<p>If you&#8217;ve been a newbie for over a year, then you might be a redneck.</p>
<p>No seriously, if you are a newbie right now, then you need to stop being a newbie and start selling stuff. In fact, just get a squeeze page up and send traffic to it.</p>
<p>If you do that, then you&#8217;ll be further along than 95% of all newbies right away.</p>
<p>Send traffic to a squeeze page, and you&#8217;re in business.  That&#8217;s it.</p>
<p>Want to make six figures per year?  send enough traffic to a squeeze page that you build a list of 5,000 subscribers or more.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m now fully convinced that people dont make money because of the BARRIERS they put up that prevents them from making money.</p>
<p>BARRIERS = mindset, making things harder than what they are, self sabotage, fears, overwhelmed, buying too much, lost, analysis paralysis or whatever the heck that is, etc etc</p>
<p>If you just put up a squeeze page and sent traffic to it, you&#8217;d be in the game&#8230; instead of on the sidelines wondering what to do and how to do it.</p>
<p>dont know where to start?</p>
<p>traffic to a squeeze page.  that&#8217;s it.  start there.</p>
<p>focus 98% of your time on that, and nothing else and just watch what happens.</p>
<p>Look, the best way to learn anything is to do it.  The best way to learn this business is to do this business.</p>
<p>Once you are sending traffic to a squeeze page, the rest is easy&#8230;just promote stuff via emails. dont overcomplicate things and if someone posts below in this thread complicating this, ignore them.</p>
<p>It really is that easy.</p>
<p>(you make it sound so easy Eric)</p>
<p>IT IS!</p>
<p>If you are not making any money, it is because you are not selling anything.</p>
<p>(but Eric, I have a squeeze page)</p>
<p>Are you sending traffic to it constantly?</p>
<p>(but Eric, I am using articles and twitter)</p>
<p>Neither have ever made me a dime. I&#8217;m not saying they dont work, but I cant speak for those methods. But, if you&#8217;ve been at those methods for more than a few weeks, then that&#8217;s a lot of time to spend for nothing.</p>
<p>I would never put my income on the line where it depends on Twitter or articles. That&#8217;s just me. Feel free to disagree. I dont care.</p>
<p>Paid traffic<br />
Affiliates</p>
<p>That&#8217;s what has worked for me.  Again, twitter may be great for traffic, I just would not focus my effort there.  <acronym title="Search Engine Optimization">SEO</acronym> works too, I&#8217;m just not good at it.</p>
<p>So, if you wonder why so many never make any money in this business, it&#8217;s because they cant get traffic&#8230; they never-ever get started anyway&#8230; they are never selling anything&#8230; they offer no services&#8230; they sell nothing&#8230; they buy everything&#8230; they never treat this like a business&#8230; they just read, post, buy, read, post, buy, disappear for a while, come back, buy, post, read&#8230; etc etc etc</p>
<p>&#8230;for years</p>
<p>and are still newbies.</p>
<p>Sell something!</p>
<p>Eric</p>
