Hey BHW,
After years hearing about IM I finally decided to TAKE SOME ACTION. So let me introduce myself:
Who am I
hjungles, 23 yo., Brazilian
What do I do
I work with IT for a Brazilian government agency since 2011. Previously worked for two other gov't agencies too.
Entered in Management college in 2009, but dropped out in the same year.
What do I want
What I *DO NOT* want
(Miserable) Experience with IM
My grandfather (yeah, ole granpa!) used to run a website since 1996 (!). It was a Web-based nationwide search engine for car parts.
He used to teach everything he knew about the Internet (no too much, actually
). So between 1999 and 2003 I have runned 4 different usless lame Web 1.0 websites with his support.
It happened that in 2006 he died. His partner dropped out of the bussiness and I was the only one who could keep it running. I was just a 14 yo. stupid wanna-wanna kid with absolutely no working experience and, by no surprise, I f****** it all up. By the time of his death the website used to give 200~600 BRL/mo (inflation+exchange = USD 150~450). At Feb. 2009 I've hit the bottomline of ZERO INCOME.
The year 2008 was the peak of the Web 2.0 hysteria and the Internet became far different than it used to be. I finnaly started to learn how to make websites that don't suck too much and to work a lot on improving granpa's site. My father was worried because I turned myself into a workaholic teenager (which, in turn, didn't prevent the earnings from going lower and lower) so he adviced me to outsource everything I could. And so I did. And so I lost BRL 6k (infl+xchg=USD 3.65k) because I hired a damn scammer who disappeared with all my childhood savings.
Well, you see that, at this point, I had a huge trauma with Web bussiness.
So in 2009 I've heard about Rich Jerk and his miraculous secrets he would only give to those who payed him USD 99. I felt strongly compelled to buy the damned e-book but, you know guys, it smelled a lot like SCAM, so I didn't (and it was a good choice as we now know that his system was already outdated by 2009).
But I was strongly convinced that making such huge earnings were at someway possible, so I started to playing around with those lame PTC and PTV website. Well, if you ever been into this kind of BS you know that in few weeks I've quitted, angered by figuring out that only a few in the IM community takes the huge money while the rest fight for pennies.
You must remember, back in 2010, it was the Golden Age of Spam. The firsts pages of Google got filled with tons of spammy cr*p and my latent interest in IM sparked up again. Then I've learned about BHW and started to lurk around. But in the beginning of the following year, the Empire striked back with their zoo of pandas and penguins, washing the spam kingdons away from the surface of the Earth, and everybody around was saying that "SEO is dead" and that everything was going to be like in the ole days of Web 1.0, when the only way you could possibly earn money with the Internet was by directly charging your costumers. Kicked off from IM once again.
Between 2011 and 2013 I found myself into several off-line money-making adventures and... Guess what... Long story short, I was scammed one more time and ended up with the 18k debt. Then I fell into depression, got a mild cocaine addiction, dated lots of stupid bitches, crashed 2 cars, and did a lot of other stupidities.
In the end of that year I have hit rock bottom. Ever since I have been recovering myself and getting my life back in the rails, but it is not so easy when the bank eats up half of your sallary and you have to commute by bus every day.
So, a month ago I remembered all of the Rich Jerk hysteria and wondered if the people who buyed his book were cursing or hailing him. I was surprised to learn that he wasn't actually a scammer and his system was mostly legit. I read his life story and felt deeply inspired by it. And I've been having a lot of free time because I've just broke up with my GF (who was a major contributor with pushing me into debt LOL) so I dived once again in the IM waters, lurking BHW every single night since then.
Now that have built up a lot of professional experience and emotional control through learning the hard-way, I'm pretty confident I won't screw it up once again. And I hope to fix the mistakes of the past, too.
Thank you for sharing your time,
