some advice for a newbie?

If you want to go down the route of freelancing, you could visit Fiverr and see what other IMs are doing to generate money, and see if you can do the same, things like writing articles, which many people can do, but might want to outsource the task to someone else while they concentrate on something else

 

so many useful advices

 

I agree strongly that it is a good idea to start with Fiverr where you can offer to write articles, create videos or whatever. Once you get satisfied customers you can try and upsell any back end products you have or any affiliate promotions. A good tip with Fiverr is to try and put a video on your sales page. Create a short video using Powerpont and Camtasia, put it on You Tube and then transfer it to your Fiverr page

 

If you want quick cash, your best bet is to post some kind of ad on craigslist, if you don't mind a bit of blackhat I can give you some pretty good ideas. PM me if you get stuck!

 

First of all you should have the right mindset to make money online. And it becomes easier if you stick with the niche you are passionate about, but the hottest and biggest niche is of course IM.

 

If you're zeroed on your PayPal. Then yes you can make money through freelancing - but can you offer a skill? Development? Design? Data Entry? Etc.
Also, yes its perfectly safe to hand out your personal details to some of the reliable companies out there.

 

My advice: learn. As much as you can.

 

you could really start with freelancing and get your first bucks here

 

to all of you:
thank you SOOOOOOO much. I think I fell in love with Digitalpoint forums&users. I've been flamed at in other forums. But here; everybody answered my questions without judging with prejudice. Thank you!

I'm always open for PMs for discussion.

 

i can program. and I can write articles.
what do you mean by data entry? could you explain this?

 

would you mind sharing your method? over here? or via PM?

 

150 bucks is A LOT from Fiverr, isn't it? I don't think I'll be able to make THAT MUCH I hope so, though.
What do you actually mean by autoresponder? I couldn't figure that out.

 

Digitalpoint forums are a gold mine, literally.

 

you always gotta begin somewhere, right?

 

If you just want to make $15 than write a couple of articles and sell them in the business section.

 

An autoresponder manages your list by collecting names and email addresses and responding automatically by sending out messages you have programmed.
Aweber is one of the best.
Their rates start at about $20 per month.
If you believe "the money is in the list" then you should use an autoresponder for building your list.

 

will do.
does the subject of the articles matter?

 

Before you start writing, do a bit of research and determine what people are looking to buy.

 

you mean like Google Adwords Keyword Tool?

do you have any tips?

 

No. I mean go to the content creation area of this forum - http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=102 - and see what kind of articles people are wanting to buy.
