How many can't make money?

I have been... but it's because I haven't stayed on top of my SEO. Backlinking is a lot of work to stay on top of and you have to be really disciplined. Not getting much traffic because of it

Hello, you're right that there are many people here with the same purpose to make money online. But.. you should understand that there are so many methods to make money online.

And sometimes an internet marketer runs not only one kind of online businesses, but many of them.

So, If I right, there will be many answers soon....

lots of reasons why people are not making money online, but tons of reason why people have to make money online .... we have to do the right thing, get the right decision to make money online

I have noticed that you get a lot of ones on WF asking how to make money but not many actually say they are.
It is the same with WSO's you will see an offer and others asking for reviews.
You will get lots of others saying Joe Bloggs is a great guy and his products rock. I did not hesitate in buying this. Etc Etc.
You never see an honest review by someone saying "I bought this WSO and followed the instructions and have made x dollars in just 3 days just like he says I will"

Am not struggling to make $ online.

My main source of making money online in order:
1. local SEM businesses
2. video creation
3. website creation
4. affiliate marketing

I guess my IM businesses sort of inter-relate with each other hence I have 4 different methods.

However, I do advise newbies to focus on one method, learn it and do it like what Diana suggested

I usually know most of the stuff in the WSOs I purchased (given I buy only those WSOs that are helpful to my biz) but if I come across a new idea or an 'ah-ha' moment, I consider it a well-purchased item

yes warriors, I think we're really making real money in IM when we're making above $2k a month.. the less work, the better... but to make the business stable , it takes works to do.. But in my opinion, it's simple: traffic + offer (right monetization) = cash
To the right man (right traffic)
With the right way on presenting the offer
the right product to promote (offer good value)

Focus + Take Action.

You won't made money if you jump from 1 business model to another without giving yourself a fair chance to see any result.

Perseverance is the key.

Form IM didnt made a cent till yet...
Only doing some freelancing works...

There are a bunch of people who do not make money online yet for many reasons. If you want to make money online you will need a lot of motivation, a lot of patience and a lot of persistence. You will also need the right knowledge how to do things. The knowledge can be found on this forum. The rest is up to you.

Definitely dedication. Many people give up too quickly or just don't put enough effort or time.

Your question was: How many can't make money?

The true answer to that question is, in my opinion: very few.


Now, the question: How many people aren't making money?
That's going to be a lot higher...not because they can't, but
because they haven't yet. And this could be due to a variety
of reasons. They could give up too early moving from program
to program, or they could be a beginner just getting started
(in which you wouldn't expect them to be making much money
yet).

Face it, some people will not make it in anything they do.
This is the reason there is so much failure in IM.
If you lack motivation, education and want a quick buck, look somewhere else for work. Or, get motivated and educated. You can get both of those for free.

I have been in the sales and marketing business for almost 28 years. Started out in print advertising newspapers/magazines. I still own a real estate magazine. One of those publications with all the houses that you find at the grocery store. Just because I was in the graphics business Realtors would always ask me "can you do a website for me?" That is how I got started online.

One day the print newspapers will be gone. It is a tough market right now. I can see tablets playing a big role in this. Also, the cost of the printing is crazy.

Remember readers are leaders. And, you need to think big. Start small, go big.

More people on here are struggling than you realize dude. They email me quite a bit about about copywriting services and they don't have much to invest...some of them who have those "how I made $25.678.89 in five minutes" signatures. Take the claims on here with an entire salt mine and just keep working at it.

It seems that it's always a struggle to make money. Even when you're making money, making sure that you wake up each and every morning with the passion of creating something new for people and reaping the benefits for both the consumer and yourself.

Using the struggle for making money as motivation for learning is always a good thing.

All of them who are

1. Buying more than selling...:-)......Just forget about buying anything from today.....search your hard drive. Grab a piece of **** and focus on selling. Do anything and everything for selling.

