Hey guys,
SO after having been on the forum for the last couple of years I have read many... Many posts.
Thanks to you guys and your help I was able to get motivated and start my online money making "career"
It came with many set backs, however I always took them with a pinch of salt and learnt from my previous mistakes and not let them happen again.
Firstly I began with affiliate marketing, I was trying my best to do so with just free methods and it fell flat on its ass as I was a teenager at the time with literally $0 to my name. I had tried all the SEO stuff but quite frankly I had barely even tried now that I look back on it today, I was just eager to make money asap and didn't think long term....
Then eventually I had moved on to CPA marketing and found gradual success by promoting via YouTube and Facebook groups, didn't make much but hey it was my first online income and made it feel as though it was possible
I had only made about $50 after a month or so and stopped due to accounts getting flagged/banned.
I then ended up taking a course in digital marketing and sat for some exams, this lit the light bulb in my head of how the "Consumer/customer Flow" was achieved. I then set out laser focused on how to achieve some of my higher goals I had in mind at the time.
I then took the money I had made and a few hundred I had saved up and tried to dip my feet into the drop shipping side of things (shopify), it was noting crazy but once again instead of making cents/click I was making a nice profit on each item that was sold, in my case my niche was sunglasses. Once again I didn't make thousands but it was still an improvement over the last endeavor I made a few hundred from it.
Finally I then set out on my most profitable venture which was a SAAS kind of site. I had enough capital behind me to use paid promotions now and the boost it gave the "Business" was INSANE since it gave instant results instead of patiently waiting for SEO etc... And that was generating a few hundred/month at times i was reaching over 1k/month also which for me was AMAZING! it was my first success at making what felt like was decent money online after my many failures in the past. Long story short I had a few issues with PayPal as many seem to have here also... so no surprise I had to put the project on the back burner for now, its still running just not as successful as it once was. However I did my due diligence and collected over 3k emails from clients whom I can re market to in the future.
Now to my next project... I planning on starting a tube site in a very specific niche. I haven't seen many out there that offer such content and I want to give it a shot.
What I have done so far -
Purchased A Domain Name
Purchased Hosting for the domain
Purchased WP-script subscription
Purchased WP-script embedder/theme
Signed up for multiple affiliate/ad networks
I have an established sub reddit I own that I plan to link to
I have all web analytics set up
I will hopefully keep this thread updated as a sense of motivation to keep moving forward, I am aware this industry is pretty cut throat but hey, i wanted to give it a shot and see if I can make it work should it not work out its more experience under my belt for future projects
As always if anyone has any useful information to drop below feel free, it is always greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
