Who's Making $1k/Day Passive Income?

Ok, who's making $1k/day (or more) passive income?

Real passive income, meaning if you took a 30 day vacation completely absent from anything to do with work, you would come back to $30k profit from that month?

And I mean profit.

Not like "Ya, I make $30k/month while I sleep - if you don't take my expenses into consideration, in which case I make about $3k/month)

I mean you own 1 or more sites that pull in a combined profit of at least $1k/day by themselves on auto-pilot.

If so:

1) How many sites do you have that make up your total income?
2) What methods are you using? (affiliate, products, memberships, etc.?)
3) Did you invest in sites that were already making $$ or did you build it from the ground up?
4) How long did it take to get to $1k/day consistently?
5) What are your monthly costs?
6) How confident are you in your $1k/day lasting the next 5 years?
7) Are you going to bill me for these answers?

Cheers
Jay

    1) 5 websites
    2) Product creation
    3) Built from the ground up
    4) The first time I launched a site it took a few months, building layer by layer.
    5) Hosting fees
    6) Very.
    7) Naw, the first consultation is free for Warriors

    I've taken a 3 month holiday recently and it didn't have any impact on the business, right now I'm putting so much into customer support which is my choice, but prevents me from taking that amount of time off at the moment but I will be doing something like that again later in the year, just takes a little bit of planning and pre-warning customers.

      Nope, not me. But, if that had a double meaning and you think I shouldn't have posted this, don't beat around the bush. I'm a grown man, I can take it.

      I guess alot of forums do tend to eat you alive if you do not have much to offer but you want everything to gain.

      But at the same time you can not blame a guy for trying. I kinda like people who are direct and straight to it.
      How do you know what I have to offer? Oh, you judged my experience by the post? Fair enough.

      IMO, these are pretty generic questions, but if anyone is offended by it, please let me know.

      I personally have been making residual income since 2003. I don't make 1k/day, but from 2003 - 2007 I had a network of adult affiliate sites that made passive income that allowed me to walk away from it for 30 days and I would still make a good living from them.

      I sold it all when my baby girl was born and quit adult.

      I'm working on building it up in mainstream and I was curious of other people's experience here.

      If you don't want to share answers to any of the questions, that's perfectly fine, but I honestly don't get why anyone would find this post insulting on an Internet Marketing forum built to help each other.

        There's a theme going around in the Internet Marketing world called " offering value" which a lot of people take to mean hey when you post on a thread unless you're well known only give tested advice and don;t ask questions until you've given enough value because asking is taking value.

        I don't really see it that way. I think a good question that makes us all think or that people answer and their ANSWERS give value offers value to all of us so the question is the medium for that.

        Anyway .. hope that clears things up and I don't think that guy meant anything suggestive by "flamed". It's a term used online to say that you took a lot of heat for something.

        I've worked in the adult market too. I know how negative people can be.

        Everybody on Warrior Forum is cool for the most part.

She is perfectly legitimate in claiming that she was awarded 'wso of the day', you only need to contact Mike Lantz to confirm this fact.

        Whomever you're talking about, including yourself were not "Awarded" anything - it was nothing more than a JV at a reduced price.

        Personally, I think trying to spin this into an award is pretty scummy in this community. But, Allen is now aware of this and will act on it as he sees fit.
        I'm seriously missing something here. I can't see an initial post that brought out the swords....I'll have to comb over it again...maybe I was too busy worrying about possible shots being taken at me. lol

          The problem seems to be with implying it's an "award", now don't get me wrong, I'm honored that Mike personally reviewed and picked one of my WSO's out of the hundreds to choose from.

          When someone like Mike Lantz gives you a thumbs up, in my book that's something to be proud of. I doubt he would risk his reputation by promoting a weak product.

          In a marketing forum where the competition is tough, using what we can to make our WSO's stand out is common sense, it is a marketing forum at the end of the day.

