I'd be interested to see the replies on this one.

Just by power of deduction thought, the people who are making big launches are making that kind of money.

You will get a lot of people on this forum bashing on you because they think it's a rude question you're asking in a marketing forum where we are supposed to be talking about marketing and money.

I know where you are coming from because all of these outrageous income claims you see all day is enough to make any newbie doubt. I was there and I always found new insipration when I would read a post from a marketer I know and trust about how much money he is making per month.

It wasnt the amount I was really interested in but I just wanted to know if people are really making a solid honest income online.

I now make a solid income online which amounts to just over 10K per month so yes it is more than possible to make a great living and even get filthy rich online. Don't give up and focus on one thing until you've mastered it then move to the next.

That's the best advice I can give ya.

I think Clickbank should stop this nonsense of the one click and make $10,000 today BS. I for one have bought so many of these jokes, it makes me sick. Hard lesson to learn but there is no quick fix, just do what Google wants and you will get some traffic. In some cases even if they are full of lies you can find a tip that may be worth the costs, if not I just ask Clickbank for the refund. I have narrowed my purchases down to a few Guru's who are honest and you get what they advertise, but most are just qet rich quick guys who hype the sales page and hope you are not smart enough to ask clickbank for the refund. Fact Google controls the traffic and without traffic you make no sales. Your list can be a work around traffic, but here too it depends on the quality of the list, if they only joined for a freebie most likely they will not buy a paid product. So what does work, begin with hard work adding content, links etc., then outsource, and retire that is the formula. Oh, I forgot become a clickbank vendor scream how you have the magic button and then give them a program you saw today, but with a new name. You know the videos on Articles writing, You Tube Marketing, Social Media, Facebook, Twitter, Adwords and puff you are rich overnight. We all have heard 97% fail and 3% win, what they don't tell you is they win by selling to the 97%. No SEO, Content, or software that works required, just a fool and his money that wants to get rich quick too.

I make that in a month without selling a single IM product. There are also people making money online outside of the "make money online" mob. One of my biggest earners is an e-commerce site selling envelopes.

I have a number of different methods for earning a living and I personally know a number of people that earn more than $10k a month. It's very possible but it does take hard work and there is no get rich overnight BS.

It took me 2 years to earn anything worth talking about and I've been doing this for over 7 years now. I run this as a business, I work very hard, the idea is that one day I'll be able to relax but frankly I enjoy my work and having control over my life.

Part of the problem is people want to believe this is really easy and you can get rich quick. For some this is true but for most I very much doubt it. I can see how you can become very demoralised by buying these products but you bought them, so you wanted to believe it was possible.

Duefloppy, it is possible but you need to find out what works. Try not to get sucked in by outrageous sales letters, they are written like that for a reason - to suck people in that want to believe it's true. I know, I used to buy that crap.

One of the best things anyone new to this or not making money online yet can do is forget the idea of getting up and finding lots of cash in your bank each day from doing nothing all day and get used to the fact that this is a business, it's your business and it's up to you to create it, feed it and make it grow.

very sage words richard, and inspiring too as you say its hard work but you enjoy it. thats why i'm in this game, for the control of my own income - my own business. its daunting, especially if you're used to being a cog rather than building your own machine. it takes discipline, motivation and perseverence, and i just hope i can keep all that in spades so i can maybe achieve your success in 7 years.

Hello, I made it to that 10k club, but it was with work and not any one button bs they try to sell you. I don't believe that exists. It took me a long while to get here, and I work at it to stay where I am in traffic. Even with the latest changes in the google algo, I still do well and am climbing my way back up from the shuffle.

Stay away from the hype, focus on a path and use the resources given in this forum. I did, and am thankful to those folks. It took a long time to weed out the programs that did not work, but making a plan and seeking the information to achieve your goals is what will win the day for you.

Just remember that these promises of 30 day money do not always work. It takes a solid foundation to remain evergreen.

Jim

There is no magic button formula to make money online but there is a process that you need to follow. What is that process???

No one can really tell you. But I will give you the formula I used and still use today and you can adapt it to your situation.

