Other Newbies On Here - Can you help?

Stop buying Sheeze $3000!

Take JUST ONE of those programs you spent money on and spend the next two months making sure you get it right. 100% right.

Then you can start on the next one.

P.S. I am a newbie - yet to make money

I think you need to take it one step at a time, spending all those money are just making the product owner richer. Take one method at a time and follow it through until you start seeing more results rather than keeping buying products and keep circling around your online project without moving anywhere. Hope this helps?

Hello fellow noobie,
I also started IM not too long ago. The most helpful information I found is actually in this forum itself. I see that you have been reading a lot in this forum, but it seems like you need to do a little more digging. All information about making money through IM is right in this forum. I promise! How to SEO, different ways to pull in traffic to your website, monetizing your website, offline marketing, etc. are all in here.

Also, it takes time and patience to make money through IM because it takes google a little bit of time to find your website and rank it through their search engine. As many warriors have pointed out, its all about how consistently you work on your website on a day to day basis.

Hope this helped

Good Luck!

You spent $3000 already and didn't spend $37 for a WARROOM membership? Join the WARROOM! You will find everything you need to get started there. E-books, PLR, courses, WP plug-ins........etc

Best of luck,.
Justin

I dont agree I'm afraid

it is certainly possible to do multiple projects, it is a question of:

how much time do you have daily to work on online stuff?

if the answer is one hour then yes focus on one thing..

but if you are ready to commit 6+ hours why limit yourself?

People focus on one thing because they are desperate to get something, anything, that works. Instead, if you work out roughly how long each project will take to start making a profit and how many hours a day you need then you can look at running multiple approaches...

there is no telling which will make it for you

what if you spent 3 months on one project and decided it is never going to make you money?

ok so you ready to do 12+ hours daily, that is great!

Now make a daily schedule of tasks and allow a set amount of time

list all the steps you need to take (writing, making videos, posting to forums, learning skills, doing your social media stuff etc etc) and actually spend the hour or 30 mins daily.

Break it down, find out what it is you need to learn and go find it on Google and Youtube. Check the all-in-one threads, articles and blogs on here

best of luck

ps stop spending money unless it is something that directly improves one of your existing projects

I think there is a perception that the War Room is for the "Masters" but it is for anyone who is serious about success. for a one time 37 fee, you can't beat it. I just joined a week ago and am glad I did. It also opens up a few more options here..

You need to decide on one program and stick to it. Adding plugins is easy. There is a plugin function within the Wordpress dashboard on the left-hand side that literally allows you to search for a particular plugin. After you install it, you have to activate it. You can also do this manually using an ftp client but it's not necessary as the other way is faster. Oh, if customer service isn't helpful, try Youtube. If I remember correctly, Aweber has a step-by-step thing. I think I just added the code in the sidebar.php page under the editor so that it would show up on all pages of my blog since I write my product reviews on pages rather than posts. Where you actually put the code probably varies with theme you are using. Back up your blog before you alter stuff.

Good luck,
Joey

Get yourself a mentor. Stop buying software and ebooks. Follow the person who is ALREADY successful. I would have saved myself a lot of heartache and money if I had done this in the beginning.

Everyone says you must have a list but I havent been able to build one yet I am just as frustrated as you are.

Hey Topkat.

Before you really delve into any market. Do some market research.

Hopefully those programs you have taught you how to do some market research if not check out this post. It simplifies market research but it gets at the heart of it.

Market research is finding a need people have that they "perceive" they can't find a solution anywhere else.

fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2011/09/24/how-to-create-a-million-dollar-business-this-weekend-examples-appsumo-mint-chihuahuas/

The technical stuff is the easy, but fun stuff to learn.

Good work on taking action though! More action = results.

Oh my goodness! $3000 is a lot of money to spend on internet marketing. What I would do is first focus on your own websites that are hosted on your own account. Take everything one step at a time.

Create a theme for each website. Research your main keyword, and several other related keywords. Use the Google keyword tool. I would start with maybe 5 to 10 keywords.

Be sure to look for keywords that have at least 500 searches a month each. For competition as a newbie, go to Google and look for competition under 30,000 searches. That is a good keyword.

