Reached my Goal of $500/day - Writing It Down Works

Not a big time expenditure for me. I could and will scale up eventually by outsourcing but for now I'm happy to keep the profits and work a few hours per day.

That's great...

Congratulations, Rebecca!

Congrats! I'm a firm believer in writing down your goals and your case is even more proof. (I've also down the wallpaper image thing too).

I just have a quick question. I'm new to back linking and it seems pretty time consuming and laborious. Without saying exactly how you do it, could you expand a little on how you get the most bang for your buck out of just 5 hours of back linking per week? To me, that's seems like a huge accomplishment in and of itself.

Thanks!

I just create a few web 2.0 properties, post some content on them and link those to my ezinearticles and my blog.
Also do some social bookmarking.
Commenting on blogs.

Basic stuff works

I have been reading this thread and today is my first day inside of the Warrior Forum.

Can someone recommend where I can find some good insight into getting started or other threads about getting started?

I have a goal of obtaining similar results to Rebecca. Thank you.

[spycraft]

Very well done! Congrats

[braver55b]

Congrats, I must say Rebecca, You've really motivated me to stop procrastinating,writing down and set about the business of meeting those goals.

Any idea how I can make something similar (to your desktop background) for my desktop?

[Noel2010]

Congratulations. I will do that and write $300 a day.

[AndyBlackSEO]

Congratulations Rebecca. This thread is very inspirational to many people reading it. Considering I work full time at internet marketing, SEO and web development, I could be a lot more productive with my time some days than what I actually am.

After reading your post yesterday it has made me realise that I am leaving a lot of money on the table by spending too much time on less important tasks, and not always enough time on the 'more important' tasks. Hopefully this will change now.

Onwards and upwards!

Sure, it's easy.

If you have photoshop or a similar program just open a new blank document the size of your desktop, in my case its 1440x900 pixels.

Then just paste images on there until it takes up the entire space. You might need to crop them a bit to fit. You can also write on them with the text tool.

I'm no graphic designer but if you want me to make a simple background for you just PM me.

I always love to hear people sharing their successful stories to inspire other people.Its a big pleasure to read and it gives a positive feedback to keep working on inspite of any problems that will come.

[wyomble]

$500/day with 20/hrs a week of work...That sounds nice. I need to concentrate more on my on-line stuff than my off-line property management business. If I learned to be as efficient as you I would make about $1100/day on-line with the hours I put in at my day job.

[AidanKay]

Hey,

It's always nice to here other marketers making so *damn* much. Especially a fellow Aussie ;D.

But I'm curious (I didn't read your whole thread), how do you do it? Without giving away your secrets of course.

But yes, good luck on reaching 1k a day. That would certainly be something :P.

Cheers,

-Aidan.

[Eric Transue]

Congratulations! The desktop background is a wonderful idea.

[ricks2010]

GOOD STUFF!!!!! WAY TO GO!!!!

[Nightengale]

I second everyone's thanks on this thread.

Better yet, I had an idea for creating something similar using TickerFactory.com. I wanted to create two tickers: one for the $500/day goal and one for my subscriber goal (listbuilding). (The money's in the list!)

So off I went to create the ticker and put it on my desktop. Created it, saved the HTML code, right-clicked and selected "Set Background As." Aaack! It set the entire image as my destop background and believe me, it did NOT look pretty. (It was all twisted and distorted and the background was black!)

I've just changed it back to what it was. Anybody know how I can put the little ticker image on my desktop WITHOUT setting it as my entire background???? I like my current background image and just want to put the little tickers on my desktop as icons, not the entire background!

I LOVE this idea (thanks Rebecca!) if I can just get it to do what I want!

Thanks,
Michelle

[s4nt0s]

Great thread, thanks for sharing your experience with us. Very motivational indeed.

I decided to make a new desktop background. Let's see if it works. =)

[TheDebtEliminator]

Hi Rebecca,

Without written goals and a plan to achieve them

You probably would not be where you are

Big Kudos to You - very well done

[Rully]

Writing Down Your Own Goal !!! simple step for a big success. Thanks so much Rebecca, get inspired with that. I also writing down the goal,but sometime I lost my motivation to reach my goal. 500$/day that so amazing for me.please show me the way :-)

[scartego]

Great info!

[Murali]

well done Rebecca. congrats on reaching your goals.

and yes. writing down your goals really make things much better.

[RebeccaL]

Sorry Michelle I've never used that service before so can't help you there!

Whoa nice background s4nt0s - straight to the point that's for sure

[Amanda_Moon]

Congrats on your success!

Keeping your eyes on your goal every day keeps that goal fresh on your mind. Our most common thoughts and desires are the ones we put the most effort into.

Good luck and wishes on your continued success! Great Job

[thewizard]

The power of positive thinking. If you can dream it, you can achieve it. You're right, whether you need to write it down, see it everyday, think about it everyday, just keep your thoughts focused on your goals and you will reach it before you know it. Congrats to you Rebecca!
The law of attraction - best thing ever!!

[dmail333]

Congrats... keep doing what you've been doing. Rebecca you're doing a great thing posting this here... Hope this stirs others to move on their dreams.

[dave147]

congratulations on reaching one of your goals - I too believe it was due to you writing it down that made it a reality. Write down whatever you want - see it daily - take action towards it - can it be any easier?

[competitive]

Congratulations Rebecca. All ways set goals as you will always achieve them.

