Warrior Success Stories

One of the things that really inspire me and that actually helps me not

to quit and give up hope are other peoples success stories.

Lord knows times can be touph for the stuggling marketer, but sometimes

that little inspiration from other peoples success can push us over to the

other side of final success online.

      Cool, found you again after posting to your Paypal horror thread a couple of minutes back.

      And happy to hear that you have switched to a different one - maybe I missed it on that thread but which payment processor did you decide to go with?

      A few days ago paypal locked my account. So we switched to a merchant account...and you know EVERYONE pays with paypal these days. So it should be impossible to make money, right?

      Well, guess what...

      Just tonight my company did 7 thousand dollars in sales in 30 minutes.

      Seven thousand dollars...

      A few weeks ago we did 18 thousand in 30.

      And this month alone has been around 50k bucks.

      So, guess what...it IS possible to make money...all online. I do it every single day.

      Get a plan, stay focused, and work to achieve the prize. It is all possible.

    Hi,

    It is always inspiring to read about other people's success stories.

    And the next steps should be on implementation on what works for them
    and what may work for you.

    Action is still the missing key to many marketers wannabes. =)

    I agree with Rob..stay focused and work on your own plan to achieve your prize...

    Mhmm let's see, I haven't had a job in 3 years, my main income is IM, and I love internet marketing. That's it (I don't like bragging much as you can see)

    My "secret"? Is to don't burn yourself and just work 60 minutes block, even if do 60 minutes of IM a day it's still good.

    Also building websites + email list = passive income for the most part.

    That's true - nothing like a success story to
    remind you that "if they could do it, you can
    do it too",

    No, do not quit. That is why we are Warriors - people who win before they retire no matter how much fight is required.

    Warriors are always successful if they approach it with the positive mindset and focused outlook. Do that. Set focus and worrk on it. And you shall find yourself in a different walk of life altogether!

    You know, I think we should have a mega thread of all the success stories posted on the forums. Would make a fantastic, uplifting sticky.

    I wrote an inspirational biography back in 2003 that shares my
    welfare to mega-success story. PM me and I'll give you a PDF
    copy. Many people who have purchased it, read it from start
    to finish in one sitting, and tell me that it changed their lives.

    Being a retired soldier, NEVER giving up was just bred into me.
    When a soldier gives up, he often dies :-)

    People like to be told that Internet Marketing is easy. It is for
    a luck few, but for most of the people that I've been exposed to
    over the past 14 years online, success took a lot of struggle and
    hard work.

    It if were really easy, then everyone would quit their regular jobs
    and become internet marketers. At least that's what my
    economic classes on supply and demand and equilibrium theory
    teach me.

    Reading others success stories can spur you on!

    Rolling back the time machine... LOL

    When I got into the internet industry, I attempted everything. I built blogs, ringtone sites, and many other haphazard attempts. Most would get me a 12 pack at the end of the month, but after a year I started honing in on my niche. I learned what did not work, seen that I had a skill (programmer with php/mysql), and applied it to build unique sites.

    Slowly we added earnings month by month, and after a couple years I watched our first site blast past seven figures a year. As the years moved on we grew even bigger and then eventually started selling our site(s)/business(es) to a couple VC firms who now run them.

    Needless to say; I decided to follow my own path, not do what everyone else wanted me to do or told me to do. I learned from my mistakes, and I keep working improving things.

    Success is about painting your proverbial dice with "success" on each side as many times as you can. That way you have a higher chance at getting a win.

    Best of luck!

    PS. Websites/Businesses are like flowers, if you sell off all your flowers you will only have a garden full of weeds. Sell/drop your under performers and keep the best of breed.

    For those who ask for proof; here and here.

    Thanks Willie for sharing and thank you for derving our country and Happy Memorial Day. IN fact right now I am watching some of the torcher our vietnam veterans went through and wow talk about true warriors!. I will PM you for your story but I think I need 50 posts on here to do so.

    In my opinion success comes with achieving many small term goals that lead to one big long term goal. I personally have not made much money online yet, but I had a goal a achieving a number one ranking for a specific keyword seach in google and guess what in less than 10 days I achieved my goal!!! Honestly that was more exciting than making money because it was a specific goal I had online and I fulfilled it! My setback now is computer problems whick is my goal now to get fixed.

    Keep coming with those stories! You never know who you will help!

    By most people's measurement, my internet marketing efforts have not been very 'successful'. For a couple years I bought ebooks, Adsense, internet web hosting and sold little -- a Clickbank sale here, once in a while a Commission Junction sale, Amazon affiliate revenue that only once ever got as high as $20 in a month. My own product sales would barely cover fees.

    In the last year, I finally started making a profit. I have some older Squidoo lenses that climbed to the first page of Google search results. I have a couple products that I purchased resale rights to. The sales from these vary dramatically. I've had $15 months and $300 months even though the traffic is pretty constant from month to month.

    But, I view my time spent on internet marketing and this forum in particular as a success, because of the skills I've developed along the way.

    Nowadays everything that is sold (even if you are simply selling your own employment opportunities) benefits from, if it doesn't require, internet marketing. And understanding how it works -- the terms people search on, how to end up in the results for those searches, phrases that are good to use online is essential. It can make or break your future endeavors.

    I've realized that my true calling, in terms of my abilities and passion, is not pure internet marketing. But I will use my internet marketing skills, in my true passion, which if you are curious, is described here.

    P.S. That 'described here' link also contains what I look like today (but you'll have to watch the video until almost the end (only 2 minutes).

    It's really great to read other people's success stories. It is really very inspirational. Thank you to all these people who've been sharing their stories to other Warriors because they really give good tips and ideas to help out.
