How much $$ do YOU make?

[inspiration]

I think mr onlinecasinosuite will vote for the 150K+ category

[bonustreak]

When we first started out 6 yrs ago we went for 2 yrs not making anything hardly at all and what we did make we invested it right back into the biz. The thing to do in this industry is create a goal and stay on task for it no matter how many curve balls are tossed your way. Also don't put all your eggs in one basket I cannot tell you how many times we have had our top earning program go out of business on us not to mention processing issues. That is where you have to adapt and make sure you have at least 3 top earners with at least 3 more in the works to become the next top earner for you That's all for now folks I cannot give all my secrets away ..haha

I love being an entrepreneur in the online gaming biz I think the challenge is what drives me each and every day, I love to compete and I will be that person earning 150k a month one day!!

Very good post Bonustreak and newbies should pay close attention to that! I need a 'Post of the Month' award thingy like CasinoMeister (tm) has! I would certainly vote for that one.

Excellent thread! Wish I knew where to start my lol. I am sure you have all heard this before took me three years and not a dime. I am baffled over my earnings now because I really don’t know what I did lol.

1.Not one cent went towards advertising of any kind. I too believe not necessary unless you are using paper money to light camp fires.

2. Never used blogs or any of social networking tools available (this may change soon).

3. Cross-linking the last time was about two years ago. Never paid for a link either and no directory submissions.

4. Never communicated via Msn, Skype etc… only email (may change soon)

5. Seldom I communicate with Affiliate Managers. In fact I think I know roughly five AM’s by their first name. Out of the five only one has mutually earned my trust and confidence.

6. Pm’s from friends and colleagues per month maybe three, yup pretty dismal.

7. Attended one affiliate convention, but since 2005 attended three defcon rallies. Defcon not directly related to our industry.

8. Never outsourced for anything…correction once for content.

9. I apply 100% whitehat seo techniques, no short cuts.

Breaking into this industry was a huge challenge more than what I expected. If I did not have certain individuals push, motivate, advise me I may have given up. So I owe a lot my success (earnings wise) on individuals who unselfishly offered to help.

Mainly rely strictly on organic results, as I should spend a few years studying SEO. I find the conversions are better 1 in 20. I am very proud in saying I practice 100% whitehat techniques, absolutely no gray areas. I have over a dozen micro sites (5 pages or less) and a few larger sites (don’t ask).

I firmly believe build your site with integrity, honesty, and firmly believe in what you are doing is cool. Keep things simple and everything runs smoothly. Plan your work and work your plan, do not deviate from the plan stick with it.

Guess I could be doing more but I am pretty content with where I am today. I still have time to participate in other cyber activities.

Hope I offered a bit of alternative view on matters. This has been my experience.

I've been at this for about five years now. It's not easy you have to keep at it. Keeping your site updated is key. I'm not getting rich, but I'm making a few bucks and I'm always have fun!

greek,
What have you done differently to suddenly be profitable? I remember about a year and a half ago you were mentioning you were not doing so well. At the same time I recognized your abilities as an internet security professional.

What changed it for you? Did you spend more time on it? Take a different philosophical approach? I'm glad your doing great, and I'm cheering for you.

Scary question, I don’t know what I did lol. Roughly a year ago I decided to buckle down for a while. I kept asking myself what, why, how am I going to do this? Drew up a plan on paper and stuck to the plan. The knowledge was there but the focus wasn’t I suppose. I think with good time management skills and focus on working the plan worked for me.

Plus I would have to say having a good support system in place helps. I remember you giving me a few excellent pointers.

As for the Internet Security Professional this has expanded my horizons tremendously. This niche is very profitable and is growing exponentially. Cyber Criminals steal billions each year from the innocent. Cyber Forensics Analyst is in very high demand so I freelance occasionally. Feels good when justice is served but the work is very, very draining. So burn out happens frequently plus plan on going with out sleep for a few days.
