CHAPTER 24
HOW ORDINARY PEOPLE MAKE EXTRAORDINARY INCOME ONLINE
Last Sunday morning, I got up, had a
little breakfast, and drank some green
tea before firing off an e-mail that
took me about fifteen minutes to write.
Then, I closed up shop and went shopping with my girlfriend for
some new ties and new shoes.
Sunday is, after all, a day when people
should rest. I even went to a black tie
party later that night. All in all, it was a fantastic day I must say!
On Monday, when I got back to the office, I checked to see how many
orders my e-mail had generated. How about a WHOPPING $25,618.70!
All from one e-mail…a simple message I wrote in fifteen minutes flat.
Not bad for fifteen minutes of work,
huh? I’m not telling you this to impress
you but to IMPRESS upon you that
you can also create incredible success
online, with the help of the right
knowledge and tools.
Besides, if I don’t toot my own horn, no
one but me will ever know about my
success—and as a result, I’ll have zero credibility. First rule of business: toot
that damn horn and tell the world how
amazing you are!
I know some people will take this as nothing but braggadocio and
arrogance. Frankly, those people are
losers. Winners will sit up and pay
attention while the losers get busy
pointing fingers, judging me, whatever. Honestly, I couldn’t give a shit what
the losers think.
I’m assuming that if you’ve made it this
far in this e-book, you’re sure as heck
not a loser. I therefore am also going to
make the assumption that YOU, TOO,
would like to learn how to make money
on the Internet while you sleep. Right?
Good. Because that’s exactly what I’m
going to show you how to do in next
few chapters.
HOW MUCH MONEY CAN YOU MAKE?
Making five figures a month online is
really no big deal. Making six figures a
month is one heck of a feeling. And
seven figures a month, well, that’s my
goal for this year.
Maybe you’re thinking, “Mr., you can
say things like making five figures a
month online is no big deal because
you’re THE MAN, but do REAL
people make that kind of money?
”Here’s the thing—it’s NOT just true
for me. I’ve helped thousands and
thousands of “ordinary” people
make a fortune on the Internet. It’s
not a matter of luck or “being at
the right place at the right time” or
any of that nonsense.
MONEYISM #66: If you don’t toot
your own horn, no one will toot it
for you.
One of the most recent successes is
Charlie Cook, a marketing consultant
to Fortune 500 companies that
include AETNA, AT&T, Cendant,
GTE, and Pitney Bowes, as well as
mid-sized companies like Citizens
Utilities and Hartford Steam Boiler, publications that include Fortune,
Hemispheres and Forbes and
numerous small businesses:
www.MarketingForSuccess.com.
Charlie’s passion lies in helping small
business owners and marketing
professionals discover a better way
to attract clients and grow their
businesses. Charlie found me on
the Internet and enrolled in my mentoring program. When I started working with him, he was already very successful, but he wanted stop trading
time for money as a consultant.
Together we turned his experience and knowledge into a line of educational
products. Now people can buy his
materials and do things for themselves
. As a result, Charlie’s now raking in
half a million dollars per year online.
Another one of my protégés is a
photographer named ShaneGoldberg.
Shane tried to use Photoshop to edit
his photos, but he struggled to learn
the program. He thought to himself,
“If I have this problem, I wonder if
other photographers have the same
problem?”
He then launched www.ProPhoto
Secrets.com—a membership site
devoted to teaching people all the
Photoshop tricks and tips.
He’s since retired from the photography business and now makes a nice five-
figure income every month working
from home.This allows him to spend
quality time with his seven-year-old
daughter. He’s now on track to build a multimillion-dollar Internet company.
I am very proud of him.
I have another protégé.Take Rob
Palmer, a former struggling freelance
writer. Rob started a website called www.GoFreelance.com from his
basement and turned it into a multi
million dollar company. His site is now
one of the leading freelance sites on
the Internet.
Another one of my success stories:
Darren La Croix, the owner of www.Humor411.com.
He is the guy to call when other
professional speakers want to learn
how to make their audiences say WOW!
In 2001, Darren outspoke twenty-five
thousand contestants from fourteen
countries and became the World
Champion of Public Speaking. He now
sells an enormous amount of
products and services on the Internet
and his website is raking in hundreds
of thousands of dollars a year.
MONEYISM #67: Every problem is a product.
I can fill this ENTIRE blogsite with rags-
to-riches stories like these from my students.
Which leads to me to wonder…how anyone can be lukewarm about
the Internet?
How can anyone be skeptical or unconvinced that it is not
only legitimate but that it’s a damn smart way to make money while
you sleep?
People who are still skeptical of the Internet fall into one of these
three camps:
Camp 1. People who are too lazy to get off their ass and learn how the
Internet works.
Camp 2. People who are afraid of change. These are the ones who
don’t want to stretch their comfort zones—people who are
stuck in the rat race. They play not to lose instead of playing
to win.
Camp 3. People who believe other people can do it, but not them. They
say, “I’m not a techie. I’m not a computer person. I’m too old for this.”
“I can’t” rareyly means that you actually
can’t. What it really means is “I don’t
want to / I don’t know how / I’m too damn lazy.”
