I don't mean to hijack the thread but the first two words of the title of this thread reminded me of this amazingly funny madTV clip:

Hello friend,

How you know he no have millions of america dollar?

To become rich you have to take advice of those rich and learn to copy trait.

It same how you can make money by steal page of landing and source of traffic. By same way you can become rich by copy what rich do.

Good luck bro

Dude, are you dullspace?

You sound like him!!!
 
If you act the victim, you become the victim.

You speak the truth.

This whole thread amuses me.

1. OP obviously you don't like what you do so go find something else and you'll figure out how to make money with it. Open up a surfshop (since you like surfing) and use your ppc skills to kill off competition... do what you love and make money.

2. Guys who think if they "stick" with it they'll be successful. At a certain point you will fail. Even if you start hitting $1,000 profit a day you will fail. Somehow you think if you get to a certain place you'll be done or "you've made the big leagues." There are no big leagues, this isn't a sprint its a marathon. Make money today and lose it tomorrow. You'll always struggle to excel and you'll fail along the way. Deal with it.

3. The guys who think because they make "bank" they are somehow above other people and above average. No one gives a shit about how much money you make (or in most cases will make). Guess what... we all die and no one is going to care that you had money. It's what you do with that money or your time that will keep people talking about you after your death.
 
Hey man, it's all in your attitude.

I'm ballin' right now at $20 (PROFIT) a month, but it took a lot of work and persistence to get where I am today. I've failed many times over the years. In fact, I could bet a full month's income that I've failed more than anybody else in this thread. But look where I stand now. I'm making a solid income and it's growing a little bit each month. If I had your attitude and gave up the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, or 20th time I failed, I wouldn't even be here today.

I'm at the point where I'm starting to diversify my streams of income. I'm going to make some niche product sites with datafeeds and see if I can maybe double or triple my monthly income. I'm even driving some Yahoo Answers and video traffic with mixed success. At this rate, I'll be making six figures in about 20 years or so, and it will only grow from there. Then I'll probably attend my first Affiliate Summit and try my hand at PPC again.

Don't give up, bro. Find something that works and build on it.


Wtf how did you break the $10/month barrier? I've been going at this AM thing for about a year and a half now and I was amazed when I made it to $5/mo.

To OP, seriously man take advice from this guy. You need 18 more years in this biz before you can break the 6 fig mark.
 
A good thing this thread has done is to show up some guys that have balls. Young guys doing $10k a day etc shows balls. The balls to grind on and act the man when it comes to their business.

$20 Baller has the biggest and saggiest balls of all. He's proud of his twenty dollar and proud of his work to get there. He don't give a fuck what you think and only knows that he'll get bigger. Good luck to him.
 
as for your seo statement...i make money with seo...not as much as i'd like but that's not my focus...

So add dumb to the list of bad attitude and unlucky. Generally people who make money in AM focus on what makes money rather than spend time doing shit that doesn't.

Let me guess, you have a handful of sites that bring in a few bucks a month with SEO, but instead of building 11ty billion links to them or just cranking out more sites, you throw money at unsuccessful PPC programs?

Your attitude is why you're poor. Your belief that luck has anything to do with success not only makes you a whiny bitch it actually affects your strategy. You think to yourself "if only I can get lucky with one campaign, then I'll get rich." So you keep doing stuff that doesn't work. Fact is your not rich because your not willing to do it the hard way. If you just picked a few niches and built a shit ton of links, you'd make money. But, your unwilling to do it on the scale needed to get rich or to dumb to pay someone else to do it.

Poor people always talk about luck. In reality even the girls on "the hills" probably had to blow hundred of producers and barf in the sink every day to get on tv.
 
“I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” - Michael Jordan
 
I'm not going to lie, after reading this entire thread I'm really pissed off. Cv let me start off by saying that I would give anything to run you over with my shitty hyundai accent. At the same time, I would like to shake your hand and thank you. It's negative, immature, and ignorant people like you that make it easier for people like me to succeed. Let me tell you this. I am 20 years old, I have a demanding girlfriend, I work, and I go to school full time and I still find time to plug away at AM non stop. I'm not balling yet, but guess what? There is no doubt in my mind that I will be very soon. How can I be so sure about this? Am I a fucking fortune teller? No. The reason I know this is because I possess all of the characteristics that you don't. I never give up, I am constantly testing, optimizing, focusing, networking with others that are already where I hope to be some day, etc.

The fact that anyone on this forum even responded to you after your first couple of replies makes me sick. You don't even deserve to be dickrolled. I'm now going to offer you some advice thats going to change your fucking life. YOU DON'T HAVE WHAT IT TAKES. Stop day dreaming about that nice house, car, or boat that you want. Keep your day job, and just accept the fact that you will die just another average human being. I'm not trying to be mean, I'm being 100% straight up. Your attitude and personality are proof enough that you are definitely your worst enemy and that you will simply never make it.

This.
 
i've been in the web industry for so long...affiliate marketing for a few years. i just don't know what gives? why is it that some people just get the lucky breaks and they bank ...but others like myself, work in front of computer day and nite, daily and just break even every month.

no matter if it's building sites, working on seo or affiliate marketing...i'm not rich. i don't bank 6 figures. wtf gives? why do assholes get the break, land a shitty sales job and make 3 times what i do? wtf is wrong with this country right now?

we live in the land of opportunity yet, we get reemed by the government, fucking meter officers ticketing you for being 1 minute past the limit. everything in our world is set up to fuck you in the ass and you have to either be extremely lucky to know the right people at the right time or you're fucked.

this is what i don't get. i've been doing this for too long to see lots of peeps make tons of cash, come and go and here i am, making risks from time to time but failing. how the fuck am i going to make 6 figures being a web developer, seo freak and an affiliate marketer which is the most bogus way of making a living.

i know there are some successful people in here...but i know the vast majority don't make shit.

personally i think this country is fucked and we're all just scraping and suffering to just make ends meet. if i can go back in the day and realize what life was really about (money, family etc) then i wouldn't have surfed 3 times a day and quit college. but i've done enough to support my son and be able to live. but there's more to it...why just work for a check and pay the bills and just have enough for a weekend trip? i want to travel, have enough money for a house, go anywhere i want, do whatever and whenever i want. what the fuck gives?

There is something called destiny. That is the result after you work hard, smart and to your full potential.
 
How do you make real money?

Admit you're wrong about MANY things you're doing now.
Grow bigger balls
Try something different.

Disclaimer:
I've never made more than $65 a month as an affiliate and I'm not a 16 year old baller...
 
Dude sent me an e-mail asking how I was making my mortgage payment with Amazon. I'll post the reply I sent him, since it might be useful for someone:

People use Amazon when they're looking for a relatively good bargain, they value convenience and want ease of mind when it comes to getting a good product. Amazon users love the reviews.

Grab a very small niche, (like 10-15 things on Amazon) and throw up a review site. Make the reviews GOOD, write shit that's useful, something your mom would like to read. All my reviews are between 800-1000 words - not that I've actually USED the products, but I make it seem like I just got it yesterday. Find the best-selling or top-rated product and push it. Give it the best review, give it the top marks. Make sure it's easy as hell to click through to Amazon and give them a reason to. Once they go to Amazon, you'll have a much better chance of getting a commission.

Right now the site I make the most with has about 100 visitors a day. All SE traffic, but people that are looking for a very specific thing and they want to know more about it, but they don't know who to buy it from.

I'm not making crazy money by any means, but my mortgage is $2200, so I'm doing OK I suppose.

And I learned all this stuff by reading here and just trying it out.
