  • dont know what your earning levels are now. but to make some quick $$ do some micro jobs, some freelancing jobs for few hours of the day. once you gain trust you will get returning jobs form same people.

    just my thoughts..
  • Set up some affiliate blogs promoting clickbank products. Add some substance to your post and interlink them.
  • Great, so you have time, some money, and a target goal of $1,000. Those three are essential for any success online.

    As someone who has yet to make some serious money online, I highly recommend you get started immediately with Affiliate Marketing.

    The reason is simply because you can make a suplementary or even a main income from affiliate marketing without having your own website, your own product, your own list, etc. All by just working on it part-time.

    Affiliate marketing is basically you promoting a merchants website and they give you commission on the sales you generate or the click throughs you send.

    There are a number of methods that you can use to make money from affiliate marketing both on and offline.

    Some methods include using your own website, a merchant's website if you don't have one, mailing lists you have built up, ebooks, reports, blogs, video blogs, forums, PPC advertising, local media advertising, and custom software.

    But when I first started I used simple and free methods like:

    1. Forum marketing - if your niche is "internet marketing" then here at the Warrior Forum is where you should be 24/7, 365 days a year! Just be active, positive, and provide value in all your responses and questions. Oddly enough this will get people clicking your signature link, singing up to your opt-in page, and eventually purchasing your affiliate product.

    2. Article marketing - Just focus on submitting ONE article a day to Ezinearticles.com FIRST, wait for it to be approved, and then submit that same article (with a little rephrasing to avoid having Google think it's duplicate content, which will bring your search engine rankings lower) to goarticles and articlesbase.

    3. Blog commenting - Go on the TOP blogs in your niche and be the FIRST to comment on a blog post, making sure your comment is valuable and contributes to the post.

    Just focus on these three for now and master them. Don't underestimate it's simplicity, because it just works. Be consistent and persistent. And DON'T GIVE UP!

    Within a couple weeks you should have some sales or a decent number of subscribers (if you're building a list).

    And so, I suggest you try out affiliate marketing, because you won't have to create your own product, your own site (if you don't want) and you can reach your $1,000 goal much faster.

    Hope this helps.

    • Sorry, but I have to say it. The red part quoted above is just plain bad advice, not true, never was, and won't be any time soon - which is kinda sad because your post is otherwise very helpful advice. If I were you I'd go ahead and remove that red part before other warriors read it and tear into you. I've seen that happen here and sometimes it's not pretty.

      Plainly, by making this erroneous statement you are effectively leading the OP to believe that the simple and proper use of article syndication will lead to penalties that do not exist in the eyes of ANY search engine. Being as tactful as I can (considering the enormity of frustration behind this myth of duplicate content penalties), you're dead wrong.

      OK, carry on.

  • I've heard turning tricks on corners does wonders for this kind of problem.

    Outside of that though, In a month, 4 hours a day, you should be able to pull 1k quite easilly if you have a tenth of that to spend. Product Creation is incredibly profitable at the moment, and email ad buys are some cheap ways of doing business easily.

    Go out there and crush it.

    • For some of us, that's not an option. Negative cash flow would be my result
  • I'd suggest affiliate marketing.
    Pick a strong vertical (dating,mobile,bizop) and try to master a traffic source (google,fb,pof);
  • Let me try to make this easy for you, in 2 steps:

    1) Build an affiliate website. There's simply a ton of tutorials and books here on the WF that explain how to do it, doesn't matter if it's with Clickbank, Amazon, CPA, or whatever you choose. I would say that you should use a Wordpress blog, cause it has a lot of plugins and things that make your life easier with making websites.

    2) Outsource the SEO/traffic to it. There's a small investment that you'll need to make, but at the end of the day it'll be worth it, you won't have to deal with any of it, and you will make money.

    Just my $0.02.
  • I'd recommend CPA aff programs.

    Quick and easy w/ weekly payouts.

