Hello everyone,

I have a few $$$ to burn.

For those of you making at least $100/month based on a money-making IM product (or a combination of products) that you purchased, which course(s) did you purchase?

How long from download to first profit?

Still growing?

Thanks!

    If you follow a proven system, and are doing it consistently the chances are that success will happen sooner than later.

    It's really not so important to know how long it took each individual since we are all different and have unique talents.

    If I buy/pay for a course, Ebook, coaching program or consulting service I do with the intention to get at least 10:1 on my money.

    All that matters when purchasing products is ROI. If you can make a lot of your money back, it's almost always a good choice to buy the product, because here is what happens:

    a) You'll be able to learn a new marketing technique or expand your knowledge and skill in a market you're already in.

    b) You'll add significant ROI to your future projects based on the information you've gained and applied.

    c) You'll be able to build your brand in a new because you gain knowledge, and if applied

    d) You could market the knowledge gained in from those courses/ebooks/coaching for your own future products. Of course, you shoudn't market the same information, but you can alter it a little bid.

    Most of the time you'll get great ideas by reading books or getting training from top marketers.

    I believe that you can learn something from everyone, even if you're talking to a complete failure. It's all about your success perspective and how you can implement ideas to your advantage.

    Choose one course or Ebook that seems right for you, and don't budge on your actions if you should face short term failure.

    Most skills can only be learned by doing, so get started!

      Yes, and to identify those proven systems, I'm asking for people who are actually making $100+/month with a system to identify those systems. There are 1000's of IM products out there. I don't know which ones are proven. Each product promises that they are proven. I'm sorry, but I don't want the proof from the sales person. That's like buying broken window insurance from the same company that repairs windows.

      It's really not so important to know how long it took each individual since we are all different and have unique talents.
      This is short sighted. This information is very valuable and can provide things we can infer and extrapolate. More importantly, if someone says it took them X time, we can ask additional questions to learn more.

      All that matters when purchasing products is ROI. If you can make a lot of your money back, it's almost always a good choice to buy the product, because here is what happens:
      Again, I feel this is a limited view. ROI without the time element in the equation has the potential to be unbalanced. We also are missing elements of scale and longevity. If the opportunity is based on exploiting temporary conditions (like search engine exploits) then you have a limited window to exploit the opportunity (now time becomes even more critical).

      Choose one course or Ebook that seems right for you, and don't budge on your actions if you should face short term failure.
      And clearly this is my goal since I'm requesting a list of IM products that others have found worthy. This will generate a short-list (from the 1000's of crap products out there) of products that I can evaluate knowing that people have actually had success with them (as opposed to simply hypnotically nodding my head as the sales letter tells me how profitable it is).

      Most skills can only be learned by doing, so get started!
      Again, agree! Let's hope I can generate a good list of candidate IM products to study!

        You are in a marketing forum. If any given product works, the person using it will join its affiliate program. That makes them a salesperson, and you can't get proof from them either.

        But hey, I don't want to troll your thread. Go ahead. Ask a forum full of salespeople to be honest and not sell you things. Most ignorance is willful.

    Hey kenzik,

    Without a doubt one of the best products I have ever spent money on is Kelly and Mike's BTF.

    I actually got it over a year ago before it was updated and offered as a WSO.

    What I like the most about it is the Private Forum where members share some killer info. I've never been in a community like that before & it covers all types of IM subjects.

    It was the first place I went when the Penguin crapped all over my site to find out what was happening to everyone else. The pooling of info was really helpful!

    Your mindset is completely wrong. If this is how you value your money, then don't expect to get very far with a business.

    People who make money directly from an IM product would be a person who is selling an IM product and brings in at least $100 in sales from that product. Downloading and reading a book isn't going to make you money. Doesn't matter if it is the best damn method in the world.

    It's what you do with the idea to grow your own business.

    Hate to break it to you; but there is no such thing as a paint by numbers business. The longer you look for it, the closer you are to complete and utter failure.

      Your assumptions are completely wrong. I already have an online business that generates $1k/month profit. So your expectations (the expectation that I won't get very far) are already invalidated.

      You may have misinterpreted my "money burning". I mean that I have excess cash that is ready to be invested in educating myself further. Asking a question, instead of making an assumption about my mindset and telling me how you don't expect me to get far, might have been a more fruitful conversation starter.

      Again, this is false. During the course of constructing my $1/k month business, I read many books that related to the work I was doing. Without that reading, I have doubts about its success.

      Hate to break it to you; but there is no such thing as a paint by numbers business. The longer you look for it, the closer you are to complete and utter failure.
      And again. False. There are plenty paint-by-the-numbers businesses. They are called franchises. You invest $1M+, you get a business. They tell you what to buy, where to get it, which vendors to use for supplies, which advertisements to buy, where to place them, etc. They are systems that work, provided you follow the rules. The problem with franchises is that you simply become an employee with no flexibility in innovation.

      Please don't troll my thread. I was very specific in my question. I'm simply looking for a list of programs that others would recommend on the basis that they are making money with it. If you can't help out, that's cool, but please don't litter in the thread.

        kenzik, you're pretty new here and try to mess things up with other advanced members who are already established and successful.

