The Winning Essay
Becoming a successful internet marketer has been a dream of mine for almost two years and has just recently become the main goal in my life. My first experience making money online was right out of high school and I thought I hit the jackpot when I set up a couple of online college affiliate PPC campaigns; unfortunately it only lasted about a week but it gave me a constant urge to make money online. After a couple years in college as a business major I made my way back into internet marketing when a friend of mine brought me into an image hosting project almost a year ago. After a few months it was sold for a nice profit but this time the end of the project wasn’t going to mean the end of my presence online. With all the ambition you can imagine I tried to start a myspace resource site but it didn’t make much and I didn’t have much time to expand due to school and work. At about the end of this past summer I decided once and for all that Internet Marketing was going to be my future. Since then I have dedicated myself to learning everything I can about making money online, so much so that I’ve quite my job and dropped out of school mid-semester to put all of my focus into this (luckily I still live at home and have an understanding mother).
The main reason that I’ve been driven so much towards internet marketing is that it just seems to fit me so well. I have huge goals and am very performance driven, which has made normal jobs way too constraining. I still can’t get over how limitless the possibilities are with internet marketing and I think about that every day. The eagerness to make this work is greater than anything I’ve ever felt; It’s almost like I am physically drawn towards being a success at this and the feeling I get when something starts to work is unbelievable. I’m also a person who tends to just swarm myself with information and smart people to talk to about it with, which I think, will help me so much in becoming a success at this. The last couple of months I have just been a sponge for information and ever since I found WickedFire there has been so much more motivation to test things, although my finances have held me back a little. The community of WickedFire is so awesome in this aspect and I think the more I can get involved with things like this the more ideas and less limits will come to me. There is no longer any doubt in my mind that there is nothing else that would satisfy me more than being a successful internet marketer. Once I reach my goal of being a large presence online my life will be at a peak high.
With the growth that I strive for in Internet Marketing it should only be a couple years before I will supporting myself lavishly along with helping out mom while letting people realize their own internet dreams. The monetary side of internet marketing is extremely attractive and I love how the harder I work the more I will be compensated for it. I plan on putting this to the test within the next months and years and have a feeling that when I am where I want to be, money will no longer be a strain or problem in life, but a tremendous luxury. One of the big things I want to do with internet marketing is hopefully within 5 years buy my mom and sister a house for Christmas so they can get out of the scummy apartment we live in now (cheesy I know, but it’s true).After I accomplish these monetary goals and have become somewhat known online it will be so fulfilling to start giving back to this community that is helping me out so much right now.
There are so many ways that people have helped and are helping me that I can’t wait to be big enough to start giving back. I figure it will start by giving ideas with some tested techniques that I’ve had success with in a blog and on forums like WickedFire, or maybe just WickedFire haha. Although when it comes to making money it is pretty much anything goes with me, I have strong morals when it comes to relationships and will always give back as much or more than what I get out of this amazing online community we are part of. As someone who has just started in this I ask a lot of questions from the so called gurus, which I know bugs them and I have started figuring stuff out on my own, but I know that’s how newbs get into this business and can’t wait to get those type of questions when I’m big because if it helps one person get out of a day job and start to learn things on their own then it will be worth it. I don’t know what it will be like to be a famous name in internet marketing but I can’t wait to see what other ways I can come up with to help grow our industry.
I really think that I deserve to win this awesome contest because I will squeeze every little drop out of what I will learn at affiliate summit west and from all of you. I am someone who wants to work hard and will use this opportunity to blow up my online business in 2007 to every extent I can. I am willing to put in 15-20 hour days to get projects done and I know with your help I can start doing this. It has already become quite evident how addicted I am to growing projects and how right this profession is for me. I have more drive than anyone you’ll meet to get this going and I think winning this is all I need to grow to a large income and have enough knowledge to start giving back to Copeac, WickedFire, and the online community as a whole.
Thank you for this opportunity and hopefully I’ll be seeing you in January.

Congrats Kaveman, we look forward to meeting up with you at ASW, and also extending our help to you from a consulting stand point. You seem very eager to learn and self motivated, and that's a winning combination that you need to succeed. Keep the confidence levels high too, because you're going to be exposed to a shitload of good stuff from people who have been self taught and know more about this industry combined than almost anyone else. Congrats again, and keep up the good work.
It would be cool if you could keep everyone updated with either bi-weekly or monthly summarized progress reports or if we could create some type of case study on this.
