Ever notice that people who spend money on WSO, memberships and courses, are always complaining about being broke and not making any money ?

They should have bought ASSETS instead.

This is impossible to answer, because we don't know anything about your work habits or your IQ, for that matter. I am sure you are a smart guy and consider yourself a hard worker, but do you have the entrepreneurial bug that is needed?

Asking if IM is able to pay for college is like asking if being a real estate agent will make you a million dollars. Some realtors make millions, while others need to get part time jobs just to eat.

With that being said, you know the Internet provides a way to make more than enough to pay for tuition. The question is, will you make it?

Only you can answer this.

Only one way I can think of is internet marketing is my solution am I correct or wrong? I would love to hear your ideas and collabrate with them.

Online marketing could easily pay for a college education -- the question you have to ask yourself is this: can you make enough from it to pay for your education?

I hate to say it, but unless you're the exception to the rule, you're not going to be able to pay for college (while you're still young that is) by getting into this business now and excepting significant returns now.

You might think the military is a waste of time but doing a three or four year term would not only pay for your college (and put money in your pocket), that discharge paper (DD-214) that you get when your service is completed is the gift that will keep giving throughout your life. The benefits are enormous.

Like I said, unless you're going to be making huge bucks in the near future, I wouldn't bet that IM will pay for your college. Worse case scenario you're going to be 21, 22, 23 or older still sitting at home trying to make that work when had you say, for example, joined the military, you'd be all done and eons ahead by the time you were 23 or so.

Otherwise, consider getting a Pell Grant that would pay most (if not all) of a community college tour. While you're there, get a job and do IM on the side as well.

Build something up.

Then after two years of community college you MIGHT have enough money from your normal job and IM (or just from IM) to transfer to a good four year school and get a degree from that school.

The key is being REALISTIC.

Don't bet your future on a pipe dream. Hedge your bets!

Thanks

I don't think the OP has revealed what money he has earned? Unless you count the 68 cents he's claimed in his signature space?

While the 68 cents is technically "earned" money, Google hasn't paid that out yet and don't until the OP earns another $99.32 -- which might be a long, long way off.

I agree, it would be foolish to think he cannot earn more money after he has proven he can earn the 68 cents...

But it would also be foolish to think anybody could guarantee their way to earning enough money for college, too.

Personally, and that's just me, I wouldn't bet my future on the assumption that any particular business venture is going to pay for something that I need. At least not at the life stage where the OP is right now...

Sure you can check out:

Information Technology (IT) Jobs | GoArmy.com

Many of these jobs are directly transferable to civilian jobs later on when you would get out.

Plus a lot of these jobs (if you qualify) have $15,000 to $30,000 sign on bonuses that's paid out to you as soon as you finish training - plus your salary which could be anywhere from $2,500 to $3,000 per month starting out with no rent to worry about, paid meals, free medical plus of course college paid for (think the limit now is $65,000 - more than enough for a state university considering there's Pell Grants and other veterans' programs for this).

But that's just an idea - you'll have to find your own path. Like when do you want to start school? Will you delay school for a few years to earn money in the IM world? Stuff like this makes a difference to your overall plan.

I know lots of people that have made easy money, and lots that have worked HARD and harder for their money... Trust me, easy money may come, but it also goes... quickly. If you work hard for your money, you gain a respect for hard work, and ultimately will be able to continue to be successful.

Hi,

Yes and No...is it possible? Absolutely. Internet Marketing put me through college at one of the most expensive schools in the country. But it's like ANY business. There are no guarantees.

But the real answer is....TRY IT AND SEE!

There's nothing stopping you from starting an online business tonight. Work on it for the rest of the week...over the weekend. Can you make any money at it?

You will know very quickly if you have what it takes...

Of course you can..you just have to actually take action asap. It doesn't happen overnight..it's building a business. So as you learn IM, you have to start taking action and eventually, you'll strike IM gold and be able to pay for college

Or if you make enough..who needs college

The internet is just another medium that allows you to serve people. So its not IM in and of itself that will pay for your fees. If you can align yourself with what what a specific group of people (your target prospects) want, then sure it can pay for what you want.

