How hard is it to make $1,000 per month?

highrider21 · 05-07-2009, 04:25 PM

In you opinion how hard would it be to make $1,000 per month? How soon can this be achieved and how many hours per day do you think it would take?

I want to quit my job and I only need $1,000 per month to quit (I still live with my parents). I've been wanting to do this since the beginning of this year but I still haven't received one check. (Haven't reached $100 in adsense or 5 sales in clickbank yet). I have only written one article and can't seem to motivate myself to write any more. How can I motivate myself to consistently work on building an internet business? Should I start with a smaller goal? Should I try something else besides article marketing?

Very easy. TOO easy in my opinion.

Membership sites are the way forward in my opinion. It's a recurring income on autopilot.

If you sold membership spots at $27 per month, you would only need 38 people signed up to surpass the $1000/m barrier.

However, running a membership site isn't easy. You have to update it with content, keep in touch with your members and worry about all the payments much more.

First question you need to ask yourself is "What value can I provide?" What knowledge, service, information do you have.

Second question is "Who will be helped by this value and who will pay for it."

Third question is "How do I get this value to them." (articles, membership sites, etc)

Throwing junk services, overpriced membership sites, and worthless articles will not build a business long term. Heck, to many people have tried it and it does not seem to be working too well now.

Remember what Zig Ziglar said, "Help people get what they want and they will help you get what you want."

that's right.

If you started out with a simple survey and asked what people wanted and needed that would certainly place you ahead of the pack.

Remember you can even outsource the creation of your new product or service.

1 Marketing · 05-08-2009, 05:38 AM

Honest Biz Pro is right, first you decide what value you possess? How will you get the value? If your inner self is satisfied what you are giving against what are you getting?

But before leaving the job plan for a long term earnings. Articles or membership sites etc. are not long term business generating sources.

Well, it may be easy for you today... but I bet it wasn't that easy in the beginning was it?

I speak from experience, nowadays I make more than $1K a month and it's easy for me because I know what do to. However, it wasn't easy for me to reach the $1k mark for the first time because I had no one to guide me and I had to learn everything myself from scratch.

falcon_warrior · 05-08-2009, 07:06 AM

Just wondering, how hard is it to make this amount with article marketing (say writing articles and submitting them to directories) alone? Im also a newbie and not making much

TristinTaylor · 05-08-2009, 09:40 AM

I think its good starting out to have a "per day" figure instead of a per month figure...it keeps u on better track...for example...to achieve $1000 a month u would need to make $33 a day approx .

aneel90 · 05-08-2009, 02:06 PM

Triston is right your goals need to be reachable, having a daily goal is easier o focus on when staring... also thanks for the detailed answer marx!

new2ebiz · 05-08-2009, 07:53 PM

Another approach is to look at the online business models that exist and determine which one fits your skills, budget, time, and personality. If you don't like to do something you can't put your heart into it.

And remember if you don't like to write don't choose a model that requires writing; or buy plr content and rewrite.
Almost any task required for any of the online business models can be outsourced.

Most of all you have to solve a need/problem someone has who is willing to spend money for it online.

As for the number of hours per day. Some people work better in blocks of 1-2 hours. When learning some people need to stick with it a little longer to 'learn' how to do something. Otherwise you have to relearn how to do something each time.

I like to use a checklist.

Other people's attention span is not that long. Time management and task process is very much an individual thing.

Good luck.

robertsgr · 05-09-2009, 03:54 AM

In my opinion, the most important thing is to take action. If you just stay and wait, nothing will happens. Are you reading every day at least an article about marketing? Are you trying to motivate yourself reading successful stories about peoples who are making a fortune on the net?

You said that you can't motivate yourself. You probably have hobbies. Try to find a niche about your hobby, this will keep your interest high and you will not quit after the first wrong step.

Make a step by step plan about you must to do and follow it. Your first $1000 will start with the first $1. If you can earn $1, this is a very good start. Make researches, see what marketing strategy helped you to reach this one buck and try to develop that strategy. Try to find new strategies and test them. See what is working and don't working.

Writing articles is just one way to make money or to promote your business. In this forum you can find a lot of good marketing strategies, just take your time to read and understand how the system is working.

1) Make a Plan ( You can find so many here at the Warrior Forum)
2) Take Action
3) Keep taking Action Consistently

$1000 / month should not be a hard to achieve as long as you keep your eyes on the ball, stick with your plan and not jump from project to project.

