thanks everybody! :D

excellent Melanie, eWealth is changing more and more lives :)

[melanied]

there were many factors that contributed to the growth of my business, but ewealth absolutely is the main component.

truthfully, even though i've gotten some great information from the boards, information is not the most valuable thing i've gotten from here - that would be an opportunity to glimpse the thought process of highly successful people.

early last summer, i decided to read through every thread on the board in order to get to know the personalities on the board and mentally separate who on here was actually successful and doing it and who was just a surfer/poster. i narrowed it down to a list of about ten people who seemed to have reputations on the board for being successful and well-respected. then i started following those peoples' comments on the board to get a glimpse into how they approached business ventures and what their perspectives were.

the main thing i noticed that was true about them that was VERY different from how i approached things was that they A) trusted their own ideas and B) did not hesitate in implementing them.

when i stopped trying to follow other people's programs and starting emulating the success principal i picked up here of trusting my OWN ideas and trying them, that's when i started making real money.

i know it may seem like an exceedingly obvious thing that i should have known already, haha, but it's a BIG principal i learned, it absolutely changed my life, and ewealth is where i learned it...so THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! :D

Way to go! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

[Kimmy]

yay melanied I'm so proud of you sweetie!

[gwaring]

You should some day write up the details of your success and market it to us, or share it freely :)

[wishmaster22]

I would love to know what your daily method is. Such as are you doing the adwords / landing page thing. :)

[melanied]

i'm doing a lot of different things - mostly article marketing and adsense mini-sites. :)

Hey Congratulations melanied, Enjoy your life.:)

[melanied]

oh, i just wanted to add that there is another element that contributed a lot to to my succeeding (relatively) quickly...i never slept. :) from the time i decided i was really going to do this (last april) till the day i was making a living at it, i didn't sleep more than 3 or 4 hours a night, and lots of nights only an hour and a half or two hours. i just worked like a FIEND and wouldn't let myself slow down. maybe that was a crazy way to do it, but i found that i HAD to be that obsessed, it was what drove me.

for instance, one of my goals is to have my debts ALL paid off (including student loans) (not cheap...pepperdine, holla. lol) and buy a bmw 3 series with cash. the car i drive right now is a nissan sentra, and the air conditioning, the cigarette lighter (AKA...cell phone charger :P), cd player, and side mirror are all busted. i have enough money to get them fixed now, but i won't. i don't want it to be too comfortable for me to not have met my goal yet. every time i get in that car, i WANT to hate how hot it is and the fact that i can't listen to cds. i WANT to be embarrassed when people ask what happened to my mirror. i WANT to be uncomfortable until i reach my goal.

i know it sounds crazy, but it works for me. it also kind of makes me laugh to myself when my friends tell me how "lucky" i am to not have to go to a traditional job. :D they have no idea the sacrifices i made to be this "lucky." lol.

[ewealthy]

What ever you do, never give up. You have a great work attitude, no doubt a year from you would be in that BMW. Keep the nissan though to remind where you came from.

Hi melanied, HEALTH IS ALSO WEALTH.

So you also need to take care of yourself. :)

[melanied]

oh, believe me, now that i'm not spending 13-14 hours a day at my job (i'm counting the commute in that total, because i considered that part of my job...lol) i'm getting LOTS of rest and having LOTS of fun. :P

[super]

looks like you are successful, good luck in future :sleazy:

[Idea Guy]

Congrats to you melanied :angel:

[iamright.com]

A big Congrats Melanied... Good work, keep it up. its very inspiring

[alistdirector]

I remember leaving my job at te supermarket morrisons

to think i used to stack shelves for a living. so glad i got out of that hole...

congratulations and i hope this thread gets a lot more views, the success ones always are the best. very inspiring

[Tupacia]

Congrats Melanie! You're living the dream!