Step 1 - Relax. If you are not relaxed or are worring about making money or if all you are focusing on is getting someone to whip out their credit card or hit that paypal button you are not going to get anywhere. Just relax.

Step 2 - Have Fun - This falls in line with step 1. If you are not havng fun or you hate what you are doing then why bother doing it.

Step 3 - Find an inteest. You need to find things that interest you. Do you like to write? Do you like to create things? Do you have access to unique items? Explore yourself before you even begin.

Step 4 - Set goal. If ou don't have a goal you can't win. When you are going to start a project have goals in mind. If you want to make $500 by the end of the week then you need to follow the first three steps and then focus on #4.

Step 5 - Keep your eyes open. There are a lot of people out there doing and trying things. Keep your ears and your eyes open. You might get an idea to make money or save time.

Step 6 - Try something. Think of the path of least resistance. If you have an idea what is the quickest way to test it and see if it is profitable.

Step 7 - NEVER!!! and I mean NEVER!!! spend more than $100.00 to test an idea. If you can't make money off of $100.00 re-think your idea.

That being said.

I started with Ebay. I was working in a computer store and I had a customer come in who I ended up doing some side work for. He sold black and white photos of movie stars on ebay. His house was filled with money orders and envelopes to be mailed out. So I followed my steps and found someting I was passionate about, purchased the rights to it, started selling it on Ebay. After it sold on ebay I moved to my own web site. When it started selling on my own site I left ebay. After the first year I went throuh what records I could find and I had done $30,000+ that year.

In feb 2008 I had a client I was working for pay me $105,000.00. I am currently working with a client who owes me $21,000.00.

There is money to be made online. I find it with products and services. The trick is that there is no trick. You just need to realize that the Internet is a tool. Not everone on it want's to make money they want other stuff done that they don't want to do themselves. So do it for them and charge them just enough that it is worth it to them not to get off their butts and do it themselves.

Good Luck.

I think there are lots of processes.

Step 7 - NEVER!!! and I mean NEVER!!! spend more than $100.00 to test an idea. If you can't make money off of $100.00 re-think your idea.

I whole heartedly agree with all the previous steps bar this one. I think the actual starting costs for the correct idea are higher than £100 if you want a reasonably quick return on the investment.

Sure, you can wait and let Google do some of the hard work, but a little investment here and there can do wonders for your SERPS..;-)

As for what to do to make $10k month, I haven't done it yet, but I'm pretty sure i'm onto a winner. When it works out I'll do a post on it.

The thing i've learnt most since i've been messing about is;

SEO, SEO, SEO and more SEO.
On page, targetted.
Good, fresh text. Regularly changing ideally.
Keyword choice, on search numbers, competition, Commercial Intent.

Off Page SEO
Good Quality, Follow, Highly Rated backlinks. PR5+, market related. As many as is needed to push the site by popularity to page 1 of Google, ideally position 1 of course.
Plus as many smaller links as you can find. Doesn't matter really follow no follow. The PR5 links will do the Grunt.

Do as Google commands and Google will return to you much traffic. Then just run the percentages against a product.

My product, returns a healthy amount per 'click' as it were. The higher the amount per click, the less clicks are needed for your target.

That's how I see it.

Good Luck?

There is no question that the BIG money is in product creation - and its also no secret that MANY of those products are rehashes and just "fancy" packaging.

It's 10% making some product, and the rest, 90% is hyping the product up and making it sound like its the coming of Christ. Go on JV forums or look at your typical clickbank product.

Thats where the money is.

I have seen $15 WSOs (free ones even) which have more substance and information to them than many hyped CB products.

Can't help you there, myself, I'm afraid. I'm in neither group.

I got there slowly and steadily, not "over the course of a few months" (I think it took me about 21 months, give or take, to hit $10k per month) but on the other hand I never really had a "big break", just a steady increase in income. (This month is my best so far: I've made $14k and there's still a couple of days to go).

That will be inspiring for many, Alex. I'd have guessed that there wouldn't be anyone at all posting in this thread who had got to $10k per month without building a list. And I'd have been wrong.

this is true.

