there are 100s of guys here that aren't making big money yet (including me), but try/fail has to at least tell you not to make the same errors

if you've been buying ebooks for 5 years and still don't get that you won't find a real "method to make money" maybe it's time to try something else...don't you think?

read http://www.wickedfire.com/newbie-questions/9651-wf-treasure-trove-articles-threads-read.html and everything you find here on wickedfire before spending another dollar in ebooks or other crap
 
I have been doing this for nine months now. All I can say is the 30 or 35 domains/sites I have tried I have netted enought to cover my cost for teh registering, hosting of the sites. So I am happy there and that helps me stay motivated when I have a new idea I want to try, directories are next. Now I did spend some on adwords at the beginning (about $300 total) and saw nothing rally from it so I stopped that. But I don't let the advertising cost hold me back any cause you will have them.

So what have I learned in my nine months. First read every post you can and if you can't recal something but know it was covered, jsut asked and there is someone who will always link it. You might have to take a few comments or two sometimes depeding on the topic. Then take what you have learned and try it. Then take what you have learned from that test run and apply it to your next and so one. Then go back and refine your first trys and see if you can make them better. That is what I have done with my sites. I am focusing on going back over all my 30 or so sites and seeing what I can do to them to make them better with new ads or converting them to some other format.

My goal now is to be more agressive with my sites and see what I can return now that I pretty much consider my learning curve is over. So I came into this with a 1 year goal to learn all I can and play and learn more. So I am ready to now take what I have learned and convert it into something so I can replace my office space job with a better one. And that is what i have planned for me in 2008.

Now 5 years... I would have to re-evaluate my situation and reorganize somehow. unless you have a 5 year plan learning curve.

Honestly, I was the one who started as failure. At 3 years ago, I had ended up the first year, one full year with erm..
- 2 sales on CJ and earned $6 for commissions!!
- Adsense for $0-2 a month!!
I was the one who failed to archive success with PPC either. I did learn and try to use PPC for 4 times and failed. Loosed about $500 a month and earned almost nothing.

The reasons I failed? Because I did following others people method which claimed their succeed. Same method may not work in the same way for all people.

For now, I have earned about $30-$120 a day from an affiliate, combined both CJ and shareasale and about $30 a day from adsense with only 4 sites and $500 a month from TLA. Not a big success but 90% profits isn't bad at all. I have success because I finally found the way which work for me and may be only me. My point is, you have to find the way for yourself and do it hard. May be a risky but fail and learn is the way to archive success in a long term. No one really want to tell you a path which really work for them, unless a rubbish one and trying to sell you their fucktarded e-book. Use your own sense, if that method works for them like crazy, why they have to tell you or give you or sell you $99 ebook or even $999 ebook which may not worth enough for their proven method absolutely.
 
If you want to make it, don't buy into any "systems". Maybe invest in an established website on DP, that'll give you a steady stream of income and an understanding of what makes a websites work.

As for adwords, you can make money. If I can make money, any moron can make money. You just have to be creative, and put 100% into the campaign. That means multiple landing pages, testing thousands of keywords, testing ad variations, promoting different products, split testing offers across networks, and tracking everything.

There is no "easy way", but compared to bagging groceries or putting shingles on roof tops, I've got the easiest job in the world. I work my ass of to make it happen though.
