Big Money, Whats wrong with Bragging!

    I find the making money online is not big secrete. But when it comes to people expressing how much they have really made, it is all hush hush.

    Whats wrong with celebrating your earnings, and expressing to people how much money you have made while online. Everyone else dose it, rappers, movie stars, big coroprations and nothing happens to them. If anything happens more people tend to spend more money on them. So why cant you do it, as an online marketer. Why can't you let people know that your are bling blinging it???

    its very simple. people that know how to make big money online are too busy doing just that and not interested in showboating. and then you have the posers that make a bunch of absurd claims to sell their overpriced ebooks, and even then they hardly make any money.

    Yeah you are right, I read a post today where a guy claimed he made $3000 in his first hour, but stated that his site was only 2 weeks old.

    But, I know the big money makers are out here doing their thing, but, haven't you ever recieved that big check in the mail and just wanted to tell somebody?

    I understand what you're saying. At first, yes, but instead of celebrating achievements I like to try to challenge myself to do better. All I'm saying is the legitimacy of anyone's big claims is negated by the sales pitch that usually follows.

    $200+/day is definitely something you should be proud of, but I wouldn't necessarily say it's anything to brag about.

    $200 a day can be quite respectable, especially if you only work a few hours a day to earn it.

    I'm earning more than that but I have to work more hours to accomplish it.

    People probably don't say how much they make because they don't want 3000 e-mails a day asking them how they did it ^^

    There is another reason to keep revenue confidential..

    Let's say you are selling blue pocket protectors and making a killing because of the lack of competition in your niche.. You go out and start telling people how much money you are making selling these things.. Next thing you know there are several dozen new competitors in your niche and your revenue takes a hit because there are more people taking bites out of your business..

    Why would you want to do that to yourself??

    There is a reason why some people go out of their way to tell you certain niches are dead ;p

    Exactly, it's all fairly secretive. If I came out and told you all I'm making 10k+ per day, none of you would believe me anyways.

    That is a really good point.. I see where you are taking this.. But what if your niche is selling information products. Would bragging about your profits increase your success or hurt it?

    You say you earn t $1000 in a day on these forums, you'll receive a million private-messages asking you how you did it, simple. That's exactly why people don't brag about it.
