    thanks Devid, even though its just 1.19, it is encouraging, and even better, all i did was create the squidoo page and nothing else. Now I think what if I actually marketed the site and did what u are supposed to do. so, how and what do I do next? whats best way to promote a squidoo lens?? its a real estate investing/work from home niche.

    now im excited to double my money! haha

      You are right, I will! One day I'll have a headline that says "from my first $1.19 to 1.1 million- How I retired online" but really its the real estate that is our main business right now, but hoping to get the extra income generation for long term income, babys and kids nowadays arent cheap!!!

        Gotta love that headline!

        Good for you man. Few are those who can really make it work in IM, but when they do they really do. Hope this signals a great beginning for your new product.

        @bikaigroup
        It's not always what you bought to make things work. Most of the time, what makes one successful online is the amount of work that came directly from you. Some don't even invest in anything yet they reap the fruits of the web. It's all about passion and patience. Don't worry you'll make your first dollar someday too. Just stay focused.

        Best,

    oh yea, I'm VERY determined and motivated. You won't meet a more motivated, positive, dedicated person than me. When I commit to something, I don't stop until I reach that goal, and more.

    My main focus is our product launch, squidoo was just one of those latenight 2am things I stumbled across and created.

    Ive met some great warriors here who are working with me to launch our product. ie, creating the copy,squeeze,emails,etc.

    I HAVE to make it work, especially after a day like today where were were to be closing on a deal, and the property was looted and the buyer walked and didn't close. lol! Its happened before, usually an inside job, but, we keep moving forward and I WILL figure out this internet marketing thing, launch our product we worked so hard to create and you'll be hearing alot from me over the next 6months and beyond!

    Let me know how you did that, because, one of my frustration online is that I have bought the materials and have not yet made a dime. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

      bikai- im not really sure exactly how I did it, well I know how, but I didn't do anything to market/promote my lens, so it was probably complete random person that literally stumbled upon my lens.

      just go to squidoo.com and create a profile and a lens in a niche you know and care about. in our case it was real estate investing and work from home, which is our primary business.

      Then you can promote/market your squidoo lens (page) in a million and one different ways that im sure warriors will be more than happy to show you.

      But basically you link up with amazon.com, they give you list of books that relate to your topic, when someone buys the book or a product on your page, you get a royalty fee, or commision. now imagine if you had tens of thousands of visitors and traffic to your site??!!

      I can see the power of it now and that its all about traffic, traffic , traffic.

      hope that helps, but like I said im not really sure how I did it, but it worked and is encouraging thinking multiplying that 1 commision by a few hundred, every month!

      correct, its not the amount, its the fact that it actually is POSSIBLE and I just need to duplicate and work harder and more diligent. I bought the "emergency money' thing on here for 10 bucks, actually pretty good as it details EXACTLY what to do, in order. Just have to take the time to do it. Looks like its time for a trip to potbellys for lunch and some working!

    Just keep going!

    Congrats on the money - it's not the amount, it's the EVENT.

    Now, push, push, push... Ride on your high and really kick it into gear.

    You mentioned you don't know where the sale came from exactly and that's relatively normal, but try to implement ways that you can track those things as you scale up - it will help you maximize your profits as you grow!

    Congrats again.

    Congratulations are in order here. I know this squidoo thing isn't your primary focus, so you should give yourself a pat on the back for making some money with it! I'm sure you'll do well with your real estate product launch, since the market is starting to get red hot for short sales, especially with the coming big wave of foreclosures just on the horizon!