2. Told by somebody to build a list. So they build a list with solo ads and start spamming them till death. Well the only one who dies here is the spammer.

3. Those who spend their last penny in the name of SEO and then f****ed by PANDA.....FARMER phobia ....lols... but they don't know presell.

Guys, start selling, build a list and build your brand. Even if you are not selling today, you'll start selling soon. When you will, nobody can stop you.

I think people are overdoing in reading and learning courses...

And "can't make money" means it's difficult for them to make money.

Struggling to make money ? Traffic problem is always number one...

This is like anything else. The 80/20 rule applies. Everybody wants to make money but only about 20% of the people are willing to put in the time and effort it will really take. The other 80% (as with all businesses and jobs) will try but not try hard enough and chalk it up to impossible or too hard.

Stick in there and work twice as hard when you are thinking of giving up and you may be surprised with the results.

now for one year i didn't make money online because i bought many courses and try many ways without concentration and till now i try to learn

yes, focus in one thing at a time will work to all people.. don't get too easily to attracted to new flashy things ...

If you know 1 out of every 99 are struggling to make money online

I make 150 a month but I can not do more,

Most of the people can make some money, but just a small sum. If you can think of some "secrets", you can make big. Nobody who are really successful will tell you their secrets. Even the ebooks or training courses won't tell yo all. They are just reference. You have to think yourself for the further secrets.

There are so many opportunities to make money out there, it just comes down to choosing one that you like

people are usually feeling hard to take action, because maybe they're afraid of wasting their time making mistakes

Find something you like doing, put in the action required and stick with it until you start making money... we never said it was easy.lol
Uh,yeah, before that GET A MENTOR!


Hope this helps

First things first, if your new to Internet marketing or new to mobile marketing you need to start filling your brain with the knowledge of "How the Internet Works and Where can I make money."

Basically in a nutshell:
1. People search for information
2. Search Engines get people a list of what people want
3. Advertisers, Companies and Internet Marketers sell to these people
4. You find an information niche or create one
5. You sell to them

Sounds Easy Huh?

This is usually what really happens, someone gets an email or sees an ad and clicks on it. There is a fancy intro with wild claims of business riches and then you BUY. Next you spend $47 - $5000 just trying to duplicate what they showed you. Where did your time and money go? Bye Bye!

IM is not easy, you have to work at it. It took me almost 2 years before I got a sale from clickbank. WOW! I had no clue back then. If you are really trying everything in your power and cannot make money then change what you are doing.

Test Fast and Small.

But be smart about it. Go to google trends and see whats hot, or go to ebay pulse and see whats selling. If its a new item, create a video series for it.

Lots of ideas, lots of ways to make it. But here is the one key....the one item that you can use that will always help to make you money.

Here it is.....

Mental Toughness

You will fail at Internet Marketing, but you will learn as well, if you can stand up after getting knocked down, you learn about how tough you really are.

Good Luck, Gabe

p.s. If any one is interested in a "no hype" plan that I am coming out with on a mobile website builder, please optin in the signature area. I can only tell you that its not wordpress, mobisitepro, or mobi galore. You will be able to build the mobile site in 10 - 15 minutes for free (for 1month), if your client wants it charge 'em. If they don't buy, cancel it. No charge.

The whole backlinking part is the most difficult part for me, just too much work.

The internet is definitely feast or famine. As Bob says, there are lots of disillusioned people using their last $50 to launch their dream.

Most people in this forum will not reach their goals. That is for a variety of reasons.
Some will be very close to success when they give up.

But, the truth is...success is difficult to achieve. People tend to hold on to their money. They must trust you before they buy. It is difficult to attain that trust and authority.

For those who succeed, for those who have found the formula and know how to earn...

The internet is feast or famine. Those who succeed can truly feast at a very large table.

Am really struggling with creating backlinks so as to secure myself a better position a top. May be I will make some money after this.

I've been struggling to make money online for quite some time now but while reading so many posts here on WF, I get carried away and decided to keep going.