Well, content writing gives me 1k a month, but I am looking to get about 3k. This is why I have taken in several excellent writers and I have reduced my prices. The progress has been slow, but I am happy I am progressing.

Styleearn.com · 05-20-2009, 12:07 AM

Its totally depend upon you, there are a lot of ideas around the internet, but you should pick the right one that drives your interest.
I will suggest you to outsource the article writing with little investment and use associatecontent to earn money and reach your target.
Its not a big task.

James12C · 05-20-2009, 05:08 AM

There's some great advice here. Without wanting to duplicate:

Your own products - Articles - List - Really adding value and sticking at it.

Steven Heron · 05-20-2009, 05:13 AM

There are literally so many, many ways to make $1000/month in IM. You could do it with one single website with a couple of months of effort.

Use the Google Keyword tool to find a list of highly searched keyword terms. Find an affiliate program related to those keywords and create a Wordpress blog advertising the program. Wrtie 5 new articles a day for specific long-tail keywords that are related to the highly searched keyword term, and build backlinks thus increasing your site's authority. Do this for 30 days and you'll be ranking well under that term and receiving sales.

Really, it's not difficult at all, the above is just a simple example of many, many ways to earn the amount you're enquiring about.

Finch · 05-20-2009, 08:17 AM

Woah, you need to earn $1000 to be secure, and you're going to quit the day job as soon as you're earning $1000?

That's a recipe for disaster.

You shouldn't even think about quitting your job until you're earning at LEAST twice as much money as you need to get by, from a number of different sources.

Internet Marketing is an incredibly volatile business.

What if Google changes it's algorithm overnight? What if interest in your product drops? What if you lost that one big client?

Personally, I didn't even consider quitting my day job until I was earning $10,000/month minimum. Once I'd cracked that barrier, I wanted to make the same amount of money over 3 months solid.

It's not just about earning enough money to work for yourself, it's about preparing for how you're going to be earning money in six months time when Plan A fails.

If you don't have a Plan B, or a Plan C, you should hang on to the day job until you do.

I think in your case, you need to go and work out a Plan A.

So how are you doing highrider?

I think one of the hardest things to making that $1000 a month is being focused, committed, and not easily distracted.

Because that is what all of us marketers really do for a living...we learn how to successfully distract and convert visitors.

It took me 3 years working about 4 hours per day.

dyaonna · 05-20-2009, 04:31 PM

big info products that cost $47 or $97 and home study courses that cost $597 plus you can have affiliates market them. and you will make twice as much. then take every ebook apart and make a report for $10-$20 each and you will make more than 1K a month.

suraja · 05-20-2009, 05:17 PM

Believe me, it's hard enough, lol

You should have asked per Day.

I can't help you make $30 day, don't know how.

Sorry

1 Marketing · 05-20-2009, 08:42 PM

Make it $40 Per day. There are too many options, you need to work out for them.

Article Writing and Submission is the easiest these days. Only you need to know is the right client.

Are you kidding me?

That's one sale per day.

You're basically asking "Can I just catch one fish per day in the entire ocean on this planet?"

Choose a great product to sell, Pick your marketing flavor and stick to it.

A SMALL money making review blog with 5 product articles, and one opening article that tells your story.

"Hi my name is ___ and I ____. I still live with my parents and even I can make an income online. Because of this I've decided to expose the money (product topic) scams and review legitimate (topic) opportunities. If I can do it, so can you. "
And put up a picture.

It doesn't really have to be you, it just has to look as natural as a myspace page or some other nice blog.

Then set up a Twitter page of the same name. Start adding people and making posts. This takes minutes. MINUTES.

Now you have a blog you can promote, with products and articles.

To motivate yourself you need to create long term assets, such as a blog or a website. Something you can "own" that serves as a bedrock.

If you're leaping into the ocean do you swim all by yourself with nothing but a fishing pole, or do you get a boat and a net?

Your website is your boat. Your marketing (twitter, ads, whatever) is your net. Web traffic (millions) are your fish.

Now go fishing. Do it daily. Be patient.

P.S. Ditch adsense and focus on sales. It takes the same amount of effort and pays more.

Figure out a way to help people fill that need
The money will follow.

The purpose should be to improve someones life not on the money.

I am actually a part of 3 of those kinds of sites myself: global domains international, yuwie, and zenzuu. The only downsides to those sites is that if you can't build up a downline, they are not very profitable.

