    My amazing secret?

    I didn't buy every stupid pack, ebook or bit of software advertised on DigitalPoint that promised to make me an overnight millionaire.

    Cool, huh?

    :cool:

    ??? :confused: how did you earn $50k? (and that's not near a million yet :p it's still a huge sum though!)

    How did you make it? Selling powder? Weren't you ranting about losing $10 with TDNAM not so long ago?

    Maybe it's because people who are "rich" save every penny :p

    I call that being a tightass, not rich :p Seriously if you earned 50K in 6 months, more power to you, but if your crying over $10 I have my doubts.

    Did anyone actually read the headline or the post? Just curious since nowhere do I say I earned $50k.

    btw, $10 is $10 and it was the principle not the money.

    The reason I remember the thread was because you tried to expose a loophole in tdnam to screw other sellers :rolleyes:

    I wasn't trying to screw other sellers. I was trying to highlight what was already happening. I'd contacted tdnam but got nowhere so I did the only thing I could think of - wrote about it on one of the busiest webmaster forums.

    He did not EARN 50k, but SAVED 50k.
    Congrats, I bought a lot of silly stuff too (but not for 50k :D)
    But stopped believe in it.

    Thats a great way to save money, I have started taking that approach and only buying what I absolutely have to have. DP has so many great offers but...

    If you managed to save yourself $50000 in 6 months not buying stupid things on dp, you probably don't need to earn money online. You can simply live with the money you save not trying to become a millionaire.