Hola,

I'm not struggling but I have advice for those that are. Stop researching and start doing! You're probably hopping from course to course and taking awesome notes but not taking action, and ACTION is what gets results!

I never started seeing success until i stopped chasing all those wso's and products that play on your emotions and make you believe that you will be making good money in no time.

When i started chasing products that taught me about specific aspects in my business then i started getting somewhere. But its really hard for complete newbies as this is what they are bombarded with continuously. But i feel perhaps this is an important lesson to learn and a test. If you can get through all the BS and finally understand that IM works like a brick and mortar business (in terms of needing a product or service, finding customers and a good sales funnel) but simply on the internet then things start to happen.

For me it was reaching a level of maturity in myself that if im going to do this then i need to it properly and learn all there is to know about my business and stick with it long enough to give it a real chance

yes , getting mentor will be a great suggestion because it'll prevent you from making stupid that you don't need to do.

Most never will as they are buyers and followers instead of sellers and leaders.

Like in all life there's a food chain. Where are you in it?

Oh you mean the legit businesses and not the "guru" courses as that's now how I would say msot made their money on the Net.

It's true.. making money online isn't like putting frosting on a cake.

I came in here not too long ago asking what I could do with $600, being freshly unemployed.

What did they tell me? Get a Job!

Awesome advice! So I did. What I also did was "look at my talents".

What are they? I've been a copywriter for companies that do work for fortune 500 companies several times. So I started my own service..

Kind of funny how I never thought I had that talent although I did it for work before. I faced the mirror searching the forums.

Check it out... you might find your niche, it's really crazy how you overlook YOU searching online money making opportunities.

Some reasons?

1) No idea what they are doing?
2) Following flawed systems
3) Using outdated methods of promotion.
4) Business System outdated
5) Playing "let's try and game G/Facebook/Twitter/Ebay..etc"
6) Spend all day doing $5 work (link building etc)
7) Selling CRAP products/services
8) all about marketing and not about the product
9) Jumping from one get rich quick method to the next
10) Buying WSO's
11) Sadly beleiving the B*S and hype and geting scammed time and time again

++++ many more

In my own opinion, I think the best way to make money online is to find a mentor with a proof that he or she is making and take by hand to show you physically.

People are looking for that magic pill and then when they find out there is work involved the quit ... If you put in the effort on a regular basis, you should see results.

I think we all need to focus more on how to think as a costumer and less on how to sell someone something. It teaches you a lot. When you are constantly bothered with the idea of how to make money, you forget to think ike a client, and what he needs, how he thinks.

It can be difficult to make money online, but it is definitely possible! This is why its a must to stay dedicated and most importantly follow the right people..There's never a good out come when the blind is leading the blind.

I make money from ebay and websites like fiverr but not from review sites or blogs.

I posted a thread for newbies that's straight to the point on making money with fiverr. I tell u exactly how in about 5-6 days i got 11 orders.. I just checked my fiverr and got an extra 3 orders so it's now 14 orders in 6 days.
Not a ton of money($48 profit) but for those screaming they can't make money online here's a quick to the point easy way to make money your first week

I've been trying to feast going on 6 years. Wish me luck.

I've got no gains and no losses. So its all good and I'm not stopping till I figure it out.

I make between 4k to 6k a month, but it took me a few years to learn all of the skills needed to make that kind of money. For a solid 2 years I was saying "I can't make money online" before I really started to roll.

I am using twitter to make money (i have 1 million followers)
$300-$400 is okay.

I will share this great article. http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Three-...ing&id=5675569
It is about forex trading but I am very sure that it is very applicable about making money online.

to make money you need to invest money.

I made a few k per month before google panda kill my sites.. now I'm still recovering...

I know the feeling. I have started a lot of sites that haven't made any money. A couple of years ago I had the chance to do some affiliate sites for a friend who had domains with good traffic. Then the money started to roll in (mostly because of the free traffic). But otherwise you really have to put love into the sites you do. At least that's what I believe.

