I'm not asking for techniques or step-by-step instructions. I just need someone to point me in the right direction for a good starting point. I'm tired of working for other companies producing content for $5 bucks a pop and I need to start building a business of my own.

There are so many different options that I am a bit at sea on where to begin.

Any suggestions from the more experienced and preferably successful marketers in here?

You have a forum of information right at your fingertips. Read all the old stickies here and you'll be well on your way.

Definitely go through all of the threads here...

Also, I hear blogs can still be profitable...

I's start with afiiliate marketing. It's good money once you get going and there's tons of education training out there.

I would agree with born2shine, Ticktock. Affiliate marketing is the best place to start. You can do it both online and off - and I don't know of an easier system than S&E in my sig. For many, even affiliate marketing seems overwhelming to start off with though, so that has been taken into consideration when developing the S&E marketing system to go with the launch of the new product.

It's an absolute snap and doesn't require you to produce a bunch of costly marketing materials or learn to become a super recruiter overnight. Have a look at it and see if you think it might serve as a jump start for you.

Hope that helps, it's certainly the best suggestion I have for you at this time.

I can also appreciate this advice to start with affiliate marketing. I am new around here and from what I gather, people are having successful testimonies in pursuing this avenue on the internet.

Yes, it's true, Seawell, although one still have to be very choosy about who they become an affiliate for if they hope to make any money... especially if you are new to marketing.

Welcome to the forum! Tula
