After 2.5 years, I FINALLY reached $5000 per month status

Hi guys,

I'm usually asking bunch of questions here on the warrior forum because i just ask lots of questions period.

anyways...last month, i FINALLY for the FIRST TIME made $5,000
in one month...

it took me about 2.5 years AFTER finding the warriorforum...
and i've been studying internet marketing on and off for over 9 years
to be exact...

but i started really learning after i found this forum...
thank you guys...

and for those of you who want to know how i did it, this is the
basic method i used...

1) I found a unique smaller niche
2) I created eBook
3) I sold through clickbank
4) I created MORE advanced topic ebooks (related to niche) and sold more to my growing list.
5) I marketed MAINLY through 3 marketing tactics
- article marketing
- video marketing
- email marketing

I did this with several unique niches out there (mostly outside of internet marketing).

I find that it's easier to make money with non-IM niches because
the non-IM niches has less people who are business savvy (generally)
and thus the MOST basic internet marketing tactics STILL work powerfully.

ALSO, there are MANY WAYS to bring traffic to website
but i MAINLY focused on the 3 ways (articles, videos, email marketing)

i don't do google adwords, i'm not very technical type of guy, i only have one membership site right now (need to do more), i don't have a huge staff (just have several writers for articles, ebooks, etc).

internet marketing has not been easy...like i said, i owe a lot of my
success to the people who have helped me with their advice
here on warriorforum...

i was one of those guys who had studied internet marketing, ebay
over 9 years ago when i was a freshman in college...BUT I FAILED
for MANY MANY years...only made around $500 back then through ebay...

but after finding out the WARRIORFORUM...and asking many questions (yes, i admit i did ask lots of questions), i was able to really make progress little by little...

my first month after finding warriorforum, i made around $50 per month...
that was May of 2007...by end of 2007, i made around $1000 per month...

by end of 2008, i made around $2000 per month...
and now almost end of 2009, i am making $5000 per month...

my goal is to reach $10,000 per month by end of this year...hopefully
because i STILL have lots of things to do...

anyhow...to all the guys in warriorforum who have answered any of my many questions on here...i just want to say thank you for your generosity and help...

again, i don't consider myself a very technical type of guy and whenever i needed help, you guys have been there for me...thanks so much!

take care guys...

BJ

    Big time Congratulations!

    Thats so awesome!

    You give a lot of us some pretty big inspiration there!

    May I ask, how long have you been a part of the war room and how
    big of a contribution did it have to your success?

    Cheers.

    hi davidomni,

    i found the warriorforum about may of 2007...
    i joined war room when it first came out...

    but to be honest with you, i spend more time
    at the warrior forum than war room...

    warriorforum has helped me...but that doesn't
    mean i was just hanging out and reading everything out
    there...

    instead, i used warriorforum as a TOOL to help
    my business...

    so if i had a problem with my business (or didn't
    know how to fix a technical problem), i would
    ask a question on the forum...or i would search it on
    the warriorforum search engines...

    i just want to make that clear...becuase so many new guys
    getting into this think they have to learn and learn and learn and learn...

    my advice is to STOP LEARNING...and START TAKING ACTION!

    ...in fact, you will LEARN MORE by TAKING ACTION...

    and you will see RESULTS FASTER by TAKING ACTION...

    sorry about capitalizing...but that really needs to be emphasized...most likely you already know more than you need to know...you already know ENOUGH to start a website and create an ebook and get it running...

    if you know it...then DO IT!

    so use warriorforum as a TOOL...as a MEANS to your end...to achieve your goal...

    not just as a hangaround place to learn and learn...although that's cool too...but know that taking ACTION must be your priority...

    BASICALLY to SUM IT UP:

    Spend more time TAKING ACTION than learning...

    Omar,

    with all my niches, i try to follow my 50/50/50 rule...

    that is:
    - 50 ezinearticles
    - 50 youtube videos
    - 50 emails (using autoresponder...i use aweber btw)

    after i do that with several niches...whatever makes more
    money, i make that 50/50/50 into 100/100/100...

    - 100 ezinearticles
    - 100 youtube videos
    - 100 emails (autoresponder)

    again...that's all i do man...like the 80/20 rule....the 80% of my results come from 20% of your work...which is the 3 marketing tactics...
    - article marketing
    - video marketing
    - email marketing (autoresponders)

    i probably send about around 2 broadcast emails to my lists per month...
    but sometimes less and sometimes more...

    Thank you for all your help!

    I might start promoting one of your clickbank offers if you havn`t already killed the competition! lol

    One more question,
    Do you have a email series?
    Or do you just do email blasts?

    Thanks again!
