It's not impossible. I have taken people to 11k profit a month in a few months.
This is a very easy business to make money in if you skip over the standard trial and error mistakes most of us went through to get to the profitable parts.
can you take me?!?!?!?!?!
i'll trade poker lessons for marketing lessons!
i've been reading viperchill and copyblogger and following links from those sites so i think i have a decent idea of what to do. still nowhere near being competent, but thanks to this thread i feel like i am well on my way.
i think i'm going to go the fitness route for starters. main premise of the site is going to be workouts, nutrition, and vits and supps for athletes or those who want to train like pro athletes.
here's my rough plan:
1. landing page where i collect email addresses
2. wordpress blog w/ a simple, crisp design, no adsense
- 75% workouts/nutrition posts and 25% affiliate pushing
--gonna try to find some affiliate programs of diets and workouts that actually produce results - i don't want to have a spammy site where i adv programs that don't work. not the way i roll and i don't think that it would be good for my brand.
--obv hook up with a online vitamin and supp store and get an affiliate deal going with them.
--i figure get some good content going and some name recognition for my site, and that should knock out a lot of the seo work since the algorithms these days for the SE's seem to rank quality and usefullness above SEO tricks.
3. long term plan is to start my own supp store and write a ebook after i've established myself as an expert in the field.
thoughts.
also, what are the best affiliate sites?
i signed up for clickbank, but so many of their affiliate programs seem so junky and scammy. are there any similar sites with good products?
it seems like a lot of these online supp shops make you sign up for their affiliate program through them, and only give like 15% commission. is this standard or am i missing something??
thanks guys!

Let's just take Wordpress .....
I don't have the experience to comment on all of the questions Chin brought up, but I can comment on two things --
1. Great looking girl!!
and
2. If you can make that much money that fast at IM, I'll bow down to you. :bowdown:
It's taken me about 100 hours just to learn Worpdress and I'd only rate myself about an average user. I can use most of the menus and I've built a decent site, but I still get stuck now and then, still can't develop or edit themes, still have problems with plugins confilicting, and I still don't understand a lot of the finer points of permalinks, categories, tags, redirections, and stuff like that.
To really be good at Wordpress you have get pretty good at HTML, PHP, CSS and SQL. And Wordpress was just one item in a long list of things you mentioned, Chin.
If you really want to make that much money in that little time, you might want to look someplace besides IM. Or else find an incredible niche that most of the people I know seem to have missed and be incredibly smart and lucky promoting it.
But good luck --
Greg
