How To Start From Zero...

Are you stuck and don't know what to do to make a living? Here are some tips to help you out getting unstuck:

1. Getting a job that you like

If you have no money on you at all, the best way to get started is to get a job that you like. It's the only thing you can do when you get cashless.

This job will pay for your bills, it will create a fixed schedule for you and you will meet new people there (your colleagues).

From there, you will get enough money to start your first online business, but it will take some time to do it (around 4 months).

As time passes by, you get more experienced at your current job and money will start coming in. Consider doing this first before anything else. It is crucial if you don't have any money in your pocket.

2. Starting your first online affiliate business

Opening an online business is much simpler than having an offline one. The offline business needs a physical location and staff to hire. The online business can be done from anywhere in the world with just a computer.

All you need is an affiliate funnel (click here to claim yours). After you get the funnel and you have some money put aside from your job, you can then invest in solo ads to start promoting yourself.

Or you can do it for free as I do, by opening a free blog and start writing (or babbling) about what you like (weight loss, cosmetics, dog training, making money online, etc).

Then you promote your blog on social media like Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. I suggest you start learning making some "memes".

3. Reinvest the money back into your business

As you progress with your affiliate business and you start to make some dough, don't take the profits yet. Use that money to invest it into solo ads and start getting promoted faster.

Solo ads are the best way to get fast results. Solo ads are like an email you send to other people by tapping into somebody else's email list.

You can get plenty of offers at udimi.com. Just find a good offer and choose your package. Then you put the link of your affiliate funnel there and wait for some sales.

4. Retiring

After you start earing 6 times more money from your affiliate business than from your job, you can trust reinvestments and quit your job successfully. Just make sure that you keep working on your business every day.

5. It's all about sales

The key to a successful business is sales. Without sales, there is no business. Don't be afraid to sell. It's a normal activity that happens. When you are working, you sell your time for a fixed salary.


In business, you sell a product instead of your time for a flexible but bigger income. What do you say? Are you ready?


I wish you happy sales and good business. Take care.

It takes 4 months...

People ask me: "Hey Vlad, how much time does it take to launch your online business?". The answer is around 4 months.

Because you need to do some stuff before your business gets started. And the #1 thing you must do that many people lack is content creation.

That's right. For whole 4 months, people get to know you and they want content to consume from you first.

So you must start writing, post memes, photos or videos around you. And that's the hardest part because it involves a lot of work (from your side) at first.

Then things start to get easier. You must update your content every now and then. You don't have to post that often, so the stress is minimal.

But the startup, that is what drags many entrepreneurs down. Content creation. Lack of ideas or inspiration, lack of results and so on.

Actually, the lack of results is the main reason why people quit. They don't see the results materializing in front of them and they abandon the project after a while.

I've been there. I have tons of abandoned projects on my list, but one. I decided to go with one project no matter how hard it is or how long it takes.

But I also had some results with this project. That is why I keep going. And you must do the same if you want to thrive in the business world.

Four months of creating daily content, plus finding your communication channels like this blog or a social media platform that doesn't censor you.

I discovered MINDS to promote myself, which is better than Facebook. There, I post my memes and I generate leads.

As for this blog, I usually write every now and then to keep my audience posted. Which is nice. Building a community has always been my goal.

But it takes time and patience plus a lot of free content (which I'm willing to give). So, don't be scared to get started. There is a lot of info out there about "how to create a blog" or "how to start a Youtube channel".

Take some time to do some research and then get to work. But the results will not be instant, that's the only disadvantage.

The rewards are well paid though. All your work will value a lot if you are willing to put some muscle upfront.

What do you say? Are you with me on this journey?

Customers From Hell...

This post is for newbies. If you are an advanced internet marketer, please ignore this post. First thing, Do you want to clone my internet business? If YES, click here, if NOT keep reading, please...


This video inspired me today to talk about the customers that won't buy from you, no matter what you do.


This market is so cold that you can't warm it up with all the freebies in the world. You can give anything for free when you sell them something, they just run away.


That is every affiliate marketer's nightmare. That is why we don't sleep at night thinking about that "nobody will buy from me".


You can't really do anything about those people. The only solution to this is to keep working. Hard work x 3.


