Hey guys! Sorry fo the long post, I don't want to waste your time so just jump to questions line if you don't feel like reading.

I'm Andi, 30 years old, with a 9-5 job, not a bad one, but because of poor life choices thinks are almost reaching rock bottom on all levels, especially money. To get an idea, around 800$ salary, with 450$ monthly debt. I've been a forum member since years, but only read it from time to time without taking action - big mistake.

I would like to thank everybody that take the time to post methods, answer questions and to all the contibuitors to this forum: THANKS!

Also a big thanks to the ones that are still learning and asking some very basic questions - from a beginners/noob point of view that is bringing a lof of value. Why? Because what seams so easy and a no brainer for the ones that do it for a long time, it looks like running a marathon in the dark for the ones that just start in this journey.

The amount of info/methods is amazing, but overwhelming for somebody just starting this online making money journey.
I'm getting the feeling that I land to late on each and every method, I get stuck in details, I have to little knowledge on everything related to IM, I jump from idea to idea, I can't decide with what to start because budget is an issue si I end up reading a lot of methods, success stories and get frustrated and so on.

I'm guessing that a lot of people who earn 3/4 figures a day, did not start the journey just recent, but more likely at least 3-4-5 years back, when it was easier to earn.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't things much harder now then when you started earning? Especially for somebody with clkse to 0 knowledge..

How many of you, starting today, 3 Feb 2019, with the personal resources(knowledge, budget, time
) that you had at the time you started and with the competition from today woukd be successful? Your answers will help me a lot, not on the bussines side, but on mindset.

----------------------------------Questions----------------------------------

1 - is it unrealistic, or too late or hard for somebody with a almost no experience, tight budget and time to start earning a side income in 2019?

2 - what would be a good way to start in this conditions? I am reading a lot about dropshipping and it seams a good ideea to start, but the fact that PayPal could hold your founds and some legal questions that I could not find answers for are holding me back. Also, is AliExpress relaible? Would dropshipping digital items would be better? Any suggestions is higly appreciated!

3 - is retail arbitrage using amazon a good ideea considering I live in Europe? All the business would be done online.. finding offers online, buying and shipping directly to Amazon(not sure how to do this, still learning)

4 - CPA - I know you need money you make money with CPA but are there some methods that still work in 2019 without a lot of investment? I have a Peerfly account if that helps..

There are still a lot of wuestique spinning in my head and the worst is that I have no clue with what to start.. a lot of ideas are appealing but I feel I am too late on the train and don't know where to start..

Any idea/suggestion/help/criticism would be grestly appreciated! Thanks in advance and also thanks for all the things you share with the bhw community!

I will not post an answer to all your questions but no, its not too late to start. If you have the motivation, focus and drive then just start learning and go for it, its better to start later then never. I like this saying; the only difference between you and your goals is the bullshit story you are telling yourself. Pick one thing which interests you the most and stick with it until it works, most of the stuff shared on this forum still works one way or another even though it was shared back in 2012 or even 2010.
 
Its hard to earn money from IM, how ever the money definiton here different. Most people enter IM exexpecti they will be rich within months, which doesn't happen of course. (And come whining)

However to make 30 - 50$/day its really easy.

Wanna know how easy? Offer writing service and write good articles for others. 2 good articles/day will get you those 50$ .. see, people just like to complicate stuff :)

Where do you get such offer ? I mean where do i sell my service for example if i am able to write a top-notch article
 
Ha, I have written a lot of 'review type' articles over the years for a handful of websites, including my own, but I'm dubious to offer my services because, as a solo writer, I would hate to get flooded with article requests and let people down due to time etc when I have a 9 to 5 (more like a 7 till 6!) job....!

Some good points raised though!

Writing and especially writing good stuff isn't for everybody. Don't you agree? I'm not a man of words, I think..
 
Hope is not to late....cause I have started reciently.....the thing in case is that I do not have the money but I have the time, so I’m putting together my own product while learning all I can IM related
....I know I’m going to get a living from here...sooner or later
 
1. No you aren't too late there are some shifts but not to worry.

2-4. Firstly you don't dropship digital products since they don't need shipping. I would advice regular affiliate marketing mostly like offers from clickbank and Amazon. If you want to go the CPA route look for decent paying offers on peerfly. Check out related keywords on google keyword planner.

Find low competition low search volume keywords and make youtube videos targeting those.
 
It's never too late, but of course IM is becoming harder every day.

Have you ever thought about opening a simple blog?

Quick example:

I have a friend that owns a educational blog website. He gets essay/assignment topics from students and then he writes a 1/2 k words article and then post them in his blog.

He worked very hard, he was posting 5 articles a day and currently he has around 2000 essay/assignments all made by him (it took him around 2 years).

But now he is getting 20-30k daily visitors and earns around 10k every month. Now he has hired content writers to write content for him and he is living a good life!

(Choose a niche that you like and that you are mostly interested in. Otherwise you might find yourself bored and probably you'll quit it.)

See exactly what I'm talking about.. when I mean dropshipping digital stuff, I meant to get it from somewhere and resell it for a profit.. but this requires traffic, which is hard for me to get.
When you say 'make YouTube videos targeting those keywords, what do you exactly mean? What kind of videos? Just sildeshows of images with sound? How will that get monetized? See.. my mind is not wired yet for this stuff..

I thought of a blog, some time ago. A blog about football betting, with tips and stuff.. but I don't have talent at writing and also my tips are not so good. Also, I'm not too passionate about something in particular in life, still searchids my soul.
 
The best time was yesterday the next best time is today, never is to late.

The problem is you have fallen part of the shiny object thing, when you see to many methods and do nothing of them.

Select 1 method and learn all about it and just fkin stick with it. Everything is possible
 
From my point of view priot to 2016 IM was very easy for a beginner, very easy to spam facebook, instagram, it was easy rank videos in youtube and i was making good money with chaturbate and uploading porn, Starting from 2017 all was really harder, accouunts get deleted, videos dont rank y monetization is lowest than ever in any method.

It is never too late to start anything and most importantly don't care from some immature responses from guys like @mcdollof @McJenkins

It's never too late. Focus on what do you know the best ( photo/video edit skills, content writing, etc ) or try to learn WordPress ( it's not so difficult, and you can find thousands of free tutorials ). Start from the base and focus on one thing. The most common factor in fail is focusing on more areas of work. Good luck!

Some good tips there.

Sure IM has got a little harder but not impossible. There are always people looking for graphic design, web design and content creation. But all these things will take the time investment to learn and get proficient. So you need to be committed and determined to remain in it for the long run. Unfortunately, so many fall for the illusion of quick cash and living on a beach somewhere making passive income. When this doesn't happen in a few weeks they throw in the towel and move on to the next shiny object. If you work hard and put in the time the money will come.

How would you make $25 from one article? I go to the content righting section and people are charging around $7/1000 words
