My girlfriend just left me

try ed dales challenge.

First off (and please don't take this personally) but I don't believe you are in the proper mindset to truly find success online at this point. You said it yourself you are stressed and at rock bottom--which could indicate that you may or may not be desperate.

When we are desperate we make some rash decisions that may not necessarily benefit us in the future. How do I know? Because I've been there. So please don't take my post as me talking down to you. Just saying, take a deep breath, find that peace and then begin working.

Now that we got that out of the way.

Your best bet is to sell a service, or better yet target the bar tending niche with tips and tricks on how to get into the industry. That would mean creating your own product, from your own experiencing and getting a launch put together.

Of course there is always affiliate marketing, however, your revenue will be severely delayed to the tune of 30 to 45 days depending on the platform.

First off, sorry about your girl Zach. I know it must be tough, but it can only make you stronger right?

Anyways, here's something to get you started. Making money online may take a while unless you have quite a bit to spend on advertising. So you may want to look into something offline you can start doing right away.

Since you're familiar with working as a bartender, you could start by offering Online Reputation Management to local bars, restaurants, ect.. Of course, you don't have to be limit yourself to those niches, as pretty much any business will benefit from this.

I've sent you a PM with more info, since it's a pretty long subject.

If you put your head into it, I'm sure you can make it work. All the best.

Honestly, you'll go crazy trying to make $20k online without some sort of income to fall back on. You can make a ton of money online, but it's better to have quality of life first. I would find a way to support myself, and then look into doing online marketing.

A cheap and easy way to make money online is to get signed up with a CPA company, such as Peerfly or Max Bounty, and create videos free on YouTube driving traffic to the offers. It costs virtually nothing, and it will get your feet wet.

Get some money coming in first though from some sort of work, once you do that, you'll enjoy being an internet marketer, rather than stressing yourself out over it, and quitting.

Sorry to hear that it was probably for the best sounds like she was all about the money anyways ( Dance club owner ) Though I could be wrong.

I could be wrong but that is what it sounds like. I agree with the comment above me change your avatar and go sleep with her sister that will make you feel better

I am wishing you the best hang in there sometimes things happen for a reason.

$20K a month? I think you need to re-think that and then come again and make a new thread.

I just left my girlfriend and now shes hooking up with my guy friends. i am in a similar situation as you are. just keep your head up - you will find someone better and a better job. just keep looking. try providing a service for someone online, what are you good at?

you can consider signing for the keyword academy, they charge 30$ a month i think but they provide all the resources necessary to earn a lot of money with Adsense. If you follow their advice and add on it you can have everything set up much quicker than they predict.

Burn The Ships and Hail Mary’s… | Ed Dale's Blog

I think the first thing you should do is take a minute to step back and take a deep breath. Think about exactly what you want to attack and what niche you are passionate about. Figure out what makes you tick and what drives you. It's not just the money I'm sure as we all have drive other than money and may not know it.

I would cut that number in half minimum too. $20k from scratch is a tough battle. Doable but not easily from scratch and not without time. Focus on life and what you want in long term and not just on the $20k.

I wish I could help more but I can tell you this...life's obstacles are events that make us stronger and everything happens the way it's supposed to happen. Things will be ok. Just conitnue to focus on YOU as a whole and not her.

This is another thread someone else is likely to post. Have a read through it if you have not already. It was basically put together for this exact type of circumstance.

http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...desperate.html

sorry to hear about your g/f , the very first thing you have to do is "be calm". then think what you really want to do? On what subject you are good (marketing, writing etc.)?

Make a plan and stick to it.

Hey bro, sorry to hear about your girlfriend, though by the sounds of it you probably dodged a bullet.

Anyway, on to more important things

You've got information overload - don't sweat it.

Here's IM success in it's simplest form:

1) Choose a passionate niche of buyers where youalso have a genuine interest
2) Offer a freebie in exchange for their email address behind a squeeze page
3) Drive traffic to that squeeze page
4) Deliver useful information and promote relevant affiliate products to your subscribers
5) Develop your own products, recruit affiliates to promote them for you
6) Hit $20,000 a month and flip your ex-gf the bird

Sound good?

