If I tell you what I went through before actually finding my footing online you'll pity my situation even though I don't want you to pity my status but I want you to learn "one or two" things from what I went through. Here is my story!
I got to know about internet marketing in 2006{ that's five years ago now} when I attended a forex seminar in my country{Nigeria} which I later jettisoned due to lack of funds because hey! you'll need huge capital to do forex trading.
So I abandoned that, I was going to the cybercafe{that's the Nigerian language for internet browsing centers} frequently to check mails and majorly chat with friends. You know! Everybody likes chatting especially youths that's why facebook is hottest right now!
Then I got to know about an advertising program that supposedly pays me what you'll refer to as "peanuts" for clicking on some ads{this is called PTC/PTR} but there's this particular PTC site called link2communion that captivated me then, it says "make $2800 for clicking on ads" Wow!
So I looked at it and said to myself "This must be a quick way to make money online" and I went for it and was burned, I got burnt in the sense that I lost my hard earned $20 due to my ignorance as a beginner. unknowningly to me this was actually one out of the numerous scam site online!
Later on I went into other areas like surveys, payperpost, cpa, affiliate marketing, data entry, and the likes. There's no aspect of internet marketing have not tested.
I have tried it all but none have given me financial independence! Why? because I wasn't doing the right thing as I am always looking for quicker ways to make money online. Typical of a beginner who believes money fly around online like leaves falling from a tree.
I remember when I was trying out affiliate marketing then, I would search for any product{whether low quality or not}, get the affiliate link and start promoting just like that!
Telling people to buy! buy! buy! and at the end of the day nobody would even look at what am selling twice. Why are people not buying because I was "hard selling" but of course I didn't know this as a beginner and had no one to tell me!
Later on, I discovered "blogging" through wordpress, then I created a back pain blog with it which was doing fine but was not giving me the kind of money I had expected because I was impatient and greedy so I drop it.
Much later I discovered Google's blogger as well! In less than few days I had learned to use the interface due to it's simplicity.
I created several blogs with it on various topics but there's these particular one that I maintained even up till now the blog still exists, it was on back pain. I called it www.backspains.blogspot.com a very informative blog on back pain that educate the minds of the average back pain sufferer.
Presently, I have a hosted blog and the major driving force behind it was to help beginners coming in online because I discovered of all the blogs and websites we have online there is no one that is centered around new enterprenuers.
The truth is online "nobody wants to assist anybody", that's the mentality people has, everyone wants to make money at the expense of the other person. Just like the saying goes "every man for himself and God for us all".
So if you are a beginner online and hoping to find your footing, the first thing you want to do is get information by reading anything from books to articles to newsletters, blogs, etc because information is power. So that you don't fall into wrongs hands who will take advantage of your innocence.
Have a Fulfilled online career ahead!
