wow, so it was an 'eye opener'
that's awesome. my first realizations were also eye-openers. much didn't work out as it should, but i suppose that experience itself prepares one for the shifting challenges of online industries as a whole.nice to see how many guys represent their new income by treating family First!

Goddamn seems like every swingin dick here makes $1000 a day. Makes me think I'm doing something wrong.
My first $100 day was a little over a year ago. All adsense money. I didn't really think much of it, because I already had $300 a day as my goal way before I hit the hundy mark. I always told myself that if I could do $300 a day, that would be what I would need to pay the bills and be doing ok. Now that I've blown past that, the $1000 a day is my next goal. Let me tell you, it's tough with SEO. I really need to add some PPC/PPV chops to my repertoire.

Yeah it's tough with SEO, but It has been very reliable for me in the long run. Especially if you're diversified with adsense, affiliate products and such.
I've made insane amounts of money with rebills but usually get spanked somehow in the end. Google slaps or bans, the offer gets capped, the offer expires, good offers turn to shit from shaving, someone gets sued, ad infinum...And that's mostly from SEO. I can only imagine the stress the major PPCers deal with.
Maybe I'm just being a vagina, but I really like building an empire and having something to show for my Red Bull fueled all-nighters.
I remember my first $100 profit day. It was a little under a month after I started and after countless failed campaigns. It felt so awesome to finally be successful even if it was just $100. I didn't buy anything. I just went back to work and scaled it to shit.
Same for $1000 profit day and beyond!

I had my first $700 day when I had a day job. I relaxed and sit on my ass for a week. (Bad idea) It dropped off after 2 weeks.
I had my first 2k day when I did not have a day job. I didn't relax because I got no job salary to fall back on. Been hustling ever since.

I remember my first $200 off a PPC campaign. That shit got me so motivated, that my productivity increased 5 fold, and have done much better since. And that was after probably about 8-10 months of constant failing before I hit that campaign.
What I found in affiliate marketing is that the more money you have, the more you'll make "guaranteed". Nowadays, when putting up new campaigns, I just throw a bunch up on my traffic source and see what sticks. Maybe like 10% of them actually break even or profit right away, and I start optimizing and banking of them. Thing is, those 90% probably took away several thousand per each test, but like I mentioned, if you have the money, you're bound to keep making things work. If I didn't have the money, then I couldn't afford risking on that 90%, so it would really either slow down or kill my chances of making things work.
Not sure if anyone feels like this, but who here also gets bigger enjoyment from being successful in making money, then spending the money. Like I love making money more than spending it.

Yet to hit 100$ a day. I remember my first $20 day, i got some idiot to sign up on CU. Only a hundred leads per sale, I coulda scaled up to like $40-60 the next day, but I felt bad, and was like hell no. This shit is weird. :repuke:
Now Im trying SEO.

Good Post.
Personally, I'm yet to hit that day. Had some momentum with leadgen but no real budget to scale with.
What you said about having money to test has hit me hard, since I have a ton of debt. Took a day job to stabilize until I can jump back in and make it work.
Like you said I'm definitely loving the idea of making money more than spending it.
Still waiting for the $1000 mark (£676)! Will hopefully get there soon. I'm another one of those heading down the arduous route of SEO.
I remember my first (and so far only) $51,000 day.
The next day, I lost $15,000 in Atlantic City. The only reason I didn't spend more was because the bank cut me off. After three requests, they said they can't raise the daily debit card limit any further without me actually coming to a branch and signing some paperwork. That probably saved me.
The saddest part is that I was up $30,000 at one point.
Should've spent it on coke and hookers instead

I really don't remember much about either day. They were both for the same Facebook campaign (hit $100/day and then scaled up to $1-2k/day over the next week or so). But when I first started AM I knew I was going to succeed, so it didn't seem like that big of a deal when I started to make money.
I pretty much agree with this.
