Has anyone here ever made it to $1,000,000?

27 replies
Hey Guys,

I have just been wondering recently how realistic the idea of reaching $1,000,000 online is?

Well approx $1,659,440 because I am in the UK, so £1,000,000.

I am not saying I am wanting to become a millionaire or anything (although I am not saying I don't either!) but I am just curious how possible it is?

Have any of you guys ever hit the 1 million mark?

And please don't fill this thread up with things like "to reach the 1 million mark you need to understand that there is a lot of work needs to go into it.....etc"

I am just looking for "Yes" "No" or "Close to it" kinda answers please, obviously a little more to it than that but you get the idea......I hope!

Thanks Guys (I hope there are loads of yes replies!)

      How many clients does it take to say you are a millionaire?

      How about 5.

      The book value of a client is often 8 years, so 30K x 8 is the value of any residual income client in business. That's 240k, so 4 clients gets you a book asset of 960K and the 5th client makes your net worth over 1M.

      It's THAT EASY.

      It's why AOL paid Ferber 400M for only 800 clients via Advertising.com

      I remember being offered that name around 2000. It was 200K or so, almost pulled the trigger, but didn't. He did for a little less and developed a service that had a minor amount of clients under 1K of them and bingo AOL forked over almost half a billion.
      So how many millions have you made?

          Like I said making a million or creating assets valued at a million is no big deal.
          No big deal? I wasn't born smart, and literally failed my way through highschool. For the past few years, I've been looking for the lowest class job possible (toilet cleaner, pizza delivery, dish washer) and no one is interested in me. I'm not a recent high school leaver either.

          Care to share with me how "I" could make a million with no money and no brains? All I know is Web Design, but people still don't want me.

          It seems I'm not wanted in this world.

              I've already read that thread. It didn't even help me one bit.

              If someone doesn't want to hire me as a toilet cleaner, pizza delivery driver, or dish washer, what makes you think I have a chance to even earn 1 million in my entire LIFETIME?

                  You made 100 in about an hour.
                  I've already tried that, they called the police, and I didn't get any money. Someone else gave me that same advice.

                  I'm going to be honest with you, it seems as if you are speaking hypothetically and theoretically. Care to give me some PRACTICAL help?

                      I already did that, they called the police, because I wasn't the employed window cleaner.

                      Clearly you have never done that before in this day and age. Look: Don't give advice or help if it isn't going to work. I'm sick and tired of people giving me theory. Come on, be fair.

                        Try reading some sales books and sales advice websites. Learn a bit about sales, or just pick up enough to fool someone in an interview. There are always sales jobs to be had. Hell, go sell cars -- if you have any drive, you can make some good money.

                        Once you get some money and confidence built up, you can venture out on your own. If you want to start something right at this moment, do it on the side.

            Well I haven't made Millions yet, but sure feel like one today cause my daily earnings just reached $400 today (all from one venture, explained below). That's beating the previous daily best of $60. Long jump as you can see in the earnings, hence why I am buzzing now :>

            Made all that by promoting a link that company gives and then pays you $10 for every unique click. So I just went & posted the link to my contact list, Facebook and Twitter follower. You can PM me to get details if you want.

            Stop feeling sorry for yourself, the only thing you're doing is bringing yourself down. You don't need to be the smartest person to make money online - hell in every single math courses i attended in highschool i got low 50-60's.

            You don't need to be smart, you just need to work smart and actually take action rather then stand around here on this thread asking for ways to make money.

            No one is going to hand you a golden scripture to making money online, its time for you to pull your own weight and find out how you should make your money either it be through: SEO, Services, Affiliate marketing or whatever you choose. All you need to do is find a right action plan and follow through with it.

            Making money online is not hard at all.

            chickenfillet,

            Reading your #5, 9, 12, & 15, sounds like you're feeling sorry for yourself.

            If you don't love yourself no one else will.

            Show us what you've done as Web Designer. No samples?

            Have you placed a free Craigslist ad?

            Change "Chickenfileet" to something appropriated to what you trying to do.

            There's lots of things you can do and you need no money to do it.

            There's all kinds of Free info available here. Did you Study the other discussion forums?

            Just start with one thing, keep focus and don't give up no matter what.

              I know! Does anyone need a live support chat guy from a different TimeZone? I'll be your live support chat guy! I can also do Data Entry, if anyone is interested, and web design. I made $16,000 over 4 years building auto-pilot affiliate sites using SEO traffic, they died recently because of a Google update.

              But in reality, all I want is a bottom class job, a toilet cleaner, dish washer, pizza delivery guy. and I just CAN'T GET IT! They don't hire me, they only hire their friends or relatives.

              Even if I make $1,000,000 in my 'entire' lifetime I'll be a happy camper.

    There many people who already hit the million mark in less than 2 years with direct sales.
    My first goal was to make 10k nor im working on my second goal which is 100k.

    Im only 21 years old and 100000 doesn't seem to be a big number. My mentor made 10+ in less than 5 years.

    Many people have reached 1 million, though it takes many years of building, it is very possible given the right tools and resources, and start up funds of course.

    I know a guy in the ____ industry and he is crushing xxx,xxxx per month and has been consistently for years all online.

    To the bigger guys 1m achievable but with lots of hard work and persistency. you might be working 5 years online and never make it. someone lucky might get it working in a few months. you never know until you try I guess.

    P.S:

    Don't listen to some of these guys suggesting get rich gurus or get rich quick books. Those will be nothing but a waste of time.

    No.

    But 6 months ago I was making 1000 a month online. Now 3000/month is no sweat and things are only looking to improve.

    Stop worrying about making a million or magic investments or 1 time gimmicks. Work on making 100 a month, then 1000 a month, scale up to 2000... These are very realistic goals. Figure out how to expand and keep working up.

    You will NOT be making a million on your own but you may need to figure out the business/model on your own because there's no magic recipe. Then you keep scaling up which means outsourcing or hiring team members, etc...

    So it's two steps:
    1. Find something that works for you.
    2. Figure out how to scale it up.

    No one can tell you how you will do it though they can tell you how they did it which can help.

      What warriordanny said is true. Focus on steady income every month. Learn more about your trade, so you can increase your earnings even more. Focus on your talent and skills, then keep on improving them. Afterwards, you will be surprised with the amount of money you are banking.

      In my opinion, maybe it is true that there are some people who made $1M online..but I can be sure that they were not able to do this in just a short span of time. I bet what they did is they focused on what they know best first, improve what they are doing, and viola! $$$ started to come in.

    The only way to do it is going on a much bigger scale, cpa can help you with this and to make 1 million dollars you will need some money to back you up.

    I have few face book pages and i promote affiliate programs there. I also have a very small list and I started IM just 10 months ago but I am still making £1200-£2000 a month with very little efforts. I have a full day job as well.
    When I think of me earning such money with little efforts it makes me think I can make more and more with more and serious efforts.
    I am sure there are many warriors who make £100000 a year.

    Since 1997, I have had 3 years in which I cleared 250K. I figure with the profits from other years, yep - I'm close or have surpassed that.

    I'm now focusing on product creation/affiliate marketing - seems to work best for me.
