Speaking of money...Are you for real?

7 replies
After reading SanJose's post about how many people make over 3000 a month, I'm wondering how much of what is in salesletters is true. When you see these clickbank screen shots are they real or is there some person(s) making fake clickbank screen shots?

To sum it up. In your opinion/experience how many people are faking the funk?

    most are real...

    the issue is not if they are real or not... its where did the money come from.

    for example... if i had screenshots about how i made $1MM selling books online.

    and failed to mention that i was on oprah which resulted in $999,990 of the $1MM in sales... that is not a realistic result...

    so look at what they are up too... a little poking around and you can find out exactly what they sell and how they sell it... its not rocket science... just a little investigating.

    also pay attention to the profit margins... its easy to break even LOL

    No clue. How do I know about some specific sales letter?

    But can $3,000 per month online be done? Heck, try for 4-5 serious months and you shall know. And unless you hide your brain while working, chances are high that you shall have a positive experience.

    So all I am saying is that while I am not aware of the person you are talking about, but $3,000 and even $30,000 per month are all very realistic possibilities as long as you keep using your brains, your senses and your smart work (which may or may not be hard work, depending upon you).

    I`m newbie in this business, but I tell you that I know people who live on it. However, going through sales pages on the net, most of them are very familiar. Testimonials are important IMO, but I prefer not to have one unless is real, not from fellow marketer who make me a favor. There is thread somewhere here about it. Also, one can find tutorials on YT how to make fake Clickbank stats. If it was as easy as those stats shows, than there wouldn`t be poor in the world. I`d prefer to stay and built my reputation as real and honest. Will I make it? Time will show. At the moment I still learn As none native English speaker I tried hard to make front page as I could. Soon text will be revised by native after all.

    Not necessarily fake, although there are a lot of fakes about.

    To put it simply: How much do you think Walmart would make if they had only one store selling only one product?

    They make a lot of money because they sell a lot of different products in a lot of different stores.

    In IM that would be tantamount to selling a lot of info products ( and/or tangible products) plus having a lot of affiliates and different landing pages.

    Yes there are single products that sell a lot and a lot of businessmodels rely on that premise (apple Iphone, Big Pharma´s Blockbuster meds) but more commonly you will see a marketer having a number of sites selling different products, perhapssome created by that person,some sold as an affiliate) and a lot of people selling her/hisp roducts as an affiliate, plus Advertising revenue, plus CPA offers...

    The way I see it it is more realistic to make a million by selling a thousand products with a price tag of $1000 than it is to sell a single product with a $1000000 (of course that is not always the case, many exceptions do exist) but I think you get my drift with this explanation.

    Hope it helps.

      i want your math $100 products at $1000 = $1,000,000

      that is a lot easier lol

      at any rate... i have done both... and even something different...

      i have given away products (not selling anything) to make $1mm

      i have sold cheaper stuff to make $1mm

      i have even sold expensive stuff...

      it all depends on the market and what they want and what the pricepoints are in the market. in some markets its easy to sell $1mm product... like san francisco real estate... in others its easier to give things away and get paid.

    I think most are real too but I have seen a few that I just got the feeling were phony. I personally wouldn't enter the make money online niche until after I've made my first million. There are plenty of other niches that you can do without using fake stuff. Anyway I get the feeling if a person hasn't been able to have success in other niches they won't be able to have success in that niche because of all the competition regardless of any fake clickbank photos.