Work hard and try to make your customers as hot as you can. Hot customers will buy from you whatever you sell them.


That is why I'm so consistent with my blog. I'm trying to warm up my audience and turn it hot. But for this to happen, I need time and a lot to write.


How many blog posts I must write? Millions of blog posts and I must be on every social media platform available. You must do that too so a sale can happen.


Write, create videos, share content 8 hours a day. That is what a master affiliate does. He/she just fires up and starts working.


I still don't have enough prospects to keep the business going, but this doesn't scare me. I must find a way to keep the platform updated with content.


The more content I create, the more Google will love me and will push my little blog around the sharks' websites.


You can be the little fish that nobody can catch and swim with the sharks by not getting scared. And you can transform into a shark as well, then you can eat other sharks. It's like a game.

What Are You Doing WIth Your Targeted Traffic?

This post is for newbies. If you are an advanced internet marketer, please ignore this post. First thing, Do you want to clone my internet business? If YES, click here, if NOT keep reading, please...


What do you do with your paid targeted traffic, or even with the free traffic? Do you send it directly to the product you are selling?


That is WRONG. Why? Because you are losing sales. If you send the traffic directly to the sales page you are losing MONEY.


That traffic will bounce up and you will never see it again. That is why I recommend you capture that traffic for further monetization.


You can do this with a landing page instead of wasting it with a sales video. Uncaptured traffic leads to disaster and bad business.


Furthermore, the users that are seeing the sales page directly will mark you as a hype spammer. A hype spammer is someone who is trying to sell something before offering something for free.


And no bad marketing exists but this. I'm crying when I see how much stupidity is in the internet marketing world.


Newbies trying to make a buck without content creation. Traffic wasted on sale pages instead of captured for future money making.


Are you aware of how much money you lose by not capturing the traffic you send to one page? Billions of dollars. That is why the smart guys like me are using landing pages for this.


A landing page is a smart tool that is generating money. Not too many people know about this. It's easier than a 9 to 5 job.


And the magic doesn't end here. I don't even need to create a landing page myself. It's all done for me via The CB Passive Income system. All I got to do is to expose it as much as I can and I get $2 per lead.


Imagine this: $2 per lead x 1000 leads = $2000 - easy money.


And all I have to do is write about it. That is how I make my money as a writer, while others are breaking their backs under their boss yelling and stress at a 9 to 5 job.


Remember the movie "The Terminator 2 - Judgement Day?" when John Connor inserts a card and pulls up $300 "easy money"?


That's how a landing page magic works. You capture the lead and you keep sending free emails until that lead buys from you.


The magic continues because I don't write the emails either. I don't even waste time trying to convert my sales. How is this for a lazy person?


You see those gurus making big money online. This is how they do it. They capture emails for $2 per lead. There are no secrets. The only thing you must do is to expose that landing page.


Let your list grow. The bigger the list, the more money you make. So I'm asking you now:

What are you doing with all your traffic?

While you direct it to a sales page, and you waste it, I direct it via my landing pages and get $2 each. Who is richer? That is the power of Internet Marketing.

Don't waste any more time. Get your copy of The CB Passive Income and live like I do. You will thank me later when money will start to flow.

How To Start Online With No Money....

This post is for newbies. If you are an advanced internet marketer, please ignore this post. First thing, Do you want to clone my internet business? If YES, click here, if NOT keep reading, please...

Not having money in your pockets, sucks. Especially if you are a teenager and you are 15 years old 😔

The best solution is to get a job. But what if you don't want a job? What if you can't find one? What happens then?

Here is my story from 10 years ago when I first got started with zero cash, yet, I've made some sales:

Back in 2009, I've googled "How to make money online" and I've discovered the first methods that promised me to get rich: "PTC = paid to click" "PTR = paid to read emails". But all this stuff were just fake promises for a mortal like me.

The only people getting rich were "the advertisers". But life was kind to me and after 2 years in 2011, I found Clickbank.

This platform opened my eyes in the affiliate marketing world. I tried to promote lots of products, without any idea on how to do it and I've gained experience. I did that for 6 years, with no success.

Then I realized how much I have to learn, in order to make a single sale. So, after some thorough research, I found that I must focus only on one product and leave all the crap behind me.

