I feel discouraged, lost and sad.

You are the majority, the ones you see making money, are the minority.

I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM!!!

feel your pain!!

for me-- I had to decide to get training --1 on1 -- with someone that was referred to me by a person in the IM world that I trust--her name is Sara Young- and the training is what pushed her to new heights-- tristan bull

A MAJOR factor he teaches is: DO NOT START ANOTHER PROGRAM OR SPEND ANOTHER DOLLAR ON ANY NEW SHINY THING TILL YOU MASTER THIS ONE SYSTEM!

good luck friend!

What niche are you targeting?
Though these are some steps it would help if you relayed what you were trying to make money with. Are you trying to sell ice to the desert? (figure of speech)

Are you trying to promote other people's products? Or have you made your own?

Without knowing this it is hard to give some direction but I will say this. Don't feel discouraged my friend it took me well over a year and a half to start making money I did make a sale when I first started I created a product followed the steps like you say here and made 1 sales Not the millions I dreamt of

Persistence following the right kind of plan of action will pay off but I encourage you to share a little more so people can better offer you the right advice.
cheers

trust me, don't feel so bad, that is infact the majority. Some have gone years without doing it. Possibly doing some services for someone could re-ignite your motivation.

I think today is far easy to make online income. Why not try fiverr or zeerk?

Go back to one of the courses that you believe in and spend the next 6 months like an obsessed madman working the steps. I imagine that you are going to be doing SEO right? The people are right about you being the majority. I didn't earn anything in 2010, and I was trying but kept product hopping.

You must stick to something for long term. Time for me to get off of here and back to work. Warrior forum is good for getting targeted leads. Where is your website that you focused on?

I would advise you to stop buying products which costs 27 -37 -47 $ and promises you "push button millions" "get rich quick schemes" - you should understand this kind of miracle does not exist.
Pay at least 50 -100 $ for a product - this delivers much more.
i could advise you mobilabs.n.e.t (don`t want to give credits to the website i don`t own) they deliver more. Also i would advise you to look for newer business models.

Before we can give you any solid advice, you need to tell us exactly what you are doing and what you are focusing on. We can't tell if you're doing something wrong without more specific information.

Poor guy.


When you're done with your therapy session, why don't you do what all successful people do?

1. Know what you want
2. Take action
3. See if it's working
4. Adjust your course

Seems to me you're missing out on 3 and 4. If what you're doing isn't working, do something else!

lol, at the start you say you've plugged away at it for 2-3 months. Then later on you say you've worked really hard on the blog for 2 weeks? which one is it, make your mind up

and why is your grammar getting progressively worse? Getting to the point of gibberish.

should just take more time to write what you are trying to say so others can understand, no point in rushing.

And btw you're promoting that society? That would be harder to do as a newbie wouldn't you think? what do they teach you inside of this society?

Bottom line people not making money shouldn't be promoting make money products. People don't believe you. Go in a niche like golf, or wedding speech, or yeast infection, or beat software. If someone is telling me a make money product works, I wanna see video proof with you showing me checks.

Ivan,

Also understand that many of the things you see advertised DO NOT work. There are many people who spout off about some new system, sell some copies and then disappear only to return again under a different name. Also understand that MOST people do not make money online, if they did, we would not have so many people with signature links to "make millions online" but asking how to make money here in this forum.

If I were you, I wold start a blog about the things you have tried and tell people what worked and what did not work. It is a great outlet and eventually can make you money on the side.

It sounds like your goal is to make money - in my opinion, this is the wrongw ay to go about it. Reset your goals - you should be trying to learn how to make money.

It doesn't matter how long it takes you to do this - because once it's done, money is the easy part.

If you try to make money, you will fail.

Only the government is allowed to make money (Ha Ha. LOL)

No, seriously, money is the wrong approach. Try to help somebody. The more people you can really help, the money you will make.

Money is just the thing given in exchange for a valuable product or service.

So, look at what you can do and then see how you can help others with what you can do.

In the real world: If you can paint houses, you help somebody else with painting their house and then you get paid in exchange. Or you can repair cars and help somebody with their broken car and then you get paid in exchange.

On the internet it is the same thing. Find something that you can do and then see how you can offer that either as a service (writing, programming, coaching) or as a product (ebook, video, software etc.).

