    I think your problem is the "on and off" thing you're doing. Online marketing is a lot of work. Especially when you first start. It's harder work than a regular 8 to 5 job for most people. My tip is to dedicate yourself to it. Couple of hours everyday working on it. Spend time learning everything you can and implementing it.

    Good marketers are "con"summate salesmen. Whatever it takes to close a deal or get a foot in your door, they'll do. If they sell you on support, most support dissapears as soon as they have the cash, unless of course they have a bigger package to sell you once you're hooked. I'm not saying they are all like this, just the ones who make a killing. All you have to do is remove all emotion, lie without remorse and translate that into your sales pages. Learn to sell bridges. Once mastered, you too can be a successful marketer.

    If you see a Maserati or Ferrari in a parking lot, go stand next to it and have a buddy snap a few shots. There, you own a Maserati. :) First impressions are everything in a sales page.

    Never lose the patience remains the key in online earning . Maybe you would get just few cents in starting months but as the time passby you are surely gonna get huge profits. Just keep your mind focussed and don't lose the hope.

    market research- find a niche that isn't as saturated (most are). Then find something small.

    Find products you believe and trust in. Then make sure you have a actual crowd.

    There is no such thing as on and off. You need to treat it like a business and not a hobby, otherwise you'll be rewarded as a hobby. Every day marketing firms and companies have people waking up and going to work and working hours a day.

    Start very small. Set aside 1-4 hours daily. Then keep growing. I find 1-4 hours weekly to learn something new, exploring the web and writing about things. Live the law of nature. If you aren't growing you are dieing. Look at every plant out there, rarely does one 'stop'.

    If you want to really start making some money online, there is a solution, but I'll try to give you a general PROCESS. this is what you have to do

    1) Find a profitable niche FIRST (people try to find a product FIRST. this never works)
    2) design a ONE PAGE website about this NICHE.
    3) Generate traffic to it and build a list of people.
    4) promote RELATED NICHE products to that list.
    5) earn money.

    Well what do you enjoy doing? That should be your niche. So then it won't be such a chore to come up with information. It will come easy and you will enjoy doing it. Another thing to is you need to come up with a plan and stick to it.. it seems like you are bouncing around from one thing to another.. find one thing that works and stick to it until you see results. Once you see results then you can scale it up..

    The thing is everything you need to be successful is right under your nose. You just have to connect the dots and its hard because sometimes you can't see the dots :)
    Want a quick tip that you can try? Sign up with CLICKBANK and use BUM marketing. JUST DO IT...it works
    The main problem is that folks don't follow through, they don't act on the information they have. ACT...you know what to do...even though you may not realize it yet :) GOOD LUCK!

    my advice is find an actual industry. make cupcakes, sell cars, CPA lead is rough money one day, the next you're gone. there's a million people trying to make quick and easy cash, but not as many trying to bust hard on a real business that has real value to users.

    - make sure that you are in the product that you going to sell and make sure that your product do have the need in the market
    - do some research on your product and service how to provide to them with value added service such as more service, some promotion or anything compare to competitors.
    - analyse your primary and secondary market well and find the way to market to them.
    - Do learn how to increase the traffic, increase PR in search engine and increase the conversion rate.
    To be a good marketer, you need to be work hard, smart and patient. Do calculate the ROI of every marketing decision.

    Have a look at some of the sites you would like to emulate, see where they are getting their backlinks from, and try and emulate them in your own niche, simple small steps like this is the way to go
