How the rich get rich...

35 replies
I met a millionaire the other day. I asked him ' How did you make all your money?'

He leans back and and takes a breath. 'Well, about 3 years ago I stumbled across a website giving advice on 'how to make money online'. I signed up to the webmaster's newsletter and each week he would send me an email with a different tip on how to make money online. Initially I didn't attempt them as I was new to the internet and was a little nervous about getting into internet marketing.

Eventually, after receiving about 6 months worth of emails from this guy, he sent me one about a course he had created that he claimed would help me make hundreds of dollars a week if I followed it correctly. I figured this was the start I needed. I paid $47, got the ebook and duely got to work on it.

It didn't reap the rewards he suggested it would, but after about 3 months of work, I'd happily doubled my money. I took that money and invested it into a video course I'd seen available. The information featured in this course was more comprehensive. I started applying all the knowledge I was learning and after about 9 months I'd managed to make about $1,000. I then took this $1,000 and reinvested it into advertising and hiring article writers. Another 6 months followed and I'd made about $3,000.

All the while, I'd seen a guru who was offering coaching, for a cost of a $3,000 and now I had the opportunity to take advantage. I invested all my earnings to date. I was not disappointed. After the year of coaching, I'd made about $10,000.

Then my wife's father died and he left us two million dollars.

    So the moral of the story is that I must find a partner that has grossly rich parents?

    ...better start bar hopping tonight!

      Just keep in mind that almost all of the older generations are trying to hang in there long enough for advances in the various sciences to enable them to effectively live forever!

              There is no such thing as 'get rich quick'. You can try, but all you'll do is go bankrupt real fast.

              What you need to join is the 'get rich slow' club.

    If the morale of the story is to marry somebody with rich parents, how do you drive traffic and get backlinks for this strategy? What exactly would you email list offer you?

    I admit, you caught me off guard with the ending. Is it suppose to be funny?? You posted in the wrong thread... there is an off topic thread here buddy....

    Anyhoo, let me tell you that I consider myself rich and no I don't have millions. It all depends on one's definition of being "rich".

    So to make a long story short, I started in IM just about 10 years ago now. Now, keep that in mind... That's right... 10 Years Ago! Boy did it ever take a long time, but look, I am successful and I quit my job, retired at 40 years old!

    It sure didn't progress along the lines of your millionaire guy. In fact, doing what he did, there is no way he would of became successful in real life. IM has nothing to do with gambling!

    In real life, it takes a boat load of knowledge to succeed!! Yes and a BIG boat!

    If it takes a million dollars to succeed, then I haven't yet. However, if it means having no debts whatsoever, and almost $184,200 in bank which I leave there for rainy days, then am I still rich and did I succeed in your opinion?

    Without going into all the details, It took me forever to reach this level of success "IF" it satisfies one's definition of success.

    Inheriting is "Not" success!! And I think most here will agree. Paris Hilton is nowhere near having succeeded!

    Anyway, I doubt you would of turned this into a joke if it had been a true story.