I decided to look for the best product on Clickbank, and I found it "The CB Passive Income" by Patric Chan.

What was the problem? I couldn't afford it back then, so I got a job for a couple of months, saved some money aside and then, with satisfaction on my face, I bought it.

My first online business and "the only one today". This product gave me all the opportunities I needed in order to succeed.

No more writing emails, no more writing ads, no more building websites, heaven on earth, all is just done for me, in exchange, all I have to do is to promote my links and that's it.

But there is this catch: "I couldn't promote by spam" and that was one of my mistakes. I started posting links everywhere on facebook until I realized that all I'm doing was prostituting my brand (see here).

But I made some sales in the past via some solo advertising, which proved to me that this product works. But...

I knew I had to take a different approach. So I've opened this blog and told myself: "No matter how hard it is in business, I'll never quit until I make it"

Now here I am today fighting for my way to the top and the best secret is that you can do that too.

What can you do?

You don't have to buy my product if you don't want to, yet it's the best out there. But, you can put some money aside, with or without a job, then go to Clickbank.com and find a product that interests you, buy it, test it, learn it and then promote it.

The hard part is that it takes time until you make your first sale. You must be willing to sacrifice some time by promoting it for free via articles or videos on your blog.

Having a blog costs you nothing, uploading a YouTube Video costs you nothing. Your first obstacle will be "lack of audience" at first, but again, this builds up in time.

All you need to do is to create content every week and take some time managing your social media accounts after you've opened them (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube).

The big fear is your fear of failure. With this model, you can't fail. It works 100% but it takes some time to grow up.

Top #10 Mistakes That I made As An Affiliate Marketer

This post is for newbies. If you are an advanced internet marketer, please ignore this post. First thing, Do you want to clone my internet business? If YES, click here, if NOT keep reading, please...

Let's not waste time and get started...

#1 High expectations

When I first opened my Clickbank account, I was dreaming about making sales and lots of money, without doing the hard work.

Then I hit the wall and I understood that the online business world, is not that soft and puff. After 10+ years of internet marketing, I still struggle with sales, but now it's different because I work my ass off to succeed.

So, don't start too enthusiastic about it. For some, money comes quickly, for others, later in time.

I corrected this by having real expectations, yet my dream is still there.

#2 Thinking that I'm not good enough

I've always let my family tell me what to do. I've always taken the blame for everything bad happening in my life. Others were telling me what's good and what's bad.

I corrected this when I took responsibility and started making choices from my own point of view, regardless of what others may or may not say.

#3 Acting too smart

I thought I know it all. Nobody could match with me. I never let anyone say their opinion and that cost me a lot of social prices.

I corrected this by becoming an anarchist and by understanding the fact that I don't know nothing yet.

#4 Too much smartphone

Instead of focusing on my business, I would just take my phone and start scrolling Facebook all day long, producing nothing.

This is the mistake that many of us are doing it. They get lost in their smartphones. I corrected this by stopping to use my phone in a non-productive way.

Now, everything I do on my devices is strictly for making money (I even rented my car)

#5 Stopped learning

After I graduated from school, I had a period of time of not learning anything. I've stopped reading books, I stopped educating myself and this led to a huge mistake.

I corrected this by watching Youtube tutorials and started reading self-help.

#6 Being too critical

I had times when I was criticizing and hate some online products and some people. Again, this mistake cost me a lot of energy and emotional strength. I corrected this mistake by starting to be more empathetic and understanding.

#7 Too lazy

I started sitting in my comfort zone, too lazy to write a post, too lazy to comment on a video, too lazy to work for my business. Until I realized that nobody is working in my position and I'm the only responsible if the business is booming or not.

I corrected this mistake by starting to act against my brain and start training to creativity.

#8 Letting others tell me what to do

This mistake made me think that I'm not good enough for my business. I told my family about Clickbank and they laughed at me. They said that I'll never succeed, that I'm a dreamer. I believed them and this cost me again a lot of stress.

I corrected this mistake by stop listening to naysayers (no matter who they are, friends or family) and starting to act on my behalf.

#9 Not charismatic enough

Yep. Nowadays if you are not educating yourself to become more charismatic, people won't like you. You need that energy and smile on your face instead of lacks on your face.

