Earning money online for everyone?

12 replies
Hello Fellow Warriors,

No doubt we've all read about many successful people online earning comfortable income from IM. Being a newbie and have not met a person offline earning an income from IM to tell me but only based on what I've read on the internet. I just don't know how true these stories are. Is earning an income online only for the technologically savvy and extremely intelligent elite but not for the average guy like me?

If I want to consistently earn $500/mth from IM one year from now, is it really possible for an average Joe like me who only knows how to surf the net and receive and send emails? If yes, what are the basic steps to follow to do so? This assumes I've just read and gone through some good courses like selling physical producst from Jan Roos/D.Brock.

Any replies will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    Yes of course it is possible! My husband and I started with zero IM knowledge and nearly hit 6 figures our first 9 months online. Pick the method you want to do (there are a billion ways to earn money from IM!) and learn all you can WHILE taking action!

    Actually the top gurus who have been earning 6 to 7 figures are in your position when they started. IM is a journey as well as a process. First you should educate yourself then take action persistantly. The most important thing is that you must follow a proven system to make money online.

    $500 per month within 12 months is easily possible as long as you apply yourself and concentrate only on one method until you make it profitable and expand it.

    You need to treat it like a business though, some days you will be doing things that you don't want to do, you need to think what the best action is for your business and apply yourself.

    You don't need to be super smart or super IT illiterate to succeed. In fact a moderate business sense will be much better than a smart IT brain any day.

    Think smart and always work ON your business, not IN it.

    By the way, I am with you. I have never met anyone in the flesh making a full time income online either, apart from myself

    Take Action !

    Yes it is definitely possible to earn a full time income for someone who isn't very technologically savvy. A lot of internet marketing skills require very little technical skill and can be learned fairly quickly. There is also outsourcing for anything too difficult for you. All you need is a solid plan and to learn how to go about executing it.

      Yes, it IS possible. $500/mth is easily achievable if you take action.

      Making money online is not only for those who are tech saavy. It does not require you to know technical stuff. You can build sites using Wordpress, which is very user friendly. Find 1 proven system & follow through until you see success. The most important thing is to stay focus to your system & plan.

    If you want to meet fulltime internet marketers then you absolutely need to go to internet marketing conferences, like Affiliate Summit or AdTech (there are many others). My income literally exploded when I started going to events and meetups. Just meeting people who do what you do, but on another level will make it more REAL, and you'll have the proof that people are really making LOTS of money.

    I took one of my friends to an event last year - he had no internet marketing experience (he just wanted to make some money), but I told him he needed to meet some people to see what this industry is all about. 6 months later he left his job and is making MUCH more then he did at his job.

    $500 per month in 12 months in very, very achievable. The key is to focus. Most methods you have seen will make money as long as your work them consistently. I have made $500+ per day from stupid little methods I did years ago (I call them stupid, because I couldn't believe I was getting paid that type of money with the particular method of traffic generation).

    Pick a way to make money (you can start by buying a WSO with good feedback) and ONLY focus on that until you get some momentum. You have to understand what you are doing if you want to make money consistently (even if it's just $500 per month). So don't just 'follow' the steps, understand why you are doing each step. That's how you'll get to a fulltime income status online.

    Anyway, besides that, my best recommendation would be to go to places where people who do this fulltime are hanging out at. That's what took me to the next level.

    Don't treat online marketing / Internet marketing any different to a business you might be running offline.

    The Internet is but a huge communication portal to help you to connect your skills, what you can personally bring to the table to benefit and enrich the lives of your customers.

    All business, remember this point... is all about enriching the lives of other people. Bringing your benefits, your solutions to the frustration or pain felt by others within the market.

    Failing to grasp this elemental and very basic point is a sure fire way to not earn a considerable amount of money. It's worth repeating...

    The entire object of your business is to enrich in some way the lives of other people. Drill this thought pattern into your subconscious mind.

    Can somebody completely inexperienced do this and make money? Why of course you can!

    Let me ask you a few questions...

    What is your specialization? What is your niche? What is your personal area of expertise?

    Uncover this, exploit it for everything you're worth, persuade people to buy into your goods, products, and services within your chosen area of specialization. Convince your target market that you are their best solution right now and that you can turn their emotional frustration and pain into pleasure and the world is your oyster.

    Remember...

    Everything starts with ideas.

    What are you most highly passionate about? What makes you get up in the morning excited to take on a new day? If you find out what this is, it's very likely this could be the ideal self employed business niche for you.

    Anything is possible if you have the self belief, time, and commitment to make the change you seek in your life happen.

    Demonstrate dedication, empathy to your target market and listen to what you're sector of the market is telling you - study your competition, exploit holes in their positioning and marketing and go 10% better on whatever facet of business they're offering.

    Can you offer the same better, cheaper or faster?

    If so and you put yourself in front of the stampeding herd of buyers and deliver outstanding customer value, then of course you can make a success both on and offline.

    The rest is up to you.

    All the very best,


    Mark Andrews

      I must admit, it is easy to get give up the first few months. But the minute you get a dollar in your account, it is gives you motivation to keep going. I haven't yet got to $500 a day, leave alone a month, but warrior forum advice keeps me going. I should hit my first $500 soon.

    well there is nothing out there that is for everybody, but there is something out there for everybody, you just have to try out a little bit of everything and decide which one is best for you.

    If you can make short 1min. videos it's possible to hit $500 per month on Youtube/Adsense in less than 6 months.

    Youtube is all about volume (lots of videos on your channel), the traffic is massive so you don't need high paying clicks.

    Not bad for no website or list.

    Fixed that for you.

    What you are really thinking about doing is starting your own business. Plenty of businesses have been started, both online and off, by people with no more brains than you. What differentiates them is their willingness to keep going and take chances when most "normal" people would give up.

    That is not about how quickly or brightly you think. It is about the direction you think.

    When faced with an inventory of bottled water machines that he couldn't sell, James Cook - encouraged at every turn to declare bankruptcy - decided to install those machines free of charge at local apartment complexes for a week... then install coin boxes on them that charged a dime to fill each bottle.

    He did not declare bankruptcy. He didn't become outrageously rich, either, but he sold the company for a solid six figures just a couple years later. The buyer, unable to think the same way, went out of business within three years.

    Starting your own business isn't easy, but it's not brains or skills or experience you need. It's attitude and creativity.