          As the problem seems to be with the word "award" which I can understand when explained from a certain point of view (thank you for sharing a fresh point of view btw), the way to solve this problem is to simply stop using the word "award", which is just one of many words that can be used to convey the same message. "Granted", "issued" "choosen", "selected" all tell the same story without implying there is any award to be won.

    This is a great idea for a thread Jay! It is very inspiring to read about people making good passive income.

    BTW Jay has a tremendous amount to offer. I am on his email list and though I can't handle anymore websites right now, I can't resist looking when he has a new one. Each site he makes is truly special. He is extremely talented. Jay built a beautiful website for me that is my best earner. His work and support is outstanding. When I am ready, I have another one in mind that I hope he will build. I am a big fan of Suite J!

    And I am sure with his creativity, passion and work ethic Jay will be making tons more passive income on top of what he is already doing now!

    I say "I am making $1k a day passive income" to myself in the mirror each day, I hope Louise Hay is right about this stuff

    Of course you do realise there is no such thing as truly passive income, right? It's more like paid annual leave.

      Would you mind sharing how you do that? eg, CPA, Affiliate sites, etc?

      I am also very interested in the answers to this thread, that's what we need, straight answers to straight questions!

      I have also bought from SuiteJ, and his work is truly amazing! I think you will surprise yourself how successful you will be Jay!

      30k is not chump change. Is your business
      built on quicksand? I prefer 5k a month passive
      income to your 30k-a-month work forever.

        LOL. To each his own man. I'm sure CGC will take $25k/month MORE in profit, even if he has to work everyday for it, than your "preferred" $5k/month that is passive.

        Additionally, for some reason I think he will take that any day, any time, without a lot of convincing. I don't know... just a hunch.

      I don't see why someone at that income level would post here to tell you about it.

      Because frankly - who are you? and why should they open themselves to people stuffing their inbox with requests for free time and energy.

      And most often you will get dishonest replies.

      Isn't there anything more specific you want to ask?

        So are you saying that I should only ask for help from people on my own current income level?

        And I suppose I should not help people that are not on my income level?

        My business would sink into the toilet if I refused to help every newbie that isn't on my income level unless they paid me first. Plus, I certainly wouldn't respond with an attitude like "I don't think so, cause frankly, who are you?"

        Personally, I don't feel that I need to get paid for every ounce of help I give. Maybe that's why I'm still not making $1k/day, but if that's the case, I can live with making hundreds/day while still being "available" to help others. lol

        Oh, and if you're a Warrior reading this and think that I might be able to help you out with a question or two, feel free to "stuff my inbox with requests for free time and energy".

        I'll try to help you if I can, and you won't be billed.

        This forum is for helping each other right?

        Cheers

        I actually like this thread, making this type of income is very possible. I have $1,000 and $5,000 days, it has much to do with the product you are offering and your marketing budget.

    Mark, I'm sorry if you think I was ignoring you. I just read through your PM, and have no wish whatsoever to stir up any controversy in here. I have deleted my post. It is what it is, and we know that Mike is operating this tracking system with the full permission of the warrior forum admin, otherwise all the 'wso of the day' subject lines for wso threads would have been deleted a long time ago - you will see a new one put up every day by wso pro, which is of course subject to change in the future, like with anything else.

    I'm not making $1K a day, but I think this is a great thread (other than all the people that can't help themselves to come in and make negative comments).

    Suite J is a great Warrior and has contributed a lot to the forum so it is just completely wrong to say he isn't a contributor and shouldn't post this question.

    It's a great topic and as a site flipper myself, my income also dries up if I take annual leave. I am hoping to build more passive income this year too so I would love to hear more answers from people who do have that successful passive income.

          I doubt anyone would share their niches, I wouldn't give mine away so easily because the last thing I'd want is someone with a bigger budget or more experience entering the same niche to compete with me.

            If you want to make money with your niche you can not keep it a secret, people must know about it, talk about it, come to your website, recommend it, write about it, I always thought that publicity is good, especially good publicity.

