What is your plan to make $1M this year?

I try to make plans that are more comparable to giving myself a raise through smart business practices, and less focusing on ideas that are as likely as winning the lottery. Often I have targets related to getting staff members trained and happy with their jobs, and building relationships with customers that will last a long time. These are not money targets so much as they are money guarantees for the years to come. I'm not far from being able to sell my business for 7 figures but I really like it too much to stop now!

I have this secret. But, it will cost you ONE MILLION DOLLARS. I take direct deposit only to my account in the Bahamas. I eagerly await your response.

Kind regards

I think that the best plan is to constantly grow. Try to find new ways to make more than last year, like the child did, to double it every year. Find new ways to get traffic, new ways to monetize, launch a new website, launch a new product.

It is true that you can sell a $1,000 product. For example, if you invest 500$ in advertising you may have more changes to sell your $1000 product, than investing 5$ in advertising to sell a $10 product, but you still have to give some value to that product, else they will request refunds, unless you are John Chow.

However, you first need to a/b test your landing pages. For that, you need tens of test purchases, and for that you need a lot of money. If you have 50,000 or so, then you might go for the $1000 product. Buf if someone earns 3000$ a month, he better goes for a product that will make him to earn $6000 a month. In this way, in 5 years he will reach $1M. Healthy, with solid products at sale, eggs in different baskets.

And there is a big difference between a plan to become "worth" a million dollars, and "having" a million cash. Small steps over time lead to this. I've got a million pages online but I started over a decade ago. We are talking sites that people use and enjoy, not a bunch of automated crap. That stuff does NOT work if you want to be worth a million in 10 years.

My plan is to follow people who are trustworthy. It might seem more easily said than done but the good guys get testimonials that 'you don't have to suspend judgment a little' to track with.

I want to focus on list building and recurring income this year. This way I can build up my business step by step and maybe reach 1M some day :-)

Yeah, I'm looking to focus on my continuity program this year...

recurring income is the best way to get setup but I would be interested in creating a higher ticket item in the future as well.

@napoleon... I don't think ANYONE should focus on buying products if they want to MAKE 1 Million this year... they should probably focus on marketing their own product!

I have found that over time, marketing tends to be pretty consistent. For instance I get a 9 to 11% open rate on any email I send out. Doesn't seem to matter what the email is. So for me to increase sales I have a couple of options:
Add more names to my list (this should be an ongoing process)
Use other people's lists (solo ads, selling through affiliates, etc.)

The best plan is to do what is working right now, then find ways to multiply that process.

Definitely shooting for the stars... why not.

I'm building an authority blog based around honest affiliate marketing.

Provide real value to people --> gain their trust and credibility.

I tend to think that setting smaller more manageable goals makes it much easier for me to succeed. Not to mention, when you set too big of a goal, you often end up shooting yourself in the foot. More often than not, you end up not achieving that big goal, and just the disappointing alone is enough for many people to give up the whole thing.

2000 x $1,000 x 0.5 = $1,000,000
20000 x $100 x 0.5 = $1,000,000
2 x $1,000,000 x 0.5 = $1,000,000
EVEN 1 x $1,000,000 x 1 = $1,000,000

But that means NOTHING!

Anyone can say this times this x this is a million but there's no business thought behind it.

I don't know how much you're making online and don't want you to tell us BUT I expect it is a way off the $1,000,000 a year mark, correct?

Then why don't you set yourself more attainable goals that are split into quarterly periods for example. I don't know, make $1,000 a week consistently for 3 months. Then make $1,250 a week consistently with $xxx in recurring commissions and so on.

From the sounds of it you want a quick fix way to get a million in the bank. IF ONLY!

I'd expect you to have made 6 figures already to be aiming that high this year. I'm on 5 figures yearly, and my first goal is to attain 6 figures, and keep it going at an upwards trend. Eventually it'll get there, I've no hurry to hit a million, because I don't need that much to live the life I need. Heck, I don't even need 6 figures, but from that point onwards it just adds a bigger and bigger safety net = )

I personally believe that earning $1 million has very little to do with math & numbers and more to do with actually providing value. A funny thing happens when we focus on providing something and focus less on receiving something....