For example, Google your keyword like this, "your keyword"

Now that you have your keywords, you will want to start writing original articles using one keyword per article. You will want to optimize each keyword in every article.

*Each article to be at least 700 words.
*Use the keyword in the title, first sentence, mid-paragraph, and last paragraph.
*Link to your affiliate offer by banners on your site, or a link in your article.
*Wordpress plugins that I use regularly include SEO Platinum, GoCodes, Google Analytics, Google XML Sitemaps, and Yet Another Related Post.

For each article you write, research 5 to 10 more related keywords. Create 5 to 10 articles of at least 500 words (be sure to link back using the keyword in the article on your blog in the resource box). Submit these articles to major article directories like Ezinearticles, GoArticles, Articlesbase, etc. You would also use those Web 2.0 properties to submit your secondary articles to.

The idea of this is to get links back to your blog, and create a following. Remember to use social bookmarks, and social media sites like Twitter, and Facebook. I particularly like Twitter because I follow everyone who follows me.

You could outsource your articles if you would prefer to save time, I like IWriter.

It's a lot of work, and successful internet marketing takes time. It is a business, and I try to keep that in mind with my own sites. Try not to become overwhelmed, and keep track of your links to your blog and articles. Bookmark everything and keep repeating the process.

Soon you will be kicking down the door, and you will get there!

Step 1: Choose a single method to focus on (eg Affiliate Marketing)
Step 2: Grab a cheap domain from Namecheap or GoDaddy and get cheap webhosting from a site like Hostgator
Step 3: Setup a Wordpress site on your domain
Step 4: Add content to your site
Step 5: Send traffic to your site (eg through Article Marketing)
Step 6: Monetize your site (eg with an Amazon widget)
Step 7: At the end of each month, review what you did, what worked and what didn't
Step 8: Adjust to focus on what worked best for you
Step 9: Rinse and repeat

There is absolutely no substitute for experience. You are not going to get everything perfect right away, and you will learn what works for you over time.

The three greatest tools for any newbie are:
Google
Youtube
Wikipedia

Any time you have a question, just jump onto Youtube for a "how to" video, search Google for answers, or if you need a general overview of something check out Wikipedia.

For any method you choose to experiment with, give it at least 3 months before switching to something else.

Good luck

here's a link to a video I did on plug ins. easy to do. WordPress Plugin Installation - YouTube

well done on taking action!

I am feeling good too as I landed an offline opportunity today in my offline business that will add around $1000 a month for about 12 hours work

taking action rocks! keep going and check your "mind map"

Quit spending money. I know, easier said than done. I am the same way, always looking for the new shiny object, and there are so many of them.

Just pick the one that appeals to you the most and start working on it. If there is anything you don't understand, if support doesn't help you, then ask that question here. There will be someone that can assist you. That is what this forum is all about.

Good Lord, for that kind of money you should have found yourself a mentor, some coaching, one of these, cause having someone look at what you're doing and guiding you is the best investment(personal opinion).

Hey TopKat,

When I was starting, (and I still do this today) whenever I'd come across something I didn't understand, I would research the heck out of it until my mind was numb. Then when I came back to it a day or two (or a week) later, the information had sunk in and would start to make sense. Don't give up too early.

Whether you understand something right away or not makes no difference. You are absorbing information even when you don't understand. If you keep at it, I promise, you will understand! Just don't give up. There are still things that I don't understand. In fact, I'm struggling with something right now! But I'm constantly researching it and reading everything I can find about it. TWICE!

Another tip: Try to "master" only one thing at a time. You sound overwhelmed. Pick one thing to learn all about and read and research everything you can find on the subject until you feel you understand it. Then you can move on to the next challenge.

One example of me doing that is with HTML code. In May 2010 I knew exactly 0 about HTML code. By July of the same year, I had my first website up. Now, I'm not an expert by any means but I can maintain my site just fine. It's an ongoing learning experience but whenever I have a question I either Google it or I ask someone here.

When it came to making money online, I didn't know beans. I learned the basics of a method that works. Then, I learned about every element of that method individually over the course of time. There is no magic button. Find something that works and just learn everything you can about it.

