Why cant i do this?

Find one good method, for example I would recommend "CPA Instruments" (no affiliate link ;-) Because the teacher is smart and he's real and his system works.
Whatever program as long as it's legit. The point is, STICK TO IT, work it, test it, STOP LOOKING for other solutions. How many of us get addicted to the high of finding a new method, go over it all, but never taking action before moving on to the next "HIGH".

Work one good system until it pays and don't move away from it.

All the success experts say persistance, vision and activity is the key.

The marketers who aren't trying to sell you something say testing, innovation
and revision is the way.

And of course, there is "conceive, believe and achieve" from "Think and Grow Rich".

In the end, if you want it bad enough, you will find a way. Successful people
are reported to say that success is just the other side of failure, but you must push past failure to succeed.

I know this sounds corny, but ask any successful person on this forum and they will most likely say the same thing in other words.

"The Magic Story" has resurfaced again, I think it was an email from Mike Filsame
that I received this week. You might find it interesting as well as "Acres of Diamonds". They are public domain and readily available on the net.

I know where you are coming from, and it is so much easier to look for another way than to keep doing what doesn't seem to work. Just remember most over night successes are 10 to 20 years in the making. We all have to pay or dues in some way.

Good Luck and hang in there

be patient my brother ...

goodluck!

Pick one thing and stick to it. Start with something very, very simple. Focus on doing one thing, and stay with it everyday.

I'd suggest something like article marketing(Bum Marketing), there should be plenty of free information out there for you to use. But mainly it's just about diving into something and staying on target even when it's difficult or you get discouraged.

Good luck!

The problem is that you can know a lot about what works in theory, but it does unfortunately take time and experience to eventually understand exactly what works for you. Everyone is different, and although there are many step by step guides out there, we all need to create our own path. It's taken me a long time to realise that.

I do agree that you should choose a method and stick to it. Unfortunately the authors of many guides do make out that we'll start seeing money FAST (because that's what we want to hear), but in the majority of cases it will take time.

You may even find that the pages you've put out there start earning randomly a few months down the line. Sometimes things just happen that way.

Stop looking for a gimmick and start building a business. Learn a skill and sell it. Build loyalty, trust, and get some real clients who like you enough to buy from you.

Like most of people replied, persistence is the key. Moreover, you cannot jump from one ebook to another trying to implement what gurus have said and done. Unless and until you find ways to do online stuff and develop proficiency doing it everyday, you cannot build any credible business. Like any other business, online business takes planning, understanding technology, and having an unwavering commitment to make it happen.

Don't just give up irrespective of self doubt, failure after failure, bleak outlook etc. Push ahead and you will, one day, see the light. That day all your hard work will be paid off and you will feel most happiest and satisfied man on earth. All the best!

Yes I agree with thesalestechnician...try not to look for the overnight result. Build a business the proper way, have a product that people need or you can persuade them that they need it; create the right marketing message; deliver it through the correct channels to the targeted recipients and build a real person to person relationship. It will build your business on solid ground.

What you have to remember about some of the gurus is that they have been building a business (their list) for maybe 15 years now.

Good luck and stay focused on your desired outcome.

I don't mean to be trite, intangible or simplistic. But in my opinion, the first problem is the question and the premise it implies.
Instead of asking "Why can't I do this?" I believe Thomas Edison kept asking (through his 1000 "failures" to make a light bulb), "How CAN I do this?"

Here is my advice...


1. You already have enough information to make money. Making money online is not rocket science and buying the next ebook or guide wont help you, because you already have a solid foundation of knowledge.

2. Start focusing on something. The thing to remember is that people make a lot of money with virtually every strategy there is, so the trick is not finding the right direction to take but rather becoming good at whatever direction you decide to take. So focus on becoming good at whatever you do, there is no need to jump around!

3. Basics - When I started, I always thought there was a secret sauce out there, something others were doing that I just needed to get my hands on and then I would be making money to. There is no secret sauce! Its all about the basics and fundamentals of marketing. Go back to the basics...value. Somehow carve out some way to create value. That is the first and most important step. Next market. If there is enough value you are providing, the marketing becomes substantially easier, thus focusing on the production or distribution of value is very important.


