This isnt a plea - I just figured Id ask.

I know every now and then members here post, "Just had my first $300 day...", which is always great.

Infact, Ive had $2,000+ days - BUT NOT CONSISTENTLY.

So....

Who here is HONESTLY making $500 a day or more CONSISTENTLY, on average.

Ive just calculated my daily average and its a bit disheartening to say the least.

Can someone, ANYONE show me that it really is possible to make over $500 a day CONSISTENTLY.

Id be very grateful to hear any suggestions, methods or even proof of earnings (controversial around here I know :rolleyes

Thanks!

  • Not me consistently.

    But yes I can produce the proof showing $2,500 days and $7,000 months ect.

    With website sales going up to $20,000 a month which is more than $500 a day.

    I am sure it is possible though like last year (sounds weird to say that) I went 2-3 months making $500+ a day if you average the month together. Then the cease and desist letter came and there went that.

    • Thanks for your input Aaron. May I ask, was this income generated passively - through digital sales? Or were you providing services/physical products?

    • LOL cease and desist.. classic!
  • Johnny, I don't personally, but you do have to spend money to make money. I don't know of anybody who earns $500+(regardless of what type of business they run) who doesn't invest their profits straight back into their business. You have to spend money and make money.

    A lot of people on this forum employ article marketing as their main business strategy, and needless to say, when you choose to play the SEO game and make your bottom line dependent on the whims of Google, earning that kind of money takes an extraordinary amount of time, dedication, and effort, with no real guarantee of success or ever reaching such financial heights even if you do make money.

    • You also need a return on investment. This is partly why Im asking.

      Ive just launched 5 sites, 5 new products and invested around $4,000 in the last few weeks. Its still early days, but the returns just arent there.

      Im not losing hope, just looking for a mental boost.

      Its a bit disheartening when Im making such an effort, and the returns just arent happening.

    • Absolutlely correct. I do $500+ a day, but most of that is invested into growing my online business. $500 a day and $500 profit a day are two very different things.

      But I also think that once you have developed a system, one goal should be to spend less money maintaining that system every month. If I have to keep spending money to keep a system going, I'm not making any profit from it so I don't see a point in continuing that system. Even with my PPC campaigns, I'm always tweaking and testing so I can spend less and profit more.
  • $500+ days consistently is absolutely possible, but honestly, the people that do it aren't going to come here and tell you how they are doing it.

    Anybody can post here saying they are doing $500+ a day, but without proof, can you honestly believe them? I'm doing $500+ daily, even my bad days are usually over $500. And I personally know people that are doing $1000+ a day. But am I going to tell you what I'm doing to make that much? No. Because I don't want more competition for myself. I will tell you that I'm doing a variety of things spread across a lot of niches.

    It is defnitely possible to do $500+ days consistently, but not without a lot of dedication. Building your business that big isn't going to happen overnight. You need to set goals and stay focused.

    • Dedication is NOT the issue. Im putting in 15 hour days here - 7 days a week. And dont think Im sitting here dibble dabbling youtube and facebook all day.

      I have money, thats not an issue, I have plenty of time (I do this full time) I just want reassurance from SOMEONE that Im not wasting my time.

      Ive been at this for 2 years solid now, and while I appreciate everyones feedback - Im not asking for anyone to say "Hey, heres exactly what I do.." Im not asking that. Id just appreciate some proof of earnings, something...anything that shows me legitimately - $500+ days.

      Perhaps Im just dreaming? Who knows. Maybe I am, its late here and Im tired.

    • Well first, you say nobody is going to come here who actually does make over $500 a day consistently and tell you that...supposedly you did.

      Second...Why won't you tell us what you are doing to make that? How come? Just because you might have some competition shouldn't stop you. Not to mention, not everyone here in the WF is working the same niche market as you are.

      This forum is here to help each other, and why post what you did if you aren't willing to help? Nobody wants to see someone just "tooting their own horn" here like your post on this thread. Just some food for thought.
  • I make 100 a day, also not constantly but I do have those good days, I guess this is how this business or any other work, which is why I am one of those people who has money saved up just for business for those rainy days because you never know...

    • Just one of my little Wordpress websites alone makes me $300/day (£200/day) on autopilot in a UK market.

      The product I created sells for $15, and an average of 20 people a day buy the "solution" I provide through Clickbank.

      The refund rate is 1.2%. I have zero affiliates, there is no backend whatsoever and it is a one time solution, to a one time problem.

      In the bigger scheme of things I'm a nobody, one of the advertisers on the CPA networks is making $77 million/month.

      Almost all profit, his costs are around $400,000 a month for customer support etc

      Which leaves him with $76,600,000/month which works out to over $2,500,000/day (5,000 times more than what you thought might not be possible)

      The problem is, too many people are looking for get rich quick schemes and want to make money starting tomorrow with a 15 minute set-up, it isn't reality most of the time.

      I've posted it many times before, but one of the biggest differences between success and failure is selling stuff people want to buy.

      A quick look at the websites in your signature links, and it is obvious to me why you are not seeing the returns you desire.

