Internet marketing doesn't seem to be working for me. I've heard there are some sites or forums where you can be paid for services like building links or writing articles. I've decided to check that if it works for me.

I've been using adsense for many days on my four sites but simply and shortly I'm disappointed and discouraged.

    Internet Marketing does take time in order to be successful.

    Many people are involved with internet marketing for years before they start to see any real money.

    That said if what you are doing to make money isn't working re evaluting your business plan may make sense

    Hi Buddy.

    The IM Game is one that can show money quick or long. It all depends on how you are marketing your products and services. I have students that are seeing a great ROI in there first month and others that it takes longer. It ends up being the time that a person puts in and what they are doing with there time.

    Don't give up on IM, just get some education on where and how to spend you time to make money with it. That is the main reason the people fail, is a lack of the right education.

    I hope this helps you.

    Look my friend, you succeed only when you fail. So you have, keep failing, but do not repeat the same mistakes. People NEVER succeed the first time they tried something, just keep that in mind. If you have 4 websites, cut it off. Start with just one and develop it, because what you focus on expands.

    Most people think the more websites they create the more money they'll make. This can seem deceiving. It's not the case at all. If you develop a single website and make money from it, from the lessons you learn, you'll create and monetize other websites twice as fast, because you already know what works and what does not. That's why you need to fail to see what does not work.

    I know it feels disappointing, but do not stop. Those who stay longer win.

    Every single successful business person worth his weight in salt, gold, or any other commodity, will tell you that "persistence beats resistance." YOU Must stay the course. Many times, in order to lay the groundwork for success, you must work at something for 6 or more months.

    Therefore, what I am getting at is this - select a business method, formulate your plan using that method, put your assets in place, being marketing, evaluate your traffic and revenue streams, re-evaluate, make adjustments, make money, scale appropriately and add/outsource where appropriate.

    This of course is a very general outline. You must stay focused, and WHEN you make a mistake or 100, learn from them, don't ignore them, or get discouraged and just give up. Yes, ITS HARD, anything worth doing that is going to make you money IS HARD! But the idea is the ultimate payoff down the road is bigger than any other payoff or more substantive than any job can give you.

    Ask yourself this, what is your motivation for doing what you are currently doing? Remind yourself of that motivation, then get back at what you were doing, and make your improvements.

    Stay the course and you will succeed.

    To your ultimate success - Warmest Regards,

    - JT

    I suggest finding a coach/mentor in the area you want. Do what they tell you to do and don't try and take short cuts. Be accountable for your actions to them. This is the biggest step and if you have the right mentor, they will usually get you straight. If you truly want it enough and take action it will happen.

    Try to learn from your mistakes. Test and analyze and make changes. It's a constant cycle.
    Saying that IM doesn't work is not very accurate. The sort of IM tactics you have been using aren't working.
    So, get a tutor/mentor and learn the basics and then test test test and test some more, always making adjustments. You will inch your way towards success!

    Don't quit now, you've already begun. It takes more than just a few days to see results from content you've added or created.

    Suggestion? Go ahead an look for a way to offer a service, but keep marketing. Just do ONE thing everyday if you can. In 365 days, that's a lot of effort.

    Don't get discouraged, I'll bet you know more than most people do and ANY business weather online or offline takes effort if you want to see it become successful.

    I hope this helps

    opportunist86,

    Don't give up. Let me suggest that you go through some coaching. Spend a bit of program and do your research on the WF. There are some good coaching programs around. I believe it's best to fast track one's way to success through being coached. Different coaches have different expertise and experience. Ask them what it is and then do what they tell you. They would help you start making some money.

    If internet marketing doesn't work for you at all, I suggest you should start selling your own services on any gig site like Fiverr, Fourerr, IMGigz, Tenbux, etc. Digital Point Forums and Scriptlistings Marketplace are another good places for you to sell services.

    With internet marketing it just takes a lot of time from understanding the new ways of making money to implementing and fine tuning the process. If you stick to it diligently long enough you may make money.

    Hey opportunist86, do not despair. Keep your head up! We've all been through that probably more than a couple of times. IM works, if YOU work it.

    You have to dream big but set yourself attainable goals. If money is the problem, offer your skills in particular section of this forum, on fiverr, or any of the popular freelancing websites like freelancer or odesk. If you can't put price on your skills yet, work on particular skill that is in demand and you have some interest in it.

    Or get at least a part-time job offline. I know I will get flamed for this but this can actually help you release some stress and pressure. Somebody suggested CPA marketing. I say yeah, go with it if you're able to save some money and use it for testing campaigns. You can scale up pretty quickly when you become profitable with one campaign...

    But above all - promise yourself you won't give up. Ever. No other business offers the same perks as IM. The opportunity to be your own boss and write your own paychecks in relatively short time is just to good to let it slip.

    When I have my moments of despair I watch two of my favorite movie scenes from Facing The Giants and Any Given Sunday (sorry I can't post links yet) over and over...

    Persist, no matter what.
