How I made $10,000 in one month!

These titles are really silly to me. Instantly I think:

"Wow, you made exactly $10,000.00, that's quite a statistical anomaly!"

Are you sure you didn't make $9,426.18 or $10,346.55?

Or more likely, you don't make half of what you say and this is just another one of the millions of ploys out there (that must be working since I don't see any decrease in them!).

    At this point, with the saturation the way it is right now with this stuff, I scan over anything with even numbers.

    I do occasionally read ones that say $3456.55 just because it does seem more believable and the chances that they actually have stats to show their earnings are more likely.

    That's just me though.

    Doesn't bother me. Get me close to $10,000. I don't need to know the exact number. It goes up and down anyway. When my wife wanted to know what our tax refund is going to be I just said $9,000... it's actually some odd number around there.

    I'm sure it helps sales to put what appears to be a more exact number there.

    What really bothers me however is the word "Make" some use it to mean Gross sales and few use it to mean net net. To me if I spend $9,000 a month to get $10,000 in sales it means I 'made' $1,000. Some would tout that as making $10,000 a month.

      Yes, I understand what you are saying.

      But some of these are not believable, I mean I like to look at ones that seem more reasonable, but I believe that each one might show something more useful that I was unaware of before, I mean it is just a couple moments out of my day to read and maybe gain a bit of insight into something else.

      Sure, that's definitely a factor as well. I was huge into PPC for years and in my marketing portfolio I also did the same thing

      I would say I brought in $1.2M a year in revenue, but the truth of the matter is I probably spent $250k on traffic alone, and then the product cost was around $500k, so the profit was obviously much less.

    figures are figures at the end of the day but without the proof the numbers personally mean nothing to me!

    Who cares. Stop worrying about what other people are doing and then you might start making over $10k/month.

    lol and I thought this would be another thread of someone boasting how they made 10k in a month.