A handy tip: There is very less likelihood that you will make a million dollars all by yourself. If you have such a big target then you have to upscale your work exponentially, and thus, you'll need to outsource it. Not just some articles or some designs, but chunks of them. If you believe that you can make 1 million in a year all by yourself then that's totally unrealistic. You need more people for more productivity.

As long as you have a plan, and you work extremely hard on making that plan work, you might as well enter 2014 as a millionaire.

Hey man, affiliates are known to sometimes hit the jackpot in different niches. Good luck!

Haha, classic!

I wish it was that easy.

I have a long sales funnel leading to products like that but it's a little too hard to sell upfront -- especially with the time necessary to help the students after the product is sold to them (e.g. for one of my high end products in the dog niche -- including pre-recorded training -- I actually skype with them for two weeks, an hour each day, to train their dog -- but that costs over $3,500 to be fair).

I was really close to a making a million last year, hopefully I'll be able to reach it this year considering none of my businesses stop working.

Actually I think thats the WRONG way to go about it. I think it is much more easy to convince 1 million people to give you $2 than it is to convince 2000 people to give you $1000. There is a whole industry based on this concept (just about every pay mobile and FB app)

I think the key to getting this goal is to sell low price product first and later upsell to a more advance and higher price item

I plan to sell coaching or teleseminars. Believe it or not, people will pay for things that they believe have value. If you have a skill as a relationship or business expert, then you can create a coaching business that is all done by phone. One coach charges $520 for one 90-minute session of "Using Facebook for your Business."

If you want her full services, it will run you around $12,000. With free telephone bridge lines, a computer and some good content, you could realistically make $1 million dollars in a year. In this case, pricing is key as is your target audience. Most Internet marketers target people with disposable income that are looking to improve some area of their life, start a business or productivity tools.

ha ha... If i had a plan to make $1m, I wouldn't be sharing it on here.

Seriously though, unless you have an established business and deep pockets, you will struggle.

Fantasy land stuff IMO.

Anyone who can make $10k in one year in CLEAN profit will be ahead of 98% of others.

currently i earn from mobile advertising

Product is the best way to achieve that plan for me but still haven't started on it yet :/

Here is a thought experiment. One you can actually do if you choose, but you would have to humble yourself to do it:

-Stand on a busy city corner and ask people who go past you for $1
-Have a friend stand on the same corner and have him ask people for $100 (if they offer him less than $100 he cant take it)

Who do you think will make more money in the day?
$1 is such a low amount that the people 'spend' (by giving it to you) without even thinking. They dont care about the product (in this thought experiment there really is no product) As I said this is how mobile apps and FB games work. The price is so low that the people dont even care, the product itself means very little. It only has to have a minor perception of value.

Of course you need to be on a 'busy street corner' ... with lots of people.

Well this is the low price / high volume VRS high price / low volume strategy debate. Obvously I favor the low price / high volume plan. Both 'can' be sucessful. But low price / high volume is shown to have the most success over all in many industries.

As for the begging $100 bills. Im willing to wager $100 that you couldn't convince anyone on the street to give you a single $100 bill in a 8 hour day.

Of course affiliate marketing is the first choice for me to get one million in a year with more than 1000 products.

How to make a MILLION dollars (and what to do if you don't!)

Why not check out this squidoo page to get some idea?

This has become a tedious yet mildly amusing thread.

Volume with a low price versus low turnover at a higher price?

Either way, there is a substantial amount of R&D that goes into each avenue. Big money and time.

One example that comes to mind was a little book called Everything That Men Understand About women.

Inside, all the pages were blank. Sold over a million copies if I recall correctly. Great novelty item.

So yeah if you can land a fish that has this appeal then you will get lucky. But how many people really get that lucky?

There are millions of great ideas out there that have sent the owners broke.

So I guess you could get there by selling a $1 widget to a million people... but you'll get there faster by selling a $10 widget to 100,000 people.

If either approach were the answer then we'd all be filthy rich. Reality is that either way, you need effort, resources and a real business model that works.

The key is to have real income on a consistant level over the years and not rely on one launch or similar. the number 1 is the most dangerous number in business.