      Regarding the right products/services to sell ...

      The best advice I've ever seen on this is here ...

      GURU BluePrint Blog » Blog Archive » How To Identify And Target Highly Profitable Information Niches Online

      ... the video is free, and if you truly understand the concepts here, you'll have no problem creating or promoting stuff which sells easily and in decent numbers.

      Eben Pagan does $20 million/year from his dating advice business alone, and even though this video on his blog is free you won't find much out there which explains things better.

  • $500per day=$15,000per month=$183,000per year!
    It's achievable, I don't make that amount yet but with a basic plan and a get-it-done mentality, you can certainly attain it. If you have 250 niche blogs making $2 per day through adsense, or cpa offers, amazon products or any of the methods out there, then making that much is attainable and the sky is truely the limit!
  • Am I making a consistent $500 a day? No sir...

    I did however made a consistent $340 a day all last month
  • I don't and I don't know anyone who does, but I know for sure it's possible - Especially if you rank for a competitive keyword. It's a simple math game, no?

    Traffic x Conversion % = X amount of sales x payout per sale = ____/day

    $500/day is 16 sales/day at $30 per sale.
    With 1% conversion that's 1,600 unique visitors per day.
    Not impossible, but very far away from easy...

    It's obviously hard to do, and a lot of people are exaggerating the simplicity of it....

  • I'm sure it's very possible.

    Realistically achievable for your average person? That's a bit more doubtful.

    I guess what you have to decide is, are you "your average person?"

    And only YOU get to decide that. Nobody else.

    Also, do you need $500 a day? On what basis have you set this figure, and why is it important to you? It's a serious question. Couldn't hurt to think about it.
  • Ramone_Johnny, you obviously know how to earn money online and large amounts in one day so you problem isn't earning the money. You say you've been doing this 2 years solid 7 days a week putting serious hours. why not take a break and clear your head. Something may be staring at you right in the face already but becasue your doing crazy hours you just haven't seen it.
  • I haven't yet...in fact I haven't made it to $1 a day consistently yet lol
  • [DELETED]
  • I just wanted to thank everyone who has contributed towards this thread, especially those sharing their earnings. I really appreciate it, as Im sure many others do.

    Theres so much to go over here, Ill be disgesting over the next hour or so.

    Thanks again.

    • Hi Ramone, sorry I'm late to the party.

      THE most important thing is what someone else said above -- you need to build a business based on a sustainable model.

      You should look into continuity business models -- they pay you multiple times for work you do once, and keep paying you month after month, so you don't have to spend (as much of) your time chasing up new customers. Just keep your existing customers happy and well fed with valuable content and they'll keep paying. Additionally, as they say, its much easier to sell to people that already bought from you than to new customers.

      All in all a list of clients paying recurring fees is the way to go. I'm making the bulk of my IM income that way.

  • I can say that my SEO and marketing efforts have averaged $2k+/day in sales for the last 90 days straight. I will not lie and say that that was all profit or even close to all profit though, and I will say that it was split between myself and several other people. As is true with most companies that make larger amounts of money, there are also smaller profit margins! But hopefully this shows that there are sites making good money day after day. The key is dominating that perfect niche

      Just a few comments on this topic.....

      1) I make, on average, over $500 day with my sites. The niches are all complete, 100%, unrelated to IM....they aren't even CPA-heavy. I take a different approach from a lot of the advice here. I try and build useful sites around profitable niches. Useful sites means higher conversions, direct ads (highly underrated), and more stick-i-ness.

      2) This is my experience and based on what I've seen. I am involved in forums related to other niches I'm in. And it's interesting cause the big hitters are always involved, but on an extremely small scale. Same goes for here to some extent. I know some INSANELY skilled marketers that are making $1K per day. They post here on the WF on occasion. But what's funny is that their advice is pretty much ignored because of their post count (and lack of sig file). Lots of good advice goes totally unnoticed here.

      3) The biggest mistake I see is people that TOTALLY miss the boat on picking niches. I get the allure of going after the dating, mobile phone, credit card offers. But seriously....SERIOUSLY...you're not looking at it from an ROI perspective. There is more money in those niches, but you need to find the sweet spot. Not too small, not too big, not TOO profitable.

      4) My personal experience. I like to sell physical products. And the best formula, for me, is the following. I like niches that are pretty narrow...so you're dealign with smaller sets of keywords and limited products..preferably ones without a name-brand. Those niches end up converting WAY higher cause people are searching with a purpose.

  • How do you know he makes so much? What is his name? With such income he would probably be on Forbes or something.
  • I'd say I'm way behind that figure right now but have a consistent 80USD/day. But I do have a plan and working on it and believe that figure is achievable in my scheme of things. I provide educational service so its a different ball game but rules are still the same...
  • At my peak I did over $1000 average a day consistently selling physical products. Annual income for that year was $500k and much of it was reinvested. I was only working part time to do it.

    I made some mistakes in outsourcing certain tasks (advertising) and I sort of rested on my laurels, so business fell off.

