But to be candid with you, how many of you have really made any money online since you started buying those stuff?

Let all who have questions and needs about online business post them here and then lets come together to help each other succeed with less stress!

What is your greatest challenge in starting an online business? Say it here!

I tried affiliate marketing, fiverr, and cpa offers but seriously, i cldnt make much headway just because the person that promised to guide me seems to be very busy and i did things with limited knowledge which ultimately led to my failure in the business. Now shopping for a mentor that'll take me by hand and give me a step by step guide.

You can make money online but its not a get rich game. It require time, patience, dedication and ultimatel KNOWLEDGE. I have made some money, but that didnt come easy.

Na blogging i need ideas on.

The challenge is sitting down to actually do the business. There are so many distractions and if one is not careful, you'll be chasing every new shiny object that comes your way.

The advise is, find a good mentor, close your ears to every other persons no matter how good they are and stick with your mentor for a while. If you do this, you're going to start seeing results.

What I have gathered so far from you guys who have posted is that of mentoring. Let me tell you the truth, there is money to be made on the internet, what most people suffer from is information overload!

The best advice I have been giving my clients is this: Stay focus and remain steadfast! The money may not come instantly like in any business of life. It takes time and some dint of hard work to get there.

The best part is that you need to develop your own system. Any body who is making money today on the internet has a system which he or she has built over time. What works for me, may not work for you! this is the simple truth. No guru will ever tell you this!!!

The Only way you can develop your personal system is by trying the business out yourself. Yes, some one may give you a guide, but it might not work well for you. This is because it is not your system and the developer may not tell you everything! This is the truth. It explains why you have tried so many guides by several gurus and yet there is no result to show.

We are here to help you and to ensure that you kick start your own business without any stress.

A lot has been said about affiliate marketing, as a matter of fact, lots of informational products have been written on this very same topic. I will only try to give you the basics, but should you still have any questions, please don't hesitate to let us know.

Affliate marketing is a kind of partnership between the owner of a product (Merchant)and you the promoter (affiliate).

There are lots of affiliate networks you can partner with and pick any product that suites your passion or interest. One of such networks include clickbank.com, amazon.com, jvzoo.com, there are lots of them around, but these are the most populous.

The commission range from 25% to 75% of the total sales depending on the merchant involved.

There are lots of ways you can promote products as an affiliate, but my favorite is the use of Article marketing.

Here are the steps:

1. Pick a product that suites your passion, but must be in a profitable niche. (Hope you understand the differnce between a market and a niche?).

2. Run an extensive keyword research to determine and unearth profitable keywords to use for your campaign. This is because in the cause of people searching for a particular product online, there are keywords they use. Your duty is to uncover those keywords and incorporate them into your articles/website. So they when these prospects enter those keywords into the search engines, your website, articles or products will show up.

3. Get a domain name that relates to your keywords or products.

4. Buying an affordable hosting plan for your domain name.

5. Post article rich keywords on your website related to your products. With the keywords you have discovered, write at least 10 articles for each keywords and post them on your blog/website.

6. Write another version of those keywords and submit them to article directories eg ezinearticles.com and the rest.

7. Make sure you have an anchor text with your keywords in your signature linking back to your website.

8. Bookmark your articles through the article directories

9. Submit another version of your articles to suidoo.com and hubpages.com with each linking back to your website using your anchor text.

10. Discover similar blogs in your chosen niche and post relevant comments and linking back to your website.

11. Find related forums and post relevant comments as well.

12. Create videos in your chosen niche and post them to youbube.com and their likes. With your website address in the description tag.

13. Keep discovering new keywords in your chosen niche and continue adding articles as you continue.

14. Make sure you have a plan on ground to follow as it relates to adding articles, researching keywords, submitting articles, etc. You should make sure you have a plan for each day and stick strictly to it no matter what happens. The law of success thought me that "Success will only come to those who are consistent in doing or following a pattern of doing things" Self Discipline is the keyword here.

15. I can assure you that if you follow this guide, in no time, you will become an expert and even develop your own system.

16. Rinse and repeat this process, then move to another niche.

17. Please note, success with affiliate marketing is all about driving targeted traffic to your website or product, so I will encourage you to explore every means available to get traffic to your website or product.

I hope this thread will help some one here! If you still have any issues getting started in any area of affiliate marketing, please feel free to let us know!
