What do you suggest me to do?

11 replies
I need a bit of suggestions. Before you suggest me anything, here is a bit of information about myself:

I started making money online on 2008, back then I was around 18 year old. My first earnings came from PTC sites and forum postings, later on I have tried HYIP sites, blogging and sports betting.

I was primarily trying to earn from PTC, forum posting, HYIP and sports betting for the last 5 years. The outcomes have been disappointing, I have never earned more than $300 in any month.


I have opened a few blogs/sites but I could not make any money. I have deleted all of my sites.

So what do you suggest me to do, in order to earn $3k a month?

Should I continue with forum posting and PTC sites, or should I move on to something bigger? If something bigger, what are some of the options I can try?

    If you've been marketing since 2008, then you've probably picked up some skills and knowledge that are of value to some people. Turn this knowledge into an eBook or video tutorial, and then offer this on a squeeze for for free in exchange for opting into your mailing list.
    Drive traffic to your squeeze page using PPC and SEO. Send informative emails to your list and eventually begin marketing them products (I recommend picking up some niche-related products on ClickBank) - don't forget to keep sending them content which is useful and engaging.
    Having a list will give your online earnings a bit of persistence, and should eventually become the center of your marketing ventures.
    Good luck!

      I agree,

      I could be wrong but it doesn't sound like you have been building a list?? With all you have learned over the years there has to be a product in there! My advice would also be to create a product in your niche on the knowledge you have built up and then use it to build a list. Give it away as a free incentive for people to opt into your list, then start interacting with that list to gain trust and build a relationship with them.

      If you don't have a blog, start one as this is a key factor in branding yourself and in building the relationship with your list. A squeeze page will get you the opt ins but at the end of the day its just a static web page whereas your blog is something you can really use effectively to interact with your subscribers.

      Then you can start and offer other related products that fit in with your free giveaway. For example if your free give away was about how to set up a blog, your paid offer could be a complete "done for you" blog set up.

      Crude example I know but you get the gist! Hope that's been of some help.

      Kind Regards,

    If you've had success making money before, you can do it again. 99% of people fail at earning their first dollar online.

    Do you do actual sports betting or you have a website on the subject?

    Not so much now but in the past I made a lot of money from matched betting, arb'ing and risk free bets. I think for a lot of people it's still quite profitable.

    Out of all those, the only feasible method worth doing is forum posting - and the results there vary from niche to niche.

    Study the warrior forum (spend 15-60 days going through posts). In time you will find which process you should follow to make your goal.

    You will also find posts and posters that have excellent advice, others not so excellent. In time you will gain the experience to figure out which method suits your soul and also to distinguish the fine from the fluff.

    Ditch the ptc, especially if it's clearly bringing you next to nothing.

  • Bump.

    Nearly 8 months have passed since I created this thread. I have done brainstorming over the last few months and came up with a PLR image business idea. I have decided to create my own PLR image site, very similar to istockphoto.com. The photos will be taken by me and my friends, so there will be no copyright issues.

    I am planning to charge 50% less of what istockphoto.com is charging. In other words, I will try to provide people with cheaper PLR images.

    Do you think this strategy will work? Any advice, suggestion, or comment?

    I would highly recommend going with something you are passionate about, the image thing could work, but i mean there are 1000's sites competing against istockphotos?
    I started out with offering web design, seo services to local businesses and building up recurring income with the seo.. I then had enough money to start funding my own ventures which provide a solid cashflow that allows me to live comfortably... I highly recommend reading 4hour work week by tim ferris