              I love how you left out the second part of her quote. People going to the website for purposes of analyzing it for marketing purposes are totally different than people going to the site because they are actually interested in the actual niche. Louise is saying that by releasing a niche and a website to a potential competitor, they will probably take away profit from that site by imitating and stealing traffic, especially if they have the means to do so.

              Yes but that is getting your niche known in a different context than on a forum like this where you could have 100 people go out and copy exactly what you are doing if they know your niche - then you are just giving yourself more competition. Although your niche needs to be known to make money, it only needs to be known to those looking for something in that niche, not to those who will be your competition.

                If you start a website for internet marketing purposes and wondering how to get it out there, get more traffic, get more people to know about it, then the fist thing you learn are: Article Marketing, directory submissions, forum postings, social bookmarking and so on. All of these marketing strategies involve leaving a link at somewhere so it is very difficult if not even impossible to make it only know to a very small circle of people and keep it a secret.

                If somebody says that he or she is making money selling hats for dogs online and makes lot of money you can not just start doing it as well and start making lot of money. The reason this person is successful is not because they kept they niche secret, it is because they have been doing lot of work, they have been doing lot of SEO, right marketing, research, and so on and probably are very passionate about their business.

                There is always people who claim to make lot of money with some sort of secret niche, and they use some secret internet marketing teckinguqe and they can't tell you that because you might start doing it as well. And if somebody new in this business posts a thred in a forum asking for best niche then they just say like everybody else: Fat burning, Spirituality, Muscle building, Dog training, Food, Relationships, Stock trading system, Stay younger. Or if they are asked for best marketing methods then they say like everybody else : Article marketing, social bookmarking, adwords and so on.

                So the new guy is left to wonder, if he is suppose to do article marketing or keep looking for that secret niche and marketing technique that will make him 1k a day. Or if it is possible to make that sort of money at all.

                  I can see where you are coming from, but if you did happen to find that 'secret' niche, or relatively untapped niche and you are doing really well with it then you are not likely to come on a forum like Warrior and post your niche for all to see.

                  If you are making a lot of money from more common niches like weight loss, fitness, dog training, etc, then it wouldn't be such an issue to post your niche as there is so much competition out there already.

                  Anyone new needs to understand that it isn't necessarily the niche that makes so much money for you but the keyword research and the work put into building your website around those keywords that counts.

                  Having said that though, I'll stick to my guns in that if I had a reasonably untapped niche that was doing really well, I wouldn't be sharing it!

                    Niche Marketing can refer to both marketing and business choice. In and of itself, niche marketing refers to finding a segment of the general market for a service or product line. One then develops a solution for the needs of that segment and then markets to it to get the word out.

                    So If you agree with me that the above sums up what nice marketing is, then if you discover something new your strategy should be to come out with it very strong and very fast, that will give you a chance to stay in a leading position. If you try to keep it a secret and somebody else discovers it ( and they will ) and comes out with it, then it would be lot harder to gain the leading position for that product or service.

              hey Jay,

              there are some people who feel it's impolite to ask people what they are making. It's a personal choice, I guess...

              but passive income is where it's at. It's how I want to live. Work hard for a short while and reap the rewards for years to come
              and frankly, $1k NET per week would be enough for me to live comfortably...
              I don't need a lot of material stuff to make me happy...the freedom is what's more imprtant...and to me, passive income=freedom!

        I don't think Jay is asking for exact blueprints, just a general idea of what people are doing to make that sort of money.

        Come one guys, why do people have to be so negative about things - hey if you are making that sort of money and don't mind giving a brief explanation of what you do (adsense, affiliate marketing, etc) then give a response.

        If you do mind, then don't give a response.

        If you just don't have anything better to do than come onto threads and find negatives about it - hey I guess that's why you're not making money - there are better things to do than just go around making negative comments in threads.

          My thoughts exactly. Why come on just to spread negative energy. I did not realize that so many people in here would be this negative to a great thread. I thought this would be the one forum where a question like this would be met with great responses.

