Hello to everyone reading this posting. I'm Steven, and you can call me Steels for short. I worked as an design engineer with a swiss manufacturing company. I'm in this trade for about twenty plus odd years. Since the day people considered that my trade is a sun setting trade, I'm sick of stepping out to seek employment again. Ever since I know I can earn a decent living off the internet, I set my mind working on this. To date, it is already four years since I started off, I have not really earn a dime off the net. Sad to say...(what a disgrace)..
I started off by looking for information, but there are so many information, today you hit a new information, tomorrow you happened to get even better information. And you would signup to get free ebooks and within a couple of weeks, your mailbox are jammed with mails which offer you other informations and so called 'Shiny Objects' and in the end, you ended up with so many information on hand till you don't even know where to start, how to start and what to do. Information overload......as what they claimed.
Next I make up my mind to shut off those 'Shiny object' syndromes. I attend my local seminars, what a disappointment, Spend 2 hours sitting there and listening to the presenter, and the first course I signed up, was how to create your own product and sell in online.
I paid S$3000.00, signup for the online course. eagerly awaiting for the approval to access the online course, hopefully I can pick up some ways to create a product and sell it online by setting up your own website. Six months down the course, I haven't have a slightest idea of what product to create, need to do keyword research and mind-mapping, goodness, by the end of the nine months period, I still have not come up with any product. Because my course is 1 year period, once your 1 year period is up, the logged in access to all the information is totally shut off. I started to panic, I wrote to the coach, hoping that he can still extend the time, but the word NO was slammed right onto my face. No choice, I still have a website for free, as a package, I wrote to them telling them that I need a website to sell stuff off Amazon, and as a package, they have to create a website for me, but to my disappointment, their reply to me was they can't provide me with sort of website, then I asked for a refund as I felt cheated, and was turned down, as they mentioned that within three months you don't benefit from this course, you can ask for a refund. There, my S$3000 burned.
Fast forward till today. Without giving up my internet business idea, I still believe I can't earn a decent money, I chance across the word CPA, and did a lot of read up on CPA, and they mentioned that CPA Marketing is the most easy way to earn money from. Again I did my own research and read up on a lot on CPA. One day, a mail with the CPA seminar pops in my email, and thus without any contemplation, I signup for the seminar, spent 2 hours and listen to presenter, ended up signing up the course for another S$3000.00, I didn't sign up straight away. I contemplate for a week, then I tell myself, this will be the last time. If this don't work out, I must as well go look for a job. And kiss good bye to my dream.
Four months after the course, I haven't even earn a dime yet, despite having setup about 15 campaigns. All my campaigns are direct linking and running on 50onRed traffic network. I'm a little discourage and disappointed. I am simply lost and seems to me that there isn't any more energy left in me, it's like fighting a losing battle and imagine so much money was being used up. What should I do?
During the course, was told that you have to do direct linking, if it is profitable, then you have to create a landers and scale it up. Do any of the seniors agree with this statement? If that is true, I am giving it a last shot at it.. or can any seniors here provide m with any advice? All advice are welcome.
