Beginner's luck? $5,000/month with my first info-product

Agreed! Congrats on the job well done. It's beginner's hard work, not beginner's luck.

Except the 3 hours no experience part...check exhibit A below

Now I can go to the beach and chase women for the rest of the month. Ah, this is hard work don't you agree garraye?

Oh, I have a feeling there will be a wso based on his "journal" soon. :rolleyes:

Actually, there's nothing stopping you from doing it right now.

However if you want to provide some value or get some credibility, give some details about how you do it. Otherwise all you're left with is a 'bragging' post.

It's great the original poster is inspiring people, but take the stats with a grain of salt.

The 5k stated in the title says per month, the 1491 sales mention within 60 days.

So do the math and you can guess the product is probably a 7$ report.

Those stats are still impressive for a new site on which the whole traffic-driving strategies have been left out of the OP...

Daniel,

I am not sure what your post is supposed to reveal about it not being true, I had my doubts, but that thread you linked to makes me more likely to believe that it is true based on some of the things he says about how it all got started.

More or less, a blog post goes viral, then add a opt in to build a list and add a backend report/product. It all makes sense.

I'd have to agree. And what's interesting is that if you look at his previous posts, they fall in a logical sequence as opposed to the scattered subjects of most newbies who jump from project to project.

He first started asking about success, then optin forms, then order fullfilment, wordpress and landing page, writing an ebook, guarantees, social tools, managing client relationships, and then something about how to find a good copywriter.

Aside from the copywriter question, it looks to me like perhaps the first beginner that got into IM, started working on a project, and then stuck with that one all the way to the end. That's an over-exaggeration, of course, and who knows, it might be a lead-in to a WSO, but I think it's a little shortsighted to just start heckling the guy so quickly and calling him a liar.

As for him not responding, I probably wouldn't bother posting here if people had that attitude towards me either, especially if I was having success by burying my head somewhere else and just staying busy.

As pointed out above: "I decided to put the things I've learned to the test, and move forward by asking questions that I actually need answers for, instead of drowning into the unlimited number of great programs out there"---by his posts it looks like that's pretty much what he's been doing.

Sounds like a pretty solid way to go about things.

That's very impressive and definitely not luck but hard work. And you made the site yourself? and how did you know you needed to keep testing and improving your landing pages - 29 times too you say. Even top seasoned marketers giveup/stop optimizing landers after 3-6 tries after the campaign/conversion rates look good.