Take advantage of all the stuff you've bought and go over the training. Take it in. Don't worry about getting it the first or second go around. If you pursue what you want to know long enough, you WILL understand it. I'm living proof of that.

All the best,
James

Well so far i've spent 0$ and i made about 250$, i used all the begginer helper's info in here and i what i did is i built 6 blog's with a diff niche's, i took low population video's from youtube for the specific niche's and i uploaded them to the blog's, i added an amazon link's to that specific niche in each blog and i'm getting free traffic from youtube over to my blog's, i had a very few sales so far cause i need to learn how to drive more traffic into those sales blog's

??? $3,000, Holy crap. Either you've bought a ton of courses or you bought some high priced ones. If it is the latter, most of the time those are for people at a certain point that are ready to go the next step, which is why it doesn't make sense to you.

If you have offline business experience, then the first thing you need to realize that online really isn't any different than offline. There isn't some *magic online money machine.*

To make money online, you need to either sell something or help someone else sell something. That's it.

Yes, it is possible to do multiple projects, but I don't think it's a good idea to try to learn multiple methods at once.

JamieSEO gave you a great action plan. Pick one money making method (Adsense, Amazon, Clickbank, CPA, your own info product, etc.) Pick one niche. I do think it's a good idea to have three or four sites or web properties in a particular niche since at least one will most likely gain traction over another.

Then you have a benchmark to compare what works and what doesn't.

Once you pick your method. Read all you can about it here. Find a couple of blogs or other resources that cover it and follow those.

But of primary importance, you need to be working on developing and promoting your site(s) every day. If you aren't creating content and building backlinks, you aren't going to get anywhere.

Absolutely! Good for you!

Definitely create a plan for yourself, this is where I made a lot of mistakes. I was tossing my efforts to the wind by not consistently working systematically.

Set up another profile for your online business for your social bookmarking as it is definitely worth it.

TopKat22

Stop spending money.

6 to 10 hours of exposure to free content for beginners on YouTube in the following areas will allow you to discern accurately the value any future "paid" programs will deliver for your aspirations.

List Building should be on your list of skills to acquire, BUT it is not the first thing to spend time on studying (for free via YouTube.)

First, you have got to get your head around *Keyword research.

Then, *Traffic generation and some basic SEO stuff.

After 6 to 10 hours of "free" exposure on YouTube with:
*Keyword research
*Traffic generation
*SEO basics
you should be ready to delve into:
*Building Your List

Additionally, it will benefit you (or any of our fellow newbies) to get 2 to 4 hours of "free" beginner level understanding of HTML and Php.

When you do decide to buy products again, your discernment will be at a very refined level.

I never go for the upsell (at first) just to see how much of a bite the "out-of-the-box" product actually has in the first seven days of applying it as directed. If it sucks, as 90% plus of them do, (from my experience), then I take the refund.

In all fairness, I will say that I have been very satisfied with some products in the range of $37 and $47.
Likewise, like you and most of our fellow newbies, I have been greatly let down by the $97 and above products. (Mostly, because I was clueless as to how to assess their value for my aims.)

In any case, whether it is free training or a paid for product; ferret out a worthwhile review on the subject on the Warrior Forum.

Look forward to hearing about your successes.

Your fellow newbie.

Arigato,

Newbie Japan

What is your product/service?
Who is your market?
What is your competition?
What is your location?
How do folks look for your product/service using Google or some other Search Engine? (use the Google Keyword Search Tool for the key word phrases most often used to find your product/service and use these in your marketing efforts)
What is your marketing Budget?

Basically these are the same questions you need to ask yourself and then be sure you have thoroughly researched and studied each question to come up with the best reponse. By the way, these are the same questions you would need to respond to if you were opening a brick and mortar business.

Focus on these questions and implement the responses to these on a daily basis and don't get distracted by some other "enviable (or you think) business/get rich quick/better than yours" scheme to make money.

Keep track of your marketing efforts and study the results so you are continuing to do the things that produce SALES results and discard those that don't.

Focus on the sales activity in your business, talk to your customers and determine what they liked about your product, you, and your business and ask for feedback for improvement. Make offers for business and ask for referrals.

Be patient and give it time - even Bill Gates didn't make his billions overnight!

