[Encouragement for Newbies] Thank you WF for helping me make more than $4000 in this MONTH.

I think posts like these are useless if you do not even give some strategies or more of what you did and how you did it. It's almost like telling someone that they can be a successful actor in Hollywood and not giving ANY advice or details. Why even post this?

Thanks

Giving that someone your agent's phone number can result in YOU getting fired because they found someone better leaving you nowhere. Why should he leak his methods?

He shouldn't I agree. However when you have a look at the post it rings alarm bells for me.

Of course this is my personal opinion and he may well be making $100 a day.

However these points stand out:

the URL of the money shot - $100 a day and no hosting yet?

It is his VERY first post - surely he/she would have posted before in a thread where one of these "methods" were mentioned that he/she is using?

Too shy?

Well not shy enough to make these first post telling the WF how much they are making.

"Now I'm not going to tell you how I did it or what I do, but I want to tell you that I'm a full time college student, in my first year of college right now. And I don't work more than 30-40 minutes a day.

I've started as a complete noob back in December and I started learning, buying courses, taking action seriously only from February."

Again started back in December and starting taking action in February working 30-40 mins a day...

"So internet marketing works if you put your time and input in it."

Yes imagine how much you could make if you put 2 hours in a day?

I'm sorry to dissect this post and apologize if the OP is doing well I wish them all the best but I think this is simply bait for a WSO nothing more...

THIS is misleading to newbies as most people know how easy it is to modify a screenshot.

Chris

There must be a lot of alarm bells ringing then.
There's a new "story" like that posted almost everyday.
It's the "in thing" at the moment.

I hear you!

Has always been the "in thing" people making wild claims of earnings and then charging people to show them how it is done.

I will keep my mouth shut but I think I know where this is heading.

Good luck OP and if you are a newbie - PLEASE take everything with a pinch of salt.

I have been self employed for 5 years working online and work a little bit more than 30 mins a day...

Now where did I put those screenshots? :p

the URL of the money shot - $100 a day and no hosting yet?

If he doesn't want anyone to know how he's done it or who he is, why would he link to his own site?

I'm not expressing any opinions on this otherwise, mind you. (I am not yet as cynical as some. ) My point is just to show how someone can link things in their minds based on pre-formed conclusions, and then stop looking for other possible answers. Even obvious ones like "because he wants to stay unknown."

Hi Chris, I hear ya too and I recommend cautions too.

I do have many websites and of course I have a hosting too, lol.

But yeah most websites are affiliate sites that send me the cash by checks and not by Paypal.

Don't worry, no WSOs coming out, nor I'm charging anyone to show anything. (Bear in mind that I'm really making that cash these days, no need to go hunting down the newbie newbies, lol).

And no, the paypal screenshot is not faked, I know there are lots of fakes out there, especially with those CB screenshots, but I can swear on my head that's it's my own screenshot that I took about 1 hour ago.

Well again I'm not going to share with anyone how I'm making the money precisely because that would be ruining my own business.

But yeah a good income online is affiliate marketing with Clickbank or Amazon too (so newbies looking for ways of making money CB or Amazon is a good start as well

).

But again these 2 big boys don't pay by Paypal so the payments in my screenshots are not coming from CB or Amazon although I make some good cash doing affiliate marketing as well

.

The point of my message was supposed to be this "Keep taking action, do whatever you think it's right, keep knocking, and you will be making the money". End of story.

It took me some time for me too to start earning something at the beginning, but I'm sure everyone with an IQ of over 50 will be able to start making some money if they keep knocking at it.

Because Chris, you might not be a newbie, but when I was a newbie I had weeks when I was starting to think if the whole IM thingy was a scam.

And I'm sure there are other newbies out there today who have the same fear.

Now my focus was to tell them that it works so just keep going.

All the best,

Unnamed Stranger

Thanks

While I agree that it does seem kind of pointless to post this without any other information relating to the "how" of the whole thing, that isn't completely true.

I'm a newbie and I do like seeing it's possible, silly as it sounds. So it's not completely "useless".

Okay so the screenshot proof of my income is at the below URL:
i1183.photobucket(dot)com/albums/x480/unnamedstr/myincome.jpg
REPLACE the (dot) with .

Note the payments.... I have made $100+ per day very easily.

Now I'm not going to tell you how I did it or what I do, but I want to tell you that I'm a full time college student, in my first year of college right now. And I don't work more than 30-40 minutes a day.

I've started as a complete noob back in December and I started learning, buying courses, taking action seriously only from February.

My revenue in the month of May is about $4000. Not bad for working 30-40 minutes a day.

So internet marketing works if you put your time and input in it.

So those of you who are thinking of quitting just don't. This is the easiest way to make some easy legit cash.

