Well, that was when i first started. Not going to mention any names, but i've invested in a lot of clickbank stuff that promised the world and delivered a few pennies. Any suggestions? Point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Look at the time you have invested not the money you have invested. Money should only be spent to leverage the time you have invested.

The time invested is only the time you have spent working on something that will earn you money

It does not include time staring at the screen, reading emails, reading forum posts or researching new methods to use.

Typically if you cut out these time wasters, people find they are actually not spending much time working at making money.

That said, I'd better log off the warrior forum and start making some money.

Bye...

Buy my stuff!
No really, I'm not selling anything (yet!).
It depends on what you want to do and what you are good at: the best thing you can do is try doing most of the stuff on the cheap until you find something you can get good at and then expand from there.

Write it down all the money you spent. And then cut off the unnecessary spense.

Investing money is not the answer. The problem is simple...

You don't know how to start and run a business.

Here is a basic blueprint. Please note, it is just an outline but it is what everybody
needs to do in order to build a sustainable business.

1. Research And Pick A Niche

What are you going to sell and to who?
Is there a sufficient demand that can potentially lead to substantial sales?
Is the competition manageable? If so, what must YOU do to be better than it?

2. Decide On A Business Model

What specific product and/or service?
How much to charge based on current competition?
How to deliver product? Digital? Physical?
Everything must be mapped out BEFORE you move onto the next step.

3. Design Business

Create Web Site
Create Product(s)
If choosing affiliate model, choose optimal affiliate products

4. Market

After the site and product(s) are in place, promote. There are multiple ways
to do this and you must at the very least gain enough knowledge of each
aspect in order to do it with any chance of making sales.

This includes either writing compelling ad copy or hiring a professional to do
it for you.

5. Test And Track

After launch, track results. What's working and what's not working?
How can the copy be improved?
How can the product be improved?
What forms of advertising can you eliminate?
What forms of advertising should you ramp up?

Question

Be honest with yourself if not with me. How much of the above have you
REALLY done?

My guess is, very little.

Building and running a business is a ton of hard work and not just throwing
money at a problem.

That's like knowing nothing about fixing a car and going out and buying a
new starter when the car won't start without considering that the problem
could be:

The battery
The alternator
The fuel pump

Or any number of things that could contribute to a car not starting.

In short, get knowledge from a reputable source...somebody with a proven
track record for success. Yes, you'll have to pay for it. You'll also have to
work very hard to see any results.

Finally, if all this sounds like too much work, ask yourself this question.

"Am I really cut out for this home business stuff?"

Not everybody is.

My 2 cents for whatever it's worth.

You've already received some good advice. I'd like to add just one thing...

Think about how you can deliver value to someone. The more value you deliver the more impact you will have. The more impact you have the more money you make.

As Zig Ziglar says, you can have anything you want in life if you'll just help enough other people get what they want. It's all about delivering value.

Thanks

Those clickbank squeeze pages got you huh... They show all these crazy good sales stats but think about it... that's what THEY'RE making by selling THEIR products on clickbank with the help of affiliates like you. To make substantial money with clickbank you'd have to create your own product... AND make it look good... Otherwise you're just like everyone else out there sending the same old emails & making a few dollars every now & then. Whenever I get an email that's obviously affiliate marketing I think, "Really?? You're a little late buddy..." What worked a year ago or even a few months ago is most likely not going to work as well now when it comes to IM. It's always changing, your audience is now used to the old marketing tricks, getting more jaded & fed up just like you are now. You have to stay on top of the trends & new methods. And it really doesn't hurt to have a geek, a graphic designer & a copywriter in your circle of contacts.

Thanks

In regards to wedding and reception digital photography training, people today would die to have most effective with wedding and reception shots taken in any case with selling prices. Sometimes it is a trickiest problem than a wedding and reception photography could facial area, if perhaps your dog works out to the selling prices plus explains just what exactly offers your dog is providing. Therefore Questionnaire photography is required to decide types of offers that he or she may need to give. When allowing the several solutions advertising and marketing that he or she would not give very a lot of them that could actually make the shopper bewildered.

If the above is an example of the quality of your sites then I can see why you aren't making money. Now that is just lifted from one post on the first site in your signature, but really - you can't figure out why people aren't clicking or buying stuff from you?

I've never liked affiliate marketing, people will rarely read through a full queeze page that you've spent hours constructing, and then you get 50c for a sale.

I recommend you find a great niche, spend that 2500 on SEO and get a full time blog with Clickbank on the side, but rely on AdSense for earnings. You'll get insane rankings with 2500, so use it wisely!

Thanks

Oh, don't do that -- cut it off and sell it......then use the money to help recoup your funds.

Are those your sites or are you posting affiliate sites in your sig file? I didn't see what Tina has outlined, but it looks like they are on automatic, and they look like affiliate sites.

The sites in the signature are all from this month. Looks like it's time for backlinks from the WF?

Also most of the articles seem to trace back to various authors on EZA and on other sites. Interesting.

That's being nice? Sal isn't the only one to say something negative and what she said was mild - what's the deal with jumping all over her? I was more negative than she was. Feel free to be an ass to me - I've been married twice; I can handle it.

First things first: Those domains are all registered to the same person, and the poster's IP location matches the location given in the registration data.

Now then... HyperAggressive, eh? This isn't the place for a newbie to come in and start taking shots at the members. Especially with a username that looks exactly like a troll spoiling for a fight.

You may want to reconsider your approach here.
