My first $100 dollar day ($729 for the month!)

16 replies
I wanted to share this with everyone since this forum is a primary reason I've made this far, up until now. I started focusing on the internet as a source of income 3 months ago. I was looking back at some of the goals I set for myself when I first started, and one goal was to generate $500 in the month of October. Including my 100 dollar day, which happened two days ago, I am currently at $729 for the month of September.

Of course I have updated my goals, and in October my plan is to make $2,000!

Back to my $100 day:

I did this from two sources. I am selling a book on amazon and had a record sales day, 5 books lol. I am selling it for 24.99 and my cut from the publishing company is $10.75 for each book sold. The rest of the money came from fiverr gigs.

I just completed my first info product, and my goal is to sell 10 of those in October. I am in the process of creating a marketing plan to accomplish this and will post it this weekend at some point. That will generate around $750 in profit.

I anticipate making $500 from fiverr (a very conservative number) and selling 20 more books on amazon amounting to around $250.

I'm not sure where the other $500 is going to come from just yet, but that's the fun part, isn't it!?

To the veteran warriors...thank you, your advice is being listened to and your input is not taken lightly.

To the newbies (I'm still one too!)...if I could give any advice to anyone just getting started in an effort to pay forward all the help I have received up to this point, I would share with you my two core beliefs that I see the world through:

1) Anything that anyone else has ever learned to do, can do as well.
2) Success to me is doing something productive and positive everyday, no matter how large or small, to move closer towards achieving my goals.


Hard to feel like a failure with that second belief!


I have a few more thoughts but I'll leave it with that, my baby
is starting to get a bit fussy!


tim

p.s. my long-term goal is to generate $10,00 in May of 2012. I got a lot of work to do!

    Congrats, you should also try some affiliate marketing.

    It can turn your goal of 2,000 in October to 2,000 in just 1 week when done correctly.

    I recommend checking out www.rapbank.com

    I do have an affiliate link, but I'm not gonna waste my time to go find it. I have enough "down-lines" as it is, lol

    Their products pay instant commission for every other sale, some products pay 100% of sale price too. And your pay goes instantly to your PayPal, as if they bought it directly from you. No waiting for payments each week/month.

    Oh and they are instant approval too. You can sign up and start promoting in minutes

    Hope this gives you some ideas, and keep up the good work!

      Hi- yeah I'm definitely looking into affiliate marketing as another revenue stream. One thing I've learned for sure is not to spread yourself too thin. There are so many different ways to make money on the internet, I have to fight the urge sometimes to stop myself from trying to learn and do all of them at once. But I see the value in affiliate marketing and that's actually the next "discipline" I'm going to start focusing on in the coming weeks.

      Thanks for the support!

    Wow...

    and you know what tierney...

    I *believe* you.

    Not only do I believe you..I
    believe IN you.

    You are doing very well and
    I sincerely hope you keep up
    the work you're doing.

    It's a different game than a
    9 to 5 isn't it?

    When you get to the point
    where you quit your job...

    you'll forget rush traffic exists.

    ...you'll forget office politicks.

    ...and yet you'll always keep it
    in the back of your mind to work
    harder.

    Funny how it works.

      It's actually in print form on amazon. The ebook form is on my web site only, where I sell it as part of a 14 part video module course.

      The book on amazon is called, "The Personal Training Sales Education Textbook"

      It's for personal trainers who work in the health club industry

    I'd also add to all newbies (again myself included) to

    1) get active on the forum. My dad once told me if you want to learn how to do something, go find someone who does it better than you! There are plenty of very successful warriors on this forum that have been where we are and are willing to act as guides, if we ask the right questions

    2) Become an expert on how to use the search function. There are a lot of questions that are posted that have already been answered by some very experienced warriors. And some questions get asked sooo much, they don't get the same attention because the vets have already answered it in a previous post.

    Congratulations!

    What sort of book are you selling on Amazon? Can you link it here?