Fascinating to see how so many people ask themselves such poor questions.Warren and Brainsgonewild understand the reality,that in order to earn $1 million,you have to deliver an equal or greater value to the world.Now you can break it down into numbers,ie,sell 1000 units @ $1000 or 100,000 units @ $10,but this is premature and missing the point.You can't possibly do this until you know your market-inside out.Humans are notoriously poor at predicting how things will pan out.If you try to find a product or service based on your foaming at the mouth while getting "calculator rich",you're likely to land on your arse,because you're focused on the money,on the numbers.Shift that focus by asking " how can i deliver massive value to the most people in this market" and suddenly you get a an entirely different perspective,insight and hence different set of answers.My own experience shows that finding something you are fascinated/obsessed/passionate about,enough to carry you throught the inevitable challenges,is the best place to start.Every niche already has assets in place ready for you to leverage.Blogs,large list owners,sites with large volumes of regular,loyal readers and more importantly,relationships with key influencers just waiting for you to initiate.BUT,you have to create/provide a product or service of massive value in your market.I know this sounds too simple and that most people will go back to trying to find a more complicated,unworkable idea/system/tactic/piece of software.Stop the madness.
Afterthought: how many of you really believe you need $1 million per year to attain your desired lifestyle?

frankly, how many people on WF can make $1M per year?

Already have a good list, multiple online businesses, my own products to sell, etc...

The big push this year for our business is going great guns around developing more content and more community...it's all about being involved with a wider group within our niches and produce more meaningful content that attracts, interests and benefits our community...this will feed our businesses and really elevate the marketing push for this year.

How many people on the Warrior Forum can make $1 miilion per year? Well,everyone CAN,but very few will.Why is that? Because most people dream and hope of making that level of income,but that's all it is,a faint hope,without resolve or conviction,because the sad truth is,if you look in the mirror and ask yourself honestly how important is making $1 million per year,you'll get an honest answer:not very.It's a well documented fact that beyond a certain level of financial comfort and security,your level of motivation to earn more money almost drops off a cliff.If you frame it this way it'll make sense:If you're earning $100k pa now,doing something you enjoy,that affords you time to spend with family and friends,leisure time etc,would you trade that in for $1 mil per annum,with no time for friends,family or leisure and more responsibility? If you said no,you know why you are where you are.This is why the truly successful individuals who earn 7 figures pa have done it through building something they love and in way that's ecological,ie,they still get to do funstuff with their friends and family.true wealth is a result of pursuing something worthwhile,that adds massive value to others AND massive value to YOU in ways other than just financial.You're a long time time dead,nobody gets out alive,so don't let the pursuit of money lead you to somewhere you'd really rather not be.Remember,money is NOT wealth.It's merely an aspect of it.And your wealth is a reflection of who YOU are.On a more practical note,most Warriors won't be able to make $1 million pa based on their current thinking and habits.Thats why mentoring and coaching is actually far cheaper and more effective than buying 937 ebooks...it's NOT the tactics/methods in the ebook that matter,it's what's between your ears.If you're making roughly the same money now,as were 947 ebook purchases ago,there's a clue for you...the methods taught are irrelevant if your thinking isn't aligned with your goals.In simple terms,if you found someone with a $5 million problem and you had/could find a $1 million solution,job done.This happens DAILY all around the world,and for amounts much much larger than this.Take a step back.The IM niche you inhabit is but a microcosm in the world around you.

I'm not sure if I'll make a million $$ this year but this is certainly my life plan to complete before I retire

Solid Product (s) Plus Big JV'S Make ALL The Difference!

Most people get jv'ing wrong.

I guess it depends on who you are. If you haven't started to eat the elephant, you need to do so... one bite at a time. If you are making $3000/month for example, a reasonable goal by the end of the year would be $10000-$20000/month. $1M is over $80k/month. That's too large for most in one year. Perhaps that could be a 5-year goal?

Start with smaller goals first. You're not chasing for the wind I hope...

Who said you can only sell 1 product to these 1000, 100 000, 1 000 000+... customers?

What you all said is right :

- If you sell a $2 product to 500 000 customer you'll make $1 000 000
- A $2000 product to 500 customers you make $1 000 000 and so on...

But what if you have several products, one or more at $10, one or more at $47, on or more at $347, on or more at $997 etc...

