    Absolutely.


    You can have dozens of websites without any name whatsoever attached to them and make money. I've certainly done it.


    You don't even need a website actually, can just build out email lists direct and cut down a step.


    People online often use themselves to create a personality brand. Not a requirement at all to get rich :-)

      Seems you've only scratched the surface where the sellers who appeal to NEW marketers hang out. Don't buy the hype - look deeper.

      Most gurus make most, of their money by being a guru and selling how they made money selling how they made money products to people looking to make money. At least in the make money space.

      There are exceptions and as you get outside of the make money space, more gurus walk their talk.

      But there are people you will never hear about who are rich and make more money in a month than gurus make in a year.

      So you definitely can create wealth without having to do so by selling how you did it.

      Although there is nothing wrong with sharing your success with others.

      But like you, some people prefer to just make money.

        I wonder how many gurus have overlords (marionnettiste) controlling their actions?

      There are lots of real gurus out there. How can you tell them apart from the fakes? They don't charge to teach people. Their blogs show you how to make $

    You'd be surprised how many people are making 6,7,8 (even 9 figures) doing marketing in the shadows.

    You'll know once you become part of some high end mastermind groups. In fact, you'll notice that the more successful they are, the less they promote even if they are asked to. Self promotion is almost non-existent.

    It is possible just don't publicize your name. But in my opinion, it's better to show your face out there. Let people know that you exist. It really helps you make money.

    If still don't want to show your face , then build a brand. There is no other way around. But trust me people like to work with real people instead of a name.

    Here is a funny bit of info. There is about 3 people who provide about 65 percent of all solo ads. No joke. Everyone else is a reseller and some are a reseller to a reseller and only a few people know who these three people are. Most have never even heard of these guys. They do not go around and publicly announce who they are or coach or teach anyone anything.

    It is actually pretty funny when one of them something happens the whole solo world goes tops side. There is soo many people scrambling to buy and not enough people selling. Hilarious.

    Last time it happened I made 12k in one day selling solo ads trying to vie for power myself and get in some of the action and hopefully steal away some of those resellers from the top 3. I know they have to be making at least 100k a day. Minimum. Just from solo ads. Not to mention there own promotions to there list. Ohhhhh hooo man these guys are rich and only a few people know who they really are.

      $36,500,000 per year selling solo ads to a relatively small community......

      Sure.

      That does not work.

      Bitcoin is NOT anonymous. Its easily traceable. And so many people lost TON of money over past 12 months when Bitcoin went from $700 to $230. Its ok to move money from country to country for less fees than banks/PayPal, but not even close for actual anonymity.

      Holding money in Bitcoin is terrible idea as it can lose value suddenly. Its just like holding it in volatile speculative stock.

    There are a lot of marketers online who are doing really well but don't want everyone to know about it.

    You have 2 options when you start to make the big money.

    Option 1: You can tell everyone you know and people online that you rich and create your own products to sell what you know.

    2. You can make a lot of money but keep this to yourself.

    Yes there are and you can still be honest and provide value at the same time. One way if you want to blog and build awareness is when doing your demographic research of your potential customer create yourself a pen name.

    Understand making a milllion bucks comes down to providing a million dollars worth of service to the marketplace. Supply and demand!

    You can research your markets and niches and what the supply and demand is and you can easily affiliate with other company or product owners. If your thinking of using the Internet to make create your million bucks then good for you. You most surly have a tool available to do it with. The Internet comes down to getting traffic (which can be easy) and converting that traffic. (which can be easy to) There are dozens of different ways to market and produce sales without exposing yourself while providing a quality service and products at the same time.

    A simple and fast way to get traffic for your offer is to use the google keyword planner tool and research keyword phrases that get a lot of traffic that are buyer targeted. Then take that same keyword and past it into google and start going through the results checking each website in the search results for advertising options. You can place a banner or a text ad on some of these sites and simple direct the traffic to a sales page or a landing page.

    Thing to be aware of is that sometimes it takes optimizing your campaign to start to get good traffic from it. Once you can get people clicking on your ad then they need to take what ever action it is you desire them to take.

    Master that and you can print your own money! ;-)

    I think that if you want to make money online and create a stable and reliable income you must have your face on your blog. If you rely only on anonimous websites I don't think you can create a long term income.

    Absolutely. That's where using a pen name, corporate structure, and trusts, etc. come into play. There are plenty of anonymous wealthy people out there.

      is it wrong if i fake my stories? building my reputation through a fictional character that portrayed as a charming internet entrepreneur/marketer with lots of interesting life stories.
      people keep saying 'fake it till you make it'.
      i believe there are people out there that have not completely honest about their life stories, but they still make big money.

    Why would you want to remain anonymous? It's called branding and building a presence of loyal followers . People buy from who they know, like and trust.