It's knowing your target and empathizing (the best weapon you can have), then selling what they want to them that will bring you money.

You've been gone for awhile; but I still remember you and your situation. Unless you've changed your mindset/work habits immensely, you aren't paying for college with earnings from this industry.

A look back at flatbro94

So IDK, if you learned focus, stopped chasing dreams, and dropped the self-defeatist attitude you might be able to make something out of this eventually. I wouldn't hedge my bets on you.

Use that as advice or motivation, your call.

I think I will joesph. Funny thing is I have saved up over 552 dollars for a car xD still have no luck finding a car, but eh still have to save more right and work for something that you want. Like me I want a car so bad so I am working my butt of to get one. I guess that could be the same scenario towards internet marketing. ( P.S. I would mind showing you my bank account for the car savings ) I use to spend alot of money, but until one day something just hit me. I want a car and I wanted it bad so I started to save up money and just bring lunch to school. I was never giving up on what I wanted. I want a car and I will get it!

Oh flatbro94, I've changed my mind!

I suggest an immediate enlistment into either the Air Force or U.S. Army (Marines might be a bit too extreme for you and as for the Navy? Who wants to be called "seaman" for a year until you're promoted?).

This WILL give you the triple virtue traits of commitment, follow-through, and focus that might be lacking now...

Right now I have $552 and I want to reach $2500 to $3000! I know it will be forever, but if you actually think about it. It will be good in the long run because I know I got what I wanted

I'm going to go with GMD's amended advice here and recommend that you bump enlistment way up on your list. Your current mindset isn't built for this kind of thing. The military can help instill the values that you need if you buy in.

If you choose to stick with internet business I don't forsee a favorable outcome, unfortunately.

I have to agree with this. People are willing to dish out advice to a point, then must step back and let that person act. Or not act.

I've been pretty vocal around here writing that IM is NOT for everyone. Everybody can't be a good car salesman or a good doctor or a good policeman. There is NO profession that's for "everybody".

So why should IM be the same? It's NOT for everybody. A good IMer has both the mindset and the ideas to be a self-starter. Above all discipline is required.

Discipline to: start what you finish, seek answers and solutions independently, keep a schedule even if you're working from home, sticking with a plan and adjusting that plan for success as circumstances change, etc.

Kid, if you've been doing this since AT LEAST June and you're still nowhere with it, then where will you be in 6 more months? Or 1 more year? Still dreaming and posting here getting yourself hyped up and then putting off your success for yet another day.

True story:

When I was living in Vegas (and a very young man) I ended up at the recruiting station on E. Sahara Ave.

Walked in.

Peeked in the Air Force office and is was packed full. Well I wanted results now, so I went to the next room.

It was the Navy. And yeah, didn't want to wear bell bottoms or be seaman, so I went to the next office.

It was the Marines. I sh*t you not, this GIANT man with a vein bulging out of his forehead screamed at me, "Are you man enough to be a Marine?" (I don't think the OP is man enough either for them LOL)

I told him no... and went to the Army part where there were three recruiters there with their feet up on the desk ready to service their next client! So I ended up with that fine organization!

I wasn't man enough either lol. I remember respecting the hell out of them as a kid, did Marine Corps ROTC my freshman year of school, and realized then that I couldn't make a life out of this.

Listen, you're posting. You're participating and you're trying. So that goes a long way. Nobody is trying to take that away from you.

But education is important. Let's take the car situation for example, okay?

If you had a real job at this point guess what? You'd have your car right now. You could have put the $552 you have in cash down and financed the rest of the car purchase (probably at a higher rate but who cares about that right now)...you'd have the car.

OR...

Let's say you you got a d.b.a. certificate and organized all of your IM activities into a sole proprietorship type of organization. Then you did that for a year -- keeping all proof of income -- and guess what? You might still qualify to buy a car without having to save the full (cash option) amount.

OR...

If you find it difficult to finish your own projects at this point, why not try to get paid to design sites / pages/ etc. for clients? Maybe having to do the work for somebody else might motivate you to finish what you start...and you'd get paid?

