Online Business... Really

Create your own product and figure out how to market it and get sales without buying any other "how to" products. You'll learn 100x more on your own "just figuring stuff out" than by paying for products that ultimately give you a limited view of how to do things.

Yes there is, I do it in several niches. You do needa modicum of drive, common sense and creativity though.

I feel for you because it is tough.

I suggest you find something you are good at, and offer it as a service.

Do you like the write articles? Maybe give some away for free and build your reviews up.

Do you like to design websites? Post a Warrior for Hire.

Or perhaps you could learn a method, and then write an ebook teaching others how to implement it.

There are tons of ideas. Making money online will not be that difficult once you pick a method and stick with it.

The hardest part is just getting over the hump.

Yes, there is. Hundreds of zillions of them. Business is just selling something. Maybe you sell widgets or books or coffee or services or click throughs or eyeballs. What you sell doesn't much matter.

Here's the plan you're looking for.

1) Figure out what you want to sell
2) Figure out who wants to buy what you sell
3) Figure out how & where to reach those people
4) Do it. Put your stuff in front of people who want it.
5) Repeat #4 until you have 100 visitors
6) Look to see what your conversion is
7) Tweak your copy
8) Repeat #4 until you have 100 more visitors
9) Look to see what your conversion is, tweak copy
10) etc., etc

See, sounds to me like you're looking for someone to tell you "how to make money". How to make money is elementary. SELL SOMETHING.

Instead of buying junk/junk/junk - start selling something. Then only buy products that teach you skill sets you don't have and need AT THAT TIME. When you're going to build a site, buy a product to teach you how to do that. When your conversion sucks, buy a product to learn how to improve conversion.

Because when it comes to products, you can buy dreams or concrete instructions. But you can't buy the latter (instructions) if you don't even know what you need to learn at the time.

Hope that helps!

I'm going to go around spamming this message, methinks:

Two most important words in business: Self Reliance.

Thats what you get when you have a mindset of online business...

Try ONLINE MARKETING and SALES FUNNEL.

Thats easier. And cool too. Beside, it's fun to dominate.

Yes, there are a lot of real business where you can make huge fortune. The best invest that I came up so far is Warrior Special Offers categories. Advantageously, this place can support you to create a lot of incomes.

Thanks,
Thinh

Yeah quit buying junk. Quit buying anything. Find a problem to solve and sell the solution. It's that simple. This is the most honest answer you can get. There's no "push button" or "instant cash" system that will spit money out of your computer. Build a business around a product or service you either create or sell for someone else (affiliate marketing).

I find that I am someone who always wants to research and study different techniques and read everything I can find. It comes to a certain point, though, that I just have to make myself stop researching and studying and just try things for myself.

It is a struggle sometimes, but eventually if a person tries different things they will find what they are good at and then can build on that and perfect it.

As far as a simple easy to run business, I do not know if that really exists. Online marketing, like any other business, takes a lot of time, effort and patience

Build your own product. Create your own product. Make your own product. Launch your own product. And so on. The fastest way to get into a business is to have your own product. Period.

If you want to make money think in terms of money not "online business".

You will find that you will make more money, faster if you sell your products in the "real world", in any medium that will take you.

Look at all the gurus - internet is just a way to get people into the sales funnel.

However, they make the most money selling coaching, seminars, bootcamps etc.

Here is the key: the internet is a tool. Don't let it confine you.

I have found the above strategy to work every time. I used Google Places to promote my Salsa dance classes before GP became such a craze.

I did the same thing promoting my music video production company.

By the way, the above post assumes you actually followed the steps in the material you bought.

My advice for you, forget about being an online "marketer" for a while and be an online service provider.

Write articles, design logos, make simple videos, build backlinks, design websites, etc.

First of all, though, you have to realize Rome wasn't built in a day and it takes time to build up an online business.

Also, you need to have perseverance, belief in yourself and a strong work ethic. If you don't have these and are not looking to give it everything you have, you will find it hard to succeed.

