All You Have to do is Make a Profit….
January 13, 2008It’s really not as difficult as it seems. Too many want-to-be millionaire entrepreneurs shoot for the big bucks too soon. They all think they can make a million bucks in a month if they just find the right “secret”. They jump from one make-it-rich product to another - spending more money than they ever make. Every time they see another money making opportunity, they jump on the bandwagon.
You are not going to set up some sales letter on a website with an affiliate link and get a million dollars over night. You’re not going to get $100,000 or probably even $1000. In fact, if you make anything, it will probably be just a few dollars at most. However, that is all you have to do.
“What!” you say. That doesn’t make any sense. Well, that is exactly what most millionaires do. They find something that works and makes a profit. Then, they tweak it a little by testing. Then, they test some more. They test again. And again. Test, test, test….. Do you get the picture. In fact, they never really stop testing. It is one of the most important ingredients of a successful internet business (or any business for that matter) to be as profitable as possible. After tweaking and testing and maximizing the profit. The next thing to do is to repeat the process. Let’s take an example…..
Suppose you find an affiliate product to sell or you create your own. Then, you write and publish your sales page. You drive some traffic to your sales page. You make a sale or two and end up with $5 profit. OK. Let’s say you manage to make the $5 per day for a total of $150 per month. Not a big deal is it? You are not very close to the million dollars you envisioned in your head when you were reading all of the money making “secrets”. It would be easy to give up and quit at this point, right? Well, that is probably the worst time to quit because you have already proven that you can do it. You are making a profit. That’s all you need to do to prove to yourself that it can be done. The only difference between you and the millionaires is repetition.
Take that same path that you took to make the $150 per month and just repeat it. Let’s say it took you a week to set everything up to generate the $150 per month. If you did the same thing every week, by the end of the month (4 weeks) you would be earning $150×4=$600. Now that’s not too shabby, that might pay for your car payment. So, do it again. The second month you would be up to $1200 per month. That would maybe pay for your mortgage payment. Keep it up for a year and you could be at $7200 per month or $86,400 per year! That is after just one year. Most people would love to make that kind of money.
Of course, there is a bit of work involved to get going and it takes persistence to accomplish it but it is not as difficult as you might think. The main thing is just taking action and sticking with it. Action and perseverance are what 98% of the people will NOT do. However, 2% will. Are you one of the 98% that just follow the herd in through life or are you one of the 2% that take control and make the most of your life? All you have to do is make a profit and then do it again, and again, and again………
