Teen Internet Marketer Needs Help!

This may seem a bit harsh but if you're not making money with affiliate marketing you're doing something wrong. With respect I'd recommend researching this forum for how to do it. I'd also recommend joining the War Room where you will get a lot of good and free advice.

Again, if they don't have the money why are they at your site? It also concerns me they accuse you of spam. How exactly are you going about promoting your affiliate offers?

I love to see young people getting involved in building businesses! Kudos to you, my friend.

People your age are in a way in a better position that older folks. The reason is because you don't have a mortgage, electric bill, or kids to support (at least I hope not).

You have the freedom to take things slow, learn as much as possible, and build a solid business that could fund your college tuition and beyond.

I suggest that you spend as much time learning as you can. In the meantime, you can learn some skills and offer your services to make some extra bucks. You can offer these services here or on a site like fiverr.com.

Stay motivated, stick to learning as much as you can, and most importantly... don't forget that you are 14! Don't get addicted to making money! Balance your life with learning IM, doing your homework, and picking up chicks!

Have you built an affiliate site or are you working without one? Avoid spamming by building a high quality site where you promote your offers and then concentrate your efforts on driving traffic to it.

power on mate.

I suggest checking out challenge.co to get started

Take it slow - read up.

Hers a quick guide:

1. Open an account at listwire.com - List Wire - The world's best FREE Autoresponder!

CZ.CC cz.cc - Free Domain Registration + Free DNS Service.)

000a (Link: Free Web Hosting - 000a.biz)

They are all free.

Now, sign up at clickbank or a similar affiliate marketing site. Find a niche that intersts you. Then pick a product - pick carefully as the right products will rake in lots of cash but the wrong ones wont!

Buy the product through your affiliate link - this gets you a discount.

Read it and write a review on it in word.
Then find some testimonials by other people on the product and copy paste them into a separate word document.
Then write a little bit about the author in a third word document.
Save them all - Content done.

Now go to cz.cc and pick a domain - Get one that is a variation. If my product i was promoting was called Awesome Dog Care,Written by Larry Stephens and the domain was awesomedogcare.com - I would pick a domain of:

awesomedogcare.cz.cc
awesomedogcarereview.cz.cc
awesomedogcareebook.cz.cc
awesomedogcarelarrystephens.cz.cc
larrystephensawesomedogcare.cz.cc

Then register the domain with 000a and use the fantstico to install wordpress. Find a wordpresss theme to install or contact me and i will design one and a logo for a small fee. (5$ - 10$)

Upload your articles and make the review sticky.

Now add a new page and link it to a page where people can sign up for a autoresponder sequence. (Do this with listwire.)

Now to drive traffic - Install the XML Sitemaps Plugin, the All In One SEO plugin, and then enable them all. This will get you in the google rankings.

You should have a page like the one in my sig (Cat page)

Then create backlinks by:

- Posting comments on blogs
- Posting in forums
- PPC (if you have the money)
- Article Marketing

If at first you don't succeed, keep trying.
You will prevail.

I know what it feels like to lose - And what it feels like to be young - I'm Only 13.

Thats a neat quick review Jamjar! But I just wanna ask if your site converts effectively? Heard a lot of folks talking about how unprofessional free services/domains can be.

Hi Olix1, You are at the right place and you can learn a lot about Affiliate Marketing on this forum as other respected members suggested different ways to you. So keep discussing your issues here and you will learn a lot.

Affiliate marketing is touchy - you don't want to just spam your friends.. you can, of course, utilize social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn, but unless you have enough interested followers, these won't get you far.
You can try article marketing - basically where you write an article and post it on something like ezine or squidoo, and have it link to your site, which contains your product information.
This is a great way to get people who are actually interested in your product to see it! But be sure your articles are high quality and attention-grabbing (while not amateur-looking).. otherwise people might not read them.

Best of luck in your endeavors - I commend you for putting time and effort into this at such a young age!

I think you are going about your business the wrong way. You need somone to hold you by the hand and teach you the ropes. Unfortunately these days everyone want to make money off of someone. But there are still some good programs out there to do just that.

The first thing you need to do in this business is to build your list. I don't know if you have heard of the addage " The money is in the list". In order to do that you have to provide to your prospects something of value for FREE in order for them to opt-in you list. You should Keep providing constant value to your list member befor trying to sell anything to them.

Most internet marketers, I see on the internet, try to sell something first which is a recepe for failure.

The only way to make money online (for the long haul) is to build a responsive opt-in list to market your products or affiliate products to. The best way to do that is to get a PLR product and give it away to build your list. Then you can market to the list without fear of being a spammer!

To your success!

Being successful with internet marketing needs time and a lot of testing. In my point of view, this forum is the best place to find info how to start and what to do. I did the same.

Selling quality products, whether as an affiliate or your own, is a good way to get money on the Internet. If you're being accused of spamming people, you probably did not bother to build an opt-in list and you are just sending unsolicited spam to people. Not a good idea and a terrible business plan.

You need a plan that is more developed than just make money online. There's millions of you trying to do that. If you're not offering value to customers, get in line with the millions.

You should get involved in the Squidoo world. You’ll learn a lot by creating lenses entirely free of charge, and promoting all kinds of products.

Here is a beginners guide that teaches you how to easily create many lenses and how to get traffic:

Visit the Squidu forum; everyone is very helpful there.

Who are you telling and how are you telling them?

It sounds like you're just throwing stuff on the wall to see what sticks. It looks as though you're doing a lot of random things in a desperate effort to make money, which usually does not work with internet marketing.

How exactly are you doing your affiliate marketing right now, and are you sending emails to clients who have expressed an interest in receiving more communication from you, or are you illegally scraping emails from somewhere? (it sounds like you are).

Nice to see some young people on here seeking success, I am 22 myself.

Something about you being only 14 seems to wrong to advise...

Awesome that you are so business minded at that age.

I recommend you do some research about everything IM. Soak it up like a sponge. You can never have too much knowledge and IM is no exception. By age 21 you could be a millionaire if you really apply yourself and keep your focus. Don't neglect school, I know too many people in High school that dropped out and have to go back now; even to get remedial jobs.

I will mention that youtube is a huge resource for anyone looking to make large amounts of money. I remember a girl that was 14 her name on there was meganheartsmakeup. I think she is 16 now and owns her own makeup line. She became rich in about 9 months on youtube, if I remember correctly. So there are some great success stories.

One other important thing I want to mention is that while online marketing is great you can double, maybe triple your profits by doing offline marketing, such as postcards, word of mouth, ect.

are you into gaming? my site Halo Reach Tips | Halo Reach Cheats | Halo Reach Guide would love some new affilates.

I've got good and bad news...

The bad news is it took me a little over two years before I started making good money online.

The good news is: 1) I'm dumber than most people. 2) You're 14. By the time you're 20 you could be sitting pretty.

My best advice is learn to do it right while you're young. If you're getting spam complaints you're not using a good method whatever it is...
