I'm new to internet marketing

25 replies
Hi Everybody, I am new to internet marketing and would appreciate a little advice and a couple questions answered. Currently I have a decent job and provide a decent life for my family. I am looking for other ways to supplement my income though so I will be able to do some of the finer things in life and be able to take my family of four on nice vacations and such. I have run across a few Internet marketing sales pitches from Ewen Chia and Patrick Chan. I am a little worried of dropping to much $$ to purchase one of their programs and not knowing what I will get exactly. Like I said I am a complete newbie and have no experience building webpages or copywriting or anything of the sort. Do any of you know of a product that you have ordered or know for a fact is a quality product that I can trust to give me step by step tools to have a successful Internet marketing business. The ones I have seen are a turnkey system that say all you need to do is order the product and everything else will be taken care of. This seems to good to be true. Any advice would be immensely appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Crosbag,

    Welcome....

    There are actually hundreds of excellent products out there, but then again,
    hundreds of garbage....

    Just be aware that when you ask a question regarding this, many may PM
    you with affiliate links to products that "worked" for them. Always do your
    due diligence.

    To get a good overview of the market, I suggest you have a look at
    Internet Marketing Tips - Make Money Online with Eric Holmlund , that's where I started online. He has A-Z
    video lessons which will give you a good overview and understanding of
    the online market and ways to monetize it.

    There's some really good nuggets in his lessons, which are free by the way.

    Good luck man, I wish you a ton of success....

      Welcome Crosbag. First and foremost. Do not get sucked into peoples get rich quick offers. Things like "Find out how to make 1k by tomorrow" etc. I would advise you to do some research and pick something that interests you and that you generally enjoy. After that, use this forum and the power of the internet to pick up as much FREE advice as possible and form your own business from there. Personally, I will never buy an info product because I feel that it is a waste. I'd rather research and formulate my own business angle than attempt to recreate somebody else's. The big boy marketers who are making real money are not packaging their billion dollar business plans and selling it for $7, if they did, they wouldn't be billionaires.

      Just my two cents, but we all formulate our own strategies and mentalities when it comes to IM. Goodluck.

    There is no such thing as a magic button in IM you need to put in time and effort..

    I've been doing this job for 10 years and i've not seen anyone be sucessful without puttin in the time and effort

    I wrote this a few months back it might help put a perspective on things http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...l-time-im.html

    Your judgement is good. (That speaks highly for your long-term chances).

    The reality is that it's all about what skills you can acquire and develop, not about "what to buy to make it work".

    Take some time to understand your options. Try to find something that interests you or you have a particular skill in as this makes it easier. Once you decide on what you want to do, formulate a plan and stick to it.

    Good Luck.

    Mark.

    Crosbag,

    Welcome to WF & IM. What I suggest you do is DON'T spend your money just yet. Money isn't going to make you money. Instead, LEARN as much as you can about this and then make an informed decision. Don't rush this. Take your time. This forum is a great place to start learning.

    All the best!

    Anthony

    Firstly, you've been smart in coming here and posting that question!

    Think about your strengths, and interests. If you like teaching, discover how to create info products - that will be a life skill. Or look at the various affiliate programs and learn how to drive traffic through the many free pieces of advice you'll find on these threads...

    If you can afford the $97 for War Room, it's a no brainer IMHO

    There is a guy named David Boozer look him, and he has an training course from everything from setting up a domain, self-hosting, and SEO. His course is a little bit expensive but really worth the price, but there might be more people out their for a cheaper price.

    You can take a look online to compare prices of different people, and what they really offer...

    Crosbag,

    Welcome to the warriorforum. I started here myself and you will find many resources that can teach you about internet marketing. My experience is that you should find something you know you would enjoy, but will not take tons of time away from your family.

    I HIGHLY recommend the war room. It's a very low cost for the amount of HIGH QUALITY information you will receive that can help you understand better what it is you would like to do and further, what you would like to earn. Best of luck on your journey!

    Welcome to the Internet Marketing world. There are many opportunities online. What makes being a Netpreneur so cool is that it gives you flexibility. You can work from anywhere in the world at whatever time you like.

    With this in mind, the Internet has made conning newbies like you so easy. I remember seeing those almighty get-rich-quick products from that same guy (Ewen Chia) but they are the same thing (simple tips you will get without paying a dime.

    Even though you can quit your job and become a millionaire marketing online, it still demands hardwork, persistence, strong interest in what you do and a little bit of creativity.

    First, as a beginner, I will recommend you follow people whose results are visible to the world, not just seeing snapshot. People like Neil Patel of QuickSprout.com, Pat Flynn of smartpassiveincome.com.

    Consider visiting sites like Moz, searchengineland.com and learn their Beginner Guides. I don't believe you have to buy any information product before you can make money online.

    You have to watch what these people are doing and how they're doing it for some months. Don't just jump into anything until you've learned enough.

    I wish you success. WarriorForum is a great place for finding mentors. Lots of good individuals around here.

    Hi Crosbag,

    the internet marketing is not easy, and you can't learn everything with one product or one ebook, it can be useful to understand in general terms of what works and what does not, we must learn from those who do it for years, but then put it into practice and see what works best for us. There are some strategies that i think are essential, which allowed me to start, then you must find your way, when you understand how to get started :-)

    You're on the right track, Crosbag, when you say "This seems to good to be true" It generally is.

    Follow the marketers who can give you the basics without trying to sell you a Magic Pill, and who consistently note that an Online Business - like ANY business - does take a bit of work.

    I advise you take time to research everything about making money online and then list down all possible options available.

    There are tons of products out there and a lot of them work great but still you need to know that these products will only show and teach you how things are done. Still you need to work hard, invest some time and money to really pull things together for you.

    Good luck!

    In IM there are a lot of ways to make money but first you should know your strong points
    how much time you can spend on IM weekly then chose one or two topics (releated)
    and study all you can about them you can get a lot of information here on WF ( even better
    if you join the WAR ROOM ) . then you can think of doing some thing to make money like
    if you are good at programming take a look at the latest WP Plugins/Software for sale on
    WF or JVZOO or CLICKBANK etc and improve them by adding some value to it and sell them
    at a lower cost. IM is very big if you get one shot correctly that itself can make you a millionaire
    and free from 9 to 5 RATE RACE.

    If I were a newbie, I would start by following the authority blogs and then think about buying info-products from there.

    From everything that I have seen so far (I am pretty new myself) there are amazing FREE resources and soo many amazing people that are willing to help and give you productive help (if you ask the right questions). Read as much as you can, file it into things you are absolutely interested in pursuing, have no idea what this means, and not interested/garbage.

    There is a vast array of things you can do with IM, find an area that interests you and then learn as much as possible about that one area and then dive in. Mistakes will be made, frustrations will be had, but if you keep trying eventually money will start coming in.

    Best of luck!

    Welcome Crosbag.

    If you have a look around the forum you will find lots of helpful information for free and most members will try to help if you have any questions. If any program seems to be 'too good to be true' then it usually is.

    The War Room is ok but can be confusing initially, not everything in there is helpful, so try the main forums first.

    I would say that the business model from which I started making real money online is list building and consistent blogging and sticking to both these will get you guaranteed results.
    Do these 2 things consistently :
    - Update your blog daily and do some seo to get traffic
    - Build your list and grow it as you progress

    If you have some money to invest, I strongly suggest you spend it on host, domain and tools like wordpress plugins (optimize press, hybrid connect etc.) and maybe on a professional looking logo.
    If you have some cash left after that, you can look for a good WSO / training platform or some paid traffic.