[feelyou]

great post! Thanks you

I have posted my immediate gaol of $300 on my desktop when I can see it, and when I get discouraged I look at it.

I have also broken down that figure into several incremental steps which are doable, not sure of the time limit but they are doable, and I read it every night before going to bed and every morning first thing. Thne I set gaols for myself that day and slowly chip away at what I have to do.

Thanks four your post it has been an inspiration

Well done Rebecca keep the good work going!

[onetag]

WOW Rebecca - that's absolutely wonderful. I hope to be there myself in the not too distant future, so long as I keep working at it every single day and stay focused.

How many niche blogs do you currently have in order to achieve this kind of income? I'm asking, as I'm trying to decide if I should spend more time building more blogs, or more time marketing the ones I have.

Thanks!

[FlashDriveDT]

Congrats, Rebecca!!

Well, not quite 500 a day but I also achieved my first milestone last month. I broke the €100 barrier which was a 5-fold increase for me from the previous month. It looks like August is going to have some great growth too. I think for only being at this for 6 months, just with one affiliate website is pretty good. Focus is key!

I attribute this success mainly to two things:
1. My desktop wallpaper showing the universe with a green 8 on it. (8 is the number for financial wealth and security) I also pasted a screenshot of my ebay affiliate dashboard on it with my desired goal amount. €1329.02 by the end of this year.
2. Angela's and PJ's backlink packets. Seriously, everyone here should utilize them (wisely) and see their google rankings and income increase.

[Shana_Adam]

ahh congratulations. That reminds me I better start using my scrolling reminder bar with my intentions!

What ever you focus on you get - plain and simple!

[Mangozoom]

Well Done Brilliant ... LOVE INTERNET MARKETING

[kayelex]

Glad this got bumped a little. I like reading these success stories. Congratulations on meeting your goal. That is truly a great milestone. Just keep growing that goal like you are and remember to diversify! Don't want to put all your eggs in one basket.

[TheDebtEliminator]

Hellio Rebecca,

A big congratulations on reaching your goal and $500 per day is great

Writing it down goals works ............

I like that you thought about and then wrote down some of the things that you might do when you gaol was reached.

All the Best

[rawservices]

Congratulations on reaching the $500 mark!

I decided to borrow your idea and made my own banner for my desktop!

Here it is if anyone else would like it for theirs:

Hi Rebecca

An old thread but I just found it thru one of your other posts.

$500 a day is seriously amazing, do you realize it's the equivalent of $3,650,000 in the bank at 5% interest?

Well done, please keep us posted when you reach your $1,000 a day goal:-)

[achivement84]

Hey,

Nice post , i think your desktop background with having all places you want to visit gave you good motivation, i agree you that changing on your work enviroment can change your work ability.I think most of us do as you without having $$$$ in their desktop, but instead by having an aim and i think it`s the same idea.

B.Regards

[Vaan]

Nice Rebecca..

You inspire me a lot, I have make a custom desktop my self..

You Know? my goal is $ 10,000 profits in the end of this year, so far I achieved around $ 1,000,
I'm on my way right now...

Goodluck,
Vaan

[Charann Miller]

That's awesome Rebecca.

Obviously writing it down and then taking massive action is key and you're working smart too and by the sounds of it, enjoying the process.

If you've reached the $500 mark then $800 and more is completely achievable, I guess all you have to do now is just scale.

[RebeccaL]

Amazing background rawservices

snazzy - money in the bank is wasted money
Best off investing it rather than paying tax on the interest.

[designfuschion]

I've been contemplating setting up a 'vision board' for the desktop background. This has reaffirmed that i should.

jewin,
mentioned think and grow rich. Funnily enough,i have a copy on my external drive which i havent read yet. (it's possible i read 15yrs ago). This week my grandparents send their copy to my mother! Mum has already started reading it(i'm glad) and she told me it's very mum like the secret except it's more indepth. She think's 'the secret' pretty much plagarised think rich grow rich.

To everyone's success,
df

...off to make my desktop vision board..

[ian hannaford]

Fantatstic results!! Are you Affiliate marketing or MLM? Goal Setting is amazing.

Just put it there and ignore them - they are fools, you young Man are not. Just do it!

[Greg Cooksley]

Hey Rebecca,

Thanks for this thread.....it's fantastic!!!!

We all get busy with "stuff" and don't focus on what's "important and urgent". Just yesterday I was talking to a close friend and he was saying that the key is to Prioritise and to focus on your strengths.

Thanks for sharing.....

Regards

Greg

[RebeccaL]

I'm heading to your wonderful continent next year thanks to my online business. Not South Africa, but would love to go there oneday too!

Awwww.....no fair Rebecca....

Why you skipping us.....South Africa is by far the jewel on this continent by a long way.....IMHO

Try and extend your journey and come south. Where are you going by the way?

[MJ Schaefer]

Good for you, Rebecca!

It is pleasing to see somebody advocating mindset and simplicity above all else. Don't lose that message, because you will get bombarded with questions concerning nook-and-cranny strategies.

To everyone else: I'd recommend reading Rebecca's blog, too. She has her head screwed on.

Congrats again!

(you ought to launch a WSO for that custom wallpaper...! )

[Greg Cooksley]

Hey Rebecca,

Just thought i'd let you know....keep getting a 504 Gateway Timeout error when I try to reach your website....
