Newbie that is COMMITTED to IM, but a little misguided, seeking a clear direction to head in!
It's GREAT to be on the forum after lurking for a little while and seeing all of the value the members offer each other.
I'll try to make this as simple and clear as possible.
Several years ago I tried getting into IM (I was 16 at the time) but got lost in it all, and gave up. Now that I'm 21, I recently quit my job and am looking to "Play a bigger game" for myself and my life, and really want to be my own boss and create an Online Business that, once I've got it off the ground, will give me the freedom in my life to do other things I'm most passionate about (Music).
About 1 month ago I picked up Eben Pagan's "Ignition" program, which, according to him, was the most comprehensive step-by-step guide to starting and growing an online business. However, I feel that I'm not really getting the value out of it that I hoped for, as none of the lessons he teaches seem to go deep enough into HOW to implement each model.
Lately, I've noticed myself just getting lost and distracted, looking for a different program that might be more what I'm looking for.
Essentially, what I want is 2 things:
1) A short-term system I can use to generate a couple hundred bucks a week so I don't have to go find another part-time job (yuck)
2) A long-term (Blog?) system that I can pour my time and energy into, that will begin to at least make SOME money relatively quickly, and be able to grow and grow over time, so that once I'm at a level where I can outsource everything, I will be able to make six figures while simply maintaining my business 15-25 hours a week.
Which to me, both sound pretty reasonable.
Anyways, cutting to the point: I'm looking for the BEST step-by-step, newbie friendly, easy to understand and implement system out there, for starting, and growing an online business from SCRATCH, to the six figure mark.
I'm VERY committed to Internet Marketing, but my problem is that if I don't clearly understand the steps involved, I get distracted and its hard for me to focus and be productive. But once I get in the flow, hours will go by and I wont even notice.
So here is what I would LOVE any and all advice/support on. There are a couple of systems that I'm looking at that I *THINK* might fit what I'm looking for, and I'd love to know what you think of them, if you think they're a good fit for me, OR if you have another suggestion I would be TOTALLY open to it!
Here is what I'm looking at right now in order of interest:
1) Main St. Marketing Machines 2 Fusion - Essentially a revamped program which includes Traffic Geyser and a bunch of other stuff. Apparently gives you the tools to start your own consulting business for local small businesses. BUT I'm PARTICULARLY interested in one of the affiliate bonus packages that is out there, which includes: An iPad 2, A turn Key SEO'd blog built and designed specifically for you and the niche of your choosing, 1000 backlinks to that blog and some other cool stuff. It sounds pretty sweet and yes PM me if you want the link.
2) The Seven Figure Networker - This is a MLM system that's pitch offer sounds pretty sweet... Monthly membership of $49 bucks, but also seems a bit hypey and potentially scammy.
3) "$465 in 4 Hours" - this product I actually found on this website, from David McAlorum. From what all of the member responses have been and reviews of it on here are like, it looks legit and I figure this could be a great way for me to solve the short-term cash problem?
So that's what I'm thinking about. Main Street Marketing Machines looks pretty awesome, but I'm curious about if there's something else out there that I should commit to studying.
Also, YES I know that these programs will onlywork if you take action. I just need to understand clearly WHAT ACTIONS TO TAKE AND in what order and I'll happily take them!
oh and ALSO, I do have skills. I'm a dating coach and charge up to $500/month. If I was able to get a lot of leads to my blog for dating, and get 3-5 clients for dating coaching, that would also solve all my short-term cash problems. So if there's a smart, quick way to do that I'd love to hear about it.
I'm also a killer salesman so I can offer sales coaching to people too for $1000/month.
Anyways, thats a lot of info so I'll end it there, but would *LOVE* any and all feedback that you have to offer! I'm REALLY eager to start pumping away building an online business, and I just need some guidance on how to best structure my learning process so that I can make something FANTASTIC that offers lots of value to people!
Thanks for reading, eager to hear the responses you have!
Much Love,
Adalamba
