Thanks everyone

First thing i would advise is to change your title.
Your title is like a call to action for scammers, your inbox is going to fill up faster
than Best Buy on black Friday...

At least you have an idea of what you want,just start building on it.
The beautiful side is that you have enough money to work on that.Look for experts to advise further on the same.
I like your spirit of wanting to independent rather being dependent on you parents.
Cheers!

hmmm..

As a newbie the first thing you need to get is that what you're talking about is setting up a business.

As a rule, in order for a business to make money, you need to sell stuff for less than you pay for it whether it be traffic or inventory/start up costs.

In order for your business to become successful you need to be providing some form of value to the marketplace. Ideally your product is worth more to your customers than the money they give you!

Find stuff to sell and then find people to buy it it's that simple.

What are you thinking about doing in IM?

You have meney? Well, there re a lot of option to spend it right way.....

1. You have already spending money for 2 course.
2. Start buying more....
3. Bla Bla Bla

Lets come to the point....
When you say you have money to spend that means you are willing to buy something that will not work. A lot of people will influence you to buy something or to do something as they know you have money.

But it can not be a solution. IM is something that can not depend on investing money other than it depends on making website. Start making a website. try to monetize it. It is the basic you need to learn first.

So don't spend your time with those course. I think you better should start thinking about it.

Well said mate, I think you've got the right idea! Part of who you are is who you surround yourself with most definitely!

How about this...

What are you good at?

What interested you in what you've seen so far?

And what kind of computer / internet skills do you have right now?

Heya Barind23,

Do you intend to build from scratch and operate a long term sustainable, scalable business, or just generate decent monthly income from a marketing investment venture until you start out with your long term career (I assume after you graduate from your chosen university studies)?

Ansering the question above will nicely put things in perspective, specifically in terms of your commitment to build your financial portfolio by initially using your available time, by establishing sustainable income for yourself, by growing your network, by accessing credit resources, by acquiring significant assets and by subsequently investing in other profitable ventures.

Now, eitherway, you must:

• List down your available resources. Specialized knowledge in certain industries. Significant skills in related subject areas. Real world authority expertise in relevant niches. Substantial experience that associated markets can relate to. Time. Money. Contacts in private and public institutions and communities. Next:

• Pinpoint urgent problem areas and immediate needs in those industries, subject areas, niches and markets that you can solve and satisfy with your available resources. Then:

• Choose between catering to players in B2B (Business to Business) markets, or to buyers in B2C (Business to Consumer) markets across your target industries. Next:

• Choose between becoming a creator of innovative technologies, products, services and solutions for your chosen markets (B2B or B2C), or becoming an affiliate/distributor/retailer/wholesaler with something unique to offer the target consumer markets (B2B or B2C markets) of these creators. Then:

• Formulate value added propositions. Combine your available resources and develop a set of solutions for those problem areas and needs that can't be found elsewhere. Now:

• Familiarize yourself with SWOT. List down your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats as someone who's trying to establish a business that'll be offering unique solutions for the specific problem areas and needs of specific markets in specific niches under specific subject areas covered by specific industries where you have specialized knowledge, significant skills, real world authority expertise, substantial experience, enough time, enough money and good network resources. At this point:

• Integrate the right PPTs into the backend and frontend systems of your business development methods, production strategies, marketing campaign techniques and sales tactics. This means:

*** PPT. Hire the right People. Formulate the right Processes. Implement the right Technologies. And:

*** MSTT. Learn fundamental Methods, then effective Strategies, then efficient techniques, then results-oriented Tactics that are most appropriate for hitting the target projections of your business or marketing investment venture...

Wow, really. You bought a bunch of over hyped WSO's promising you the world and all of a sudden 99% of WSO's are complete bs?

Really?

What you really mean is 99% of the WSO's YOU chose to purchase are complete BS. That's because you are an opportunity seeker buying WSO's with ridiculous claims and promises. What do you really expect?

But to sum up all products based on your own poor buying decisions is just not right. It's like me saying 99% of beginners are just lazy sods who blame their lack of success on everyone and everything else. (Although that would probably be much closer to the truth).

Wow you figured out that most WSO's are B.S in 2 weeks good for you buddy most people dont figure that out for at least a year. But what I would recommend for you is to wait for the coaching programs to start before jumping into anything. You should try and focus on one thing and if your coaching programs are good they should guide you to the steps that you need to take. Now I notice that you joined 2 coaching programs I think you should have only joined one because sometimes being a part of two different ones can confuse the heck out of you. Hope you succeed!

You are doing the right thing to find coaching. I prefer to find those I can call a mentor. Some one or a few that I can count on for specific needs that I encounter in IM.

When I want to set up the techie stuff I have my favorite geek mentors. When I want to get an honest product review I have my favorite person. Some mentors I have paid for their advice while others are informally my mentors. It is important to know what you desire to pick those whom you will allow to influence your future in IM.

Wish you the best

Just read through this forum. Identify the various ways of making money online (list them down) Do research on every one of them and make a decision on which ones you think are best for you (or match your personality). After you identify one method then start at it. Learn the skills you need to. This will make coaching so much easier since you already know what you want.

Go out and "do stupid stuff like you normally do all summer" instead of staying inside and doing stupid stuff

Clarity is a HUGE part of IM success. I hope this post brings some clarity. It's so simple when you know it -- and darn difficult when you don't! I owe my mentors a world of thanks for bringing this clarity.