I truly hope this sage advise from a former stumbler, range rover, get rich quick seeker.

Best Wishes,
Ray Delworth

I am a newbie too and yet to make any money. I would advice you to stop spending all those money and concentrate on making your existing blogs great. If you want I can help you with email sign up forms and more.

Thanks

Hi TopKat22,

I'm brand new here. I've been trying to make money in a network marketing business, but I am not a salesperson by nature... I'm afraid to scare people away. Don't get me wrong, I believe in the product I sell, but that doesn't mean everyone wants to buy or get into a sales discussion.

So... I've been trying to figure out how to use the internet to bring interested prospects to myself. I came across this website (see my signature below) that has a brilliant training technique because you can make money while you train.

Anyway, you said you don't want to buy anything else, but this site allows you to start a 7-day trial membership for just a buck and offers step-by-step, easy to follow instructions. If it works, the cash flow it generates should more than pay for the monthly membership and hopefully much more! It was started by a 25-year-old network marketing billionaire named Jonathan Budd.

Making Money On Online Can Be Very Frustrating!

Why?

To Many Shiny Objects!

And The WSO Section Alone Can Lead You On A Never Ending Maze Of Financial Downward Spiral!

STOP IT.

Hey I'm just like you; Maybe worse. I have about 150 WSOs on my Hard Drive as you are reading this.

Make Money with this. Build Your List with that. Here's A Wordpress Plugin that will help you Rule The Digital Word. Well, you get the idea. I was spending way more money than I was making.

I forget where I saw it or read it, but something slapped me out of my Internet Marketing Buying Trance, and it took me back to the basics.

1. What do I want?
2. Why do I want it?
3. What do I like ie (What's my passion?)
4. Is there any niche that is currently making money in my passion?
4a. If there isn't... Is there something else I'm interested in that is currently selling?
5. Is there any mentor - or person making money in the way I would
like to make money?(With my passion.)
6. What am I good at?
7. What am I bad at?
8. Am I an introverted type of person, or am I an extraverted person?
9. Am I a techie sort of person, or am I a non-techie sort of person?
10. Do I like the idea of being a product creator?
11. Do I like the idea of affiliate marketing? If so... Which one technique or product
can I focus on in the begining.
12. What are your goals, and are they realistic?

In other words, sometimes you have to take a step back, and simply ask your self who am I really and why am I doing this.

Little trick that helped me, (and this is how I started to make some sales online.) When you have an answer to those questions, create a seperate Email Account, and buy a whiteboard. Then choose (one) method & (one) mentor... Then write out the steps of that system on the Whiteboard.

And only go to the Email Account that has to do with the project that you are working on. If while working on your project you have to sign up for various other tools and websites to complete your project - only use the New Email account you created for your project. That way you get less exposure to other marketers' offers.

(The Whiteboard will help you to focus on the area that you are working on.)

(And only come to the Warriors forum to get advise on the current project that you are working on. Then once you have your answer, log off and go back and try out some of the advice.)

Unfortunately, not every system is going to work for you right out of the gate.(You already found this out for yourself.)

But I can almost bet money on it; That there are other people making money with the same system that you could not. (This is not because you they are better than you are. It is only because they have found a way to make it work for them.)

You have to fine tune the system sometimes to get the results you are after.

Believe it or not, Most systems can work for you. (I know... I know. You already tried so many.)

Sometimes we just don't give things a real chance. Sometimes we just don't give things the time to mature. Sometimes we have to give things are on little tweaks to get the ball rolling. We want things to happen last week.

It really is all about focus. Don't try 5 different things, and systems. Just focus on 1 niche, 1 technique, 1 system and 1 Teacher.

With all of the methods, systems and products that you have bought, you should have a pretty good idea what you like, and what you don't really like.

Don't choose something based on how much money that you think you'll make. Choose something that you think that your target audience will want, can use, and will profit from.

(It sounds kind of weird, but when you approach it from this angle, something magical happens and people just start to buy.)

Take the focus off of youself and place it on them(Your Target Market).
You will start making sales.

