New Here, need help (please be gentle)

do you have a link for this?

Thanks,

JR

Hmm... I'll check it out. Thank you very much

Guide or guideline to what? There is tons of free advice and guidelines on this forum and in the War Room...start reading

The only problem I see is that you are looking at doing things before you are experienced with them.

Selling sites to others without knowing how to (or whether you can) monetize them or set them up for maximum profit means selling sites cheap.

Freelance writing is good for those who love to write - but not so good unless you know keyword usage, LSI, can write well and have an interest in writing for hours at a time.

You are focusing on "service business" items but perhaps you should learn (and do) more about monetizing sites, SEO, content creation, etc to find your own strengths and areas of interest.

You'll do better in the long run if you take the time now to learn what interests you in IM - what niche you like to work in - and where your strengths lie. Then focus in that niche or area going forward.

(I'm not suggesting buying a ton of make money products or WSOs or anything else - just read about the various money making methods that can be used and choosing one that suits you best). You can research the topics that interest you with the "search" function on this forum and using google as well.

Well Kay King, I've read about different ways.

When I'm writing articles, I can be a pretty dang good writer. The lack of knowledge is in which keywords to go after. My nich I want to go for is going to be related to music.

I recently wrote an article on a word searched on google about 2,400 times a month (according to their tool) with a medium to high competition and it's slowly rising in googles ranks. I'm not sure if that's good or not.

I am pretty interested in clickbank products. I've found a few I'd like to promote, but I'm just not the greatest salesman yet.

But I really am liking article marketing... But I don't know how big to make my site, how many products to promote on one site, or how much info I should have on it compared to the products. It's little questions like that... or they may be big..

Thanks very much Kay.

PS: To everyone whos posted, this forum seems extremely nice and helpful. Once I can get on my feet, I hope to help the people that get stuck where I'm at right now one day.

They are what worked for me with article marketing. I'm pretty sure that other guys have different experiences, but for me it was much easier to build lists and then promote offers with autoresponder series.

Of course, I reocmmend you to test different approaches and find out what performs well for you.

Well, I can't begin to thank everyone here for their advice. I suppose I will just keep trying things until I get one that works! Also, thanks jcomm for the link.

I'm liking this guy! I've been following that idea to my best!


Also, since I have joined this forum, I have learned more here in less than a week, than googling for months. Thanks again to everyone.

Thanks! I'm trying not to feel bad, I just hate troubling people for advice.

If you enjoyed writing and I highly recommend setting up a blog here on the forum as well as posting articles to ezinearticles. Link all of your stuff back to your own blog which will go more in depth on that particular topic. set up a Weber account so that you can set up a opt in form on your blog. So basically naturally share your stuff with your friends on Facebook as well as anywhere else or connect online in traffic will come as your following gross no matter what topic you are in.

The things you learn are along the way no guru can teach you. Do not be afraid to find your own path the key is to reflect upon the path that you have created it not trying to steal someone else's path but modifying your own based on the others proven principles.

But remember first you have to have your own path. So go out there and find out what doesn't work for you because anything can work for someone but not everything can work for you.
