FREE WORLD. everyone is subject to his thoughts. i just wish you can start contributing to humanity in a matured way. create threads and educate people on things they do not know and not sabotaging other people's effort while you end up derailing the thread with your adverts. i always welcome critics because it creates room for improvement. but please do not advertise anything here in the name of critique as you have always done on my previous threads. it only makes you look immature. just my thoughts

some few years ago I was having the very same problem that you are having right now. I was desperate to have a successful online business that would provide a decent income for me and my family.

The thing is I had no clue where to start at that time. I was reading blogs, visiting forums and downloading all kinds of marketing ebooks with the hope that I can get a blueprint that I could follow on a daily basis.

As a result of all my initial research, trial and error and other experimentation, I gained a ton of information but it was all stocked up in my head. I mean I had a clearer idea of what it would take to start earning online but I still could not decide what method to run with because there are so many. what i was suffering from was a sickness called information overload. one of its greatest symptoms is that it makes you feel like alpha and omega or professor soyinka of internet marketing but your pocket is as empty as that of a staff of Nigerian railway cooperation before the recent rehabilitation.

To top that off, I was constantly being bombarded with all kinds of offers in my email on a daily basis. All these offers 'promised' to give me a clear pathway to success but they never lived up to their promises. The sad thing about this whole scenario is that I fell for all the hype far too many times.

Fast forward to today I have learned how to block out the distractions. I now only focus my energy on what works. If I do a test and I get a positive return, then I scale that method to grow my business. The best way to have a successful business is to scale something that is already working for you.

So Where Do You Start?

The first thing you have to do is to get your mindset right. Stop believing that you can become an overnight success and understand that you have to work hard to make things happen.

Once you have that mentality, you can then start focusing on a strategy. As I mention above there are a ton of ways to have a successful online business but I'll share one that has been working for me.

Step #1 - Find A Group Of People With A Common Problem

The first thing you can do is to start with yourself. Are there any problems you have that need a solution? Could be health problems, relationship problems, a hobby or anything that you think others may be having as well. you can visit forums or different sections of Nairaland to identify problems that require solution

Step #2 - Create A Free Offer That Provides A Solution To The Above Problem

This offer should be one of high quality. You'll give away this offer to build a list of subscribers who are interested in a certain topic. So let's say you are targeting mothers who want to lose weight after giving birth. Then your free offer could be a nutritional guide that help them to eat properly to maximize their weight loss.

Step #3 - Build A Strong Relationship With Your Subscribers

Once these persons are on your list, you should build a relationship with them by sending them more valuable content that will help them get closer to their goals. This way they will like and trust you as a person who really cares about them.

Step #4 - Promote Ethical Products And Services To Your Subscribers

This is where you make your online income. You'll promote products and services that will help your subscribers to achieve their goals. This is why it is important to build a good relationship with your list initially so that they like and trust you and take you up on your recommendations.

this is just in a nutshell. lets have your questions and your ideas
