I have been trying to make money online for a long time (almost 7 years). I bought various programs and tried different things. But still not much success. Any advice would be appreciated? Thanks

    Seven years is such a long time. Try sticking with one program you like and be good at it.

      Hmmmm, about the quickest way is to put something on Ebay!
      Although that usually takes a full day to sign up, etc.

      The cheapest way is to put some gigs on Fiverr.com, although it may take a few months for it to build up steam.

      The best way long or short term, is to pay a programmer on Freelance, etc, to do an app around PLR, WP, Facebook, etc, (although Facebook is a bit of a nightmare, but it is more profitable) do your research to make sure it, (your idea) sells and then do it!

      You may have a bit of a learning curve, l did, even after trying to make money online for about 4.5 years, full time. But the rewards in this area are huge.

      You only need to look at the top WSO suppliers, and the fact that they are making $10,000 or more per month, to see the potential!


      You might be able to create a profitable site, (SEO, etc) etc, but you could also spend considerable amounts of time, flogging a dead horse?

      Anyway, hope l have helped.

    I have to agree with the thoughts mentioned earlier:

    1. Stay focused. I kept jumping around when I first got started and it did not work.
    2. eBay is a great first option. You can clear out a ton of items in your house and make a few bucks. You could find items on Craigslist and turn around and sell those on eBay. I teach my students how to look at the Free Craigslist postings and profit on eBay.
    3. Also, you If you have some technical or writing skills, you could outsource yourself here on the Warrior Forum or one of the many outsource sites like Elance and Odesk.

    My best advice is to stay focused and follow 1 strategy. Warren Buffet invests that way and it has made him billions, surely if you did did the same, you could make thousands and more...

    Sounds like you are misdirected. Just like this post. This should go in the Main forum --- if anywhere. If you searched "make money fast" on the search feature - you'd see posts ad nauseum on the subject. If you've been here 7 years and haven't figured out the "make money fast" crap - maybe you should be working in the real world instead.

    Thank you to all of you that replied. I really appreciate the advice.. I think the problem I have is that I jump from one thing to the other as you guys as said. Offline and then online again. So going off and on. And just to clarify. I started online for about few months and then stop for few years before now coming back to online. I guess that is waht makes it look so long. Not good at all though. But I know I would get there. Thanks so much

    Try offering products or services of strong interest to you, as opposed to just making money.

    The jumping from one thing to the next is what gets most people in this industry.

    The net is filled with great marketers who get paid to get you to jump to their deal.

    The key for me was to unsubscribe to most newsletters, pick 1 - 2 legit goo-roo's and learn from them. But don't just learn, take action! And commit to sticking with it until you are successful. Never quit when you are at the bottom!

        Yes, good advise, but it takes a lot of effort and failure to realise that.

        5.6 years ago, l tried Ceramics, which l am crazy about, but since it was 2008, and professionals in my industry where already taking a hit, profit wise, l decided to shelve Ceramics!

        And now after 5.5 years of trying just about everything online, l have found that l can do graphics, and make it profitable as well.

        I should also mention that l only found this out after hitting a brick wall, and it looked like there was no easy or reasonably quick way to get ahead.


        It is only when things get bad, that an unknown opportunity is uncovered or presents itself!


        Ignore people around you that don't get this, and keep going.

        Also ignore things that look like opportunities, they may just be more bad luck, experience will show you over time which are probably genuine, and which are not. Another benefit from persistent effort!


        I didn't realize this until l had tried developing software. After a few months of that, l knew that it would create a second income and more, but it wasn't an easy path to take. Or not taking into account affiliate's with huge lists giving you a break, etc, it would probably take a few years to reach an income replacement level.


        With graphics, l enjoy it, l can do it myself, (although l will probably have to outsource eventually) l can churn them out 2 to 3 times quicker than employing someone, to do an app, and other advantages.

        Obviously it took a year or so, to learn it, but it does show how persistent learning, and effort can pay off.

        People who try once or twice and give up wouldn't understand this point!


        The jumping from one thing to the next is what gets most people in this industry.

        The net is filled with great marketers who get paid to get you to jump to their deal.
        Yep, did a bit of that, but l tended to jump after a few months of effort, after l proved that it didn't work or wasn't for me, or l would go bankrupt trying to get it to cough up?

        That is why l tend to avoid SEO based products, been burned too many times, and worked to hard for to long, to bother with it again.

        And lists, tried a few times, spend quite a lot, and got back crap or meagure results at best, (some CPA products may work, but l wouldn't bother).

        The list goes on, so what l am getting at is buying a shiny object and not giving it a reasonable time frame, means that you won't know if there is something there that does work?

        But putting years of effort in to a website is just as bad, if it refuses to cough up.


        So - in your signature the "made $1254 in 7 days" is an exaggeration????
        Yes, clearly a contradiction there? I bought a product around SEO for Youtube videos on the WF, which after months of effort turned out to not work the way it was supposed to. I researched and found some of his biggest testimonials were from members that clearly couldn't get it to work.

        So if it is legitimate, and you have some proof, then it is probably ok, (l suspect you would be getting close to 55% conversion rate with it, with paid traffic) although not sure how effective it will be here?

        Good luck, and keep going!
