can i be successful ?

"Never be intimidated by your challenges. No matter how tough they are, they will bow to your destiny." Many found themselves in worse situation than your own, but because they are determine, they are not in the same situation now. It all depends on your mindset.

Hi Dan, your post caught my eye, as I'm in almost the same situation as you are. I feel I'm right on the edge of success, but not quite there yet. Your goal of $100.00 a day is certainly doable, and it looks like you have done your homework. I think the most important thing is to simply go ahead and put your plan in motion, then see what happens. It would be a shame for you to put in all the hard work that you have already done in preparation, then not launch it due to some unknown factor you are trying to think of, that may not even be an issue anyway! (I call it the IM info overload, and I'm a victim of it too!) I had to stop reading and planning, and start acting! I'm not an expert (yet), but I hope to be soon. I just know that I have been surprised by the results of some of my efforts, sometimes very surprised! I say just GO FOR IT!!! This is my very first post on this forum, and I hope it helps motivate you to earn a living on your own terms, just as I am attempting to do. Keep up the good work, and please post your results! Good Luck!

My advice would be to focus your attention on just one of those sites until it starts to generate money (or the $100/day that you desire) and then move on to the next one.

thanks for the advice guys

Yes, those are certainly achievable goals you just need to put everything youve got into making it happen. Making money online takes a lot of work to get started and eases up once you know what youre doing.

So yes, put in the work and most importantly make sure every step you are taking, every click of the mouse, etc is done to get you one more step towards your goal.


Youll do it man...now get to work!

Yes you can make it. This is probably the perfect opportunity for you - you'll be really driven.

If you're going to sell the sites that aren't quite making it then that will definitely help you keep the money coming in.

If, for the first few months, you don't always meet your income goals, don't be discouraged. It will probably take a few months, but if you work hard and are determined I am sure you can make it.

Give yourself a steady focus, research, research and research some more, once you find the most appropriate niche you would like to get into.

WORK at it and GO HARD!

You can do this mate!

you have to know thats things that you can do, promote it and apply, this steps will bring you much money.

Seems that you have all your plan proper laid out so I don't think that's a problem.
You also have set your target to achieve, full of motivation... I don't see anything lacking. Good luck.

thanks all, this thread has really helped me, and the positive energy from it helps when i start to have doubts.

Quick update. as Zombo put it research research research...
I spent most of last week, finishing my research and have identified my total list of areas. I think there are some big and small winners in there. I've been using market samurai which has really helped remove the high competition areas.
I think I have a good mix of year round interest and a balance between summer and winter specials.

I now have sites up listed, booked marked and backlinked. I guess its a bit of a waiting game for position. In the meantime I am learning from small mistakes as I go. [Don't launch with loads of adword ads ;( ]
I know some of you said to focus on 1 or 2 sites. My plan is to get 20 sites up and listed. Focus on the 2 that show the best profit. Build quality content sites for those two. Then focus on the next two sites that show promise.
My theory being, If i'm forced to sell sites to make money, I should have 1 or 2 earning a small amount by that time.

thanks again for all your support

Hard work dedication and the will to move on even when your not getting to where you want to go means that you have no other choice BUT to be successful. I think that if you really just keep busting down the doors in your mind. Youll see that you can indeed be successful!

If you say, "Can I be successful?" then you are
coming from the belief that you are either not too
sure, or that you are not successful at all.

Any negativity like this will deliver you more of it.

It's better to say, and form the habit:

"I am a successful person"

When you do, your perspective on the world
and the people in it will change and they will
see you as a success. If you don't see yourself
as successful, nobody else will either.

Success starts from within...

So how does it feel to be a great success?

Nice, isn't it?

The answer as we know is yes. How sometimes seems to be the real question. What I would like to suggest if I may is checking out Andy Fuehl's Wealth Without a Job. The program I believe is in book for or through Nightingale Conant. It has some good information for honing your focus. Andy started from a similar place. Best wishes.

Guys, just a quick update.

I have made my first $2.50 from a couple of adsense sites.
Thanks for the help.

Well done Dan, thats a good start trust me!

Yes you can do it. Because I am doing alright with just building websites and doing my own SEO. If you are talking about investing money in backlinks and whatnot you are going to blow it through the roof.

Good luck my friend. $100 a day is something I am working on right now. I hope you much success in your adventures. I have a full time job and am able to get about 10% of what you are trying to achieve I cannot imagine if I actually had time to put it in like you.

Good luck my friend again and you can do it!

I am totally rooting for you!!!

Like many others have already said, it looks like your motivation is in place and you have the time to dedicate to your business. Make the best of it and keep it as formal as possible to make sure that you are staying on track, what I mean is have a schedule and deadlines and goals, etc.

You can do it!!!

Thanks for all the Positivity guys.

Hi Dan Jensen, I'm behind you all the way. It sounds like you're focused to get the tasks done for each site. I know that I've been side tracked several times when I take on too much. Just based on my experience it seems to work better when I focus on one project and get it running successfully and then move on to the next project. If I were to add any recommendations to you. I would focus on getting one site up and running. Good luck in your online ventures and I look to hear more about your success.

GO fellow warrior...

Yes, you can, if you work harder and smarter. It looks like you are on your way now. And when you start to make money, try using paid methods as they bring traffic must faster on average, and you can really start to bank money and double your income month upon month. Just do not waste all your money on one campaign that doesnt' work!

Absolutely- yes- you must go for it.

I am in a similar situation, or at least the part wher I am now working for myself.

I have created multiple blogs, and I concentrate on the article marketing method, as well as blogging.

