    We started our online biz about 3 years ago. I was nervous, it was all very new to me. I feared nobody would want our product or if they did buy, maybe they'd complain they didnt like it, it didnt work as expected, anything negative you can think of! It took maybe 6 months to feel calmer, to admit it was working better than I'd hoped!

    It's not something that has us run off our feet, so life hasnt changed too much, other than I have to be very organized, I place a lot of importance in taking care of orders quickly and accurately and shipping the day after receipt of an order. I succeed 99.9% of the time.

    We are not as busy as we'd like to be, and I think the automotive sector is slower all over compared to previous years, so we just have to wait it out. We think a lot about where to spend our advertising dollars, trying to make the right decisions.

    We are currently getting ready to launch our next online biz, which is an extension of the present one, but marketed to automotive dealerships and detail shops. The same only different :-) If this catches on as hoped I think we will be quite busy and making more money.

    it has been one of the greatest things that ever happened to me. I went from eating and sleeping in the mission, to making around $3,000 my very first month.

    It wasn't long after I hit my first $10,000 month and my first $10,000 day.

    I love how I am able to do all my work in a few hours a day and be able to stay at home with the kids. Once you learn a solid system and apply it consistently things will start to happen.

    You will have to remove the overnight 5 click fantasy from your head though because this is a real business that takes commitment and a solid effort.

    It really was the only opportunity that would work for me at first considering I had no money and an 8th grade education.

      Wow. Very inspirational. Anything is possible. You just need an audience and know how to target them. Internet marketing has given me something to look forward to everyday when I wake up. I cannot wait to check my Shareasale, Commission Junction, Amazon accounts every morning to see what kind of money I have made.

    I dabbled with Internet Marketing and websites from 2003 to 2007. Went full time in 2007 with a company called PROU who taught me Internet Marketing and Lead Generation. Then started my own Marketing Company to small to large businesses. I not only consult business owners, I also coach, teach and train individuals who want to start a career as Internet Marketing Consultant or create a company. Have been working with many start up companies lately. Fun stuff...

    I learned internet marketing about 3 years ago, when I decided to have an online business. Firstly, I really do not understand how to promote my product in the digital world.

    Thank to Facebook and twitter, if they haven't been existed. I do not know how can I do internet marketing. Right now, my knowledge about internet marketing is absoultely completed. I have learned about SEO, Viral marketing, adsense, etc.

    I started learning IM 3 years ago. I didn't make any money until this year. Back then I had jobs here and there to support myself financially but now I no longer need a job and life is great.

    I started marketing in the start of 2011 but was lucky to find good nice people. Jump into it and achieved decent income in 6 months. My father was so helpful to in the beginning as there was nothing coming and was using all his money. But now I have got my chance. I found a program in my early days, which is in my signatures the middle text link, with all the marketing tools at one place. It saves me time and money and I started building my list in my second month into internet marketing.
    This is amazing now but more amazing for me is that I can sit for meditation as long as I can because no one disturb me.
    My next goal is to be ready to die without a feeling of that I want this and that.
    God bless

    When did you first start learning internet marketing?
    2 years ago

    How long did it take to get the success you were looking for?
    The success that I am looking for is viewed as impossible to many and I have not physically reached it yet although I'm already there in my mind
    I have made a ton of money and it only took me less than a year to do so. Now the snowball effect is making it so that I'm earning even more!

    Going back to when you first started, what was your life like then?
    I had just graduated from University. I was dead broke with massive debt and no job to save my life and was borrowing from family.

    What is your like like now?
    I'm sitting in my boxers writing this before my meeting with a top exec from a large firm that I am signing up to a BIG contract. I travel, I try new things, I live life to the fullest and I can work no matter where I go. So to sum up, life is GREAT

    Anything else you want to add?
    If this line of work doesn't make you want to get up early feeling excited for another day then this might not be for you. Don't do it because everyone else is or because it seems much easier than a job. Do it because you enjoy it and let the money be a bonus. Oh an about money, don't forget to make some! A lot of internet "businesspeople" forget that part of the equation! Go get 'em and make you fellow Warriors proud!

    Cheers to your success!

    Here are some answers to your questions...

    When did you first start learning internet marketing?

    I started internet marketing in spring/summer 2008...so about 4 years ago. I was in college at the time, and knew that I would have loans to pay back and the economy in 2008 wasn't looking good so I needed to create my own income.

    How long did it take to get the success you were looking for?

    I'm doing well now, but I never settle. I think anyone who is passionate about their business will say they are still working on their business. If you're asking how long it took me to start making some decent money, I would say 8 months or so.

    Going back to when you first started, what was your life like then?


    I lived in an apartment with a friend of mine & was a full-time college student. Didn't have a lot of money, so I had to focus on free traffic methods because I couldn't afford any paid advertising.

    What is your like like now?

    Fast forward 4 years and I'm married...was able to move back to a small town about an hour south of Atlanta, Ga. where my wife & I were born and raised. Couldn't be happier. I went to school in the big city & loved getting back to the countryside.
