You're looking for the magic formula. There is none. You can ask on every webmaster board out there and you will get a thousand different attempted answers. This business is dynamic not static. What works today won't work tomorrow. I've been in this business since 1984. I've seen things make lots of money and seen things lose lots of money.
The traditional steps are consistent here however like in every business.
1. Location, Location, Location. - you need good real estate.
2. Hard work - the most successful guys in this business are at their core nonstop workaholics, that doesn't mean regular work always, because even spending time on GFY is work if you do it right. Hard work always works no matter what the endeavor. The lack of I'm not going to stop til I get this persistence to goal achievement is where you see the hard workers fail however.
3. Capital - you can start with virtually near zero $, though the less you have the more you'll need to compensate and get the balance right in other ways in any business. But as a general rule of thumb, it does take money to make money, because you have to be able have core tools in place and money to hold out til you hit.
4. Knowledge or Talent - you need both in any business. And must constantly keep abreast of your marketplace and everything happening in it. This is another area where you see the ball dropped frequently.
5. Marketing prowess - if you're not into marketing, quit now, this business like all businesses operates in a highly competitve marketplace. The guys that are marketing geniuses in any business know how to find and make people buy what they're selling. Want the best place to learn marketing? Go work in a hardcore telemarketing room, and buddy up with the pro's in there. What you'll learn there will give you all the skills you need to sell anything, even the brooklyn bridge.
6. Uniqueness - the imitators are late to the table in any business. The innovators get the gold.
7. Advertising - This is my favorite part of this and any business. Its an art form and most people don't have a clue how to do it right. This is where creativity shines best.
There are a few more, but those are some of the important things.
Bottom line, its a casino in here pure and simple. If you are not a gambler with your time or money, get out now because the house always wins. And you will only make the big money in this business when you understand how to become the house. Oh and there is no solid single formula for that process either. And btw, you can do that starting with zero money if you are clever and extremely shrewd and talented as a motherfucker in marketing, networking and doing dealz. Dealz is the closest thing to being the key component that will make or break you into the big leagues. The guys at the top of this game are all master dealmakers.
And lastly lighten up and chill the fuck out. Your attitude blows wind big time. Attitude is on that list also. I've seen so many guys wreck their businesses just on attitude alone. Don't expect to make a post like you did, especially on a board called Go Fuck Yourself, and not get a lot of posts coming back that are harsh on you.
You're asking for someone to show you the way to Oz, well there are many roads to the vault and no one can tell you them all or will tell you all the things you need to do.
As John Rockefeller, whose right up there on the Bill Gates level of business and entrepreneurial success, said "I have ways of making money you know nothing of, nor will you ever know."