Don't forget what you're here to do, sell stuff.

You need to focus on doing what I outlined sequentially, start with the niche selection process and research as much as you can about niche research, then do what's required and move on to building your squeeze page.

God speed soldier!

Go back and beg for your bartending job back. You should have never left it without a year's backup income in savings to tide you over and you should have never asked a girlfriend to "spot" you while you experiment with IM. I probably would have bailed too.

Sounds harsh ... yeah, but reality is that it is irresponsible to expect someone else to support you, especially a girlfriend and irresponsible to leave a job when you have nothing else going.

It was not a big deal about your girl friend left you...The most important thing is you need stand up and make your dream come true. Making $20000 a month is possible and you must have the right mindset and strong desire in making this goal come true. You need to get involve in the right business program to help you to grow and a program that you guide you through to achieve your goal. There are still many business opportunity out there which you do not have to use huge investment to begin your online business. I have the same goal like you do...I'm chasing after it..be positive and be focus. Cheers!

This guy is a legend....

First, if that girl who left you is that one on your avatar, I suggest you change it to avoid distractions while reading useful suggestions above.

I started with no job and I pulled it of so i reckon you can.

All I can recommend is to get a proven course and keep working on it till you're successful with it.

What ever you do, don't jump around from business model to business model every week 'cos you didn't see results quick enough... It takes time to make money online despite what sales pages/videos will tell you.

And yeah, screw her. Sounds like she was just all about the money anyway. Pull this of and she'll be turning up with the begging bowl beggin' for forgiveness!

Good luck buddy... You can do it!

James Scholes

Oh come on seriously!, if you need help just look around, don't make up lies in order to get spoofed. I honestly get annoyed at these types of threads, If your girlfriend REALLY did leave you then I'm sorry about that, however I feel it's a bit cheap using that to get help.

Become a reseller for an established line of products/services that are in demand. Use social media to establish a beachhead and create relationships with people who can benefit from buying your product.

To heck with your lame ex-girlfriend. It's a good thing you found out what she was about before you married her at least

I think you can make $20,000/month if you set your mind to it. You just need high demand, a quality product, and good communication skills.

Stay away from gurus, and buying worthless IM products, and really think about selling something that's high-quality and that people can use. Don't let naysayers tell you you'll fail. If you believe them, you will.

Setting a goal like 20k/month is great, if you put it in perspective and put a time frame with it. In the short term look to replace your current income, or at the very least cover all of your bills.

Sit down and put your budget together of what you need to survive (shelter, clothing, food). Once you have that number aim for that immediately (next 30-90 days).

Then, aim to replace your current income as a bartender (Next 4-12 months)

Then work for the 20k per month (next 1-4 years).

By setting realistic goals, and setting a concrete timeline you are more likely to reach your goals and not get discouraged.

Im only going to post once in this thread because suzanne hit the nail on the head.

My advice....MAN UP!

Stop feeling sorry for yourself and expecting all of us to do the same and gather a pitty party for you. Get off your ass and get it done. Thats the Number 1 problem with newbies. They expect do make 20grand overnight and put 0 effort to it, then they come back on here wondering why it hasnt worked in 48 hours. Forget the gf and find another one. If its meant to be she will come back. If its not then let the (female dog) go. Dont sit here and pout. Do your research, find your niche, Put some effort into it.

Turn your desperate experience into money income streams.

Sorry to hear about that Zach. Just stay focused on your business and it will all workout in the end.

If you want to get fast money, register on Cupid affiliate and invest 100-200 USD on Facebook ads and POF for generating traffic. Doing SEO will takes time so this option is best for you but this business is risky though

I feel bad about what happened to you and your girl. I wish you luck but $20k a month is hard man. It takes time and money to achieve your goal.

