Hi there - newbie alert

Hi - I think you have to choose one strategy and become an expert in that strategy. Ignore everything else until you have mastered that aspect. Only then can you tell whether it is worth sticking with.... good luck on your journey! All the very best, Allen

yeah you should just stick to one course that you've bought and just take action and follow that till the point where you are making money. Don't rush yourself into buying the next greatest product that will make you rich overnight. Just focus on one topic of internet marketing e.g. list building, seo or product creation. Master that and make money in that field before moving onto something else.

Remember if you don't take action you won't get anywhere in life, thats the truth.
So good luck

First Step, Zoom Out, analyze what are
avaliable in the market that you can do to
made money online.

Step 2, Understand your interest, strength,
weakness, skills, etc.

Step 3, Zoom In, shortlist 2 methods that you
think suitable to you, analyze it in details again,
choose one to do.

Final Step, stay focus, consistent, and persistent
to the method that you have selected.

The above steps may be simple, but to implement
it, is extremely hard, so be prepare and don't say
i never warn you.

Good luck and wish you success.

Wow, it almost sounds like you think you can push a button and get results. Unfortunately, there is a fairly decent amount of work required in IM. At least in the beginning. There's no other way around it. When you come to grips with that, you'll be able to get over this hump.

Hi, I just read a good guide for new marketers starting out that you might want to check out. It is offered by another warrior right here on the forum here is the link(it is free with no opt-in):http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...0-quickly.html, I agree with the others that you have to focus on one area until you become successful with it, otherwise you will get overloaded with information and not actually do anything, which is exactly what you don't want.


To Your Success,

Allen

Hi Alex,
I agree with the others, you need to work on one thing a time become an expert at it then move on to the next thing. If you try to do to many things at once you will be all over the place.

When I started I was the same, till someone told me to start on one thing say like learning how to submit articles and where, then move on to the next.
I know it can take time but believe me it will be worth it in the end.

To your success

Try to start with a narrowly market niche (which is based on your knowledge and passion), then choose a specific strategy that's most suitable with your current situation (or your budget). You can also make friend with an expert who already made real money online and follow his blueprint.

Remember, learning without any action will just result in nothing more than a wish.

Take it easy!

Hi Alexfox. I for one believe you should start with market research. List down immediate needs and urgent problems of many people. Zone in on sets of needs and problems people regularly search online for solutions and beneficial content...

Zone in further on sets of needs and problems people are willing to purchase solutions on the Internet after they find those solutions online. Zone in much further by identifying which of those sets of needs and problems your specialized expertise and interest can be useful for people with those needs and problems...

List down the online social communities where people with those sets of needs and problems frequently hang out, because they want to talk to people with similar needs and problems as well as to professionals with specialized expertise in relevant subject areas. It'll be great if those online social communities have top ranking, contextually relevant pages in Google for related keyword searches. Choose the online social communities with the largest active membership bases...

Go to those online social communities and learn about their specific needs, problems, actual test results and experience relevant to solutions in the market for those needs and problems...

Once you gathered those useful, relevant details:

You'll know the business backend workflow systems to formulate and implement, the domain name to register, the Web server host provider to use, the Wordpress theme to use, how to customize the overall look and feel of your chosen Wordpress theme to be aesthetically pleasing and convenient to navigate for your target viewers, the Wordpress plugins to install, the Wordpress theme and plugin settings to configure, the mailing list management service to use, the products to develop and the sales pages to write or the affiliate products to market and the review pages to write, the free digital info product to develop for enticing your target viewers to sign up to your mailing list, the onsite content to develop, the newsletters and email updates to send your mailing list members, the online social networks to regularly hang out in and contribute eneficial content to other members, the offsite content to use for your traffic generation and marketing campaigns and the growth and expansion plans to implement for your business...

Out of the WSO's you have bought have you actually tried putting any of the methods they teach into practice? I mean other than just reading through them have you given them a good go?

You maybe just need to focus on one of the WSO's you bought and give it your all to understand it and put the methods learnt into action.

If you have bought a few It can get confusing as then you don't know which one to start with, which one is best. Just pick one and put in a lot of effort learning about it until you fully understand it then try it.

While you're looking into how to get started you should start building a list of names to email market to.

Most top level Internet Marketers will tell you that each name on your list is worth about one dollar a month when using the right email stategy.

That's not to say each person on your list will give you a dollar every month, it means that as you send out your marketing emails the purchases average out to a dollar a name.

So to get up to $20.00 a day you need about 900 names on your list, $50.00 a day you need about 1,500 names.

This only applies to lists that you build yourself, you can't go out and buy a list and expect it to be responsive to someone they don't know.

As most people above have said, it takes quite a bit of work to start earning money on-line.

