How I Made $17,000 In 40 Days!... Step By Step Guide

32 replies
Hi warriors,

I want to share a success story with everyone before i go to bed and i hope it inspire someone else.
You know i have been around this internet game for about 2 years now, making some small bucks. But recently i got idea that struck a gold mine for me.

Here was what i did,
Instead of fighting with the guru's in the internet marketing niche trying to sell how to make money products i decided that i was going to teach what i have learnt so far.

I put together a report on online surveys and priced it at $67.[remember i converted this figure to dollars rather than putting my local currency].

With a little advert and then sending out a blast to my emails on the 1st of october which also happens to be the independence day of my country i had since then done hundreds of sales. Without exaggeration i had done more than 340 sales with just one refund!!!

MORE TESTIMONY:

Because of this success my list skyroceketed from 1,000 readers to about 5,123[i checked my getresponse account just 3 minutes ago] in just 50 days.

[1]Last week i did another launch selling to the list and without paying anything for advert i have had more than 120 sales in just 4 days of launch. On the first day i had about 51 sales. The price of this new product is $47 which means i had done more than $5,640 in 4 days selling to my locality.

Be aware that i would have done more than 200 sales within those 4 days but my hosting is experiencing a big problem and i am about to change it so because of that, the domain name www.suckingcashincome.com was shut down.


[2]I have an a Publisher of a newspaper where i placed my advert called my for an interview and just yesterday another editor is asking me to come over to feature in their guest column. This paper has more than 40,000 readers!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STORY TO LEARN:

[1] There is money every where but we are not seeing them. I have been online for more than 2 years and i have not had such success but by deciding to re-focus i made as much as $5,640 in just 4 days without any refund or paying a dime for advert.


[2]Treat your lise well. Because of my first product which sold at $67 and having more than 340 order for it. I delivered far more than they expected so when i released a new product in less than 30 days there were so many orders that was placed. If my first product was a trash not only would i have lots of refunds but also no one would even think of buying my newest product

[3]Salting your list. I know this secret very well. I am very good at it. I used it for my list and that was what got 51 people to pay me $47 even without them seeing the sales letter in the first day and more than 120 so far.

That is all. I hope this story inspires someone.

    Great story!

    I also use publishers for my launches. My best week was 347 sales in a week on a $17 report. I only paid the publisher $200 to run a solo ad.

    I kept reading and didn't really see a "step-by-step" process. I'm understanding you had a list, you submitted your online survey to them for $67US and made a bunch of money. Then sent another product out to your list and made some more $.

    I guess the moral of your story then is you gotta have a list. But as far as detailed step-by-step as your title says, I thought that was a little misleading though.

    Congratulations on your payoff.

      that it leaves a lot to be desired.

        I agree!

        I read your post in the hope of a step by step plan as mentioned in the title.

        Congrats on your success anyway.

    If I read that correctly, he sent emails to a list of 1,000 promoting a report on online surveys for $67. He then made 340 sales (amazing conversion) from that list and got media attention to be featured in the newspaper where he placed an ad. Wait, was the ad actually placed in the newspaper or was this all done without spending a dime as stated? This is quite a spectacular story.

    Unless there is proof otherwise, all we can really do is take this on face value and congratulate the guy. Innocent until proved guilty and all that.

    Hi warriors,

    I have not been able to reply this thread cos i had been in church all day long.
    Meanwhile in response to some of the post here are my response.

    I just wanted to share this secret and there is No plan for W.S.O....Just sharing a little success secret.

    The whole idea of this post is that for some of the newbies if they will only look around them they might make more money than they would if they had follow the normal procedure. I got 340 sales from a product just by selling some of the things i already know to them. I doubt if i would be able to make that much if i was thinking of following the conventional way of marketing on the internet. I didn't need a click bank or paypal for this. Money where paid directly into my account.

    Whether you doubt it or not, it doesn't make it untrue and just incase you want to know the website itself you can find it at: New Page 1.

    Hope this solve some arguements

      A link to "icashnigeria"? ya right! Look at the source code. I haven't seen such a lame page since I first learned html back in 1986! Your even using MSOffice webpage generation so there is no creative freedom!

      Plus you got your tables mixed up and your style sheet is embedded in the page... what a mess. You'd NEVER get that page ranked anywhere.

