A little motivation for newbies and all:

How Many Warriors Have Made Over a Million Dollars in IM?

I can think of about 14. I'm sure there are more. How far off am I?

      100k is also an impressive figure my dear friend. Will you please tell us what is the composition of your earnings. Like how many through Adsense, Kontera or Commission Junction as well.

    umm, over a million in NET cash? or GROSS sales?
    In both cases, I don't qualify

    I'm my own boss, and making very decent monthly income...
    it feels good to reach my "achievable" targets.

    But $million/year? hmm... that's nearly $80K per month...
    may be in the next milestone

    Hi,

    I sure hope I can make another $1,000,000 again next year. I hoped that last year and the year before. Didn't happen so I'm hoping again.

    I'm actually working on my third million. I've given up on the first and second.

    smarte,

    I've made 100k using a blackhat method I created for myspace. I am no longer using the method because I want to focus on building long term income and teaching others.

    No, it is not adsense. I use cpa offers.

    I've done right at a half-million in overall earnings/income in my IM career. About $425K of that is net since one of my income streams was a membership site where I paid out affiliates.

    I'll get to a million before I'm done. In fact, I'm just getting started.

        Thanks, but it's really not that hard. I simply 'skipped' the mistake most newbies and beginners make, which is lack of focus.

        It's all about grabbing something that works and sticking to it, plus working your ass off at it (at least at the beginning).

          I couldn't agree more. Focus is the main ingredient to making $1MM or more. Sticking with a concept and not letting anyone deter you will get you to that goal. But there are many temptations along the way. The working your ass off is key. Be relentless in making sure you are doing everything to maximize every hour of your day and every relationship you make.

            kiev and Jim, shoot me a PM, I would LOVE to give you guys a few tips to get started. You both have the mentality needed to be succesful online.

            No need for more yada yada yada yada yada

            IN fact, I am barely 21 years old, that's right, I'm a kid who has been in IM for 4 months and already raking in 6 figures.

            kiev and Jim, let's talk.

              Well for a start many of the marketers that are seminar speakers are in that bracket.

              Then theres all the rest and all the main Im folks come here. So i'd say the number is alot larger than you guys may think.

                  Yes - he is a top guy helping others no doubt.

                  It is ironic because I suspect there are many millionaires lurking around here with low post counts or obscured names ...

                      What would it take to get more of the non-ebook selling mega millionaires to participate regularly?

                      Every post you see these days seems to be about article writing to sell some else's ebook.

                        An act of God.

                        Most of them aren't going to. For many reasons. I'll list a few.

                        1. They get bashed a lot. Anyone in the 'spotlight' does.

                        2. Anything they do is held up in the open light for all to see. There are some marketers who would love nothing more than ALL forums to vanish off the face of the earth. Leaving nothing but them and their lists and no one with a voice to make a legitimate compliant or criticism. Everything stays 'in the dark' in other words.

                        3. They simply don't have the time.

                        4. They may not be at all sociable. Many people simply don't like talking in a forum, chat room or anything else.

                        5. They feel it somehow 'lowers' them. There are quite a few pathetic shit weasels (love ya Gary) infected with this one. These are only pretending to feel this way, when the real reason is usually number 2 above.

                        Those pretty much cover it...

                        To become one yourself.

                        But I agree it'd be cool to see something besides the article marketing and EZA stuff here.

      $1 million in a year is amazing, but is there more than one person that had cracked the $1 million dollar per DAY mark? (24 hours total) I seem to remember John Reese doing that for his original traffic secrets, but just wondered if anyone has been able to do it since then.

        Well, if you are referring to the internet in general, there are people cracking the million-dollar-per-day mark every single day. If you're referring to the internet marketing niche, then Stompernet, Pipeline Profits, Frank Kern etc.

        In Jim Edwards' and Joe Vitale's book "How to write an eBook in 7 days", they mention that Stephen King published a new novel of his as an eBook for $2.50. It took him just a few days to sell 400,000 copies, ringing up the old $1 million in less than a week:

    Out of the more than 250 top internet brains coming on the big Marketers Mastermind Cruise, I can count more than 14 who do over a million per year, including ME. Just look at the VIP guest list. (But MY number is gross sales, not net).

    It's taken ME eight years to become an overnight success.

      I haven't been keeping a spreadsheet of my earnings, but I just checked my "all time" google adwords amounts, and I've just gone over the $437,000 dollar mark - that's for over 3 million clicks. And I've been doing it for several years before having an adwords account. So I'm sure I've hit the million dollar mark. However, I've been doing IM for years.

      Not to hijack this thread - but here's another question. Are there any Google fridge recipients in here? At 1 million clicks, google adwords will send you a mini-refrigerator. Yes - I bought someone there at Google a mansion, so that I could keep a few beverages cold.

        I have heard of them giving a fridge away before...I didnt know if it was real or not though. I thought it was just a rumor. Funny thing is, I work for a company that works for Google and worked inside the building for a while....they have a few of those fridges in their break rooms....full size not the mini ones. And believe it or not most of the Googlers do not live in mansions....you make more in IM than most of them

    There's a difference between earning and receiving income! I've delivered more than a million dollars worth of value to people. Have I received what I've earned? NOPE!

    I like George Wright's observation:
    I'm actually working on my third million. I've given up on the first and second.

    I'm not sure how much difference this makes. Most people with a normal job will earn a million dollars in their working life - it's about how much you keep, rather than how much you earn.

    My first $100k went on paying off debts, so I never started making money until after that.

    I am motivated to build a million dollar IM by reading the posts, I am feeling there is a huge potential for anyone who is willing to apply the proper methods, but there are lot of programs which do not help you earn though they all say you can earn in millions in 60 days, 90 days etc

    When someone who has done it gives advice to someone on this forum and 20 people who are complete newbs give advice and make a post about what an expert they are it kind of drowns out the real advice that was valuable.

    Most people won't even take your advice unless you toot your own horn about how much money you've made.

    I find my self wanting to post less each day almost reducing my advice to congrats and keep going and don't give up type post because you got newbie marketers in here touting big dollar signs to other newbies. It isn't the newbies fought as they can't tell good info from bad.

    Really destroys any real value of posting and trying to help.

    I use to try and help people more than I do now but what I found is most almost all people don't take advice and implement it. I would say maybe 1 in 500 people that you give your all to would go out and do the steps needed to succeed.

    What I discovered is the people who would take your advice and go on and succeed with it, will end of successful whether you help them or not.

    There is enough advice in the archives of this forum and for free on the web that there is really no point in making new posts. I believe these type forums after a certain point actually hurt the new marketers because they think that tomorrows post will bring the secrets that they desire.

    When the truth is everything you need is in the archives. If you read them and don't get it the asking for more advice is just grasping.

      I agree Terry. And to make matters worse, the people who post the same stuff everyday have huge fan clubs of newbie supporters and groupies that will defend any opposing opinion.

      That also explains why the less popular millionaires prefer to stay in the background.

      There's some truth there. But we keep on keeping on because of that 'one' in 500 that does listen and does act. That 'one' is all I've ever worked for...