Really folks, consider this. I Just got a check from the forum-master here. I quickly took it downstairs and converted it over to quarters, because I needed to do my laundry. In fact, it bought me a wash, dry and a bottle of booze, because doing laundry is f#$%ing boring. Has anyone else cosidered joining the eWealth affiliate program? It has a quicker payout than the folks at CJ! (Thanks forumdude! got my laundry done!):sleazy:
Other than that blurb, my advice about affiliate marketing is:
1)Do what you do best in life...
2)Build a website about #1
3)If anyone is interested in your life at all, they will visit your site. That is where you kick in as an affiliate. Monetize, marketize, and certanly, never write an ebook about it. Most online jackasses make there first mistake by telling everyone else how to "do it".
4}Go back to #1

Hey melanied,

Congrats to you!! Most people outside of our internet community don't believe it is possible and therefore never get out of the rat race. Many people have proved that it is possible, it's just a matter of how bad you want it and what you are willing to do to make it happen.

I love hearing new success stories of people living life on their terms, it never gets old.

You are inspiring to others I'm sure...

[tallman]

Melanied
Im new here however, I would like to offer my congratulations to you.
As a roofing contractor by trade, Im "schlepping" ladders around all day.
At this stage of my life, it is very old.
I tell you this because I envy the committment you made to reach your goal(s).
I hope to do the same in a year or two.
I keep these posts in my mind as 1) a motivator and 2) to "never give up"

Continued Good Luck in all of your endeavors.

[Click-Bait]

Way To GO!!!!
Congratulations and Best of Luck

[alistdirector]

Motivation is the key guys...Motivation

[th3m4ndr4k3]

wow...
it's fantastic.
What is the secret?

[melanied]

it's not a secret, i basically said exactly how i did it. lol.

[itseasy]

I remember that day so well...

It was less than 8 months after I started to get serious out here,
and I have never looked back.

I've gone back - to heckle those that have been afraid to follow
me, that's always a good feeling :0)

I know I out earn my old boss by atleast 150%, that feels soooo good!
(and I'm creeping up steadily behind my brother the Doc - heh, heh)

You keep at it and don't let the negative people get in your ear, it's
not always easy but it can be very rewarding.

[muskratviking]

Wow melanied! Talk about sticktoitiveness. Hard work and determination definitely pays off. Way to go!

[Dave s]

Congratulations Melanied!

Keep up the great work...now enjoy your life!

Best

[andyz]

That is awesome! My congrats too. :)

Did you have times where you have doubts that you can reach that goal? Where you got depresive or desperate?
I know many people having very hard times until they come finally to success with this. Have read some stories of now very successful people with that.

Andy

[Ms Conversion]

thats just so cool

[gcondo]

Thank you for sharing this with us. I find it very inspiring and it makes me determined to succeed the way you did!!

Keep up the good work!

[melanied]

thanks, guys!

there weren't really times that i had doubts or got depressed...there actually were a couple of times that i had blurry vision, hand tremors, and other symptoms of exhaustion. lol.

i don't recommend anyone doing it how i did it. it's just how i had to. :P

Hi I am new here. Congratulations you must be feeling free and over the moon. What a great feeling.

Cheers
Krystal

[super]

welcome to ewealth :) Well tell us what you already know and we can advice you. Basicly you need to have site, get traffic to it and have all kind of ads to monetize that traffic :)

[woofytalk]

You mentioned that article marketing was a big contributor to your success. About how many articles were you writing a day?

It sounds like you reached this major goal in a fairly short period of time. It would be great to know the pace of your efforts in reaching that goal.

Warmest Congratulations to you!!!

Many of us dream to be where you stand right now. Your story is an inspiration to everyone.

-Jay

[Mal Keenan]

Lets hope you have many late mornings in bed and rising profits

All the best

[melanied]

let's see, i'm trying to think of how many articles i did (i don't really do that anymore). probably about five or six a week, i'd think.

i'm actually trying to move my business in a new direction that is much more stable...actual sites instead of "mini-sites", list building, developing rapport with my readers, etc. it's really fun!!!!

i LOVE to write, so i think that helps.

*melanie

[MMo]

Wow, congratulations melanied. I'm not sure when you started reading all the posts here on ewealth but like you said, you never slept so good for you for living the life you've always wanted. Good luck in the upcoming years!

[woofytalk]

Can someone explain to me what melanied means by a "mini-site" ? What is a mini-site?

-Jay

[melanied]

i mean a site which only has three or four pages. :)

[RoyalMoneyMaker]

Great! :)

[TKG]

i mean a site which only has three or four pages. :)

How is a mini site different from a larger site from SEO point of view?