That way you diversify your income, lower your risks, have more ways to increase the lifetime value of your customers because that what counts actually... The lifetime value of your customer!

Anyway that's my plan

I plan to get shot 10 times. If I survive then I'll become a rapper. Easy million there.

Easy. Hang out with my VC/mentor and do whatever the hell he tells me to do.

I don't expect to hit $1 million this year. However, I do expect to increase revenue by 30% compared to last year, which would be great.

I'm not into going for home runs. I'm taking the slow, but steady approach. I may never hit $1 million a year. But, if I can continue at my current standard of living doing what I'm doing, I'm more than content. In fact, I love doing what I'm doing and the fact I earn enough doing it is really fortunate.

If I mentioned my plan then that would breed more competition. Competition that I don't need to make it exponentially harder for me to succeed by newbs and pros alike,

I would love to be a millionare. But I have never thought that I could get there. I feel that if I make a small fortune that would be enough for me. Just enough to live how I want to live with simple pleasures in life would be good for me. I am happy with what I have now but do think that adding some more to my income would be good as well.

"You Are What You Think!"

I always...always plan high goals and therefore, I work extremely hard to reach them! Never think small...think LARGE!

Everyone reading this can reach 1 Million and more! But you definitely have to put forth the effort!

Let's say you are selling $20 products. You all have the knowledge, tools and skills to reach billions and billions of people online and offline ( don't forget offline marketing: newspaper advertising, post cards and direct mail).

Shhhh...that is my secret tip to everyone!

Again, lets say you are selling $20 products or your affiliate commission will be $20. You only need 138 people to purchase through your link per day.

138 purchases per day x $20= $2,760. $2,760 x 30 days in a month = $82,800. $82,800 x 12 months in a year = $993,600

And it all started from just one 20 dollar product!

You can do it! I have faith in all of you! Just Do It!

I think its important to know some wealthy people before you go on making assumptions about what they did to get rich.

Because there are about a thousand and 1 ways to get rich. It isn't just about math, nor is it even about providing value. Sometimes, just being an unethical, blood sucking leech will suffice. Like my oldest brother, who I don't talk to. He makes mid-high six figures a year, and the last thing I'd say is he's a math wiz or a man who provides value to the world. The true story is that he seems to lack a portion of his brain that controls empathy. And it makes him a great salesman/investor. The most ironic thing is, he has a very large network of friends who have immense respect and comradery for him. But noone in our family respects or likes him.

Then I know another person who does well for himself. This guy is much closer to the 7 figure range. In this situation, value was probably the defining factor of his wealth. However, "value" is still the most relative/vague term in the dictionary. The only reason anyone would consider what he did "valuable", is because noone else thought of it. In reality, it was one of the stupidest ideas a person could think if. But.. it got him rich. It got him on the shelves of home depot. And I think part of the reason why people buy his product, is because it mystifies them like it mystifies me. Like "what the hell is this? do I need it? I'm not sure? but it looks cool? ARGGH I MUST BUY IT NAOW!"

Then there are people who get rich by creating the perception of value. I think the pharmaceutical industry is a great example of this. If you want to release a new pill for post pardum depression, then spend a year exagerating the facts behind it. Publish it in so many different magazines and newspapers that new mothers get depressed just from reading about it so often. Then conviently release a "cure" for it. A cure that doesn't actually do anything. But since you have the money to make people believe whatever you want... it doesn't really matter if the pill works. It won't even matter if it makes new mothers more depressed, because you can just pay lawyers to spin the facts and make yourself richer. As long as it doesn't kill people the same day they take it, you're golden.

The point is, people get rich for so many different reasons. And our idealistic little brains love to think that capitalism is a system based on morals, ethics and real tangible value, but thats not always the case. I'd go as far as saying that money controls many of our morals, ethics and values. Americans don't eat dogs and cats (most of them lol), so you get to see little donation cans for abused dogs and cats when you shop. But whens the last time you saw one for an abused cow? Or a pig?

I'm not trying to paint this grim, ugly picture behind money and capitalism. I think capitalism is great. Because in a capitalistic world, like they say, anyone really can get rich. Stupid people, evil people... nice people. Anyone. And when you realize that its not just the "special people" getting rich, that you truely deserve it like anyone else, thats usually when the magic starts to happen. Its not something you think, its something you must come to believe with every ounce of your being.