That is basically all there is to it.



.

Ok, First off. Just signed up today, like to say Hi to everybody, and it is good to be here.
I don't know if this legitt or not or if it's just a way to get us to your site, but anyway. Most of us have been there at one time or another. The biggest weapon is the "can do" attitude.
There are so many new things out there, some good, some bad. The truth is they all play on our emotions.
I read somewhere recently that the #1 reason people fail in home based business is because "They QUIT". So keep moving ahead and you will eventually succeed.
Good day to you all
David Schuller

Remember most people involved in Internet marketing are not making any money all...That's right the stats say 93% make ZIP...... Do not believe a lot of what people tell you about earnings, there are a lot of liars out there!!

If you see anywhere a product that offers amazing amounts of money ignore it it will all be lies......Think about it for a moment............... if you really could make $50,000 dollars say in your first month, in about a year there would be no one left in the first world not making $50,000 a month!!!!!!!!
I have been at this game for three years this month i admit I do not have as much time to dedicate to it as I should (about 10hrs a week) but i still only make a few hundred a month...its a long learning process but the best advice i can give is to pick one single approach be it CPA-PPC-Video marketing-or site creation and back link building...and stick with it until you succeed. do not deviate or buy one single unrelated info product until you are making steady regular money.....sorry it's boring but it is the ONLY way...It's hard work and dedicated graft mate but there ain't no way around it.....

Don't worry too much about buying products Ivan. You can learn all the necessary skills by just going to reputable blogs related to IM, SEO, etc. One thing I would suggest paying for is a War Room membership here on the forum. The section is filled with tons of products that would usually cost money elsewhere.

I'm concerned by the possibility that you've fallen victim to so-called gurus that are selling trash, and misleading you. It's hard to tell you what you're doing wrong though, because we haven't actually seen what work you've done.

Maybe you should just take a long hard look at the products you bought and spend a full day analysing WHY you bought them.

What made you buy? What were you looking for? Was it a 'magic bullet' or perhaps something really subtle like someone who empathised with your situation?

Do some soul searching, be honest with yourself and take a look at what made you click that buy button.

I'm not saying you should emulate the product, niche or style...

But you'll come out a different marketer, and you'll start to see IM with slightly different eyes


Cheers

Tony Shepherd

Well, for one, we've been doing it a lot longer than three months.

Many of us spent the first two or three years sitting where you're sitting. I'm still not making consistent money. Some months are good; some months aren't.

Most people will open up their mouths and shout from the rooftops whenever things were good, like January when I grossed $9,600.

They get a lot quieter when you ask how much of that they got to keep; I got to put about $4k of that in my pocket while the rest went out the door in expenses, affiliate commissions, JV splits, etc. A lot of people won't say that out loud.

And it just looks so much better to say it was "almost $10k" than to lay out the details of what actually came in, how much of it stayed in, and how much had to go out before anything came in at all.

That's a reality many of the "consistent" earners have, too. As Frank Kern likes to say, "I didn't get to keep all of it, but I got to keep some of it."

Similarly, most people will get very quiet at times like I had last November, when my gross income for the month was all of $50. Nobody likes to say "I had a crap month and made next to no money," so they don't say it.

Averages lie, too. My average for the last six months is about $2,500 a month. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that this is $15,000 in six months, and when you add the $1,500 I made in February (mentioned in another thread) to the $9,600 in January, it's not hard to figure out that I made $4k in the last four months of 2010.

And if you're still connecting dots, you can figure that after I made $50 in November and around $2k in December (again, mentioned in another thread), that leaves just about $1,800 split between September and October.

So just running from what I've said publicly, you can list out the last six months of my income as being about $900, $900, $50, $2,000, $9,600, and $1,500.

And I'm often regarded as a successful internet marketer. But in offline business, those receipts are a solid indicator of a business that is not doing very well at all.

So be aware of that. It might look like people in the forum are doing well, but these are fair-weather reports; they're painting the best picture they can with the facts they've got, and will handily neglect or ignore any inconvenient bits like how much they had to spend in PPC to make that money, or how much has to go out in affiliate commissions on the first, or how many months they spent making squat to get there.

This isn't because they're dishonest, but because they're proud. Everyone wants to be a success. Everyone wants to have the cheering and clapping and singing and dancing that come with a good month. But nobody wants to face the criticism that comes with a bad one.