        If you already have a business that generates $1000 a month, why the heck do you then ask for advice from people who earn $100+ a month? That doesn't make much sense.

        We like newbies and people who are ambitious to learn new techniques or ask for advice, but what we don't like is someone who asks for it and thinks he can correct others.

        You don't have the results yet to outsmart an advanced Warrior.

          Me being new doesn't mean I'm unqualified to debate my position. If someone tells me I have a bad mindset, I'm going to defend it.

          Actually, I asked a pretty simple narrowly defined question. I also think it is quite logical, and that I could get a great list to work with.

          He decided he knew what was best for me and went off the path.

          I'm not going to argue any more over that though. We can agree to disagree, but it is pretty standard on internet forums for people to ignore the original question and try to answer an unasked question (instead of asking questions themselves to find out more information about what the person is actually trying to accomplish).

          If you already have a business that generates $1000 a month, why the heck do you then ask for advice from people who earn $100+ a month? That doesn't make much sense.
          Simple explanation. I created that business before I started learning about IM. I brute forced my way through and mostly focused on business oriented books from the bookstore and my own creativity.

          Now I'm trying to learn more about other avenues of online businesses that folks are playing with as well as different skills to add. I probably created that business the hard way, and I'm certain that I will learn a lot of things to augment what I've already learned that can grow that business further and help me create new businesses.

          So, I'd like to pick up a course/product/whatever and start exploring. In order to narrow down the list of courses to choose from, I would like to try and create that list from a few folks that have ordered courses and have been successful with them.

          To the end that someone is actually able to do that, I'll will be quite grateful.

          We like newbies and people who are ambitious to learn new techniques or ask for advice, but what we don't like is someone who asks for it and thinks he can correct others.
          I can appreciate that. Now try stepping into my shoes. Read the very first post. Then read his response. If you don't understand why that might be frustrating, then there really is nothing more for us to discuss. It means you'll have your perspective, and I'll have mine.

          You don't have the results yet to outsmart an advanced Warrior.
          This isn't about outsmarting. This is about trying to narrow down a course/product to purchase. So far, he wasn't very helpful in that quest. Other less "advanced Warrior's" have been far more helpful.

            It's also common for people to start arguing with people that respond to them and ruining what could've been a useful thread by making it all about them.

            I was going to answer your question until you started having a go at people not responding how you wanted.

            You may not like their comments but they may actually have been trying to help you. Perhaps not in a way you wanted or needed but turning the thread into an argument with them about type of help you are allowed to ask for definitely did not improve the thread or your chances of getting the responses you did want.

            Being successful is not about which products you bought. That's like asking a successful doctor which books they read in order to be successful. Getting a sound grounding in IM can be done 1000 ways, what makes the difference about your success is how you apply yourself and your knowledge to your chosen business model.

            Some people like a diverse portfolio of sites and products and focus on numbers - getting average traffic to lots of sites, and others prefer to have one thin but deep niche with one business that revolves around maximizing the opportunities within that niche. Both ways have different merits and suit different people.

            Rather than looking to blow your cash on IM products - why not spend it on improving your sales letter or buying more traffic?

    I bought my fair share of WSOs and I still buy them now and then today

    I;ve passed the $100/month mark and $1000/month mark from some of the WSOs ive purchased in the past..

    BUT let me tell you, alot of this WSOs requires you to take MASSIVE action! some of the WSOs i bought I knew alot of what the seller claims is false, but I still give it a go anyways and add my own "twist and sauce" to make the difference

    I think for starters, you should really try to build a list, I dont mean just paying monthly for an autoresponder service and put it in your blog hoping for people to sign up. But instead actively find ways to build your list ( build a relationship) and learn how to monetize that list.

    Everyone gets your point, some will give you a simple answer straight to the point.
    Others will correct you if they think you asked the wrong question and STOP there,
    Which I believe is well pretty lame, the reasons are obvious to me as to why some will
    Respond in such a way.

    So let me answer your question,

    If you have some money to invest, I highly recommend joinig a coaching program.
    Alex Jeffreys has a great one, but do your own research.

    Kenzik, I think this question has been asked a lot of times over but here's my 2 cents anyway... you're probably just going to figure out something on your own anyway.

    I've tried following systems and they just don't do it for me. You need a lot of skills in a lot of different things to really begin seeing results - most of last year was spent learning graphics, SEO, writing content, building websites... because after trying to be an "affiliate" (akin to an employee) that I would rather be the boss.


    It's kind of a mindset shift, but it won't happen overnight. If that makes sense

    I've made money from products I've brought from here. Very quickly actually, but there's some points I'd like to mention why I've made money.

    1) I only buy products that involve paid traffic, I like to have control over my traffic.

    2) I put my own spin on the product.

    3) I'm am not a newbie, I've been in the industry for years and that's what allows me to make money with these products. If I was honest, if I was a newbie I'd most likely have lost money.

    4) I have the business attitude and business sense to make things work. Notice I underlined the "business attitude" and "business sense", because I think that's what divides people who win and lose at this game.

    To be honest though, some of the best information I've ever gotten was slipped over via Skype and will never bee written in an ebook or made into a video product. I'm just being honest, I share some stuff with my inner circle which will never be shared with a mass group of people while these people have a ounce of sense left.
