We're all here to try and produce an income online. Many succeed and many more fail (in one way or another). Finding success online isn't easy and it certainly doesn't happen overnight. Some people have supplemented their 'traditional' income, others have produced six, seven, or even eight figures. So, where do you stand? Are you making money online? I'm looking for individuals who have been able to achieve the dream of turning a profit online. Maybe you run a blog or a few content sites, maybe you have something much larger. Either way, I'd like to hear about your experiences and interview you for an online blog. If this sounds like something you're interested in, tell me a little more about yourself and what do you. This is a great opportunity for me to learn more about you, how people are navigating the online business industry, and to produce content. It's a great opportunity for you to get exposure and traffic! Win-win, right? So feel free to share below, or via PM, and I'll be in touch! I think that we can all learn a lot from one another - from both successes and mistakes. Let's make it happen!
I began freelance writing with just a blog and I used apply for writing jobs in Craigslist, Guru.com and from online classified ads. I worked for many clients in US, UK, China and India. Now I have my website. Local clients place their orders and I work for them. I gained expertise in blogging, SEO articles and article writing in several niche. Additionally I gained good practice in resume writing. Freelance writing requires a lot of writing practice until you gain good reputation. Thank you
I did almost everything which can make money online. Then I failed... However, now I'm on the way to make $1000 a month. Of course, this isn't a huge amount of money. But it's a good start. I failed enough and ready to become successful now. The most important thing why many people fail because they quit before they succeed. "Winner never quit. Quitter never win!"

Thank you @gentilly it's been an interesting journey but I think the best is yet to come. Thank you for kind works, inspires me a lot
I was in the same situation. I started online in 2009 but it took me multiple attempts at creating businesses until I started making money. I spent a lot on WSOs and on Adwords before I finally started getting things going. The key is to keep learning and to take action every day. If you do that you won't fail. You only fail if you stop trying.
I started 8 years ago, now I have SEO compamy with my friend... We have lot of satisfied clients so I am satisfied too. It takes lot of time and experience
It's not so difficult. Consider that 90% of failing guys are usually unexperienced and unskilled. Also, if you dream big sums, you can change your goals right now. Since we are not talking about big sums. The real thing is having multiple small incomes and this can be done.
Lots of people fail at IM because of information overload and the inability to focus on one specific thing/method. I have earned money online on and off over the last 6 years mainly by ranking affiliate sites on Google. Most of them got wiped out from Google updates and so I needed to try new business models like email marketing etc.
I earn money by providing graphic / web design services, blogging and selling templates. Took some time, but it's my business for a while and it does pay the bills.
Thanks, everyone! I've reached out to some of you with interview questions! This is going to be a great opportunity for you to share what you've learned and get some exposure at the same time! Please feel free to keep sharing on this thread! I'm interested in hearing from others, as well!
My online venture is one big fat joke complete with every single mistake you can make. I've tried several different methods but all ended up to be crap. It did start to pay off then google created that penguin thing to rank corporations and hollywood and I was back to square one. I earn around $400 a month. I have this problem where I don't like to rip off people, scam, and do sneeky tricky methods so that is probably where my blame lies for my lack of success.