      I bought a WSO of the day about CPA marketing because I haven't done any in quite some time, and all I did way back then was to place CPA links on my site. I thought it would be a fast way to catch up. This WSO offered three ways to make money with CPA, and two of the three were illegal, involving the use of other people's copyrighted material. So I'm guessing Mike Lantz, who I don't know, is basing his selection on something other than product quality...unless he isn't concerned about copyright infringement.

      You are so right about that. A person can share other useful information though, without revealing the sites or niches involved. For example, where is the money coming from, a membership site, an Amazon site, Adsense money, reviewing affiliate products, site flipping, straight from a mailing list only, etc.

    Good luck with your launch Guy G, I agree that this thread is inspiring.

    It's great to see how many folks can make very good income levels (my partner is among them) but I have taken a slightly different path, and I'm not earning at the same level. A lot of that comes down to my personal choice, I don't enjoy working in niches that I'm not passionate about.

    It's great to see true entrepreneurial spirit so widespread.

    While I can't say that I am making $1k a day yet I did buy a really great WSO from Nichemarketninja a while back and he claims to make a bit more than that all with Amazon affiliate sites.

    Here's a post where he tells a lot about what he does:

    http://www.warriorforum.com/adsense-...HviSOkSSNR4Jtd

    Anyway, the WSO is sold out I think but his system is really good - a LOT of work but it does work. I used to only make pennies from Amazon but now it is quickly becoming my main money stream. I only wish I had more time to make and promote the sites!

    I don't really think that this thread is rude, those who don't want to answer can simply ignore it.

    I don't know for sure what the motivation is for posting a thread, but I think it is to do with finding successful people to learn from if what I have taken from Suitej's post is correct?

    I think thats a cool and important process, but what I would say is, absolutely anyone can claim any income on a thread like this. Without proof, it means nothing. But it would be very easy for people to come in here and say: "I am making 30k net a month" and pitch them-self as an expert with little to no evidence of it. I don't say that has been done, or even that it will, but I think it is important to recognize the limitations of posting a question like this in a forum where lots of people market to each other.

    Anyway, you should trust me, because I am a millionaire. Anyway, I need to stop talking now, take my Bugatti veyron and go buy my motor-yacht.
    (Please note heavy sarcasm in above sentence).

    In all seriousness, I have met some scary people in IM and on forums like this who will say anything to make a buck or two. Keep an open mind, but also take things with a pinch of salt, just in case.

      I have to agree with this.

      In many cases $1k a day isn't anything to write home about, for some of the big guys $1k a day would be a disappointment.

    Boy Oh Boy!

    I've been away from WF for a few months and have to say I've noticed a change since I've come back.

    It seems to be very difficult to post a thread these days without someone posting negative or off topic stuff.

    C'mon guys - let's play nice together!

    So to answer the question...

    I work in an offline niche (and no I wont reveal it LOL). I have a membership site which I'm working my guts out on for a year. I visit B&M business and can walk away with a $600 cheque each time. I can visit up to 6 a day and on my best day collected 4 x $600 cheques in a day.

    It's really kewl - I get to travel all over Australia visiting the businesses in my niche, so am seeing a lot of the country while building my passive income.

    After a year of marketing to my niche I'll be able to sit back more and just handle support and traffic - so yes I guess at that stage it'll be a lot more passive - but wont be $1k a day - prob more like $10k /month (for this niche).

    The thought is to then develop another site for another niche and start it all again while the $$ keep rolling in from the original site.

      If I can give you one teensy bit of advice - that terrabye of WSO's - PICK ONE WSO.

      And I do mean ONE (preferably the best one - or the one that makes sense to you and feels like it takes you right thru a complete process) - and do NOTHING ELSE until you can say for certain that you've given it your very best shot - you give it all you can - you eat, sleep, breathe that one system - until it succeeds or you decide it just doesn't work.