You need to get your job back or get some kind of job to have money coming in. Being your own boss does not guarantee a paycheck. Work a regular job and do your own business on the side. When you make more money than your full time job, give it 6 months to 1 year. After this period then consider quitting your job and making your side venture/job a full time thing.

zach i think you should change your goal from earning 20k per month to earning enough to buy this guys club and firing him on a serious note id say alot of the guys on here are giving good advice however you say that you left your job and your gf was going to sub you soyou could work on your own, so what was you going to do with her money? you mst have had an idea or a plan then

First thing to do now is forget about your girlfriend, after that sit down and think what you want to do to make money on the Internet, third is put it in action!

OP, you can do it. But you may not find answer here. I would suggest you go over to the offline section of this forum and ask for John Durham. That guy is machine and a motivator.

There are people making a killing with what they have learnt from John Durham... One guy name payoman gave a break down of his last month's earnings of $7k. And he was able to do this with what he had learnt from John Durham. There are many more. You stand a better chance since you are based in US.

I shall be doing the same here in Nigeria and have even gone further to tweak the whole idea and add some more flavour.

Here is one of the greatest thread on WF by John Durm-->http://www.warriorforum.com/offline-...knowledge.html read and enjoy.

Someone has the claws out in this thread. Saucer of milk for ................

I'm surprised that nobody so far has mentioned the obvious:
Write an ebook on how to keep your girlfriend.

This is the matter on your mind and you can look at the
mistakes you made and research how you can do better
the next time. But at least your passion could turn into
an instant project. In that way you don't have to worry
about the distraction of the lost girlfriend because that
would be the fire in your belly that propels your research.

-Ray Edwards

The Pity Train has just derailed at the corner of Suck It Up and Move On, and crashed into We All Have problems, Before coming to a stop at Get The Hell Over It.

Get your head straight and move on...NOW! These things happen in life. Now, if she ever decides to come back to you, just tell her no. That's right, just tell her no. Don't position yourself as a weak fool by taking her back.

You need to concentrate on your business with minimal distractions. Hold your head up and move forward.

Business entrepreneurship (online or offline) requires a balanced mindset to take proper business decisions. My advice to you at this point is to fix your personal problems and then, once you're psychologically ready, get started.

The very fact that you mentioned that your girlfriend has left you (thread's very title!) indicates that at this moment your mind is more fixed into your personal than your professional self.

Take your time, breath, gather yourself together first, and then come back.

Some times i love this place, you will be misinterpreted, misjudged, an argument will ensue, some will want to use the most obscure language but the modyys never sleep.

Different people have different things that brings out the strength and flaws in them.

Zachrobinson, if losing your girlfriend to a richer man makes you want to be the president of the United State so that you can showcase what a better man you are then go for it.

Your girl has been stolen, want her back, go make some money.

Want her to regret her actions, go make some money too, if that is the way you become an incredible hawk.

Whatever you do, make sure and keep track of your progress. Its a motivator, and you can look back and be proud of what you have accomplished.

Forget her and get money. Once you start making money then the girls come running to you. Even your ex-girlfriend will come running back.

.. sorry to hear that.. but $20K/Month.. most of the time i see senior members happily posting that they make $500-$600/wk... from my experience.. start working part time and find experienced mentor... internet marketing not that easy as I thought (else you find some crazy niche in a shot).. but after buying couple of WSO's. reading posts.. I know what I am doing .. sort off.. good luck and if you find a way to make $20K/mnth please let me know..

Sorry to hear that man! Don't stress out about it, just get back on your feet. We have all been there at one point or another. On the other hand, you will need a lot of startup capital to get rolling. So I recommend a CPA (Cost Per Action) company where you can see how you perform as an affiliate and make some quick bucks.

Get a hammer and a nail and start hammering very consistently.

Just because you are desperate to make money online doesn't mean that you are not able to do it right now.

Most likely, it's good that your girlfriend left you, meaning that she is probably not the right girl for you. But that's none of my business since I don't know you nor her.

Making money online is one of the most profitable paths you can take in life. And because it is so profitable and popular, many people are "trying" to make things happen.

I'd definitely not recommend any newbie to start with SEO or Google AdWords at this time. It's way too difficult and unpredictable for a newbie.
If you want to make real money online, you have to have a system that is not relying on someone else.

You need to be in charge of what you do and never let someone else have the power to possible take control over your financial future.