And if there is anything that you really don't know how to do or just don't want to do; Use Fivver.com - Just search via highest ratings. I mean it's only $5.00 dollars. Just a drop in the bucket compared to what you already spent.

Side Note: Only buy something internet marketing related if it will complement, and will help you to complete your current project. (Meaning; Help You To Earn Money With What You Are Currently Into.)

Well hope that helps.
Harold

I've said this before and I hope it helps. I started off selling on e-bay and in my opinion it is the fastest way to earn money online for a newby. It's so simple just find something of value at a very low cost and sell it on e-bay or other auction site for quick profit. I rarely sell on ebay anymore but I can imagine how you could of easily doubled your $3000 dollars using the simpliest sales method around.

You can start at your local yard sales or pawn shops and before you know it you've really got something to be proud of.

Making sales will only wet your appetite for more money and as your risk tolerance rises you can put your initial investment back in the bank and use your profits to
start something new.

I guess you really have to find something you love and begin there. Don't get into something simply for the money, but think more of the great things you can do for your family and social causes. I think thats a great place for anyone to start.

TopKatt22
Stop buying the shiny objects - I did the same thing looking for the easier, softer way, to make money fast, there is none.
1. Start with finding a niche.
2. Create a product or become an affiliate
3. Create your website and opt-in page
4. Create a free gift
5. Find your keywords
6. Write articles and submit them to an article publishing site (the start of building a list)
7. Start A Blog ( another list building tool)
7. Learn other methods to build a list

That is where to start, then begin to learn more.

Focus and stop buying, unless you want to buy some of the stuff I have never looked at LOL

I think you're making two primary mistakes.

#1 You're spending $3,000 on things you don't properly understand.
#2 You're asking for advice from "newbies" on "where to get started".

The solution to #1 is fairly obvious. For #2 I think you need to start asking successful and experienced members where to get started. Advice is usually free. And I assume "newbies" are typically defined as those too new to the IM ropes to hold any credible judgement you could ever find beneficial. They'll typically be as lost as you are and might possibly send you in an even worse direction.

Okay if you're a newbie and you've opted in to a bunch of Guru's lists..make sure that if they aren't providing you with genuine value..to UNSUBSCRIBE.

They're only using you to market to. You want to be on someone's list who you can learn from, but whom is also offering you genuine guidance and value.

Second, you should stick around and ask questions! If you notice to the left of everyone's user name they have a skype icon or another way to contact the warrior off of the forum.

Personally message the warriors who you feel have offered the best information, and ask them to mentor you. And if they are really cool people they'll help you out how they can, but don't abuse it and take up all of their time..because time is money and they have online goals to meet as well ya know?!

Sounds to me though like you're focusing on the details too much. If you already spent $3,000 on Make Money Online (MMO) products then you could have definitely paid someone to set up a website for you, build you backlinks to rank your website for your specific term, or for you youtube video SEO, etc. To show you how to throw up affiliate links etc.

Products and courses are always solid, but most newbs need someone to take them step by step, literally by the hand in order to get it.

So find someone and see if you can connect with them 1v1, kind of like a coach until you start getting the gist of things!

Hope this helps yo!

Whoa ! Slow down a little. You should start very carefully and slowly from the beginning. Produce content and do more research. Those programs are probably rip-offs. There is plenty of free information out there. Fine tune your goals in stick to one project and if you succeed at that then move on. Don't sell your car to make it work tho!

You could take a two day fast-start course that would quickly provide you with a comprehensive foundation of proper SEO principles.

My advice to you would be to stick with what you are good at and outsource what you cannot do.

You can get a blog installed with plugins for a small feeon places like scriptlance, fiverr and even the warriors for hire section.

Don't let the technical side of things put you off

Hey TopKat22, I'm a newbie too and after a long time of wandering around in the abyss of information overload and running down rabbit hole after rabbit hole I decided to bite the bullet and get a mentor. In addition I purchased some 'done for you' websites - but you got your own up and going on your own so you can be proud because you have at least done what is said all the time and that is 'to take action'. Seems to me that you've got the drive to see it through to success. One thing I stopped doing is getting on the lists of a zilion million people. It destroys focus and just adds to the virtual noise and confusion. Most of those things I got for my email are sitting on my hard-drive unused anyway. Since you've had some success in obtaining addresses, seems to me you are well on your way If it gets too hard there are some good people who will coach/mentor. Check them out on the WF first though.