I'm no exception. I know exactly what people are going to tell me every time I say I didn't make much money in a given month, because it's the same thing they always tell me. But the thing is... they're right.

Why don't you pick one method and stick to it for at least
21 days? I mean, put all your energy, time and effort into
it and forget the rest.

It is not that the methods don't work, it is that you don't
work on it hard enough neither try different approaches.

If you continue trying different things as you have been
doing so far, you will continue achieving the same results.

Thanks,
^PV Reymond

Trying very hard not to comment on using txt message spelling and the instant loss of trust it creates with the potential buyer.

Hi:

Shireen here :-)

I was in your position before. Things started to change when I meet an mentor that willing to give me 1-1 personal support.

I paid him a few thousands dollars one time fee. But I made back many times more :-)

Look for a mentor, worth it

All you did was upload youtube videos and post ads in classifieds.com? No wonder you're not getting any sales.

YouTube traffic is filled with people looking for freebies. Use that traffic to build your subscriber list.

Classifieds.com doesn't get much traffic. And the traffic it does get is low converting.

Start out with the tried and true methods of internet marketing - Article marketing and niche websites.

In Article marketing, write and submit 500 word articles to EzineArticles, GoArticles and other article websites. Put links to either your website or someone else's website so that you'll get a commission. Write and submit at least 5 to 10 articles per day and your income should increase.

In niche website marketing, choose a low competition keyword and build a website from it. Put some Adsense, Amazon ads and affiliate links on it in addition to valuable content to the reader. Then build backlinks to the site in a steady pace over the course of a few months. Keep building these types of websites until your income increases.

There you have it. Now go and make money!

You know what I will do for you, email me at mrmoneybanks513 at Yahoo dot com and I will send you a free copy of my book. If you like it then you can put it to use and promote my book in your blogs, if you don't like it then no harm because you didn't spend any money on it.

Mr Money Banks

More time Ivan. That is what is going to take. And try to learn more before you spend more. Offer some services here and other places if you want to make money that way. You can learn from offering services, too, as you see what other warriors do behind the scenes (just do not ever steal anything).

There are so many advice and reply to your questions.

You are the only one who know what is right for me.

Read through these post, again decide who you want to talk to. Just PM them.

Are you surround with people who believe in IM?

It is time to build that team up

Also I learn that in IM is not one man show, you need a team of likeminded people working together

You feel like weeping b/c of 3 months of failure? I was at it several years before I could make consistent money from IM. The key to becoming successful online is sheer persistence and determination to succeed. Dry your tears and get your ass back to work is what I say.

I really suggest getting coaching from someone who you know could help you make money. I suggest domain flipping because all it requires is some common sense and a very small start up. If you are buying domains anyway to make niche sites, why not flip names instead?

You can buy a domain name that a business might want to own such as a local name:

SeattlePizza.com ...

then you would try to promote it to all the Seattle Pizza shops and ask them at least 100 for it. That is a great ROI from an 8 dollar investment...

The key is to find these names and then you can sell them and make profits.

Are you selling the products that would be of interest to others?

Ivan-

The best advice I can give you is to CHASE NEEDS not MONEY.

In my opinion, many people start an IM business because they buy into all the money that can be made from one business model or another, etc.

They focus on the wrong thing (the money). Instead, focus first on where you see a real NEED in the market place and then, apply all the internet marketing magic.

If you study the people that make substantial money via online business building, you will see that they are fulfilling a NEED and doing a great job at it. This can be promoting your own solution or the solution (e.g., product) of someone else (affiliate marketing).

Amy

You say that you've been doing two weeks' worth of traffic generation and haven't made any sales yet, and you're utilizing videos and articles to send traffic. Let me ask you this then - exactly how many videos and articles have you submitted so far?

Are your videos persuasive and compelling, and do an effective presell by elaborating on the benefits of the product you're promoting? Did you write your articles yourself, and are they engaging, informative and have a strong call to action? Or did you try to "rewrite" and "spin" existing articles with software?

If you've submitted several dozen articles and videos that have been created properly with the above factors in mind, you'd probably have made a sale or two by now. If you haven't, then I think it's pretty clear why you haven't.