I'd recommend any newbie to start of with list building, affiliate marketing and creating your own products. Those 3 marketing techniques are the best and most stable ways to create an income on the internet.

If you're building a least all you really need to achieve is a stupid level of success. If you built a list of 3000 targeted leads, you have the power to pull in 4 figures a month by marketing affiliate products and your own products.

Start building a list and making money through affiliate marketing, product creation and coaching.

You can always find a new girlfriend, and a better girlfriend. So if I were you, I'd do some meditation to clear your mind and otherwise begin researching your new endeavor.

Focusing on research, rather than creating, will keep your mind occupied.

This is important since as a previous poster mentioned, you are probably not in the best frame of mind to start an endeavor.

I personally think that with a goal of $20k a month, you'd be best off creating a good priced product and more inexpensive supporting products, maybe with price points of $ 197, $ 97, $47, and smaller reports for your funnel at $ 9.99 and under.

Good luck, pal.

Sounds like you want someone to tell you what to do, your inner lodestone of direction seems to be a little weak, and it therefore affects your whole output.

At any rate, if your girlfriend just left you, why not do relationship product affiliate marketing, dating sites, etc.? Travis Sago's MOMU has treated me well in the past, it will for you to!

Get a new girlfriend first! Until you don't fill that void in your life you will not be able to get going.

Then come back here with a fresh mind and start working with ideas converted into plans and plans into action.

Hey Zach it's a lot of sound advice in here my friend.

But the best three things you can do in a nutshell are:

1. Get another job - so you can take care of bills
2. Get into a profitable niche (check the searches on bar tending since you are skilled at that)
3. Start building a list, and sell a service or product,

Since you do have some money to spend, consider getting a good mentor, as this will help you speed things up

If you stay focused - you may see a profitable monthly income in possibly 5- 6 months, depending the time and effort you put into (can't say it will be 20k but at least it is a good start.)

PS - try to stay away from getting another girlfriend until you are comfortable running your business. You don't want any unnecessary distractions

One of my main bits of advice is to find out who the good guys are to follow. If I then gave you a short-list that might come across as too self-serving. So hard though it is to give you my own list or mini list, I'll stop myself doing that. But homing in on who is truly worth listening to is one good way to go.

All the very best.

There are a lot of conflicting things going on here that bother me. But what bothers me the most is that you waited till after your GF left you, to decide that you now want to become rich and successful.

Your post comes off like 90% emotions and 10% logic, and in this mindstate you are very unlikely to succeed at anything. I'm not trying to be rude I'm trying to open your eyes to the trap you are setting for yourself.

You need to focus on stabilizing your emotions, detaching from this girl, and moving on with your life. If you jump the shark in the mental state you're in now, and DO get rich, I can tell you for certain you're not going to feel good about it. Money will not make the pain of betrayal magically disappear. You need to deal with that pain headon, then save getting rich for when you are more emotionally grounded.

Thats just my advice & g/luck! - Red

ps. Somehow I missed your goal of $20,000 a month so that changes things.
It changes "90% emotional" to "100% emotional" and "O% logic". You are OBVIOUSLY in a very emotional state, so like I said work on that before you work on conquering the world. =]

Become a War Room member. Everything you will ever need to know about IM, SEO, Traffic and lead generation will be in there

You need to find one specific tactic that works, and scale it up. Your problem will be finding the one thing that will work however, you are new, so you will be pulled in a million different directions, never focusing on one thing and taking action.

find other girl, no other cure imo.

That would mean creating your own product, from your own experiencing and getting a launch put together.

Your doing this for the wrong reasons. Allow me to explain..

She left you. You shouldn't even be thinking about her right now BUT here is what you are doing. You want to make it big with Internet marketing (hence the 20k per month goal). You think suddenly becoming successful will get your girl back, which if it does - great you've just confirmed that she's only in it for the money hence leaving you for the dance club owner (who obviously has money).

Also, how can you expect to just quit your job and have your girlfriend support you for the entire time whilst you start making money online?

