$1k a day, newbies- its possible

Although i'm not claiming to do this everyday, i have had $1k days, and thought I'd share how I got there with other warriors. This was by no means an overnight thing. It actually took several years before I hit this- but hopefully you can shortcut this learning process with info from WF and other sources. I didn't have all this info available to me at the time.

I'll not put my signature on this post so no one can say i'm posting for promotion (yeah, there are haters here!)

I hope you can learn something from this:

I studied marketing for many years- especially Dan Kennedy's stuff.
While working in my full-time job, on the side, I made some mobile sites, and built up a large list of mobile emails, started getting steady $, quit my job, only to be eventually banned from the affiliate system i was promoting and the carrier changing the emails on all the phones i had built the list from... back to $0.

I started up several low cost, high margin sites. I started targeting people in a niche I knew and sold them cheap CDs I made (yes, this was before the mp3 was popular)

I saw adwords coming along and I got into that early- helping to boost sales.

I learned SEO, and was like duh, search engine rankings!!

Adwords became expensive as the major players learned of it and bid it up, so i switched to adsense and profiting from the higher bids with content sites.
This produced decent profits. Not 1k a day yet...

I started up another site with a friend and this led me to learn about a piece of software which was becoming popular. I learned all about how to use this software, and saw that a lot of others had difficulty using it. I decided to start a site teaching about the software.

It was the right thing at the right time. All my past experience with SEO, marketing, and tech positioned me well for when the gurus started talking about setting up sites and using this software- I became the go to guy for the gurus and their lists.

Orders for my training, and 'done for you' services (people like fish more than learning to fish) began coming in and $1k days!

What lessons do you see in this journey?

PS - The 1k a day is from non launch sales- if you do a big launch you can do much, much more than 1k in a day. I'm talking about regular, grind it out daily sales.