-create niche website that you are passionate about
-write a new post every day with linkshare/cj promotions
-advertise with backlinks/articles/seo work
-have great content and get good rep
-keep going for at least a month to see results then expand from there.
good luck =)

STOP SPENDING MONEY!

Holy cow. $3,000?

Go back to square one.

What is your goal?

Are you trying to create a website that converts? Are you trying to sell Amazon products, Clickbank products, etc?

Do you know what you want to do or are you relying on these products to tell you (mistake)?

Figure out what you want to do and then go back and see if anything you purchased can help. Follow the advice you've been given in these threads.

But for the love of all that is good, don't waste another penny...

I'd seriously consider upgrading to War Room member if I were you.

As it has been said in prior comments, it's just a one time fee only for a lifetime membership and you can literally make that money back in your first downloads (because of the great value) but as a warning note... DO NOT get crazy downloading everything you see or you'll be in Information Overload Land before you know it!

Instead of recommending anything to you, the first thing you need to decide is HOW are you planning to make money online.

Everyone of us has its pros and cons, while some people can't do video marketing others can't write copy and so on.

From what you've written here, I believe you already know your stuff. You're what I like to call a 'long term newbie'.

That's the closest thing you can get to 'online success' btw and the only difference between being a newbie and a successful marketer is that the latter takes action, monitors, tracks, tweaks, optimizes, fine points all his/her marketing efforts.

That tip was given to you already but it won't do any harm to repeat it here. Just STOP doing whatever is time wasting and not converting and FOCUS on what is giving results while trying new stuff as well.

By 'not converting' I don't mean money in your bank account, I mean not getting traffic, not getting leads/subscribers/prospects, not getting comments, feedback, etc.

I am a newbie like yourself but I did make money on my first 6 months (several hundreds actually) and I had no list, no subscribers, no product and I did it all by myself.

Is it possible to make money online easy?

It actually IS and not because I say so, but because I already DID IT and honestly it was easier than I thought.

If you have spent as much as 3K already (I'm already past that point but it has been money well spent!) I'd strongly recommend getting at least these services (not mentioning any particular names):

• Premium wordpress theme (get something you can tweak as needed)
• Email marketing service (I believe you already mentioned to have AWeber, extra points for that!)
• Keyword Research Tool (Don't just settle for Google Keyword Tool)
• Password Manager (I used to remember all my passwords, I have 900+ now...)
• Get a WP plugin that lets you capture visitor emails without annoying them or at least try not to!
• Create your Lead Magnet (a small PDF where you solve/eliminate/optimize/teach/etc) something for your visitors

There are of course a lot more services to think about (like membership sites scripts but again, it all depends on what you want to focus on) but these are what I believe the most important.

No matter if you want to do CPA, PPC, Affiliate Marketing, Product Creation, you NEED to have a central hub and that has to have what I just told you above.

I could just go on and on but I'll end up here, the best recommendation I could give for a newbie, is definitely getting a mentor but choose yours WISELY.

Choose someone you resonate with, someone you can communicate with, someone that you like!

If you hate MLM, DON'T take an MLM mentor, if you hate smiling all the time on camera, DON'T take someone that's video marketing based, you get the point (I hope).

I hope this helps and thanks for posting your problem, there are some great bits of advice spread on your thread!

Take care and good luck my friend!

Sergio Felix

ok, I'm a war room member now. I thought I was the other day but guess there was some glitch in the payment or something, but I am for sure now.

So, I understand there is a lot of great free stuff over there but not to go overboard downloading things.

So, I was wondering if any of you war room members could suggest the best free download and getting traffic to you tube videos?

Thanks.

if you need to outsource work cheaply or buy programs may I suggest fiverr as all your seo and traffic creation can be done from there,plus ay $5 a time you can get more for your money but warrior forum is still the best for information .

i feel your pain find and i to am frustrated i cant even get this forum thing down right.

I started by buting lots of products that were going to make me lots of money in hours, but the reality is to make money will take time.
Patience, dtermination and focus are good companions.

