    I am willing to take my first step towards Internet marketing with zero knowledge. Its an effort to show that people like me with no knowledge of internet marketing can believe in the system and take a plunge.

    Looking out for a mentor who can guide me in this pursuit.

    This is what I have to begin on this project

    • No knowledge of Internet Marketing.
    • No HTML knowledge
    • No programing knowledge
    • No Graphic design knowledge
    • No copy-writing experience
    • A laptop with internet connection
    • 3 hours per day to spare
    • $ 20

    If you believe you can mentor me to begin this project and take up this challenge do message back.

    There are very few of us that make $1000 and those who do are too busy making that money to be able to mentor anyone.
    Your best bet is to read the forum and get tips from the community. If you have specific questions, feel free to ask and you'll get replies.
    Best of luck.

    I agree, and as someone who's been a full-time Internet Marketer for years, my best advice to you OP is to go in with an understanding that it takes A LOT of work and dedication. Like gordon said, I don't see anyone who's doing well in IM who's going to want to give you mentoring unless you're willing to pay them for their time.

    Good luck if you dive into it

    Maybe you need a chance.There are too many examples for people to benefit from the internet over one night.
    I don't know whether you have this good chance or not.But maybe you can learn something by heart.When
    you have prepared well,chance will come.As to what you should learn,it depends on you.We can't help you anything.

    Yes, I think Ryan's hit the nail on the head really.

    You seem to have a zero budget ($20 and zero are the same as far as business goes I'm afraid). I think that $1,000 is a modest target, and very attainable with the right strategy, and time/effort invested.

    All business is about owning some asset and getting that asset to generate money. For example, if you have site design skills, that's an asset. You can then go out there and make this asset earn money by getting business.

    You seem to be starting from scratch - so think carefully about things like which niche/area you want to get into. A lot of people pick over-populated niches, or niches with zero money...so choose wisely. Also, train yourself in areas like basic site design and traffic generation skills. If you can do that, you can even build sites, drive traffic to them and flip them for cash. There are people making a full time living doing this alone.

    Your aim of $1,000 is being attained by countless people online - but, to get there they all have worked very very hard.

    My advice is to focus on one method and don't get distracted. The reason why so many people fail online is because they get over whelmed and distracted by all the different money making methods and offers that you are bombarded with. So firstly, forget all the "too good to be true get rich overnight" offers and methods...then pick one sound method that you know works for other people (e.g. website flipping or adsense sites etc) then read read read and ask questions to learn all you possibly can from those who do it successfully...focus on that until you get results, don't get distracted! Good luck :)

    My very first venture online cost me about that, and I made about 1500USD in ~2-3months. It's definitely possible, but unfortunately nobody cares enough to walk you through everything you know. Why, you ask? Well, because they have better things to do that help someone who's too lazy to read.

    Well, there are lots of free articles and ebooks that you can read on internet marketing, as well as free softwares that can help you for example in setting up your website. Just do searches on the search engines such as google.com and yahoo.com and I am sure you will get some good materials to start with. All the best Reniee

    Here's my two cents, for what its worth:

    Instead of trying to 'take a plunge' now, save up a bit more money. And while you are saving, start to read some general Internet Marketing material and/or watch any of the numerous videos on the subject. There are plenty of resources to be found.

    After you've saved around $100 then you can buy a domain name, get hosting, and acquire some backlinks. Sure you can get a free website at various places, but it will be vastly more difficult to hit your target goal going that route. After you have your own top level domain then you can start link building. A lot of link building can be done for free. For example you can create Squidoo pages, submit articles to directories, social bookmark your site, etc without spending a dime.

    The old axiom "it takes money to make money" is true. You've got $20 and that's a start, but to have that exponentially multiplied all by itself is pushing pure fantasy. If you were to take that $20 and double it, I wouldn't suggest you immediately go out and spend your profit. I'd actually suggest to reinvest that into your business so you can continue doubling your return. Spend the money on building links to increase your PageRank. Once your site has decent PageRank you can sell links from your site, sell blog posts, better solicit affiliates, etc.

    It is definitely possible to create a solid foundation without any real HTML, programming or graphic design skill. The bottom line is that however you decide to make money will take effort on your part. This is true both offline and online.

    Now that I have so many mentors here to guide me with your 2 cent advices, I am gonna work my way to make my 1st $1000 with your support. The steps involved and the mistakes I make to achieve this $1000 will be penned down to bring out my first ebook product.

    so wish me luck and looking forward to your support in guiding me to achieve this target.

    Start off with a blogger account and apply for adsense after a few posts and do some freelance work if you can write, much more the better. Granted making $1k a month on a regular basis will take you at least a year or more to achieve.

    Let's see how serious you are. Here's your break down and it will work because I've seen people do it already and it's only been 9 days so far since this company was launched. Here we go:

    1- Spend $9.95 and sign up for your first month
    2- Save the other $10 left over to cover the following month until you get your commission check
    3- Spend your 3 hours on forums, craigslists and yahoo answers promoting your new business (be careful how you promote, nobody likes spamming)

    If you start now, do those 3 things I've stated above based on your criteria and by the end of the month you don't make at least $40 bucks residual monthly income, come back here tell me and I'll personally send you your $9.95. Money talks Bullsh*t walks.

    Here's the company www.Site2Text.com (not affiliate link as I'm an investor in this company)

    Do that and make that happen and I'll consider mentoring you on other projects but you have to prove yourself.
