Want to Make Millions Online? Dream On…
How often do you get bombarded with offers for online marketing products that are virtually guaranteed to make you an Internet millionaire almost overnight for only an hour or two of work a week?
Yeah… they drive us crazy, too.
Today we’re going to go against the grain and say what no other Internet marketer has ever said before:
You CAN’T make millions of dollars on the Internet overnight.
You won’t be making millions in your first month… or your first year… or even your first five years — unless your best friend is a leprechaun and your pockets are full of lucky pennies and four-leafed clovers and you’ve got the proverbial golden horseshoe you know where.
Okay, it *can* happen… we know a lot of online success stories who made their first million within the first year of owning their online business.
And yes, some of them didn’t have any real computer experience before they started.
But we want to make this clear: They are the exception, not the norm.
So how much CAN you expect to make with your first online business?
Well, that depends on you.
No, we’re not trying to jam out of giving you a *real* answer — your success really does depend on YOU, and how much time and effort you are willing to devote to your business.
When we work one-on-one with our mentoring clients, the more determined ones usually make their first few sales within the first month of starting their business.
That means if you fully devote yourself to your business, you should see a few hundred dollars in sales that first month.
BUT if you keep at it, the money will continue to grow — so by the time you’re at the six-month mark, you’re making a thousand a month instead of just a few hundred.
And by the time that first year ends, you’ll probably be making a lot more than that — anywhere from three to ten thousand a month, if you’re like our more successful mentoring clients.
That means you’ll probably be making anywhere from $36,000 to $120,000 a year.
… It might not be millions, but it’s still not a bad pay-off for a year’s worth of work, wouldn’t you say?
But to make this kind of money, you MUST be prepared to pour your heart and soul into your business and do all you can to ensure its success.
Because if you’re the kind of person who would rather sit on the couch watching TV than put in the time required to build a better future for yourself, then the Internet probably isn’t for you.
So how about it?
Are you willing to roll up your sleeves and create a real online business that makes real money?
Or would you rather buy into the lie of the “millions made while you sleep!” and spend hundreds of dollars on “instant cash machine” offers that never live up to their promises?
… The choice is up to you.

Thank you for your encouragement. I have found this to be true in my online marketing efforts. We all have to start somewhere and it takes a lot of effort and perseverance, but the profits certainly make it worth the hard work for me.
Whaaa? I can’t make millions overnight? Really? And here I thought I was going to do it in working only two hours a week in my underwear while asleep or something like that. Snort.
Thanks for having the guts to talk about the real expectations people need to have around internet marketing.
What a refreshing post.
Deep down everyone knows this but give it a go anyway.
It’s the people that give you the facts warts and all that I want to hear from.

It took three years to realise that one cannot make a million overnight. Thanks for the info.
Nice to hear someone actually being realistic about potential earnings!
You should actually start seeing it as a full time job. It takes quite a lot of time (months or even more than a year) to set it all up. Take one website/project at a time and finish it. It could take about 20 websites online before you can expect a nice (extra) income from it.
It took me almost a whole year before I could actually quit my job. Some say even a year is quite fast. I was very dedicated and worked 6-10 hours almost every day.
There’s indeed no quick way to make good money on internet. It’s a business…not a lazy man’s job. A business takes effort…simple.