[andyz]

What's easier?

Doing SEO for 1 site or for 10 sites?
Think of the backlinks you need. You have to do ten times the work.
And which sites would rather get good backlinks? A mini site or a big site?

[melanied]

yeah, i wasn't using search engine traffic, so seo wasn't my main concern - but, yeah, that's why i am moving toward bigger, more self-sustaining sites. because i want to build momentum.

[sputnik1]

Congratulations Melanied,

I think you comments will motivate people.
I agree it is much better to believe in your own ideas than just following in somebody else's footprints.

Keep up updated on your success story!

Stefan

[ldymusic]

Wow Melanie
your are sure an inspiration. Hope someday it will happen for me:angel:

[ezeeforall]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Wonderful to hear from so many forum members about your success. I hope to be where you are before too long!!!

[kidmambo]

Congratulations Melanie,

This is weird but your post way back there about your beat-up nissan really inspired me. Kinda reminded me of the saying, "The enemy of a Great life is a Good life."

Go for Great!

[DrVanessa]

I concur with the rest -- you definitely got it going on!

Best Wishes, Vanessa :)

[iRetiredAt25_dot_com]

Congrats!

I still remember my last day.... it was a beautiful day :)

[UNI41]

and am very glad this is the first thread I read on your site. It brings comfort to my soul. I have been looking around for the "how to's" and spending more money than it is apparently worth. My feelings are grasping this forum thing because I am now around the folks that know what it takes to make the internet work.

I purchased two internet sites and have no idea what to do with them. :sleep: Have been reading about e-books, affiliate sites, Google this, Google that, and realize that this is a university and the best university I'll ever attend. :punish: No pain, no gain!

I have a couple of ideas for e-books based on my search for employment (old ways of doing things) habit and it looked to me that even though I may have opted out of accepting the work (9 2 5):rolleyes: doesn't mean that there are not others that would gladly accept $1000 - $2000 per week with the proper guidance/information. Question one: what's a good source for writing an e-book? Question two: should I consider establishing myself in the Google campaign or the like, before vernturing into a time consuming book?

I'm leaning towards question two or something equivalent to a small stream or brook of flowing money that is easily tapped into in order to buy me time to write the ebooks.

[UNI41]

I'm so hungry, I forgot to thank you for the dinner!

[toonie25]

Congrats, that is really exciting for you!

[melanied]

thanks! :D

[JCP]

That is Awesome!

COngratulations!

[BigBadBaZillions]

Congrats!

it's harder than most people think, but definitely do-able depending on your strategy.

There are so many to get started from the beginning. I personally did super well with PPC arbitrage and evolved towards focusing on affiliate marketing with CPAs and of course Clickbank

[UNI41]

Wow, it is a maze out there is ciberspace. I start looking in one direction and fine myself somewhere I had no intention on going.

I read Holly Mann's Book "Honest Riches" which helped me get a website up. I dropped the other websete for now so I can focus my attention on one thing.

It is an act of desparation site with more work to do, but I got it up, making me one step closer to my goal. You can check it out at www.uni41.com.

I would love the feed back. I know! Adwords....

[moneyforme2]

Great job way to go hope that you keep making that money. Wow just great news, love to hear it.

yes...don't give up! a lot of the things that you try are not going to work out as well as you think they will. lol.

that doesn't mean anything except that you should analyze, re-evaluate, tweak the plan, and move forward.

It,s A Great Feeling Isn't It? Congradulations And Best Wishs

[secret33.com]

You must have done very well in your online business to decide to quit your regular job.

In your post, you didn't say what was it that you did that succeeded so well.

Therefore I went to your website to see what you offer.

Online business is no longer as easy and profitable as it used to be 3-5 yrs ago.

Therefore to succeed so much that you had to quit your job is a big achievement.

[Tassie_Tiger]

Hi there and Congratulation's its no mean feat to have the drive to get what you want out of life and Melanied you have all those qualities, to not only drive yourself but also to win.

Just remember each day, is a day closer to your Goals, and keep keeping on and you will make and we are all barrickan for you.

