    Hi...

    My first few years I mostly lurked silently on the board (this was a LONG time ago, when they still had the old version of the Warrior Forum).

    I tried a few things and made money here and there, but nothing substantial or lasting.

    Then I created my first info product to specifically sell as a WSO. I had my first taste of success with "The 30 Day Bum Marketing Blueprint". This was when "bum marketing" was the new thing.

    That gave me the funds to work with a programmer and create a software product. Again, this was specifically to be sold as a WSO. This led to my first $1000 day.

    From there, things sort of took off. I have had my peaks and valley, and have had to start completely over a few times.

    But failure is part of the learning process.

    The time frame to success with internet marketing is different for everyone. It might take one person 3 months to find success. Another 3 years, even though they are targeting the exact same niche and with the same monetization method.

    No concrete answers.

    Much Success,

    JoeMack

    Instantly I started with PPC almost 10 years ago with a free download and I would run those PPC campaigns, shit my pants when I saw the bill, and quickly shut it off. I would create a sales letter to monetize, make enough to pay the bill and have a nice profit, turn it back on and do it again.

    It was funny though every 2-3 weeks I would shit my pants and rinse and repeat.

        About 5 months to make some real money.

        But now after 2 and a half years, I'm happily making about $200/day passively from quite a few web based things. I'm still not full time when it comes to making money online.

    I started in 2007 with eHow's WCP program (ah, the memories.) For whatever reason Google just loved eHow to death. Almost any simple article would bring in at least $1 per day, so I was making money merely a month after I started writing for the site. It paid my bills for at least an entire year, although I decided to get an overnight job later to supplement my income.

    I started working on e-commerce and it took off in one year. Now I'm working on informational products. If you do it right it should be quicker than one year.

    What a dumb question. How does knowing how long it took complete strangers to make decent money online impact on you or benefit you personally in any way at all?

    Nice exposure for your signature link though :rolleyes:

      No question is a "dumb" question if you're genuinely interested in the answer! I was actually thinking of creating a similar thread, and I have no site to promote in my sig.


      I don't think the question was asked because he/she thinks it'll benefit his/her personal IM goals, but maybe he/she is just genuinely curious (like myself) how long it took others to be successful! (And yes I know that word is subjective, and people have different answers of what success is... but most people have a general idea of how long it took them to be "successful")


      I'd like to know how long it took others to really start making money because I believe it's inspirational... hearing others stories.


      To answer the OP's question... I haven't really made much other than about $30 doing PPC and CPA offers. I'm in the process of creating content for my own site where I will use list building strategies to make money from email marketing. I HOPE to do this and be successful enough (a few grand a month I'd be happy with) in about 3-6 more months, allllllllllll depending on how much work I put into and how quickly.

    It didn't take me too long to begin making a consistent income online. The faster you take "massive action" the quicker you will begin to see results and be able to quit your day job.

    It took me around 8 months but that was back in 2000 when many niches used to acquire traffic through sites known as top sites or top100. Google was full of spam at that time. Then I made money here and there and it took me some years to learn about SEO, video marketing, and so on.

    I'm always looking for new methods so I'm not working to start making money anymore but to make more and get my sites stable.

    This is a weird question, i mean the way you phrased it. ??

    I did not do very well online till I build a list of freebie seekers and then a list of my buyers.

    Once I did that, I got married and now owned two houses outright. So does listbuilding work, well...YES! Try that. and then nurture your lists and see what happens. I thought it was crap till I got a mentor and he showed me how to do this properly.

    There is no way to answer this question because you didnt say what your doing. Thats like saying .. how long does it take a business to turn a profit?

    Well for myself, I started making money online around 5 years ago when I began working on freelance websites, I made money the very first week. So how long did it take me? 1 week. However if I was affiliate marketing Im sure it would have taken much longer.

    If you want to earn, do an online work. If you are good at IM, then do it.
    It somehow takes up to 6 months or more. Just hard work my friend.

    I get this question all the time.

    Really, how long it takes to make money is going to be determined by you.

    How long do you think it will take you to learn a new business model and implement the marketing strategies to build it? If you can answer this question, then you know how long it will take for you to make money online.

    Much success to you,

    Lawren

      It's still a dumb question and as for inspiration, you should need no more than your children, your family, and yourself. If you're that weak minded that you need any other inspiration to go out there and kick ass then the Mind Warriors section of WF is the place to be, not cluttering up the main board with nonsense.

      Who's bitter? I provide a reasonable answer to a dumb question and suddenly you think I'm bitter. If you believe it will help the OP in any way by you stating how long it took you to make money in IM, then go ahead and tell him. I guarantee it won't benefit him one iota.

      My point is that these type of threads are of no use, offer no value, and serve only to fill what is supposed to be the main, serious IM board with pointless questions. If that's being bitter then hey, the majority of WF users must have lemon or lime juice coursing through their veins.
