Newbie to the community - Can anyone give me some tips?

start with MadeForAdsense sites!

here's the exact steps that will easily get you started:

1. Go to Flippa and find some sites with Adsense revenue of $100-$500
2. Determine the niche of those sites.. and think of some really close niche, or something similar.. or if you're really dumb, just pick exactly the same niche.
3. buy yourself a domain containing keywords you wish to rank for. (again, look at the site you've found on Flippa and try to copy it's domain name somehow)
4. buy some cheap hosting and install Wordpress there
5. Write about 10 articles (min 500 words each) using the keywords from that niche and publish them in about 2 weeks period
6. go comment on blogs, don't use the keywords as your name (they'll ban you), but use the website URL in a proper field
7. go check linkbuilding services that people offer on WF and other forums.. see if you can afford them.. if not - see if you can do it on your own
8. after building links for some time, you should start getting at least 10 visits to your site per day
9. time to create Adsense account and add some adsense blocks
10. watch the money flow & don't forget to learn from blogs & forums

once you go through the steps 1-10 you'll get TONS of experience and without a doubt you'll get the understanding how to make money with Adsense

good luck, bro!

Hello JB,
You have set yourself quite a goal there. What Internet Marketing experience do you have to throw into the mix to gain a joint venture partner? How much time in a day do you have to devote to it?

I ax this kindly, because it's the sort of questions that should and will come up any time folks decide to throw in together.

My advice would be to focus. There are a ton of different ways to make money out there, and just because they all fall under the umbrella of "Internet Marketing" does not mean they are all related. If you jump around from place to place without any clear direction all you will accomplish is to become frustrated. IM should be like any other business. You need to have a clear plan of where you want to go and how you are going to get there.

Do a bit of research into different methods and pick one you are interested in, and then do it.

Ah ha... MLM... You said the magic initials. Well, I have to tell you that the course you have chosen is going to be a slog. Just no way of getting around it. Totally different from all that MLM downline stuff. It's one step at a time in this biz unless you have the dough to hire it out.

But, good news...for very little money, ($5) you can get help with setting up the forum. Run by Fiverr and search "forum" to find someone to help you get set up. I'm on there and I use services from there. Hang on jes a sec.... I checked into this awhile back myself....Let me see if I have a name....

Ok.... The kid's name is Mohit and he's a real entrepreneur... On Fiverr search for " just4kix "

We had a good conversation about forum stuff. He actually talked me out of my idea. Ha! Tell him Norm sent you. He probably won't remember. And if he has vanished, there are plenty more to check. Hope this helps!

Hey there!

If you are looking for JV opportunities, have a look at the JV section of WF.

You didn't tell us what your experience is, whether or not you've done IM before, etc. Please specify a little what you would like to do, so we can help you!

As has been said by others, a JV usually requires you to bring something of equal value to the partnership, such as a product or service, or experience of something.

I'd start by doing something on your own, to learn from. One way to choose is to make a very honest list of your skills and your problem areas. For example, some people don't have the ego and persuasion ability to do marketing or sales copy that will sell, so in that case, you could choose something like Amazon affiliate review sites, where honesty beats hype, and no marketing is required. Or on the other hand, if you're great at persuading other people to do whatever you want them to do, make your own product (such as an Ebook) and sell it.

In my experience, the free advice and systems given on these forums is usually better than the advice you pay for, although it is usually possible to learn something useful from the paid stuff as well, just don't expect any of them to live up to the hype, just treat them as a way to learn a bit, and eventually you'll know enough to get things working!
