You dont have to have some income for you to start doing online jobs. offer services such as article writing or start a website and after sometimes you can apply for Google ads.

first i would say that....collect information and try to implement those things in your website or blog ...do it all for free..then decide what exactly u want to do......

Did u ever think about becoming a virtual assistant? I mean, it's not glamarous, but u can start making some money until u figure out what type of IM u want to delve in.

Hi Sally, Well with so much to chose from it hard to know where to start. With that said I this you should start either here Affiliate Marketing Training, Software & Support | Affilorama or here The Challenge (sign up as a member, free. and joing the training).

Both of them are great place to start learning about IM and to build a solid foundation.
After you've gotten your wings and ur ready to fly head over to Make Your First Sale Online or http://profitnpocketcash.com/bringing-fresh/.
Hope this Helps.

You could try with affiliate marketing.

Go to Clickbank and select a good product and then write some articles and press releases to promote the affiliate link

After you made some money I would also recomment bulding a website. There are methods to get traffic to your site without having to spend any money and which are very effective.

Hi Sally,

Let's just say you know nothing about joining affiliate programs, building squeeze pages, landing pages, or even setting up a "what you see is what you get (WYSIWYG)" website.

Any of these things will take time. Plus, living in Singapore will narrow down your affiliate program choices anyways.

If you want the quickest money without any investment and know how to write; it's one of the easier angles when you're first getting started. Here are a few ways you can do it:

1. You can sign up for media sites like Associated Content that offer money per page view and upfront compensation for writing articles they suggest. There are other places like Factoidz, Suite 101, etc., that offer similar setups.

I would recommend AC first, because you don't have to be "good" at writing. All you have to do is speak your mind about anything and keep it within their guidelines. However, adding the right keywords to your title, summary, and body will be important.

They pay once a month (2nd wednesday of each month).

2. If you believe you're a good writer then you can freelance work out and use a PayPal account to receive payments. There are tons of places like this on the Internet:

*Freelancer
*ODesk
*Elance
*Etc.

What it comes down to is if you're looking for something where you can get paid soon or you want to build your own business. If it's the latter then your mindset should revolve around it taking time and being patient, even when you reach those bumpy roads.

Good luck and hope I can help you, even if it's not in the writing arena.

Cheers,

Michael

It's very overwhelming when you first start out, but trust me there's tons of people who will help you and If you keep to the basics and never give up, you will see some results. If you are still doing this in two years come back on this forum and let us know how much you've learned, you will be amazed.

Hi sallykayleen - In addition to all the tips above here is my tip. Register for the 30 day challenge, now known as The Challenge. You can find the site at challenge dot co(not com). It contains complete training modules with over 50 free videos. But if you intend to set up a website you may need to pay for a domain name and hosting though.

The best thing I could recommend is getting a coach. That's what I did and once I chose that option, I started making more sales as well as gaining very insightful knowledge.

Hi:

Shireen here :-)

You've came to the right place to seek advice.

This is a great forum.

Please check out my free ebook for some ideas (no opt in)

Have a great day :-)

First off Hi Sally and welcome to the forums, have a look at some of the threads that interest you, there's plenty of ways to use IM to generate revenue, you could for example join some of the affiliate networks like Amazon and CJ, have a llook at some of their products, create a site (could be a free blogger one for starters) giving reviews on the product, with your affiliate link on it, then find other blogs related to that niche, and submit comments on them (with a link in the url field going back to your blog), as well as write articles, again reviewing the product or a related niche, and post them to some of the top article directories like Ezinearticles and Goarticles, the more you do this, the more traffic you get, and the more conversions you get, this is how many start in affiliate marketing

well.. i am not sure if u are still reading new posts or busy starting out.

but it aint gonna be roses along the way.

just want to give u a reality check.

anybody telling u is easy is trying to deceive you. .

as for exactly how to make money from nothing...
as i have said its not easy. so if anyone can tell u how here its gonna be very difficult. i cant imagine how to learn everything in a post. haha
not trying to dampen ur interest. but that is a fact.

anyone introduced u to internet marketing?

probably he would be the best to help you out 1st.
as there are many sharks out here waiting to eat newbiees like urself.

=)

Hi Sally,

You're certainly in the right place to both learn as much as you can about Internet marketing and to earn an income from it. I am somewhat new to the WF but find this to be the perfect environment for noobs to soak up good information on marketing and to also provide their services to other members.

My advice is to read as much as you can on online marketing, become as active as you can on this forum, and to decide upon which type of internet marketing you want to pursue and then go for it.

Hope this helps!

Hi sally dont worry im new to IM to and im doing the Challenge to learn bout IM im also 17 trying cause i cant find a job near around my place no bites

Easiest way for anyone to get started and get a feel for it in MHO.

Get a cheap squeeze page set up with a free report on your chosen niche.

You will need an autoresponder account to send out the report and build your targted email list.

Drive traffic to that squeeze page by promoting it in your signature.

Push this hard for a good month then start promoting affiliate products to your list in your chosen niche.

This is the easiest but not necessarily the cheapest way and its exactly how i started, plus its defo not rocket science and its not that hard to get 100+ signed up every month.

To bring the sales in just make sure you have a great product with a good landing page and offer.

Total cost to set this up:

Domain name $10 to $15 tops.

Hosting $6 to $10 per month (some offer free hosting if you buy domain name through them)

Autoresponder $1 for first month then $19 after that (aweber)

Squeeze page $17 to $67 (check warriors for hire section for competitive prices)

PLR report $10 to $20 or write your own for free (do some research)

Promotion Free, or use PPC for best targeted traffic if you know what your doing.

so basically investing 50 or 60 bucks can get you off to a flying start remeber people love free stuff.

