Do You make over $10000/m from IM?

Well, although your point is correct, it is easier said than done. I give you a couple of examples:
1- I do charge several clients $1000/m for SEO services. Although it works, it is very difficult to make it scalable. In fact what I do now is freelance and far from business. Each client takes a lot of time. I know there are SEO companies that make several million dollars by providing SEO services, but that requires establishing systems almost for any part of the business. It is a long-term process and needs a lot of consistency. You should invest a lot of money and time and build a heck lot of internet resources, whether if they are high PR networks or some other networks. I know there is no easy way doing this but sometimes good tips from masters helps having the light bulb turn on over your head.
2- Affiliate marketing is a good business. It still is, giving it the right products and right systems... Again there is a lot of effort involved in maintaining the efforts and overall you reach to the same barrier of growth (Time). I know a company that was concentrated on affiliate marketing and now what they do is they teach it by using webinars, seminars, etc. Their business has turned from affiliate marketing to continuous education because it is more scalable and they make seven figures. Now, that's a good business model but again it takes years to implement and not necessarily good for someone who starts today. The bigger barrier there is the art of public speaking and sales and at least for the starters that should be a quality you have.
3- On a smaller scale (I have not ever seen someone making over $10,000 from this), you could figure how to make money with Squidoo, HubPages, etc and copy it thousands of times. You could make money there by a combination of techniques including Adsense, Amazon affiliate, other affiliates, etc. The point is if you do that yourself, it is just so much time you have, and if you outsource it, you need a good amount of investment upfront for that to work and not necessarily the best economy or business model ...

I am looking for creative business models, repeatable systems that can be scaled, etc.

Ideas?

You say it as if it was that easy.

Unfortunately, there are limits to everything in life.

Limits of time, limits of potential customers and so on...

If you spend 4 hours to earn $40, then you can't really "duplicate it by 1000x", can you now?

It is much harder to fake a video you know.

Lol! That is if I actually were a dentist

Completely off topic: Joseph, Your new picture makes me like you more. Your other picture was aggravating.

Slightly more on topic: pulling teeth is very easy these days with drugs.

On topic: no, I don't make over $10k/m from IM.

lmao Joseph. Yes you can get good opinions but you still have to settle on that one answer that best suits your question. Bigger money purchases in today's economy is harder but doable.

Thanks and all that is true. Do you mind sharing some systems you use? I am looking for some answers like:
Look for products with these attributes.
Look for niches with these attributes.
Use Clickbank or CJ or ... because ...
Scale the system this way...
etc...

I am really looking for good and repeatable systems and business models...

Well I confess that I do not make that or anywhere near that. Gotta climb the mountain I guess.

I would like to say thank you for reinforcing the strategy that I have decided to use to get into this world. I signed up with Chris Farrell and am working my way through his site. I am trying to read as much as I can on this forum and plan to become a paid member. I feel that the quickest way to failure is to dive into this world without adequate preparation and then give up when your dreams do not match reality.

I really like what you have to say.

So you want a way to make $10,000 per month straight away that doesn't require much time.

Why didn't you just say?

Making over $1,000 a month is not really difficult although if you're starting out you'll probably have a huge learning curve before you make much.

I think one of the biggest keys is to take your eyes off yourself and what you want and start focusing on what others want.

If you focus on providing products and services that are of genuine value to others and you start delivering several thousand dollars of value every month it's going to be just a matter of time before you're making $1,000+ a month.

And for the record yes I make over a $1,000 a month...way over that and have for many years. So do many of the people I know.

Kindest regards,

I do not know what EPC's are. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

I make over $10000 a month and it's not a secret how I do it.

Lead sale price - PPC spend = profit

It is very easy to do and has instant results.

I like this idea. I think it is scalable. The only limit is it will take 3-6 months of time and some investment upfront to come-up with a good package of services or products. Plus, SEO takes some time too, but I guess this is one of the scalable ideas.

Time to get out Forum Translator...

"I make that easily!"
Translation: Be impressed and buy what's in my sig!

"Nobody will confirm in public that they make $100k a year."
Translation: I don't make anywhere near that, but if I did I wouldn't tell you.

"It's very possible to do that."
Translation: I'm not there yet, but I will be someday. I just know it!


So most IMers make $7,300,000 per year. Good to know!



To the OP.... don't bother with questions like this. As I like to say, just do something good online and the money tends to follow. Those with pure profit motives usually make little or nothing and then they quit because their dream world isn't becoming reality fast enough.


You have three choices:
A) Produce your own product.
B) Sell someone else's product as an affiliate/reseller.
C) Generate and sell traffic.

The real money is generally made through choice C, but that one also has the highest bar of entry since you must produce a high end free attraction.

You believed what a stranger said? On the internet? Are you nuts?

@CtrlAltRage,

speaking of a brand, your domain ctrl-alt-success - thats bloody awesome,

to asnswer topic here, i think the question is pointless, for all the reason already stated,
and motives? well, if someone worked hard to succeed in IM would they really just tell the world?, on the most visited internet marketing forum?, so that they can get crazy amounts of PMs from newbies asking for free things and advice and to 'meet up'... ?
NO
..creepy.

Even the best built buildings need sign posts to guide you there.. (what ever that means... my adaptation of if you build it they will come - which in most cases proven to be another pointless argument.

EDUCATE YOURSELF!

take action, learn from mistakes, get results, embrace failure, try something new, ........blah blah blah .......- get success

and my final word. if only (who said in the past?):
