I'm losing hope...

I can totally understand where you can come from. There are so many opportunities and to be honest there is no one way to make money online. That's why I like it so much... because there is all these different roads to the same goal.

Here's my advice.

1) Don't give up. You can do it. I know people who have been floundering for years and then, it all clicked and it all came together for them and making money was so easy.

2) Stop buying stuff.

3) Do what they do not what they sell. This is one of my favorite.

4) Find a mentor who you know is successful and stick to that plan.

You can do it.

I hope that helps,

Here's my advice. Try to write your own "How to Make Money Online Ebook" and then sell it on the Warrior Forum and Clickbank. That is how most of the Warrior's start to make money in the beginning.

Just because it's not working for you doesn't make it a scam.

I think I see your MAIN problem and I believe all the others can see too. Without any doubt, your LAZINESS is putting things down. I see you have just joined the forum. Stay around a little while more before quitting. If your info really describes yourself as a smart and lazy person, then utilize your smartness. Don't be a lazy person. Check out my post of taking action.

90% of people fail in internet marketing because the give up before the even do anything.

The easiest way to see if its real or not is to sign up with a couple networks, find an offer that you know some of your friends would be interested in trying, get a simple wordpress webpage up, put the banner and some content on the site and have your friend complete the offer. If they complete the offer correctly, you should get a lead / commission.

In my opinion, that would be the least painful way to go. I would say start out with an offer that requires a credit card submission. Sometimes email / zip code submissions are scrubbed but credit card offers usually go through.

Everyone is trying to make money. Just do your research before you invest alot of time and energy into something.

Hope this helps.

The best advice I can give you is to keep learning SKILLS not METHODS. By that I mean the basics - learn how to set up a simple website or blog, how to build traffic- keyword, product, and niche research, gradually building sites in different niches, thinking about writing your own short reports and ebooks.

The most important thing for any method to succeed is patience. No thread will teach you that...not even a mentor can imbibe that in you.

Put in your efforts. Keep working, you will get results..sooner or later

Good Luck

Don't give up hope. Don't buy any more systems, take some time and read this site. There is a whole lot of really good free information here. Enough so that you could start and operate an successful online business. Choose one method, stick with it and make it work. Don't get distracted, get really focused. Write out a step by step plan for yourself and follow it. Remember there is also a lot of free help around here. Just remember, when you become successful to reach back and give others a hand up.

I wrote this awhile back after reading a post much like yours. Programming your mind to succeed is the first and most important step at any challenging task. Give it a read, I think it will help a lot:

My advice would be to delete or unsubscribe all unnecessary emails coming into your inbox. Looking at too many emails about different programs can be a time waster. Warriors call this Information Overload.

1. Concentrate on one program at a time

3. Do you have a Squeeze Page?.A squeeze page will help you draw in customers.
The key to earning money in IM is to build a list. Long time loyal customers are important for repeat business in any niche.

4. Do you have a mentor? There are many in this Forum who have programs, Sytems to lead you by the hand. You can virtually watch over there shoulders with there lesson videos of how they do it. Lesson videos work wonders for any newbie.

Stay at it and good luck!

Maybe you wanna check out my thread. "MY first Clickbank sale" and that came after 1 month with 1 week of working. Now I made 3 sales totalling in $133, don't lose hope man

I'd suggest figuring out what direction you want to go with first.

Help promote other people's products (affiliate marketing) ... create your own product (help solve a simple problem lots of people have ... write it down, format it into a downloadable report, sell it) ... write/provide services for other people ... sell advertising space on your own site .... ???... etc.

Then start searching through the forums here and finding similar methods/suggestions that keep popping up to help you carrying out the direction you want to go.

Take notes of the things you keep seeing pop up (writing articles, landing pages, finding "hungry" groups of people, etc). When you see a pattern of people using those things successfully... you'll know they work.

Then start trying those things out yourself and get going.

I know that's fairly basic advice ... but it'll help you weed out the flashy junk pretty quick and see the basics that truly work for lots of people. Focus on those things to shorten your learning curve.

Why dont you try looking on youtube and search for an onlite website where you can produce money, if it is legit and it you can see also on youtube if there is true proof. I know one, and it is odesk. I assure to you that this site is legit BUT people / some people are scammers. Happy bussiness

Dude its not a scam. I am living proof and before I got it I was in your boat. I thought this stuff was crazy.

Here is what I do.

Mimic successful people.

Make great products.

Sends lots of traffic.

Get lots of sales.

This is simple, yet is is very complex at the same time. Best bet is to get someone that is alot more successful than you are. Once I did that and learnt from them, my profits exploded.