Don't spend anymore money...find something you enjoy doing and...

FOCUS...FOCUS...FOCUS...

Get out there and DO IT...

What are you still doing here?...go do it...

Wish you the best...

Except for spending money on strategies from others, you should also try very moment to learn everything about IM in order to understand more about the strategy you want to take action. Meanwhile, like everyone said, just focus on one way and try to make money. No matter you fail or success, I am sure you will then learn sth.

First thing, That is way to much money to spend on information. Get a refund, Its easy if its at refunds@clickbank dot com Send your order# to them 2days refund. The money you spent should be on web sites. I am just starting out building a list, Here is my landing site systemnewbiefree-ebook dot info So far I have 25 names and made $231.00. Of course I am using pay per click That cost $150.00 So alittle bit of profits, But I get to keep selling and building my list. Also check out systemnewbie dot com will help you out a lot. Thanks Eric PS I have seen some good stuff on here where folks are selling web sites they will build for you. Make sure they are not copys, Google will not like them!!!

One answer as everyone says. Stop buying stuff. Pick one "mentor" or course only & focus. Also if you have lots of stuff, get organized. Look up Alex Goodall IM-Index it is a free set of folders you can use to classiify and store everything. Another thing to help get orgaized mentally and help to focus is a free couse, simpleology by Mark Joyner. It helps you to keep to the point and not go off at tangents.

Stop buying mate.. start acting on any one. Thats where everything starts. Concentrating on just one website or one method to make money. Rest everything will fall in place. If you don't understand the technicalities, I would suggest to outsource.. choose sites like fiverr.com where you can get everything done for a fraction of amount. And remember.. more on the plate does not make you rich.

Stick with one product if you can...Also building an email list can be very effective and it is fairly easy to implement...

You can even get a free autresponder nowadays to build a killer list!

Wow... usually I am frustrated by my lack of start up funds but.. $3000???

Sometimes it pays to be dead broke to begin with!

I've spent more than I should have but at least half of it I would say was a good investment. I can't imagine how much I would have wasted had I had the funds to burn..

Like everyone else says- stop wasting and start doing!

I've been at it 3 months, haven't earned a dime, and yet because I've had to basically do everything from scratch with no outsourcing as an option, I've sure learned enough!

I am glad I have been forced to act instead of buy though. Information overload is problem enough without throwing cash at the problem.

Wen u r spending high amounts and u a newbie...it is always recommended u take advice from senior members before purchasing any thing...their advices shall be valuable and can help u r investments profitable.

Looks like you did a lot of the same things I did. The main thing that I have figured out is you have to have a plan and stick to one thing until you make it work even if only a little. You say have an aweber account well I suggest you start using it to build your list. For $3000 bucks you could have built a monster list of customers.

With that money you could have bought into some coaching done by some of the top level marketers that are on the warrior forum. I shall not post names but if you search for them you will see them.

I did pretty much the same thing. I think I spent a good 6 months just on complete overload because I was buying ebooks that were all over the place, taking me into various different directions and I kept on acquiring more. There is a such thing as information overload. I definitely think I suffered from that in the beginning.

maby u got the anwars but i use wordpress and download a team " template " for it.. and use icontact for opt-in. the best way if u want to start making your list i prefer. safe-swaps(dot)com the money is in that list you make and you start whit a squesse page, and give them a good reson on why they have to truest you in that niche.. sry for my bad englisg you can email me at michael-a-greger(a)hotmail.com if you have any question or pm me

What a difference a week and a lot of good advice and hard work can make.

My site is up, getting sign ups and as of right now, I can hardly believe this, it is page one, number 3 in Google for a keyword that has 1,100,000,000 competition!!!!!

I took a screen shot of the Google ranking this morning as proof because I can hardly believe this. Now, I'll see how long it stays there. But still.......OMG!

Thank you again for all the help. :-)

I think you buy enough data use for your business. So stop it and combine it to your strategy.
You need to find the way suitable with your skills, make a plan base on your favor courses. The more detail you make, the more easy you can do. After that follow it daily. This is not easy but when you find the key, you can open this gate. Start with small goal ex $50-$100 per month and raise it up.
