    You might want to explain what you have tried before that didn't work out, then we might have a solution for you.

    It's not just about studying, you need to take action too...

    We are not psychic. However, I can tell you that if your efforts match your posts in here, then it's no wonder you have not made any money. You need to take action, not just study. Put in some effort!

    You've given so little information (in fact no information at all!) about what you've done that obviously that's only a total guess, but when people have been struggling for a long time to promote ClickBank products without ever having any success at all, that's usually the answer.

    You really need to stop trying to promote yourself here by private message like this, Anu. It's not "forum marketing" at all. It's just "forum spam". And it doesn't help your credibility, either. To put it mildly. It just encourages people to look through your own previous posts and see whether you really look like someone who has serious help to offer without even knowing what the problem is, or someone who only the other day didn't understand the basics himself, either.

    clickbankgeek, First off, spend the time to write a detailed explanation of what your problem is. ie: what you have been doing to make money online and what marketing avenues used. To put it bluntly, right now your post or lack of explains your failure.

    I do agree with Alexa on the person who says pm me and I will help you. That is nonsense!! Please correct me if I`m wrong but the OP only has 3 post, I`m not sure if he can send you a pm if he wanted to...

    ClickbankGeek,

    The telepathic signals that you're sending my way have been obscured by others in this thread who gave you pieces of advice. They seem to have gained several levels of consciousness after the moon has moved into the 3rd house of Jupiter a few minutes ago. Nevertheless, the spirits around me and my keyboard are telling me that true love and online riches beyond your wildest dreams await you and will soon bless you in the form of a PM...

    I can't answer this question exactly because over year I don't know what are you doing? In my story, I can't make money for 2 years. I just make money in past year around $5000. I think it's not much for anyone but this is good thing for start make money.
    Set your goal
    Do reach it

    Good luck

        Even I have to admit that it's very tempting.

        And it normally irritates me beyond measure to see people offering crap advice, here. But at the moment, frankly, there's so much of it that I'm simply going to have to learn not to be so irritated by that, if I want to stay here myself

          Alexa, "You can do it!" You contribute tons with your posts and character. Don't let the irritation particular actions cause you to shrink back, even a tiny bit... I have been learning and applying for the last 18 months. I made one sale while I was sleeping... The best kind

          I still have much to apply.

          Thanks to people in the thread to point out some of the character describing factors that will hopefully help new marketers gain a little better focus on the reality of what this forum is about. Helping people helping themselves, helping others along the way

          Alexa, you would be missed

        Thank you everyone here.I would like to apologize for the lack of explanation of my thread.First off, I was introduced by my friend a “millionaire” the clickbank and then I started looked into one of the product I trusted there is a moneyback as a result,I lost all my money and did not make a even penny because trhere is nothing useful inside the prpgram.However, I tried to resell back where I set up my own landing page and getresponse email account.The one I found it very enjoyable was the getresponse is really good, I learned how to generate leads from adifly but due the lack of leads(around 500 names)and no one bought the products from clickbank since then Along the way,I tried different type of things,such as SEO,CPA,But does not go my way.

          Excuse me I would hate to be rude but sometimes I can't help it.

          I HATE when someone comes on here and complains that they didn't make money because the information in the program was bad.

          No, 90% of the time its the person...you.

          I don't know what program it was so I can't speak for it but I highly bet its because you lack the perseverance and ability to sit down really learn something and implement it correctly.

          If there was anything in the digital marketing arena that you should learn and implement it would be list building.


          Here is what you should learn everything about:

          -Creating a sales funnel[list building]
          -Driving quality traffic from reputable sources [unlike adfly]. Concentrate on Facebook PPC first because its relatively easy to learn and can get cheap targeted clicks.
          -Creating a squeeze page.
          -Basics of copywriting
          -Building trust and credibility with your list.
          -Converting people into buyers and then hyperactive buyers.
          -Upsells, downsells, cross-sells, high ticket programs.
          -Creating your own products.

          The best thing you can do is put yourself out there.

    You need to get a mentor. I want to find one also. I'm making huge mistakes that are avoidable.

    Like the day before yesterday I sent 600 people to the venus factor CB sales page and got 0 sales. Before anyone says anything, yes the traffic was targeted, but it still did not sell.

    A mentor would have told me how bad of an idea that was.

      Stop looking for "easy money" programs that won't help you.

      I guarantee you would get into the War Room and trot around from new shiny topic to new shiny topic and never really stick to anything and fail.

      I'm sorry man but just based on what I have already seen you say just based in this thread...the chances of you making and money in IM is slim to none.

        thanks for your advice TakenAction and QueenMelanie.I would take some actions and stick with it to the end.I found out that the reason why i cannot succeed was because I did not stick with it to the end.I did learn all the way from the list you mentioned above but did not stick to the end .For example,my facebook ads account was frozen which made me so upset then i was slack off for couple of months

    Judging from your question, you're doing a bit too much studying and less action taking. That's why you're not making money. If you want to make your first dollar online to boost your motivation, join Fiverr and sell services like article writing etc.

    Yet, you know it does... You just don't know how it will work for you... And guess what?

    Neither do we!!!

    So, until you decide what YOU want, and how YOU'RE going to get there...

    Keep failing... It is the best way to learn what not to do!

    By all means, ask a real question...get a real answer.

    Ask a lackadaisical question with no real enthusiasm backing it, and most likely you will have learned to read more, and post less useless threads.

    My simple advice... Start with affiliate products (and their creators)...especially those that have had great success and study what they do, what message they use to reach their target audience, and study their methods... You can do that for free, and make a few commissions as you use the tools they provide you with as an affiliate.

    Most people here get sucked in buying stuff, and never realize what made them spend money to begin with (was usually good marketing)...

    Lastly, selling services, consultation, design, physical products, ad space, used household items, antiques, collectibles... Is the same as selling advice or cheeseburgers...

    You simply determine what you wanna sell... Research the market, and either supply the solution or guide them to it. I suggest starting with the latter... Lay out the path beforehand, put up the street signs (so to speak) and guide people that which they are seeking.

    Good luck