I'm only new here but that makes no difference we are all out to try and win, and you have encouraged us all the more, so three cheer's for Melanied.
From Tassie_Tiger.:)

[Tassie_Tiger]

Hi there Reina,
Gee I'm really encouraged and want to thank you for your honesty, you see a lot of people in the world today, don't even know that you might be blind, but you have special Giftings from God.

And He will use those Gifting to benifit both you and Himself, and the world will be a better place, because of Your sacrificial love to share from your heart.
I want to take this opportunity, to say thank you Ewealth, for such a great place you have made available, for every one no matter what Race or Creed, and always remember Folks as my dear old Dad said when i was young and a bit ratical he said no matter what colour people are there are two things in their lives that cannot be changed.

Their Blood is still Red like your's, and each one has a Finger Print that no one else has the same. Wow thats true, and we are all unique.
So God Bless you Reina, for shareing. you are an:angel:

[strugglingnewbie]

Congrats and thank you for the encouragement. I am just starting out with some rebate processing, have never set up a blog, new to the whole artlicle thing....but a quick study. I just have never taken the time to find out what is out there for me to be able to work at home. To be honest it has always sounded to good to be true. I even started this venture still thinking that might be the case but I had to try because I am not going to be satisfied until I see for myself.

So you can see why your post has been very timely for me this week.

thank you again and best wishes.......

Congratulations Melanied! Bet you feel on top of the world!

Ya know what ya gotta do next dontcha? *evil grin*

Write a step by step ebook on exactly how you did it, publish it on Clickbank and get a load of affiliates selling it to make youz rich! <j/k>

Seriously, very well done and I hope your income grows and grows. :)

[Lila Diller]

Actually, that's a good idea--to publish an ebook! I'd buy it!

[LisaM]

Great for You! You are my inspiration. I just got started this week with clickbank. I have tried before and have given up whenever I got discouraged. But I am going to stick with it this time. I have read many success stories here on EWealth and the most important thing I have learned is that it takes time, patience and hard work.
Good luck to you!

[peterlh35]

congratz thats the way to go.

[melanied]

Wow, I can't believe how long it's been since I've been back in this thread - people are still reading it and posting in it - that ROCKS! :D

Thanks, you guys!

I've been reading this thread since day one! You are doing what everyone here wants to do, get rid of their job!

[opportunities]

it also kind of makes me laugh to myself when my friends tell me how "lucky" i am to not have to go to a traditional job. :D they have no idea the sacrifices i made to be this "lucky." lol.

Luck is a created through the sacrifice of the persistent and the prepared.

Good Job...

[FighterSpirit]

Congrats Bro!!!

[rocketboy]

Congrats on making it happen for you. I know it must have been a lot of work.

[AllanGardyne]

Hi melanied, I see it's well over a year since you quit your job and started this thread. Perhaps you'd like to tell us more about what you've been up to since then?

It's 10 years since I quit my job. I remember driving to work and grumbling to my wife, "I don't have time for this. I've got better things to do!"

One day, instead of going to my desk at work I just kept on walking and walked right into my boss's office. I'll never forget the look of surprise on her face when I told her I didn't have time for her job any more. :)

If any of you are getting close to quitting, just picture yourself sacking your boss. Boy, it feels good. Like a huge weight has been lifted from your shoulders.

My business took off like a rocket immediately after I quit my job. I could suddenly focus all my attention on doing things that built MY business, instead of spending most of my waking hours thinking about how I could help a big corporation.

It's so great to have freedom! I'm headed up to Napa tomorrow, and Tahoe for a week next month.

In addition to my own personal business, I also have a couple of deals going separately with my business partner that have to do with the music industry and promotion.

Basically, life is awesome. :D

[wchua24]

ei thanks for sharing this .

[headflood]

One of the best keys to actually making some profit online for me was being able to stay focused on my daily goals. With so many links and site surfing all day long it's soooooo easy to get a 2 hour distraction and waste your day away...

Thanks for all the Kudo's guys.

