There were 2 great threads posted yesterday in the Success Forum and I want to make sure you guys get to see them, as they really press home the fact that working on your sites works.

It’s easy to sit back and think to your self that “nothing works” & “IM is just a scam”  but the truth is it works just fine if you put the time and effort in. The first was from Ruth9 who posted about how her first site made $6752 in 3 months.

Hi all,

I’ve been meaning to post this for ages… sorry I took so long to get around to it.

Just wanted to post my HUGE APPRECIATION to Mark, Paul, George, Peter….and EVERYONE who’s ever answered my basic questions, you’ve been abundantly kind to me.

I didn’t make a cent until I came to WPg,infact I think i’d just barely learnt how to copy n paste! (you think I’m joking Though it was a steep learning curve I was determined.

My first site made me $6752 over a 3 month period and a bit before and after that it has been still trickling in a little. I’m also making money from other sites. I have about 12 sites done, about 7 are on the first page, I only really focus on a few that I know can bring me money (Some sites I dismiss and others I have a longer term plan) and they are in no. 1 spots + other spots on first page.

I’m now really interested in helping local businesses in the future. And though I still have ‘gaps’ in my learning to fill in I have learnt a lot. This is especially special for me as I have done this whilst I haven’t been well, so my apologies for not being able to help other people on the forum more.

thanks again guys..

I don’t normally do this kind of thing, but there have been many times in the past that reading someone’s success story pushed me to do a little bit extra each day. If it wasn’t for that push, I wouldn’t be sharing this today. I hit a major milestone yesterday. But first I’d like to show where I was a year ago.

In August 2009 I made $97 with clickbank, $50 with shareasale, and a whopping $0.41 in adsense for the entire month. I didn’t do amazon back then because I was one of those fools who thought that the idea of a 24 hour cookie was ridiculous. I had no idea that amazon could convert 10% of their visitors. In September I started visiting this forum, although I had owned Mark’s book for a while. I also jumped into the middle of the xfactor craze and realized that adsense was a viable means of monitization.

Its been up and down since then, and a lot of long hours at the computer even with considerable outsourcing. But yesterday I saw a glimpse of the not to distant future. I am prepared to do whatever it takes to make that glimpse an every day reality. And then exceed it.

Yesterday I earned a total of $200.01 from adsense, clickbank, amazon, and CPA.

I could not have done this without the knowledge and inspiration I have picked up from Mark and the members of this forum.