Hi I just started my own hosting business, and it is hard. I have previously making money with internet marketing about $500 a month. But this new business is always hard to do. I feel the same too like you.

You just need to keep working, try every method and track the result. The key is KEEP TRYING, no matter what.

You will not go anywhere with the type of mindset that you have. Stick to one strategy at a time and do it till you're really good at it.

Maybe start by learning how to website flipping and be an excellent website flipper by the end of 2011. Does that sound like a plan?

Man it took me 7 years to make regular money, its not a scam.

Write as many articles in a niche as you can.

Place adsense or affiliate ads

do a bit of pinging and submit to EZA.

Do this for 2 months and if you haven't made any money then give up, otherwise keep going.

I don't know if you've tried this, but offering content writing services works, and it works great. That is, of course, until you reach a certain income level and then branch out into bigger things online, over time. All The Best

Don't give up, hang in there!

I'll give you some advice...stop buying.

Read forums such as this one and read what people post and how they generate cash online.

Read and learn from people's experiences rather than the productts they are selling.

Why should you loos hope while the hole universe is filled with opportunities for you? Internet marketing might require your careful search and analysis but all that is said is not a scam even though some programs happen to be pure scams. Here at the Warrior Forum you will see and receive directions for what you should do in order to succeed at your internet marketing efforts. But as for now my advice is for you not to give up hope.

Make a plan and STICK to it... and the easiest way to do that is to find a niche that you are passionate about. That way it doesn't seem like a chore and you'll enjoy doing the work rather than resenting it.

In My opinion Stick to what you know,Even a small thing will give you better success

Why would you think internet marketing is scam?

Im making $7,000 a month! You can do just buy my ebook! You can be a clickbank millionaire!

Honestly, make your own product. I really don't think your gonna get rich selling ebooks or maybe i'm wrong, but I would never buy one. I took me 6 months to create my website. I learned everything html, css, and photoshop. It seems like everyone is selling gimmics on ugly squeeze pages.

One of the biggest mistakes that a lot of online marketeers make is that they buy all the fancy books and formulas, read them from cover to cover and then never put what they teach into action.

sometimes that happen to me too. :S

To be honest, I tend to think to myself if IM is a scam as well.
But deep down inside, I know its not! There are many others including
myself who are struggling. Do not quit so soon. I believe that we only
fail when we quit. Follow the advice of the many senior warriors have
given you and I am sure you will be successful.

To your success,
Kevin

The key here is just focus on one proven model. My suggestion...

On the main forum, click the "ratings" link at the top of the forum posts. You'll then have all of the 5-star posts. Most of these posts contain content where the author (and contributors) give you their IM methodlogy or playbook to emulate. Just pick the one that looks like a good match for you and then just put the blinders on and take action.

Internet Marketing is not a scam. After all, the things you have bought on the internet...somebody gets that money right? If someone has sold you something on the internet, it means that internet marketing works! The question is - do "get rich quick schemes work"?

you're suffering from OWTMI syndrome....Overloaded With Too Much Information

Stop buying and reading too much, start applying what you've learned....and if you happen to fail, try it again, and again.

Key#1......the so called "get rich quick"...that's a scam

This is common. Part of the problem is there aren't any rigidly held standards in the IM industry.


I'm of the opinion that there needs to be some kind of "IM MBA for Newbies" course.

The fact of the matter is, if you created a mind map, on the subject, really there are only 3 basic "buckets":

-Traffic
-A Product (yours or someone else's)
-Conversions

The issue for most people is that they come into the industry and they get deceived into thinking the only thing they really need is MORE TRAFFIC.

Secondly, no one really spells out of for people how to go about determining WHICH TRAFFIC TECHNIQUE IS RIGHT FOR YOU.

The biggest "secret" in the industry is that most successful companies and product owners use Affiliates as their no. 1 traffic source.

Think about it.....

The next time you get an email about a traffic source, who did it come from? Chances are from AN AFFILIATE.

So think about those (3) things listed above. Then make a list of everything you know so far about those (3) things. THEN, start asking experienced people "what questions should I be asking about those (3) things..."

Hope that helps.....

Do a search in google for "chris farrell membership review" I am not a mamber but I have heard good things about him.

If you let yourself lose hope, you'll quit trying to find a solution to the problems you're currently facing. Please do not allow this to happen. Stop trying to connect so many dots at once. The process takes time. I know from personal experience how difficult the process is, but it is definitely worth the effort. I am able to tell you this only because I did not give up. Don't deny yourself the chance to get to this point as well. Best wishes to you.
