Ok How Do I Make Money?

Just to clear some things up I'm not a newbie, I've been making sites since 2001, I treated it as a hobby since I never made money at it. I've been on webmaster forums since 2001. The only thing I made good money online was outsourcing PHP projects I made allot doing that. All the work dried up when most of the work was outsourced and people lowered there prices.

Ahmen I say , Ahmen . I too have been there. Spent a fortune on training. Maybe I just dont get it, but things dont always click. Biggest thing though is don't keep pouring money down the black hole.

But then on the other hand, how would the successful internet marketers make money if you didnt buy their products :confused:

Dave,

1) With $37,000 you aint broke. It's good that you're being mindful about how you want to spend your money, but you've got puh-lenty to start with.

2) Don't compare yourself to other people's successes. Luck, as you know, has very little to do with the business. It has to do with careful planning, picking a strategy and sticking to it. Another person's success has ZERO influence on your own. You are the master of your own business.

3) Think about what worked in the past. You mentioned making money providing some sort of PHP service that made you quite a bit of money. So you've got experience. Why not do that again while you learn other methods for passive income?

I mean, s**t, you can sell PHP. That's good!

You obviously have the ability to make money online. The only thing that you're getting frustrated about is the internet marketing part. That's the one skill you're finding hard to master, and it's pissing you off. Don't beat yourself up over it. We ALL experience failure. It's part of growing.

I don't really see you in dire straits, especially not with $37K at the ready. I just see frustration. You just need to re-assess and refocus your efforts. That's all.

You don't need to take a "make it or die" approach to making money online. This is the internet. It's designed to be flexible. Nothing says you can't earn active income while trying to build your way up to a passive income.

Think outside of the box as well. Can you create a webstore where people can download PHP scripts or something useful like that?

Consider what you'd like to do.

You might decide you prefer article marketing over email marketing or social media marketing over blogging. With $37K you've got more time and capital at your disposal than those who have far, far less and had to come up with something quick to make ends meet.

You might consider getting coaching. I did that, and it helped a lot. Sometimes it helps to have a person mentor you and put everything in perspective, and there's nothing wrong with that. Do whatever it is that helps you meet your goal that's legal, of course.

So shake off the past. Start fresh. And look at this year as a new beginning. Before you jump straight into another program, think about what you want to achieve and how you're going to master it.

In other words, YOU take control of your money making efforts and not the other way around.