That was my problem to. All I ever seen is people saying you can make money doing this or that if you just pay this amount, but in the long run it was just a bunch of crap, but my boyfriend kept at it for 4 years on the computer day and night starting with selling products for other people online to writing articles, but nothing worked. He did make a little bit of money but not enough, finally this year he had a breakthrough and now he is really making good money, not rich yet but enough to finally pay all the bills. It took a long time learning everything but he finally found his calling, and it didn't take no money to get started, and now I am starting to make money too. I just hope I can make as much as he does. His brothers also are now doing it as well. So you can make money doing it. All you can do is try. What else do you have to loose.

Thank you
Christina.

Hi Lsmith5745. Yes. You can earn income online with a simple business model:

Helping Others By Solving Their Urgent Problems and Satisfying Their Immediate Needs They Can't Solve Nor Satisfy On Their Own

This means pinpoint different groups of people that will willingly part with their money the moment they see beneficial products and services which can solve their most urgent problems and satisfy their most immediate needs to ultimately improve their lives. Most of them will purchase the solutions with the most reasonable prices, the easiest ordering systems, the most secure payment processing systems, the most convenient product/service/delivery/payment warranties and guarantees, and the most helpful customer support services...

Organize info about each group of people in different sheets of a spreadsheet document. Write down demographic specifics in the first column of each sheet, i.e. Age brackets, gender, countries of residence and lifestyle preferences. Write down their most urgent problems and most immediate needs in the second column. Write down in the third column specific, not overly general, keywords most likely used by the people in each group to search for relevant, timely, popular and helpful content in the form of info, advice, tips, strategies, techniques, solutions, products and services on Internet search engines. Write down main subject areas or main topics covering those needs and problems in the fourth column...

Use each of those keywords in the third column, one at a time, in Google. List down in the fifth column the top 10 page results of particular types of websites, specifically online communities, such as Web forums, blog networks, social networks and other online communities...

Go to each of those online communities and study the discussions there about their needs, problems, the solutions they have used/tested among other specific and relevant info. List down in the sixth column specific keywords relevant to what you learned about their particular relevant needs and problems as well as the solutions they used/tested and the results of their tests among other things, i.e. Benefits lacking from those solutions...

Go to the Google Keyword Tool to get exact match searches using each of the specific keywords you came up with based on the particular things you learned about their relevant needs and problems. Sift through those exact match searches provided by the tool then list down in the seventh column the exact match keywords most likely used by people Googling for solutions in the form of products (digital or physical products) and services...

In the eight column: List down the specific main subject areas or main topics/categories covering those exact match keyword searches...

You now have a spreadsheet document containing:

•A sheet dedicated to a particular group of people with specific problems and needs about equally specific topics...

•Each sheet has these column headers ==>>

DEMOGRAPHIC SPECIFICS \ BROAD NEEDS and PROBLEMS \ BROAD KEYWORDS \ BROAD SUBJECT AREAS \ TOP 10 SOCIAL COMMUNITIES \ SPECIFIC NEEDS and PROBLEMS \ RELEVANT GOOGLE KEYWORD TOOL KEYWORDS \ EXACT MATCH KEYWORD SEARCHES \ SPECIFIC MAIN SUBJECT AREAS

Now: Develop solutions with benefits lacking from the solutions in the market. Keep in mind the things mentioned earlier in this paragraph:

"This means pinpoint different groups of people that will willingly part with their money the moment they see beneficial products and services which can solve their most urgent problems and satisfy their most immediate needs to ultimately improve their lives. Most of them will purchase the solutions with the most reasonable prices, the easiest ordering systems, the most secure payment processing systems, the most convenient product/service/delivery/payment warranties and guarantees, and the most helpful customer support services..."

Then: Develop your website one at a time, targeting first the most profitable group of people according to your analyses of the details in your spreadsheet, your business logo and banner, your site content, a free digital info product offer to entice them to sign up to your mailing list, weekly newsletters for the month and two mailing list updates for the month, sales pages for your product or service offers with an easy ordering system and secure payment processing options...