Forget the girl, and for now forget your quite ridiculous 'dream' - get your job back, or get another one so your atleast earning something, then in you spare time focus entirely on IM.

And as for your girl, forget about her, she's gone, you don't need her. I suggest to start by removing her out of your display pic.

This is will be my plan for you in this condition..

1) Keep this desire and goal all the time, this will make you successful one day if you take this as a challenge. You will be successful, just don't loose this desire.

2) You need a permanent income coming to your account whether through doing Job or selling service you must have this because you are very new in online income and it takes at least 3 months to learn it and than apply it, cause it is time consuming for learning and applying it. So must have plan A income source coming to your account every month so now focus on this but keep the desire on.

3) Once you have plan A income than don't loose your desire and destination about online business. Start it as soon as your Plan A income started, everyday for 1 -2 hours, focus on it, get good mentor and practice it everyday.

For $20,000 per month I would highly suggest you learn lead generation income cause this is the fastest and most long term business in internet. Learn how to generate leads, how to build a lead capture page and so on. Make sure you choose the right mentor.

I hope this helps

Sorry to hear about your girl Zach. But to help you get started, you need to list down all the things that you can do and where you are good at. Since you have read the previous threads you can always read them back if you are having a hard time or have questions in mind. Or you can also ask or create new thread for your queries. Good Luck!

Most likely it will take a few weeks to make a good income online, but you seem motivated and I don't want to be the person that says it's impossible.

I like Blogging Pro's idea to do something with bartending. Teaching how to get into the business, or you can create a mixed drinks "recipe" book, sell it on clickbank, etc. Just an idea. Good luck!

Sorry to hear that (GF breakup)... remember, there are plenty of fish in the sea, bro. Keep your head up and keep moving forward to improve yourself... set realistic goals and focus on just the few winning ideas and strategies you have strength in that have the potential to bring reliable, steady cash flow... peace, HP

You must be confidence while you wish to earn $20,000 per month . But that not a dream for you . You have the confidence mean you must be have something that expertise and cause you confidence with .
You need to use your expertise to find out which way is more suitable for you to monetize with . Some people good in marketing and get lot of traffic , some people good in writing article and e-book , some people good in promote and selling products. So make sure what you good at just choose how you going to earn money.

Hi Zach,

Wow, you're quite a predicament and sounds like you need to begin making money pretty quickly. $20k/mth is a great goal, however it can be challenging to reach, especially for a new marketer such as yourself.

The quickest way to reach your goal is to create your own product so that when you make sales you're keeping all of the money. There's several products out there can you can purchase to show you how to make your own product and if you think you have the patience to do create it, I'd say go for it.

It goes without saying that speed of implementation is vital in your particular situation so I'd say you take no more that two days to create your product and get it ready to market and sell.

If you don't want to take the time to actually create your own product, there are two programs I would recommend that you can market and sell as an affiliate where you can earn 100% on all of your sales as if you created them yourself. They are high quality, high converting traffic generation products that serve dual purposes.

1.) Teach you how to effectively and quickly build your own online business.

2.) Allows you to earn 100% commissions in affiliate income.

Both programs are low teir with high converting back end up sales to increase your profits. (if your interested in learning more about these programs, send me a PM)

As far as your marketing options, I'd dive right into paid advertising as this is the fastest way to generate traffic and produce sales.

It's great that you have a marketing budget, but I wouldn't suggest you start doing paid advertising without first learning how to properly do it of course. There are numerous paid marketing strategies available to you, many of which you'll learn in one of the above programs should you choose to utilize them.

You can also check out the post I made that shares a simple to implement paid marketing strategy:

5 Steps To KILLER Bottomless Pit Banner Advertising

$20k/mth is possible, but wont be very likely in your first couple of months online. Sit down and write out a plan and set attainable goals for yourself. Soon you'll be able to rocket pass $20k/mth and laugh in your ex's face all the way to the bank ;-)

Good luck!

Ti Roberts

P.S. I couldn't leave this post without mentioning that if you're serious about hitting your $20/k mth income goal it is VITAL that you groom yourself and start listening, reading, and reciting positive affirmations and digesting any self help mindset material that you can. You'll also need to master the art of testing and tracking - the #1 skill you'll need really be able to scale your income online.

