hello everyone, basicly i have all this knowledge about affiliate marketing etc and have had it for some time now. have read literally ebook after ebook on it and now really want to take the next step. But honestly it seems like alot of work for something that could fail and my time wasted. I can make quick $100 here and there already but then it soon goes on making my next quick $100 or more (hence the reason why im looking at something i setup and leave kinda thing for longterm income). i hear about people making thousands a day a week or a month with this kinda thing and i want a part of it.... BUT everytime i go to do something with my knowledge i hit a hurdle and the main one being is it going to be a waste of time even trying this one... i know once i get past that hurdle its going to be okay and i will make loads and loads of sites but its just this first step seems soo scary in a world of big fish so people what motivates you? btw im 17 never really worked a full time job... still living with my parents.... doing an online course next year in webmaster CIW and when i need some cash i go and make it online quickly a week in advance.... i dont know what i need ive read the books etc just need a lil something from all of you
There's so many different things you can do my friend, and age doesn't matter.. I only have 2 years on you and im making as much as a full time job would pay.. you just have to get your feet wet in what works.
I know exactly how you feel man. I've been at affiliate marketing for about a month and a half now and have only made a little over $200. The best advice I can give is to realize that you need to make mistakes before you can succeed. You also need to believe that what you are doing know will benefit you down the road in one way or another. Maybe not in the form of cash, but you will grow from it. Really though, I can totally relate to feeling unmotivated and lacking confidence in the work that I do. Hang in there man!
I am sure you know who Donald Trump is... Do you know how many times he failed? With getting $1000 000's of debt... with losing hundreds of hours on research... he still stuck to it and is now the richest man in NY... Just DO it!
ah well I am also your age, and I just over came my biggest hurdle towards my online bussiness. This hurdle my inabilaty to take action and too gather the confidence required to get started. You see i hit a slump HARD!! and it took me months to recover metally as I lost confidence in my ability to do IM, so i kept putting it off, and off, and off. I was afraid, afraid of wasting my time, afraid of loosing my money, but most of all I was afraid of failing Untill about 3 days ago when I thought too myself: "wait a minute in front of every one I possibly know Im known as a "though" guy one who sticks it out and does the nitty gritty to survive. So why am I scared of failing. there is no reason to be There is nothing wrong in failing as it is a part of life and it is what takes us to success. As the first step in success is generally failuire. Everyone has failied atleast once in thier life, there is nothing wrong in not seeing results, becuase that is what will make you stronger and can lead you too your goals. Remember what doesnt kill you can make you stronger... but only if you want it too!" As for your last question what drives me now is the possiblity of me becoming a coward by now going on...
thank you people i suppose i should just go for it okay tommorrow night (12 hours from now) i am going to start.... i have to you all have to shout at me if i dont

Get a job. It'll give you a big picture of what your life will turn into if you're not willing to take action. Plus my goal is traveling around the world, while affiliate marketing. That also motivates the hell out of me. Eventually you'll have to stop reading and start applying. In fact, start applying now and in your spare time read.
ye ive been trying to get a job but my mum use to work on literally £1k or less a month working hard days and long shifts my dad is an indipendent (self employed) financial advisor and he supports 6 kids himself and a wife... also now two bills from two homes (the house in england and our bills in france) hes on good money but still only left the office last year when we thought about the move to france and still he cant stay full time in france as he has to work... even when hes here he's busy working...only time he gets out of work is well never.. he has the new blackberry and is always answering emails or checking them or on the phone in the UK and popping back to his desk to answer an email or make a phone call. what sort of life is that? i dont want that and i know i never want to work a 'real' 'normal' job in my life... i found the internet 4 years ago now and have been making what i thought was big money $1k a month or less (sometimes nothing) but honestly its been alot of work to get what i now know is not alot at all (for what i want ) so ye getting a job would provide good motivation but then im working my ass of to get nought and will prob never get started on affiliate marketing at all as wont have the time and could just think oh i have money now so why bother.... i dont want that or a 9 till 5 or even part time job so ye update time 1. finished reading the bum marketing course and not even going to bother reading the last one... 2. found the article marketing section brilliant 3. wish i had never wasted money on other ebooks and just found these sites first they are well hidden i must say which is bad for people like me but good for the other affiliates selling probably the same or worse information 4. I WILL GET STARTED ON THIS TOMORROW AND HAVE ALREADY CHOSEN MY FIRST NICHE (800 searches a month 1 keyword phrase (so will write 6 articles and submit them to the 3 main article sites and wait to see what position i get, if i need to write more i will) also has only 192 other sites that are promoting that keyphrase so hopefully a good choice 5. Hoping to get my first sale sometime over the next week even if its only $10 or $20 commission it will just provide a big boost and make me realise that this IS worthwhile thank you everyone here for all your help and support you have been great
okay people quick update before i plow on and start promoting some products (well one to start with tonight) hopefully i will be doing this right *crosses fingers* going to be promoting as i said before one guy's products... he has i think 2 or 3 products so going to promote them all using his name mainly as a keyphrase to start with but then write a few articles with his product name aswell as keyphrases so getting double wammy of page ranking first gotta do some more keyword research on him to see what people actually want and if it will work as might find with more in depth research that i need to find something else... one worrying thing is that there are no paid ads brought for that keyphrase... maybe i am the first back on the bandwagon or just its only bum marketers promoting him... i know on the affiliatemarketing4idiots.com site they have an article promoting him and his products which must be good news will give you another update when its about 5am here or so as will prob be off to bed around then wish me luck people
Honestly I've known about SEO, clickbank, article marketing, BUM method, etc. for over a year and only now have really started to implement it. My motivation? My boyfriend is having a hard time finding work, and my one income is not enough to pay the bills. We're blowing through $1000 a month more than we earn - on top of that we're trying to renovate the house to sell it, so we're spending a lot on credit to do the repairs. Neccessity is the mother of...well lots of stuff. I hope no one else EVER needs motivation like I have it right now! I was browsing some articles today and saw something I'm going to try. The article called it the "Jerry Seinfeld GTD method" [GTD = getting things done]. Commit some time to working on your project every day, and even if you spend just a few minutes on it put a big X on that day on your calendar. The goal is to make long strings of X's - see how many you can get in a month - make it a challenge. I sounds so simple it might just work.
Some people only read/understand things but dont apply it.This is the problem with major peoples. I will advice you to do what ever you like and outsource what you dont like. means if you like to do research do it, while applying your research outsource work which you dont like .. This actually work for me so shared... And one more thing, believe in self else nobody will believe in you..
okay people have done my keyword research completely wrote my first article brought my domain working on the site now and the sales pich for the site have also brought two links on a finance site to 2 diff clickbank products for $5 lifetime links and there articles are being resubmitted to ezine etc... all being done by the site owner so no work for me hopefully get some sales soon from that
Once you emmerse yourself in this world, learning something new and finding out different things becomes a regular thing. Use these tips you find out jot them down. My personal method is always testing A vs B - The internet isn't going anywhere then again testing = time well basically your working on googles that being said keep pumping stuff out while you wait.