Building a list is important in my opinion and as you progress and move on to possible product creation it will be essential.

Good luck i know my way not be the cheapest but its pretty simple once you get going!

I really think this is a case of getting caught in the "it needs to perfect first" or "I want to be certain I can make money on it" mental trap that leads to procrastination, and never getting off the ground, because neither of those issues can be resolved for someone new to IM and site creation until they stop thinking about it and start doing it.

I was in the exact same boat up until 10 days ago: I kept trying to answer different questions regarding how to launch, things I need to do, how to properly research it, etc, and when it came down to it, I didn't learn a thing until the day I actually launched my site.

Like the OP I didn't know a thing going in, and wasn't willing to invest the small amount of free money I had in something that would likely take awhile before it would ever pay a dime back. Even now I know there's no guarantee it'll ever be profitable. However, here is what I have learned since the day I took action:

1. That in developing my site I'm finally learning all of the things I wondered about going in, because I actually implement them now.

2. That 0$ bucks going in is not a barrier.

3. That even while I build this site up enough to grow to the point that the money comes in, I can still make money on the side doing paid projects for other warriors.

4. That in doing those projects while building my site and contributing here, I'm creating a very powerful network composed of other IM'ers in every niche, that I can leverage in ways that I never even considered pre-launch. One example: within my first 2 days here I picked up 2 paid projects from another warrior that led to a 3rd project where I'm trading some of what I have to offer (extra time and some writing for him) in return for something he has that is useful to me: back links with content on several PR3 and PR4 sites including initial front page exposure.

4. That it doesn't have to be perfect to launch as it can be easily perfected as you build it (at least "easy" in the sense that it can be done).

5. That this site doesn't have to make me a rich. It doesn't even need to generate an income, and even if it never makes a dime, I'll still consider it a success. Why? Because its leading to other ideas I can develop later, creating other opportunities through networking, and when I eventually launch subsequent sites into other niches (something that is a long ways off but I already come up with new niche ideas just from developing my one site), I'll know all of the things - thanks to doing them - that I didn't know when I launched this one. That will be a tremendous time saver in that it means I can devote more time to carefully researching those niches and keywords pre-launch, and leverage my current site along with its traffic, the list I'll be building, and the resources of other IM'ers I'll be networking with along the way, to increase my success later on.

In other words, this is a no fail, no money needed approach. There's no shortcuts involved, no instant payday, but long-term the approach will succeed even if this first site never becomes profitable.

The only failure comes from reading about how to IM without ever STARTING to IM.

And for what its worth, you can see the results of my no money spent, no experience before I started, 10 day old site in my signature. Its not perfect and lacks things still that I plan on implementing, but those things WILL come in time - I just don't possess the super human abilities to do them all overnight (or in 10 days) with the above in mind. But they'll come all the same and its leaps and bounds from where it was 10 days ago, 5 days ago, and even 2 days ago.

That's a handful of the many benefits and things that happened only AFTER I stopped reading about IM, and took the leap into doing IM.

I recommend that you begin by offering a service. This is the easiest and most effective way to get started making money online if you have absolutely no cash to invest. You could offer to write content, get traffic to website, etc. Check out Fiverr.com, you can sign up there and get paid $4 for each gig you do.

You can find websites where you can sign up for free and make money, like The Yahoo Content Network. There's also Demand Studios, if you're into writing.

The way I broke in to the game was to do content writing. I learned how to write SEO articles and I figured out potential niches. Oh, and I also made some decent money too.

There are about a Billion People Posting... I don't know if this will get read. One thing I can say it to F.O.C.U.S. Follow one course untill successfull. One you find what you want to do stick with it untill successfull.

Brad here. First the best help anyone can give you -- this will take some time. Your own tools and situation will determine how long.

Having said that, I have been at this for a while and come across a bunch of good and bad on the internet for the beginner.

I would strongly recommend checking out Chris Farrell Membership. He has been rated number one on IMReportCard.com for several years. You can go to their site and read up on him.

His training is exceptional - video - and can be downloaded so you can review each and every step.

Next for blogs I strongly recommend Yaro Starak. Exceptional program. I strongly suggest you take a look at this free report first - lots of great material -- free.

Once you get your feet wet and decide the approach that works best for you - you will then be in a position to decide if affiliate or self developed products are your strong suit.

Take a look at several of our posts and the recommended sites. DO NOT just spend money - have a plan.

If you follow Chris Farrell you will learn squeeze pages, lists AWeber and how to market. Chris is big into FaceBook and has some exceptional information and instructions that will have you up and running in no time.

Following (at the same time) Yaro Starak - you will learn how to use a blog as your primary vehicle. He also advocates AWeber and setting up a list and then marketing to that list.

Next and perhaps the very best for free first - pay after you are ready - Internet Business Mastery. This link has free materials. Also, Jay and Sterling have a free -- yes free -- pod cast on ITunes. Go all the way back to the start on ITunes about #56 forward. LOTS of great advice and information.

Frankly, judging from your post - you may well be PERFECT for the internet. Long term thinking and hard work may be the key.

You are always welcomed to stop by my blog and leave a comment. I will be happy to reply.

Hope this is helpful!

Cheers !

Build a website and post great content in it. When you build a website, use a niche based on what your hobbies are, or your interest. There you can easily have a website of your own for a starting point to affiliate marketing.

Well as you have said that your finances right now are next to nothing, do paid services..what are your best skills? You can do affiliate marketing, blogging, freelance writing, GPT sites, online surveys, being a VA, heck even as simple as encoding or answering emails...the list is actually endless. Good Luck

I am new here as well, just looking on the posts, i see many successful people around.

many people promote their affiliate links via hubpages and squidoo