    Just get signed up with a network, ask an affiliate manager which offers are trending and roll with it.
  • How about how to make your first $1K selling web services and the things you've already learned from WaFo?

    • Yeah that's makes sense, I've learned a decent amount over the past 3 years, turning that into a service is an interesting thought. I'll be reading all of that thread you posted on the other forum, thanks.

    give this a shot. this is a guideline i'm starting to implement. i purchased it about 2 weeks ago but haven't really started it yet. it looks pretty legit. i hope it is. it has some good feedback in the thread though
  • Do carefully, plan well, if you failed dont worry search the success from there it self do change your business.
    Best wishes to get more success
  • Your first 1k can more easily be had by offering a service IMO.
  • The do product creation suggestion is starting to get annoying.... I wonder if this is why there is now a ton of crap rehashed products.

    I suggest you do only product creation for something you know a lot about and feel you could teach others well.

    People need to stop being so vague. While product creation is a huge earner, there's no point in doing it unless you are knowleagable in something worth teaching (which can be pretty much anything), but if the person in question has no knowledge of anything you can teach, suggesting to do product creation is dumb.

    Ask them what they know, and then suggest it.
  • leverage. Make your time/resources work for you rather than you working harder. Work smarter not harder.
    If you've been in the industry for such a long time you should be making more.

    You should have a mentor who can overlook everything you're doing and check your work. You should be making more money than $1k monthly after 3 years.

    I've had people make over $2k within the first week of starting IM with no experience. I don't think it matters if you haven't been putting much work into it.
    Maybe it's your lead generating method, try different methods this willl help you to target a different audience too.

    Another point is that sometimes people spend too much time on you tube, facebook etc they dont do work and end up wasting time. I dont know if this apploes to you, if you feel it may be affecting you then stop using them or close the chat box on fb etc
    so you can get on with work and not get distracted.
    Let me know how it goes, all the best
  • A great business module is one that is shown in a thread by LMC. He has over 200 websites that make between $4-$50 every single day. He has it down to an art but the concept can work for anyone. You'll often hear that sites and blogs can be thrown up in a few hours. The numbers game plays a big part and Kenster explains it well in his rags to riches part 2 thread in the CPA,Millionaire makers forum.

    If you could build a blog/site in a day and sold one product making you $30 in a month thats $1 a day, build a blog or site everyday for 3months your close to earning $100 a day just by making $1 profit per site/blog. But the great thing about this is you could make more per blog/site. Breaking it down in to manageble chunks makes it easier to get the bigger figures.

    You shouldn't over look Adsense, ebay affiliate and amazon affiliates as a source of income too.

    • Affiliate marketing is great, once you get the ball rolling. Many marketers struggle to get traffic and then sales after that when they first start Affiliate IM.

      For more realistic Internet Work, you could create your own Advertisement Job. Basically find people who don't have the time to Market on the Internet, and Recommend your new Services to them. Tell them $150 per week, which includes posting ads, answering emails, and organizing new leads and forwarding them to management. If you can get more customers for people and those customers are putting more then $150 per week into their business, then you should have no problem obtaining them as a client.

      Now all you need is several clients who admire your services and are willing to purchase into your business. You will need to learn how to post ads on Craigslist, Backpage, Etc in order perform this type of work properly.

      I did this for about 6 months in the year of 2009 and was paid over $3K from just one client.
  • Freelancing jobs will get you the cash the fastest.

    You should also consider putting out your own small product.
    But the key to earning fast cash is to take action!
  • My advice is start making money through blogging and affiliate marketing!
  • Are those 3 years of study or the 1st year repeated three times ? A bit more seriously, only you know what your skill set and interests are at this point. Were those three years a cursory education or did it include some serious study?

    Although not for everyone, consulting with local businesses to build up their online presence can be quite profitable if you have the ability and personality. Who do you know in the business community that knows and trusts you enough to give you an opportunity to prove yourself? Two clients at $500/month gives your your goal.
