I started just to see if I could make a buck online. Then I made my first sale, now I'm hooked. All the info for success is located somewhere in this forum. Our job is to find it! Good luck all.
My first time was around 6 years ago. So many internet marketer gurus come out of nowhere with their big screenshot of full blast of digits, which I can never imagined to get in such short time. My first course is Stephen Pierce. After reading his material I only get this... "Headache headache headache... where to start...???" Ok... maybe the full course via online might just not work me. So... I buy the Mike Filsaime workshop material. They sell it after the workshop (smart way to make money even after the workshop ended). After studying it... still the same "headache headache headache all the way......" Ok... I try the stuff.. put some courage... but ... alas... none of it making money. Keeping my primary income job is already hard enough while stealing time to do internet marketing stuff. My first dime is on the november 2009, got my first income from adsense after 5 years of blogging in the middle of nowhere and reach $100 threshold... I really2 don't want to discuss the pain to reach there... After met someone who really2 make money, I try to approach and learn from him personally. The effect? The first month I did with his technique I got $100 (last month actually :lol: ) So... Moral of the story. You lose money in business you lose a little, you lose friends, you lose some, but when you lose your faith - you're losing everything. Keeping the faith part is the hardest for me. I don't know with the rest of you... Any story to share?
Well I also started about 7 years ago part time by following the so called gurus. I`ve bought a truck load of their products which brought me to Nowhere. Then I started to think outside of the box and developed my own method. Today I´m a full time internet marketer and have several income streams. Am I a millionaire ? Heck NO, but I have a very comfortable living and I enjoy being my own boss and living the 20 hours work week.
I got a job out of high school working with an internet company and saw the money they were pulling in. I thought it would be easy to imitate their success but I was so wrong!
I started pushing traffc direct to my sales page, with little success, people hate been sold to from the very start. So now i send all my traffic to my squeezepage/optin page, and build my list. with quality follow ups........... Forget everything else, you should only be sending your vistors to your landing/squeeze page. where you will be building your list, and it wont be long when your list is big enough, to monotize it.

It's always better to test the grounds yourself, approve what others are saying and do your own thing .. No one is going to sell you the "road map" to success because there is no such thing... you need to implement some strategies yourself, fail a few times before actually building and concreting a solid business online.

I started doing auto blogging and freebie offers. I am now building my list and using Prospex marketing system to get traffic and leads to turn into my primary business.
