Lessons learned after I made $1303.97 this week

18 replies
Wow, what an awesome week! I basically doubled my salary this month just by selling some old stuff, and using my resources! I nearly doubled my goal of $100 a day!

Some of the things I learned this week..

Always keep your eyes open for deals!

One man's trash is another's treasure!

Fiverr is a great place to make money in more ways than one!

eBay fees suck, but the reach it has is enormous!

Keep an eye out for people who need help, you may not have the expertise to do so...but being the middle man has its advantages!

When you begin having success, it's addicting so you work that much harder....it's a snowball effect!

Thanks for reading!

Any questions? Feel free to ask!

      Details aren't important because replication is not a sound business model if you don't know how to make sound decisions to increase your business. However, the message of WORKING and trying new things is a huge takeaway no one ever seems to put much stock in over simply trying to copy someone.

        I agree to an extent...we are different people and that means we have different ways of attacking a problem. So what works for me may not for others. Its best to take these lessons and apply them to your own way of doing things..

        If that makes any sense

    This is so true.

    Tony Robbins made me aware of the 'Belief - Action - Result' triangle. When you take action (DO SOMETHING), you get better results, which makes you believe in yourself more. What happens when you KNOW you can do it? You take MORE action, then get GREATER results.

    It's truly a snowball effect that can go the other way, too.

    Learn to get that cycle into your favor and smash your goals.

    Good work by the way, OP.

      What if you take action, you don't get better results, in fact what if you get 0 result or horrible results and you lose belief?

      It happens and it has happened to me in more than one occasions..

      When that happens.. just remember, if you keep trying and don't give up, failure turns into feed-backs and success become a matter of time

        You simply FIND OUT what you're doing wrong, FIX IT, then do it BETTER.

        You will not succeed all the time. That's why it's important to just keep pumping out new ideas ( & by "new ideas" I don't mean "new methods" - I mean improving your current methodology), market, test test test better ways of doing your thing, and experiment like a control freak.

        That's how you get success. It's really not hard if you just find people who are successful, and find out what they're doing. All I do is rank quality content that sells. It's one of the easiest and most traditional methods that marketers use. Get GSA, make a great video, rank it on google. Rank sites. Learn keyword research.

        You do not need to be a genius. Even an amateur can make better-than-good money.

      Yeah its a double edged sword.


      If anyone is curious the main source of this income is coming from craigslist and ebay. I use craigslist to find leads, and I outsource the work to fiverr...simple but effective

    Congrats on your success. Having multiple income streams are good. But make sure you try to automate all these stuffs, otherwise you will have to work 20 hours a day.

      Anyone want to point me towards some ways to make hands free cash?
      {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[9236919].message }}
      • Profile picture of the author EmpireMarket
        To make hands free cash, what you need is a system that allows you to make money while you are sleeping..
        1) You can consider owning your own product and letting affiliates sell for you
        2) You can try to franchise someone else's online business system..

    Letsmake100aday That's awsome man! Congratulations on your success. I completely agree with you when you say the ebay has good reach as far as traffic is concerned. The thing that makes ebay so cool is the fact the better your track record is as a seller or a buyer, the more traffic ebay will send your way automatically and trust me when I tell you it is one of the best feelings you can get as an internet marketer.
