What is the best way. To learn step my step. Click by click. To earning an income online through IM. Im really looking to get started with this. And searching the forums and trying to put things together myself hasn't really worked out. Would anyone on here recommend hiring a mentor or what should I consider? Im wanting to earn between 3-5k a month. Thanks
Someone may suggest you some starters ideas, I just wanted to say, ignore most of the information you will find about internet marketing on the web. Some of that stuff is so outdated. If someone on the web is saying that you need optimize your keywords and do SEO, you will know that they still live in 2011. Without a good social media exposure and paid advertising, internet marketing is not something people should consider doing if they want to make a quick buck. The time when you could do that is long gone. Internet marketing today requires all of tedious work that not everybody is willing to put in.
its not that hard either. its true that if one wants to earn some serious money they gotta use paid traffic and work hard but there are still lots of ways to earn some startup income and use it to reinvest into more but as OP suggests about he wants to earn $3k+ it will be hard hard hard work xD
Hiring a good mentor will cost you big bucks. There are a number of IM Guru's out there and you need to be careful. I suggest taking a look at some of the FREE IM eBooks that are available. Most contain good basic info for beginners. (I'm giving away a couple myself that you might like.) After doing a little study, then you might consider the mentor approach. I have heard that it takes several months to achieve the kind of income you're talking about. Send me a private message if you want to look at my eBooks...
That really depends on the niche you're in, many of them will require even more time before making you profit, let alone the 3-5k profit that OP is seeking. I have my own three P's of modern entrepreneurship - Patience, Passion and Persistence! Its important to keep your focus to the goal and never give up. A mentor is a great help, but might be out of your league for starters. Find a few reputable sources for Internet Marketing, subscribe to their news, read A LOT from different sources, so you can be sure you did not come across to wrong or outdated information. Start by setting small sub-targets and work your way step by step, this is the proper way to do it. The profit holds little to no importance in the early stages but you will see that eventually it will naturally be achieved
Learning in the web is free and it would be better to explore yourself in online marketing and read content from the reputable authors and blog sites.
learning on your own can be tough. Most people who start don't get anywhere because they read and read and don't take any action. Before hiring a mentor figure out what it is that you want to do. Is it building a website to make money? Is it building a list? After this seek out a mentor that specifically does these things.
Creating passive income online with the goal of 3k or 5k or 10k a month are extraordinary goals and will take extraordinary effort on your end. There are no secret sauce or special guru techniques. All of them, including myself went through sheer determination with trial and error. I coach internet marketers everyday on how to build their brand and company online and sadly 9/10 will not accomplish their dreams because it takes 110% commitment and effort on your part. Frustration and procrastination is a dream killer. Setting up your blog, social medium, podcast, youtube channel, SEO etc is the easy part. But providing value and relationship to your leads and audience will bring long term success in anything you do in life. The more you give the more your business will live. Which is why Im helping you with my 2 cents
Whenever I coach a student I always tell them, there are a lot of methods to make money online, it's even possible to make money fast! But...you need to change your mindset, if you want to make spare money great, but if you want a dependable source of income, you need to treat it like a business. I see you want to make $3000+ per month, so take my advice and never fall for methods that promise pushbutton solutions, easy money bla bla bla....it will pay on the long-term and will save you a lot of hassles! Good luck, Kiri