Paul

Just echoing a lot of thoughts here. There are a lot of guys out here in the same boat. The internet offers so much and delivers so little. Unfortunately ther are too many offers out there pressing our buttons. I agree with the "Focus" comment and the "bouncing around" we all do..like ending up here, you have to look! Anyway this seems a good place. Some down to earth stuff...I love Cdarklock's reality check...its not what you earn its what you've got to spend...he didnt add in the tax take so nett in the hand is pretty slim. I personally want to tip a bucket of fish guts over anyone who tells me I can earn 6 figures a month in the first 3 months if I buy their $27 ebook. Hell if they have such a good system why sell it for $27. But then I'm a cynic. Every day I hit a wall, climb over it only to find another wall.
Anyway I guess I am trying to say..."you are not alone" and as the Drill sargent says I guess we have to get over it and get back to work! Being in it together helps!

I don't know exactly the marketing campaigns that you have in place but sometimes it takes something as simple as changing one word on your page or pages to start the traffic flow. Make small changes and see what happens. Don't make a change and wait 2 days and decide that it is not working.

Stay positive and concentrate on what you are doing. Think from the customer side of things. Would you click on your ads?

IM is really hard and needs a LOT of work. I am doing it for so many years now and i am still NOT satisfied with my earnings, in the slightest.

It took a lot work and dedication simply to get so far that i am making at least ONE sale per day on clickbank, at least that hurdle is taken. But i am really only happy if i get $150/$200 day...but such days are still rare..even with all that SEO and linkbuilding and who knows how many sites.

The problem with clickbank for example is that MANY (most!) products and niches have very low search volume and simply cannot yield a sufficient number of sales.

This is why i am tackling higher search niches now, weight loss etc.

Ed Dale's course "30 day challenge" is now called "The Challenge". Just google it. Absolutely first class...and its all FREE. I did 2009 and 2010...he's been doing it annually since 2005. About a hundred videos and pdf's. You will be overwhelmed! I just wish it was enough! Its just not straight forward. 1 + 1 dont equal 2...because everybody else is doing the sum and getting the same answer! Mark Ling's Affilorama is also brilliant. But you dont get anywhere till you take the advanced course and put a 1000 miles in the saddle!
Knowledge is not enough it seems. As they say in the advertising world..its all angles. Add an "s" or change a keyword phrase slightly and you are in a different market. Sounds easy, if only there wasn't another 10,000 competitors up your tailpipe.

Ivan: If you are still following this thread, the best advice you have gotten so far is that in IM there is a long learning curve. It took me a year of hard work before I saw my first paycheck for IM. And whoever told you that making Youtube videos is a good way to drive traffic to a website is just plain full of it.

I started making Youtube videos back in 2009, and I am still making them today. I have learned the hard way that the click through rate of people watching the video actually going on to your website is about one in twenty. That's right, for every twenty people who watch your video, one will go on to visit your website.

If you want to make sales from a website, you have to get to at least Page 2 of Google, either for one big keyword or a lot of little ones -- and you have to get keywords that will draw people who are interested in buying whatever you are selling.

Building a business online is just like building a business offline. Years ago when I built an offline business I literally went out to the offices of prospective customers, chatted up the receptionist, and asked if I could borrow their conference room and make a little presentation. It was grueling work sometimes, but every time business got slow, I went out and did it, and it worked.

In this day and age, you no longer have to hit the sidewalks and knock on doors. You can do it all from your keyboard, but you still have to do it -- in the web forums, and wherever else you can make new friends.

The important point is, you are building a business here, and if you are going to do it right it is going to take time. Just remember: Back in the 1990's, Amazon.com ran at a loss for several years before it became profitable. But look where Amazon is now.

Others mathods just for you reference and you must find you own

I would suggest price is a poor indicator of value.

The more I look the more I find free. This forum as an example..although not any longer.

I think maybe the key is focus. 1 thing at a time...and dont leave it until its done.

Get a mentor dude, fast.

You cannot expect to hit a home run with every venture. My suggestion is have the flexibility to not only try different things along the way but give things your own personal twist. Many times, people want an exact gameplan which will often give them decent success but it's when they add their own spin whether it is content or delivery method or marketing method that things really explode.

Fail forward, fail often, and keep going. IM can be like a singles bar so approach a lot of opportunities, be prepared to get slapped occassionally but keep going and you will embrace success. Don't ever wallow in the negatives or limited success or take it personally...There's so much opportunity out there.