I read you have one or two official computing certifications? Why not post on Craigslist and try to get some local repair jobs? That could easily turn into a business right there.

FOR ME, the key to making money was NOT doing one niche, I have my fingers in a lot of pies. I make a good amount from each niche / idea I get involved in. I call in my "brick wall of income":

Build income brick-by-brick:

1. make a few hundred in adsense each month.

2. make a few hundred fixing computers each month.

3. make a few hundred with a gaming website or two...

Eventually, you put all your income bricks together and find that you have one big income.

I'll believe it when I see it. Don't take this the wrong way, but you're kind of just repeating what you were saying in June: "I'm ready to put in the work required to make this successful!"

I will echo what Joe has already said. I remember your posts from when you were here before. You had several good ideas but you quickly abandoned them. If you pick one thing and stick with it then you can pay for a car or college or whatever you choose to buy. But if you keep jumping from one thing to another you'll be stuck with your .68.

Plenty of us can (and do) pay for our education with our IM earnings. Doesn't mean that the OP can, and given what he has provided to us in terms of work ethic, personality, etc. he is currently not in the position or of the mindset required to run a business.

You do not know the OP nor what's going on in his life.
Just because you read a few posts explaining his situation
Does not qualify you to make that conclusion.

The OP has provided more than enough to make a very educated inference, which you are more than welcome to disagree with. Your opinion (as always) will continue to be ignored though, so if you came hoping to reignite last night's fun you will unfortunately be left wanting :rolleyes:.

Then, by your logic, nobody can make a conclusion regarding his imminent success either.

Now, I've take the time to read not only this thread but all of the other threads to which the OP was involved. I've read the lines as well as between-the-lines regarding what the OP has written -- regardless of the logic of it, I would NOT bet he will be successful in this business...not just yet or perhaps anywhere in the near future.

The fact remains:

Success is possible FOR ALL PEOPLE.

Success within a certain profession IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR ALL PEOPLE.

So, the question remains, can the OP find success with internet marketing? Since joining in June 2011 the OP has shown that he, indeed, cannot be successful.

It's taking what you've done and multiplying the time you've been doing it. And 12 months x zero still equals ZERO.

Simply put, the OP CAN succeed (at what is the debate). However, at this point, it's up to him to do it on his own because there's only so much advice that can be given and the OP has shown in the past that he is unwilling or unable to translate good advice into something actionable.

He's got to log off the forums -- or at least just stick to reading posts and learning -- and show himself the work and the money.

Thanks

Of course you can use IM to help pay off your college debt. You just need to make out a plan, stick with it, and work at it until you start making money. Good luck and that's a great idea.

It can, if you establish your IN business at least a year before you got to college. I started to get into IM when I was 16, and it took me 3 years before I made anything. There are some exceptions though.

Did you start with analysis paralysis? The bad thing is that most people start their businesses (when there young) by investing in a domain or web hosting...

None of which are needed.... if you start by spending an hour writing an article for a client, you'll make money the first week...

You, like many of us, lack discipline, courage, action, clear thinking, confidence, responsibility, maturity, planning, etc. This is based on your many posts and threads that many of us tried to help give you a helping hand.

I think you can pay for anything you want with an online business but unless you start to develop character traits like those above I think you will continue to have a hard time.

Being in the service will help you develop some of those traits to some degree.

Maybe something you should consider is to join the service, earn an income, get college paid for, ingrain these traits and habits, and build an online business on the side.

Hey OP,

I started my internet business at the age of 16, back in 1996 when very few people even had a computer, let alone access to the web. I'm now 32. Things have obviously changed dramatically during that time, but yet one thing has remained the same: The need for good, reliable service.

