Do you have any helpful ideas on how a newbie can start making money online?

SUBSCRIBER QUESTIONS PART 9
———————————-

Hi Detlev,

I have been trying to make an income on the net for about 5 months now with nothing to show except for a lousy bank balance.

So many programs that promise a lot just don’t cut it anywhere near what they say at the beginning. And the dream of being able to work from home and have that little bit of extra contact time with my 2 children, whom I only get to see fortnightly, is shattering.

After all, a better future for them is why I am doing this. Anyway, enough of that. If you do have some helpful ideas they would be greatly appreciated.

Question: Do you have any helpful ideas on how a newbie can start making money online?

ANSWER:
———–

Hi Peter,

it would have been great if you had mentioned what you have DONE so far apart from probably buying courses and reading a bunch of ebooks? Did you get active and have you started building your own website(s)? Most people are just passively looking for some kind of magical button which they can push. Let me tell you from personal experience: There is no such button!

You need to be consistenly working on your dream. And with working I mean getting active, not just consuming ebooks and courses. This will get you nowhere. Decide on one way of making money instead of always pursuing the latest “greatest thing since sliced bread” opportunity. Once you know that e.g. you just want to do affiliate marketing or start publishing content (these are both easier than creating and selling your own product), decide on a market that you want to get into.

I would not suggest getting into the Internet marketing field as a complete beginner (even though this always sounds the most attractive one to a newbie). It can work for experienced people in this field who know the ins and outs but if you only have a limited knowledge of all the techniques, I doubt that you can be successful.

Try to find your own niche, something that you are interested in and where you know that people are also spending money in that area. After having found a market, you need to find your sub niche, e.g. if the market you have decided on is golfing, you need to carve out your niche, e.g. “junior golf equipment” or “women”s golf shoes”. Don”t go too broad by trying to sell something related to “golf” to stay with this example. At a later stage, once you are successful in your niche, it could be an option to get into Internet marketing, though. Because then you have something to show for…

There is one method which is for complete beginners and it”s something that I highly recommend. It”s called the “Lazy Git Marketing” method and it”s one of the easiest ways of making money I know of.

Although it has to do with the creation and promotion of websites (both parts are explained in the ebook in an excellent way), you actually do not need to be getting a lot of traffic to make this method work. In fact, this is the main method which I am recommending to my personal coaching student here on Mauritius right now to get him started with making money online. In the past few days, we”ve been going through the individual steps which are described in this lazy git ebook!

But please, if you decide to get this ebook on my recommendation then put it into action. Don”t let it just collect digital dust on your harddrive. If you have problems putting these steps into action then ask me – I will personally help you to get started with that method if you”re using my link above (yes, this IS an affiliate link). I will also help all of my other readers who are getting this ebook from my link above! You just have to ask me.
