My Internet Marketing Success Story

Discussion in 'General Marketing' started by Isadore Gregory, Aug 20, 2013.

    Hi Guys, I'm here to share my story of success (in my own measure) when it comes to internet marketing. I lost my job some 3 years ago and that drove me to research for ways on how to earn income other than having a job, and I found myself using the internet to find answers. I started out really really full of hope and enthusiasm, and then months came by and I still wasn't earning anything. I started to lose hope and think earning money online isn't possible.

    But instead of fully giving up, I picked myself up again and implemented strategies one thing at a time. I begin to have confidence in myself. I focused not on the results but on my daily action plans. I began to enjoy the process and stopped thinking about earning money online. When I finally received my first $50 earnings, that gave me more confidence and conviction, that yes, it is possible to earn online. Since then, I never looked back. I continued to learn as much as I can about internet and affiliate marketing.

    Fast forward to today, I am now earning not lower than $1000 a month and all of it, because I did not give up. Hope my story becomes a source of encouragement for some people who are struggling out there. :) Thank you for reading my post.

    Helge Sverre, thank you for taking the time to read. You are right. I forgot whose famous line that was, that most people quit when they are very near victory!

    Hi Isadore,
    Thanks for the inspiration that not giving up and keep on trying is the only way to go.
    I spent five years of trying before I found the success that I was looking for!
    The more you learn you better you will become.

    At last, a success story that doesn't sound too good to be true and thus way "closer" to the newcomer, which in term reinforce its power of motivation. Thanks for sharing that.
    You pointed out two important things people starting this business should keep in mind: don't expect earning even only 3 figures income within the first day, or even the first months, and above all, don't give up.

    Great stuff man. Sticking with it for 3 year is tough. I have only been serious for about 7 months.

    Hey good for you! Really happy that you are doing well now! Continue to explore the endless possibilities of online earnings my fellow guru! But what's next for you?

    Earning even more money? Or have you decided on doing something else? Or enjoy what money can buy you in life~

    For me it was helping people. From the ground up. I mean, i provide them with the materials and teach them how to use it, but traffic they have to do themselves man. traffic generation is something everyone must learn and do themselves.

    Little dissappointed. I thought you were going to actually share a story on how you did it. What did you do? Would love to read about what you did, how you were successful and what details led you to actually make money.

    Focusing on one thing, and one thing only is where people usually falls. It is especially true when you have no idea what are you doing. And that makes it very difficult to continue doing the same thing each days with no results. Best bet is to get a mentor, or follow a proven blueprint where others have succeeded as well.

    Howard, thank you for your response. I'm sure you'll go a long way with providing information to people. That is how it should be. I have learned in an internet marketing course that providing free but valuable information is one of the best ways for you to build trust to your subscribers and eventually they would want to do something for you, which is to buy your products for example, or sign up for a mentoring program, if you are offering one.

    I think we all should be sharing our success stories and it will be useful to briefly explain it as well.