I have managed to reach this level in less than 5 months starting from 0 with about $200 for starters.

If I've done it (21 years old college boy), then you can do it for sure.

Thank you WF, and good luck everyone.

Unnamed Stranger

Congrats on your success if indeed this is the case.

Not saying that you have not achieved the above but this is your first post and you have been browsing and implementing the ideas that you have learnt here in the WF for 5 months right?

What do they involve?

Article marketing, PPC, Web 2.0 sites, your own products or someone else's OR let me guess...

All will be revealed in an awesome WSO you have got planned?

Glad you are doing well if this is the case but as someone else said above just saying "Thank you Warriors - I make $60,0000 in a week but am not going to tell you how I did it" is not much good to anyone.

Wish you the best of luck...

Chris

Thanks

Hi unnamed stranger,

Since even your name is disguised I guess it's not surprising you're not sharing how you're making your money.

But can you see that for a newbie reading this all they're really going to get is "I'm making money and not going to tell you how, so keep trying".

That could come across as nothing more than bragging even though you're trying to inspire.

I don't see that adding something they could benefit from will kill your business.

If you say "i create traffic using article marketing and then monetise it with thin affiliate sites" that's not exactly tell people how to steal your business but at least giving them something useful (i.e if they're not doing article marketing because they heard it doesn't work anymore, maybe they should rethink) etc...

I think you may have taken keeping your business details to yourself a little far and just made a post that's so vague that it's not actually going to help anyone.

But I appreciate that you cared enough to make your first post an inspirational one in thought at least.

Andy

Good point Andy,

Okay then I'll say this at least.

I work mostly in the SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) field.

I rank my own sites and I help my clients get their sites ranked.

Okay so business model shared so newbies get out there and start studying SEO!

Rank your sites, or get some clients and rank their sites. Either way is fine. Doing both is what I do.

Rank your affiliate sites and get the commission, or rank your clients' sites and get paid by them.

Come on! Let's see who's best at ranking sites on Google.

This is what I do too - sometimes I make more for ranking other people than for myself because they pay for ranking branding terms and not for sales

Have to agree with Andyhenry 100%. A lot of his posts have been inspirational and offer some real advice for us newbies. It's not that I think you shouldn't have created the post, just that offering even a tiny piece of guidance is worth more than: "Look at how much money I've made"

Congrats on your success and I hope to reach the $100 / day mark within a year myself.

Thanks

I agree there are many scammers and cheaters and liars out there.

They are out there in the real world but there are just many more online.

It's good to stay prudent and cautious. So watch out.

But I also want to say that not everyone makes a living by cheating other people.

I can swear on my head that I'm not faking anything, nor lying. Nor shall I suddenly come up with a WSO, nor shall I go hunting newbies, lol.

Again the message is "Warrior forum is a good place for newbies, there are scammers on WF too, but if a newbie watches out for himself, keeps knocking, searching, trying, doing, re-doing, re-trying, then knocking again, the he will be making cash online thanks to WF."

And NO I'm not being paid by anyone to promote WF on warrior froum.

I'm just doing this because I have some free time and I wanted to encourage a few newbies out there who are thinking about quitting, and show my gratitude to this forum.

End of story, time to go back to my working hours.

Good luck guys,

Unnamed Stranger

Thanks

to be fair - why SHOULD he tell you how he did it?

there is enough advice and walk throughs going around this forum, it's almost refreshing to see somebody say "this is what i earn - now go do it yourself".

there's too much of a desire to be spoon fed. read the guides, think like a user and produce good, targeted content. this is what i'm following and it's working reasonably well.

Enough information on WF already (and I mean the free ones are enough too) that I don't need to write anything on that.

How can something you read day in and day out be refreshing?
It's getting old hat now.
First the claims by newbies with no name.

then comes the "coaching" WSO

Congrats man .

I agree with AndyHenry you could have at least give a hint or two .

I don't know somthing like "look for low competition keywords , get a domain name , put up a few articles and hyperlink to your affiliate offers"

That won't be giving away your business model, will it ?

I know what you mean but that sound a bit selfish to me, it's not like he's being asked to reveal his method from A to Z but just a few tips to help the begginers .

The OP can do what he/she likes and I think it's all being done with the best intention.

I'm just surprised you only decided to join today.

My revenue in the month of May is about $4000. Not bad for working 30-40 minutes a day.

So internet marketing works if you put your time and input in it.

This is slightly contradictory though. 30-40 minutes a day isn't time and input in my eyes.

This is the easiest way to make some easy legit cash.

This I don't agree with. Maybe for the OP but reading the threads each day, I wouldn't say this was the easiest way, even if all the courses say it is.

Good luck though and welcome to the inside of the forum.