I have no doubt you can "make it" if you sit down, come up with a good strategy and then work your tail off to make that strategy work. I always encourage people to come up with as detailed of a business plan as they can. This should be easier for you than most, because you have knowledge of the industry already!

Wishing you much success and prosperity!

Not to be redundant to the group of replies but the one common theme here is "persistence". It really is the key.

Choose one method of IM and STICK TO IT!! Maybe try sifting through the WSO for a program that is tailored to newbies. Usually a program like that will have step by step instructions that are easy to follow and that will get you on...well at least A track if maybe not the right one for you.

Best of luck!!

Choose one method of IM and STICK TO IT!.Modify it till you get result.Most people leave IM when they are too close to success.We all where there at some point of time or another.

Always pick something that you believe in to promote, first and foremost. Don't just try to sell anything. As a coach, I believe that you must have some passion for what you do to make living. Anything that you firmly believe in will always ring true as long as you work hard to make it happen and help others along the way! Best of Luck!

When you were just learning to walk, you learned the secret of success.

Stand up, take a step, fall down, repeat till you can walk.

Then came talking, make sounds, compare to others and analyze their response, try again till they understand what you want.

The truth is you can do whatever you are willing to expend the time and resources to accomplish providing that you have the physical attributes to accomplish. (A cannot have a baby because I'm male - this is before some makes the remark)

You are limited by your by the beliefs you have accumulated over the years. People say things to you that you take to heart (and probably don't remember who or when). My wife had the idea that she could not do algebra, but when an algebra problem was presented in s different way, she had no problem solving it.

Look at the things you are having problems with, break them down into their parts and work on detemining the underlying feels or causes for the blockage. Try to find the reasons you do what you do, and why you don't do the things you can't.

It's all about taking action and trying different marketing strategies. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Focus on one thing and do it very well! Good luck.

Of course that if you just created your pages, they won't have visits or clicks.
Traffic doesn't appear for magic.

Of course that if you just joined forums and bought ebooks you won't have earned anything.

Money doesn't fall out of the sky (at least for the majority of us). You have to pick an idea, and STICK to it. You can't just create and expect that it will grow by itself.

It's not "why can't I do this" it's more like, you haven't done it yet.

“The urge to quit is strongest, right before you make it.”
-Bob Parsons, founder of GoDaddy

Don't you dare give up or I will physically beat you!

you have to be laser sharp focused on your objective and take action immediately.
the secret of success is never ever give up untill you reach your goal.change strategy and achieve your goal if one is not taking to the right road to success, Be the Best

Keep going! I've had this problem in the past and it's about perserverance and continuing to do what you're doing...

Think how many people are trying to do what you're offering now - it is the most competitive market place but consistency and determination will see you though!

Big Jeff you've had some great advice from some really concerned peeps here. I recommend listening to all of it and then coming back for more advice and inspiration. Just pick up the pieces and keep going. We'll all be more than happy to look at what you're doing and helping you tweek the thing into a mighty juggernaut of mass instruction!

I love Winston Churchill, and I think everyone's day would be better begun if it included at least two Winston Churchill quotes. I know mine is.
Here's one of my favorites, if you'd like a smile (W.C. quotes are great for that, too!):
"I drink a great deal. I sleep a little, eat whatever I like, and I smoke cigar after cigar. That is why I am in two-hundred-percent form."
Love him!

That is a great quote sparkie2260!

your main problem is you give up easily.stick to 1 method.if you wanna do cpa just promote cpa.if something else do that.dun keep on jumping here and there.most of the marketers failed is because they tried to do every method that they learn.

don't try multi-tasking because it makes you lose focus.

Action, focus and a good method. That's all what you need to make money online. If you have already bought many products you already have the smallest part, which is the system/method.

Now, get the other 2 elements. First, choose a method (just pick something that's popular and proven to work and you can't go wrong), then create an action plan and tasks list.

The next step is take action. Lose money/time (depends on the method you choose), but don't move on. Improve your techniques, adjust your plan and try again. Just don't move on to another method and start everything again. Keep focused on one thing and keep doing it until you succeed. It may take a week, a month or even several months, but it will take much longer with you don't stay focused and jump to another system.