    I still average over $500 a day and know what I did wrong so I'm confident that I'll get back to where I was and better.

    Don't be afraid to think outside the box. If something isn't working then try something else. Get good solid advice from people who know what they're talking about.

    People who know what they're talking about usually aren't afraid to give some great free advice. they don't give away everything for free but they'll give you a little good solid advice that works. They do this because they know the value in gaining trust and then will sell you their product once they have your trust.

    Don't be afraid to pay someone for a product once you trust them because the paid products from someone that has gained your trust are usually worth the cash.
  • I don't have any consistent days and have never had in my 8 plus years
    of doing this.

    I had zero dollar days and I have $3,000 days.

    When I figure out the secret to consistently earn the same amount every
    single day, I'll write a book on how I do it.

    But don't hold your breath.
  • That can be a little bit difficult, but sincerely if there is a system like that, I will not mind to buy it at any rate.

    • I average quite a bit more than $500 a day. I'm surprised at some of the people that said they are not making that much that I really thought were easily making that much. I am aiming for more like $5000 a day short term and I don't feel like that is out of the question at all.

      I have several Clickbank products. All evergreen niches.

      I search CB Engine for niches.
      Look for niches that have several products with decent gravity.
      Check Google keyword tool to see what kind of search volume the keywords in the niche are doing.
      Check Google to see what the competition is like on the first page for the keywords I have chosen.

      If I feel like I can compete with the other sites for ranking and feel like I can compete with the quality of the sites and products on Clickbank I:


      1. Buy a domain with the number one Keyword I will be competing for in it then I add on a word because the keyword I go for is usually the highest search volume "BUYING" keyword in the niche so it will definitely not be available as a domain.

      2. Have the graphics made header, footer, strip, ebook, banners THAT's IT. Any other graphics like Add to Cart buttons, Checks, etc. I have a file I use. Warrior Forum

      3. Have the product made, I usually aim for around a 30-50 page ebook. It really depends on what the competition's product is like. Warrior Forum

      4. Have the sales letter written. I aim for around 2000 words. I use inexpensive copywriters to get the ball rolling and edit the work myself. As long as I get at least 2% conversions I am very happy. Warrior Forum

      5. Have the affiliate tools made. Banners, Reviews, Etc. Warrior Forum

      6. Format the sales letter, add the extra touches, and do on page SEO.

      7. Open a BRAND NEW Clickbank account for each product.

      8. Submit the product for approval.

      9. Have a press release written and submitted to several sources.

      10. Start building a TON of backlinks

      Then I repeat for a new niche. The only thing I do for the old sites is continue to build backlinks to keep the ranks up.

      I have one system.

      Find a Niche
      Outsource all creation of product and website
      Promote
      Find a new Niche and repeat

      All sales come from search engines and affiliates.

      EVERYTHING is outsourced to Warrior Forum members. I have used Elance and similar places and I highly prefer and recommend using Warrior Forum members because of both price and quality.

      I have never and do not currently:

      Do affiliate marketing
      Do PPC or any paid advertising
      Write or outsource articles
      Build list
      DO any upsells or downsells
      Do CPA
      Do offline marketing
      Do Adsense
      or anything else

      Even though I outsource a lot of stuff I still work on this 12-16 hours a day. Anyway that's what I do.

    • It's no problem John, I think everyone has room for improvement. I'm personally trying to improve my work ethic this year, doubt I'll be able to work 15 hours a day like you do though

      I think others have made some great replies also, especially Dave Rodman.

      Glad you found it useful Holly, I've watched the video about 20 times myself, as a constant reminder so I don't waste time promoting products/services which have little chance of success.

      I'll hold you to the VO offer, don't worry I won't give you a 400 page script to read.

      Should only be about 100 pages (I'm joking, of course)
  • What a great thread! I have thoroughly enjoyed reading about other people's experiences - thank you to all who have posted above. So, I guess it's time for me to evaluate where I am. I am making a consistent 5 figure income entirely passively. I know that may seem inconceivable for many people here; I also know that for others, this is just pin-money.

    The fact is that the world, genuinely, is our oyster here. When I started, I would have loved to be where I am right now, but the thing I have come to realise is that moving forward, at least for me, is NOT about doing what you do now over and over - the old 'rinse and repeat' mantra; it is about breaking through to a different level of thinking.

    For sure, the OP's question about the possibility of achieving $500 per day passively - actually he said 'consistently' - is entirely possible I believe. Am I there yet? No. But, if I map the growth in my business over the past 5 years, I can confidently project that I will get there within the next 2 years.

    My plan is to give-up my day job in May of this year when I will finally have achieved my initial goal of generating a sustainable online income. After that, I will continue to apply what I have learned to grow my income beyond what I ever thought was initially possible.

    For those just starting out: you need to have belief, mainly. Because belief is the starting point for the necessary effort, hard work, persistence and deep-down doggedness that will eventually get you there.

  • 5 niche sites which each make $100 a day?
    10 niche sites which each make $50 a day?

    Not that I'm doing that, but sounds plausible to me
