Any recommendations? Thinking about starting my IM journey

[peteiro99]

Hello i am a 24 year old software engenieer that has been working at an IT company for two years and a half. I have been reading this forum for a while and tried some methods (not really hard to be honest) and never got any success.

So now i am willing to put all the effort needed into something, for now my thoughts are on learning digital marketing by a udemy course and maybe then python. I have also watched the course of ClickFunnels about marketing using the free months but i think that it relays too much on their own tools which is a little bit odd since you have to pay almost 300$ a month to use them, so i would like to maybe try that in a different way.

If you can help me giving me some orientations or advice on this matter i would be very thankful, also if someone is in a similar situation or wants to start in this, don't hesitate on contacting me and maybe we can create a Telegram group or whatever where we can share our thoughts, experience, etc and help each other.

Thanks.

'Methods' are temporary. Build something sustainable. Anything you start with the aim of making a lot of money quickly is destined to fail.
Read the forums here, go through some videos on YT that teach the fundamentals and not those who make false claims of making $$$. You'll start getting ideas on what to start and then you can act on those ideas. Success won't come quick and those who fail quit within 6 months.

Thanks for your answer. That's exactly what i am looking for, something sustainable and scalable. I already watched many videos and looked many threads here but there are many ideas and i would like to have a full focus in one thing that maybe ends up being something that returns profit. So thats what i am looking for and also would be good to know some people that are in a similar position so we can exchange knowledge and motivate each other.

Any more advice?

With your knowledge you can create a SAAS...you can offer services like bots or online tools and charge a monthly subscription promoting on social media

Don't fall for the so-called shiny object syndrome. Try to stick to a few verticals only. Like for instance I sell content and links for a living. That doesn't mean I have to do CPA, Google Ads and Meta Ads as well for making a living. Carve out your niche and then become an expert in that niche. Hope I am making sense here.

Best to be a master of one trade, than to become a jack of all trades.

Thank you so much for the advice, maybe I can give it a try after learning python but i think the hardest part would be to attract traffic to the site.

I deeply agree with what you are saying, but right now I havent picked a niche or have any special interest in a particular one and that is what i am trying to find out. Right now my focus is on finding a niche that fits me and put consistent work until I see some results.

In the same boat. Seems like this site just has successful people selling and advertising their services . But it doesn't teach how to actually open a business to make money. Been trying to find a guide even would pay to show me remote work. but it's hard.

You dont need to use the subscription for clickfunnels as you can find also other tools more cheaper etc
Also 300$ i find it expensive for a beginner who needs money
Of course its a profesional tool but you can get it later when you will make some money and you can afford it

Your avatar is so familiar.

Reminds me of an old friend.

Yes there are many people selling their own services or their own course which makes me believe that it doesn't work anymore. In which niche are you currently working on?

Yes that is what i think, I been using the free month of Clickfunnels to watch the course and have a general idea of how to work with funnels. The part that seems harder to me is the one about the traffic which they recommend using facebook ads but haven't tried that one

I don't work in any niche, I just want to be able to work remote and make money. None of that click on an ad to make a few hundred a month Bs lol. I'm not 12...


I make $5,000 a month doing labor work but want to make 5,000 or more remotely. I'd be willing to learn anything .


But seems like people don't want to teach their methods because then we become competition to them. Which is ok this site still has good info available. Actually going to use a few services offered here that I didn't even knoe was possible lol. But I originally signed up to learn to make good money online.

Yes that is what i am also looking for, making an extra each month and if it is possible, leave my 9 to 5 job. I also feel like most people sell methods that are outdated or its really hard to make them work at the moment and they just sell them because they also cant make them work anymore. My interest is to learn some skill that may lead me to earn in the future. I think we are on the same path so if you want to contact me to share a thought or whatever don't hesitate to do it, even I can share my Telegram user by md if you want. Thanks