At this point: Regularly update site and newsletter/mailing list update content with content offering benefits not found elsewhere nor in previous site content. Register accounts on the top 10 SE ranking online social communities frequented by your target group of people. Complete the details of your profile pages on those online social communities, including images/photos and the URL of your website. Regularly go to those online social communities. Build your reputation as a friendly, niche-expert resource of beneficial info, advice, tips, strategies and techniques in those social communities. Do this by contributing beneficial solutions, tips, strategies, techniques, info and advice yet to be mentioned in relevant discussion threads on the pages of those online social communities. Effective traffic funneling goes like:

Beneficial Content Contributions on Online Social Communities ==>> Beneficial Site content Not Found Elsewhere ==>> Beneficial Free Digital Info Product Not Found Elsewhere, Downloadable Upon Mailing List Signup ==>> Beneficial Weekly Newsletters and Mailing List Updates Not Found Elsewhere ==>> Beneficial Product and Service Offers with an Easy Ordering System, Secure Payment Processing Options and Convenient Product/Service Guarantees and Warranties Not Found Elsewhere

Yes, it's simple. No, it ain't easy. Yes, it's hard work. Yes, it takes time. Yes, quoting Jon Morrow's blog post:

"At some point, I guarantee you'll want to quit. I guarantee people will treat you like you're insane. I guarantee you'll cry yourself to sleep, wondering if you made a horrible mistake... But never stop believing in yourself. The world is full of naysayers, all of them eager to shout you down at the slightest indication you might transcend mediocrity, but the greatest sin you can commit is to yourself become one of them. Our job isn't to join that group, but to silence it, to accomplish things so great and unimaginable that its members are too awed to speak"...

Stop asking the question, "How can I make money online?" Start asking the question, "What can I provide of value that people would be willing to pay for?"

If you have nothing, start asking, "What can I create that would provide value to people?"

How can I relieve their pain?
How can I save them time?
How can I save them money?
How can I help them to make more money?
What can I teach them?

You get the idea...

Get a mentor, a good mentor will help you to accelerate your learning, then you help others to succeed. When you help enough people to succeed, you will also succeed.

Take for instance, if I am in your list, and you provided me with useful info and helped me solve my problems whether via your indirect communications or direct response, when you treat me appropriately ie not promoting every crap that comes your way, my resistance to purchase your next offer will be reduced. Likewise in your offline day job, you are paid because you are solving the business problems.

Additionally, we need to think outside the box.

..., just my 2 cents!

Don't pay the gurus. Be the guru.

To start making money quickly do a search on Google for:

How To Make Money Online Selling Used Cell Phones

There are a few free articles on the subject that I wrote. You may find some purchase links because the eBook is still for sale. Just find the free articles.

Or search my blog. I may have posted the full article months ago.

Selling used cell phones will get you making money quickly. You can get them for free from your family members and post them on Craigslist or eBay.

With the money you earn from selling the free phones you'll want to invest it and start buying used phones cheap to resell.

Many people are frustrated because they are depending on everyone else. Make your own product. There is no get rich quick scheme. You can earn quick but it requires research and time.

Sorry, not buying it. If you haven't gotten anywhere for over two years, it's not the products.

Hi Ismith,
There are a lot of good ideas here in this warrior forum and in these replies.

I would recommend finding someone you can follow and learn from.

For example: What exactly do you want to do online?

There are professionals in just about every field of marketing online.

Find yourself a mentor.

Here is what I would do.

I would build myself a lead capture page.
Drive traffic to that lead capture page from all kinds of different marketing strategies and build yourself an email list.
Make sure your marketing funnel is all set up using an email autoresponer to follow up with your leads.

With this strategy, you can market goods and services, or a business opportunity, or just about anything you want.

Just build a relationship with your leads.

This is just one way of doing things online.

Stay in the warrior forum and learn from the top internet marketers and ask lots of questions.

How about restaurant? ... We eat food everyday. Uhmmm... I think it will not be junk!

Hi:

Shireen here :-)

Buy some resell rights product & sell it on ebay.

Here's my free ebook on how to do this... (NO opt in)

OP - here is my tip.

Don't buy anything else. You already have enough information from the products you bought and by being a member of the Warrior Forum to create a successful business.