I was the one who didn't make money for a year or even more. Maybe it was a time I spent on IM, maybe it was mistakes I made but finally I'm earning and quit full time my job. My advice is: never give up and work hard!

I think we have good and affordable one on one coaching offers in WSO section with some real social proof from some recognized warriors here... but if you don't have money to invest, I think you you should go with old bump marketing method, I think it's still working well even now.. but with harder competition in make money online niche,surely ....

1- choose a market, make sure theres CPA, clickbank amazon etc
2- get a website try to have you domain name as keyword like golflessons. Com if it's about golf lessons
3- set up you clickbank amazon and CPA on the site, a little writing with some keywords in explaining why you site is the best.
4- add an opt in form from aweber
5- get traffic and make money I your good at SEO do that as it's cheap, if not save some money or get some free PPC vouchers and bid on some keywords!

That way you will make money the more you make the more keywords you can keep bidding on! Make sure it's targeted traffic so they are already in the mindset of wanting to buy!

The making money bit is easy it's gettin targeted traffic is where you should concentrate!

PM me for more info!

if backlinking is the most difficult thing for you to do, try to get free trials or free version of backlinking service,, it'll help you a lot, at least for 1 month of two, then try other free / trial version of softwares/ service ...

Good idea, isn't it

Making "real" money is pretty relative...

I don't think we're making enough money. I've had companies and been a part of companies that made considerably more than we're making right now and I'm not exactly happy with where our income is today...although I'd like that to change in the near future.

Still...others look at the income we're currently making and are flabbergasted and really wish they were there. While our income is "great" for online businesses, it's pretty poor when you compare to real or traditional companies.

Bleh...still working on it!

i have made plenty of money online writing for people, but right now I would like something that feels a bit less like having a job. That would be great.

one thing you can do when you can't make money is you can make money with writing articles ... you can go to iwriter.com (no affiliation) and sign up there,, you get paid...

I might have been very lucky (wait I KNOW I was really lucky), but I started doing IM about 9 months ago and made some money my first month, albeit a small amount. I am currently making over one thousand times more money than I made my first month. Of course, all of this could change with one algorithm change. So I am constantly building new sites and exploring methods for diversifying my income streams.

A friend of mine has been watching my income grow over the past several months and I recently got him interested enough to build his first site. I am acting as a mentor for him. Hopefully, he can leverage what I know and repeat the small success I have had faster. Ultimately, it will be great to have someone I can trust to bounce ideas off of and work together with.

I don't think it matters much whether you can make money online or not, but rather how much you make. You need to check your priorities if you aim to make pennies with bulk article writing.

Fiverr is possibly one of the worst proponents of this mindset. If you earn a living from Fiverr then you are a rare breed. For everybody else it is like flicking a waterfall up a hill.

People should stop focusing on pennies (even people who haven't made any money) and start focusing on how they can scale their efforts.

yes, i'm sure lucky is definately needed to succeed in IM n other field of business

I've been struggling but I also started a few months ago so I guess that's natural.


Been having an hard time ranking my websites and also generating traffic. I pretty much know that I've selected the right keywords, wrote unique content and SEO my webpages. Been doing backlinking every single day and it's quite depressing seeing how slow it is for my website to get better ranking.

Besides I been trying to generate traffic from social bookmarking, article directories and been following everything that I've read until now but without much success.

I wont quit until I've succeed. I know that the most important thing and possibly the hardest is to generate traffic to my website once I master this I will start doing money.


Sure I guess it's important to take action, focus on a business strategy and test several things until you find what works. Although I consider you should also study and I always spend an hour per day for such. I actually consider free information more reliable then most IM Gurus.

In your opinion warriors, why these warriors can't make money? What's their problem they can't solve?

Build up a big fanpage and you will get huge free traffic from Facebook. It's easy with viral apps: Sayn Apps
