Newbiealert Is It Really Possible To Make A Full Time Living Online?

The internet is so crowded now with marketers and affiliates, it makes me wonder...is it really possible for a newbie to make a full time living as an internet marketer?

I know a "full time living" will vary for each person, so let's use the approximate average US income - about $40K. Can a person starting out today make $40K annually online? If so, about how long do you think it would take?

From what I see/read, it seems the best way to make "real" money online is to create your own product and get JVs selling for you. Do you agree?

Interested in reading peoples feedback.

I'm in a pretty good mood today so I'll give you a nudge in the right direction.

In short, YES. It is very possible to make $40K a year online, actually, it is quiet easy to make that amount if you put in the work.

Don't expect to be profitable right away, you might not even make a penny until a couple of months.

A good traffic source for noobs would be Facebook. Spend 5-10$ a day until you can learn how to write good ad copies and pump out profitable campaigns.

Read this thread - Example Facebook Campaign . Follow this example until you get the hang of it.

Now start creating campaigns!

40k annually? Buddy, there are people who do that in a month and then some. Think about it. You're in an industry with a seemingly endless amount of products and everyone with an internet connection is a potential customer. Think about it...

If your 'product' is nothing more than instructions on how to fill out surveys and sign up for adwords, then you probably won't make shit.

There's plenty of money in real stuff, though.

Yeah.

But ask yourself this. Is it possible to build a real future working as an expendable employee in this shitstorm you call an economy.

I own all my websites no one can take them away from me and the skills I have gained means I can produce and monetize them faster than ever if some should go down.

Is your day job as secure?

Surely possible provided you give 100% of your effort, have patience for few months and choose the right niche after a sound research. I'd suggest you to stay active in forums and learn a lot of stuff.. Like others said, you need not to create your own product.

Yes earning a full time living online is possible, but you should know what you are doing and how to do it correctly.

This only comes with experience and hit/miss/trial/error/rinse/repeat cycle.

My advice to you ( how ever an advice not asked is worthless ) stay away from the "GET RICH QUICK" schemes as they are only trap to rip off newbies.

There are some good programs, but you must cross check them before joining any

You guys sure are patient today.. No swearing or telling the OP to shove something into their A hole.

Do you think people chat it up and talk methods and buy services on here just because this is some hobby like knitting or fishing? Read every sticky post on the forum.. and when you are done reread them.. then put SOMETHING INTO ACTION

I am by no means a big player. But I know enough to know it can be done and I take steps everyday to make it happen.

you know what the real secret to success is? in this and any other game?

do it better, faster. a good start is to work out what your competition is doing then ask yourself how can i do it better and faster than they can. if you have the time, smarts or resources to implement the answers you came up with, then you can make a very good living in your chosen field, if not try something else.

how does this all relate to IM?

identify your niche.. AM, Email, SEO, Guru, ewhore, whatever..
work out what your peers are doing and how they are doing it
plan
work your ass off to implement plan
annihilate them



btw the more specific your plan the easier it will be to realise.

If you know what are you doing... yes. If you are complete noob with 0 experience then... well, it may take even years for you to figure out what it the right pathway to your success. The key is to learn all the time and never give up.

If you need specifics then I can tell you that people do make much more than 45K by Website Flipping. You make websites on different niches with an objective of selling them. Make websites that make money and people will buy them quickly.