I make a good living but it comes with hard work, days on the computer and lots of testing to find out what works and what doesnt.

Like once you bake a cake for the first time you need all the ingredients and the recipe and book to guide you along. But after the 2nd and 3 time you can do it automatically. You know what you need and how to bake it!

Same with online marketing....test, test some more until you bake that perfect cake. Then you can make these cakes whenever you like, every week, every day....whenever your little heart desires.

$10k a month, $20k, 200k a month reall isn't the issue. You can make $1 million a month if you wanted to. You need to play with the numbers. What is easier selling 2 $5,000.00 product, 5 $2,000.00 proucts, or 500 products at $20.00.

Then you have to weigh your time. Are you going to spend your time creating worth spending your time on and building a busiess or are you going to try to make a quick buck. Me personally I am trying to build a business and want repeat business. Sure I can create a pos and hope you don't do a refund or I can create quality and get your business for life.

Not many people will come forward because there are plenty of people making WELL-OVER $10,000 monthly, but there is no need to brag. Especially to you.

One thing you will learn about this forum is there are many people
whom claim to make this or that, but really never show any proof.
Not like I give a flying mouse...

Your Point Being...

What are you trying to get from this type of question? Honestly...

Is it for motivation?

Is it because of curiosity?

Whatever your reason is... This question is utterly useless?

Of course my post here was not to brag, but rather to show what can be done with even a very simple system. What holds many back from achieving success is negativity and not really understanding what is truly possible. There are those in the WF who haven't posted who I know personally are making well over $10,000 a day. The most successful people I know are in the top of their profession mostly because of their authoritative writing in their field including articles, ebooks, and webinars, and even offline speaking such as in seminars. One of the many things things they all have in common is high expectations of achievement motivated by very specific long term goals.

Many years ago I used to attend sales training seminars by Tom Hopkins, author of "How to Master the Art of Selling Anything" and dozens of other sales and marketing books. He still holds live sales training seminars to this day. After one of these seminars, a young man who appeared to be not even 18 years old came up to Tom Hopkins and said to him, "I am going to be a millionaire before I turn 30." Nearly everyone who heard this "kid" laughed, notably except for Tom Hopkins.

What Tom Hopkins said right then is the complete summation of all his seminars and training. I don't remember the exact words, but it was something like there is no limit to what you can achieve when you have a dream and make it a goal to make that dream a reality. He then said directly to the kid but also addressing everyone, "I didn't laugh, because I know personally what is achievable. I was a millionaire at age 27, because I thought like a Champion, and then became one. If you repeat anything often enough it will start to become you, which can be either negative or astoundingly positive."

I'd like to hear another inspirational story about those who don't brand themselves, and, yet, they make money just the same. There seems to be an assumption that showing your face in the place is the only way to make enormous amounts of money. Know knock on you, or, your post, just like to see the alternative example

I thought like a Champion, and then became one. If you repeat anything often enough it will start to become you, which can be either negative or astoundingly positive.

A lot of the Amazon marketers who are doing well for themselves (in the tune of 10k+ per month) aren't list building.

Wanda and paula from the Amazonian profit plan had a recent video showing a 34k cheque for one month, they don't list build.

Not to say you shouldn't, because you should... But you don't need to be doing it.

10k a month is achievable but not without research, time, and effort. Those who reach that goal did so through trial and error, and doing what they like doing best. Those who never got there failed because they were looking for shortcuts or gave up due to impatience, and bad advice. Set realistic but successive goals. Start at $100 or $500 a month and gradually increase that number as you start to see better results. It's your drive and marketing research that will get you to $10k or better a month. And I too recommend you build a list of relevant people as you navigate through the useless gammit of offers to make money in short time spans. It can happen, but you have to diversify the channels that will bring it to you. Affilliate marketing, updated SEO for revenue building websites, Adwords, Revenue Sharing programs such as Youtube partners, and several others. Love what you do, be patient and good luck DueFloppy.

