This is a post I've already made in "The faliure Thread", but I think, this would be so important "how-to-start" knowledge for you, that I decided to innovate it, and start a new thread in Making Money section.
First of all, as you know: wise guys learn from other people's faults, and the idiots from their own. So, if you wanna be a wise guy:
My BIGGEST FAILURES were:
- always looking for the "next big thing" and NOT TAKING ACTION AT ALL. (Tis type of "Not taking action" can be actually described with a phenomenon called "analisys paralisys". You know, when you are always after the newest actual laziest and most profitable "magic method".)
- fucked up my time with shitty porn stuff, fun stuff, chatting hours with friends
- whining that nothing happens, or how shitty life is
- I had absolutely NO PLAN, and NO time management
- AND I could not really imagine that people actually would buy my product. (Or you can imagine the same situation as if you're promoting other people's stuff as well.)
IF YOU DO THE SAME THINGS THAT YOU SEE ABOVE, STOP THEM - RIGHT NOW!
Those are all daydreaming, and living a half assed life my friends. I became a master of how to find all the newest stuff, and was f*ckin' happy with how smart I was ONLY FINDING AND READING IT...
...then jumping on the next stuff and NO FREAKIN' ACTION AT ALL. I had been doing it FOR YEARS.
Ok, I've became the master of an other thing as well: how to find the laziest, but fairly profitable jobs, ever.
But one day I've made that serious decision: "NOW, I really wanna make it as an internet marketer." And I did quit my job, "burned all the bridges behind me", looked for a profitable niche, and started to write my very first own ebook. (I do NOT recommend anyone to quit before earning a reasonable amount of STABLE income from IM. This was only my "hardcore way", 'cause I wanted to literally force myself doing it.)
Then I've set up a website, started to market my product in classified ads (jeeez... don't do it... or, let it be one of your very last sources... but, of course it depends on your market.)
Ok, after that I've learned some SEO, moved to Web 2.0 properties, blogged, social bookmarked my stuff... etc.
Enough of story, here's how to take action:
WHAT WOULD I SAY IF A NOOB ASKED ME HOW TO GET STARTED?
==================================================
1. Find a niche - a market where you can sell your stuff (WHAT u gonna sell is only SECONDARY.)
Blackhat World's "The Niche Guide - Intro & Part 1 (Finding A Niche)"
AND
"The Niche Guide - Part 2 (Understanding your target audience)"
My suggestion: First, find a niche on a topic that would be profitable AND which one you are INTERESTED IN, wanna know more about, and love even the idea of it.
2. Get on ClickBank and find 2 or 3 appropriate top selling products about THE SAME TOPIC you gonna write about (selected by top gravity, and make sure these ebooks are really about the same topic and are competition to each other)
3. Go and search some articles about the topic u wanna write about on top quality sites of the niche.
4. Outline the TOP NOTCH IDEAS from the ebooks you've purchased, (all the ideas that YOU think would be important to know), and write them down as if you would talk about them to your best friend who'd be interested in the topic. Imagine "Joe", and start to talk about this knowledge from A to Z.
Keep in mind that "Joe" - although he's your best friend - DOESN'T have any degree, so he's a veeery "simple" guy.
Now, you have the basics.
5. NEVER COPY AND PASTE. ALWAYS INNOVATE. Spice the whole thing up with ideas from articles you've found on top quality sites - where u think it would be a PLUS, NECESSARY to know about a selected sub-topic, but the ebooks didn't talk about 'em.
After u finished, here u go, you've got your very own ebook. Make sure u talk about things in your very own style. (What is that? Start to talk to your imaginary friend. That's it. )
6. Now u need your QUALITY website and wanna get quality traffic on it.
Here u go: Download John Reese - Traffic Secrets 2.0 video course from here, blackhatworld:
It will be a little bit tricky to find all the working download links, but you will find them, if you browse through the entire thread. Then, WATCH THE FULL FREAKIN' COURSE - AND I'M NOT KIDDIN'!
AND TAKE NOTES!!! - THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT!
WRITE DOWN EVERY TINY BIT OF THE TECHNICAL DETAILS!
Then google: "make your words sell" -and download this free ebook.
John tells u how to get that traffic, and "Make your words sell!" gonna tell you how to write a killer sales letter from A to Z. TAKE NOTES HERE AS WELL!!! WRITE DOWN THEW STEPS AND YOUR IDEAS!
7. Get a PayPal button on your site in order to be able to accept payments - see on their website how you can do it.
8. Get a KILLER linking strategy for your website:
That's all.
That's my idea on how to start, and how NOT TO get lost in the tons of info as a noob.
Don't whine that you can't do it, or how to chop the info into chapters or this is a lot of stuff to learn... and "what if", "what if", "what if"...
...JUST DO IT! START IT RIGHT NOW! <--- 'Cause this is the EXACT STEP, where WE ALL f*cked up first RIGHT BEFORE making money.
P.S.: Believe all the time, and SET PAINFUL DEADLINES TO YOURSELF! (E.g.: if you don' finish the first chapter in 3 days, you gotta eat some kinda disgusting cat food! And bet on that deadline with a cruel friend of yours who definitely will force you to do the eating if you don't finish - hint: you gotta get LIGHTNING SPEED in doing things AND developing the skill to set the right deadline. )
And after the first few sales comes in, you become to believe even more. And then u gotta start the whole thing over, to set up your second money stream.
I hope I could help. (Please don't PM me for "further details", or any other stuff cuz I'm NOT coaching anyone and I'm NOT selling any product or service about this topic. It was a simple and effective idea that popped out my mind and just wanted to share it.)
BUT, please, if you have success with this "method", or something similar, post it here. Then others can see an other proof (out of the gazillion around this forum) that it IS REALLY possible to make REAL money online.
