    As i have just learnt about marketing online but whenever i tell anyone that i am doing a online marketing they just have one answer and that it it doesn't work anymore ..
    they tell me that go and get a job .
    write your resume nicely and they recommended me to this website and they say that doing marketing online is as same as playing lottery online as there a very few chances of getting success ..
    they also say that there are more chances of winning a lottery then to do online marketing ..
    i have also found that this website was very much useful for the people to win lotteries online ..
    so plz can anyone tell me that whether online marketing works or not or i should quit it now .. ?

    Yup @kaleelkr is right!
    Online marketing and advertising is most powerful industry today.
    For example Google & Facebook get most of their income from ads they serve.

    You need to start building a list in the subject matter of your niche. Then create a blog in that niche, put content on there and email your list about the content on your blog where they can comment. Once you have built a good reputation with your audience, people will buy because they know, like and trust you.

    lol. "everybody lies".
    internet marketing is one of the most powerful and promising kinds of marketing stuff. and it is not about lottery. Everything here is about constant analysis and working on your mistakes. Nothing more. No luck, no fortune of art. Just analysis.

    Yeah, there really is a lot of mis-information, scams, and nonsense out there : for sure. It can be very confusing for newcomers.
    You need to do a lot of study and research, trial and error. You need to try and fail, make a few mistakes.
    It generally takes most marketers 2 or 3 years to find their way, and start making some money.
    Be prepared to lose some time and money before you reach your goals.

    It's not necessarily impossible to do it completely for free, but usually much more difficult and time consuming.
    Most would strongly recommend that you will need to be prepared to put out at least a few hundred dollars in capitol.
    This is why you will probably need a 'day job' to start with: To pay for your Internet marketing.
    Get some advice on who are the best teachers out there. Take your time, make a list. Eliminate jokers and scammers.
    Avoid 'get rich quick' and 'auto push button' type schemes (If it sound too good to be true....).

    Find two or three teachers that have good impartial feedback, that you feel you can really trust.
    Then study everything they say and follow their advice. Learn and study their techniques.
    One of your biggest challenges will be your personal time management and project organization.

    The bottom line is : YES it does work. There are more than a few methods out there that really do work and will definitely make you a very good income.
    You need to be prepared to work consistently every day, studying and learning from mistakes as you go along.
    But my advice is to keep trying, don't quit, you will get there in the end, and it will be worth it :)

    Spot on. If you feel that you can become rich through a certain program within the next few days, then it will likely be a scam. Do it the legit way. Build a real business/brand.

    online marketing is all about content. You have to give people what they need. Useful articles, how-to videos, attractive banners... A lot of instruments. I would recommend to read some books on the subject.

    Along with writing and publishing informative content, it is also important to distribute it through the right sources. For example, if you have written a technical article and if you are publishing it on any health related website, then that is not going to work for you. It is important to make sure that the article written by you adds value to the website where it is published and it should also be valuable for the readers.

    Online marketing isn't that easy. You need to know a lot, you need to learn new things constantly, because lots of things in this industry change often.
    It's like a roulette only if you try it for couple months, find out you've earned nothing and quit complaining like "it's all scam it doesn't work". As any speciality it does work if you are diligent and persistent.

    Those who doesn't believe in online marketing, you can say that they are still in old school, they said we’ve always advertised in the yellow pages or we rely on word of mouth… we don’t need to advertise on the internet!
    But the fact is that
    In today’s digital world, many businesses intuitively know they should be marketing and advertising their products and services online. But the problem is that most are unfamiliar and unsure about the online environment, especially with social media. Many managers are looking for answers as to how and where they should start and how much budget they should allocate to this medium.

    So people are new to this field, it is possible that they don't want to change or they don't know how to change, so leave it to them and let us move on.
    Earning scope is large in online marketing.

    Hi there,

    I find a personal connection with this question of yours because I firstly started into online marketing at the age of 16 and after making $150 and spending almost $400 on "guru techniques", extraordinary secrets and other crap like that I have decided that online marketing won't work for me anymore.

    Then, a few months ago, I wanted to give it a try again just because I thought it changed or at least my way of seeing things and taking action changed. And yes the problem was my whole mind set. Now I had also some money I saved for investments (around $700) I also had some experience in web development and especially in WordPress development which helped me to save a lot of money as well as in graphic design which is my passion and my hobby.

    In fact what was the real major change in my mind set was the trial and error mind set. I haven't made a fortune by now but I have managed to test over 40 or 50 methods and tweaks which were my own and I still earned around $200 from this testing. So here is my opinion. If you want to win something in this online marketing you have to be persistent, you have to read a lot, you have to try a lot (and I mean hundreds of tweaks) and probably the most important you need to have something to offer.

    Let's say you are a great copy writer, then go and offer your service and earn some money. Same goes for web developers, graphic designers, SEO specialists, traffic specialists and so on. Having a service to offer is crucial in my opinion because it can still make you some money when nothing else works just in order to help you achieve your next goal. Let's say you need a domain and you don't have a dime to spend on it. You go, offer a service (maybe write a couple of articles) and then you have the money for it. This is why I say this could be an amazing asset for you.

    As a conclusion if you want to be successful don't quit trying and implementing different methods. Here the odds are against us because the numbers say that the chance of finding a method which will work is 1% to 5% which means that maybe you will have to try 96 methods to find one which works (mathematically speaking). And if you want information and you don't have money for e-books just go visit forums and offer to make reviews. This is how you can read a lot of useful stuff for free.

    My best regards,
    Rares

    the real words you have used here. to build a brand or business everyone should work hard. such type of program that show plan to become reach within a short time period is not a proper way most of time. Internet marketing is the best and proper way to make money online. Just need to work hard according to the right stratagy.

    Building a business or brand takes years. In this day and age, online marketing needs to be included in that building process.

    Online marketing success requires the same perseverance, patience, endurance and diligence that all types of busineses require for success. You can't do it overnight and it's more challenging than the gurus make it appear. However, with the right tools and the right education, you can make it. That's what we teach our affiliates.

    First you need a product or service to sell before online marketing can work for you.

    Online marketing has never been this useful without Google.
    First, try to focus more on SEO and link building so your business will rank on Google.