For any business you need:

Product
Customers
Marketing method
Delivery method

What can you offer to people in the way of a product or service? If you haven't got anything to offer then you need to find someone with a product or service who you can affiliate.

Assess your network for people who would benefit from what you can offer or who have access to people who can benefit from what you can offer.

Where can you find these people? Are they Online? Offliine? Forums? Events? I find it important to mix online and offline marketing.

Delivery method digital product? books, videos, webinars, membership sites, spreadsheets etc Real product? postage, storage, cost of bulk buying, dropshipping, fulfilment centers.

Hey Zach,

I'm a newbie so I'm not going to give you advice on how you can go make $20k a month or if that's even possible.

Nor am I going to provide an opinion on desperation and its impacts - positive or negative - on your goal.

However, what I will say is, you have to be going into this for yourself. To make yourself happy. To make yourself a success. To allow yourself to be free of a 'job'.

This can't be about anyone else, especially not your ex-girlfriend!

If you make this about trying to show her she's wrong etc, you will not succeed (in my opinion). Whilst this can be a motivator, it's more than likely going to be a distraction and lead to you jumping from one idea to another in the hope of hitting that magic button. This has got to be about you!

So, my advice would be; Go take a little break from things and try and unwind. When you lose the feeling of hatred towards your ex, come back here and start a new thread with 'I'm new to IM and am looking for advice'. No back story and no mention about your gf. Just a positive attitude about starting a genuine online business for yourself.

Good luck.

P.S Change your avatar!

I have to say this forum is definitely the place to get good advise on how to make money online. I love that so many people interact here (and have little side arguments as well ). There is one program I recommend to make the amount you're looking for. Have you heard of the Empower Network?

Right disposition and timing is everything when you want to succeed. And although heartbreaks can sometimes bring out the best in you, you need to stay focused.

I also suggest you start small first. 20K/month may be for your long term goal.

Hey Zach - first off, you have the right attitude that is needed to succeed at IM - passion, ambition, things like that. Keep that attitude and you will succeed fast.

As per your question - You can start with whatever you want but my advice is pick something you either know something or that you've done in the past - if there's no such thing, ask yourself if you have the money to go the paid-traffic route (because it usually takes some money to lose before you get profitable) and if you don't, consider the following ways of generating traffic:

SEO
video marketing
forum marketing

The latter two are what people start at and it's understandable - you don't need too much if any technical knowledge to drive forum traffic to your offers and you don't really need to be a techie guy to upload some videos to Youtube.

The key in everything you can do online is to find a targeted traffic source and connect it with the offer or product you are promoting.

Sorry to hear that bro. That really suck. Some women are just after the money this days. Search the warrior forum, I am sure you will find valuable information on how to make money. Set your target low for now. $20k a month might be too much to ask for now but slow and steady you can get there. Good luck!

I was thinking about this a little bit more and realized you said you had read all of the 2010 posts....great, you read OLD news. Things change a lot in the online world. I suggest you read the stuff that is a little bit more recent. Also, pay the membership and dive into the members only area. You will find a wealth of knowledge in there and most of it is pretty current.

Like some persons have suggested before you can start by offering your services (writing, seo etc) or you can go into partnership with some persons. If interested in amazon merchant parnerships you can contact me.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

You can do it! And yes, local bars doing reputation management and maybe SEO, Adwords, etc seems to be a good fit for you.

If you're really short on cash, keep the job for now. It's probably part-time right? So the rest of your free time you can invest in your IM business

Hey bro, sorry to hear about your girlfriend.

Thanks to all of your help. I have the ball in motion!
I have picked my niche now so I want to put up a the WP blog, talk about this niche give good information to enlighten people about this topic. Do some good blogging.

Don't worry I will have optin in get my free e-book and this one will have good information and make it the best knowledgable e-book (right?)

I want to have an opt in newsletter or "get my free e-book on how to..."
Eventually I would like to have on this WordPress site - Adsense, CB, Amazon affiliate, sell my own e-book, sell my own products too. I need help with more direction though.

