I feel like giving up...

[OnlineGodfather]

Maybe you just didnt find your niche to make money. try different things and you will see whas good for you.

Here's what all answers lack: Attention. Noone reads more than the title to write a useless "sticktoit" platitude.

 

[Sleinad]

IMO I think you should just get a job in McDonalds.

Fine you like giving up.
Do you have backup.
What was your motivation or goal of getting into this, do you think you can do it, or be just another ant in the colony, moving mountains, and not even being paid peanuts for monkeys.
You need to first understand your strengths
Do your SWOT.
Find your goal. And then dont give up, however hard the path might be.
You need to Plan, learn, do/act, accept mistakes, re (plan) organise, relearn, redo, keep the cycle repeating, with mistakes decreasing and results increasing, if you cant, you are not made for it. Its better to find your vocation.
If you need anything you can always ask for help. Its always around.

It is seriously very difficult to stick to my plan.Most of the time I tried to do something it always end up undone.Because I find that computer itself is too distracting,and my mind keep giving way to procrastination,very difficult to find my focus zone.At times,I feel that I have a more easier time writing down my plans in a logbook.,my mind seems more crisp when I unplug from the computer.Like just now I actually planned to start doing my paperwork for my university studies.But when I saw this post,I felt very inadequate which is why I ended up sharing my problem with you guys here.

My all time earning stats is just like this:

Total estimated earnings $52.70

Pathetic.

How can I really really stick to my goal when my life disrupt them so badly.

I seriously want a way to plan everything to the end,taking into account all consequences,obstacles and twist of fortune that my reverse all my hardwork.

I am not computer,who can be loaded with so much information and still multitask so easily.

Hey flame copper,
I understand your pain. I've set up a few successful LITTLE, 'normal', businesses in my time and still run a couple of them but they don't make enough cash for me and I don't enjoy them.
I turned my attention to making money online because it seemed to tick so many boxes but mainly that alot of things you set up can eventually work virtually automatically:
BUT NO SUCCESS SO FAR ONLINE FOR ME AND I STARTED OCT 2009 and I only ever used a computer for excel & word (wasn't even online!)
I realise now I spent far too much time building my own site and not on how to get traffic but I'm remedying that now.

BUT I ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT GIVE UP! AND NIETHER SHOULD YOU....
One of the businesses I still run that earns me the most money, EVERYONE said it would be S**T. If I've learnt one thing in life it's about what you're willing to sacrifice to get what you want.
All my friends are conventional; 9-5 jobs, 2.4 kids, HOLIDAYS (lol) but not me, I want the f***ing lot and if you want that, you have to pay your dues....one step at a time. If it's p***ing you off. Take a break and look at it again with fresh eyes and be ruthless with yourself. I'm willing to ditch my website/product if it doesn't sell after I get enough traffic to it and move on to the next, (even though that will be VERY painful), pain is temporary and pain is there for a reason...to make you learn.
Keep going buddy

6 mths in black hat world,I have only make $50
Everyday,spend so much time reading information only to be overwhelmed and don t know which direction to take.
Sure I have followed some of your advise to focus only on one subject matter to develop my expertise on which is micro niche site.
At the start result is still not so bad,I made $5 in that mth,susequently I tried to create such website only to get even more confused with information overload.

It is very difficult to keep up esp. having to deal with unexpected stuff.
Read all the self help books,end procrastination,time management,end stress it still doesnt work out quite effectively.

You just stated above that you spend so much time reading and the answer is quite simple. Take action, just reading wont take you anywhere. Don't get distracted with the overloaded information on this forum. Decide what you wanna do and focus on only that until you become successful with that. I was in your shoes for a long time. I want to do this, I want to do that.. SO many ideas in my head. Now I only focus on one stuff. Make goals and give time to accomplish that one goal. Stop reading implementing is very important. Get yourself timetable and timer to do certain things in day to day life. Be disciplined and you will see the result. Don't give up because anything that is easy is not worth.

what a loser, get a job

 

[iseegreen]

you should go back to basics

just get blogger blogs and join a gateway company and you will make more than $50 a month .. with just about any content if you bookmark in social sites and use you-tube

but you need to find something your really interested in for the long term - as those things are more short term orientated as people move from latest thing to latest thing.

I am actually in the miltary right now.Because my country requires complusory conscription.Lucky for me 2 more mths and I am out.I am holding an important specialist appt but the overwhelming demand of the miltary have already made me ended up with depression...

In the mid sept I will be going to a prestigious local university for a computer science..I am also very worried I may bail out because of my mental health problem..

I am really envy of you guys..I need all the help of guys needed to clear the shit out of every single problem in my life so I can put all my attention all to IM.I really want to be one step ahead to achieving my purpose in life.

 

[angelas111]

you know, internet marketing is not for everyone. contrary to what others say it is okay to give up if it is not for you. some people have it some don't. your talents lay elsewhere. best of luck.

 

[flame_copper]

I feel that I have waste so much of time which could be put on better uses.

 

[metalfreek]

As a struggling newbie myself, I am at your situation as well. I have spend some $$$ and no results you. Every failure teach us something and this is exactly how we develop. Keep on trying and never loose hope. BTW i have spend $50 and till now zero return.

Best of luck to you.

People are encouraging him because that is why the op started this thread. If he was certain that he will quit he would have done it already!
To the OP: If this is what you want to do read the above carefully, follow the advice and you will find something that works for you.
P.S. Go to Fiverr and sell something people want there that you can deliver, quick easy money (not plenty but its a start).

why is everybody encouraging him, it's not for everyone, if you can afford to try longer then i say yes keep trying, if you are having money problems try getting a job you might like in stead of putting it all on this. by reading methods what people post in here it mostly means they are not as successful as they use to be, if you can't find your own methods independent from what you read then the success rate goes down a lot

 

[decadance]

YOU WILL JUST GIVE UP LIKE THAT! DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WILL BE CALLED? A PUSSY! SRY FOR LANGUAGE.... BUT DONT GIVE UP! NEVER... YOU WILL ALWAYS FAIL IN LIFE.

PEOPLE WHO GIVE UP = FAIL
PEOPLE WHO NEVER GIVE UP = WIN

Try designing, concentrate on designing, offer it , article writing or something, BUT DESIGNING IS BEST!

STOP READING AND WORK!

i'd find this rather irritating yet motivating...

i think that you should start make a move and stop being sissy..

 

[ixrumer]

Gotta be creative... innovation is the keyword... you might wanna try to follow a blueprint and develop your own ideas from there.

 

[tacopalypse]

looks like you need to find a self-help forum. bhw is mostly just about money making methods, and doesn't really have much to offer in dealing with motivational issues. 2 completely different things.

 

[rody00]

I think some people just have something in their brain that says "don't give up"

if you have that then your golden

I average 10% hit.
It means that I do 10 things. 7 end up losing money, 2 breaks even, and one is the goldmine.

This is the nature of business.
Funny, yesterday morning I woke up, logged into clickbank and noticed a strange conversion.
Sorted by TID only to notice the first conversion in 4+ months from a certain webpage I created.

This is the nature of business. 10% cover the rest. whether it be customers you end up losing on, or resources you create that do nothing...

Remember this:

"Fact that if you don't get the initial reward for something you do, it doesn't mean you are not making a progress".

If you divide the cake to enough working pieces, you won't have your income stream lost within a fraction of a change.
If you promote online poker for example; it means to maintain 15 portals, and not 1.

Think about it.

Exactly, people like you should give up because you give up easy. To be honest, I've been in that situation like a week ago, but I kept myself strong, I know I can do this, its just a matter of time.