This probably sounds like it belongs in the motivational section. But seriously, if you stop putting money on a pedistal, and can convince yourself that you truely deserve it, money will come your way. I'm not "rich", but the more I grow old and become in sync with these concepts of reality, the more money I tend to make.

-Red

If the right person, or, right amount of people buys what you selling you'll get rich. End of story.

Ah... I'm sure someone here has broken it down to how many clicks a day to reach that figure.. Or maybe not. Pour moi...I don't know about th$1M in a year, but my goal is to at least launch the web based TV show (magic). In a free membership site. Provide quality content with video and text. Stand out from the field in being (as Seth Godin would say.. ) remarkeable ( where people actually remark on it to their friends).

That means going a route less travelled No banner ads, no fees, a monthly sponsor in time.

Create that authority then be able to approach 'names', in my field to provide content for a separate low cost ( affiliate driven), membership site and market it to my members... Rinse and repeat.

That's the plan anyway...

JJ

Some people will think I am completely nuts, but at the beginning of this year I did actually set myself a goal of reaching $1 million (within 1 year) and yes, seriously, I don't have a plan.

The reason I set this huge goal for myself was to push my thinking where it would not otherwise go. I know that I need to find new ways of working and also find ways of leveraging what I already do if I am to even get close. But that is my intention i.e. to change my thinking.

So, when I say that I don't have a plan, I mean I don't have a $1 million plan yet. I do have a plan, but my current plan will not deliver $1 million. If I continue to do what I have been doing, I know I will end up earning 5 figures, not 7. But I am optimistic enough to believe that multiplying my results by a factor of 100 is not out of the question for me.

I know that I have begun thinking differently as a result. I value my time much more highly, for example. Already 2 months of the year have passed and it seems like a very large chunk of time to me.

It's still early days, but I believe I have, at least, set a few of the laws of the universe in motion.

Will

...and I plan to do it again in the next 3 years by following pretty much the same model. If it worked once, it's bound to work again - right? But this time I'll bank the cash (instead of spending it - what a year that was!) so I can live off the interest - that's the smart move.

The formula is really simple. But the devil is in the details.

The formula:

1) Find a HOT product which you can sell at a predictable rate in a HOT market. For example: for each X visits you get 1 sale.

2) Ensure you have creatives and landing pages that do their job in converting your visitors to clients

3) As long as the cost of generating the X visits is substantially lower than the profit per sale...

4) ... scale up!

So, if you invest, say, $500 and make 10 sales which result in $1000 turnover - reinvesting it should produce another doubling. And so on.

Naturally, it doesn't always go quite as smoothly as that, but it is certainly possible to achieve this with a little time and experience.

Most products/markets fizzle out at some point, so even a great run will not last forever. But then there are more products...

My plan is to complete my fantasy novel and promote it everywhere on the web till it becomes a huge hit or epic fail. But it is the only way I can think to make $1m this year.

Its got to be a digital product that can be of use to all people, and fully relevant to this age. but this being said many do not like reading from digital devices. so the real question is, what is fully relevant to all people?

A million dollars is a reachable goal in affiliate marketing. I am hoping to get close to this number very soon. We all have to start somewhere though, I began with PPC marketing on Bing Ads!
For the big dollars, high ticket items are the way to go. If you can't do this, then network marketing may also be a good option. This involves alot of team work however!

Personally Keep focusing on building list and product creations selling.

My plan to make 1M this year is to help 1000 people to make $2000 per month in residual!

-Zig Ziglar
R.I.P.

I have secretly aspire to be a millionaire but the truth is, with IM it's a tall goal. Along the line, I went for talent hunt and discovered one hidden treasure in me, singing. These thought came to me in the early 2011.

Today I have my debut released (RnB) two weeks ago and been played across a few radio stations now in my country. Preparing for the video and more songs, the encouragement and positive feedback and love for my song titled "holiday" is enough fulfillment.

Thats what I can being a millionaire not really in cash but the love for what you are doing, the love for your first work from hundreds of people and knowing that I can get there.

Looking for ways to promote international.

I made more than a million last year. A lot more.

