300th Post - Ive Learnt So Much! Must Read!
Im Arran! Im from the United Kingdom.
This is my 300th post on the warrior forum! I'm going to share with you what I have done and learnt since November 2010 when I started thinking about making money on the internet.
I see users on the warrior forum telling people some really valuable information when they hit 1000, 2000, 3000 posts... ect. I would like to share information now, I don't see why I should wait.
So It started back in November 2010 when I thought I would build a website because It looked fun, I started looking into how I could make money with my first website. I didn't know how it all worked.. but I just kept on working. It took 5 months before I even started making any money online. But after 5 months I made $5000 as an affiliate on clickbank. The point im trying to get across, I see so many newbies now saying they have made websites and there not making money after say 3 months. You should never give up, one day you will strike it rich! Its just a matter of time.
After I made $5000 as an affiliate on clickbank, the website that I used to make it on sort of died down due to its niche not being as popular. So I thought to myself what should I do with this $5000? I spent some of it for myself, I banked some and I invested some. I bought a brand new website which I thought had some potential. Within 2 months of owning this website I was spending lots of my spare time working on it. Then, after 3 months the site got popular, it was getting 150,000 unique visitors a day! I then quickly sold the website for $2000. I bought the site for $300 so I made a $1700 profit there.
After I sold the website on flippa I noticed that people were selling brand new websites on flippa. So I started website flipping, I sold brand new websites that had potential to make money for $50-$300 each time. I profited around $4000 from that. All of this stopped in January this year.
Now what am I doing? Well, I'm STUCK! (Sort of) At the moment not much money is coming in. Instead of thinking about ways I can now make money I've just cracked on with it. Currently I have built a social network which will be launched in September 2012, I've worked on a few old sites that are now starting to make money, and I've started to flip websites again starting today. My focus is at an all-time high and I can tell you how it is.
MUSIC!
YOU'RE IDEAS! YOU'RE METHODS!
IT'S EASY!
So... If you are lacking in focus for whatever reason... I suggest you listen to music whenever you work. I now have a 50 song playlist on YouTube of songs that help me work. I've developed this recently and my focus is SO much better since January when I stopped making money.
My first website was just built of my own idea; I didn't use any of these AdSense niche plans... I just built the site how I wanted and learnt how to advertise the site and I made the site how I wanted and got visitors how I wanted. I think some products TELLING YOU WHAT TO DO are just really bad, if you have a website idea... GO FOR IT, it will probably make money if you work at it long enough.
So... If you combine music with your ideas you will make money! You will succeed!
Interesting things:
I made $5000 from that first site with NO investment; I didn't even buy a domain!
I didn't even use the warrior forum until January this year. Its good yes, but you don't need it to make money online. To learn i used youtube and google.