What I suggest is to block some time out and thoroughly go through all the information you have. Re-evaluate everything in all the info you have bought. Pick up as many free reports and ideas on this forum and evaluate them.

By the end of this process you will have substantial knowledge of what works and what doesn't. Separate the wheat from the chaff and try to formulate an action plan for yourself with all the good information you have left.

Personalise your plan to suit your needs, likes, goals, timescale etc then start. Do something every day to move yourself forward and closer to your ultimate goal. Drop activities that are not pushing you forward or are not profitable. You will gradually find something that is working.

Now do more of the thing that works and less of everything else.

I know this is vague and general but there are so many different ways to make an income that I can't cover every possibility. Only you know which way appeals best to you.

Hope this helps.

Possibly you must have tried just enough for 2years . Give your self a real try that can take you much longer.

Of course there is, you just have to focus one thing. Let's say, if your interest is about dieting, focus on dieting. Create a site or sell products for dieting. You can promote your product through social media, etc. You will not be able to earn millions of money but you will definitely earn bigger.

Yes it's real and possible.

Easy? Not always

But focus on one thing, stop buying junk take action

I make an extremely good living both Offline & Online. I personally like the mix of Offline/Online because each bring me satisfaction for different reasons. I enjoy meeting Offline contacts, but also enjoy the "passive" revenues from Online.

Again, both are real possibilities and many Warriors are doing very well (but not the majority IMO).

On this forum, many times, you will find "golden threads" that are not costing you a penny but can offer you a good starting point.

Good luck

Dan

I think it's your attitude. Your post is dripping with anger and frustration. I'd be interested in knowing what products you bought that were junk, junk, junk.

Because if they promised dirty little cash sucking ninja secrets you can put on autopilot with no more effort than a few mouse clicks, you should know better. It might be okay to buy into silly crap like that once, maybe twice, but come on, this is the real world.

Success in anything takes real effort. Run away fast from anyone telling you different. There are ways to work smarter, but even they take effort.

The most common mistake people make trying to get up and running is changing horses while the race is on. You've gotten a ton good advice in this thread, far better than a lot of stuff you'd pay for. There is no magic system. You have to put your blinders on and just do it. And you can't go off task for the next shiny lure jiggled in front of you. That's the kiss of death.

There's an old expression about success. Maybe you've heard it. "You can make excuses or you can make progress but you can't make both."

Get rid of the victim persona, it's unbecoming and it robs you of your energy. Then take a look deep inside, figure out what you want, what you're willing to pay for it in terms of time and energy, and just get busy, step by step. Everything else is BS. Good luck.

Stop buying crap. Go on the forums, read, work hard, and you'll be successful. Most of these MMO programs and tools are absolutely useless. All of the information that these people have was gained from A) browsing the web, or B) having some experience.

Success online has a lot to do with timing and hardwork. If you do work hard, you'll eventually be successful. That said, a lot of people just happen to get lucky and find a good keyword or niche before it is saturated.

Anyway, my point is that you either have to get lucky or work really hard to be successful. Stop crying about not being able to make money and stuff you buying not working for you. Just start making content for your site and build backlinks to it.

Hey there,

Everything people are saying on here is true. And number one, quit paying others for junk. You can find out most things for yourself by researching. Stay away from people who tell you that it just takes 2 clicks of a mouse and they fill their sales page with 100 testimonials and screen shots of their bank account. I cant even believe people would buy some of the crap that is out there. Here is my advice if you want to know how to make money online. Go to ericstips.com and sign up. This guy is real and teaches you through easy to understand video training. Also check out Paul Counts, Jeff Wellman, Eric Holmlund, Liz Tomey, and Keith Wellman.

I would also say research The Law of Attraction as this will help you realize your own UNLIMITED POWER. DO IT!

Choose one of the many "Junk" methods and then use it. It will work if you do not give up. If you give up, then you will not make anything.

I agree, there is a LOT of junk out there. However, if you get 1 golden nugget out of each product you purchased, then consider it great value.

What you're asking for is something that probably doesn't exist.

Truthfully, you can make money by being YOU, being creative, and by giving
value back. I would suggest starting small, then working your way up.

