Full Time Marketers ... What's Your Story?

5 replies
Hey Everybody,

The dream is going Full Time and working
from home (or anywhere else)

But too many people quit before they get there

So I'd love to hear some stories from people
who Do Internet Marketing and Nothing else

I'll start it off ...

I used to be a Mainframe Computer Programmer
making a 6 Figure Income

In 2002 I got laid off and couldn't find a job

We had to sell our house in NYC (too expensive)
and moved to Florida on a wing and a prayer

I Struggled trying to Earn an Income ...

In Sept 2004 a friend Introduced to an Online
Greeting card business called Send Out Cards
(Caution it's one of those MLM things!)

I worked the greeting card business for a couple
of months and then got distracted

I started Investing in Real Estate ..

I bought a bunch of broken down houses and
attempted to fix them up and sell them

IT WAS A NIGHTMARE!!!!!

I don't know what the heck I was doing

I almost had 8 foreclosures

Luckily I got rid of all the properties without
trashing my credit

I WAS FREE!!!!

But I still had a problem

I didn't know How I was going to earn an income

Then my wife said something that changed
our lives

"What about that Greeting card thing? They keep
sending you checks and you're not working the
business. what if you actually did something?"

I started focusing on the greeting card business
in April 2006. By August of 2006 (less than 6
months later) I had built it into a full time income!

So that's my story and I'm sticking to it!. I have an
ebook that explains what I did if anybody wants it
just PM me

So lets hear YOUR STORY!

P.S. Besides being a Full Time Send Out Cards distributor
I am also a Copywriter ,, and a pretty darn good one

      Really cool story - it sounds like one of many successful people.

      They are in a crunch and try some new things out. They might fail at first, but most importantly they get back up and try again. That is probably the most important aspect of any really successful person out there.

      I'm sure your real-estate business wasn't a complete loss, right? Even if you just managed to break even, I'm willing to bet you learned a lot about yourself and also conditioned yourself to work on your own.

      +1 Level up of your entrepreneurial skills.

      1 - How many of you are Marketing Full Time and No longer gave a JOB?

      I have been working online since age 14 - haven't had a job since. I'm 23 now so almost 10 years of being self-employed. I love it and still don't understand why people bust their butts for someone else for such little pay.


      2 - What do you Do? (Article Marketing . Affiliate marketing Adsense Creating products?

      Started out selling virtual weapons and armor on this video game called Diablo 2. I was 14 and ranking in $1,000/m while having an absolute blast playing a game I loved to play.

      At 16 I started my web hosting business and still run it to this day. That was my first really successful online business. On top of that I just started my affiliate marketing business about 5 months ago. I also am starting my product creation business - have 2 products made so far, and 1 more lined up within the next month.

      It's a lot of fun - I love the thrill of having to figure stuff out on my own without being told what to do. It's the thrill of the challenge I guess...