By writing qualioty, you are helping other peolle to improve, as well as promote your business ventures at the same time.

I understamnd that it can be ahard in the beginning, but this business works on momentum as well.

Essentially, put in a huge effort initially, wehich gets easier as you go, and once the wheels are tuyrning, and you build up a marjet base, you are away.

Remember, try to build in a system of repeat customers, which I call clients,a s you want repeat business.

Lokk after them, and build up a list, and a 'relationship ' with them.

All the best

Martin

I recommend you look at my success tips in a few minutes a day, as they have massively helped me.

I felet I had reached a wall as well, and knew I had to climb over it.

Keep going, and pushharder.
If you DESIRE it , you will have it, through ACTION

Martin

Of course you are going to do it...your post was well written and focused. I can only assume that is how you work as well. Focus is the key!

Thank you all for your warm words. I draw energy from this thread each day.
The biggest surprise I am finding at the moment is how much of my skills, training and mind tools from my previous career are helping. I used to create products for the food industry, all though some the technical aspects are different. The rest is almost exactly the same.

This last 2 weeks I have been working on my first internet product, I must admit learning is steep at this point. I aim to have it issued as my first WSO this Thursday Friday.

Thanks again for all the positivity.

Never share your business niche, and ur biz will be fine

Well guys I glad to say the actions keep coming. And my goal of getting to $100 a day is underway.

Today I launched my first WSO Product. if your interested click here
Hopefully people will like it and it will help me get close to my target.

Thanks again for all the support

You may face a tough start but stay strong and never give up.. Be open to some changes and always search for opportunities.. Don't stop learning because continuous learning creates success! :-)

It's great watching someone go through the same situation that I did. Man just keep at it. I'm not even there yet, but I can see the light and it's shining. Just keep at it, but don't overkill it

Dan,

Back in 1999 the company I worked for went out of business. I had a part time web biz going, and rather than looking for work or collecting unemployment I decided to see what I could do going at the web biz full time. I'm still 100% self-employed. If I can do it, I ain't no rock scientist, I believe you can do it too.

Are you selling any of your own products from any of these sites? Are you building a mailing list? That's where the largest percentage of my money comes from.

"Never rely in just 1 method.. Try everything and anything." and "If its success, its good but if its failure, its experience"

Interesting thread.

I like that you have now learned that choosing a single horse to ride is better than trying to ride several. It is a lesson that many never learn and, of course many people with something to sell will encourage you to lose your focus.

When I started out in 2005 I needed money. I had no real income other than from my online business and I actually had to earn money from day one. There was no option to live off savings.
What I did was to look for ways to service others and get paid for it.

The common mantra in the 'internet marketing' world is to build passive streams of income. As an ideal it is great but as you have found it is an ideal and often not translated into solid revenue at the beginning.

You have gone down the route of providing services, exchanging time for money (your keyword research income stream), even if indirectly, this is a good choice because you can get immediate returns for your efforts and this can be both heartening and pay the bills.
Later your passive income streams will build and you may well find yourself shuttering the actions that require time for money.

The only caveat I'd make in respect of your exchanges of time for money is that one should, as far as is possible, keep those active income streams in the same niche area as your passive income streams, this enables you to crossover your resources and time.
For example, if your membership site is about making perfect pizzas then the keyword research thingy may be too far away from your ongoing biz to enable you to focus well on both and to keep an active mindset for both.
Doing pizza making mentoring (is there such a thing?) at the same time as your pzza membership site is a good fit and enables a good crossover from one biz to the other which multiplies your income nicely.

I think you will find your way, you have gone a few months now and not surrendered. I remember it took me about 10 months to get to my first $1000 week. My first $4000 month followed shortly after. It can be done, even though most will never get so far.
I made a post a few minutes ago that might be relevant: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post1663967

Thanks Mbrig.

Yeah thats my new year resolution, My ability to cram 8-14 hours straight on a PC is not good longterm.

I totally agree with you with regards the exercise and we actually bought some gym gear this weekend.

I'm always amazed at how productive I am when I excercise and how reluctant I am to do it

thanks for your post

The answer is "Yes" and you only need your permission to do so.

I made a post that you might want to check to give yourself that extra energy, motivation and focus and you can find it here

You can do it!

Dan,

Rather than ask "Can I be successful?", restate the phrase as "I can be successful!"
Rather than ask "Can i make it?" Restate the phrase as "I can make it", then make this into an affirmation "I am making it! I am taking action every day to get me closer to my goal"

Successful people control and direct their inner dialogue. You must do the same and do it frequently and consistently and success will be yours. Go for it! I hope this helps.
--GaryB

Gary, at least he's not asking how likely he is to fail

And it depends on whether or not you believe you can or not....that's seriously the biggest variable.

Yes, you can.
This answer is the best for your thread. No one can tell you that you can't do something except yourself. So grow you confidence and desire for your achievement. This thread is a nice idea for that. Hope it will inspire you.

Just wanted to let everyone know that it has been very inspirational reading all of the post. I too have been strugling for the last 6 to 7 months on trying to figure this thing out. A whole lot of self doubt has crept in and out of my head, and I know thats my biggest enemy or demon if you will. I have an awesome mentor and other good coaches behind me, however, I know it's up to me. After reading these post I will continue to keep my head up and keep busting my tail to make this work for my family.

Yes you can do it. Make sure you construct very clear steps you are going to take to achieve your monetary target.

Yes you can do it. Make sure you identify your skill gaps and act on them now.

Yes you can do it. Be prepared for knocks, be prepared for doubts, take control of your conflicting inner messages.

Yes you can do it.
