I decided to go on a quest to find out how some of the Internet Marketing Gurus made there first buck. I mean they were not born with this gift; they had to have started out somewhere.
I asked the question “What was the first thing you did to consistently produce a profit online?” These were some of the answers I got.
I would not call myself a Guru per say , but the first thing I did on the Internet - and still doing, actually - is being a ghostwriter and write articles. It may not be the most profitable thing you can do on the Internet, but it's an easy to get started (as long as you have some research and writing skills, that is). I also wrote and sold a public speaking course using a basic model.
My first income came by selling my affiliate products on my site. It didn't make much money at first though, but after I learned about Pre-selling strategies and started my own newsletter, I started to see some results. But my real income came when I started working on building a list and building relationships with my subscribers. After that, I Taylor made several products based on what I found my subscribers were interested in. As you can guess, when you have a great list and a product that your subscribers want, success will just come.
The first money I made on the web was in graphic designing. I had the option to continue with it but decided I wanted to concentrate more of Affiliate Marketing and others Ventures. I also tried adsense for a couple months, did not make much money with it only a couple of dollars a day, got a bit frustrated with it and then got back into Affiliate Marketing. And now, I sell my own products and still do affiliate marketing.
It was from a sale of one of my affiliate programs. My Commission was $25.46 and came through to my bank account thru paypal. It took me almost a year to make that first sale...mainly that long because I never focused on my strengths and always jumped around looking for the "overnight get rich quick secret". Things have changed a lot since then, and very soon I will be 100% independent from a day job thanks to Internet Marketing. Remember what ever you get into it will always take time and effort.
Well, it took me some time to turnaround that first profit, not to mention a decent amount of hard work. I tried just about everything that an Internet Marketer can think of...well almost everything. First thing I did was write an e-book to sell. I'm still a huge fan of selling information to this day, I also sold Action figures on eBay and thought: great this is a nice way to make money, what else can I do? Then I got into affiliate marketing and that has paid well too.
These were some of the comments I got, Personally In my experience, what I found was that my failure or success had nothing to do with whether or not the method actually worked, but whether I belonged in what I was promoting. Some of us will never be good in some areas so don't be afraid to move around and try different things until we find what works for you. Remember to be successful in anything it takes time and effort so be patient and work hard and you will get results.
Oh I made my first profit in Google Adsence and still making money with it.

* Keyword optimize your posts to attract search engines to index your blog and place you high in search engine returns. Search engines like Google love fresh web site content and blogs featuring regular new content which can find blogs ranking higher in search engine returns than conventional sites focusing on similar subjects.
* Unusual and cryptic blog posts encourage people to visit regularly to stay up-to-date with content. People are naturally very curious and will be keen to call back later to read answers to questions posted by themselves and fellow members or to check winning answers for a competition run recently at the blog. Regular visits grows traffic daily which gains credibility from search engines and lead to high search engine rankings.
* An online community, such as most blogging platforms provide, leads to people visiting regularly to communicate with friends and fellow members, making this a good way to generate clicks on AdSense and affiliate links featuring alongside other people's posts.
* Outsiders can use other people's blogs to offer advice and information to fellow members and to recommend products those people might choose to buy.
* Blog posts can be created purely to grow traffic to other sites, such as affiliate sites, and to generate incoming links and search engine traffic to those other sites. You could, for example, have a blog featuring recent news items from many different subject areas which link back to longer articles at individual niche subject blogs. So, for example, you might have blogs focusing on dogs, cats, air travel, helping children cope with bullying at school, and hundreds of different subjects. But you only need one blog to feature news items relating to all of those subjects where each one of those posts links directly to individual subject blogs.
* Blogs can be used short term for posts linked to current Google Hot Trends. Hot Trends are what the name implies and can involve many thousands of people searching daily for information which is currently in short supply. Once a trend grows hot the savvy blogger creates blogs featuring information about those hot new trends and monetises them with AdSense or affiliate products. Few advertisers might currently exist for recent hot trends making this a good time to use low cost AdWords to promote the new blog before other AdWords users jump on the bandwagon and send AdWords costs soaring. But that trend can be short term and generate interest and traffic for just a few days, or even just a few hours. This means it's rarely a good idea to build and upload a conventional site to cash in on the current hot trend. That's because new sites can take hours or even days to create and weeks or even months to be indexed by main search engines. But a blog is a different matter altogether, it can be created in minutes, and can begin generating traffic right away, either from using low cost pay per click ads. or by growing fast and free traffic from high traffic networking sites.