Eben · 05-29-2009, 09:05 PM

if you have some cash to spend (credit cards in my case

), PPC can get you there no problem. i had my $1k day (white hat) not too long ago doing both CPA and aff weight loss products. and if you're willing to get a little shady, you can ave $500/day pretty consistantly..

good luck!

Mark 2 · 06-01-2009, 09:22 AM

When I started about 1 year back I always used to think $1000 a month is a really hard nut to crack. But not now... I feel grate full to the moment I took the decision to start earning online.

honestbizpro · 06-01-2009, 06:54 PM

Making $1,000 a month is commonly easy to do, as long as you know how, and that's the part the stumps so many beginners that try. Honest, hard working dudes like you and I and even gals that work their fingers to the bone just staying at home raising kids are treated like imbeciles by most "guru's" selling the latest money making system. Hard work and effort is what is required to be successful.

When you have a desire and willingness to learn something honest and legit, it's very sad that a new comer starting out and getting their feet wet with IM, will do their searches for answers on how to earn a decent income online, and find all sorts of misleading crap. While doing this is super easy, ...the hardest part is gaining those skills and learning how to do it correctly. At least in my opinion.

It's hard for someone to find a method that works for them or a system that they can do consistently and remain motivated to keep doing. Just for the sake of making ends meet if not for anything else. And that's particularly true with the economy of these days.

It takes a lot more work and effort then 1 article brother. I am not trying to discourage you but if you're not motivated to write, then there are so many variables to the Internet that you can find methods that motivate you better then writing.

The question you should ask yourself is how hard is it going to be to stay motivated and work at it?

If you find yourself discouraged easily at writing, then try outsourcing your article work. I know I HATE writing articles myself, so I worked to the point that I can now pay to outsource this part of my business. I also know how hard it was trying to find something that worked for me. And the learning curve can be pretty harsh as well if you are unsavvy with the Internet like I was.

Everything that makes a successful campaign in my experiences has been with consistent daily work, and remaining on task with my goals. For starters, try making a goal of "write 1 article a day" ...or start even smaller then that and try 3 a week? If you write down your goals on a stickie note and post it on your monitor you will be more successful at achieving them. I don't know why or even HOW that works, but it does.

Maybe the real magic is in the stickie notes themselves! They have magic powers that make us succeed?

-Priest

That's right Priest.

I had a chance to talk to a Multi Millionaire Marketer personally recently and I asked him where did he start to obtain his first success.

He mentioned Article marketing!

But what he did that most will not be willing to do is he set a goal to do 100 articles each week and he collected leads.

I think what you can learn from that is if you create a $10 product than make the value 10 times that.

If you have a goal of $1000 then do the work for $5000. If you provide the value the money will come.

Give as much as you can.....let your competition cut corners while you over deliver.

Yeah, it's not a wise decision quitting your job until you see that your online business is stable. Starting an online business would surely cost you some money. As in all business, the more you invest, the bigger return.

ryansjones · 06-02-2009, 01:59 AM

As a fellow newbie, I think breaking $1000 a month can be difficult, especially at first. Here are some factors you might want to consider:
1. how much traffic your site or links are getting? Typically, the more traffic your site gets, the more likely people will buy and the more money you can make. Typically, new webmasters will probably not get quality traffic at first since the PR usually starts out at 0 and you have to be able to find ways to get traffic.
2. conversion rate - the more people that buy, become a lead, sign up for your program, the more money you can make. If you have a low conversion rate, then you probably will not make much at first.
3. skill level - if you are familiar with web marketing as well as sales-related jobs (such as commission sales jobs), then you will have an advantage when it comes to web marketing (same goes for web design skills). Of course, the total n00b will be in for a challenge, especially at first.
4. What niche you are focusing in? The more competitive the niche, the harder it will be to make money.

5. Trends, the more buyers you get, the better of course. Thought that I would point those out.

Mark 2 · 06-02-2009, 03:22 AM

To be honest earning of $1000 is not so easy for any newbie. It takes time to develop the aptitude and dedication to earn your first $1000. After wards, it will be easy to move ahead.

ScottR · 06-02-2009, 04:17 AM

Lots of great advice in this post. I'd add simply to make sure you focus on one project at a time rather than spreading yourself too thin (as most of us do at the start). Adsense used to be an easy way to make recurring money, and while it's no longer quite as easy to make that $1k a month with it, it still works as a simple way to monetize your traffic while you are working on products of your own. Just making a buck or two per day at the start can really provide you with the incentive to keep at it, focus, and develop your site and product/s.

