The Real Story
I'm going to tell the real story of how I am doing. I started this venture back in about August of 2018.
I had been retired for about ten years and was supporting a houseful of people on about $800 a month and I couldn't keep up so I decided to get into making money online.
I owned my own house along with my sister at the time but nobody was bringing a paycheck home but me.
So I decided to sell the house and get out from under the bills. This way I would have some money to invest in the business I wanted to get into, probably not very smart.
Anyway I did. The first thing I got into was Devon Brown's Easiest System Ever. I spent a few bucks on traffic but I didn't see any returns.
So he had an advertisement about the next big thing coming up so I joined it. This next big thing was Finish Line Network. After I joined they were talking about where to go to buy traffic for this.
When I went to where they suggested I found Igor Kheifets and he was selling solo ads and talking about signing up with him and letting him build my list for me so I signed up for $2,000 and let him build my list.
Well after a couple of months of no sales I ran out of money and couldn't afford to keep paying the membership cost of FLN so I was out which ment that I couldn't make any money with that app anymore.
I also partnered with Anthony Morrison and his Ambassador Club but that wasn't making any money either.
So for some reason or another I bought into Brendon Maces Pure Profit Academy which I tried to get out of except there were no refunds.
So now I'm a member of all three of these money making ventures but none of them are making any money. I'm out $6,000 but I still have the programs I can work with.
Not knowing anything about making money online I decided to join Wealthy Affiliate and I've been working hard on trying to get a handle on what's going on in here.
Meanwhile I have a 7500 e mail list I think I'm about to lose because I can't get anyone to open my emails.
I've been under the weather now for about five days and when I came back to wealthy affiliate to continue. It seems that I'm lost.
Right now I'm totally confused I don't really recall where I was it's like I'm in a total fog trying to figure out everything at once.
I really don't know what to do next but I know I need to do something with my list but I'm not sure how any suggestions. Please help

Hi Robert,
Ok, first thing, take a big breath. You sound very overwhelmed. Have you followed the training here so that you can understand how to start a business? That's your first step. When you get a solid foundation built under your business, you can start using your email list.
Kyle has training on email marketing which will help you: Introduction to Email Marketing And Jay has some awesome webinars on the topic as well: Email Marketing 2018: Writing Emails that Convert Creating a Follow Up Sequence He has more as well. Just type "email marketing" in the search bar above, and quite a bit shows up.
I hope this helps,
Suzanne
Thank you very much for reading my blog. I know what you are saying is true and you're right so I have decided to go back and do the training all over again until I understand exactly what it's all about. Funny how a few days off will make you forget something like that. I wish you all the best and thanks again.

Hi Robert, you are not alone when it comes to spending money and not getting any results. WA has a lot of advantages and the help from other members is incredible. Like suzieq, mentioned, well kind of. Sit down, three deep breaths, no more or less. Shake your body around, big stretches. Have your favorite beverage and when you are ready go conquer any and all obstacles that may stand in your way of accomplishing what you rightfully deserve. Do your best to save that 7500 e-mail list. Use it right now to set the stage.
I can not add anymore to the tools suzieq has listed. Robert, there will be times when you may stop to question yourself. I do, all the time. I wish you all the very best.
Thank you for taking the time. I plan to do just that until it becomes second nature. I wish you all the best.
Robert
