Trini, I think you are making the classic newbie mistake.

ie. trying to tell others how to make money online when you're not making much yourself.

Your niche is the wrong one to attack, especially as a newbie.

True, very true. An overly saturated market is not the place to make money. People quickly see that you aren't an expert and the gurus get their next customer.

wow thanks for the comments.

i understand exactly what you're saying. my next question tho is....

how else do i go about it? any advice?

I'm really not making as much as some of the other members on the site but i guess my question is how else do I prove that the site pays and it's not a scam and that it's worthwhile for people to sign up.

without creating a site I wouldn't know how to go about this.. any help would be appreciated!

Trini - I will be blunt because I don't want to waste your time.

Forget that niche. Abandon those blogs. Consider them a learning experience. There are far easier things to promote on the internet.

Go and sign up with an affiliate marketing network like cj.com or neverblueads.com or hydramedia.com and look for one of their lead programs. Choose an easy lead form with just a few elements that your traffic has to fill out for you to get paid.

I totally agree with the guys.

Drop the make money online niche. That's where a ton of affiliates try to start and that's why most of them fail while the sharks and scammers in that niche make all the sales.

Thank you for your post! I'm really scared to venture out into affiliate marketing. I know nothing about it. But I guess I can learn right. Thanks for suggesting some sites I can join. I'm definitely going to take a look!

I agree not a good way to spend your time. However, I don't agree that you can't do this and even as someone who is new cant get other to buy into it, and make it work and profit from it. People do very well making money telling others how to do it, I can but will not point out several popular industry "experts" that speak at trade events, have blogs that people follow, and who make money doing just that - telling other how to make money, and in some cases the only online money they made was done telling other how to - and those techniques they coach are in most cases common sense and nothing you cant find for free. In my honest opinion it's a scam, but people fall for it every time. So I would like the other in this forum suggest you look into affiliate marketing and cpa networks. Maybe do some research on PPC and Organic SEO and how to convert CPA offers. There are a ton of great networks, and you will find them here in 5Star! Good luck.

There's a chance Peewee Herman would survive 12 rounds with Mike Tyson too.

It doesn't mean it's a good idea to advise Peewee to go for it.
