Why aren't you a millionaire?

Yes and I always interview them, but most of the time sellers (especially SEO), do not provide much information to protect the service. So I am always betting and losing.

If someone could rank a website for $150, would you think they will do it for their own website and earn every month or do it for a stranger for a small fee of $150?
The Marketplace is 99% crap, that is ture, but that is because the industry is like that. Just like the 99% of SEO Agencies that are crap as well.
But that doesn't make the entire website bad. The content available to you here is free and better than anywhere else. Those 1% of Marketplace sellers that are honest and sell honest products or services are better also than anywhere else.

Combining the 1% of the Marketplace and the free knowledge you can get can make you a millionaire. I am sure of that.

I'm not having a go, I think this could just be a good discussion, everyone is welcome to their opinions and I respect members who share their experiences here for us all to learn from.

People selling packages for $150 are selling a part of the puzzle which is SEO. Anyone with any understanding of SEO or even just real world expectations will know for $150 you are not going to buy a service that changes your life.

You should be looking to mimic strategies of existing and successful websites, it might take several products/services to do this but it's down to you to do your homework before you buy, if you are building websites and randomly throwing links at them you are doing it wrong and probably burning cash.

Ultimately this entire industry is people putting their fingers in the air and making their best guess in what Google want and how they define a good website. No one has inside information (and even if they did Google put out 1600 algo updates last year so it would be out of date before you could implement anything). It's all about finding what works for you.

Not everyone can afford to spend $$$ experimenting, I get it. So try and look at sites ranking on the front page of Google for your keywords and mimic what they are doing, it's clearly working for them or they would not rank.

Go and search some of the more hotly contested SEO industries (affiliate markets tend to be more interesting) like weight loss or pharma and rip apart the sites in the top 10. You can learn a lot from what people are already doing with a bit of thought and when you spot patterns of what works find services that help you replicate what people are doing.

I'm constantly impressed with our sellers, I've reviewed 95% of the threads that have been approved in the last 14 months or so. There are some great products available for very little money and they are not all from the more "celebrity" sellers. If "99%" of the services here don't work for you then you have to consider the possibility that maybe you just used them wrong. I have a much better success rate than 1% with the services I reject.

Just my 2 cents.

why I aint a millionaire with affiliate marketing?
cause each valuable keyword has like top10 convered with high DA sites fighting like gorillas.
and page 2-3 are covered with vultures, fighting over a dead mouse and using PBN s and crap.
it aint 2012 anymore. sadly..

so, in 2017 I turned around selling the sh1t to people that are trying to beat vultures and gorillas
kind of like it.

then you should relocate to some other country.
but I guess you are into "extras" and overtime. thats expensive.

Regarding the marketplace...

There are so many options out there, some suck, some are good. Of course you can't just buy everything and become a millionaire, that's not how it works. Like it or not, work has to be put in, and not just '' buy all of these things'' work.

That's true, your money will be flush if you try all services in one day without experiments.
All have there own secrecy, no one is going to tell you that except rare process through which you can experiment in your own way and get earn. If you try all business in one day none were success, so better go for one and give them time before getting failure.
You have to be thankful that atleast here people sharing there ideas to do more business and earn in your way otherwise no one in the world had time for anyone to explore details about any work/business.

For sellers like that (if they are not your type) simply don't buy. No one force you. I persoanally don't outsource seo cause i like SEO and i have found it makes me happy (when i do myself ) I outsource all my needs here for outsource ex . private proxies , content , paypal documents , gsa ser lists , human captcha solution and list go on.... Everything is great and i am a repeatable customer.

This would be very unhealthy. The cheaper it gets, the more I do.

Because it's not that simple. You have an inflated mindset of how much $$$ you can attain. People like T0mmy, who is a powerful influencer earns ~$1 million dollars/ year(or is that only from a project?) and that's after a ton of struggle. 7 figures is reserved to outliers, not average people.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying you can't attain it, however don't expect it to be a simple milestone. Most of the people don't take action, as they probably manifest in their mind earning money which actually steals any motivation from your brain to take action since they already "completed" that task.

I'd say that the problem is not from the market, but from the individual itself. People don't understand the importance of long-term investement, they want easy money, with no effort, without understanding that it takes some time/work to achieve it.

People aren't made for entrepreneurial stuff because our brain is looking for guaranteed reward. That's why somebody is prone to break his neck to complete work for somebody, but not himself. This, and the fear of losing his job of course.

Obviously, if anybody would overcome this hurdle, then anybody would take action, creating competition, but since I know how difficult is to focus for an extended amount of time, I can safely say that's not the case.

Peoples perception of an seo service is miles apart from the guy next in a thread.

Still see some people come on here thinking a $5 blast from Fiverr will get you to page 1.
Others appreciate that they have a difficult niche but think their $500 a month is sufficient. Sadly the top 3 sites are paying that a week or a day.

Yes there are some crap services on here, but my gut feeling is the shady sellers provide their utmost best for the review then let standards slip later on.

Learn to play the system dude. You're not gonna get rich using other peoples services and especially not right away. Invest in what you need then as you make profit build your empire. Some of those services are just for convenience and others are only practical if you're already banking in with multiple clients. Also find ways to cut your expenses.

You are using the wrong services if you are not a millionaire. You need to be using Paul and Angela links.

IF so easy, everyone would become a millionaire. Treat it as side/extra income.

One of the ways to create wealth is to have multiple flows of income. This is where most of the people mess up.

You're absolutely right. 95% of the sellers on this forum sell some kind of useless stuff that only distracts you. None of it works.