Since you are not really selling with CPA it has a great appeal. And once you have the money you can expand into your own product or service as well.

I am very surprised that more people do not realize how much money they can make by simply matching people up who need a website or SEO SERVICES to people who actually do the work. You can score MONTHLY RE-CURRING INCOME by setting up on-going SEO services. (taking a portion of the monthly fee)

And the best part....you don't ever do the actual work!

1 article won't make you rich...

I like destination sites, depending where you live you could make a site about that particular area, write good and helpful restaurant reviews, take pictures around your area and soon you have a good unique site to promote...

Alternatively, you can purchase 100 articles for a site about any niche you think is profitable, shoot them up on a WP with a nice template and start building links...

Soon the site will be making money which you should reinvest to do another site same way until you reach your goal.

Never, ever use words like "hard".

Your question should be "how easy is it to make "$1000 per month"?

The answer is very easy.

If you make it hard it will be hard - and this is reflected in your results so far.

In life, be it sport, IM or anything, 95%+ is in the Mind, everything else is application.

I know I keep saying this, but IM is gazillions times easier than bricks and mortar.

When I started in business 33 years ago, I was 24 years old with nothing.

I sold my car - all I had - and started a national computer business against many established huge companies and I succeeded.

I succeeded for one reason - I never doubted that I would succeed.

Making $1000 per day is as easy as making $1000 per week or month - only you decide whether you can or not.

Never use words like: hard, try, hope etc.

As Yoda said: "do or do not - there is no try".

Wise and true.

mixelplik · 06-08-2009, 02:25 AM

A grand is easy to make if you are organized. You need to really decide what you want to focus on. I would start out by doing blog posting so you can understand the nuts and bolts that drive the web mainly traffic and backlinks. Once you're comfortable with paid posting then you can start $5 articles. I'd read any book you can on copywriting to build up those skills as well. I find that people like my articles alot and I'm really just following basic college essay writing format.

monsur · 06-08-2009, 03:15 AM

Thanks for all who has given valuable advice to "highrider21" .I hope you can easily reach your income goal by following this/these advice.However,if you like to start your own independent business like me ,you can consider the program lised in my blog by which I am making more than that of your expectation.It is so powerful and so honest program.

The answer is very easy.

If you make it hard it will be hard - and this is reflected in your results so far.

In life, be it sport, IM or anything, 95%+ is in the Mind, everything else is application.

I know I keep saying this, but IM is gazillions times easier than bricks and mortar.

When I started in business 33 years ago, I was 24 years old with nothing.

I sold my car - all I had - and started a national computer business against many established huge companies and I succeeded.

I succeeded for one reason - I never doubted that I would succeed.

Making $1000 per day is as easy as making $1000 per week or month - only you decide whether you can or not.

Never use words like: hard, try, hope etc.

As Yoda said: "do or do not - there is no try".

Wise and true.

Yoda? I guess that is why they call them Jedi WARRIORS!

In you opinion how hard would it be to make $1,000 per month? How soon can this be achieved and how many hours per day do you think it would take? I want to quit my job and I only need $1,000 per month to quit (I still live with my parents). I've been wanting to do this since the beginning of this year but I still haven't received one check. (Haven't reached $100 in adsense or 5 sales in clickbank yet). I have only written one article and can't seem to motivate myself to write any more. How can I motivate myself to consistently work on building an internet business? Should I start with a smaller goal? Should I try something else besides article marketing?

TOO easy in my opinion. Membership sites are the way forward in my opinion. It's a recurring income on autopilot. If you sold membership spots at $27 per month, you would only need 38 people signed up to surpass the $1000/m barrier. However, running a membership site isn't easy. You have to update it with content, keep in touch with your members and worry about all the payments much more. Daniel

Lifeimprovement LifeImprovement War Room Member Join Date: Feb 2009 Posts: 92 Thanks: 1 Thanked 8 Times in 8 Posts	Re: How hard is it to make $1,000 per month? First question you need to ask yourself is "What value can I provide?" What knowledge, service, information do you have. Second question is "Who will be helped by this value and who will pay for it." Third question is "How do I get this value to them." (articles, membership sites, etc) Throwing junk services, overpriced membership sites, and worthless articles will not build a business long term. Heck, to many people have tried it and it does not seem to be working too well now. Remember what Zig Ziglar said, "Help people get what they want and they will help you get what you want."

