why can't i make money online?

15 years ago

Can I give you a couple of simple advice? Like:
1. Remove the affiliate link from your sig.
2. Remove the other link, too (extra money from home) - because on that site here is what I've found:

About oriolwillhelpyou
My name is David Oriol I started home based business about 1 years ago now, and just 2 months after using affiliate marketing I was able to achieve my goal of making residual income online. I'm not one to brag with huge figures and I'm not exactly a millionaire anyway but since then, I've been fortunate enough to be able to lead a 'comfortable life' thanks to internet marketing.

You know, consistency in your web presence is important...

  Sorry, I overlooked the part where you said you were down to your last penny. In this case, GET A JOB!
  
  On the side, STUDY marketing. I don't know how much you know about internet marketing but usually those who fail, fail to grasp the basic fundamentals. They all go wrong about it.
  
  My advice is to start here... Take a look at these 2 websites (all are free):

  Learn and apply and I'm sure pretty soon you will be doing better online!

I commented in a thread similar to this one before. This is pretty much what I said... same goes for this thread.

Scale things up and put in more work. Get more sites out there, go into more niches or grow your business and provide real value.

Have you really done everything you possibly could to make this work? How much have you done in the past few years?

We can't tell you what you're doing wrong as we don't know how you go about making money online. There are many factors why things don't work out.

Really, take a serious look at your business model, analyze what you've have done so far and what you can do better. Perhaps that means you should gain more IM knowledge.

Also find a method that works and stick with it. Don't except to write 2 articles and see money coming in the next day. Same goes for everything in IM. It takes time and the right approach.

Additionally I want to add that a business online can't survive without traffic, targeted traffic if you will.

Also, if you're writing articles or any other content for that matter it's crucial to avoid misspellings/learn good grammar. That is ofcourse if you're planning to market to the English market.

Good luck!

Hey,

What I did to make my first money online was just grab a bunch of Wordpress Sales Page themes and sold them as a WSO for $7. Only had one sale though

Although if you simply sell a product say... for $2 in the WSO section your bound to make some money.

Good Luck!

What have you been doing to try to make money? I see that you have a blog and a link to a product, but just coming online and putting up links isn't going to make you money.

Have you been marketing your blog/product?

Do you provide a solution for people that have a problem? Looks like you are trying to sell "make money online" solutions, yet you say you do not make any money yourself so it might be kind of hard to provide a solution if you do not have one.

I would suspect that you're not getting enough traffic and should focus your efforts on getting some. You can try free methods first, then look into paying for that traffic once you begin making money online.

I say all of this because I've been working on getting traffic with little success so far. This problem is preventing me from making money online.

Agreed, always the traffic. But it also depends on what it is that your doing to make money online. If you can tell this forum what exactly you are doing to make money online then they are more than happy to give you further assistance.

What does it matter if the OP is broke or not? They just said they hadn't made any money ONLINE ever. That shouldn't matter if the OP is broke or not. If the OP isn't then they could invest...If they are broke then they can use free methods to start. But to worry about if they are broke or not doesn't matter.

I find it hard to believe that you have not made a single dollar online, I have not made a huge amount but have made some money. once you have made that first sale, ramp up what you did to get that and you should increase your earnings, but you have to measure everything so you can work out exactly who what where why and how.

Yep, Zabrina's right. You need to tell us what you've done or tried to be able to give you any real valuable info.

Have you tried simply copying all the great free ideas that are in these posts and threads? There are also a ton of WSO's that are solid blueprints to get you going...

Try something that is working for others.

So you are already getting a lot of traffic then? Sounds like you need to work on conversions. Are you sending it to a landing page?

  I am currently trying to generate some funds to pay a bill which will be due in January. I plan to buy a solo ad in a popular ezine and promote a product I believe in. I know you said you are broke and don't have money, but if you want to make some quick cash online, a small investment goes a long way. The solo- ad I am buying cost $50. If I can turn that into $1000 that would be super.

The most common misstake is that people cant stick to one thing. If you start out and jump between stuff and try everything you will never make much. Instead pick one thing and stick with it.