Shame it was in Forints and not dollars, though

And you'd have one of the biggest internet marketing product
launches in history.

Also it wouldn't actually give you $1M.

If you talk to some of the people who've done those massive launches there
are other substantial costs including the paypal and credit card fees and in
particular support for your product...then there are refunds.

If you launch a product and sell $1 million worth paying 50% in affiliate fees
then you'd probably be happy to keep 30% at the end of the day.

So it's more like 3,200 sales or a $3.2million dollar product launch.


The guys who've pulled off the $1m dollar plus launches have often spent
years building the kinds of relationships with affiliates so they can make those
kinds of sales.

In many cases they built relationships with other peers who had smaller sized
businesses and as they grew together their partner power to each other grew
too.

Having said that if you were serious I'm betting you could build those
relationships within a year with a pile of key affiliates but you'd probably
need to use direct mail and go to quite a lot of internet marketing seminars
so that might set you back another $100,000 (add another $350,000 to your
$3.2million dollar launch bringing it to $3.5million).

And of course you'd have to find a way to survive, pay the bills and pay the
expenses while you were building those relationships for a year.



Of course the above model assumes you're only going to sell one product.

If you're smart you also have a backend and you might even have downsell
(sell a $100 product to people who don't buy the $1,000 product).

A backend might be $500 or $1,000 a month group consulting with you.

Convert 5% of your buyers to that and you suddenly have a serious income...
100 people at $500 to $1,000 a month = $50,000 to $100,000 a month
income and most is yours to keep (the support and logistics of dealing
with 100 people paying you that much might not be easy to handle
though).



Of course if you really want to make some serious money sometimes
you need to expand your thinking.

If you were selling a service to businesses (internet marketers are
business people too remember) then you might only need 10 people
who pay you $100,000.

Or 10 people who pay you $8,500 a month for a year.

The real question is not so much how much you can charge but how
much value can you deliver.

And what do you believe you can charge (I cover that in this free
report Breaking The Belief Barrier FREE Report ).



Or 4 clients at $250,000 a year.

Sounds crazy until you've met people who do these kinds of figures
year in and year out.

It is possible and it does come down to the kind of clients you deal
with (in other words they need to be able to pay that much) and
the kind of value you can deliver them (you need to deliver real
value.

Logistically if you're a small operation your chances of making a million
dollars a year are much higher selling your services to 4 clients at
$250,000 than trying to sell 3,500 copies of a $1,000 product.

Kindest regards,
Andrew Cavanagh

My plan for this year is not to make $1M (which is not impossible but very unlikely for me) but to increase the quantity and quality of my passive income streams. More money will not make you happier, it is what you need to do to earn it that matters.

local biz consultation, develop my own product and invest the money for bigger traffic media buy and repeat.

Obviously, I arrange lottery syndicate and together we buy thousands of tickets a month. If it does not work, my other business is fairly making me £60k so it will take a while before I get into millions.

Either way, life is very good.

The secret (in Internet Marketing) is to become a coach. Actually, a coach in any niche. Coaching demands high prices, obviously. But, with a coaching program your core program can be almost any kind of product (most likely digital). The value is in having access to a real, live person....

Richard

Look for trends in your niche. What will be the thing that catapults your business ahead of others. Mobile content seems to be the way of the future. So look to sell that high ticket product via your mobile device. Be prepared to work hard, take some chances and take some knocks.

In 1999, I volunteered to go overseas with the military because I was flat broke. I was in debt up to what seemed to be my eyeballs with no completed education and living on a part time line cook's wage from my local watering establishment. Unfortunately for me... I was also into my bar for a few grand as well.

When I was overseas, I realized one night while I was outside in the freezing cold in my flip flops waiting just to use the bathroom - never effing again. I would never let myself get to this place again where I was FORCED to dig my way out like I did that time.

Well, I had a craphole basement apartment with a roomie when I was overseas and we got flooded. When I came home, I literally had nothing except 2 seabags, a loan my local credit union gave me and a few shiny pins to put on my uniform.

The plan went into action and I never looked back. I have not made my first million yet, but every year it seems that much more doable. My baby steps of getting back to school... getting a better job... getting out of debt... investing... trying new things has and it just gets a little bit better year after year.

