I MADE MONEY MY FIRST DAY ONLINE!

77 replies
About a year ago my husband dabbled a bit with online moneymaking. and he actually did relatively well. But due to his rigourous study schedule to become a CPA he stopped.

A year later and due to circumstance I needed to stop working and so I took over his old warrior forum account changed the names and pictures and got started.

My husband told me I should take a gamble and start my first Warrior Special Offer, and offer article writing at $3 for a 500 word article.

Well not only did I pay for my Warrior special offer I also made an extra $50 over and above that. The first $30 was paid into my PayPal account within three hours of the thread being live.

Yes I know it's not much and I would have to work very hard writing all those articles. But it really just made me feel good to have started the process so quickly and you learn so much writing and researching articles and you get paid.

Hope some of you found that intersteing and maybe even helpful.

    Cool to see people having good experiences online. You see so many people complaining about the work required to make money online, but it's really no more work than there is in the "real world"

    Good Luck!

        I love the "you got money" emails from paypal :-) I started with article writing as well...I hated it but it was definitely a good way to get into the space. Once you get a taste of the online money making, it doesn't take long to figure out how to make a living working for yourself!

      • Hey Nash Congradulations on your research and article writing. I would have loved to see a signature below your post that takes me to a page to capture my email or blog to follow you further.

        I have noticed the consistent two successful traits of top marketers in that they are always building their email list and two giving out value like you have just given. I have a post on my blog - first link in signature called hijak a squeeze page that can show you how to set up your squeeze page for free and start building your list.

    I think thats a great lesson for people struggling to make any money online - and great motivation.

    Once you see the money coming in - no matter how little you may perceive it to be - its a great morale booster to see the cash come in.

    Well done - even if it's only $30 thats 100% more than most people who just procrastinate and buy eBooks! It's great when you see those emails from paypal. Even if it is for a small amount, it's great to know you can actually go online, put yourself out there and offer a service to people that will earn you some money.

          Its nice to see someone being positive. Writing articles can take time, but at least your at home and not having to travel. Your obviously enjoying it as well.
          I did think about offering this myself as a service. Trouble is, I think I am just too slow to make it profitable.

          Good luck and I hope your income keeps on growing.

              Look on this as a paid training period. You will get faster, you will get a reputation, you will get regular customers and you will be able to charge a proper rate for your services.

              It's so refreshing to have someone come here, decide what they want to do and get stuck in. So many people come here and simply ask "how can I make money online". No-one can tell them that. If they aren't prepared to do some background research and get stuck in and try something, they will never get anywhere.

              Good for you - onwards and upwards.

A lot of people are complaining why they are not making money online, but if you take a look they don't even taking the action.

    Well done.

    If you have invested in Dragon then you have taken one critically important step in speeding up. This software becomes ever more accurate as you train it and keep working. I trained my Dragon 9 for two years before I recently switched to Dragon 10. This is supposed to be so much better - we shall see.

    It really shouldn't take you long to get those rates up to a higher level than $3. People expect to pay more than that for top quality work delivered quickly.

    Don't forget that there is a demand for other types of written content as well, everything from reports and ebooks to press releases and autoresponder series. Marketers can never get enough content.

    If you haven't done so already, the first thing I would invest in is some cheap hosting and a domain so you can put up your own website. It really does help to create a better impression, and it allows people to find you who you didn't even know existed. I got a couple of good copywriting assignments last year from someone who just found my site by accident using keywords I had not even considered.

    If you really don't want to go down the paid route yet, you can always set up a simple site on free hosting, and a free Blogger blog. Paid is better, but you can build up to it.

    Welcome to the paid writers club.

    You are very fortunate for that, now just stick with it and take a look at what Andrew said about being all kinds of ways to expand on that strength!

              So glad i helped in some way, i really had no knowledge at all my husband did and he helped me get going.

              let me tell you there are alot of people on this forum who know more than my husband so anyone can start with some very good guidence.

            To me, the first best thing you did was to follow your husband's advice and take action. The next is to start this thread with a nice title. Kudos.

    Hey Nash,

    Congratulations on your early success.

    It's not uncommon to make $100 - $200 writing articles
    per day for others. I've done it countless times and, it
    helped me use the money as leverage to do other biz
    that didn't require me to do any service for money.

    It's possible to serve people and make alot of money with
    out spending alot of time on each project. This is leverage.

    Take your money, go in the WSO section and find a
    online project that will leverage yourself multiple times over.

    In other words, don't make the mistake of relying on this
    forum to support you.

    My husband told me I should take a gamble and start my first Warrior Special Offer, and offer article writing at $3 for a 500 word article.

    Well not only did I pay for my Warrior special offer I also made an extra $50 over and above that. The first $30 was paid into my PayPal account within three hours of the thread being live.

    Yes I know it's not much and I would have to work very hard writing all those articles. But it really just made me feel good to have started the process so quickly and you learn so much writing and researching articles and you get paid.

    Hope some of you found that intersteing and maybe even helpful.
    Congratulations, that's a great start but you can make a lot more per hour if you can write well.

    Regards,
    PCRoger.

    Congratulation! It really is very simple to make money online if you keep it simple. Most people waste a lot of time and money chasing get rich schemes when all they really need to do is do something simple like writing articles.

      Always good to see the PayPal notifications. I see you are getting great reviews here as well. Don't worry too much about speed in writing. That will come naturally, as you gain more and more clients.

      Your post is inspirational.

      The best advice I got when getting started was this. If you can provide a service, start a wso and start there. That was in January. I set up a cheap site on weeby and youtube and went to the races. I was shocked that I made $300 in my first month and it led to other clients every month since. The warrior forum basically saved me from being destitute. I was at my wits end and just needed a little bit of money to cover the unpaid bills and rent. This place is the best!

    Good job! If you do great research and writing, you should apply for some of the article creation sites. They pay you more than $3. You can find some steady work. Maybe also create your own business and gain clients too through Craigslist and other sites that list writing jobs.

    Congrats on your success. Article writing is the way I started a couple of years ago.

    But here is a little hint for you. You want to become a manager of your business and not a worker. And by that I mean grow your writing business by outsourcing the articles. Of course you will need to increase your own pricing, but as long as you provide good quality content you will be able to do that.

    Again congrats for making your 1st money online. And thanks for taking the time to post an encouraging thread.

    You know another way for you to monetize on this would be to build a blog and
