Hello everyone, I am new here but not so new to internet marketing. I have been doing affiliate marketing, adsense(banned), blog(too stupid to even write) for about a year now. However, i have been losing money ever since. It's impossible to earn anything online. Please don't take this as a begging, i just would like to pour out some of my sadness that had been around for some time now. I feel that the more i do things online, the more I feel like an idiot. I even lost friends because i keep doing things online and because my surrounding don't believe that there is money to be earn online. Moreover, my level of socialisation had been badly affected since i am alone at home. My friends used to ask me out but they ignored me now because i am doing internet marketing. They seem to hate it so much, i am not sure why. Last 6 months, i feel like quiting too. However, some people online said: "you have to keep going and believe that you will make it. BELIEVE IT" That's why i keep going but, nothing happens... Well... I feel much better now. thanks for giving me this blank thread to pour my feeling out...
LiveAction, I'll try to offer you a little bit of advice and motivation... Never EVER say that you're too stupid to do something, particular blog writing. ANYONE can write entries and be remotely successful with it (even if it only results in $5/day or so), regardless of their level of intelligence or knowledge of things. I can think of one REALLY successful blogger that totally sucks with spelling and grammar and yet their blog attracts thousands of unique visitors and (I'm presuming) thousands of dollars in revenue every day. It's all about believing and applying yourself. Internet marketing may be hard, but so is anything out there. Everything requires work, and it's unfortunate that internet marketing has been portrayed as a "get rich quick" job, because it certainly isn't. A lot of people have been suckered into IM'ing and only realize that it isn't as easy as they thought it'd be AFTER they spend hundreds on the next best millionaire-tomorrow scheme. Hang in there buddy, Liam
Unfortunately YES. ... there can be no alternative to a thoughtful deed and an honest hard work ... even for making a living. So get going .. putting in your best into the things you love to do and ... road to success will be carved on its own (with bit of a luck).
Try to get a real life job but at the same time still work for a couple of hours on your web business .. you still have a chance.
I would say you just don't give up but just sit down and think where you failed. Why you are not able to pull up with internet income whereas others are doing well. At least you can carry on with adsense blog. If you are unable to write good unique articles, you can buy them, get backlinks of good sites purchased and start getting traffic. Then search your answers on the net itself from google search. Increase your knowledge. All this is ultimately going to help you. Quitting is very easy for any one but what counts is sticking to your mission and getting the result. If you quit without getting desired result, you will be nowhere.
