Great going mate. You should definitely give some tips to newbies who need some advice. :d
Since BHW gave me knowledge which was shared by many great minds, i think i should give some too...
To all people who are fighting their way to make money online, I have only 3 words for you "Never Give Up".. I have been in Internet Marketing for 6 years and I havent earned a dime until today i made a fortune like my fellow members... Small or big once you earn money it will make more money for you...
I started doing marketing 6 years ago with Stone Evans as my first model he taught me only one thing: "To make money online either you have to invest money or invest time".. as i had no money i invested time..
I tried everything from Adsense and similar,Article writing,Youtube videos,Reading articles to get paid from ReadBud,Clickbank and affiliate marketing,Reading emails,reading SMS,referral schemes etc... whatever you find as a way to make money online ,you can find that in my dictionary...But no luck..All this knowledge led me to a crazy idea: CPA
Since CPA involves everything, I created my own formula : My KNOWLEDGE with most OF EVERYTHING = Advertiser's NEED FOR ACTIONS in CPA
Im not saying that I know everything..atleast i know the names of all money making techniques available... So went for CPA..Believe me it wasnt a good start at all. Fighted with all my soul dreaming that I will be a great Internet Marketer one day like Mike Filasme. Read a lot of books not on marketing but on how to have a better life. Whatever you do in the real world leaves a mark on the Internet world too. So its better to have your heart get ready for everything you re gonna face.
Each and everyday i used to scold god for not giving me anything and realized one day that God has nothing to do with my mistakes.I am the one who should be blamed for.I left the internet world kept myself at a little distant from people. Had my mobile switched off and i went to a calm place and started analyzing about my self. Written my weaknesses in a piece of paper and burnt it.After 3 days of serious thinking i understood that i was lazy. Again i came back with fresh mind and started working,still no luck. Went back to analyzing phase again and found my real mistake. It wasnt the laziness that stopped me IT WAS FEAR. Yes it was fear of doing something that no one had done before had stopped my progress all this time. Got rid of that damn fear once and for all. An easy way to get rid of fear is to face it bravely instead of avoiding it. If you feel the same as like i did, just record some voice of any tutorial and upload it in Youtube or soundcloud, this will make fear vanish. If you wanna go further upload a video about you.Fear will be gone once and for all.
My advice is stop messing with everything and concentrate on one thing
Always,I mean always have a website with your favourite niche coz it will help you all the way wherever you go
Spend some time in the real world talking to elder persons, their idea which they use in the real world can be directly implemented in the internet
Try to connect the real world and Internet as much as possible[In a good way].This will help you with source for creativity
some valuable lessons i ve learned in this 6 years:
Never believe in everything you hear or see
You cannot judge anything until you do it yourself
Choose your area where you are going to work i.e Choose Your Niche
Once you fixed your niche dont give up until you make money out of it
Once you earned some money invest it wisely coz it will multiply
You dont have to invest in everything, getting a good hosting and a domain name is a good investment too
Put your soul on what you are doing whether its in real life or internet world
My request to all is When you have a lot to spend do for it some poor children's education too coz Education open doors.
