If this is MLM, it will be shut down. MLM is a banned topic on this forum.

The concepts and success principles I want to share are through everything I've done online. Not through just MLM. I created this thread to shed some light on anyone looking to get started with an online business. I hope that's fine.

So I would like to ask you a question,

How you made your first money while struggling as beginner? Which method turned out to be the best? Affiliate marketing or something else?

Hey Kano,

First, thanks for the AMA.

Second, assuming you start from ground 0 (no assets) can you expand a bit on these topics:

1. How do you precisely, (in detail) find a need (a pain to solve) in the market you choose. Examples are more than welcome.
2. Have you ever done a product launch? If so, can you walk us through the process?
3. What type of traffic you find the most lucrative? Paid (media buy) or "free" (Search Engines)?



Thanks.

If you're just starting out, yes, I'd have to say look into affiliate marketing. Research which markets you want to get into and don't wait to start with list building and email marketing.

Hey Kano,

Thanks.

1) What is your intention? Do you want to promote a product in a specific market and earn commissions as an affiliate? Or do you want to create a product?

If you're looking to do market research, you can use Google's Keyword Tool or "Keyword Planner" to do keyword research and find monthly search volume estimates to see what people are interested in.

2) There are multiple ways to do product launches. The standard way is to set a date of launch, and have JV's all promote that offer on the day of release. You'll need an email list or multiple, depending on if you have JV's or not.

"The money is in the list"

3) Traffic is traffic. As long as it's targeted, and you can make that traffic convert - you'll make money. I'd recommend SEO for beginners, Media Buys/paid advertising is a bit more tricky.

I hope that's fine.

Promoting/discussing an MLM is not fine-- you were doing that on another thread. Additionally, affiliate marketing is usually another topic that is not a focus of this forum. There are the "W" forums for that (Wicked, Warrior) etc.

Fastlane is about big pictures and creating your own-- not about being a swab of paint in someone elses.

Tread carefully.

I think an online business is a great income source and can potentially serve as a great way to raise capital - if you can make it work.

So what is your main source of income? What is the product/service that do you sell?

MLM bullshit, as I pointed out previously. What is the AMA about? How to make Other people money?