Don't worry, the problem is not in you.. I was like you at a time.. The majority of people work and work for no use, but the minority work less and make money.. How ???
I'll tell you how, the minority of people spend time to learn and educate themselves before start working.. that's how they make money because they understand the whole process.. as for the majority, they work as they were told, do this and do that ..
They don't know what's going on.. So my advice to you is spend some time to learn but be careful from whom to learn because many educators and online work is scam ..
So Good Luck and be positive

I know it's all too easy to slip into the mindset that you can make money overnight with IM (even as a newbie), but this simply isn't the case.

Take the time to educate yourself first, and then implement on a massive scale in a focused manner. Do not be afraid to make mistakes, as this is how you'll learn and get better. The more you fail and learn from your mistakes, the faster your progress will be. While a newbie's typical impulse is to avoid failure, you should embrace it, as it'll ultimately help you reach success faster if used in a positive manner (i.e. by learning from them).

I understand where you are coming from, have been there myself, there is alot of great advice on here already just want to say don;t give up, it is really time to get excited as every time i am really frustrated as you seem it usually means you are about to have a big break though so get ready, stay focused and good luck

Be pessimistic and don't get discouraged for the money making. Keep on trying, there will be definitely one day where you have been reached with your goal.

Try again. You will surely succeed. If you believe that you can do it then you can. Best of Luck

Keep the faith... Cliche I know. Quitting will guarantee failure. I am in the printing business; have been for 40 years. You want talk about wanting to throw in the towel.......
I see thing getting better because I have kept working it!!!!

Please don't get discouraged, just keep at it, as they say you can't fail if you keep trying. It took me a year to see any money from IM. Find something you're interested in because if you hate what you're doing you'll give up.

There aren't as many people making "big bucks" as you think.

In reality, it's only those who see through the mist, and realise that this is a business.

Those who understand that sometimes it takes a while to break even before you make a profit.

That persistence is *key* (as long as you're taking the correct action).

I once learnt about a phenomenon called the "11th Hour". It is where everything seems darkest, and at its worst. It's the time where 99% of people are willing to give up -- it's easier to do so. But... if they just stick with it for a little while longer, they'll find that daylight is around the corner.

Looks like you guys, have frighted Ivan2011 off, he's gone AWL

Don't give up...you just need to find one thing that works - then scale it up.

Products you buy shows you screenshots of thousand of dollars in a month
which creates an false impression that making money online is easy but in reality its not.
Don't get discouraged..It took me 6 months to get my first sell that too
5 years back. This is what I can suggest you.
1) Join amazon affiliate program
2) Go to amazon.com & choose category which is generally popular like game, books, electronic
3) Sort products by popularity or best seller
4) Select product to promote by analyzing competition in Google USA.
5) Create wordpress blog by write some unique content & review about your selected product
6)Open an adwords account with $100 credits (just search adwords credit on google, you will get it)
7) Start campaign by targeting product name keywords (if brand name bidding is allowed)
8) Start with small budget may be ($5/10/day), 10/15 keywords with concise adgrouping
9) write atleast 3 targeted ad copies
10) Track all keywords/ads using amazon subid tracking
11) take 50/75 clicks & analyse traffic using google analytics
12) If campaign is profitable or at break even tweak ads, campaigns & by adding keywords for more profit. If its in loss select different product & repeat process.
I am sure this will help you to get some sells in first $100 credit as brand name of amazon is so strong & hopefully keep you motivated to continue.
Key to success is finding high demand product with low competition.
Hope you will make your first sell soon my best wishes!

You could also sell real products that people want and need. I make a lot of money every month with my sites selling real products.

Get this free wso http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...h-special.html and get educated. after that implement them and make money.

Stop worrying about the money. Remove that pressure from yourself for at least 24 hours and think what would be fun or interesting for you.

I suggest ebay or amazon. Find some stuff you have around the house and put it on both you will sell it eventually. Music works best. anything by eminem. You will make more than a buck. Most of all NEVER GIVE UP.

Ivan, can we see your sites?

Hey Ivan, you have a choice now. You can either start crying, or you can bear down, rework you plan, learning from your mistakes, take some sage advice here on WF, and keep plugging away.

