    Hi, everyone

    I feel quite happy this week because of my little achievement in twitter.
    My twitter account only have 30 followers in past two months, but it grows up suddenly to almost 200 followers now, just in one week!
    I don't use any software or twitter tools yet. So, I think this is good enough for me :) This feeling may be as good as you earn your first dollar online!

    Althogh this may be nothing to anyone here. I just hope that I can hear some success stories from you. I am in my journey to success in IM now.

    Cheers!

    Write good content, and give it away for free, providing it gets people to your site. That's given me the most success. I now run several websites and earn money purely from adsense.

    Agreed. My first site 10 years ago was first just assembling information for me, and in time others found it. Now I make money without even having to work on the site. More time now to build other sites.

    I recently started my site The King Cartel. A media based site that applies to a niche market but also the mainstream. I've been up for about 8 days and have a ranking of 1,491,969.. made some money from adsense in that time but always keep it moving. Its a ton of work but I love it.

    I started right here on DigitalPoint asking a few questions but mostly reading and applying the things that I learned. It took me a couple of months to get over the initial "information overload" but when I did, that's when things started to pay off.

    I started making Wordpress sites based on products I wanted to promote and ramped them up using basic SEO. After I had some good, residual cash flow coming in I started to wonder into PPC advertising, re-investing everything I could back into my business.

    You HAVE to treat this as a business. That means that not everything that needs to be done with necessarily be fun, but it's all a means to an end.

    Hi There,,

    My name is Farzad Taghavi, I am a seventeen year old male student living in The Netherlands. Going to study Internet Marketing in College in about two months. I have been interested in Internet Marketing for a while now. Pursued my dreams and goals almost a year ago, my goals where to be successful on the Internet and to be able to make enough money so I could pay my College intuition and have no debt.

    After some beginners mistakes and a lot of thrown away money, I found something worth investing my time and money in. I found a great company it is called GDI or you can say Global Domains International. This is a company that provides dot WS domains, as the dot COM domains are almost taken for everything. They also provide your WS domain with web hosting, this only costs 10$ a month. This 10$ is nothing compared to what you get from them. Next to there Web hosting services they provide you with an option to make money online and to create a residual income for life. I started out a while ago with no success, had no knowledge on how to market GDI and how to get people to sign under me. Had a total of three people under me and then I decided NO I cannot proceed like this if I want to achieve my goals and dream. You see a lot of people think that making money online is easy and that you can earn money while you are a sleep.

    WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!!!!!

    Let me tell you this, Making money online has to be considered as a REAL BUSINESS!! Instead of waking up and riding to you work, you are working from your own home. You have to have discipline, concentration, and determination to be able to make money online!!!

    So going back to GDI, I decided for my self that I would have to change everything. I need to understand how to get people in my downline and what it takes do achieve this. I searched the whole net to find ways and methods to do this. Here I found a new revolutionary system that is designed on the principles of Profit Sharing Marketing. This system was a MLM downline builder called The DreamTeamFormula, I contacted the maker and asked a lot of questions so that I would know how this system would work for me. This system is created in such a way that when you sign up the people above you (your upline) would first need to fill your downline before there downline will grow further. This is called Spillover, this helps you to grow your downline in a rapid tempo.

    I joined this system, and was immediately welcomed to this system by my great team. They offered me all there help, I learned how to market GDI, where to look for people and understand that this takes some time and you need to put effort in to this. So I suggest that if you are lazy you should stop reading right now and go find a day job or a other way to earn your money, cause MLM is not build for lazy people.

    So for the ones who are interested, my upline team learned me a lot, and GDI turned out to be a success. So if I had all of this knowledge back then I would be rich by now, No I'm just kidding. No seriously if I had all of this knowledge I would been successful by now.

    So do you want to be in a winning team, a team that helps you, trains you and guides you all the way. Then come and take a free tour, see for yourself if this system is attractive enough. You do not have to take my word for it, I am just spreading the word about this new and great system.

    No money that you have to invest, A free system made to do just one thing and that is to help others.

    If you want to sign up right under me so I will be your upline and so that you will profit of my great team.

    Just shoot me a PM and I will give you more info

    Kind regards,

    Farzad Taghavi

    True! The day I treated my online venture as a business was the day I had my success running towards me..I file my expenses, execute my campaigns as scheduled, work within a given timeframe and initiate income targets...Communicate and network with people in the business. Sounds boring doesn't it? But that's the way to go Im afraid...

    My name is Manuel Marino and I'm a Music Composer... don't know exactly if this is a marketing success story, but sure it is an Internet success story.

    When I was on Mp3.com I've been in the Top New Age Chart for months.. means the Top 100 artists worldwide for that genre.

    I had thousands inclusions in cable music channels, radio channels, I can say for sure more than 250000 fans and millions of downloads.

    Now I'm working on games soundtracks only, since games are one of my passions, but lately I'm working on documentaries as well, and there will be movie projects too.

    My first success came 5 years ago when I sold my first website on Ebay for $300. Since then I have quit my job at NASA (Houston) and started a web design firm. I now make around $4800 per month by selling a kit that helps other website owners increase their online sales and leads. Everything is possible with hard work :)

    Hard work, dedication, and the willingness to change. This is the only way to be successful is that last phrase willingness to change which most people do not hard work yes dedication yes willngness to change not so often and thats how they fail.

    I'm giving you the always forgot rule in DigitalPoint forum: Work hard for a long period if you want cash!!!

    Do not believe in webs that will bring you money for doing nothing till the first day of purchasing their program.

    I can't believe how people still buying to this kind of morons.