      During this time you don't buy more WSO's, business in a box, latest greatest, get rich yesterday schemes, software, systems or sh*t. You don't read your emails and you don't spend more than one hour in forums at the very end of each day.

      Once you've decided if it works or not, then, and only then, you can go back to that terrabyte and pick another system to thoroughly explore - or if your system actually made you some moula - you go back and start that one system again and again and again.

      Hope you don't mind me adding my little rant there. I spent 2 years "researching" IM. If I stopped the "research" and just started I'd have made good money a lot sooner.

      Good luck

    And most often you will get dishonest replies.

    Isn't there anything more specific you want to ask?
    Hi Eric.

    I didn't ask the question, but I might as well have, because it's exactly the thing I'd like to hear more about as well.

    I'd like to take a moment as one of the newbs to address your questions and your concerns. First from the newb side...

    Who am I to ask such a question?

    I am somebody who wants to be inspired. To find direction in my nascent IM career. And to see whose work and life I would be best off modeling if I intend to be a big earner in this digital life myself.

    I don't want to be a timesuck on anyone's life, and assure you, I approach this learning process with humility and earnestness.

    Second, from the "expert" side...

    Why would I, as someone who has "made it," bother to stoop so low as to answer?

    I can't speak from experience in the IM world, but I can from experience in the offline world, where I once upon a time made a pretty nice living. In my field, there was never any shortage of eager, up-and-coming voices clamoring for inspiration and direction. And while I didn't always want to have to be the one to give it, I certainly didn't mind doing so once in a while. In fact, I took it upon myself as both a joy and an obligation. My chance to "give back," as it were. Talking about how I made it served both to make the world around me a better place, and to satisfy my all-too-human need for validation.

    I LIKED giving people a kick in the ass. I LIKED seeing someone bright and eager who was going off in the wrong direction through no real fault of his own, and setting him straight with a wink and an understanding pat on the back.

    For those who don't enjoy that process, hey, no problem! I respect your privacy and wish you continued success. But for those who do recognize that they have a chance to inspire, and feel a desire to do so, I offer heartfelt thanks in advance. Know that your time is not being wasted, nor are your words falling on deaf ears.

    And to you also, I wish continued success.

    Those of us who want to know mean no offense to anyone.

    Just my 2c.

      Yeah, I actually started this thread thinking there'd be Warriors who would love to share their basic story.

      I totally understand if someone doesn't want to answer, but I didn't think I'd offend anyone. Sheesh. Again, I think they're pretty generic questions. I didn't ask for secret niches or any kind of action plan.
      I've been making a living online since 1999, and to me it was just a businessperson asking his peers general questions about how they got to their level.

      I see this forum as a venue to help EACH OTHER and not only a place where I can "help newbies by selling them something".

      And for the people who imply that the pedestal is too high at $1k/day to help the people on the ground looking up at them:

      Anyone who thinks they can't learn something from someone else (regardless of their income level) is in dire need of a life lesson. That something may or may not be an Internet Marketing tactic, but even a dose of humility or a serving of humble pie can help you and your business in the long term.

      I totally agree. I was raised to be a polite gentleman. I don't ask a woman her age, and I wouldn't ask someone I had just met at a cocktail party what their annual income is.

      That being said, this is a forum where we talk about business and help each other improve our business. Would I PM someone here that I had never met before and say "hey, how much do you make after taxes?" lol. Of course not!

      However, I didn't directly ask anyone in particular how much they make. You were invited to participate by answering a few questions, but only if you made the choice to be part of the thread.

      With so many WSO signatures already claiming very high income publicly , I didn't expect anyone would take offense.

      Thanks Dennis, that's exactly what I was hoping for in the thread - and then a friendly discussion to commence about passive income.

      Judging by some of the comments, if I would have titled it $100/day instead of $1k/day, nobody would have been offended. lol

      So, should I stop asking questions on WF if I already make $100/day? (<--sarcasm)

      (Please note heavy sarcasm in above sentence).