If you still are lost, continue to educate yourself then apply what you've learned.

It's really not that hard once you grasp the concept.

One major tip for you would be to NOT bash on the guys selling the products you purchased. To make money, you MUST sell something. Whether it be your product,
services, or YOU.

You have to exchange something for money. So don't hate on those selling. Instead, find out how they're doing it, provide better value, then sell!

Hope that helps and good luck! Don't quit!

Whats that? ...an excuse?

Internet marketing is HUGE. There are definitely several business models you can try. I'm sorry for your experience. But know that, building a business takes time and work. It is virtually impossible for you to have the complete system. You may need to purchase another course, or buy another service.

What I'm trying to say is, if you've got a course on product creation, then it will teach you how to create your own product. But after you finished, you'll probably get stuck on the marketing aspect. After all, what is the use of the product if you haven't got any buyers?

That is just one example.

You may encounter obstacles along the way, but just stick to whatever plan you decided to follow. There are GOOD marketers out there who are not just out for a quick buck.

Reputable courses provide excellent customer service/support so you can just email with any problems you encounter.

--

With all these expensive upsells in every product launches, you'll definitely get skinned buying every course out there which you think you need.

Do me a favor, and go through the courses you bought again. Pick a plan and stick with it.

If you're stuck, ask for help (or google it, if you want, there are plenty of information out there), there are plenty of helpful people here in the forum.

Or if you want, you can LIST here all the courses you've bought, and we can provide suggestions for you

Hi Ismith, I know of a great business you could easily do to make decent money, have you ever sold stuff on ebay?, it's very easy to do if you have the stock to sell, well I know the source where all the big UK mobile phone power sellers get their stock from, this business really is an easy way to make a very decent living for yourself that's if your prepared to parcel many items and visit the post office each day!
As it sure beats working for the average employer nine till five!

Plus you can keep expanding the business to make £1000+ per week!
Please check out my signature below

Good luck

I am sure by now you have received loads of advice on types of business that you can do to make money.
My two cents to you is business you decide to go ahead with have a passion for it.

I'll throw my two cents in here - stop buying stuff, and start breaking things down in your head and figuring them out.

If you figure a way to get loads of traffic from Craigslist, then do it. Check that off your list, and find ways to make that traffic make money. You could package it up as a WSO and sell it - but then others will be doing it, and it will lose its effectiveness.

This is why a lot of the WSOs you will find are great info, but useless as a step-by-step guide. They're overused.

I know your frustration. I struggled for a LONG time before the lightbulb came on for me. Craig Desorcy was a huge inspiration to me when he said - and I'm paraphrasing - instead of asking how you can make money, ask how you can create value for someone else. He also mentioned finding something that you're passionate about.

That got me thinking. What do I have of value to offer someone? Where's my passion?
I love to write - and I'm good at it. I love to teach - and I'm good at it. And I love marketing and know a fair amount on the subject. I'm also really good with the technical skills required for Internet marketing. Those skills may be of value to someone (turns out they are of value to lots of folks). That's when my lightbulb went on - and when I started to make money online.

Thanks Craig!! =)

You've been given a few good pieces of advice here, but until you figure out where you can add value, things may not change much for you. Once you figure out where your energies are best spent, you can develop a step by step plan. My guess is, until now, you've tried to implement someone else's plan. Someone else's plan may or may not work for you.

Make a list of the things you like to do, things you're good at, your work/hobby experiences and your educational background. Soemthing may pop out for you from that exercise. It sure did for me!


Hope this helps!

P.S. And if you need help with specific technical skills, PM me. I may be able to help. And it won't cost you a dime! Just one warrior helping another!

Hey, definitely a solid product with the right kind of marketing and sales pitch is a valid option to building a home based business.
Another one that I found which works is building small amazon review niche websites. With traffic you can average about $250-$300 from each website from amazon commissions.

Hope it helps

thnk you for your knowledge, hope is so possible

You ask this question on an Internet Marketing forum where thousands of dollars worth of products are sold from daily. Quit buying junk, see what is selling right here, make your own product and sell it here. Observe what the successful people are doing and do it yourself.