IM is actually pretty simple: you can sell only one of two things:

1. Products
2. Services

That's it!

And selling products or services online happens in the same basic way for everyone, no matter what they're selling:

Traffic > Opt-in page > Autoresponder series (or e-zine) > Sales page

That's it! It's just that simple. (We IMers tend to overcomplicate things.)

But no matter what your niche is, or whether you're selling a product or a service, do you know what your business model is?

A business model is the framework or skeleton of your business. Essentially there are three types of online business models:

1. Membership-based model

A membership-based business model allows you to build a community of people (your members) who are as passionate about your subject as you are. Your membership fees can be monthly or annual, but either way, you're building recurring, passive income.

There are a lot of resources and information out there to help you build a membership-based business if you're interested in doing this.

2. Product-based model

Selling products allows you to maximize your time and effort by selling items over and over again. This can be hard goods or it can be information products. Information marketing is it's own business model under the product-based model. Information marketing allows you to take your brain to the bank by creating a product ONCE based on what you know and selling it over and over again.

Affiliate marketing falls under both models. You can choose to market either products or services as an affiliate.

3. Service-based model

Selling services can be great for 1) generating quick cash (as in the case of article writing or video producing) and 2) establishing your expertise and getting testimonials.

However, in the long run, your goal should be to offer services at a PREMIUM. The biggest advantage of IM is LEVERAGE. You're able to leverage your time, money and expertise exponentially online. We all have just 24 hours each day. Time to get ruthless about what you expect for those hours you spend in IM each day. Expect more of yourself and more from your business friends, clients, partners, etc.

What results are you getting for those hours you spend online each day? Ultimately, your services should be at the bottom of your funnel and cost the most since they involve your time and personal attention. (We all have a limited amount of time each day.)

The fun (and confusion) comes in with all of the endless mix-and-match possibilities of the above models. If you're just starting or still struggling to make money, keep it simple:

Pick just ONE!

1. Pick ONE niche. (Something you're interested in and know something about.)

2. Pick ONE target market for your product or service. (Who will buy what you're offering? The more specific you are, the more you narrow it down, the more successful you'll be.)

3. Pick ONE business model.

Now that you're clear about what business you're in, FOCUS! (And stop buying any info not related to your niche and target market, period!)

F -- Follow
O -- One
C -- Course
U -- Until
S -- Successful

And remember: build a list, Build a List, BUILD A LIST!

In IM, it's easy to put the cart before the horse. Take a deep breath, step back and consider what type of business you REALLY want. Don't worry about getting traffic or buying that expensive traffic product until you know 1) what your business model is, 2) what niche you're in and 3) WHO your target market is!

Successful business people will tell you that MARKETING is more than half the effort that's needed for success anyway. So pick a niche, target market and business model. Then spend most of your time and effort marketing it.

If you DON'T have a solid plan or system, THAT'S when it's hard. A good system will shave YEARS (and save you big $$$) off of your learning curve

That's why I recommend investing in at least one good, comprehensive IM course (or mentor who will give you such a system) instead of jumping from one $37 e-book to the next. A lot of people here complain about not being able to make any money. But neither are they willing to invest in their business. (Buying a random bunch of $37 e-books doesn't count.)

The best thing I ever did was invest in a comprehensive IM course aimed at REAL business owners, not just other IM wannabes. Yes it was $1500. (It's no longer available.) But it was truly some of the best A-Z IM info I ever bought. Everything else I've learned (from the $37 e-books) since has simply been plugged into this system.

Get a solid plan or system and then work the plan!

Hope this helps!

So what type of coaching that you're in? With you're just started 2 weeks ago and decided to jump on a coaching program, I think it's not the best decision to hire a coach right away.. You need to really get the basic first and decide what type methods that you want to focus.. Just my opinion though.

Well, you can do that, if you think you can differentiate between a website that has potential and a useless one.

Start with affiliate marketing. There are a hundreds of different methods (free ones too) in which you can promote a product.

This forum, especially war room has a lot of resources and tutorials on those methods, so spend time reading this forum.

You can direct the traffic you generate from your traffic methods to your site (which will have a ton of quality content and your affiliate links) or a squeeze page from which you'll build your list.

If you are going down the list building road, check out the dotcom secret x or im john chow products (depending on your budget). They are step by step programs that teach you everything you need to know on the subject.

Spend your money carefully now. There are certain things toy absolutely need, like a domain, hosting, autoresponder etc. So, spend your money on those first.

Hope that helped.

I wish I started learning html from day 1..As soon as I started learning about tech stuff, product and membership site ideas became more vivid to me. When you get into html, you can start building squeeze pages <----list building. Later into some programming.

You can then sell your skills on elance and there is always jobs on CL. People pay top dollar for this. I know people may argue that they could hire a programmer for 10 bucks an hour on odesk or something but believe me just as many people will pay you 30-50 bucks an hour to hire an english speaking person to do these jobs.

Hi

I think you should get in an online marketing academy asap,these days you have so many people trying to tell you this and that while trying to sell you their product,in warrior forum you can learn so much,so many topics about everything regarding online marketing

Hi,

Keep reading the Warrior Forum and you will learn from those who have experience. Honestly, everything you need to know is here once you decide what kind of business you want to build. Just search each topic you want to learn about and read, read, read. ;>)

I suggest going to the WSO section and getting a popular WSO with good reviews on a topic you like.

Then take action UNTIL YOU SUCCEED.. Don't buy anything else until you succeed.
