Is anybody out there ACTUALLY making $500 a week online?

    I'm just sick of all the claims of making tens of thousands a day, hundreds of thousands a week, and millions a month! The math just doesn't support it.
    I have a friend who has been selling a product online for 10+ years and makes about $70-$90K a year. I can see feel and touch him and know he does that.
    I'd just like to talk to some other people making believable money online. No I won't buy your get rich scheme!

    Yes. Lots of people are making at least $500 a week online. As long as
    you continue with your current attitude you will probably not be one of them.

    No.
    It's only a Myth.
    Actually most of the people claiming things like that are doing it for the fun of it. :)

    On a side note- Indeed most of these claims aren't backed up by numbers but it's only a strategy to absorb you into their niche hive. Once you start making money for them or buying their products you'll have made your purpose.
    People who make loads of money out of this business know how to keep quiet and not reveal their secrets. It's only natural to squeeze as much as possible out of that.
    I personnaly know marketers that reach 100k+/month. It can happen- Just work harder!

    I do. It has taken some time and a LOT of work to get to the point of making a livable income but it can happen. Here's the thing: nobody can make gazillions of dollars by only clicking a few links a day or, as is usually advertised: doing nothing. It takes a long time to get up to the level that many of the six figure internet marketers are at.

    If you are self employed, then $500 per week isn't that much at all, probably only just to live on. I bet the majority of people who are full time webmasters make $700 minimum per week. Otherwise, they should probably go back to their day job ;)

    It's not that hard if you set your mind to it, most people just mope around thinking about what they can do, instead of just f**king doing it!

    Just alittle get up and go and some spark about you, that's all it takes!

    I can assure you that alot of serious members here at DP are earning well in excess of $500/week online. If you think about it, thats only $2,000-$2,500 a month, which isn't exactly a great wage. You can live off it for sure, but it's not a salary that is gunna give you everything you want.

    I personally have been working online for the last 2 years online since I left school, and it has taken alot of starting investment, time, and patience to get me in the situation I am in now. Working and earning good money online really isn't a farfetched idea - in fact, I am almost certain that within the next 10-20 years the amount of people deriving a full income and career from the internet will double or triple, at least.

    Yes ... it takes much effort and a great deal of trial and error. Don't give up.

    $500/day is even only $15k/month... In most big cities that is 'ok' money; I know enough people working online from London or Amsterdam who have 8-12k mortgage payments/month. 15k wouldn't be that cool even.

    $500/day is a lot of money, $180,000 per year. If you earn that in England, then you're doing pretty well for yourself, double or maybe even triple above the national average salary. Although you won't become a millionaire for some time earning this (mortgages, food bills, tax etc), but you'll certainly be pretty well off!

    I'm not saying you're doing bad ; you're doing very well with that kind of $ but it is not strange or even rare to have that. I know a lot of people around me doing that or more, online and offline.

    If you aren't making that a week online then you'll be dead when the real world dies out in 10 years and the only thing left is the internet. LOL well not really but if you don't get on the ship soon you never will.

    Don't worry about what other people are making online. All you need to concern yourself with is that it is possible to make money online and it is possible to make A LOT of money online.

    Look at the market that you want to work in. Are people buying products or services in that market? Is there money there? If so, then it is possible for you to make money there. Set a goal for yourself and take ACTION to achieve that goal. Compete against your own goal, not what other people claim to be making online.

    You must first BELIEVE before you can RECEIVE. Believe in yourself and believe in the possibilities.

    Your attitude is the reason you do not make any money online. Just keep on going if you really want to make things work. Get rich quick doesnt work if you dont use your brains. The fact that you allready say I wont buy your schemes, tells us all that you have not really searched in the right directions.

    Our hosting company makes your amount in less than a few hours. You are always allowed to check this at the Dutch chamber of commerce. Im not here to brag about ourselves, but you just need to stick to what you want to do. If you want to make money online you need to really do stuff, dont just think about it.