Not giving up (for a self-pity-party) is what separates the winners from the losers.

Three things.

1 - Upgrade your account and use the War Room here for information and advice.

2 - Use the "product reviews" section here to get info on products before you buy them. If they're related to IM, they've probably been reviewed.

3 - Stop buying products. I guarantee that if you have purchased "several products" you haven't given any of them a fair enough shot to help you earn an income. It's a mistake we all make.

It's not that you aren't trying. It seems like you just aren't focused. Why not choose ONE of your products and try implementing the advice there for a while to see what happens?

i went to find you a good starting point here in the warrior forum....go to this thread and sign up for the course right now!!!

http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-special-offers-forum/344645-robs-putting-10-000-line-make-sure-you-make-money.html

many many people fail because they start with affiliate marketing, put countless hours of work in it and never do a single sale... and have at the end NOTHING then wortless minipages.

My suggestion is that you put your efforts in a own website first whitout products in a niche you have knowledge, with the target to build a authority site and the goal to sell products later. First you montetize it just with adsense... later you build minipages around...

Think longtherm! - earn real money - be your own boss :-)

Another way is to make a own webshop - whit a little bit SEO knowledge.. you can build a great webshop with first sales in lesser then 3 months.

Something i'm doing is i set up webshops for small firms in my City - i get 10% procent from every sale and have 50% rights on the domain. Most small firms don't have the knowledge and money to invest in Internet - or they payd alot of money for a websolution which never get traffic. Help them - take risk and later the reward!

Again - think BIZ - longtherm...

Don't worry, failing is an important part of the way. You will get it right

Anyone else see a problem with the OP's mindset?

He talks about methods...

...but never mentions a business.

Here's the key...

First... you brainstorm a BUSINESS. You find a gap in the marketplace... you create a rough USP... all that stuff.

Then... and only then... do you think about METHODS.

Article marketing isn't a business, it's a method. Same for Affiliate marketing... PPC... Media buys... CPA... or anything else.

This is business, guys. Build a business. Don't be lured by the promises of easy riches or amazing methods... because it ain't that simple.

-Daniel

A good bit of the posts in this thread mention focus - it really helps a lot to focus to unsubscribe from all but the best content providers.

" You are never a looser until you quit trying. "

Excellent and succinct piece of advice.
Sometimes we all get caught up in the details and lose
sight of this simple formula

There have been times I have been depressed over the state of my internet business, so I know where you are coming from

Is English your first language? I wonder, as it is hard to follow you sometimes. If it is, then I need to ask if you write like this in your articles and write/speak in your videos? Not to be rude, but perhaps this is part of the problem?

How many articles have you written? How many videos have you put out. How many posts do you have on your blog? It takes work and determination to move forward, especially when new.

There is a lot of junk out there with well written sales letters. How you will make oodles of money by using their method. Many sites are now telling you what they are not, but not much about what they really do or offer. You cannot find out till you have paid your money and looked around.

Sometimes you just get sucked in to something and try to stick it out, because you paid so much. Why not post on review section of the forum and see what other peoples experience might be with this program?
Internet Marketing Product Reviews & Ratings

Are you really learning enough that is clear in your mind what your business plan needs to be and how to go about it? Are they really mentoring you?

In '98 I had a bad experience with someone that was to mentor me. Instead, it was promote my product, I sent you some leads, why have you not converted them. Get Busy! As a computer illiterate person, I was struggling, sending out newsletters everyday, and not having results. I hold my self responsible, because I did not know how to do it correctly and was sucked in by the hype and promises that I would make all my money back in 6 months and start making good money. I was not really taught the basics. I started over my head and the "mentoring" was not beneficial.

If you have put in a fair amount of work, and you know what you are doing, but still cannot make it work, then move on.

Lots of things do not work out for a number of people. Probably half the things I do as an affiliate fail. Not too many people are going to tell you that, when they are all trying to sell you on selling their stuff.

If you start again, really do your keyword research and research your completition. Draw up a plan and go about it systematically, knowing you are going to need to be consistant in getting the content on your site and out there, along with backlinks, before you will see much success.

Wishing you success
Jeannie

Hi Ivan2011,

I PM'ed with some good information.

Marlon Sanders is Your best bet.

Listen to this guy.