[youbetcha1018]

Congratulations melanied! I hope you'll be more successful in life...:)

[ewealthwizard]

there were many factors that contributed to the growth of my business, but ewealth absolutely is the main component.

truthfully, even though i've gotten some great information from the boards, information is not the most valuable thing i've gotten from here - that would be an opportunity to glimpse the thought process of highly successful people.

early last summer, i decided to read through every thread on the board in order to get to know the personalities on the board and mentally separate who on here was actually successful and doing it and who was just a surfer/poster. i narrowed it down to a list of about ten people who seemed to have reputations on the board for being successful and well-respected. then i started following those peoples' comments on the board to get a glimpse into how they approached business ventures and what their perspectives were.

the main thing i noticed that was true about them that was VERY different from how i approached things was that they A) trusted their own ideas and B) did not hesitate in implementing them.

when i stopped trying to follow other people's programs and starting emulating the success principal i picked up here of trusting my OWN ideas and trying them, that's when i started making real money.

i know it may seem like an exceedingly obvious thing that i should have known already, haha, but it's a BIG principal i learned, it absolutely changed my life, and ewealth is where i learned it...so THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! :D

Hello Melanied, Congratulations!

Your an inspiration for me to work harder on building my business empire so that sometime time in the near future I could definitely follow your success footprints.

Hope you could be a mentor for us newbies and be kind to guide us in every way.

How I wish you help me know the persons you've mentioned, her in ewealth that have a great role in your success standing!

[richguy]

I'm very happy to hear that another person quit his J.O.B and joined the internet marketing community :) U know I did the same thing I quit my job and then after a while someone called me from another company offering me an even bigger salary telling me that some people reccomended me. They called me I think 4 times :lol: and do u know what I did? :lol: I refused the well paid job cause I knew that in that same amount of time that I would have spent working for others I could have earned 10 times or even 100 times more money :). Good job and keep on the good work

[dien_08]

I also think I want focus on online marketing

[Rslegion]

Good luck with you new job:)

[Majella Anderson]

Hi Melanied, I read your post from March 4 2007 and it certainly made me sit up and take notice.

Thank you for sharing your comments - they are valuable for me.

[melanied]

Yes, designing my sites is one of my favorite parts of creating niche websites. :) It's really fun.

And I saw a few more people ask how I did it, and it's a combination of niche websites and list building. I also have some offline ventures that contribute to my income, as well.

I think it's great that you spent time seriously studying the forum and seeing what make successful posters stand out from the rest. I've been trying to do that too with bloggers that I look up to, maybe if I read every pixel of their sites, I can follow in your footsteps!

[Addie]

That has got to be the very best feeling in the world!!! I'm so looking forward to that day! Good for you

[melanied]

Thanks! It's a great feeling. :D

I admit, there are some things I miss about my job. Mainly the students. But I wouldn't give up my freedom for anything now!

[webfltrs]

Well, you can still stay in touch, and who knows, maybe in the future you will have more students...and you will have more freedom as their teacher! That's what's so great about being independent...you create your own goals.

[luckey4321]

Great job! I know it feels good to finally say goodbye to corporate time clocks and hello to crafting your own destiny with your own determination and dilligence.

You're a motivational tool I will use to push myself toward even greater accomplishments! Cheers!

Congratulations! It's a nice feeling isn't it :angel:

[mr127500]

Awesome, its good to see people taking and applying the knowledge given in here. Thats what its all about.

[widmaer]

I can definitely relate to what your saying melanied.. about not sleeping much, and literally eating, breathing, sleeping Internet Marketing, all that is left to do now is to earn enough to call it quit, but I feel that is is somethig coming soon :)

[cheshire]

This has to be the most popular thread on EWealth! Its almost 2 years running now!

[wlrahilly]

Good job! You must be estatic. It's such a good feeling to reach one's goals. :)

[tim-buchalka]

Hey, I'm late into this thread, but congrats. You're probably on your way to your first million now if not already there :)

I quit my high paying consulting gig last april to focus full time on living the dream Internet Marketing and now run a pretty successful membership site, and have a range of products.

It feels great getting up when I want, and waking up to a new day with a decent pile of cash already earned!

I virtually cannot remember the day job, getting up early, putting on a suit, etc.

Love it!

Hope I can inspire others to say go for your dreams you can do it!

Cheers

[cienik]

wow great

[redspin17]

Hey melanied, thanks for making this thread, it's been inspiring to read. And congrats!

How has it been going lately? I bet it must be a relief to not have to worry about getting laid off in this economy. You are in control, and you create your own security.

