3 yrs of Info Overload

10 replies
Hey warriors,

So the past few months I've been busting my a$$ off to launch a WSO/Clickbank product. When I first started IM, I was consumed by the fact I could make all this money with almost no effort...boy was I ever wrong and cost me about $15k in debt.

Here I am 3 year's later, and the bs products I bought and tried when I first started haunt my dreams every night. I browse WF all day long and see so many people asking for help and all they get is "hey go buy this POS product" which you click on the link and watch some 25 min video that explains how if you pay $97 you'll be making money in 15 min with 5 clicks of your mouse.

GOD I HATE THESE VIDEOS!!!

So what did I learn over these 3 years?
A- Don't procrastinate
B- Find an "idea" of how your going to make money online and STICK with it!
C- Build a list
D- Don't be afraid to hire help
E- Even CEO's have a job, so do you dont sit around and do nothing!

That being said if you don't know where to start or how to find your niche/idea then your just screwed? Wrong

I tried everything idea under the sun to make money online...craigslist, ebay, SEO, article marketing, I did it all. However, it wasn't until I created a realistic business plan and stuck with it that I started seeing the amazing perks of working online.

I dont mean to rant or to ramble, but for warriors on here the message is: You can make money online, there are so many ways and options that it may seem impossible.

Here's how I make my living:

Step 1: - Using Market Samurai to find 6-8 relevant keywords with a minimum of 250 EXACT daily searches

Step 2: - Go to Freelancer or WF and hire someone to write 6-8 articles. (I start with 6 articles on my blog, then update with new post every 2 weeks)

Step 3: - Build my site using WP and my custom theme

Step 4: - Hire an SEO expert to help do link building and start SE traffic

Step 5: - Hold for 2 months & Sell (Why these sell like crazy - already established and getting traffic/sales)

Notice I do not do anything except, keyword research and building the site. Everything else I pay someone else to do.

I have been following this strategy for the past 2 years and it has allowed me to hire 5 of my best friends and employee them so we all can make a decent living. I understand I may have made this sound "easy" and guess what it is. The hardest part is sticking to the plan and finding reputable people to work with.

I hope some will find this post helpful or can relate to it. I look forward to launching my product and helping others create an income online.

    Awesome!

    It really is simple. Too many people make it harder than it is.

    Now, just ignore those shiny objects! and do some work!

    Sure, you can make money online.

    I attest to that as well. And so many others on this forum. But I personally don't suggest that people do it some specific way. There are many ways to success and just copying someone else's methods may not be the best thing for another person.

    If you stick to it, you are likely to find your way to success. That's the key, I believe. Keep working until things start working, which I take as the most important message from your post.

    Thanks for sharing.

    I am newbie and I did not buy any of these BS videos or WSO's. I do not believe in them. I learned everything here on the Forum, and on another blogs.

    So, you are saying that you can sell those blogs after few months for more money that you invested in them?
    Sounds so easy and cool.

      Yes, I hold onto them for 2 months and then sell them. It typically cost about $75 for me to make these sites. Typically make my investment back through sales/ad revenue during the 2 months waiting period then sell for $197 and up. Here's an example of one I build in November: armaniexchangewatches.org

    That's an awesome plan and GREAT advice! Sticking with a well thought out plan has been a battle for me too (and, probably alot of others here).

    Once you start sticking to the plan, things seem to fall into place alot faster and "easier."

    Thanks for sharing your successful model and great advice!

    Congrats on your being able to employ your friends!
