Starting from 0 in 2019. Too late?

[chockfactor]

Another point I'd advice you to do is. Don't trade your time for money if you can avoid it. By that I mean providing services where the money you make depends on the hours you work

It is never too late to start anything and most importantly don't care from some immature responses from guys like @mcdollof @McJenkins



you don't seems to helping him, you're discouraging him. From my opinion your silience is more powerful than spitting unnecessary things

It was a very obvious sarcasm my dear

 

[Boriss]

It is never too late to start. Never.

 

[Roboxit]

Never EVER too late. I legit have 0 marketing experience. I never took action like you and I am living my 9-5 job today. Today I decided to get up and go out and just talk to restaurant owners in my area.

I never wanted to do this because of FAILURE. I decided to go out and fail to learn and experience.

The worst that could happen is a NO. You won't DIE.

It's much better to FAIL then not to TRY.

I went and spoke to tons of owners today and manage to close a deal with one. He wants me to build up his website, SEO and with much more.

He is legit going to pay me $1000 month by month for SEO and $1000 for the website!

When you land the first client, you will have a feeling you never felt.

If I didn't take ACTION, none of this would happen TODAY.

Truth is take ACTION now, study LATER.

I am so HUNGRY for more clients NOW.

Its too late,30 is almost wheelchair age.I suggest you to go check your prostate and start thinking about retirement.

I understand the sarcasm and it's ok. Good tips actually.. you never know about the prostate and it's never too early to think about retirement.

Wow you are 30? Too late now grandpa

You know what I mean, it's different when you start at 10, 15, 20, 30, 50.. your brain functions are different.. but hey, I get your sarcasm

The best time was yesterday the next best time is today, never is to late.

The problem is you have fallen part of the shiny object thing, when you see to many methods and do nothing of them.

Select 1 method and learn all about it and just fkin stick with it. Everything is possible

Yeah, you're right I have fallen part.. but the thing is with lillte know how comes a lot of questions and doubts. The hard thing is to chose 1 thing, because of not beeing able to have a good analize/overview on which methods would work for me in particular.

From my point of view priot to 2016 IM was very easy for a beginner, very easy to spam facebook, instagram, it was easy rank videos in youtube and i was making good money with chaturbate and uploading porn, Starting from 2017 all was really harder, accouunts get deleted, videos dont rank y monetization is lowest than ever in any method.

Yeah, exactly my point.. my feeling is that the little fish have it a lot harder and the changes go even lower if you don't know what you're doing.

Thanks a lot for your words, but it's not a problem, I understand jokes and it doesn't affect me

It's never too late. Focus on what do you know the best ( photo/video edit skills, content writing, etc ) or try to learn WordPress ( it's not so difficult, and you can find thousands of free tutorials ). Start from the base and focus on one thing. The most common factor in fail is focusing on more areas of work. Good luck!

This is the main problem, I'm not experienced in anything in particular and it's hard to pick something up. this is where some advices, guidance would really help.

Some good tips there.

It's never too late!

Sure IM has got a little harder but not impossible. There are always people looking for graphic design, web design and content creation. But all these things will take the time investment to learn and get proficient. So you need to be committed and determined to remain in it for the long run. Unfortunately, so many fall for the illusion of quick cash and living on a beach somewhere making passive income. When this doesn't happen in a few weeks they throw in the towel and move on to the next shiny object. If you work hard and put in the time the money will come.

I know it's not impossible but when you start without a portofolio, without experice you are going to have a bad time competing with the ones that are experienced and have a resumee.

Hey that is amazing! You steped out of your comfort zone and you won! I'm happy for you.. keep it going! Thanks for the advice, although for me it has to happen only online because of the small town I live in.

I have dreamed such dream ... will it not come true??

@Pounder89 , I'm curious, where are you from? A wild guess would be some eastern European country?

In any case, I can relate to your story, being around same age, made some huge mistakes in my early 20s that I'm still affected by in my very late 20s. Had to start everything all over again and still doing so.

That said, I believe it's never too late to start. But you have weigh your expectations. Consider that most likely you won't make anything substantial from IM for 6-12 months. Now ask yourself - can you dedicate next 6-12 month of your free time to build something online without expecting any money? Create something for the sole purpose of providing value to your audience?

If you can do that, invest some cash into hosting and domain name, maybe some cheaper kw research tools ( optional ). Pick a niche that you would be interested in learning thoroughly and research the fuck out of it. Then begin writing content that gives value and churn as much high quality, long form content as you can ( think somewhere quality articles ). Do a keyword research beforehand, pick low comp, find products that you can review in the niche and can promote.

For traffic go to niche related forums, question sites, blog comments,reddit etc.

Do that for the next 6-12 months daily and I'm pretty sure you will replace your 9-5 income while also building an asset that you can sell.

I know you'll say you suck at writing or you are not passionate about anything, but to be fair, you can learn to write by actually writing. You might not become the next Shakespeare, but you can get good enough to provide comprehensible, engaging and valuable content to your audience.

As for being passionate, no need to be. Find something that you want to research and deepen your knowledge. It's like you do a research in college and write a paper on it in your own words, only not as formal. Just make sure the niche is profitable enough.

