Wanting To Pull My Hair Out !!!

[Giovani]

My name is Giovani im 19 years old. ive been fascinated with Affiliate marketing for a while now and have spend money on traffic, ebooks, tutorial videos and have found nothing what so ever. Every single day I hop online and try and find some good information but its like all these gurus say the same things and give me false hope . a few months ago I made $40 dollars but that was with Hours and hours and hours and hours and hours of work. I recently made an ebook and that didn't do so well im talking 0 sales . I was just in a horrible wreck so I lost my truck and having trouble getting to work. my question is. Is there any method that I can start tonight or tomorrow on a $0 budget to start making money. It will mean the world to me.
Thank you for your time. Sending peace and love your way!

I know of no way to begin a new business without a proper budget and that will produce a stable income without a plan, a budget, and a schedule.

Your eBook is for a highly targeted niche that is incredibly competitive. If you have not established yourself as an authority in a specified field, it is unlikely it will produce conversions.

This community is highly active and informative, it's contents and members span from Newbies' to the experienced. Members from every level learn to earn here. The important parts are learning and implementing with a schedule, a budget, and a plan. Without them you will not push forward as you would like. This is an industry and you are wanting to establish yourself as a business. So, treat it like a business.

In the late 90's and the early 00's, one could throw a stick of crap in the air and by the time it hit the ground one could have earned a substantial amount. Today, the industry has become more business centric and requires a serious mind, very serious commitment and dedication, as well as establishing a learning curve while implementing new knowledge.

As well, you've been here since Monday and only have two posts. One pitching for affiliates as an unknown source, and the other here looking for a magic bullet. You need to get active, post your introduction in the introductions forum and let everyone know something about yourself. Ask loads of questions, post often, study, select a vertical, select a tracker and a traffic source, and get your proverbial feet wet.

This is how all of us did it, this is how all the successful Newbies do it, and in fact, all of us with experience start every new project this way. That's because this is what works!

You are a FIX'er now and that means you have the world at your feet with IM. Here are a few suggestions:

Read and learn through extensive reading in this community. Select one vertical. one tracker, and one traffic source. Learn from your fellow members here to master each one of them (a couple of months). Then you can expand and replicate your successes.

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:

As a Newbie, What Stops You From Getting Started

Here is a set of immediate goals:

1. Get a VPS
2. Select a vertical
3. Select a tracker
4. Select a couple of networks and get your approval
5. Select a traffic source
6. Create a schedule for researching, learning (training), and working. This is a business, treat it as such!
7. Create a budget for every expense (daily, weekly, monthly)
8. Be very active in this forum by researching, asking questions, helping others when you are able.

As well, I highly recommend you join the DOJO as it is full of great tools and contributions for successful marketers. Click the banner below to learn more.



Remember This! : Nothing has to be perfect before you start. Read & study, but invest and implement at the same time. You cannot learn all of it from reading and studying. A great deal of your learning comes from implementing!

Good Luck!