I am not a rich man, but things are looking better all the time and I know that it could be taken away for any number of reasons, but I will be here plugging away. Trying things. Doing cool and fun stuff on a slow and steady rise. Buying properties, writing books and content, working on my applications.

This year I might not make reach a million, or even close, but things have sure gotten a little easier and my choices have opened up. I will get there.

I WILL get there.

Here's a step-by-step plan (I am not saying these are easy, but 'doable' for most people:

1. Create a high value, high credibility free offer (3 hours of audio would be plenty with no fluff)!

2. Drive traffic to the free offer.

3. Write an email campaign that builds more credibility.

4. Interact with your subscribers and find out what they want and need (those 2 things are not necessarily the same thing).

5. Create products to fulfil those needs.

6. Add all your products to an affiliate platform.

7. Recruit affiliates.

8. Create a (at least one) coaching program.

Do all that well and correctly, $1M should be quite easy....

To sell 10,000 products at $97 each.

My plan is to come up with something innovative that a good amount of people would be interested in, charge them for it, and see the milli at the end. It's a tad foolishness but it all depends on how hard you work to get where you need to be. If it fails, I got other ways to get my green.

sell on amazon

Sell 1000 copies of a $1000 product!

We're not on track to do $1M in 2013, but we are hoping we'll have a fair shot at it in 2014.

We're doing quite a bit of back-end adjustments and putting infrastructure in place through the end of 2013 that (we hope) will allow us to double our business next year.

Like I would tell you!

I would say - build a mobile application and make distributors interested in it's concept. You'll start earning not bad money and with a little bit of luck, a bigger player will hit you up with a buying proposal.

Other than that I am a fan of 'getting rich slowly'. Methodically and systematically building, expanding and creating relationships. The rest comes along with it.

I could sell me website, but cashing now $1.000.000 means loosing the chance to cash +$10.000.000 in 2 or 3 years. But sometimes it is also nice to know what you can have now, because now is real, in 2 years all can be changed.

yeah that's what's cool about the IM space, is that demand is always there and you can make a lot of money w/re-curring billing, etc. However, your product that is priced at $1k better be good and get results for those who buy it, or you're gonna get a lot of refund requests.

But getting that $1M plan starts with the mindset and compounding numbers to reach that goal. So $83K/mo, selling $1k product, is 83 sales a month. So little more than 2.5 sales a day.

Find a product that has a lot of traffic but very little competition and get 3 cent clicks on Adwords and PPV

OK, here's a step-by-step plan:

1. Create a high value (at least $97) front-end offer for free.

2. Drive traffic to that free offer. Massive traffic.

3. Load up a whole series of emails in your autoresponder (at least 30 days).
Build credibility, relationships and give good content.

4. Also, add articles (you can legally take articles from eZine Articles if you
keep the author's bio intact). Also, add relevant affiliate offers.

STOP PRESS: Anything hard, so far?

5. Create 4 x $1,000 products according to the feedback you get, and what
your subscribers want and need.
Here's how to do it:- create a template for each product of around 10 headings
with 10 sub-headings under each. Make sense? 10 x 10 = 100 sub-topics.
(It does not have to be 10 x 10, but you want around 100).
Now - teach an average of 12 minutes on each sub-topic = 2 hours on each topic.
Just record these so it does not take too much time.

6. Hold a teleseminar for each product launch and teach the complete strategy
for an hour, then pitch your product for 30 minutes at a discount. Make the
discount limited (by number and/or time). (You can use MAO Flynn's OTO script).

7. When you've got some idea of numbers, add an affiliate program to each product.
(PM Steve Yakim and ask him about his affiliate software for all your products).

8. Sell 1,000 copies of each. That's $4M. Less 75% to affiliates = $1M.

How's that?

Hard work? Yes. But, what better way to reach that goal, and help a huge
number of people.

You help all your subscribers = ????
You help affiliates.
You help 4,000 people get really good results.

Sounds good to me...

Rule 1on't tell anyone on this forum!

So you don't have to have experience in any of those niches? Just create and sell to some sucker?
shite!

Bernie Manderhoff is proud of your little scam.

he completely by-passes the part about support and results. Typical I.M. scumbag