      In all seriousness, I have met some scary people in IM and on forums like this who will say anything to make a buck or two. Keep an open mind, but also take things with a pinch of salt, just in case.
      The motivation behind the thread is the same as any other thread that isn't in one of the sales forums: help, guidance, tips, network with peers, etc.

      I don't think I asked anything that's going to change my business overnight if it was answered.

      Like I said throughout my replies, I used to have passive income and then sold the network and started from scratch in other areas. Now, I'm trying to regain it at a higher level than what it ever was and I was looking for a little inspiration, since many Warriors are doing what I do (or something similar).

      I would like to hope all people were genuine, but if someone came on the thread claiming they make $30/k and were lying, what would it matter? It's just a discussion based on general questions. Even if that person was trying to persuade other Warriors to buy something, I don't think that anyone would drop everything they're doing and hand over $$ because of one post without investigating that person and their claims (hopefully)

      It seems to be very difficult to post a thread these days without someone posting negative or off topic stuff.

      C'mon guys - let's play nice together!

      So to answer the question...

      I work in an offline niche (and no I wont reveal it LOL). I have a membership site which I'm working my guts out on for a year. I visit B&M business and can walk away with a $600 cheque each time. I can visit up to 6 a day and on my best day collected 4 x $600 cheques in a day.

      It's really kewl - I get to travel all over Australia visiting the businesses in my niche, so am seeing a lot of the country while building my passive income.

      After a year of marketing to my niche I'll be able to sit back more and just handle support and traffic - so yes I guess at that stage it'll be a lot more passive - but wont be $1k a day - prob more like $10k /month (for this niche).

      The thought is to then develop another site for another niche and start it all again while the $$ keep rolling in from the original site.
      Perfect example and great post! That answers my original post and in a very friendly, easy to read way. Wasn't that delightful?

      Now, by reading her answers, can anyone steal her niche? Did I just get away with some sneaky, underhanded method to get "secret information from the 'big dogs' without paying"? People need to relax a a little.

      Thank you!

    Hi SuiteJ,

    The reason why I mention it is two-fold.

    1. I accept that you are right, one or two posts by some one in this thread may not move some one to buy one of their products, but cumulatively, these kinds of posts over a period of time could build up a reputation of false credibility and have an impact/effect on newer folk. I really posted what I did for newer people as it is really easy to get taken in by exciting income claims etc. I don't doubt YOUR legitimacy and have no cause to disbelieve anyone else here, I just thought it would be helpful to throw in a little objectivity in there.

    2. The second reason I mention it was simply because, I personally believe that as a rule of thumb, some one who SAYS they make the money you speak of, will have less interesting stuff to say about the process than some one who ACTUALLY makes that money.

    I wasn't trying to be overly negative, and I support the spirit in which this thread was made.

    Hopefully some time in the close future I'll be answer in the affirmative to your original question in the OP, and provide the paypal/bank shots to prove it!

    I'm not sure if it's "passive." I was making well over that before school started last semester and it's dipped down to about $600-$700 per day gradually. But I didn't put any work into it for the entire semester so I guess you could consider it passive. I took this semester off so I could work on it more, so I'm hoping to multiply the $1k/day several times over by Fall. Oh - and don't ask me why I'm going to school - long story. Here goes though:

    1) A lot. I've learned hard lessons by having 1 income stream and so I now diversifying everything. I will never have 1 niche, 1 site, 1 product, etc. I have several adsense sites, several sites for the mere purpose of selling, several cpa/cb review sites.

    2) See above. Adsense, clickbank, CPA through several networks, and site flipping here and there make the bulk of my income.

    3) Built everything from the ground up.

    4) Several years. Most of my income has really exploded the last 1-2 years though, mostly from learning from my mistakes and failures.

    5) $10 in hosting. When I'm actively working (I guess it wouldn't be "passive" then), I will spend anywhere from $3000-$5000 per month in outsourcing.

    6) Very confident. The internet is not going anywhere.

