Thanks Warrior - Six figures in 1.5 years

41 replies
Just wanted to give a major nod to the Warrior forum. I got my first ideas here and support to go for it and get my first sale. Ideas here led me to this process (roughly in order)--

Set up and post daily blog
Find a mentor
Email opt in
Post to forums
Write content rich articles
Sign up to sell as affiliate
Conduct weekly interviews
You tube videos
Online coaching of others
post daily to Facebook and twitter
Create an e book
Create audios
write reviews and sell as an affiliate
Build more traffic
Create membership area
Find another mentor and mastermind group.

I could have worked harder/smarter and did 6 figures in 12 months - but working hard now to double my biz in next 11 months.

I have quit my day job and write this post sitting in bed on Monday morning with a cup of coffee.

Thanks warrior forum.

      Same here. My Birthday is Dec 29th and plan to be on my own by that time. Congrats OP! Six figures is insane.

      The good thing about this business is that "People don't succeed cause they aim too high and miss, no, they aim too low... and hit. Most people don't aim at all." (Les Brown)

      Not us... Not marketers. We live far above mediocrity. Always keep this in mind at all times..

    Your site looks great, sounds like a nice little niche and you definitely have the working knowledge. I tried something similar (strength background) but didn't quite have the success that you have, hats off to you

    Hi Brian,

    Wow! That's just simply amazing. True enough, when you add passion on what you do, you'll get it. Do you have your own mastermind group now?

      I am part of a mastermind group with others that have bigger biz than mine.

      I made a lot of mistakesand trying to make less now

      I am more than happy to answer any messages or questions from others on this forum - as they have all helped me.

      I worked pretty hard on affiliate sales and did not give up. After a few months it started showing results.

      I think each person should work the basics and find out what works best then add knowledge and hard work in those areas.

      Now the "Amazon Tax" is hitting in GA where I live so I am looking for alternatives.

        The first thought that came to mind, and you might of already done this in your membership...but design different level of manuals...for weight loss to those who are fit and wanting to break through...but make it video course...

        it is amazing how well p90-insanity-p90x has done...you can either make it online or even do hard copy DVD series where people get a physical product...

        You can use Kunaki -- CD/DVD manufacturing and publishing service and get great prices and they handle all the delivery and no limit on amounts being purchased.

        Or make it both...online membership along with a bonus workout mailed to them each and every month. Keeps the value of membership all time high...price it out to cover the cost of the DVD but people would pay $39-$59 a month easy...promote it as a personal trainer...trainers around here get $75 an hour...

        Shoot I would pay you to help me hit some goals that I have...

        Keep your synergy and keep what you are doing but start creating short manuels...30 days to 100 push ups...30 days to 100 situps...30 days of the best fat shredding eating plan...Warriors food guide...sell each one for $7-$12

        One last idea...look at crossfit...and create the ultimate home gym guide...that is a niche within your niche...and those people will only buy from those that are doing it...and you are doing it...if it was done right you could sell that for $39 all day long...(i actually looked for one awhile back and never found one...but with the rise of crossfit...mudruns...and other organizations...this is becoming a huge market...)

        First off, congratulations to you. I never tire of reading success stories like these. I think it's important for newbs to focus on your "worked pretty hard" and "did not give up". And I suspect you also paid attention to what was working and wasn't working and made the necessary adjustments.

        I bolded your emphasis on the "basics". Golden advice that has stood the test of time.

    I live in North Carolina/Illiniois and both states are an Amazon no-no. If you have the money you can set up an LLC in Delaware. It costs about $300 and can be done online in about 20-30 minutes.

    This just shows you that if Brad can do it, you can too. You just have to take action and see what works best for you. It is very possible to earn a great income online but you have to work like crazy to find what works for you and never give up.

    Brad, you mention finding a mentor (twice, in fact). How did you find a mentor and in what ways has that helped you reach your level of success?

    Congratulations!

      I studied the industry and found others where I wanted to be in business. It sounds goofy - but when a student is ready a teacher will appear.

      My mentors have guided me and told me the next level steps to take. I am then accountable and work hard as I don't want to lose their trust. They are helping me now to double my biz in 11 more months.