I used to be a loner with no friends because of my lack of charisma. Now I learn tutorials from Youtube about it.

#10 No story to tell

When I first got started, I had no story to tell to anyone. How I grew up, where I grew up, or how my life was before. This is a mistake I'm still working on today, because story sells. And I must work at this pretty hard.

Tell me this...in the comment section

Why To Use Clickbank And How To Make Sales...

This post is for newbies. If you are an advanced internet marketer, please ignore this post. First thing, Do you want to hire me to do it for you? If YES, click here, if NOT keep reading, please...

Clickbank is the #1 affiliate platform online. Why is it the best? Because it pays off between 25% to 75% of the sales you make in commissions.

I am a Clickbank user for over 10 years now, and I'm very happy with it. They pay me a week after the sale is made. It can work for you too.

The sign-up process takes around 3 minutes and it's opened for almost any country in the world. All you have to do is to get into action (click here to sign up) on the "Create Account" section, if you don't have one.

Pick A Product

In order for you to make sales, you must pick a product to promote. What do you choose? I chose "The CB Passive Income 5.0" and here are the reasons why:

1. No more struggle with landing pages (I don't have to create any website)

2. No more struggle sending emails (I get leads automatically and the emails are already crafted)

3. I have over 5 business models (including Amazon)

4. No more struggle posting my affiliate links anywhere (I just get paid instantly when a sale is made)

5. No more struggle with domain names or web hosting.

What I did is saved money for 6 months and bought the whole package, and now I get back my return on investment every single month. Pretty neat.

But you can choose from plenty of authentic products on your desire:

- weight loss

- golf

- trading

- survival guides

- how to play poker

- web design

- software

And then you can start promoting as I do here on my blog. All you need is discipline and patience.

How To Make Sales?

All you need is an "avatar" or "persona". Here is how my avatar or ideal customer looks like:

Age: between 18 to 70 years old

Social Status: Married with kids, widowed, divorced or single

Financial Status: Not too rich or too poor, someone who puts money aside

Other Skills: To have an investor mindset, few technical skills

How many people are like this on the face of the Earth? Millions, I tell you. You might be one of them, no questions asked.

But you don't trust me at first and I believe you. No problem. In time we can build a relationship.

After you found your avatar, show to that person your business model (click here) and that's it. You just wait for the magic to happen.

Disclaimer: You won't get the sale on the spot. The customer must get something for free first before you sell him/her something.

That is why this system is working so well because, at any time, the customer will buy at a moment. Until then, you just give free stuff and wait for the sales to happen on your behalf.

Conclusion

Why working at a 9-5 job, when you can model this online business type and sleep well? Imagine waking up every day, just writing or creating videos promoting your product and getting paid to do so?

People are so afraid of this process because they have expectations and they quit before the sale is made, instead of posting and creating valuable content.

Don't be that boy/girl. Choose wisely before working for an employee and start working for yourself by doing what you love to do, as I am.

Why Ads Can Hurt Your Online Business...

Hello,

This post is for newbies. If you are an advanced internet marketer, please ignore this post. First thing, Do you want to hire me to do it for you? If YES, click here, if NOT keep reading, please...

Running ads for your business can ruin your wallet if you are doing it wrong. But let's talk about the painful process you must go through to even start.

1. The sign-up process

You need an account with any advertiser that you want to make a deal. They are verifying your ID, passport or any document they need to make sure it's you.

The sign-up process can take up to 72 hours to complete. Imagine what you can do with this time if you just start up for free with a Facebook page and a blog where you can get creative.

2. The AD approval

After the sign-up, you need to set up an ad and wait another 2 days to get approved. They have to make sure that your ad does comply with their terms of use (imagine that), if not, you just wasted hours creating your ad, for nothing.

3. The AD is not delivered right

How many people who do ignore ads do you know? Most of them. You won't get the number of clicks expected (my experience) plus, many people are using Adblock today so you have a lot of competition going on.

Imagine that you are competing and bidding against other marketers, so I'm asking you, can you afford it?

4 A solution

There is a solution to run ads, but not working with those companies. Those ads are called SOLO ADS. Just go to udimi.com (I'm not affiliated with them), apply there and start ads for just 0.35 cents per click.

