1 Guy trying to make it online, looking for others trying to make it online to bounce ideas off of

HI,

I'm AJ. I have some internet skills in making websites, landing pages, shopping carts, writing HTML code. I have a couple online business that are doing fair. I would like to share my knowledge to help out newcomers get to the point I'm at, and also, gain some guidance from people who are more experienced than me. I am tired of the get rich quick idiots and am looking to build a real online business and would like to help others. I have seen all the get rich quick junk, and am looking to bounce idea's off of guys who are doing some real work and succeeding on the internet. One thing I am doing right now is trying to help newbie internet entrepreneurs learn how to build a little business on the internet and avoid losing their life savings to the guru's. Basics of how to setup a little marketing website or shopping cart selling products. Stuff like that. Anyone with insight or needing help let me know. Thanks. AJ

I'm looking to set up an add system with a banner below my header and on the right side of my page. I will have a section to ask for donations, but I'd like to know if you have any other recommendations for ways to earn a bit of cash from my site.; ▶ Reply to This

Google adsense helps a little. Not huge profits but its pay per click. You can also install google search on your pages. this allows people to search google within your site. I have made a few bucks off of that.

Other options are using clickbank text links. This can be put on a side bar with a short description and a bunch of text links. I am actually fixing to try this myself but that would probably be your best option to keep down on the clutter and make some actual money.

However, be careful which clickbank products you decide to represent as I have recently learned that some of them are scams and it could affect your status. So just research the products first. Stay away from the make a million dollars overnight stuff and stick with the normal everyday products and you should be ok.

This way you can just list a bunch of links which won't take up much room and if clicked on you may make a sale.

Don't bother with that. You'll never ever make good money without targeted traffic. Most people only read text that stands out (different color font, size, bold, underline, or highlighted). Did I say most? Oops ... I meant all. Best bet is to place little 125 by 125 banners which are relevant to your content. Remember - targeted audience!

Some advice from a 'newbie' like myself ... make a blank banner (125 by 125) and within the box, type out "advertise here". Set up a page with your advertising cost(s) and banner/link placement. Might want to add your Alexa rank too :).

"However, be careful which clickbank products you decide to represent as I have recently learned that some of them are scams and it could affect your status. So just research the products first.

Oh ... amen. I could easily say 99.94% of products on ClickBank are uber crap. I have to say, my eBook is much different than most "get rich over night" products. They only promise a million, to hell with that ... I guarantee that you'll make 9.6 billion overnight. I need to stress that billion, since it sets me apart from the rest. *roll eyes*

Good advice AJ.

Just as AJ stated, your best bet is AdSense. Integrate your advertising seamlessly and you'll be just fine.; ▶ Reply to This

I was about to do affilate marketing via clickbank plus using google adwords, but I just can't afford wasting a single penny on advertisment...

So I think what I should do is put some effort on my bloging and post interesting and unique stuff, find a product to affilate market, maybe products, and start using google adwords...

But yet again, don't have cash to start the investment.; ▶ Reply to This