      What's the point?

    Hi ,
    Because the online payment system within Nigeria is still in its infancy, the kind of payment method Kenneth uses can work.
    One of my online t shirt stores caters to Nigerians, but because I don't know how to process payments from customers within Nigeria, I only sell to Nigerians that live in the western world.
    I have however, learnt a lot from Kenneth's actual sales letter on how to receive payment from customers living in Nigeria. Thanks for the post Kenneth & congrats on your success.
    There are very lucrative markets on everyone's local area, I agree. Its so easy to focus only on online markets.
    I think what Steve meant was that the original post wasn't specific enough as hinted by the title of the post.
    Kenneth did say "step by step" in the title.

    Just my 0.02

  • I'm calling BS.

    The numbers don't make sense given the details for even a very, very well converting offer, on an expensive and well groomed mailing list of that size.

    None of the numbers add up for anything I've experienced or heard of, and I rub elbows with some pretty experienced mail droppers.

    Not to mention the abstract payment method, the country utilizing it, and the sales letter itself.

    If it really happened, this post won't bother you, but I'd love to see some proof, or at the very least some actual details!

    I am new. I am divorced after 15 years, I am totally broke, my car payment is 3 days overdue, I am starting from absolute zero again at this very moment with just a head full of ideas..and I could tell you stories about making money and marketing that you would not believe; from my own personal life experience.

    Said all that to say: I can believe anything!!

    If you can believe it...

    I love the warrior forum, but I hate to see people squash someone else when they are trying to tell their story....what if it isnt true at all? Does that hurt you somehow?

    What if it IS? How have you hurt him and his ability to grow in a place like this?

    How have you hurt the young minds who want to believe it might happen for them too? How have you hurt the IM market when people become so skeptical that hope can no longer be inspired?

    In the noble process of busting all the marketing myths that exist, i have noticed that guru's tend to create new ones...ones that can have the potential to trap people into new kinds of boxes. Just a different mouse trap of the mind.

    I say,...shatter old conversion ratio myths like the 3 minute mile, try to share it, and if no one believes you then you may be better off anyway! lol.

    Competition doesnt stop people from succeeding, and niether will it stop YOU if a guy like this gets to tell his story!

    The warrior forum can be a place of hope for young marketing minds or it can become as (og mandino says) "...a group of old men who nod wisely and speak stupidly..." (Greatest Salesman in the world) and who squash the hope of every person who comes around with a different idea.

    If it is the former then I m glad I posted here today.

    Please feel free to "smell all the wso's cooking". I personally dont care. I am here because I have a love for the people who come here to share inspiration.

    Many people including myself, arent all about writing wso's... there ARE actually other ways to make money besides in a forum.

    Can a place like this give a break to a guy like the guy who started this thread? Who is just excited about sharing his improbable and unbelievable story which may have actually came true despite all of the "known" formulas and ratio's...?

    I have quite a few of those stories myself, and I bet you do too...Congrats on your unbelievable shot in the dark that turned into an unbelievable success. For what its worth i believe you or I believe with you either way!

    First Post. Sorry if it was too passionate.

    Thats great kenneth! If your hosting has not given you problems, you would have made more sale.

    But I don't really understand your story and how you placed your ads.

    Does a page have to rank to make money? Last I checked there were a million ways to get people to a webpage, and the people who visit dont care about the program it's designed with! In fact they can be presold before they even get there! A great sales message is all thats needed!

    For instance: what if someone paid $300 for classified ad on an opportunity site which directed the prospect to their website, which, through mere information, qualified the prospect to be ready to fork out $300 bucks when they call their order in, THEN had them call in with their credit card ready to be closed for $300?

    What if a couple telemarketers did that 10 times a day apeice, closing at 40% ratio because the prospects were so heavily pre-sold by the "information" on the website?

    Mine did (telemarketers). It didnt have a thing in the world to do with search engine rankings either, pr selling books, or mailing lists...

    You dont have to have a guru approved website to succeed. Give us a break. Success is about a great sales strategy wether it's search rankings, list building, hybrid IM/Telemarketing, offline ads that lead to web pages...whatever...there are many avenues.

    To me ; making money with a shabby website is even more inspiring.
