Good to hear things got resolved and you're having FUN with it! :)
New here to the forum. I started my habits blog back in December and haven't had many readers/subscribers just yet. I'm starting the process of relearning everything when it comes to online internet marketing and reading up as much as I can.
Thank you for creating such a valuable resource for those of us who are new to the game.
Welcome "selfstarterguide" - What is your first name, or how should we address you? :)
Hi Lynn,
You can call me "Anh" like turn the lights "on" :-).
I'm still figuring my way around this site but you bring up a good point that I should put my name somewhere so that people get to know me!
Great to meet you Anh! :)
Created a bunch of websites
Bought all the themes & plugins
Joined all the Giveaway Events
Learned HTML and some PHP
Learned a lot of "techie" stuff
Learned a bit about graphics
Spent a lot of money
Haven't made any back
That's my story and I'm sticking to it...
My best advice is to join Lynn's membership section here on the forum. You'll get her Niche Success Blueprint product that will take you step by step in the RIGHT direction. You'll want to focus on one site to start, bring it to profit and focus on growing your following with that site. Choose something that will be profitable, FUN and rewarding to work on day in day out. You also get her other products as a member plus TWO weekly live brainstorming sessions.
Lynn is a great teacher and mentor so I would highly recommend you join us! She has her special still available it seems, you can't beat 1 year for $260. Great investment:)
She has been my mentor (and friend) for many years. I'm also her assistant so I know personally the value she gives to others. Hope to see you on the inside.
That list has a lot of "tasks" on it, but it doesn't tell us what your actual business is or was. What is it that you do exactly? Or are you still looking for a business model to get started?Quote:

hello, we are doing an Start up business and working on new projects. we are an web development and digital marketing company in India.
Hi Lynn,
I've been around the block and back since getting started trying to MMO. Like a lot of people, I've bought a fair number of courses and haven't really got anywhere. My main obstacles were not having any budget and a lack of any particular skills.
Now, I have found a "mentor" if you like that feels right for me. Importantly, we are in the same country which really helps with communication. Also, you won't find him advertising with any flashy sales pages, ridiculous profit claims, photoshopped paypal statements, etc, etc.
He has over 20 years experience of IM and is coaching his own methods of Affiliate Marketing, which involves a lot of research which I have never seen before.
His emails are very informal and sets us tasks to do. I feel that I am on the right track to develop a complete online business, not just various money making schemes.
That's where I am today :D
Hi Wan,
Great to see you here again! This guy you're working with sounds like my male clone. :) I'd love to meet him, if you don't mind sharing his name and/or link. Thanks!
Hi Lynn,
Unfortunately, I couldn't send a pm to you regarding my mentor.
I didn't want to post a link in the forum, for obvious reasons.
Maybe there's another way?

Hey Lynn,
I've listened in on many of your webinars and have followed you on social media for awhile now. THANK YOU so much for your helpful posts and all the great info you share daily. :)
After all the Google updates...Panda, Hummingbird, etc...my income has been on a (very) steady decline. Before, of course, I was doing awesome. I'm sharing that in my (still upcoming) eBook. YES, It's still in the works. However, much of (this year), I've been at many stalls with the completion of it. It's about many fast and free ways newbies can make money from home. Also, sharing exactly how I made money before all the Google updates.
The beginning of the year, we lost my Dad to a bad heart valve...and a ton of things have been going on (one right after the other) this year. It's been a REALLY BAD year for me!
So, yes...been spinning my wheels through this year and struggling to get my eBook done. It WILL get done! About 3/4's of it done so far. My motivation has been non-existent. However, trying hard to stay positive. I'm also trying to expand my reach with business associates and friends through social media. ;)
That's where I'm at now. ;)
I can't believe it's almost October!! lol
I can relate Tammy - this year has really flown by, with a lot of sidetracks here as well. :rolleyes: Regarding the Google Updates, see: http://www.clicknewz.com/12713/are-blogs-dying/ In addition to that, people are simply using search - and the web in general - differently now than they were before.
What is the topic of your book? I'm curious how your past successes (that cannot be duplicated currently) are relevant. Sounds interesting!
Thanks for your reply. :)
My book is about... (copied from above in my post)
Many (actually 21) fast and free ways newbies can make money from home.
I read your post about blogs dying. Very interesting. I have (3) blogs, however, I have not had the time (or motivation) to actively do up posts on them this year.
About your post though, what I plan to do is keep my blogs AND my Facebook and Twitter presence going so I'll have both bases covered. (That is after this eBook is complete and out on the market).
Oh...there is a specific reason why I've procrastinated on the project for so long. It will be revealed in the book. I have a procrastination page.
Thanks again Lynn! :)
Lynn Terry,
I selected the third option but I actually fall between 2 and 3. I am actually moving forward but not making loads of cash - not so much.
I just started in August, but I am very grateful for the 1 client I have and the income I receive from working with her. (plus I'm learning some new things too)
This month I'm pushing myself personally to get out from behind my screen and actually interact with my audience. It's scary but I'm meeting some lovely people. It's kind of fun too.
Good luck Sara, I think it may need to take some time until you will see significant progress. https://imagicon.info/cat/6-4/1.gif

Heyy lynn
i am new here
I am looking forward to learning more from you
Thank you, Lynn Terry. I will take you up on that. By the way - good post on Fear. Definitely a common topic many share.
Yes, I think so too. I'm actually a lot further than I have been in a long time. I just need to build a support network for when my fear kicks in and stops me in my tracks. It's not that I am expecting it, but it has been my pattern for the past 15 years.
I am SO over living my life this way.
Still starting up for me. Still working on my first blog site being accessible from the internet. https://imagicon.info/cat/6-4/1.gif
Thank you - I'm glad you enjoyed that post. :) Here's the link for anyone else that wants to see the video & post: http://www.clicknewz.com/10710/fear-of-failure/Quote:

Loved your video on the fear of failure. :D
I got started with affiliate marketing too years back. Didn't go well the first time around. Now I'm working as Content Marketer at a Search Marketing Agency in Toronto.
Hi Lynn,
Presently I would say "spinning my wheels" on the new venture as you know from my other thread about it.
With my other business The web design one) that I have been running since around 2000, it is feeling more and more like a time sucking hobby rather than a business as clients seem to want a lot more, for a lot less. That is why I am trying to change my focus to the new business.
I would love for both to work, the web design part I do like doing when I have good clients who want to follow through with things and not just expect it to work without putting in either the time or the money. And when it's had spurts of being good it does help pay the bills too. As an ex web designer (from memory) was there anything you did that helped bring in better clients. I know that you being US based you had a bigger market than I do, but surely there is a way to get more clients here when statistically our small businesses are one of the lowest dedicated website up takers in the western world (still less than 50% of Australian small business owners have a website!).
I don't know.... do you think the web design part is still worth pursuing or should I just solely focus on the new venture?
Cheers
Ian
My business is doing much better than it was, but I want to be independent. I still have to have the outside sources to take care me or I have to start another business.