Having been successful offline for many years, I've never really had to struggle to make significantly more than $10,000 a month online. The basics of IM is not any different from any other form of marketing.

For example, all of the Fortune 500 companies have been building marketing lists long before the internet, and they are now using online technology to enhance their data marketing. And all of the most successful internet marketers that I am aware of (million dollar plus per year earners) have built lists. Being the simple kind of guy that I am, it just seems to stand to reason to me at least, that if you want to be successful, then you should follow what the most successful in your niche are doing.

I use a very simple system which brings in an online income nipping at six figures per month. This system is simply using articles to market high end products in dozens of very competitive and lucrative niches through syndication and list building. Nearly eight years ago I bought an excellent ebook that very closely matches the system I use to this day, "Turn Words Into Traffic" by Jim Edwards. Currently it sells for $39 at Turn Words Into Traffic (not an affiliate link). This system is even more relevant today than it ever has been in light of the changes in Google's algorithm.

There may be those here who are earning $10,000 without a list, but in my experience a list can increase income by nearly tenfold.

Thanks for the tip-off about that eBook, Paul. Bookmarked for a rainy day. Or at least - being from the UK - another rainy day on which my credit-card isn't also on the verge of being maxed out.

Michael,

Well, if you've got more time than money at the moment, you might want to just do a forum search for "article syndication" and pay close attention to the extensive and detailed posts by Alexa Smith, Bill Platt (tpw), and DrMani. The most successful and experienced article marketers here seem to have reached the same consensus as the ebook. Coincidence?

Nooo, I was just kidding. I've just bought so many books recently that I need to catch up on my reading before I go buying anything else, otherwise I fear imploding in on myself.

(Though my credit card balance is in slightly bad shape, it has to be said.

)

Don't worry though - I've been closely following the article marketing posts by Alexa, Bill, yourself (thanks for all your insight!) and a few others for many, many months now.

As many have said, the real money is outside of the IM niche. Of course, I may be biased since I've made an income online since I was about 13 years old, and have never touched the IM niche in all these years, nor do I plan to any time soon. Sure, I could come up with an ultra-informative WSO, eBook, or whatever I'm sure, which would be high quality and people would love it, but I just don't see the fun in the IM niche yet. Plus, there's something that turns me off about being a "dream seller".

I also don't believe that you need your own product to make that kind of money, you can make big bucks being an affiliate. I run some eCommerce stores selling physical products, some are my own where I work with dropshippers, others are affiliate stores. I have also made money with digital products, mainly via Clickbank, but for some reason lately I've been finding selling physical products to be more attractive.

I've also got a couple of junk websites laying around in those 'spammed' niches like get ex back and lose weight, but I don't pay any attention to them. I just want to let them sit there and age, just in case I ever decide to do something with them.

As I've gotten to know myself better over the years, I've realized that I'm a lazy person, and that's just me. I'm not going to try to 'fix' it. So, I've focused more and more on building passive income producers where I just have to set them up initially, such as affiliate stores, but then I can just let them be and produce income. Everyone is different, some prefer to be work horses, I don't.

When it comes down to it, obviously all these methods are just means to an end ($ for most of us), and whatever means you use to get the end doesn't matter, as long as it's legal and you get to that end.

I also don't like to disclose how much I really make online in a public forum. Not because I'm scared, but I prefer to be mysterious.

From the bottom of my heart:

1. GET AWAY from the MMO niche if you're failing. Stop buying anything/everything/get off everyone's lists no matter how great they are - just stop the consumerism asap (watch the hate I will probably get for this one).

2. Stop thinking there's ways for noobs or intermediates to jump from zero to xx,xxx in a very short amount of time based on curriculum or a documented case study. While it does happen the odd time, it's simply stupid to bank odds on yourself.

Also realize Clickbank is still a business, and yes they may endorse stuff or let people advertise in their zones that are in your eyes immoral - don't let it get to you, it's business.

3. Realize that to make five figs/month or more, it takes volume - a LOT of it. OR it takes very high ticket price points and an amazing offer (for affiliates). It's a real business with living breathing daily variables that fluctuate and you change lanes as needed to get ahead vs. being stuck in heavy traffic (the herd) forever.

