NEED HELP! JOB ends in 9 months, Need to go f/ $0 to $4500 /mo

Don't do affiliate marketing. Create your own downloadable info product and put it on CB with the nicest sales page in the niche. Then focus on attracting affiliates. Advertise in the CB marketplace, on jvnotifypro, and here in the Joint Ventures forum. Use Optimize Press to build your site as quickly as possible.

Hi Mark,

Nice to see a person like you. You have a goal to achieve within 9 more months. I like it. As a warrior member, you must get War room membership to collect more valuable information and quality products. That's a good investment for you.
If you need a coaching program, I prefer UIM
Because they launch monthly programs to have six figure income within a year.

Good luck

mh77mail, that is some serious pursuit...

becoming a War Room member is definitely a good first step as it has tons of reliable info in it. from what i've been reading, the quickest way is to do JV but it require you to master something first. as for affiliate marketing...selling big ticket item is also worth pursuing. the quickest venture of all is probably forex trading but it is not recommended due to your condition (experience-wise and the critical need to build income while not risking it).

Russ is 100% correct. If you do affiliate marketing, you'll only make pennies. If you make your own product, and build your list, you should be able to reach your goals.

I'm pretty much going to do what Russ says. I plan on having a GREAT 2011.

Have a great and prosperous day.

its good to see that you have a solid plan of action to follow.
My recommendation would be to buy consumer wealth system.
its a good system. used to sell for $77, now selling for $37...
I highly recommend that you buy the AMA upsell.. worth every penny you spend.
Consumer Wealth System

To the OP, you're off to the right start already. Insteading of waiting till you have 2 weeks to go and need the replacement income, you are starting with 9 months to build a business.

The first thing I would do personally is look at yourself. Take a good honest look. What are your skills, what are your areas of knowledge? (We all have an unbelievable amount of knowledge at our disposal just from living life.)

Once you've assessed what skills you are bringing with you, you can begin deciding which direction to go.

The reason you should approach it this way, is because all the information you've recieved so far presumes you have the knowledge and expertise to craft a product. For some people product creation is damn hard, for others it is a walk in the park. Some are better at promoting affiliate products (ignore those saying you can't make good money doing this, how the heck are product owners making any money if their affililiates aren't?)

Once you've figured out your skills, come post back here, and then you can get some real usable information on where to go from here.

Best wishes,
Sylvia

If you have a budget and know how to build sites I would suggest going for PPC. It can make you a mint if done correctly but you do need a budget.

With no knowledge that might be a tricky one OP. Thought of looking for an alternative job?

Just because he's new to IM, it doesn't mean he doesn't "know anything." More people are buying info products online than the ones looking to make money online.

He could create a video course on how to weatherize your home, how to buy a car . . . anything. Everyone is an expert on something.

Little to no experience is normal. I believe that the majority of the members here all started there. I know that is where I am now. I wish you the best of luck.

Oh yeah. I am going the niche blog way with Amazon products and Adsense.

I dont believe in cb , unless you want to lie and scam people out of money or you have really good knowledge on a specific industry that is highly wanted or needed . Most of the crap on cb is junk and trash and most people like anything else make zilch. If you have wanted skills or knowledge then writing a ebook or product could be valuable. A seo book or something there is a million of , umm ok , those really are a dime a dozen and unless you have a huge list then its not really worth it.

affiliates marketing you can make a lot of money . I know plenty of people who make thousands a week selling products. But this also takes a longgggggggggg time and dedication to really have enough content or products.

you can also sell products online through ur own ecommerce store or ebay


anything is possible but very difficult to go from knowing nothing to making 50k plus a year on a skill. You usually have learn a skill set for years , just like any other job or profession. I know some guys who are experts in fields who can make a ton of money on cb in a few months with a new product or anything else. But , they have years of experience and high capital to do it .

I dont know want to be a downer but the reality is im there is no shortcuts just a lot of hard work and experience. Most will fail , but anyone can become successful with a lot of hard work, luck, capital and time. Few will be over night successes

Hey,

I should suggest you roll your sleeves up and get ready to learn and apply at a quick rate there are tons of resources, help, gurus and products out there but ultimately you need to take yourself to reach those goals.

Find a hungry market..passionate, big in numbers, already buying stuff, etc.. Do your research use Google, ClickBank, Amazon, Bbay and magazine subscription sites to qualify the niche.

