Well... I'm going to do everything in my power to prove that it can be done!

Over the course of the next year... I plan on recording daily video updates that will be posted to Youtube for everyone to view...

I have also created a Ustream channel and I will be steaming live everyday if anyone wants to stop by to chat with me...

One of my reasons for doing this is to create a documented video chronicle of what I'm doing from start to finish - I'm hoping that many people will be able to learn from my mistakes and successes and possibly be inspired by what I'm doing

I put together a short six minute video for you to watch that outlines some of the stuff that I plan on doing to pull this off...

I would love for as many of you as possible to follow me in '09 to show some support for my little challenge... I think that it will be fun

I also think that I will get to know many of you on a better level

Take care

Here's the video

p.s. if you want updates when I post new video's - I placed a link for that under the video

I'm also going to reveal my merchant account balances when they are at zero...

Just so you can see that I am literally starting from scratch

Take care

Marc, hi

Even if you don't reach your target, reaching half of it would be a considerable success. Also, you are being very brave by doing it so publicly.

So, good luck!

  That would be cool but, I must reach the target...
  
  I really want to prove that we all have what it takes to reach our goals.
  
  It's all about setting goals and having the courage to go after them...
  
  ... not letting our uncertainties road block us
  
  Thanks

Of course it's possible.

It's also possible to do $500,000/month.

It's very possible, apply yourself and have a goal. I really like having big goals and it's really nice when you reach them!

Focus on one thing and do it well. Ask your customers to refer you other customers, if you have really provided value this can work wonders and really explode your earnings.

Good Luck, You can do it!

Marc,
I wish you all the best and I think it is possible to make even more than that in a year. As long as you do it right.

$50 product x 10,000 sales = $500,000
or
$500 product x 1,000 sales = $500,000
or
$5,000 x 100 sales = $500,000

... or 50$ front-end e-book which you turn into a $500 Video course which you turn into a $5,000 coaching.

A good membership website could also do the trick...

I think you already have an idea of what you want to do, and I'll be watching your progress

Alex

  Thanks guys... I really appreciate the support
  
  One thing that I may not have mentioned is that I'm not
  allowing myself to use any of my existing funds to get started...
  
  So... everything that I'm doing will be completely from
  ground zero...
  
  That means that I won't be using PPC or any other paid advertising
  starting out
  
  In other words - I'm going to be very busy in 2009
  
  Thanks

Marc,

Even if you don't reach your goal... what you learn on the way could be worth more then $500,000 in experience. Save this video log as a series and then you could always package it after next year along with coaching and at least have a well documented product that you could sell that may get you to these goals the following year.

Heck... If I could make $100k per year would be nice. My goal is to make 1 site per month (since I have to do this part-time) and stuff it with content.

Get it ranked and making money on a consistent basis. Then go onto the next one. By the end of the year hopefully I will have 12 successful sites making me at $100 per day = $1200 per day = $438,000. Can I do it? Only time and persistence will tell. But even if I make only $25 per day per site that is still $300 per day = $109,500 per year.

Not bad for a part-time job! For those who wish they can... just do it. Either you will succeed or you will learn. Neither one is a failure!