4. FAIL FASTER but more importantly don't repeat your mistakes. Don't fall for the same scam twice, don't follow the same failed blueprint you just tried, don't listen to or buy from the same guru you just invested in.. failing is good to get your BS days out of the way, narrow in on what works and don't dilute/divert too much from it. Repeat and fine tune while you scale/repeat.

5. Remember that big business fluctuates a lot - from 40K/month to 10K/month because of a simple change in the eco system we play in (online). THE ONLY GUARANTEED THING THAT STAYS THE SAME - IS CHANGE.

Nothing will last forever, no revenue stream will be prone to drying up (unless you're the federal reserve, *******s), no product will have an infinite lifecycle (ok, illegal taxation - the ultimate FU annual rebill - but that's about it).. ... .

. 12 years in and hitting huge success twice now I can tell you that when sh!t is going good, you better not be sleeping or slipping, but maximizing and keeping your cards close.

6. Don't be scared of success. I know quite a few people that are scared of their own shadow. If you can't be proud of what you promote, or how you do it, and you start making big money, you'll live with guilt underneath the bank account.

Accept success in all of its forms, and when it happens, don't just let it control you, you control it and you take that sh!t by the horns/run with it proudly doing positive things with yourself/life/biz. It's VERY VERY easy to get tempted and talked into things you are unaware of once you start hitting it big - let's just say it's a new level of ads/pitches/approaches you would NEVER otherwise get.

From the GOV to the online networks/players/powerhouses etc. I've seen my fair share of good folks let the green monster turn them into absolute f.......

It's not the hardest thing in the world - it's simply a) unmasking your own naive consumerism/belief system that everyone on every forum wants to help you b) understanding this is a real business and you must provide value OR be ok with doing shady marketing to get yourself where you want to be and perhaps end up in litigation or jail one day (or ripping off the wrong people and.. ..)..

Big money means customers, lot's of them, happy ones with a good experience through your endorsement or product or referral or service or whatever. Figure out how to help people get what they want/need/desire and are willing to pay fair market prices for, and you got a winner.

Disregard everything you read from the guru's for a while and just look at good tier 1 branding/marketing curriculum aka 'cashvertising - outsmarting goliath' other top level real marketing reads.

.02 best of luck and realize that there's millionaires right in front of your nose however not many are going to show you everything, and even when they do chances are they are so far deep there's simply no way you'll be able to duplicate it in any reasonable amount of time.

Be creative and don't follow others too much, in fact rebel against them a bit and be better at the game of life itself vs trying to trick out the system or think we're hiding that one missing piece from you (you won't find it here no matter how well it's packaged).

EDIT: Guess I should throw in I do quite a bit more than OP's wish, it's all from a hybrid business, none of it is from MMO stuff or monetizing marketers (though I stumbled through it a lil' too so it's just a part of the learning curve/awareness) and I'm proud as a mother is of her children for the stuff I do daily/sleep really well.

Amazing piece of advice!!! Waoow! Excellent!

Thanks

I think the key to make 10k+ per month is first by making 1k. Once you have made this 1k, you feel more confident on what you are doing and from there you can scale your business or think about new projects.

So target the 1k first, that's what I'm doing now.

Also, congratulation to all the action taker who make 10k easily

you are my business models.

  I kid you not - The amount of males I know that have the persona of a 'attractive female' online is unbelievable and the money they make from it even more incredible. We can not hide from the fact 'sometimes' attractive female profile and businesses get more attention then an average male.
  
  And just to add as I do not believe this has been mentioned before but hanging around successful people is really important. I was lucky enough to earn $10k/month in a really fun job alongside my IM career, and quite often you can spot the high flyers from the not so high flyers from simple personality traits.
  Napoleon Hill talks a lot about the success mindset and much better then I can so go read 'Think and grow rich' if you haven't already.

