How I Made My First $1m

The key to making real money is to get out of the hobbyist/small business mindset and start modeling corporate structures and processes. Companies like MacDonald's and Apple are showing you right in front of your eyes how to make billions of dollars a year, 99% of people are either to blind or to stupid to see it.

Cool, one of the biggest death bringers for a new business is too rapid of expansion.
Clearly modelling huge conglomerations and their business structures will solve all of your problems (hint: 2-3 person "lean and mean" businesses often bring down titans at their own game) :rolleyes:

My warning (from experience):
Do not try to teach someone how to do something that you yourself haven't mastered.
If you do not understand how to rank sites, built the tools to do it and automate it, and know precisely how to generate targets and what it takes to rank sites in any niche there is... don't even think about expanding.

Also, be prepared for massive one time (algorithmic) losses.
Also, in the modern google, get ready for the new power players to have 5000-10,000 blog networks.

The new SEO = extreme risk, with lots of mom/pops being incapable of keeping up with big players who have the structures and tools in place.
Also, nothing in this thread from the OP seems real. His grammar and explanations are n00b level.

His explanations are damn right... I can tell you that.
And who gives a fuck about his grammar huh? Just because someone can't speak/write English correctly doesn't mean they can't make money... Not everyone is a college major like you, my friend.
Read his post here that nicely addresses your grammar concern.
 
Can you give advice to promote physical product? I have ecommerce site that was hit by penguin and things are tough now.
The profit per sale is around $10.

Hey there,

liked a lot the $1M bullet points list, but I'm pretty sure that most of the people will get those points only when they'll come and crash on them (I learnt after the 1st Panda iteration the importance of not having all your eggs in one basket - especially if that basket has Adsense written on it :rolleyes:).

Anyway, I think I'm on my way to something big, my major problem at the moment is about taxes, I just can't stand that those corrupted politicians that run my almost-defaulted country steal 50% of my earnings, and besides that I just hate with a passion bureaucracy (yeah, I have an accountant) and the more I earn the more it gets complicated...since you earn big time I'm sure you know a thing or two about offshoring, I heard good things about Nevis LLCs, do you have any input about that?

Thanks!
 
It's always said that you can some times learn the most through your failures than through your successes and as it is obvious that you've been doing this a long time and i'm sure started/joined countless ventures, what has been your biggest learning experience through a venture gone bad?
 
Thanks for sharing, great hearing success stories like these :)
 
I'm thinking of developing my own product. Could you help me by showing me how to go about this? I mean, how to do market research and develop long lasting products etc. Help would be appreciated.
 
Why don't you become a vip here , a donor ? No thanks for bhw ? :(

Perhaps BHW wasnt really involved in his success an he wants us ALL to read his posts?
Doesnt want to exclusively post to jr vip/wants jr. vip.

this is really what I needed. Some motivation. Thanks alot and gratulation on your sucess :) I will begin to scale up my $5 a day now to some more!
 
Hey thanks for the great threads, real helpful man. I just had two quick questions.

1) What method or combination of methods did you use to hit your first $x,xxx/day and do you think it is still viable?

2) What method or combination of methods would you say is the quickest way (not necessarily easiest) to hit $x,xxx/day today?

Some advice and details would be great but if not, just tell me what method you suggest and any other advice you want to give. I'll figure the rest out. Thanks a lot man.

Edit:JUST INFO ON MY CURRENT PLANS

My current plans are to make a crap ton of adsense authority sites (hopefully making $50/month each min.), start writing a fatloss ebook for CB, and starting a fat loss blog w/ opt-in list. There are tons of these and this was the first type of site I started when I started out 2 years ago, I know a lot more about SEO and online marketing now. I am also launching a local coupon magazine which can hit xx,xxx/month on its own if I can get it working successfully in atleast 4 towns, then I'll hire people to manage it and split with them a large or majority of the profit while I focus on expanding to more towns.

My main aim for the website - build the list - main aim for the eBook is to bank from CB and be able to market it to my list as well. Adsense is another source of income to help me hit the x,xxx/day mark. I also am looking into other sources of income that would be quicker to attain while I focus on building out these.
