So I'm surprised I haven't seen posts like this yet but here it is.

While most of us are struggling for a breakthrough, there are still a lot of IMers out there who have "made it." I ask these people this. What was your "ah-hah" when a light bulb went off in your head and everything clicked. And then, before you knew it, you were at the beginning of your success.

I would be foolish to say that success happens over night, but I also know that most of the time internet marketing just clicks, and you know what you are doing.

So just a few sentences of what was the turning point in your internet marketing career that pushed you towards success.

Pete

    Realizing that work is part of life. It's about creating VALUE in the marketplace.

    Anytime you're looking to make more money always ask where can I create more value?

    VALUE means things people are willing to happily pay for and keep.

    Wasn't an actual "aha" moment, but the breakthrough point for me was taking action.

    Again, even after I figured that out, it took me months before actually doing any work.

    It's the most crucial thing there is, and, unsurprisingly, the hardest one.

    My biggest breakthrough was getting those first few sales through my email list.

    This made me realize that you CAN make money by building a list and promoting an affiliate products. My "Ah-Ha" was realizing that more subscribers = more money. So all I had to do was go out and hustle to get more subscribers.

    Seems simple now; but that was a big moment for me.

    The "ah-hah" moment? I wrote an article promoting a clickbank product on a timely subject that went to the top of Google. I made $1000 in the first hour and realized...we're off and running!

    I think I "broke through" the second I stopped looking for easy money and realized that I was building a full fledged business. Getting my mindset straight in that regard opened my eyes to what I would need to do to really "make it" online.

    Realizing that by providing a service to others, I would always be working.

    Coming up with a product 14 years ago changed my whole fortune; that and creating a brand name which I owned, rather than working to build another person's brand through affiliate marketing.

    If I could only give one piece of advice to a person it would be to build your own brand. When you realize how easy it can be it makes one wonder why people do it any other way.

    You need to have "pain" and "urgency" in your life. If not, you just won't take action!

    Having a dream and goal will help you to visualize. Next, get a good mentor.

    And I'm sure you are on your way to success!

    I said so because this is what I went through. Now I can quit my 9-5 job and enjoy my internet marketing lifestyle with my beloved family =)

    All the best to all of you!
