OP.
You're very likely NOT gonna make money cause you are desperate as hell and already starting off on the wrong foot. Coming onto a money making forum and asking how to make money is like walking into a store full of bread and asking, "where's the bread"?
That's what lazy mfkrs do.
There are thousands of different methods. Thousands of different ways to get traffic. Thousands of ways to monetize.
There is no right or wrong. There is no "best". A lot of people on here get obsessed with methods and fads rather than the most fundamental basics of capitalism.
Here is how capitalism works in a nutshell (I can't believe I'm explaining this):
1) A crowd of people with or without money want something.
2) You create / provide the most potent form of what they're looking for and take their money either directly, or from advertisers.
It's the exchange of money from person A to person B.
You want to be person B.
The reality is, this is actually very easy to do. So easy that I'd be a millionaire if I simply had the work ethic to put all my ideas into action. But I don't. Cause I have a bad habit of getting complacent once I hit the "average" mark.
Combine this knowledge with what Thomas Jefferson said, "It's easy to stand in a crowd full of people, it's not so easy to stand alone".
In marketing, capitalism in general.... that means a lot.
Lots of guys on here are busy chasing each others tails. Other guys methods. Trying to figure out what everyone else is involved in. Which isn't stupid. But when you do it to the point that you neglect that there is a sea full of original and profitable ideas that's when it becomes a problem.
You can do anything you want. Just type, "I want" into Google. Or "how can I". Or "where to find".
You'll find millions of people telling you exactly what they need.
Then all you do is find a sub category in some ever green niche, produce or compile a huge list of things PEOPLE NEED, produce/compile what they need then >>>GIVE IT TO THEM. But lock the product so they're forced to do you a favor before they can get it.
It's really that simple.
Another brilliant thing to do is figure out what PEOPLE NEED before most people even realize it. Like my brothers good friend. Guy is a total idiot. But he was smart enough to identify a need people weren't even aware they had. He was a painter, so he created plastic snap on caps for brushes and rollers. Got a patent. Went on shark tank, and now the guys got these stupid things stocked all over Home Depot. He was also on Shark Tank as well.
The point is... this was some uneducated idiot. The guy has the brains of a goldfish. And in a weird way, that stupidity turned out to be a very profitable asset. Cause when he first showed me and my brother his dumb little invention, I thought ... "wtf... people just use plastic bags". Then he said, "no, these are different, you can store wet brushes and rollers in them for years without going bad". I still thought it was stupid.
But GUESS WHAT? I'm not a painter. So I don't know wtf painters really want. And he was able to identify something I'm sure many painters have thought about, but not a single fucking 1 actually took action and did anything about it.
The guy is rich as fuck now.
Cause of a couple of stupid plastic cases.
And there is something very profound about that story. Which is this: It doesn't matter how smart or how stupid you are. What separates the winners from the losers is 1 thing >>ACTION.
There are billions of dollars being exchanged every day.
All you need is a very tiny fraction of a fraction of a fraction of that piece of pie to do well for yourself.
Don't overcomplicate shit. Right now, for all I know there are a group of people in this world who are dying for some dog food seasoning. Why do we have dog foods, diabetic dog foods, all natural dog foods, dog treats, dog everything, etc.... but no dog food seasoning? I don't know. But I do know there are some fickle fucking dogs out there who have to be coerced just to eat their food. Imagine if you could make some tasty fucking seasoning you could sprinkle on any brand of food, and dogs would just chow that shit up like crack.
Do you think people would buy it? I think so. Who fucking knows? People will buy anything.
And that's the whole point. You just gotta think like a a capitalist and recognize opportunity. Produce shit people want or need then just give it to them. Cause at the end of the day, most successful marketers on this forum... that's all they're doing.
There's no secret other than to take action, test, find what works then scale.