This above is timeless as long you are not chasing money only and give value. Your audience needs to trust you before they trust your recommendations.

I also do this. And I suck at writing and everything is difficult tbh, but I do this with a thought that 1-2 years later it will be worth it. Because If I don't 2 years later I will be regretting I didn't start at all.

But don't just chase the methods, pick something that you can sustain long term.

Hope that helps.

Better late than nothing
So start now

Hey that is amazing! You steped out of your comfort zone and you won! I'm happy for you.. keep it going! Thanks for the advice, although for me it has to happen only online because of the small town I live in.

Being in a small town only means you have less competition. Rural business owners tend to want face-to-face meetings, which the city-based and foreign agencies just can't provide.

Being local, you'll be able to reach the smaller shops that have zero public presence whatsoever, and haven't been inundated with spam. A few of my clients don't even have a phone line, or electricity, so there's virtually zero chance of a competitor coming in to offer a better price.

I know it's not impossible but when you start without a portofolio, without experice you are going to have a bad time competing with the ones that are experienced and have a resumee.

Create your own portfolio pieces based on fictional companies. Nobody cares if 'riverland bakery' isn't a real company, the focus should be on the quality of your work.

 

[jonasnarvas]

I am 36 and still trying.
Already got some good results in dropshipping

 

[RedwolfAj]

it's never too late, you can start your journey anytime you want. you will not get success in your first try most of the time.
Dropshipping,selling on amazon,CPA,seo,or freelancing, you will have to try these yourself and find which one work best for you.
As you said your budget is tight, you can start with freelancing,you don't need to spend much but need work on your skills.
If freelancing doesn't work, you can move on to next method.

Best of luck.

 

[onyok]

bro thats part of the game. frustration, sometimes you get lost, well most of times and you cant get things done. I started just this january but joined the forum 4 months ago i think, and started my own agency, even if i dont know everything yet i just want to start. And oh all the courses and methods i learned were from here, i took advantage of the courses shared and downloaded posted on mega. now I got 1 client, not premium but atleast Im earning now and my website is up! so no its never to late bro!

 

[Roboxit]

keep GRINDING bro WORK HARD. SACRIFICE and put in the TIME.

1) Create a WEBSITE
2) hire a WRITER or WRITE your own content on the service you are selling
3) you can RESELL other people's service on here. For example SEO.
4) you live in a small town, pick up your phone. RESEARCH ONLINE and talk to BUSINESS OWNERS and get to KNOW THEM FIRST. DON'T SELL TO THEM RIGHT AWAY. (start with small business to start)
5) You can find many clients by just picking up a NEWSPAPER. Some People still advertise on there.
5) "I can help you with getting your business on the first page of Google, you won't need to spend another penny on advertisement. "
6) Work is done. They think your a MAGICIAN and then they REFER YOU.
7) You made money to INVEST on your own SEO.
8) PEOPLE start finding you on GOOGLE.
9) Even though its just reselling SERVICES you can't do it ALONE. Time To HIRE.
10) You have an office and you are working FULL TIME. BYE BYE FULL TIME JOB!

I don't know why I was complicating it at first. So far I am in step 5, but i will get there BABY.

TRUTH is NO ONE is going to come up to you and tell you they need help with this or that. YOU have to step up and ASK.

 

[Rj268]

I have dreamed such dream ... will it not come true??

Not to say that it can't, but I can guarantee it won't happen in the beginning and for most it will never happen.

So many people selling courses with illusion of easy money attached to the sales pitch. Not saying the courses aren't good or informative. But the fact that there are so many people selling courses just proves my point. There is more easy money in the preaching than the practice. They don't sell courses, they sell dreams.

 

[Rj268]

I know it's not impossible but when you start without a portofolio, without experice you are going to have a bad time competing with the ones that are experienced and have a resumee.
.

Then build a portfolio. Do free work until you have one or build your own sites to showcase your skills. All this is an investment into building your business.

 

[jonsnow2019]

It can be late for certain methods but that is irrelevant because new methods appear all the time. Why would you think about stuff that doesn't work anymore?

1.Pick 10 different successful methods from this forum, filter them by your skills, budget, time and other factors until you find the best one for you.

2.Start a journey thread and try to focus on your method without getting distracted by other methods (it's challenging but you have no choice).

3.Focus on goals and don't think too much about stuff like paypal holding your balance, just see what others did to prevent it and you'll do fine.

Good luck!

 

[LucaBrazi]

It's never too late. Just stick to something and work on it like there's no plan B. Write down your goals and check them every few days. And remember be persistent. That is the key. You can work 1-2 hrs a day but do it every day. I woke up every morning at 5:30-6AM and work until my daughter wakes up and then I go to my 9-5 job.

 

[Raunakdope]

Making money online is still easy dude. You only need to brush your designing skills.

My website gets around 2000 visitors per day but the traffic never converted. So I started designing banner ads on my own around CPA offers. And then money started to really roll in.

Never loose hope. Its not too late you just have to be really creative, and give you traffic something which they have never seen before.
