Who would be considered the "top 1%" in terms of Internet earnings?

6 replies
We have people clicking ads on PTC websites for $0.25/hour. We have people doing surveys for $2/hour. We have people spamming social media, trying to get referrals for GPT sites.

And we have sellers on Fiverr making $50/month. We have newbie Internet marketers making perhaps the same amount.

Then, we have the professionals who make $500-$2000 a month through e-commerce. Please note that those people, though they may be successful, are NOT rich.

THEN we have the Internet moguls making millions.



So who would be in the top 1%?

    People making $10,000 or more a month would be in the top 1%. The internet millionaires are in the .01%.

    Yeah, like the guy above said, top 1% is 10,000+

    Top 20% is 2000+

    AVERAGE is probably your typical $50 a month Fiverr seller.

    Maybe Eric Schmidt, Sergey Brin and Larry Page from Google. Together they have earned around 5 billion. :-)

    By the way, rich is not someone who earns a lot, but someone with considerable net worth.

      Lol no no no no.... together 5 billion... Sergery Brin and Larry Page are both worth ~17 billion. Eric Schmidt is around 7.5 billion.

      Together they are worth ~40 billion 8x what you said.

        Agreed: 10k/month is the minimum number you should shoot for to "be successful" in this industy.

        Hope That Helps.
