Confused - yup - but are you making money!

Hi Debra,

I think burning folders show that there are more than 20 replies or so.

WSOs are warrior special offers, made by the members.

My advice, if that's how you feel is this -

Yes people are making a living online. But it doesn't very often happen overnight. It takes real work, like any business.

What those people are providing you is a lesson in marketing. Take those lessons, but most people find that if they take all of the courses too, they get confused and overloaded and get nowhere.

There are many honest people around, but also many rip off artists. Never forget this.

Take some time and understand that there are plenty of free lessons to be had. The trade-off is that it will take your time to find them, because you will have to learn to sift through a load of misleading junk out there on the net to find the gold.

Overall though, the time spent learning that ability to sift will pay off. You can buy everything and still be no further forward.

You've managed to find your way to the best forum, so that's a good start.

Also, as time goes by, you should realise that much of the gold to be found is not always contained in a neatly packaged product, but it's by learning how to reverse-engineer what others are doing that makes their site profitable.

You can't rush these things. It often takes a huge shift in mindset.

The other best way to learn is to get yourself to a stage where you are putting pages on the net and observing what happens, and then working out why.

I'm not sure how this all looks to you, but it's a summary of my own hard-earnt experience condensed to try and help you. I hope it helps.

Hello, Debra Jane ...

Save a copy of your first post here. Make a note on your calendar
to get it out and take a look at it a year from now.



The "KPOW" emails you're getting from the "guru" you bought your IM course
from are actually representative of some marketing techniques you'll learn
along the way.

There's a well-known marketing principle which holds that the best time to
ask a customer to buy a second item from you is right after he's bought
the first item.

This is a good time to get into the habit of researching *every* purchase
you make online, and the best place to do that in regard to internet
marketing purchases is right here. Put whatever it is into the search box
above and see what other marketers have to say about it before you buy it.

Also, you are now on this guru's "list" so you'll be on the receiving end
of his pre-written series of sequential emails. The thing to do with them
is just simply observe what he's doing because someday you'll be doing
much the same thing, but with your own personal touch.

That being the case, there's something to be said for copying his emails
and pasting them into a WORD document and filing it away in a folder
marked "Sample Autoresponder Messages." It's called a "swipe" file.

As for WSOs ...

Well, that stands for Warrior Special Offer.

It's a privilege, really.

After you've been here for awhile and contributed to the forum, you can
offer a product of your own for sale here in the Warrior Special Offer forum,
providing it's a product you created yourself, and providing you're offering
it at a deep discount to the other members of this community.

If you go to the forum index and click on the the "Warrior Special Offer"
section and study a few pages of offers there, you'll see what I mean.

Keep your head ... open your heart ... and you'll do just fine.

Regards, Elizabeth ...

P.S.

As to your question, "Is it worth it? Should I persevere?" ...

Why not come up with your own definition of "real" money
and set a goal to make "x" amount of it by this time next year?

Then all you have to do after that is work the problem backwards
and figure out what you have to do in order to make it.

Hint:

Nothing happens in Internet Marketing Land
until somebody sells something. One of the first
questions you might want to ask yourself is ...

"What do people want to buy?"

Thanks guys, your replies are really appreciated.
I'm going to follow the plan, get focused and give it a go.
I've been working online now for over 8 years but selling my own manufactured goods - hard work as it's all personalised.
I think it's going to have to be run in tandem with this to start with.
Glad I've found the best forum, at least my course has given you guys!

Thank you!
DJ
