The Bragging Thread - Inspire A Newbie

So many ballers here and here I am making 500/month
(on autopilot.... big fan of procrastination :tongue:)

Inspiring to see how much some people earn online.

At the moment I am "happy" with € 2,000 per month.
But it's time for me to give more effort to earn serious money.
It's a shame that I didn't have 100% commitment given last year while the money is "up for grabs".

Account history from the month I started my agency, made $1800 as it was the month I worked the most so far due to no exams/studies, not so much sleep, but making more money that my teachers felt very very good. It's nothing compared to some of you fellas here, but thought I'd chip in.

@Marc, What kind of agency?

A digital agency that delivers front-end graphics : websites,logos,banners,apps,etc. Not something that could ever make me rich but something that I love doing.
 
My first post, been reading for couple of days and decided to join. Never even heard of this place until I followed referrals to wicked fire in SimilarWeb haha. I see some of the old faces :wink:

From a couple of sites on adsense over last few years.. There's more rev. from other sources, but for the sake of this bragging thread :smile: . .

I do not update this website. I do not even think about it.

Adsense is dead. Long live Adsense...
 
Hi! Well like many here I've just started making money online. I recently sold and built my first website for a client and did all of it remotely (never met the client). Here's a Stripe screenshot :smile: ~1281 USD

But I'm not planning on building websites for clients any longer. I'm presentely building my own eCommerce store. I hope I can pull a Tavin and come back to this thread in a few years having sold it for 2 commas.

This is the income from the last month. Approximately $80.

The site has been online for more than a year and cannot get more decent profits. I will have to explore other options (new sites or types of monetization) to make money online :(
 
Not in the same ballpark as a few of the guys here but doing well enough for now.

That's the figures from last month and there's a 110% bonus that gets paid on top of that. The Site's 12 months old and we've built it up to a team of 16 staff working for us now -- all working on SEO.

Plenty more to come. Keep grinding gentlemen.
 
For as much as I post and talk crap on this forum, I've not entered this thread yet. I just grabbed a screencap that I figured I'd share here.

Here's one of my accounts from just today:

That's organic traffic. No cost associated with acquiring those leads.

You new guys reading this, or guys who haven't found any success yet, keep your head down and keep grinding!
 
I'm no big swinging d*ck like some of the others here, but pretty happy with my journey so far.

Started playing around with the Amazon program last year and it happened quickly. Simply followed a niche site building course and it worked, and was (kind of) passive after that :smile:

Just get started and it will happen!
 
I want to contribute something different to this thread.

In the last 36 hours my business spent about $6,500 on sending traffic to a funnel where effectively the "buy" button was broken. A split test was set live late Monday night that was broke.

It hurts to know a simple oversight and careless error on my part resulted in $6,500 in advertising being wasted that would have been turned into ~$10,000 in revenue if the button wasn't broke.

The bragging and inspiration part of this comes from although it turns my stomach to make a mistake that costly, this won't really even matter on our bottom line.

Big pill to swallow mike, how could that go untested?? I'm sure you'll never let it happen again.

It was tested, it's just not black/white and all sorts of stuff can go wrong. Testing for everything before every test and with every change ends up slowing things down and hurting more than having an error every so often. It wasn't the first and won't be the last time.

The good news was that the "error" was not as bad as I originally thought and we were able to salvage the majority of lost customers so it didn't cost as much as I originally thought.

@NickEubanks nice e-commerce site! I'm a bit confused about selling a personal blog with your name in it. Isn't there much more potential damage to your brand/reputation than the upside from selling?

Thanks. TBH that bothered me at first, but it's not like it's my name domain.. and while it's relatively linked to me now, per the terms of the agreement I can tell the whole world that it's not me writing anymore, it's simply a "Nick," not necessarily me.

Very much in the same vein of the feelings expressed here by @Ryuzaki I felt it would be stupid not to take my opportunity to cash out; because things change and TBH I wasn't crazy about the brand.. it was a side project that developed into something sort of in-spite of itself.

I got a good piece of advice from a mentor that if I couldn't recreate it than it was even better that I cashed out, because that would be my maximum; and it's better to cash out at your peak then to miss the opportunity to monetize an asset and settle for a lesser amount.

More so, the true motivating factor was the concept that it may be my peak - which I refuse to believe and will not accept. I'll recreate it. Bigger. Better. I'll shit all over the mediocre success of that blog and won't even remember it by this time next year; it's all just fuel for the fire.

Sorry for the long-winded answer but you hit a soft spot; I'm going to crush that blog and it's not going to be my legacy. plain and simple.
