Unhappy Hello Everyone

Hi, I am new to Affiliate Programs/Marketing. I am trying to make a steady online income but I am not succeeding. I have sign-up and tried almost every online income opportunity there is. I have spent all my money and have not made much profit at all. I want to become successful. Is there a program out there for me to get started with? Please help me!

Do you have a website?
How long have you tried at one thing?
There is no quick answer. Most of this takes time and work.
Some subjects take more work than others.

Many affiliate programs take several months, even years, to become successful. Since you say you've lost all your money, I would suggest getting away from any that have monthly membership fees. I think most people who decide to start trying to make money over the internet get into a trap... joining too many programs, hoping at least one of them works out. Their advertising efforts get spread out too thin for each because they have so many things to promote. Look over all the programs you've joined. Pick 2 of them (look for ones that would pay the best commissions if you make a sale) Then spend EVERY DAY for the next month promoting JUST THOSE 2. Hit every FREE classified ad site you can find, ad exchanges, traffic exchanges, social sites, etc.
Go back and renew your ads every day or week. Change the ad's headline up once in awhile. After a few weeks or so, maybe try promoting another one of your programs along with the first 2.
You already stated you've spent a lot of money. STOP! There are too many FREE ways to make money or get visitors. If you haven't earned anything from a program, don't think it is going to get any better by spending more money!

In conclusion... concentrate all your advertising efforts on just a couple of programs and you will start to see results. It is too time consuming to promote a dozen different things. If you get 1000 people to see your ads during a week, you need all of them coming to the same page if you want to start seeing signups and sales, NOT 100 people to this page, 100 to that page.... etc. etc. etc.

I believe the media and infomercials are the cause of many false hopes at making money online. They tell you that you can quickly make $1000s in your first month of business. How all you have to do is log in and check your bank account and see it magically rise.

I know a person that paid $15,000 for admission into an all in one website/marketing firm. They got the Use of a domain name, some nifty create your own website wizard that produced garbage code, a shopping cart with shared check out, a list of dropshippers, and a "personal mentor" that had them read ebooks and told them to try harder.

If you want to make quick easy cash get a job as a night watchman at the local morgue.

Successful Internet businesses work very hard for what they get.
Putting up a site and sitting there watching your PayPal balance just does not lead to success.
Personally I believe that the "Internet Business Owner" job is often much harder and more time consuming than most "regular" jobs are. Especially in the beginning.

How does that go ..... "Build it and they will come"?
Yeah Right!!

But wait, can't you just set up an automatic twitter feed to go to a website with scraped content and 20 affiliate banners? It will take 20 minutes to set up and then you won't have to do anything right? .... hahaha, I see so many people try something like that and wonder why nothing happens.

Workathomemom_Manuel you are in the right place though, we have seen people go from starting to income earning here, but they all put in the time and work required. If you are willing to do the same, we will help you as much as possible.