Once you have decided what market your going to go into study your competitors. Do not try and be a new revolutionary thing stick to what works model there success and do not re invent the wheel especially when your starting out. Make money online then you can go into other things for now focus on reaching that goal. Once you researched your competitors maybe even bough the top 2-3 products in the niche, studied there product, sales page, sales funnel, etc. Decided what type of product you are going to create ( eBook, Audio, Video, Coaching). Develop the product yourself or outsource it depending on your budget ( Make a good product).

Get web hosting and get a domain there are tons out there i like bluehost but thats just me. Write your sales page or maybe outsource it depending on your budget. If you have a shoe string budget no worries everyone has been there just look into a copy writing course or look online there are a ton of free resources. If you freeze up when you write just record yourself talking about the product. Then get it transcribed that way you wont stare at a blank page.

BUILD A LIST! make an opt in page use aweber or icontact..again personal preference..write copy for the list building..opt-in copy and the follow up emails.

You can find outsourcers at scriptlance.com for web page design, graphics, opt in boxes, audio and video editing and you can find writers and designers at guru.com

Put your product up on Clickbank it's affordable and clickbank is pretty easy to deal with. Once your page is ready and you have tested everything is working and ready to go.

Drive traffic..everyone knows this game is a hustle of traffic and conversion. there are multiple ways to get free traffic and paid traffic. Good ways to get free traffic is to do article marketing, networking in forums and social media. There are tons of places to submit articles and post in forums. Paid traffic is great when done right and when your not desperate and you can afford to test a little. Once you get the offer converting on cold traffic and you can prove the stats with screenshots reach out to affiliates and network in forums to build affiliates.

Have a good sales funnel set in place with upsells and downsells to maximize your profits..

hope this helped a little and gave you some direction there is no way i can write about everything in a quick post but i just remember starting and wish someone told me how it is. Work hard and the pay off is great and it will give you more freedom, fun and a life of pleasure.

Good luck

Luis

Paul, Luis, Russ, etc... thanks for all the advice ... pretty soon, I am going to pick a direction/project and work on it for a while and stay focused... that may mean even staying away from this great forum for a few weeks while I develop some momentum the ability to stay on track.

You don't have to know everything to do IM.
Leverage is the key.
Focus on Speed and providing Values.
Find the 'hot button', build trust, don't think of the rewards.
When you have found something that works, keep doing it until it stop giving u the result u want
Do what the successful Inter

Result --> The Rewards will coming knocking on your door :0

Mark, tons of great suggestions in this thread. Plenty to get you going. Luis has a solid approach above.

So I won't help you wade into another pond, but here's the thought that you and everyone else on this blog already know.

Choose ONE METHOD and get your tail in gear and hustle.

A couple of month's ago Jimmy D Brown (shameless name dropping) and I spent the day brainstorming a new product. While we worked we started listing various ways to make money online.

We figured there were around 33.

And would you like to know which one works the BEST every single time?

RIGHT!!!!!

The one you focus on with blinders. Nothing else exists.

Listen, Jimmy is about as out of touch as anyone I've seen in I.M. He had no clue about 2010's mega-launch of $1997 guru products. He was asking me about several of the "big names" and how they are doing.

Now let me get even more shameless...

Several of our mutual big name friends call and ask me about Jimmy. "How's he doing?" "Does he still exist?"

JDB focuses on his model to the exclusion of EVERYTHING else.

$4500 in 9 months?

Easy.

Which method.

It's doesn't matter. They all work.

If you're having trouble finding the route that fits you best and you've got 45 minutes check out Jeremy's Letter. It's free. No opt-in.

Peace,
Paul

Well, it seems that marketing Amazon products using niche sites (quality ones) and Product creation are probably the two options that seem doable.

Being an Amazon affiliate sounds pretty easy... I think I write pretty good reviews. I'm just concerned about sustainability and changes in the market hurting Amazon affiliates, not to mention Nexus laws... Anybody want to chime in on that perspective? Should I just diversify up front and not put all my eggs in the Amazon basket... does anyone had specific advice for trying to work with multiple vendors like Amazon, EPN, CJ, etc?

Product creation sounds more profitable, but more challenging... but probably more exciting too... If I can find some little sub niches to create products in. Anyone here really good or know someone really good at helping take little bits of knowledge if your not an expert and making great products?

I think I'm getting close to taking action... just some final decisions / goals to set.

Thanks,
Mark

I saw try Auto Affiliate Income, its about using Docs/slides

Let me tell you this one thing: everything you need to know about Internet marketing are already available free on the web. Just conduct a research. Even the secrets of Internet gurus and millionaires are repeatedly posted in this forum. You can do it!

ADD? ADHD?

Dude, settle down and drive some traffic or outsource it to someone...

Come back here a year from now with the same report!
