Ugh, What do I do?

I have tried everything. I am 17 years old, and I have made $0.00 from affiliate marketing and I have tried since age 12 to make money online. (I have been doing web development since age 10- 7 years of PHP, HTML, and CSS) and still no luck of any income.

I have applied for a minimum wage job at my local grocery store, but I am limited on hours I can work. I have to wait a month to get the job, and they have not explained why either even after asking. I really want to make money from affiliate marketing; it is just a feeling of being left out.

By next month is homecoming for my school, I need some money ($230 or more) to get all ready for it. How can I achieve this from affiliate marketing? I can't make it in a day, I know that, BUT I can't even get sales from my blogs on ClickBank, and NOTHING converts. I also decided to use Blogger and Weebly to see if I can do it with little or no investment. Nothing is working, I have researched keywords and everything possible, you name it.

I also tried Eleavers.com for PPC, and I got 1 order form impression with a $20 investment. My niche was the same throughout as well.

What am I doing wrong? I have a few posts on a few posts with content I wrote (2-3 posts, some were scraped and posted on my site), however I am really bad at writing content, so I put it as "recommended products" as a lot of them with ratings.

Should I hire a person to write for me? And how much would that investment be, and what are the guarantees/assurances I could cash in a bit of profit?

I feel like I have it all wrong, that's why i thought I'd ask. I have applied for multiple jobs with low success, and the one I just got is making me wait until October, after homecoming, which didn't make me happy. As I stated before, I need to earn cash BEFORE homecoming.



EDIT: If I can straighten things out, I would probably use this as a long term extra cash in the pocket.

Ok so how many websites do you actually have, and what are their rankings and how do you monetize them? I have a hard time to belive that you haven't made a dollar online in 5 years!

Just set up a website targeting a 2500 GMS keyword and write 5 articles to post on it, then you write 5 more articles and spin those to 30-50 new articles to use as web 2.0 linkbuildning. Monetize the site with Adsense. You should have made your first dollar in the first 3 weeks following this easy method.

Well, I made $12 from CPA Lead, however I can't cash out until $50.00 minimum. I have 3 blogs, 2 domains that aren't even in use for anything other than email.


Thanks for the advice. I will do some work, but should I pay someone to write an article for me? And how long should it be?

why not yoy tried adsense works fine if you have some SEO skills if not hire and partner....

You couldn't make money from simple methods shared here? Well then tough luck, most people that have made money here aren't going to be charitable and give some imaginary secret formula. The truth is you gotta find a niche, research, analyze and then project and test. Everything deals on a psychological level, and finally everything deals with presentation and packaging with the psychology. Ad copy is a deep understanding of a prospects psychological thinking, every sale comes from understanding the benefits that said product or service provides, and understanding how to trigger a sale for those benefits.

Finally, if you manage to grasp that, you will be a millionaire. This psychological understanding of a group of people allows you to solve their problems, and solving problems makes money.

DarkMeta- I can't even get accepted into Adsense. I applied and they never even emailed me accepting me or not. So when I try applying again it says they're reviewing it. Any ideas?

If you have something cool at home you can barter up in Craigslist while your working on your sites.
