Who's REALLY Making $$$ Online?...Honestly.

23 replies
The reason I ask that question is because eveyone wants to
make money online but very few ever do? If you never do, you
are not alone; 97% never do or at least never make enough to
get the bills paid.
So are you really making money online? If you are then say so.
Let everyone know and be honest. If you haven't yet then it's
still OK. You gotta start somewhere and forums like this is a
great place to learn, share ideas, build relationships and grow.

    Wow!! I have never thought of myself as being in the Top 3% of earners online....

    But if you say that 97% never make enough online to pay the bills, then I must be in the top 3%!!

    Thats not completely true, you need to finish that. 97 percent quit before they see a profit. I like that, means more for me.

      Most people who want to get into internet marketing think it is a get rich quick scheme. Do no work and make 10,000 a month. Thats why most people never do well at this. It takes alot of work at the front end and a proper business plan.

      You need to find what will work for you. The real big money earners from this, the ones making 7 figures a month have a sound business plan to do this.

      Anyone making that sort of money will not give their business away to anyone else. Most internet marketing products are stuff you can find for free on the internet. Or stuff that is out of date or just part of their business not all of it.

        You made good sense until you said this.

    Making money online is too broad.

    We can make money online through providing our services like web development, graphics, article content etc.

    Are you referring to making money online from your own websites like adsense sites, affiliate sites, cpa sites, etc?

    Personally, I can't rely on my adsense sites yet at this point in time and my main source of income is from providing my services.

    Cheers,
    Louie Tugas

    You can create money online when you have a clear idea of which area that you want to focus on. The reason why so many people don't make money online is because they try and be the super person of internet marketing when they need to just be super in just one field.

    Become a expert in one field of internet marketing and learn as much as you can in that one area. If your trying to master Facebook advertisements and email marketing and article marketing your going to mess up in one of those areas and your going to consistently wonder why you never see any different results.

    Honestly for myself I focused just on creating passive income with affiliate marketing and creating my own products with showing people how to become great affiliate marketers. Instead of trying to be the expert in every area I focused just on one area.

    Care to back up your "statistics" with credible evidence? (Perhaps with some references?).

    Also, why would people--who have no idea who you are--want to publicly reveal their income to YOU? How is somebody else's income going to positively affect your business in any way, whatsoever?

    Note that, if you did a search prior to creating this thread, you would have come to the conclusion that this question has been answered by many people, over multiple threads.

    My goal is to make $600 a month, so when I hit this figure do I enter the elite 3% or are those statistics pulled out of thin air ?

    Making money online wasn't has hard as I thought it would be, you just have to tell your self to stop jumping around from one promise to the next, focus on something and dominate it. Thats how money has started to flow in for me after 3 months, as to how much I make exactly, I wouldn't ever tell - You dont ask strangers in the street how much they make !

    Okay will tell my lengthy story. I used to be a mod of themakemoneyshop or another one Been about six years. I had a guy that would badger me about ebay and how it was a piece of crap and he couldnt make money on it.

    I really do not like ebay but know you can make good money there. I bet him 100 bucks I could start a store that day and sell dollar store items and make a profit from day one to day thirty, He laughed at me and we gave the money to the website owner to hold.

    I went out and bought 99 items from my local dollar store. I bought shampoo, earbuds, car wash wipes. baby clothes. Alot of nothing to me.

    I then opened a store and took out my old auction software and started listing. I listed everything for .01 cent starting bid with no reserve.

    Surprise I starting getting bids right and left of .01 cent. very few items got a second bid. At the end of the month he was just laughing his head off.

    LOL. I sold almost all the .99 cent items I had for .01 cent, he was following it, he thought I lost my azz, what he didn't notice was I was charging an avg of 2.85 for shipping and handling and sometimes more, The avg item shipped for .85 cents.

    I like that example because it shows you can make money where you think there is none, YOU JUST HAVE TO WANT IT BAD ENOUGH IS ALL.

    My seven year old son made $24 in less than 5 minutes. I threw the money in the fireplace and banned him from the scanner/copier. Does that count?

      It sounds like you came here to get affirmation on your negative view. I'm sorry - I just know people like this and you really will need to change your mindset for success. Framing a question like this will guarantee you get the negative feedback you seek.

        97% never do
        Things must be getting worse - it used to be 95% was the oft repeated "failure rate".

        For a number that is references as often as it is - amazing no one can provide the source of the research on failure rate.

        So are you really making money online? If you are then say so.