    7) Sure, you buyin lunch? =)

    Yeah, I have made negative 1k (even more than that) till now.. Absolutely not in a day. I started IM a few months ago. Still on the Learning Curve.

    It's a dream to at least start off with 1k per month. Let alone, 1k per day.

    I do ... in my mind.

    7) Are you going to bill me for these answers? Yes

    You know what I'm working on and it's going to take me a long time. My non-passive projects keep getting in the way of my passive projects and I find that I have too little time to work on it all, but I'm plodding along with the goal of eventually making 1K a day in completely passive income.

    The reason most people don't (and never will) have passive income streams is because they don't want to do the 'boring,' unsexy stuff. They want new and exciting marketing ideas and techniques.

    People don't want to focus on the boring fundamentals.

    People don't want to set up an affiliate program and start looking for affiliates. (Affiliates that will bring in new customers and orders on autopilot.)

    People don't want to set up a backend system / solid autoresponder sequence that automatically sends out offers to upsell, upgrade, etc.

    People don't want to spend time on writing quality articles and then working on getting it positioned well, creating backlinks, etc. (They're more interested in taking one PLR article and spinning it into 100 different articles and then rolling the dice.)


    Most people want shortcuts, they want magic bullets, they want shiny new stuff.

    (I know some people who have spent their entire marketing careers trying to get a #1 listing on Google, often with nothing to show for it in the end. There are others who pollute the Internet with garbage, spinned articles and wonder why the traffic (and orders) stopped coming after the initial burst.)

    If your goal is to create residual or passive income streams, you often have to do some boring stuff. Stuff that most marketers don't want to be bothered with. (Mostly likely stuff that you've been reading about for the past 10 years.)

    The goal of $1000/day starts with making $1000 / month. (It's easier to focus on a monthly or weekly goal versus a daily goal.) Or heck, maybe just $100 per month. On autopilot. But, again, that's too boring for most of us. :-)

    Focus on creating systems. One step at a time. Start with solid fundamentals (strong foundation) so that you can keep building on it without it all crumbling down on you in the future.

    Start by creating one moneymaking site (or pick one of your existing sites that is converting) and add one thing to it each day that will eventually turn it into an automatic money machine, whether it's finding affiliates, creating backlinks/traffic, setting up an autoresponder series, or whatever.

    Hi,

    Hey listen don't be picking on jay that is just ridiculous and makes YOU look silly not him.
    jay is a very respected warrior and someone I am proud to call friend. he contributes a ton of help to this forum and has a reputation on here a lot of people could only dream of having.

    Jay is asking a question because he wants a specific answer obviously he is trying to figure out if some things maybe if he left his business for a little while would it be ok. making a thousand a day or 5 bucks a day makes no difference and I also venture to say anyone picking on him should really reconsider their words because people never forget if your a dork to someone else that could hurt YOUR business .

    I appreciate threads like this one where real people share how they make a lot money. The big gurus with their huge launches sound good, but that's way out of my league.

    I was excited to try Amazon for the first time at Christmas and make $46!

    I've got a long way to go to $1000 per day, but seeing people who are doing it is very motivating to me.

    All I have to say is one thing...

    Yep, all the passive income that I do have is a result of this excruciatingly boring stuff and it is just basic stuff that has been around for years. NO fancy tricks or things to get around the SE's. Just solid article writing and posting.

    I agree with all the positive people here, this is a great thread and I can see where Jay was going by posting it. Seriously, 99% of Warriors are here to help one another and that is why this forum stands head and shoulders above all others. Why wouldn't you ask such a question?

    My simple answer: Not Me!

    Something more constructive:

    $1k a day passive is not far away from my own personal target for residual income from internet marketing. It is most certainly acheivable!

    After many years of 'messing about' online, trying all manner of different tricks and such like, I have finally found focus and started to build my residual seriously. I think that is why so very many people fail at IM: becuase the spend to long 'messing about', going from one thing to another thing and never really finding focus in one thing. Truth be told, it is a simple matter of rinse and repeat..once you find something that works for you, and you are willing to put in the hard yards to get things off the ground!

