I want to go back? You need to generate lots of unique content each and every week from here on. Come back in a year and ask this question.

I think when it comes to article marketing, its really a numbers game.
I think you need to work hard to get your 1st sale, and that would motivate you to get your 2nd, 3rd ...
that's how I got started anyways ... work hard for that 1st sale, and the rest is just a number's game

once you make enough, you could outsource your article writings as well

I may have been a bit of tough love happening in my post but after reading through this thread and looking at your sig link you really have picked a touch niche to promote, I know I have been in that for 10 years still am but have gravitated to much easier pickings. The make money niche when geared to other marketers is a tough sell and conversions often pale as compared to selling make money online products to people looking to open a traditional work at home business.

Find an easier niche that is not pitched to online marketers and you will likely find it easier to convert providing you are actually working at it.

I use to keep a log book by my computer. The night before I would often list what I wanted to get accomplished the next day and it was 7 days a week. Yes I went lightly on the weekends but if I did not get it done during the week guess what it got finished on the weekend. Not good when the weather was nice, so I rarely let things pile up on the weekend even if it meant getting up at 3am in the morning. If you are motivated you will do what it takes to get closer to your goals.

You just need to find a system that guarantees you will produce and it has goals that make sense and do not get distracted or deviate much from those goals.

The 30 day challenge is a good start for learning how to get started.

Join a coaching site, they will help you learn methods that work rather than blindly trying to eanr online. It can be hard at first if you dont know where to focus your efforts.

I can't believe no one has pointed this out yet.

You seem to want to do article marketing (or I believe that by the fact you wrote 6 articles). Now don't take this the wrong way, but if you are planning on making a go of things with article marketing, you need to get better at writing. The writing in your posts carry quite a few problems, and some of them are down right painful to even try and understand what you are saying. So my first word of advice is either to get better at writing or get someone to do your writing for you.

Not trying to be negative, but everyone always offers article marketing as a way to make money online, not taking into account that some people just can't write well enough to be article marketers.

Just my 2 cents.

Hey man,

it takes a lot to generate some decent
traffic, and you have to move on and move
on all the time. A lack of traffic might have
many causes, and it´s hard to identify without
knowing exactly what you did.

You´ve to syndicate your content continues and
focus on improving SEO.

Send me a private message about your exact process,
and I´ll do my best to help you out and provide you some
great tips.

All the best,

Gerald

Hey,

just tried to send you a message, but you
must have at least 50 posts/threats to be
capable to do that...

Send me your e-mail, or facebook ID so that
we can get in touch over there!

Keep going,

Gerald

Sorry to hear about you not being able to make money online. Maybe you are taking the wrong approach, you should look into other areas like starting your own online business or try MLM or affiliate marketing. With so many new ways to earn money online these days, the possibilities are virtually endless. You just need to pick a program, research it to make sure it is not a scam and stick with it long enough to reap real rewards. Best of luck.

Hey buddy, I bet that I can help you get started just by looking at what you said...

I know that watching other people have success might seem like it's productive, but it's not.

Step 1 - stop looking through the forums for "opportunity". It gives you a good feeling to see how much money someone else made, but at the end of the day it doesn't make you any money.


EZA is a proven traffic source that will make you money. I've done it effectively so I know that it works.

Here is your specific problem. 6 articles is not a enough to tell if your product will sell. Here is what you should do... And first off, are you doing affiliate marketing? I'll just assume so...

Step 2 - Sit down and make a list of your offers. Only one offer? Are you sure that it is a good offer? I'd recommend a list of 5-10 offers.

Step 3 - Write between 3-4 articles for each offer. You're going to want to test:
-Bio boxes
-Article titles
-Voice/character in your articles

Yup... a lot of articles, but you need to get a lot of content out there if you want to see what works.

Step 4 - Go back and look at your stats after your articles have been published for about a week or two.
-did you make sales?
-did you get a lot of clicks into certain articles?
-did you get a lot of clicks from a certain article to your offer?
Take this information and use the top performing articles data to help you write more effective articles.

Step 5 - Repeat the process and use the top performing data to write better and better performing articles.

Go do exactly what I just told you above and you'll make at least $10.

If you're really desperate, you can go to Warriors for hire section and offer writing service. $5 per 350 word article. Just write 10 of them daily and you'll make $1500 per month.

Or if you write a salescopy that takes a little more skill, you can charge at least $350-$500 per copy. You can write a few of them to make $2000 a month.

Something to think about..

You write that you are a desperate internet marketer, but are you really? 6 articles in 3 years does not sound desperate to me. 6 articles in 3 hours would be more like it.

Internet marketing is not your shortcut to success. Quite the opposite - internet marketing requires extra effort and motivation from your part, since you have to invest your time (money) and energy until you start making reputable income.

If you are not willing to take this sacrifice, you might as well start looking for a 9-5 job, which nothing to be ashamed of, since IM is not for everybody.

Why not read the blog in your sig, since it tells you how to make money from home the easy way?

traffic is the bloodstream of any type of website free or paid domain.... So better to think now how to boost traffic to your site (EZA account) then start from there....

Hey Desperate! I had a long drawn out post for you, but I think instead I am simply going to say "Yeah, what Andrew Cavanagh said." What you are going through is something that hits home with almost every marketer who has been through it and come out the other side. You must commit, focus, act, learn and improve. Allow yourself a minimum of 6 months to really start seeing results. Set a goal as to what actions you are going to take each and every day and stick to it or exceed it. Don't trail off to other things. That's the kiss of death. There's always the next thing. Pick one thing i.e. affiliate marketing, own product, subscription site, whatever. Pick one model and stick to it. Pick 2 marketing methods and get really good at them. Consistency is the key. I could go on and on.

I do have a question running through my mind, though. I'm assuming you have been marketing some sort of "Make Money" affiliate program? You are an engineer. If it was me I'd be taking advantage of that knowledge. You probably have an encyclopedia full of helpful, valuable information. Probably much more than you even realize.

Stick in there.
Wishing you success,
Thomas Banks

make sure you are picking a high-demand niche to begin with. in other words, your going to catch more fish in an ocean than a pond. this was the tipping point for myself.

Your word; "desperate", not mine, OK?

Point is, in the real world, desperate people have a look, a smell about them and most Entrepreneurs/investors or joint venture partners wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole.

What attracks people is CONFIDENCE, self assurance, good looks, purpose, certainty...

What repels people? DESPERATE people.

OK. Not much help, eh?

Look, as an engineer you have hidden skills, knowledge and experience you can call upon.

ONE of the best ways to get RESULTS is to tap into what you already know, what you do and what (if any) of that info are people looking for online.

Even making your first 10 or 100 or even your first 1000 really doesn't do you much good unless it is part of a bigger business plan, if you know where you want to go, where you "could" be in one/two/three years and follow a REALISTIC plan of action to get there.

But man, whatever you do...get out of the "desperate" mode...it stinks.

PS. Probably have to explain to a few that I'm being metaphorical, not literal. Or am I?