After reading this thread I admit that I am in the same boat as Alexa Smith, Jan Roos, ncmedia, myob, and others that have posted here, it didn't happen overnight. As much as I would have wanted to stumble onto something providing me 10k a month right from the start I didn't. I started taking IM somewhat serious during the summer of 2008. It took me around 2 years to hit that mark. I can tell you that if I would have taken IM more seriously when I started then I could have made it much quicker. Instead I alternated my approach to IM.

I usually start at a new project with a fulltime mindset. In fact, I put in hours night and day. Then I get burned out and my hours dwindle down to more part time output. Eventually I get sick of it altogether and don't do anything. After a week or a few weeks I see a return on my investment and get really excited again. This is when I jump back into IM full time and repeat the process. I have done this numerous times. Sometime the cycle takes a week, or other times it might take a month.

For the last 8 months I have made IM more of a part time job. This has helped me from getting too burned out. I take vacations and do what is necessary to maintain my income. At the same time I am able to think clearly and always have tons of new ideas. The strange part is that I make much more money than I used to. I also outsource way more. In fact I outsource everything I can, without giving away my whole process.

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying to work part time and you will make more when you first start. That is impossible because you don't know anything. You must work enough to pay your dues so that you have an understanding of IM. All that I am saying is that for me working part time and outsourcing menial tasks is more beneficial to me at this point in the game.

I also will not disclose my income - however I would like to make a few notes

Making over $10k a month is very possible indeed - in fact once you start hitting that then it is difficult not to keep it going -

I myself didnt buy into get rich quick schemes or anything of the sort - I actually started of as a online products seller - I would buy products such as Tv's - camcorders and sell them - My main area was ebay and of course as soon as I realized that all my eggs were in one basket which I really had no control over I started off with my own site -

With my own site came the need for visitors - little did I know about SEO so went with adwords only to find my site wouldnt convert and the cost for advertising be way too high - This is when I was introduced to SEO - all my own searches -

Once I got my website to page 1 - I started to think what I could do with the knowledge that I had to bring websites to page 1 - Yup - made more websites - got them all to page 1 - but just didnt know how to monetize -

This is when I found this forum and others to be of great use - Now I own my own SEO company and also provide a number of IM services -

My personal advise to all - including personal friends that want to work in the IM niche is to read through forums like this - there is so much knowledge available - as long as your asking the correct questions then you will get a long way - If not then buy a good course that has reviews - no rich quick scheme will last long - but that doesn't mean they are not available -

But yes $10k a month doing IM - dont doubt it -

just my 2 cents

thanks

I'm one of the success stories. I was totally broke in December 2007. I had been a real estate investor and at my lowest point I literally got down to having only $20 in my bank account. Meanwhile, January 1st was coming and I had $1000s in bills to pay.

I was preparing for a spiritual fast to begin in January and I heard a voice in my spirit that said, "Write about the Fast." I was computer savvy, but I had never created a website. I also was broke. So I searched around the internet and found a couple clues about how to create a blog. I used the WordPress.com version (still do since I'm ranked so high on it), and also created a $4.95 eBook.

Know that I worked from 6:00 am to 11:00 pm to get my product written and uploaded. I saw that readers were searching for recipes. So I took a week and created a $8.95 eBook for cooking.

I admit, I was in the right place at the right time. My success is not typical, but from the time I made my first $4.95 sale (I did the happy dance, which I know others can relate at that first sale) and within 5 weeks, I made more than $12,000.

Most people don't believe this. But there are many on the Warrior Forum who have seen my blog and know this is true..

If you want to make money without work, you're in the wrong place. But if you want to create an income in a vibrant, fun and passionate field - this really does work.

$10,000/m is very small in the grand scheme of things... and if you have your plan together you should be able to obtain the $10,000/m mark in about 9 months give or take.

It gets super easy from there if you have leverage in place.

I've had my first $100,000+/m a few months ago. My goal for the next 3 months is making that $100,000+/m on the regular. No doubt in my mind I'll achieve that within my goal time.

