I hope...

There are a lot of ways to make money in the gaming niche (assuming your username is a clue.) It's best if you have experience in something that you can turn into money.

Ok, first - I am very sorry.

I think its exactly the right thing for you, to start with IM.
If you tell me you have a lot of time and are a "newbie", I could recommend to go for a blog.

Building anything from scratch, even more if you are newbie, is HARD.
So learn some SEO basics like onpage SEO and offpage SEO, do some backlinks for your Blog, setup a cool Wordpress theme, and you are ready to go.

What you have to do now is to build. Dont even think about some money for the first 6 months.

What you have to do is writing 1-2 articles everyday ( more would be better ) and applying your SEO knowledge.

Learn about Keyword researching, and put every article on a chosen Keyword.

The result?

You will be posting articles everyday. After a few months you should have about 200 articles, of which about 10 should be Rank 1, if you've done everything properly.

After you get some serious traffic, like 5k visitors a month ( you could archieve this already after 2-3 months if posting articles every day ) you can think about money.


There are a few good ways for you like the standard Adsense or some other ways like affiliate.


But I would build first a cool blog with lots of articles ranking for keywords.

And believe me, if you could post everyday, and follow my post, you should be able to make about 100$ a day in a 6 months. ( As I did )

It sounds pretty easy right now, but you will see, posting everyday for 2-3 months without seeing any money is HARD. VERY HARD.
And thats exactly the reason why 99.5% of people here FAIL.

I wish you really all the best, and I wish, that you are the 0.5% who can MAKE it.

I believe in you.

Alternative medicine is making many miracles and surpassing traditional medicine in many ways. You should look for a natural treatment that can help you get rid of this health problem instead of simply accepting your destiny.

About making money online for a living, this is very hard in the beginning.

The best thing you can do is to seriously study internet marketing, without supposing that you already know enough. Read many posts in this forum.

Another good option is to become a War Room member. You will have access to various WSOs for free. The price is only $37. This is the best investment you can make.

You can start learning how to make money online into practice by creating Squidoo lenses and Hub pages. You will learn how to promote affiliate products, and you will also make money for creating lenses and hubs, even though in the beginning you will make only a few cents.

You will find free information online about how to create perfect Squidoo lenses and Hubs if you’ll look for it.

You can also create a free blogger blog and start posting articles about the topic of your preference, while promoting Amazon products.

In the beginning you should use these free options, so that you may learn how the internet works. Later you should create your website, paid Wordpress blog, and perhaps your own products.

Don’t think about using these free platforms forever with the intention to make money with them. Some people are making a lot of money with their Squidoo lenses and Hubs, but they can lose their work at any time and these platforms have many irritating rules, which keep changing all the time.

After learning how to make money online, you will use your lenses, hubs and your Blogger blog to drive traffic to your own pages.

I'd start a blog that relates to your hobby (wow).

Your youtube videos are great.

I would use the videos and blogs posts as a platform to make money.

You can build a nice following and share info with like minded people.

Think of your sales process. What you can offer and how you can help people. Often times people working from a dis-advantage can help other better than those who can't relate.

So how can you help people while helping yourself. Find your name, brand and voice. Once you have them. Promote. Free or paid whatever it takes. Just keep at it.

Sorry to hear about you illness.

Being a parent myself I can't imagine how hard that must be for you

IM is definatly the way to go and you will certainly do well with the attitude you have now

As some other Warriors suggested blogging, writing and selling services may be perfect for you. Just be sure to allow enough time when selling services that you don't get delayed or backed up with orders


Hope this helps and Good luck with your ventures

There are dozens of ways you can go, from blogging, to list building to product review sites, to niche directories to video marketing, to CPA, and affiliate marketing, e-commerce, and on and on. If you PM me, I will send you my book that I sell on Kindle that gives a whole bunch of business ideas. Who knows, one might work for you.
I'm actually in a somewhat similar situation, and make a full-time living online.

If there are other people will the same medical issue as you then you might be able to create a site / service / product around that...

If you are looking for a good free introduction to Internet Marketing I'd highly recommend Ed Dale's Challenge. It is a series of modules designed to introduce you to starting your own business and getting you to earning your first $1 online. Not a lot of money, I know, but it's a start and when I did it a few years back it was excellent training. Best part is that it's free! You can find this by searching for "ed dale challenge" on Google and clicking on one of the first links that comes up from that search.

I'd also suggest becoming a War Room member as Clever7 suggests. You just can't beat the price and you have access to so much information that will help you in your online business.

Come back to the boards often and read the various posts because you will find gold on this forum if you search hard enough.

Finally make sure to take action on what you learn for that is the only way you will succeed in this business, or any business for that matter.

Write articles or provide services for others on the side with the goal of getting enough money to get a bit stable and have the end goal of creating your own sites, products, etc. eventually.

As long as you are able to work hard when you can, you should be able to start building up a clientale if you do good work. Look around here and on Fiverr and see the types of services you can offer to others. There are plenty of writing sites where you can get going writing for others, as well.

Are you a WOW Player? If you are a big step up especially if you are a female (not to be sexist, but WOW male gamers love women players). Write a blog. Get traffic by word of mouth, marketing, mentioning your blog in in-game chats, whatever. Creative affiliate offers for tons of WoW products. You should be able to make $100-$200 daily pretty quickly. Learn WordPress, create good articles, bring dedicated users (maybe a FB page??), and see the affiliate sales go up!!
