Always nice to hear about someone’s success.

I started reading about bum marketing and it sounds great. I am in the process of starting writing articles and doing squidoo.

If you do mind me asking, did you do any coding for your blog? Did you have help from someone? I do not know whether to use a wordpress theme or have one constructed. I do not see many themes that would fit my needs. If they do, I think I still need to code it.

Your input is greatly appreciated.

I have all my eggs in one basket right now using BANS and the ebay affiliate program. I am educating myself on how to diversify and your blog has been such a help. My plan is to create some wordpress affiliate sites, and squidoo lenses. Also the GPT program you outline. I am creating a list of family and friends that I think can help me out there.

Keep up the great work and welcome back from your well earned family vacation. Can’t wait to see what you have in mind for all of us.

It’s a peach, hon =)

You are what Scott Boulch calls a DoRu, as you actually do something real as opposed to just hyping the latest greatest piece of crap that comes along.

This is another great post in a long history of great posts here…

Eat a peach!

@Wachovia Online Banking – You are SO right! At LEAST 90% don’t stick around. They give up out of lack of results, lack of money…. or sheer frustration. While 8 months is NOT a long time in the ‘big picture’ of life, it certainly isn’t an over-night success, either.

The system I outline for free at 6 Step Niche Sites is the exact system that was my ‘tipping point’ as far as affiliate/internet marketing. Owning your own money making websites is THE way to really make all this work.

@Cowy – Thank you!! No, $50 a day just won’t cut it income-wise here in the Atlanta area, but you’re right – for IMrs in other countries, this amount of money could be life-changing. Thank you for pointing that out =)

Your story of having your one big site stuck in the ‘sandbox’ is a very common story. It is also the reason I advise ‘newbies’ to NOT go that route right out of the gate. It’s the ol’ “all your eggs in one basket” concept that causes many to give up online.

Thanks for reading, everyone!!!

Waiting for the next post 🙂

Thanks for sharing your story. These are very inspiring. I think that the first 8 months of learning to make money online is a fascinating journey. Everyone needs to flounder around for a little while.

Unfortunately, 90% of those who start don’t stick with it long enough to find their way to $50 a day. I am not there yet, but I am getting closer. I feel pretty good because I do this at night after my fulltime job.

Would you please elaborate on your tipping point for when you started making a lot more than $50 per day?

My turning point was at about that same time as yours. About a month later 🙂

Good honest people willing to share what they learned just to help other people. That’s who newbies should look for, and here they would find one!