I know $10,000/m sounds like a lot, and I've always used that as a bench mark when I start a new business - kinda like 'man I cant wait until this new business starts making me $10,000/m'... But once you make it there, your aim raises

  Making $10K/month on easy if you have a quality product/service. In 2005, I just started and knew next to nothing about IM/SEO and was making $5K/month despite myself. My product was just good.
  
  None of the "Game Changers" from my business ever came from your typical IM product drivel. I didn't do any mass control on anyone or butterfly market their face off. I focused on the fundamentals....traffic, conversion, email marketing, viral marketing, offline marketing, etc.
  
  If you have assets in your business (product, email list, affiliates, resellers, etc), you can make $10K per month on demand. I can send out an email today and make $10K. Do you have assets?
  
  Once you have the fundementals in place, life gets easy. It's not a question of making more money at all, it's a question of which opportunities to exploit. When your business is sound, you could put those Yard Signs on random corners in your town and have it be a profitable venture.

If I can make one point it's whenever possible try to network.

I think a lot of marketers over look networking in light of a 'it's me against the world' kind of approach.

However the key to long lasting success (at least for me) was to network with marketers and find a balance between our skill sets in combination.

I think corporations call it 'synergy'?

Either way ... specialize in one aspect of internet marketing then team up with other people who specialize in another.

My partner does SEO and I handle the conversions side of things ... that's a world class relationship right there (we split everything 50-50 so there's no hard feelings ... just a kickass relationship).

But besides the point ... don't be afraid to meet new people, exchange ideas and build out massive projects.

Because in the end it's better to get a smaller chunk of a bigger pie (IMHO).

Cheers,

Interesting thread.

Making $10,000/month is pretty straightforward once you understand the game.

My annual income has always increased year on year, but funnily enough my best month so far online was about $100,000 way back in 2007.

Back then £1 was about $2, so it was just over $100,000 I made.

My income is more steady now, and I don't have crazy swings like making $100,000 one month and $5,000 the next like I did before.

I want to make six figures a month consistently like myob (Paul) — I better buy the e-book he's recommended and get studying

Back then £1 was about $2, so it was just over $100,000 I made.

My income is more steady now, and I don't have crazy swings like making $100,000 one month and $5,000 the next like I did before.

I want to make six figures a month consistently like myob (Paul) -- I better buy the e-book he's recommended and get studying

John was probably just being nice

I posted the screenshot for a bit of fun -- I didn't want to try to top the other great posts on this thread -- I thought I'd do something different.

There's a lot of great advice on this thread for everyone to read.

Hi oneplusone,

I was very impressed with your recent post below and showing a screen shot of your earnings. Regardless, of what others may think, I believe it certainly gives you much greater credibility here. Congratulations to you on your successes. Obviously, you are quite an authority in the internet marketing business and was hopeful that you might be willing to give me some advice to help me get a good start. I was just wondering if you are able to provide some additional insight on what product you are recommending buying for someone new in the IM business. I appreciate any help or recommendations that you can offer. Thanks again.

Nick

Thanks ... there are 3 books that I'd recommend:

1) The Ultimate Sales Machine - Chet Holmes
2) Ready, Fire, Aim - Michael Masterson
3) How To Get Rich - Felix Dennis

You can buy them all off Amazon for around $10-$25 each.

They aren't specific to internet marketing, but they are well worth reading and a lot of their stuff can be applied to internet marketing.

The book by Felix Dennis is probably my favourite.

Thanks

Thanks for your recommendations on the books. If you don't mind me asking, regarding your specific online business, are you creating your own products, reselling as an affiliate or a combination of both? Do you offer any products for sale that replicate what you are currently doing or do you prefer to stay under the radar? Really looking for a good mentor and due to all the extreme hype online, it obviously can be a real challenge on knowing which product to use for someone just getting started. Thanks again for your commits and your help.

Not sure what that's supposed to mean. $10K is a lot of money. If you believe it isn't, then you'll probably be broke in 5 years.

There's no definite answer for what isn't and is "too" much. That's down to the person in question and their beliefs.

Similarly, it also depends on the style of life he/she leads, or may want to lead.

