Default Now making $3067 monthly income from my 30DC skills

Hi, my name is Seth. I thought I would jump in and share a little story about how I have begun to succeed in business using my 30DC skills.

After going through the 2008 challenge (which I studied meticulously) I started getting a few sales of an info product I created. It's a 50 page e-book selling for $49, and I've probably sold about 100 of them so far.

But that's not where the real money has been for me. Here's what I did:

I started selling online marketing services to small business owners. As of this writing I've gotten my monthly income up to $3067.00 now, and it keeps on growing with every new client.

In addition to the monthly fees I charge, I have also gotten some large up-front fees amounting to more than $19,597 total in less than 1 year. (Add that to the monthly income, and that's not "chump change" for a guy like me!)

Once in ONE DAY I cashed 2 checks totaling $5500 upon closing 2 new clients on the same day. (That was a very good day.)

Before I went into online marketing full-time, I was working as a carpenter. One of my last carpentry jobs was remodeling a crawl space soaked with cat urine. Needless to say, I am glad to be making more money without having to break my back (and crawl around in cat pee.)

Freedom, man. Freedom.

Thanks 30DC. I love you guys.

That is brilliant!

Well done mate...

My dad used to say that "It's not what you know, but who you know"
and i'm now starting to see why this is important.

If you have a strong network of people and you have skills to assist them, that in my opinion is a much better way to make money then to start form nothing...

After a while, you will get referred through word of mouth to others and success will happen naturally. You've got the ball rolling, so many congrats to you

Onder,

Thanks everybody.

It's been a rollercoaster ride (mostly self-inflicted) but when I take a look back, "we've come a long way, baby."

Onder- You're right about "it's who you know," but just so you know where I'm coming from....

....I don't have squat for a network. I have a little bit of business experience, but I did this in a new town where I only have exactly 2 good friends! No joke. lol

It works. All you have to do is get yourself in situations where you stumble into conversations with business owners. Focus all your attention on learning what they do to get new customers. Then, after you ask them questions, they will ask you what you do, and BAM, you're off and running.

It's crazy how well this works.

Try it!