Did my business pay for college entirely? It certainly helped. But the big thing was staying committed. It's so easy to be tempted to put stuff off when you're cramming for finals, or it's Friday night and you want to go hang out with friends. I'm not saying you should be a recluse, but remember your obligations to your business, your customers and yourself. The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step

To OP, since you are here that means that you are ready to learn and earn online. So yes, you can earn from IM. Many members of this forum make really nice money from IM and they prooved its possible. I do know only basics of IM, but do know everything needed for making good money from trading with domain names and my incomes are great. I finished college but my monthly earnings from domaining would be enough to pay the whole year of college and I would still have for bills and entertainment. You should find your niche and stick to it. Be good in it and you will be able to pay your college and buy a car. There is money online.

Thanks

Well I figured why not use one of my old domains that I have and use Techg33k that I have and start a business with that domain. I do love computers so why not you know?. I looked at chris duckers 7 day free training for business. I am going to provide helpful information first, then try to sell something at the end. Maybe even start a list if possible, if it suits the website I am going to create.

It absolutely can, but I'd recommend working on your IM before starting in school, because it can take a lot of time to build enough of an income to save up for something like that. If you're in school and wanting to pay for it as well, you'll end up working a lot of 18 hour days.

If I could go back to school I would not think twice. I believe that you should spent all your time in school and just focus on that. IM will take a few years to get started and need 10 to 15 hours days over many years to see an income. Having a real education is much more important.

Only one way I can think of is internet marketing is my solution am I correct or wrong? I would love to hear your ideas and collabrate with them.

Anything is possible. Find a group of like minded, people like yourself on skype or find a mentor. Some people work full-time jobs and still devote time to their IM/business and do well...I see no difference for your situation.

The 2 things that can hold you back:
Time - Will you have enough time, with your studies to-- do a side business/IM?
Money - do you have money to invest, into your business?

Both of these can make or break your success. You must devote 2-4 hours at least for your business to work. Dreaming and thinking that IM will make you money with little - or- no effort is pure dreaming.

You must invest some money. Now -- you might now have some money right now, ask you folks for $100-$200 to invest into your business.

If you cannot get $100-$200, from mom-n-dad, then go to Ebay and sell some stuff. You can also write articles, for others and brush-up those english skills for college as well

If you do choose to write articles: Go to Sites like Fiverr: Graphics, marketing, fun and more online services for $5 or www.Elance.com and write articles for people and make some money-- to invest into your ***Long-Term*** business!

Investments:
A: Domain name ===> Godaddy/Namecheap
B: Autoresponder ====> Aweber/Getresponse
C: Warrior Forum ====> War Room

I highly suggest that you make those investment.
I highly suggest you join a skype group and have others help you. If you can afford it, find a mentor or invest into a WSO that offers mentoring.

You can make this work, it all depends on how bad you want it -- and what steps - or- directions you take, to run your business...

Look, I'm not going to be like some people and say that this is impossible to provide an answer for. If you have a little bit of money to invest (or a great service to provide so that you can generate some funds) it can be done. You just have to look into what interests you and think about how you could monetize it. I started out with a rented laptop (I'm on one now just to get back into the game) and ended up providing food for my kids for over 3 years. This was all done online by providing writing services and venturing into other arenas.

If you have any questions or just need a little bit of honest guidance, please get in touch.

Yes its possible. I dropped out of college when I started making $20,000 a month with affiliate and CPA marketing and I don't plan on returning.

Take a look at Vito Glazers, he started Affiliate Network | CPAtank and didnt spend 1 dime on college tuition (he didnt even go to college). All the resources you need to learn about how to make your first, $10,000 or even $1million are here online. We all make choices, we all are a victim of chance but you can change things for yourself if you work SMART. All you need to do to make it in this IM game is:

1) Find traffic
2) Find the highest Earning Per Click offer you can to drive said traffic to
3) Repeat

And for the super-affiliates that are very smart, (I call them the lazy middlemen lol), they outsource all the above and take a commission from all the affiliates working under them. NOW THAT IS THE VERY DEFINITION OF WORKING SMART AND NOT HARD!

Some people get lucky, some people make their own luck. You have to take risks, you will make mistakes. Your success is only measured by how you deal with those mistakes. I suggest you get into a CPA company and ask your affiliate manager what offer has the highest earnings per click, and what traffic source.

WORK SMART NOT HARD.

Thanks
