Internet Marketing: How Much Money Can You Really Make Online?
Jul 16th, 2008 by admin
When I chat to people about my interest in Internet Marketing, they’re usually sceptical at first about how much money can really be made from marketing online … and I guess I was too when I was first introduced to it via the sales page of Cory Rudl.
That was a few years ago. I was sat in my office having my lunch looking at the sun beating down outside through the window, thinking there has to be more to life than corporate life … so I typed “how to become a millionaire” in to Google and came across Cory’s site … I was immediately intrigued by his claims! That intrigued that I actually bought his $170 course!
Spending that kind of cash online a few years ago was a pretty scary thing to do …. was the site genuine? Was it a hoax? It was pretty uncharacteristic of me back then to get the credit card out and give that kind of cash to a faceless stranger! As it turns out it was a great decision!
Cory’s huge internet marketing course opened my eyes to the huge possibilities of the internet! And since then, I’ve been hooked! It did take me another 3 years of researching before I actually published my first site and started making money … aaaaaaaaaargh!!!
So how much money can you make online? Well judging by the image at the top of this post … A LOT!
I’ll be honest … I’ve not made six figures yet, I’m still in the 5 figures bracket, but I know I could if I had no “day job commitments” … time is my biggest constraint by a million miles … I’ve got loads of ideas … just not enough time … I’m not making enough just yet to replace the well paid day job … or at least that is what my wife keeps telling me!
The image at the top of the page is that of a guy called “Shoemoney”. It’s not his biggest cheque, just one that he published to gain a lot of publicity … $132,995 just from Adsense … awsome … I found the link thanks to one of my readers … Neil … who gave me the link to S.eriously.com … take a look and you’ll see a bunch more huge cheques that show just how much can be really made with internet marketing if you can drive the traffic to your web pages …
But the site goes to show that there are definitely people out there making huge money from internet marketing … huge, huge amounts of money! And we can join them I’m sure of that … I know in the next few months I can turn my 5 figures into 6 figures with more hard work … 
In my next few posts, I’ll be discussing the Guru’s that have influenced my online fortunes the most … obviously Cory Rudl is one, but who are the others? Watch this space …
