Hi everyone. Here's the thing, I don't know what to do next. I've come a long way from the service industry to offices where I was a typical give-and-take kind of dude. Decided to try freelancing, and other than the skill to find the information I need (hello ChatGPT, now I'm irrelevant now). The motivation is simple - money and I want to make a normal living. The problem is that I do not understand in what direction to move. There are a lot of articles and information, it is difficult for me to choose something. And the question is not about instant profit without investment and simplicity. I am ready to work. Maybe some of you ninjas can share your knowledge, experience and observations? What can I do in this case? I would be very grateful for your response. All the best to all.
Honestly, I'm confused.

It can be hard to start off as you said there are some many different paths to take. If you are just starting out I would recommend trying to use free traffic before you start with paid traffic. Some great free traffic would be social media. Learn the platform you use the most in your day to day life, be it reddit, ig,tiktok,youtube. Try and stick with one social media until you get a good understanding of it. Most practices apply to all social media, however each platform is different and you need to just based on where you post.
After you start getting some traffic then you can decide which route you want to take be it Affialtes marketing, cpa, paid posts, building up accounts for resell.
The main key is try and figure out where there is attention and how you can take some of it

The only way I have made any real money with internet related marketing was finding trends near the beginning and riding the 'wave'.
I think AI related SaaS may be good in the future. However, the position in the adoption curve is very early. It's in the "game" playing stage right now.
And understand why people buy:

As a Newbie, you need to read, study, invest, and implement. Perseverance, dedication, and taking action are the cornerstones of the success you will obtain.
Read
Read through the various areas of the forum to learn about the types of marketing available for your new business. Make a list of all the types of marketing and take some notes along the way. Then determine which area of marketing with which you will start your journey.
Do this to select an area of marketing to start, as well, do this to select a tracker, a traffic source, and to select a vertical.
Then read up on the affiliate networks and select two to begin with that will serve your needs and the types of offers you would like to promote. Put your application in and they will call you for an interview. Be professional and be prepared to answer some questions about how you will promote offers, do you have a website, are you a Newbie, etc. Please note, if you join the Dojo, we have a thread there that can offer assistance in getting accepted to some of the networks.
Study
Now that you have selected a basis to begin, read all of the threads in this forum that relate to your initial selections so that you have a rudimentary understanding of their features and benefits.
Invest
You will require some investment. A VPS server, domains, traffic, landing pages, etc. You will need a budget for daily, weekly, and monthly expenses. This will change over time and you will need to update it often so that you know exactly what your costs and earnings are.
Implement
This is where it all starts to earn. You must now begin to implement what you have established as your foundation for your business.
Here is some advice and guidance that will help you establish your initial goals:
Make sure you complete the following first.
Every business needs:
1. a plan
2. a schedule for research, learning, and execution
3. a budget.
Remember to read through our WIKI and get to know the basics as well as some of the buzz words in the industry.
I also recommend reading the following thread:
