Do any of you expect to become millionaires from IM?

wouldn't be doing it otherwise

Absolutely. It's on its way, just need to keep scaling and expanding.

The best advice I ever read was so simple, yet so hard to stick to:

1. Try a variety of methods until you find one that feels "right" to you, meaning you enjoy doing it (writing, niche site building, authority blog creation, etc).

2. Focus on reading everything possible about that method and apply what you learn to your start-up.

3. Do NOT be distracted by other methods, shiny objects that call to you like beautiful sirens from the rocks, or get-rich-quick products. Just continue pursuing your method.

4. Once that method makes a single dollar, delve down into the stats and figure out where that dollar came from, why it came at all, and determine what you'll need to do to make more dollars from that same source arrive in your wallet.

5. Scale upward using outsourcing, automation, and virtual assisstants.

That's really about it. If you can do that, there's no reason to believe you can't have a list with 200,000 people actively enjoying your emails, or reading your authority blog, or using your copywriting service, or whatever other method you stayed with.

Pick a method, become an expert in that method, and keep moving forward always. Never give up, never quit, and keep at it until you make it.

PERSISTENCE is the only word that matters in IM, eventually you can make it if you keep learning, keep applying what you've learned, and watch it all happening through stat tracking.

Not from IM only, but yes, I do eventually from all my projects together.

Yes, definitely. I envision to make 100K this year. And keep doubling up.

If you are expecting to make a million off of Internet marketing, you will be sadly disappointed.

There are two types of people in the world.

Those who dream, and those who do.

Just trying to make enough to replace a full time job

That's a dream to me.
Agree with pyro first. Firstly, trying to get enough to replace 1-2 full time jobs. Then eventually moving on to the "millionaire" status.

I think that is a very reasonable goal. I have set many goal posts and also passed many of them. It makes no difference of course, as you will always make new ones.

The trick is to always look for ways of expanding what you are doing, or using the profits from what you are doing to fund plans that have the potential to expand and grow. When those plans start to expand and grow, as they will sometimes, put people in charge of that growth and move on to start new things.

I originally set up plans that could be implemented with no money, but always planned for what I would do when I had enough to start the next plan, and so on, and so forth.

My plans extend to all the way up to emperor of earth, and if I don't achieve my goals, I'll be darn sure to have fun trying.

If you don't see yourself making a million dollars through internet marketing don't worry because you won't.

Do you have the passion and persistence to keep it up constantly tweaking your ad campaigns, etc to get to this point.

Do you have the drive to work EVERYDAY on your business?

These factors and many more determine success.

And to answer the question for this post.

YES I DO!

What about if your full-time job able to make you become a millionaire?

Will you join IM (with intention to replace your full-time job) to become a millionaire?

I certainly do, but it's a "flip of the switch" thing.

One day, I will be trundling along doing a comfortable but by no means huge income from IM.

The next, I will have a seven-figure bank balance.

That's not the way it works for everyone; a lot of people have a slow and steady increase in their income. I don't. The way I run my business, things happen FAST and they happen BIG.

If you look at the various gurus, this is the same pattern their businesses tend to follow. One day, they had a few thousand dollars; the next, they had a few million. And, as Frank Kern says, they don't get to keep ALL of it... but they get to keep some of it.

So there's no way to say how close I am. Right now, it might be years. On the other hand, it could happen next month. There's just no way to be sure. That's just the nature of this business.

Yes. My big goal is to grow my biz into a high volume, high profit producing internet/direct marketing company.

Right now I'm focusing on my starting point, but that is definitely what I plan to accomplish.

Absolutely possible. I'm going for that myself, but not focusing solely on affiliate marketing, my approach is more of a combination of techniques.

All I have to do is just try the best, try, try, and try, and work, work, and work. About result I give it to the God to take the rest.

The first million really is the hardest. It's totally possible.

The only limits are the ones you put on yourself.

My main creed in life is this and I live by every word. "Shoot for the moon, if you miss you will be among the stars" If you never see yourself succeeding you will not succeed. I could write a whole seminar on positive thinking and self visualization. Everyone told me once I would never have a Nissan 350z. About 3 months later I showed up driving it. I had applied myself gotten a great job and been doing this on the side. Boy were they impressed, I even opened some of their eyes to how much positive thinking can do for you in life.

Also my goal is $100,000 this year!

All I care about is FEELING like a millionaire, and I don't need a million dollars to do it. If you are truly doing what you love to do, then amounts like million dollars shouldn't matter unless you want to buy lots of materialistic stuff...

yes. Goes for any business you start as well

its a mindset thing

I already made way more than a million from my day job. For me, IM is a way to make that kind of money without having to get up at 5:45 every morning, endure a two hour commute, etc. etc.

Everyone wants to be rich but everyone should strive for being finically independent. That is FREEDOM.

I'm more interested in financial freedom and passive streams of income. This doesn't necessarily mean being rich - just well off.

However, I love working, and I'm not looking for an early retirement at all. I have plans to explore other things that have great profit potential.

By the way, a guy on the same affiliate network as me is making over half a million dollars per year. That's just from affiliate marketing alone.

It is definitely possible to be a millionaire with Internet marketing, but you truly have to grow with your business.

As I'm not very advanced, I don't think in millions yet. I do know I can expand my sites and live from it well though, and I'm working hard on it. Once I get enough income to be fully independent, I might take riskier steps that aim to millions.

Yes....
yes....
yes....
Why the hell not?

yes i do believe so.

I think it's the aim for anyone who ventures in IM, but it would be nice if they enjoyed and believed in the product/services, that said the success will truly be that much pleasant

Why aim for something so unattainable?

I'm sorry to burst bubbles here, and I know most will shoot me down, but when IM is renowned for being such a difficult process to even make a single dollar out of, those who dream of earning a million will inevitably fail. Why not set a sensible goal?

Maybe when you reach your first $500,000 you can comfortably think about your first million...

I expect to become a millionaire and I bust my ass every day to work towards that goal. Every day I am one step closer to it becoming a reality

Not all IM earn 7 digits numbers. Unless you manage them well and know the inside and outs about internet marketing.

As someone who's already made it, here's my advice: your first goal should not be to make your first million. Your first goal should be to generate a reasonably comfortable and stable monthly income ($2,000/month? $5,000/month? that's up to you to define "comfortable") so you can quit your day job and go full time.

Once you go full time, you can start dreaming bigger... But at any rate that should be your goal.

Sure, you can make not even a million but millions through internet marketing, all you need is persistence, to pull off such would take you too long and it becomes quite easy to give up along the way. It would be more advisable to Diversify.

I also wonder how but in this world nothing imposible

It's so amazing when I was reaching 1 million € and always, I always feel I can do anything that almost everybody can't dare to dream about.

Everybody including my parents said that I'm fool, I remember when they said to me "Don't dream like that because the real life shocked you and you will be so miserable" and all of the pessimistic and destroyed advices.

I did listen to them but I always believe in myself that I am able to achieve and believe deeply that Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit.

Set your goals high, and don't stop till you get there.

You may delay, but time will not.

The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.

There is only one success: to be able to spend your life in your own way, and not to give others absurd maddening claims upon it.

And whatever you do, DON'T become one of these types of pessimists.

They ALWAYS think that their failures are the result of other people faults.

They never seen the pattern of their own self-destructive behavior as they incorrectly assume that the reason things didn't work out for them must have been due to someone else.

What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate.

I'm planning now for 8 figures/year and why not 9 figures a year waaaaaw!!......

Good Luck all of you

this is an inspirational kind of thread huh?

I think we are all here because we want success. this usually means lots of sites and lots of automation for most people.

what I am really looking for is enough money to have freedom and a good retirement. I am in here hoping that some of the real millionaires choose to give up the one or two tips that make a real difference to my strategy.

Thats what I want.

Yes nothing is impossible. Gotta keep changing my perspective. People 300 years ago my age were in the army marching all day, fighting battles, risking their lives, having friends die, getting swords pierced through them. What am I doing? Come on, if I worked half as half, risked half as much as the average young man 300 years ago, I'd easily be a millionaire. Today's society is soft.

Making a decent living out of IM is my goal. Once I have reached that I will be happy to enjoy my hard work with my nearest and dearest

Living without money makes me realize how much I really don't care about being a millionaire. I care about being able to drive without worrying that my car is going to break down. I care about being able to go to the movies a few times without worrying if I'm going to have enough for gas. I worry about having the money to buy enough fruits and vegetables for my kid.

I don't need a million dollars to do that and I have no interest in a million dollars.

Do I think it's possible? Of course, everything is possible.

Hey Guys, Approach IM with a Positive Mindset and all can be achieved. Don't focus on the money but delivering quality Valuable content. Million is just a number, a milestone, just another Goal. Ive been in IM now for a few years and can say business couldn't be better. With a solid structure and Solid approach even making 10 Million is not hard either.

Just deliver Quality Content, Use the tried and tested marketing strategies that are out there and soon you will start to see the $$$ roll in.

If anyone needs any advice on anything feel free to hit me up.

Yes you can become a millionaire from IM!

I've done it once (2008 .. divorced .. lost half) and Im working on a second go around!

IMO, you have to have the following skill set:

1. Lots of real world business experience.
2. Sales and Marketing experience
3. Advanced Server Side Web Programming (must be almost an expert on PHP or ASP, etc)
4. Client side technologies (HTML, javascript, etc)
5. Database programming (Mysql, sql server)

Yes I'm expecting to have own 7 figure online business.

Good attitude, work on own ideas, outsourcing and build a lot of business friendships over the world.

Overall it's not about the money but freedom.

yes I expect to become a millionaire from this game. I don't know when that will happen but I am in it for the long haul. No Retreat No Serender.





Take The Bite Out Of The Coming Tax Increase

Yes, I do see myself making 7 figure from IM. If not, I wouldn't be here wasting my time. I've been doing Internet marketing for quite some time now and I see the potential. The only key to this is: Perseverance. Never expect to make money instantly because Internet marketing is not a get-rich-quick scheme. Some people just misunderstood the concept.

But one thing you need to remember is to keep your mind open and willing to learn something new because IM is a fast moving business and you need to be able to keep up.

For my own IM endeavors, I was just hoping to quit my day job and then use the money I got from IM to start a nonprofit or charity organization for under privileged people. That's always been my dream, but I definitely haven't thought about becoming a millionaire from just IM, however it is definitely an intriguing thought.

You know if you look in the wso section and look at all the offers claiming they can make you 100k in a year and how many say they can easily be outsourced...

You only need to pick one, make some cash then pick up 9 more systems that you can outsource and Walaa !

it's not that hard... Ya right !!!

IM is really where it's at right now. My father has been working very hard with the IM business and in 13 months, he has already built a 7 figure business. I'm almost 22 years old and have been in IM for about 4 months and i'm on the same path. If you have the right tools, mentors, and techniques you can literally become free of any financial problems within a year. Well, then again it really all depends on YOU and how badly you want it. If you do NOTHING, you get NOTHING. That's just how life works but honestly, anyone can benefit from the IM business with the right tools and the right attitude.
