Hi myhmwk1976,

Welcome to 5 Star. Happy to hear your initial excitement. Sad to hear your current frustration. If you are talking about the site in your sig, what you are going through is very common for people starting out.

1st of all, the make money online - Internet marketing niche is the worst place to start for a wide variety of reasons. You are trying to compete in one of the most competitive niches, filled with sharks and pros - all feeding off newbies like you. Then too, you are a newbie trying to sell other newbies products to help them make money online, when you don't know how to make money online yet. Hate to burst your bubble, and again this is one of the most common mistakes we see.

Stop before going any further and just read all the stickies here in the newbie forum. You'll get tons of great advice on what to do and things to avoid. We don't allow anyone to try to sell anything here in the discussion forums so no one's feeding you a line to try to sell you an ebook. It's all honest advice.

Then start thinking about finding a good niche.

There are several issues with your site. You could ask for a site review down in that forum and we can give you some tips about it. However if you do, I suggest using the feedback we give you on this site review, for developing your next site on a good targeted niche and not putting more energy into this one. You could maybe fix a couple of the issues we tell you about, but you are unlikely to get very far on a free site anyway, so that's one of the big problems.

There is light at the end of the tunnel. You seem to really enjoy building sites, so just need to learn a little more and switch gears. You've gained a lot of experience and some of the most valuable lessons we learn is through mistakes. With persistence you can get where you want to go.