Conclusion

Don't waste your money by competing with Internet sharks. They can afford to spend billions on advertisement and you don't. 

Let them do the hard work for you. Just start for free at your pace. Write an article every now and then (no hustle), make a video once in a while (not every day).

I don't write every day. I just do it from time to time, but I respect a schedule. You must do that too, especially if you just got started.

Trust me. You will thank me later for this advice.

How To Get Traffic (The Real Way)...

Hey there,

Today I'm gonna talk about the real 2 ways of getting traffic to your website, either is old or new. 

First thing, Do you want to hire me to do it for you? If YES, click here, if NOT keep reading, please...

Traffic is the blood of your online business, no matter who you are. But I'm talking about valuable traffic, not junk traffic.

And there are actually only two ways of getting it. You get it for free, (my favorite) or you pay for it (my underdog).

Let's start, shall we?

Free Traffic...(a.k.a organic traffic)

This type of traffic is the most valuable asset if you do it right. What do I mean by "doing it right?" I mean delivering your own content and not a copycat + lot of exposure.

You can do this via articles written by you, videos created by you, or by sharing other people's content, all this in a consistent manner.

I work with memes and blog articles (videos are making me waste energy and nervous). So, open your social media accounts and start posting (money comes later).

I have a facebook page (click here to see it) with only 4 likes. But I post constantly. It's not too old, but my belief is that those 4 real people will bring me another 4 people.

Also, I'm happy that those 4 people are reading me and that I'm able to share my knowledge with them.

I also sell them from time to time. I don't make money yet, but what about in the next 6 months? See the value here?

You can post anything you like, but relevant and consistent, and I guarantee that money will come. 

You can't fail with this method. Just don't get lazy and quit. It's like a normal job. You work hard at first, but it pays up in time (big win).

Paid traffic...(another underdog)

Lots of gurus are pushing newbies to invest in advertising. Which is not good. What can work for you here are SOLO ADS.

In solo ads, you can expose your ad to their people via someone else's email list. But it's a risk that I don't recommend if you just got started.

Let's say that you can afford to invest in those ads. You may get results but NOT guaranteed. I'll help you if you want to do it this way.

Make sure that you have a written ad to promote and then:

1. Sign-up to udimi.com and see the prices. 

2. Talk to the owner of the list and order your number of clicks to buy. 

3. Wait for the results to be delivered.

That is the process. I don't recommend any ads because of the risk exposure. I rarely do them when I can afford (usually 1 ad in 3 months) but still, I'm unhappy with the results.

If you consider this method efficient for you, please do tell.

Conclusion

Stay away from people that are trying to ask for money upfront. Buy from people after you have built a healthy online relationship. Succeeding in online is not overnight.

It takes months, or maybe years. Don't expect much at first, but do the action, it will pay off in the long run.

Top #3 Tools To Succeed In Affiliate Marketing...(last part)

Hello,

A lot of newbies don't know where to start when it comes to affiliate marketing (ClickBank). The answer is in that photo (look above).

First thing, Do you want to hire me to do it for you? If YES, click here, if NOT keep reading, please...

What is a funnel?

A funnel = your landing page (click here) + your email list (click here)

With it, you can create a follw-up sequence, where you send emails to your potential clients (it's like a TV show on Netflix).

Why use a funnel?

Simply because, at first, people don't know you. You need to approach with something to give them first so they can trust you afterward. It is the only method we entrepreneurs use to get customers.

There is no way better than this (trust me). Let me explain to you what it does...

So, what a funnel does, Vlad?

It converts people who don't know me, into my friends. It is the way I meet online people by making them curious about me.

That is why I use it and that is why you want to use it too to make money online. But it takes time to build an audience.

How much time does it take? And why is so hard nowadays?

It depends on you. If you want to pour money into it, you can get into profits in 7 days. But if you start doing it for free, it can take months, or maybe years. Why?

Simply because it is not that easy to build a social media presence so easily. Many people abused by this method in the past and "the funnel" got some bad reputation because of it.

They don't know who is behind the funnel, so make sure that you are building credibility and authority first, before selling something.

What's next?

The next post is about getting traffic to your funnel so that you can gather some audience to your online business.
