Hi,
When you start off you are an easy target for various scammers and so called sure fire success suppliers, internet marketing is a marathon not a sprint. Pick a program or niche that you are conforable with then promote it on your site or if you don't have a site of your own there are thousands of affiliate programs available where you can make money promoting other peoples programs or products.
Set yourself a small budget at first and stick to it, when one of your programs starts to pay off then use the money to advertise a bit more and so on.
Start off by classified ads or writing articles and submitting them to article directories. If you have a blog then you can publish articles on your blog. Join a few traffic exchanges and forums like this one, these are great places to avoid pitfalls and to pick up tips on marketing. If you want to see a few programs that I promote then please feel free to visit my site, perhap you will find what you are looking for there.
Whatever you decide, try and give yourself tasks to perform every day, perhaps in your diary and make sure you do that task without fail and discipline yourself that way because IM is a business just like any other and if you are prepared to invest time and effort it 'will' pay off. Stay focussed, work hard and you'll be fine,
all the best,
Mal
