People, the ones of you who already know, could you please just explain to me, a newbie, who has just become unemployed, not unexpectedly, because I knew it was coming, however, I've never really liked working for other people so have spent thousands of dollars over the past years trying to find something, anything-- to get me out of the 8 to 5 HELL called a J.O.B. It's more like a prison sentence with mandatory hard labor attached to it rather than a job. The MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL hardships that come as a part of working in an office cannot even be measured. Hell on Earth! It was killing me softly and slowly, like being fed arsenic over a period of years causing a sure death eventually. Slow death! In being laid off, I was spared that slow death, but I need to get going with something else before I'm forced, if that's even possible in this economy, to have to go back in there.
Very recently, in the past 6 months or so, discovered the "buzz" about internet marketing, or affiliate marketing--whatever it's called. Then in my months of research, I read all I could possible read about this, after getting home from the hell on earth then, finally, paying for memberships in affiliate marketing programs, but I am still no closer to knowing any more today than I did when I first began my search. There's more and better information right here at 5 Star Affiliate's website than anything I've paid for in the past, but I'm still not understanding anything. I'm begging you, anyone, please. Help me to get on the right track. Please.
First: What is the first step, finding a niche or writing an article or building a website. If after an article is written and place somewhere on the internet, what does it accomplish? In other words, How does one make money just by placing an article on ezine or squiddo or any where else? I've read numerous articles on those sites and others too, but just having people read articles doesn't seem to be enough to generate money. How is the money generated after the article is placed on those sites?
Second: What about the products, the pay per clicks, etc? I thought there was a cost to have pay per click ads. other places I've seen people say that the person with the ads get paid for each click through, so I'm very confused about that, the PPC, they call it, costing money each time someone clicked on the link. Which way is it. You pay or the clicker pays per click????
How does clicking make money for the person who's footing the bill each time someone clicks? It's gotten to the point that I no longer click anything on the right side of the google website because I feel that I'm causing the person who has the ads listed there to be charged every time I click one of the links and I don't want to cause them to have to pay just because I clicked on their link, especially if I end up not buying anything after clicking.
Third: Product promoting. Where or how does the product promoting that generates all the money that I hear people talking about play a role in making all the moneyh they say they are making???? I see pictures of the grids or reports of money they say they've made, and it's always a lot of money. Sometimes its copies of checks in large amounts of money that people claim they are making on the internet, as affiliates or articles writers or whatever, but it's a real mystery as to how it's done, and paying for a program that is supposed to show people step by step how to make money in internet marketing doesn't work either. I just ended a membership in the most famous affiliate program of all from what I see here on the internet, the once called the Wealthy Affiliates by Kyle and Carson and I am just as uninformed as I was when I was while using their program for every day until I feared for my health from so many hours on their site without sleep---8 hours or more every night and 15 or more hours on Saturdays and Sundays, every week-end. Mind you, at the time I was still full time employed 9 hours a day while I was doing this. I'm so tired. I feel like a ZOMBIE!
Then I joined that Maverick Money Maker program where the man charges 100.00 a month, and although there is a whole lot of information on his site, I still just don't get it, just don't understand: JUST HOW, IN GOD'S NAME, DO PEOPLE MAKE MONEY JUST BY WRITING AND SUBMITTING ARTICLES AND LEAVING THEM ALL OVER THE INTERNET??????
Call me dumb or anything else. I just don't get it.