[theupdown]

i wish i could do the same!

[rafaelapolinario]

Congratulations, Melanied

So how was it going lately? Hope everything is doing great on your online business.

And this thread has been up for two years, yaay! you must have earned a lot by now.


Much success,

Rafael

[janyliz]

Even if I don't really know you well, except from reading a few post of you, I can tell that you lived your life to the fullest, even though it was the last day of your job, you still have a lots of opportunities along the way, good luck and god bless..

[janice2009]

Another late comer that would like to congratulate you Melanie. :) Feels great to be liberated from the shackles of office work right? So how's it goin so far? Any updates for the past three months' AM adventure?

[tru824]

Thats nice melanied but what are you going to do now?

[melanied]

Hey, everybody. :)

So, here's a new update to what I'm up to. I've actually moved into SEO and Social Media Consulting, mostly for entertainment industry clients. It's *REALLY* fun!

There are drawbacks - I don't have the complete and total freedom I had when I was just doing niche marketing (although my sites do still bring in money, they're not my focus anymore). However, on the upside, it's really fun getting to go to industry parties and getting taken on free trips and meeting famous people. :D

I think I'm gonna ride this train for a while. LOL

Congratulations Melanied :)

[RightMind]

Wow, very inspirational thread.
Seeing the determination it took you to achieve your goal actually makes me hopeful. It looks like there's a realistic chance of making a living with IM. The "instant, easy money!" kind of promises you often see always just made me skeptical.
Thanks for this.

[2d0k]

wheew! i read this thread from 1st page up to the last one.. congrats Melanied.. very inspiring.:)

[trinity69]

Way to go! You are an inspiration congratulations on your accomplishments.

[Eric-ProCash]

wow this thread is over 2 years old and the "congratulations are going strong" Mel how about an update on what you're currently up to and how the new job is treating you

[jinhu]

there were many factors that contributed to the growth of my business, but ewealth absolutely is the main component.

truthfully, even though i've gotten some great information from the boards, information is not the most valuable thing i've gotten from here - that would be an opportunity to glimpse the thought process of highly successful people.

early last summer, i decided to read through every thread on the board in order to get to know the personalities on the board and mentally separate who on here was actually successful and doing it and who was just a surfer/poster. i narrowed it down to a list of about ten people who seemed to have reputations on the board for being successful and well-respected. then i started following those peoples' comments on the board to get a glimpse into how they approached business ventures and what their perspectives were.

the main thing i noticed that was true about them that was VERY different from how i approached things was that they A) trusted their own ideas and B) did not hesitate in implementing them.

when i stopped trying to follow other people's programs and starting emulating the success principal i picked up here of trusting my OWN ideas and trying them, that's when i started making real money.

i know it may seem like an exceedingly obvious thing that i should have known already, haha, but it's a BIG principal i learned, it absolutely changed my life, and ewealth is where i learned it...so THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! :D
listen the people who is where u want to go
u made clever move.

[Nicholas Hunt]

Hi, Congratulations! Well, i wish i can be as lucky as your are. I too very much willing to quit my job, and just work at home, but cannot find a very reasonable paying work.

[SupaWIaff]

Melanie,
Congrats! I do know the feeling that you're going through. As for me, I'm finally making more money part time at home as an Online Affiliate Marketer, then I am working my full time job. But all of my success just came to me these past two months August and Sept 2009. And I still can't believe it!

I do love my full time job as well. With my online marketing and my full time job, I'm earning well over $140,000 a year. So it's still hard to give up my full time job. I'm hoping to earn that by year end all w/ my part time work online.

Congrats again!

[PStar777]

Melanie, i would say it's a bold step on your part and i appreciate your spirit 4 that. i hope you will do great in your new endeavors online. it's better be our own boss rather than be bossed around, right? Congrats again... maybe i'll also leave my full time job soon:) and i want to leave here with my mantra...hope for the best, plan for the worst:)

That's awesome Melanie. I remember my last day at my job - it was exciting but also nerve wrecking because I knew I was on my own and my income depended on me. Just stay on top of everything and keep on working even if you ate making a killing.

I was dumb and got lazy after making 15-20k a month - stopped working for a good 2 years and it Hurt me. Learn from me and keep on working no matter what!
