What got you into IM? How did you find this forum?

Had a friend fall off the map, then one day located him and found out he was making great money 'Online'.

That started my journey. Has been a fun one so far. Have been a reader of Warrior for a while, just starting to get into participating. This has been hands down the best resource around!

In 1999 I was a defense contractor that sat in my cubicle all day surfing the web. I was constantly reading articles about the dot com boom and realized that was where I wanted to be. I took a few trips out to California, quit my job, and the rest was history.

I was single back then and didn't have too much responsibility, so failure wasn't something that was going to have a diverse effect on others. I failed again and again. Then, things started to click. By 2005, I was married with a little girl and my IM career was on fire.

Failure is a key ingredient to success. I realize that many of you do not have the freedom to just walk away from a good job, but that doesn't mean that you can't fail part time. Find your balance and let the failures happen as they may. Just be sure to learn something from each one.

I was a serious poker player for a while. I often heard at the tables how the successful players were so lucky. You could tell them a million times over that successful players create their own luck, but it just didn't register to a person that had it ingrained into their head that they would never be successful.

The same goes for business. Get out there and start creating your own luck.

Got into IM to make money, and create a business outside my dayjob, something that would be sustainable into the future. Found this forum through a number of internet marketers and gurus who have mentioned it and post on it.

A friend introduce IM to me for we both know that we want to earn money and have business on our own.

I always loved computers and was on the internet every chance I got, but taking my marketing efforts online wasn't a smooth ride for me.

I fell for every single scam ever invented, one by one they all caught me, but I kept on trying. I fell for the surveys, paid to click, paid to read, dodgy MLM companies, they all took their slice and gave nothing back. Ironically, offline I was doing great, but the future was clearly online.

Eventually a woman on twitter pointed me this way, probably out of sympathy, and I decided I would learn everything I possibly could before trying again.

I was just surfing around internet where I could offering my designing services and finally landed here

I am really happy with the offers and clients I have got here so far

I joined just over a month ago. A good friend of mine and business partner (I work as an affiliate for her online store), told me about the Warrior Forum. I took her advice and joined. In this very short span of time this forum has helped me so much! I recommend the Warrior Forum whole-heartedly to any website owner.

Love & Light

I got here by hearing stories of those get rick quick stuff. Never believed it is even possible to make any money. But once get started not stopped after that.

About 6 years ago, and oddly enough video games. I realize I could make money on runescape, and well couldn't stop from there.

Ashamed to say though, I've been talking on marketing forums for three years and only recently got active here (Was on a certain blackhat site first *woops*).

Definitely helps to be 'involved' in this WF community as some of the relationships you can build here are absolutely priceless.

After purchasing an ebook a few years ago I thought about how cheap it must be to make them. I wrote a little one on high blood pressure and sold it on eBay bor $4.95 and saw sales flowing in (this is back when eBay allowed digital sales in ebook form). I got hooked and stumbled upon this site through google shortly after.

You asked what got me into I.M. hold on to your boots.I will tell you that in my earlier life i got into some trouble and acquired myself a record.Well i paid my debt to society and came to know Jesus and became a new man.Well this world is an unforgiving and unforgetting place.I could not get a job anywhere .Came to be that my stepdad Ron Mahon who created INMRC.com gave me a chance, who would have guessed that i would love this and be pretty good at it.I have tons to learn about SEO but am willing to grow .

I wa actually on an entreprenur forum many many years ago....I believe it was Entrepreneur Magazine's forum. Anyways, I was researching how to shift from offline to online business and I saw a post on there that made a reference to Warrior Forum and then googled my way here!

The tipping point for me was this insufferable job I had as a manager several years ago. It was slowly driving me insane, and I knew I had to find a way out quickly, as I felt that I just wasn't cut out for employment at a regular job.

When I found IM, I spent practically every waking hour outside the office (and many hours while working too) learning about IM and implementing it. To make a long story short, I had started making a fairly significant amount of money from IM while still working, and because of that I put in my resignation notice after just a few months. I've never looked back since that fateful day.

I got into it because I'm a huge nerd. I stuck with it because I wanted to get good at it!

I got a spam email about a MMO product. It was cheap, so what the heck. Even though it was Forex based, it turned me on to the idea of making money online.

I started searching for other MMO products and came across one by a guru that will rename nameless during a launch. While the product was junk, it tuned me into IM. Shortly after I found the original IPK where I made my first bit of money.

From IPK, I heard of Tiffany Dow and from Tiffany Dow I heard of the Warrior Forum .

These are

AWESOME

Keep them coming guys.

A friend in college told me about the forum.

I'm into CS but stumbled into marketing.

Awesome question - Interesting replies.

I found the Warrior Forum years ago and just came in and looked around. I never really said much because I was soaking up information. I found it from Googling "internet marketing forums."

I got started in IM because I wanted to spread the word about some of the things I was doing.. movements I was creating and things of that type.

I've turned a very interested eye toward entrepreneurship over the past few years and I decided I wasn't cut out to sit in some beast of someone else's design (some crappy 9-5)

So I decided to take control of my mind, started doing things I fear and began to actually negotiate reality instead of just letting it happen.

Great thread!

I only joined a couple months ago, whenever there was a product that promised to make thousands of dollars overnight i would search for reviews and more often than not would stumble across a thread in the warrior forum saying how rubbish they were. So i thought these guys must know what there talking about lol

I'm on a mission to be a "nevertiree" digital nomad.

Living anywhere, as free as possible from government control, overblown and incompetent bureaucracies and onerous (waste of money!) tax regimes. Being in a position to earn money from anywhere in the world.

I found the Warrior Forum when trying to find honest reviews on all the flaky "get rich quick" proposals that flowed through my inbox.

I tried to make a sale in my offline job in telesales to a very nice lady, who just happened to mentioned she was into IM, i replied i also dabbled in IM and she asked me "why are you still working for an employer then", i replied because im not very good at it lol.

Well to cut a long story short, i left it a while and contacted her via facebook as we swapped facebook IDS in my sales call and she pointed me towards WF and still advises me today in my IM ventures and generally points me in the right direction all for free.

Just goes to show there really are some great people out there and most of them are in the WF.

I have been a member for some time, but only recently started participating.

I got into IM by Steve Pavlina recommending Site Build It. I worked on a SBI site for two years refusing to give up, but I finally did when I found out about a thing called Wordpress, which was free.

Somehow I got onto a mailing list from Ryan... something.

Anyways, he pointed me towards Wealthy Affiliate and I signed up for a trial they were dong.

How'd I get to the WF? A bunch of guys would talk about WF, so I joined it.

Quit WA soon after :-p

I've been a helicopter pilot for 20 years. I've been fortunate not to have any major malfunction during my career but a few close calls made me think that the grim reaper might be seeking up on my. It's hat gut feeling us pilots get and learn when to say no. We lost contracts where I worked and times got tough. Realizing my mortality and maybe I've used all my cards, I began working at IM. It's been increasingly successful, fun and I've been able to pass the knowledge on to friends. Not to be dramatic but it is conceivable that IM saved my life.
