Hello everyone and greetings from the Great White North, otherwise known as Canada.
I am not really a new member with GDI, nor am I new to the idea of either network marketing or internet marketing but I am rededicating myself to trying to get a profitable site up and running. I am new, though, to the forums on this site.
Almost 2 years ago I signed up with Global Domains and have been paying my $11 US per month like clockwork but have realized $0 income. This is likely to do with the fact that I have done nothing with it other than begin the creation of a website. Well, I have been thinking of late, why am I paying all of this money out when I am getting nothing in return. My answer to the question was, "I don't know, but I'd better get busy and do something about it because I am sick and tired of remaining a slave to debt." As a result, today, I resurrected some interest in creating a paying website but with a "crawl before I can walk" mentality. That means that I want to get this working with the services I currently have rather than upgrading to the premium service. I am not a stranger to computers and can usually do what I need to with one, but the problem for me seems to be that I lack the confidence and insight necessary to figure out what niche to service, how to go about it and what I need to put onto my site that will create some cashflow. Once I have been able to make a little money, I know I would feel more comfortable with recommending others to the program (affiliates). Until then, though, not so much. I am a more quiet person so I am not much into newtorking on Facebook or the like which, no doubt, can be a hindrance in today's climate of social interaction.
So why am I posting here? Well the reasons are simple. First, having been an Amway distributor at one point in my life, I realize that those who have been involved for awhile are somewhat, if not a lot more successful than I am with making money online. In my Amway training, I was told that if you want to become a millionaire, you need to talk to one. So I figure that if I want to be successful in internet marketing, I need to talk to someone who is. That follows the same logic, I think. Therefore I am looking for guideance about how I get started and what I need to do that isn't going to cost me. In other words, I am looking for those who will be willing to hold my hand so to speak and become a tutor. Second, I need to know about finding a niche that is in demand but yet is one that I can be passionate about. Third, I want to find out how really lucritive online marketing is from an honest standpoint, not from a promotional one.
My proposed website is
www.commonsenseforliving.ws but is not viewable online because it is still a work in progress and not yet hosted.
Any help you might offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from anyone who might be able to help.