Even so, an amount may factually be a lot, but to your belief may be minuscule.

If you make $10M per year, you'll be able to convince me that $10K isn't a lot of money to you. I will agree with that.

But saying your mindset needs to change if you think $10K is a lot of money (when the guy is probably making $0) is a bunch of new-age BS. When I was making $0, I thought $10K was an enourmous amount of money, yet it didn't prevent me from making a lot of money.

Your mistaking me for the other guy, and changing my words around.

I don't make 10M a year, I don't even make 10k a month, to me, that's quite a bit of money in-terms of helping my situation.

In-terms of what I want to achieve, that's pocket change, something I can wipe my a** with when I run out of toilet paper.

My statement still holds true, and I did not say that although you may have doubts, you can't make money, because you can.... It's natural to have some level of doubt.

Unfortunately some are doubtful to the point that it stops them from succeeding.

When you look at what? I'm not really sure what you mean by that. Sure, if you look at 1 trillion dollars, it's miniscule. But do you have 1 trillion dollars?

I did actually, in less than 4 months using social media.
It is entirely possible, but you might need to stick to the higher value offers and not the cheap $7 products.
Selling a $197 takes the same effort, marketing and work than a $7 and the profit is lot higher.

Many people think money is an issue, money never is an issue, the product and the solution is the issue, if you provide something the customer wants, they will pay $197 or $1997, of you just have cheap PLR and try to off load it, they will not pay even $5 or $1.

This is my 2c here,

Last year I earned well over my target of $150,000+

Money made came from these sources (rough numbers):

Six Figure Website Sale: $Undisclosed
Amazon's Affiliate Program: About $65k (here are some tips)
Clickbank: $25k
Adsense: $5k
Misc Affiliate Income: $5k
Private Ads: $1.5k
Vibrant Media: $1k
eBay Partner Network: About $1k

So even without selling one of my larger websites in a deal worth six figures I was still into the six figure range with the other income sources.

My best suggestion:

Learn from people that make most of their money actually doing what they're talking about and not from people that only make money by telling people how to make money online

I have had many many many very lucrative months....

The fact of the matter is, there are a lot of people making a lot of money online.

I use a VERY simple system, that I've fine tuned and have gotten really good at. It's a system that we're all familiar with. Build SEO friendly sites around solid KW's , backlink the sites like crazy, (web 2.0/articles, etc..) climb up in the SERPS and you're golden.. do this over and over and over and over again and you'll be set. Literally, that's my system, and it has made me 6 figs in 2010 and nearly 6 figs in 2009..

At the end of the day, you need to find a system that works for you and run with it.

I always tell people to PLAN, IMPLEMENT and MEASURE!

I think that the key to success is "action"!

I know from personal experience that I have spent way to much time trying to get everything right before actually doing anything.

This sort of paralysis by analysis stands clearly in the way of success.

I don't really buy the WSO's here to find the holy grail of marketing. I do it to simplify my approach, put aside my knowledge and experience gained over working for 20 years as an executive in the consumer products industry and to learn to not take myself too seriously.

Sure people creating products are making money. First they had to "ACT" to create the product and then "ACT" again to promote the product.

That takes guts and getting out of one's own comfort zone.

Thanks for starting it.

At the end of the day it is simply a numbers game......
Find what works, refine it so it works even better and then rinse and repeart and keep things going.

Enjoying what you do will keep you in track......and don't get distracted.
All easy things to say and write.....but to do them is where i sometimes feel the real skill lies.

Good luck on your quest for the $10k.

Out of interest why is $10k that you quoted? Why do you want / need that much.....because if yuo don't need . want that much or have a reason to why you want to earn that much then you probably won't as your motivation isn't there to get it.

Just my opinion......but hope it helps.

Internet maketing is not just about selling those nonsense articles you see about make $$$$$ in days. It's about finding out what you are good at and marketing your products/services in a way that brings you money.

Internet marketing is much harder than I though it would be. I haven't reached the 10k mark, but it took focus, learning keyword research, SEO, and getting my sites to the top of the SERP's for me to start seeing results.