    My first target, and this seems to be the magic number for most people on WF, is to hit that $100 a day mark. I currently, and regularly, am hitting 25% Most of my online income still comes from client work, and website flipping, but I have a firm goal to make 2010 the year for my niche sites. My residual income is comprised mostly of ePN and Amazon commissions (on WP based niche product sites), with the odd CJ sale going through from sites I have long since forgotten about. I don't make money with clickbank, or adsense, and never have. More recently I have been testing some sites with Chitika which is proving to be a real eye opener!

    Am I a guru, or a big dog? Hell no! I do however embrace the WF mentality and, in very much in the same way SuiteJ does, I put myself out there for others. There were people who stepped up to help me find my way and it is only fair that I do the same. IMHO

    I'm not killing it as such, but I am WAY ahead of so very many IM'ers inasmuch as I have found my focus. I have something that works for me and I am well on the way to building that residual income. Time is my only constraint in reaching the milestones that I have set myself.

    Hope that both answers your question fully, and helps others in some way. I also hope this thread stays positive...

    Cheers

    I guess the people who say it's not possible, simply don't believe that it's possible.

    And if you don't believe that it's possible, there's little point in even trying.

    I see it like a never ending circle for some people who never achieve their dreams simple because of they don't believe it's possible, despite huge volumes of evidence that proves it can be done.

    Real passive income, meaning if you took a 30 day vacation completely absent from anything to do with work, you would come back to $30k profit from that month?

    And I mean profit.

    Not like "Ya, I make $30k/month while I sleep - if you don't take my expenses into consideration, in which case I make about $3k/month)

    I mean you own 1 or more sites that pull in a combined profit of at least $1k/day by themselves on auto-pilot.

    If so:

    1) How many sites do you have that make up your total income?
    2) What methods are you using? (affiliate, products, memberships, etc.?)
    3) Did you invest in sites that were already making $$ or did you build it from the ground up?
    4) How long did it take to get to $1k/day consistently?
    5) What are your monthly costs?
    6) How confident are you in your $1k/day lasting the next 5 years?
    7) Are you going to bill me for these answers?

    Cheers
    Jay

    1) 7 sites

    2) well i shouldnt tell you. Products, lead generations, affiliates, large memberships sites.

    3) Built them from ground zero and from day 1.

    4) not there yet, but doing very very well. 3 or our sites make the most money back.

    5) I outsource 90% of my business, and that means I can work more on my business. I spend a few $1000 - $2000 a month.

    6) The internet is not going anywhere, well...ok...until we all die on DEC 21st this year, the end of the world. But if we are all dead, the internet will no longer be needed. I wrote out all my "goodbye cruel world" notes last night. So all is good.

    I think this is possible, we just need a solid plan and keep doing it.

    - find the business module that have less maintenance
    - the business module can repeat for an unlimited time
    - it will have a way to outsource or automate the task

    one more thing, you need to setup this goal and have strong desire to achieve this goal no matter what happen next.

    I am on the way to make it happen, my target is always USD30,000 passive income every month! (how do you know that?)

    Wow this thread has got interesting.
    I am making a passive income from several sources mostly from services that I outsource. I also make a decent passive income from both Adsense and Fiverr.
    I also have a recent WSO and a team of affiliates promoting it. I am making sales every day with it. I also sell hosting to buyers of my sites which brings in another stream of passive income.
    I believe that building up income from several sources is the best way to go. That way if one of the sources fails or the site closes for some reason then you still have other streams to keep you going.

  • One comment -- I think the people that are "making" $1k/day (let's say net), 'tend' to be operating it more like a 'business', as opposed to an individual...

    While it is possible to "do it all by yourself" and make that amount, I'd say it's a lot harder than if you had a team of ppl working with you (whether you hire them, or its with partners).
