In my IM experience after 1 month I reached 500$/day, after 2 months 1000$/day and after 3 month I was on an average 2000$/day net profit and
this is my IM earning today. More specific:

About 3 hours/day of IM (no time wasting or breaks);

Daily Costs: 500$ (Hosting, VPS, Domains, PPC, outsourcing, software, Wireline ISP, 3G ISP);

My leverages to reach this:

  • Automate;
  • Scaling up;
  • Outsource;
My backgrounds:
I am a developer with strong skills and experience (LAMP, Java, Html/CSS, ActionScript).
I build all my sites by myself, sometimes use WP and build WP themes.
I outsource only tasks that are time consuming as content generation and backlinks building.

you serious man? only 3 hrs a day? do you build your own landing pages or outsource them as well? also, how much starting capital did you have?

Now 3 hours a day, first weeks more than 10 hours.
Many tasks I did at beginning I have outsourced (GAF rules) and have built my personal frameworks and workflows I build different projects with (now I haven't to work from the scratch), for example for every niche I want to work on now I have the automated flow from the keywords research to site building.
I don't work only 3 hours, I have other online businesses that I am trying to implement in IM (for example Mobile apps).

Only in the last month I have added PPC and Dedicated servers to my budget, the starting capital I have decided to start with the first day was 1.000$.
 
thanks for this post hothat, it's cool to see

sounds like you generated much of this income through more orgnanic / article marketing and not necessarily ppc? or am reading into this a bit wrong ... this would help someone like who's pretty new ... also is this through cpa or another form? any insights you can share without giving away too much would be cool, or not :) hope i don't get flamed

thanks

Very Motivational :)

Yes organic traffic, very targeted keyphrases (I work hard on keywords search) and profitable micro-niches. Invest your time on keywords search, keywords tools and links building.
revenues come from CPA campaigns and for some niches free trial products and product selling.

thanks bro,

you taking on any students?
 
affiliate marketing, the real thing, is not a get rich quick scheme. It requires planning and hard work and time for the business to take off.

If you use ppc to draw traffic and are skillful enough to profit from it, then, yes, it might take off more quickly.

If you rely on organic search results, the process can take much longer as it takes months for your site to start ranking in google.

Btw, is the google sandbox still on

I am absolutely amazed you were able to get to your numbers on organic seo. 1k per day within 90 days through organic seo is tremendously impressive.

That's amazing, 4 figures per day in three months...with ORGANIC! I was going to follow an adsense strategy I saw on BHW. I think I'll change tactics and try out CPA with it instead. Thanks hothat!
 
I have been 'at it' since February this year and have made a little over Nada, but just shy of bupkiss.
Take into account the fact that I have a full time job and two children under 2 and I give myself a little leeway.
Like many have posted - I think the first few months are the learning curve times, but if I say I have earned nothing in 3 months from now - its time to give myself an uppercut
 
The first few months are learning theory. And I say that because 95% of people will read 10000000's of blogs to see 'what works best', then they start doing shit and realize everything doesn't work (for everybody) and then they get an idea of how to get something to work for them. You'll find your process, and then that theory will begin to make sense on how you can apply it for your own business.

If you work 'hard' enough, you can be making thousands within a couple month.

Success is a function of failure in this game. And it'll take a lot of failure for some people to find success.