Ok here we go:

1.) I picked my niche/topic/industry
2.) I purchased my domain from GD
3.) I got a HG hosting account
-------------------------------
4.) Next, get WP....is it wordpress.org or .com?
5.) I need to get a theme, I read 100 of posts about WP themes and it looks like everyone like themeforest.net - I go to the WP category, now which category/section is for me? blog, creative, misc, ecommerce??
I open to ideas on which theme is good, or help me with which category to look in on themeforest

Which kind of themes should I browse in (something that I can blog, sell my e-books, sell my products, blog more, adsense, amazon affiliate, CB, have links in there so when people click I get money, etc.

Help guide me through this on what to do next.

Before you start buying up stuff left and right, do yourself a favor and write a business plan.

To make money you have to sell *something* - Just throwing up a site and a wordpress theme and blogging away isn't going to get you far.


You need to ask yourself questions like these:

1. Who is my target audience?
2. What problems do they have that I intend to solve through use of my website?
3. How am I going to solve that problem through use of my website/product?
4. If I know how I'm going to solve their problem, what steps do I need to take to create that solution?
5. I have the solution ready, how am I going to present it/sell it to them?
6. How am I going to get traffic to my new site/product?
7. Are my traffic options viable? (i.e will they work - I remember building a site and product at one point and after it was all said and done, traffic avenues that I expected to be open to me (google ppc and some other sources) wouldn't touch my site without some heavy spending)
8. If running a blogs, authority sites, & email lists: What type of content schedule will I have? Can I write it all or do I need help? Does my niche have enough depth for me to write years worth of stuff?
9. What are my deadlines for the items in my business plan? (A business plan w/o deadlines is meaningless)


Those are just some off the top of head. Ask yourself lots of questions to save you headaches down the road. Knowing the answers to questions relating to your business will tell you what type of WP theme will best meet the needs of your business and what other tools/knowledge you may need.

Preparation is just as important as action, in my opinion.

First give some time to yourself. Don't take any hasty decision right now. Internet marketing can be so profitable but it needs some patience and some solid plans. All the best dude.

Sad to hear this, but I guess that is life...you need to move on...we all do. All the best.

Sorry for your loss as well Zach and I'm sure picking up the pieces could be a pain in the....I'd say a nice break to gather your self and plans as mentioned as well. Cool you have your ideas commin along and settiing yourself up for the comeup. Like Pac said: Plan, Plot, Strategize.. Goodluck though!

You want to make $20.000 a month...then leave the warrior forum LOL

Dude get a job. IM is a business, not easy money.

I can recommend you some good dating sites and a free guide on how to increase your chance in getting a date online. pm me if interested

Its her loss, not yours, focus on IM and business. Time will heal you.

I never know what to say when someone goes through a separation or a divorce. Sometimes I say, "Sorry to hear that", and the reality is in most cases, I should be saying, "Congratulations!".

The reason being, is most relationships end for a reason. And once things sour, and you get over the ending, you get to find out who you really are again and are able to see clearly again and can focus and move forward.

Good luck on your endeavours. This may be the best thing that ever happened to you.

My girlfriend left me too when I was doing IM. She did also run away with another guy.

But when the money began to roll in and the rumor began to spread, she wanted me back... But I didn't take her back because now I had the chance to bang any chick I wanted.

Think forward dude. There is 3.5 billion girls in the world. And when the money begin to roll into your bank account, then start to date. Don't let a girl come between you and Internet Marketing. That's the rule #1.


Just my two cents,

Hey Zach,

What a sad story.
Don't let emotion go over your mind.
Take a deep breath first and try to think twice on how to engage in Internet World.
You must gone through a lot of research about internet marketing.
There are no overnight success in internet marketing.
It would really take you time to be successful in IM.
Just be patient and consistent.

I know you can make it.

All the best,
Justin Durano

I wish making 20k a month was easy
You don't even know how to install wordpress and want to make 20k?
Search on yotube and find "how to install wordpress" and do some on-site and off-site seo?

Good luck

I am praying for you right now. Take care OP.