So choose one of your WSO's and give it every thing you can for the next month, either make it work and start making money or gather proof that it doesn't work and get your money back.

Whatever route you go down, you won't earn any money until you learn how to get targetted traffic to a webpage. If I were you I would focus on learning everything you can about SEO. Once you learn how to get traffic, then you can learn how to make money from it...

Affiliate marketing is a good place to start. Find a niche you are interested in and find a product to promote. Use your site that you are promoting your affiliate product on to collect emails. This will give you a customer base. From there you can email them informational newsletters and promote other affiliate offers from time to time. This also gives you a great base of customers for if/when you decide to create your own product in the same niche.

It does take time to build an email list, but in the end, it is worth it. IM isn't something where you should expect to be making money quickly. Many people spend years trying to get to a steady $20 a day.

Offering services is the best way to meet a goal of $20-50 a day, but the real key to IM is making passive income streams. Sure, my main income is writing, but I am also working on a PLR shop for passive income as well as a review site.

Alex,
Like you I have been struggling with the same sort of issues. I went out and purchased already existing website thinking that the traffic would just appear. Well that hasn't happened and I am spending money on WSOs and still thinking that a piece of the puzzle is missing.

It is easy for your brain to go on "overload" by spending a lot of time on the Warrior Forums. Personally, before you decide, I would take a step back and "get away" for a few days This is something that helps me quite a bit when I am trying to make a decision while my brain is "overloaded" with info.

You would rather stick to one that like you most. I believe you should start with blogging. By the time you mastered it and gain huge traffic, you can start any other venture that you like. Just focus on what you do.

Alan these are some great words of wisdom and encouragement. I appreciate it very much. One thing that has kinds jumped out at me is this "Do you need to learn technical things or marketing things first?" In other words which skill do I need to concentrate on initially. I come from a corporate background and have neither of these skills yet.

look I been donig this for years now, and I am full time.

I did not see the big $$$ come in till i did the following things

1) Stick to one thing religiously. There is no holy grail.

2) Time management, I work on this stuff many hours a day, not goof off all day.

3) Build a list, if you are doing that you are ultimately building a real business and getting clients you can sell to on a regular basis.

Do these things and you will see money come in continuously.

Try to go over the basics and then decide where you are interested and comfortable with. Then, master that strategy.

You can make money very easily in this business. $20-$50/day is nothing.. Do you have any money to start with, or are you starting from scratch?

Hey Alex ,

Here are my suggestions :

1. As I can understand from your message you are unfocused .

This is what most of us do when we begin and believe it or not it is the main reason for the failure of the vast majority of marketers. If you keep of jumping from system to system, believe me you are going to fail .

So, what is the solution?

The solution is simple ...

Choose one traffic source or system which is proven to work and focus on it until you make it work. This is very critical.

Stop jumping from one system to another.

Focus on only 1 proven system, master it and make it work .

2. I also want to tell you that ...

Whenever you start, start with what is already proven to work . You don't need to reinvest the wheel.

The truth is ...

Marketers spend lots of time in promoting their products and designing their sales process. So, everything, what works or not is ready in front of you.

The takeaway is ...

Go and get successful marketers and try to spy, observe and analyze everything they do it make money .

Believe it or not, every successful marketers start by spying their competitors.

Therefore, don't start from Zero.

So, go and spy successful marketers and try to see how they are doing.

Hope it helps.

Cheers,
Mike

The best advice I can give you is this:

Don't believe in the promises of you will making tons of money doing nothing.

As some folks said in this post, you need to work, nothing comes without effort. Stick to the easy and free ones in the beginning, such as article marketing (where you are the article writer) and backlinking.

Once you get some results you can invest in some paid SEO.

Good luck.

I agree with everoyne, stick with one thing and I would say the best thing would be CPA... search 'Kenster' and you should find some good results.

I started with just one...it worked out ok....Then I went to the next and stopped here until I get my foot wet some more and get more into it...

All excellent advice!

One thing I would add would be that before you try any SEO strategies to get traffic to your website, verify that you can actually convert the keywords you're targeting into sales by buying the terms via PPC. (The key to not losing your shirt is to ONLY bid on the search network, and ONLY bid on exact match keywords. don't go with the AdWords default of "all match types" and "all networks".)

Alex it sounds to me that you are in need of a good coach/mentor who can steer you in the right direction. Most good coaches will keep you focused and on track to making the type of income that you really want. Even the best have or at one time had a coach.

First off welcome to the forum, there are some great folks and great content, if you have an idea of what it is you would like to do, be it blogging, or CPA, or affiliate products, then search for threads on that subject, it will give you ideas to run with

different people have different path to succeed. you can't copy someone else's success just because you try. you have to think carefully who you are, what're you strong at, stuff like those.

then you need to try a little directions before finally settle the best suited one.

just my two cents