There are tons of ways to make money online. But the most important underlying principals that will guarantee success are integrity, hard work and persistence. Pick a real offer (like an amazon product), dont lie about it, and promote it hard - and dont switch to anything else until you are making money promoting it...

Then rinse and repeat - but only after succeeding with the first one.

Writing articles (good and meaningful articles) and submitting them to adsense revenue sharing sites like Hubpages.com and Infobarrel.com will earn you some money.There are a few people on these sites who say they earn over $1,000 per month.Personally, I make about $50 at the moment from revenue sharing sites but I just started.

This income is not instant, it will take some time.But once your articles get indexed in the search engines you will start earning passive income from them.The more articles you write the more you will earn.

Also, before writing you need to do keyword research to see if you can rank in the search engines for your keywords or not.

If you've been writing articles, why dont you offer that as a service? Shoot, even I made a couple hundred when I needed it by writing a busload of articles. Five years and not a cent.

You sound kinda like how I used to be. I bet you've spent a lot of money on a bunch of different products expecting them to give you the magic acorn to grow the money tree that you can pick off of for years to come.

Sadly, its not that easy.

IF you need money bad, I advise getting a job and getting on track. Write articles in your spare time.

PPC is a horrid way to go, and if you've been losing money on it, why did you keep it going?

Clear your head man, if you've put so much money into this that you can't live, what was the point? I know they say you can't make money without spending money, but that doesn't mean leave yourself with nothing.

I'm going to be as practical as possible, and say start up a article writing service, and get a regular job.

Kind of the antithesis of this forum, but sometimes, its what someone needs to do, plain and simple.

His writing isn't good enough for this solution. The OP really needs to think about some things he could do to earn quick money in his local community. It's not very likely he's going to learn what he needs to know about writing good reviews and attracting traffic to make enough income to keep eating.

It isn't easy to make money online. You really need persistance, and pursue with something which is on track. Once you find someone is buying your product, even $0.50 cents, then there is scope to increase it.

Keep going. Follow a good plan!

When you are trying to market to prospects, first make sure your spelling is correct (use a spell checker). Be aware that grammer is important. You must work on being the best salesperson possible and proper spelling and grammer are the main items what will make or break your efforts. Always double check everything and then have someone else proof read it for you. Make your corrections before putting anything on-line.

Then search all the free resourses available on the internet that are produced by reputable and ethical people. (One of the best teachers in my opinion is an Englishman named Chris Farrrell--he has several very well written and informative videos and articles that are free)

Be carefull who you chose to trust and then learn from what they are doing and copy their efforts.

Good Luck in your future efforts,
Norm

You have absolutely no business doing any kind of affiliate marketing if you have so little money and have barely enough even to eat. Even if by some miraculous stroke of luck you made several hundred dollars in affiliate commissions this coming week, you'd still not see it for at least several weeks, especially since you live pretty far away in Turks & Caicos and the commission checks mailed to you might take a while to arrive.

Unless you are willing to offer fairly simple IM services for sale like blog set up, graphics and backlinking, I really can't think of any other ways for you to pick up quick cash online to meet your immediate needs. If you currently have a job there, please do not resign from it!

David just do what feels good to you. You don't have to ask other people what you need to do. Take control of your own life, just do something, if it makes you feel good keep doing it, if it makes you feel bad, you need to find something else to do.

Answer this question has working on the Internet for five years and not making any money made you feel good? If it has keep doing it, if not find something that will make you feel good. My guess is selling newspapers on the corner would make you feel better, than not making money on the Internet. Try that and then find something else that makes you feel even better.

I worked on the Internet for over 12 years, but right now I am having trouble making money on the Internet, so it's just a hobby for me now and that feels good to me. I am not broke so I can do that, but you need something that will make you some money now and that will make you feel good.

Maybe you can make some money on the Internet, but you don't need something that may make you some money you need something that will make you money. Just do something tomorrow that will make you feel good and make some money, anything legal. You don't have to keep doing the same thing, find something else that will make you feel even better.

Being broke is no fun, but you can start a new life tomorrow, let your feelings be your guide, no one knows you better than yourself.

All the best!
Clint
