[HELP] Where to spend my first online earning?

34 replies
Most of the warriors here, are more experienced in IM than my age even. For, the same reason, I am here to ask for an advice. I started out last month, and have earned $50 so far, which isn't much, but it's just a start. I don't want to spend these bucks, on buying some X-Box game or any other thing. I have been following the Warrior Forum, from quite sometime now, so I know, I'll get some straight helpful answers here.

Where should I spend these 50 Dollars?

About My Planned Strategies:

I am looking forward to entering into promoting some email submits. I was accepted into Peerfly, CPAWay and LeadKitchen. These are the only networks I applied to, since they had a lot of email/zip submits.

What I'm Looking For?

Since, I have some knowledge about the Post Penguin/Panda Update of Google, and the near death of some automation software including Article Submission Software etc.

I want to spend this amount on getting some automation software, that works well with email/zip submits. I want to buy it, in this range, i.e; $50, as you already know I'm low on budget.

Why Do I Want Automation Software?

I'm a full time student. And, don't have much time, to do the manual work, neither can I hire people at this stage, considering I'm starting from scratch. I know, a lot of people would advise me to go for PPC/CPM etc, but, I don't think I have the right knowledge or expertise to scale that method up. I'm a NOOB.

P.S. And, I don't want to invest in WSO EBooks.

And, I do have a hosting plan and just need to buy a domain, so I pretty much have $50 with me, full.

Regards.

    You can invest them in the purchase of a domain that has at least 2 years or in hosting.

        My advice would be to forget the automation software and start building a list of prospects in a profitable niche in which you also have an interest.

        In the beginning, any money you make should be put back into advertising (solo ads, banners, ezine ads, etc. depending on your niche) to grow your list.

          I'm looking into list building too. I just want to know, if email lists work well with the email/zip submits?

          Thank you all for the opinions.

    You sound exactly like me 3 years ago. I was (still am) a full time student, and didn't really have time, and wanted automation software. Dealt with CPA stuff.

    Here's my advice, after 3 years of doing this:

    DO NOT GET AUTOMATION SOFTWARE

    There are 3 things you need to focus on. Only 3 things. Everything else is a distraction.

    1. Provide value and help people. If you do not do this, the money will not come. Period.
    2. Learn how to persuade. That means copywriting, psychology, etc. Read "web copy that sells" and "influence" as a starting point
    3. Learn how to drive traffic. read "The ultimate guide to facebook advertising"

    That is it. Spend your $50 on those books. You might get a few bucks from the automation stuff, but do you really want to just be making like $100/mo if that? Invest for the long term.

      I will definitely check those EBooks that you mentioned.

      I was just curious to know, what marketing strategy should I work on except those mentioned in my first post, to promote email submits. Since, I am a core science student, I just get a few hours a day to utilize, that is why I'm looking to autopilot stuff. Although, I do realize that Google doesn't really like the automated stuff.

          Yes, I intend to invest into building my business online for like an year, and then, start spending it. I don't have, by the grace of God, any financial pressures, my parents are looking after me and my education. I just want to do it, for the sake of getting an extra income.

        How about paid traffic? These guys, selling 10,000 unique visitors for $12, are they legit? I mean, does that traffic convert?

          What do YOU think? You've obviously got a LOT to learn about IM.

            I do agree, I do have a LOT to learn in IM.

            For the same reason, I'm asking the question. I'm sorry, but I have been disappointed by the response, as a newbie I have received in the WF. Rather than people advising where should I invest my money on, they're just testing my patience.

            Okay, I admit, you all know a LOT about IM than I do, but if you can't answer some questions of a newbie in the right way, than you guys shouldn't call yourself IM Gurus.

            A GURU = Teacher.

            Again, sorry if, my words weren't appropriate.

    Automation software? Never rely on such a thing. You're better off treating yourself to a "first sale" dinner to celebrate your beginning of making money online.

    P.S. Article submission software sucks... so do article spinners.

      I totally agree.

      Take that $50 and enjoy it. Buy yourself something and feel good about it.

      Also make sure to tithe 10% of it to charity.

    If you want your investment to go further then look at investing in building a targeted list of subscribers and start by promoting affiliate products.

    Aim to promote high quality products though that can help your list and not just any old trash.

    Create a FREE gift you can give away, set up a basic hosting package, invest in an autoresponder service and away you go!

    Feel free to download the list building report below to get started "SUPER FAST"!!!!

    Hope this can help you to invest wisely and avoid doing what the Gurus tell you to do and not exactly what they do to make fantastic financial incomes online.

    All the best my friend and remember that "pain is temporary; quitting is forever"!!!

      Thank you so much. I have already subscribed for the List Building guide of yours. I will definitely check it out. And, great advice. I am currently looking for a long term niche, and then Email List Building will be my No # 1 priority.

    I suggest a domain, cheap hosting for starters. Then spend some time reading on how to do keyword research and seo.

    Roll it back into your business. Banner ads, pop under ads, solo ads(careful with this one). Become a war room member for the use of a signature, and the cool stuff you find there.

    Save for a good coach and mentor so you can really up those dollars. There is so little yet soooooo much you can do with the first $50 to turn it into the next $50

    yeah put it back into your online business man. If you're a student, I'm assuming you live at home or your expenses are nil, then put all your profits back into the biz to scale it up.