Honest Biz Pro is right, first you decide what value you possess? How will you get the value? If your inner self is satisfied what you are giving against what are you getting? But before leaving the job plan for a long term earnings. Articles or membership sites etc. are not long term business generating sources.

new2ebiz HyperActive Warrior War Room Member Join Date: Apr 2009 Posts: 199 Thanks: 11 Thanked 17 Times in 17 Posts	Re: How hard is it to make $1,000 per month? Another approach is to look at the online business models that exist and determine which one fits your skills, budget, time, and personality. If you don't like to do something you can't put your heart into it. And remember if you don't like to write don't choose a model that requires writing; or buy plr content and rewrite. Almost any task required for any of the online business models can be outsourced. Most of all you have to solve a need/problem someone has who is willing to spend money for it online. As for the number of hours per day. Some people work better in blocks of 1-2 hours. When learning some people need to stick with it a little longer to 'learn' how to do something. Otherwise you have to relearn how to do something each time. I like to use a checklist. Other people's attention span is not that long. Time management and task process is very much an individual thing. Good luck.

There are literally so many, many ways to make $1000/month in IM. You could do it with one single website with a couple of months of effort. Use the Google Keyword tool to find a list of highly searched keyword terms. Find an affiliate program related to those keywords and create a Wordpress blog advertising the program. Wrtie 5 new articles a day for specific long-tail keywords that are related to the highly searched keyword term, and build backlinks thus increasing your site's authority. Do this for 30 days and you'll be ranking well under that term and receiving sales. Really, it's not difficult at all, the above is just a simple example of many, many ways to earn the amount you're enquiring about.

Finch Affiliate Marketer Join Date: May 2009 Location: London, England Posts: 80 Thanks: 0 Thanked 21 Times in 14 Posts Social Networking	Re: How hard is it to make $1,000 per month? Woah, you need to earn $1000 to be secure, and you're going to quit the day job as soon as you're earning $1000? That's a recipe for disaster. You shouldn't even think about quitting your job until you're earning at LEAST twice as much money as you need to get by, from a number of different sources. Internet Marketing is an incredibly volatile business. What if Google changes it's algorithm overnight? What if interest in your product drops? What if you lost that one big client? Personally, I didn't even consider quitting my day job until I was earning $10,000/month minimum. Once I'd cracked that barrier, I wanted to make the same amount of money over 3 months solid. It's not just about earning enough money to work for yourself, it's about preparing for how you're going to be earning money in six months time when Plan A fails. If you don't have a Plan B, or a Plan C, you should hang on to the day job until you do. I think in your case, you need to go and work out a Plan A.

As a fellow newbie, I think breaking $1000 a month can be difficult, especially at first. Here are some factors you might want to consider: 1. how much traffic your site or links are getting? Typically, the more traffic your site gets, the more likely people will buy and the more money you can make. Typically, new webmasters will probably not get quality traffic at first since the PR usually starts out at 0 and you have to be able to find ways to get traffic. 2. conversion rate - the more people that buy, become a lead, sign up for your program, the more money you can make. If you have a low conversion rate, then you probably will not make much at first. 3. skill level - if you are familiar with web marketing as well as sales-related jobs (such as commission sales jobs), then you will have an advantage when it comes to web marketing (same goes for web design skills). Of course, the total n00b will be in for a challenge, especially at first. 4. What niche you are focusing in? The more competitive the niche, the harder it will be to make money. 5. Trends, the more buyers you get, the better of course. Thought that I would point those out.

Lots of great advice in this post. I'd add simply to make sure you focus on one project at a time rather than spreading yourself too thin (as most of us do at the start). Adsense used to be an easy way to make recurring money, and while it's no longer quite as easy to make that $1k a month with it, it still works as a simple way to monetize your traffic while you are working on products of your own. Just making a buck or two per day at the start can really provide you with the incentive to keep at it, focus, and develop your site and product/s.

I like destination sites, depending where you live you could make a site about that particular area, write good and helpful restaurant reviews, take pictures around your area and soon you have a good unique site to promote... Alternatively, you can purchase 100 articles for a site about any niche you think is profitable, shoot them up on a WP with a nice template and start building links... Soon the site will be making money which you should reinvest to do another site same way until you reach your goal. Kim

A grand is easy to make if you are organized. You need to really decide what you want to focus on. I would start out by doing blog posting so you can understand the nuts and bolts that drive the web mainly traffic and backlinks. Once you're comfortable with paid posting then you can start $5 articles. I'd read any book you can on copywriting to build up those skills as well. I find that people like my articles alot and I'm really just following basic college essay writing format.
