[auradev]

Wow, its awesome to see that people really do make lots of money with this, but also good to show that it actually does take work.

[riczsabido]

Wow. Truly inspirational! Congratulations Adam!

Jumping from one product to the other was also my main problems on my early years...been with that spiral for almost a year!

You are right - FOCUS and DETERMINATION are what it takes to succeed online. Master one skill at a time.

I feel very overwhelmed. Lately, over the past couple of months, I have been going absolutely crazy trying to build my business and earn money...

Guys, I have been in front of my computer for at least 12-16 hours A DAY for the past couple months. I wake up, get on the computer and work myself until I just cannot concentrate any longer, to the point where I'm almost in a 'dead stare' at my PC.

This month, I have hit the 5 figures mark...It is very, very exciting to have over 10k right now...But let me tell ya, It is VERY, VERY overwhelming for me...I don't know how to react to it and my emotions are going hay-wire.

It's like, in the back of my mind I know that I'm basically financially free, I have the knowledge to make money with absolutely nothing more than my brain, fingertips, and my laptop anywhere in the world. However, my brain doesn't want to accept it, it seems too good to be true that my life is actually going this way.

Now I'm sitting here thinking that this is absolutely crazy, there's no way this is actually happening to me.

So what did I do? Nothing special at all. Seriously, if I told you guys right now that I used any particular method to finally have achieved my goals I would be lying.

It's not just from websites, it's not just from articles, it's not just from selling products, building a list, or adwords it's because of everything...All of it. Hard to explain really.

There's only one thing that is responsible for this I think. And I think it's the fact that I lit a fire under my rear, glued myself to my laptop, taken a break from 90% of my social life and starting taking as much action as I possibly could on the simplest of things we all know works.

What I found to be that absolute clincher in my overwhelming success in Internet marketing is the ability to work on only one thing at a time until it's done. In internet marketing, once you complete a project usually it will pay you for months, years or even forever.

Let me tell you, there is no magic bullet. Building websites, building a list, paid advertising, joint ventures, selling products, etc are all ways that absolutely anybody can make money online.

90% of everything you've learned about Internet marketing works...But focusing all of your energy, your heart...YOUR SOUL at your goals things will change.

I don't care if can only build a site good enough to make .50 cents a day...If you can make .50 cents a day, $15 a month you should focus every bit of your willpower to turn that .50 cents a day, into $50 a day.

I wish there was something I could say, or something I could do that would make it click in some of your heads, that you ALREADY have all the knowledge, power and skills to live a financially free life with Internet marketing... But all I can say is to TAKE ACTION, and take action like nothing else in the world exists, until you accomplish your goals.

To be honest, I don't know what to do, or how to take it. This moment in my life right now is just unreal.

I want to see if I can provide a super simple plan of action that anybody can follow to eventually achieve the same results as I.

Here's my 7 step action plan

1 - Choose a method or strategy of online marketing that interests you. Could be building websites, building a list, getting clients, using adwords, creating products...Whatever. Just find a method that interests you that will simply work when you take action and practice.

2 - Learn as much as you can about the method or strategy you chose, and get that method to make you $1 online. Seriously, do something, and make just a buck, at least.

3 - REALIZE that you have actually made money from the Internet, your computer, the electronic devise you're touching right now. Make it sink into your head that you made money here and that you can make more.

4 - FOCUS ON THAT ONE METHOD.
TAKE ACTION ON THAT ONE METHOD
DO NOTHING ELSE BUT THAT ONE METHOD

5 - MASTER THAT METHOD

6 - After mastering, HIRE SOMEBODY TO DO THAT METHOD FOR YOU (BAM now that income is on autopilot)

7 - REPEAT STEPS 1-6 until you reach your goals.

I think it would be safe to assume that over 90% of people who read this, already know of at least one method that can make them money online. There's no need to jump through hoops my friend, you already know the 'secrets', the 'magic bullets'.

You could literally, have a brief look around the Main Internet Marketing Discussion forum here, the SEO forum, the CPA forum or the War Room and I can guarantee, without spending a dime, you'll learn of a method that can make you money.

You can do it, all you have to do is light a fire under your rear and FORCE YOURSELF to take action on methods you already know work.

I posted this in the SEO forum on accident, meant to post in the make money online forum. MODS please feel free to move this over. Don't have the option to delete own posts for some reason.

Adam - congratulations to you! Regardless of the forum, your message is powerful. I completely agree - without purchasing even 1 course, someone could learn many different ways to build their business.

Congrats again!

I almost missed one of the best and truthful posts of the year.

I remember when I made my first couple of cents in Adsense a couple of years ago, everyone else didn't understand why I was so happy but I knew I could grow cents into dollars and I did. It didn't seem real until I received a check from Google and it still doesn't sometimes.

I agree with all of your points, especially the one about having most people know more than they realize. New marketers have just enough (in some cases more than enough) information to get started and take action. Experiencing information overload is a sure way to not get anything done or become overwhelmed.

Start small and grow from there. Wonderful post; should help both new and expanding marketers.

[digichik]

Thank you for sharing the inspiration and the motivation. Really super happy for you. Here's a triple dose of good Karma for you.

[KevinTorrence]

Congrats on your IM success! It's always awesome to hear more stories like this.

And thanks for the reminder to stick one thing out until it's running solid. I tend to get started on a second project once I find something that's working well for me. I end up with too many things on my plate and 2 projects running "so-so" instead of just 1 solid project. Your post helped remind me to stay focused.

Congratulations!

If all remains simpler than many make things seem to be, things will fall into place much easier, because the truth is, Internet marketing is a very, very simple thing.

Unfortunately that's the problem that many marketers have when starting their online business - They fail to focus their efforts on a single goal and give up just prior to seeing the rewards from all their hard work.

You mention writing just one article and submitting it to EZA...However, if a person were to choose a niche and write 1 article a day for EZA in support of that niche while simultaneously building 1 new page on their website in support of that niche at the end of the year they would have a healthy 365 page website and at a minimum 365 published articles working on their behalf.

If each page on their website and each article generated a single new vistor a day they would have 730 new visitors to their site each day which is more then enough traffic to make a living from for any website properly monetized.

Respectfully,
Tim

[GeraldGigerl]

That´s an excellent feat Adam and reading your story was
an inspiration itself. Congratulations man.

I heard now so many times that working hard doesn´t pay off, I
don´t believe that since a whole lot.

It´s a combination of both, working hard and smart, and by being
consistent pretty much everything is possible.

Great job!

Thanks for your reply James, I had somewhat forgotten about this thread.

I really didn't expect such a response and it feels great knowing that I have inspired and helped improve the mindsets, focus goals and motivation in so many. In the end, that's all it really boils down to, working on just one thing that is scalable until you reach your goals.