Making money on the internet is not easy. It really takes perseverence,continuing education and the most important is to stick to one specific project and not get distracted. Running off in different directions everytime you see something will guarantee failure. Good luck!

I honestly feel that persistence pays off, not just in this industry but anywhere in life. Just keep on going, eventually it will all pay off and you will be glad you never quit.

You have been in internet marketing for 2-3 months and you don't seem to know even the basic terms. I truely suggest a mentor. Or look at the free section on this forum.
As a Newbie I understand what you are saying. I get frustrated too. But, take the time to learn the business before you expect to make any money.

Question for the forum... if i recommend a product but do not give a link will I get in trouble here.

well i would like to start by saying i was in the same boat you are in
and i know it feels like no matter what you do it does not work........
but you have to see that not every product that is out there training you
to make big bucks overnight does not work and also trying to make you business grow
but at the same time you are looking at all the other offers and other Gurus feeling like you did not do it right or even they might not be teaching you something........ the truth is you have to Focus on your Goals and know that all the other Gurus have nothing to do with you now it about you and your system that you will create out of what you
are learning, one Key is to believe in your self and you will make all that hard work pay off.... thank you for your time..... Enjoy......

For learning the business I used My Millionaire Mentor. Goto clickbank and look it up. Then goto google and look up Matt morris. Look at the sites but don't buy any thing. Look for abundance for life or 7 steps to success that he gives away free. That is not internet marketing but motivational. Also try reading a tony robbins book from the library. Next google freemind. A free mind mapping tool. This will help get you focused. Finally, remember that Col. Sanders of kfc got told 1001 times before he got his first yes. Why say that? It is my personal belief that it is not getting to where you want that is important but becoming the person you have to become to get where you want that is.
Hope that helps.

I just started getting coaching with Dean Holland. I've been working on learning his program. I have enjoyed his one on one coaching.

Most of the time when people fail is because their traffic is to low to even see results. Its might be even to low to test and track any marketing campaign. Increase your traffic and then focus on conversion and tweak if nessessary. Don't give up like so many do, It will come, but I was reading he other comments and some mention getting a coach. I totally agree. YOu see you need a system in play to get the ball rolling and to see results. I used a system and it works for me now and I tried for YEARS before. Its amazing once you get a marketing, sales,etc system in place things just start happening. Also social networks will greatly help you draw traffic to your website.

Good luck and Keep at it because your success will come. You have to think to yourself for a sec if this was easy, every one would be millionaires. Also the more people that quit this the more room for you to succeed depending on what you are selling or promoting.

Hope this helps. Visit my site at anytime for more information!

Have a great day,

I am about at this same point seems I have tried everything but making my own products. And i am not sure I could do that alone let alone choose a niche to make a product for.

Don't give up man

WOW .. I am amazed .. a lot of great answers here!

Ivan you should be proud for being part of such a great community!

My advice: stop buying other people stuff and try to create your own product. Something that the market wants. You must go where the money is!

I hope you'll get your moral back up friend.

Good luck

To make money in Im requires years of work. It is very long term , At 1 point there is going to be system that makes money.

It seems to me that a couple of months is really too short a time to give up already. Like if you go to college you know it'll take several years to get your degree you don't give up after 2 months because it's taking too long.

Don't listen to the guys that promise you will make $50,000 in a month by using their software or whatever. It's not usually the buyers of these products that wind up making that kind of money but the ones doing the selling.

Most people that became big successes had many failures at first but never gave up. It's the giving up too early that is the main problem not the early lack of success. You've got to develop a positive mindset. Not just abut IM but about yourself in general so you can make a success of yourself in life and not take it too personally if things don't work out right away. You're learning. Keep on learning. Study some inspiring success stories of others who have made it big that never gave up on their dream.
Good luck to you

Never give up.

I was ridiculed by my mother, and father. They did not see what I was doing.

I say to hell with that, I used it as a driving force to make money. IT took a while, but soon I was making more than them put together. The internet is very powerful. Building a list is very powerful.

Do not be lost and sad, use that people that ridicule you to make more money. That is what I did, and built a huge list. That is how you will win this game.

But if you do not TAKE ACTION, will you see any results>?. NO!!!

So it is up to you. You just have the love and support of people in here you will probably never meet in person. This place is cool ..... and better than anyone will ever know. So use all this and my advice to your advantage.
