Internet Marketing have money to invest!!

You're a designer? That's awesome! Making money online basically is a mix up of marketing and design - which means you are 50% there already believe me! Now you'd go for the affiliate marketing (cpa) and media buying space - it's extremely profitable once you know how to harness it. Starting off could set you back $500 less - but with one campaign you could generate 4 figures! Pm me and i could give you the head start!

Hi Richard,

If I were you, I will invest in Aweber autoresponder for list building and email marketing and Mark Ling's AffiloBlueprint.

Of all the internet marketing courses, AffiloBlueprint is among the best as it teaches you from A to Z on

1. How to do market and keyword research

2. How to create high quality content to engage and turn readers into subscribers and customers

3. How to set up your first Wordpress site with both free Affilo web hosting and theme given to you as part of the course package.

4. How to drive targeted traffic using both free and paid methods.

5. Basics and fundamentals of building your email list and what emails to send to your subscribers.

Most importantly, it includes an additional module on what should you do if your site is not making you money even after you go through the videos and applied all the steps.

Because I am not allowed to put links in my post, you might want to PM me for additional details.

If you want to learn IM there's 2 ways you can go:

One is learn everything yourself like building a blog, sales funnel, building a list, developing a relationship with that list and connect them with either your own or affiliate offers.

Two is to join a system where the sales side is done for you (see my sig file) where all you do is drive traffic and let the sales process take care of itself.

Personally option 2 is better for me because i don't have the time or inclination to build all the above ( i have an offline business), however you may have time so if you do build everything described above you get a broader view of Internet marketing which you may find more satisfying and beneficial

Definitely, my advice is have a plan of action, then decide what route to take. If dig around here you will find the answers to all you're questions free of charge (if not pm me) don't go spending money on WSOs or products without having an idea of what you are going to do with it

Best wishes

PS Option B is to approach a guru and offer you're webdesign skills in return for being mentored

What do you want to do in internet marketing? Adsense? affiliate? sell your web designs? clickbank?

You could design sales pages and graphics packs and sell them to marketers, you could blog, you could do a number of things, most of which will not cost much. But you need to have some idea of what you want to do, to start with.
