From Zero To One Million Dollars A Year In Sales

October Income - Progress to $10,000/month

Well things have been a rocking, and those who have taken the advantage, the people who are action oriented know what is going on.

I’m still on my goal to making $10,000/month and everything is going planned, how did I do for October? My goal in affiliate marketing was $1000/month by Sept 30th, [accomplished], it was $2,500/month by October 30th, and $5,000/month by November 30th.

To accomplish big goals, its good to break things down, breaking down goals into smaller goals to reach an objective is how to make a big task, seem easy with little tasks.

Well even though my of my campaigns were deactivated so I could switch them over to Tracking202, I still haven’t got them done, but I still pulled in past my goal. This month roughly:

• Rent: $1625
• RotaryEngineIllustrated.com & RebuildingRotaryEngines.com ~ $500
  • adsense
  • direct ad sale
  • kontera
  • TLA
• Prosper ~ $100
• Dividends ~ $33
• Affiliate Marketing : $3423 personal commissions

So I’m pleased, it puts me around $5600 + this month in gross income. Which means I doubled my income in 2 months. Although its easy to double income when the income is low. In the affiliate marketing world people would probably laugh at my commissions, but hey, from starting only on 8/23/07 and to 10/31/07 with a total commissions at $4393 in a little over 2 months, for just starting?

Prolegic Enterprises

This friday I’am signing more of the prolegic enterprises ownership over to my partners who are going to run with the business, this will free me up as I mentioned in my previous post to work full time on my web 2.0 project. On friday I’m signing over the bank accounts, and the domain names over to the business partners, and then I’m almost 80% out, but I still have some help I need to aid in before I’m completly out. What takes long time to get in, more often than not, takes a long time to get out of.

My House

Just today, I have officially signed over my house to a property management company here in Portland, they will be taking care of everything they charge $130/month to manage my house, and 1/2 of the 1st months rent of a new move-in when someone moves in. I have 4 people renting my house, unfortunately on paper only 2 of the bedrooms are legal bedrooms, because the basement windows are egressed. I will be doing some work to the house should be a couple thousand dollars to legalize the windows downstairs. With a property management company they cannot legally rent out a 4 bedroom house, if on paper its only two, unforuntately, I’m going to take a hit here.

Affiliate Marketing Mastermind Group

The affiliate marketing group we’ve been working with is seriously doing incredible. I’m quite in awe how well everyone is doing. Every who has started, and actually DID WORK, I mean did SOMETHING, that attended our online conference has already made more than $100 within 2 week period.

There is basically a 100% success ratio for everyone who has started, everyone who is doing it, is already making money. Several of the guys were doing $10/day pretty quickly, now there up to $20-$30/day, and some are even at $50/day ALREADY. within about 2 weeks.

That is incredible, to generate an extra PASSIVE INCOME STREAM of $50/day commmissions within less than 2 weeks work?

The reason they are able to move fast is we have a 2-3 hour conference explaining everything, how it works, the tools, a support team, help, a collaboration center to aid out. We are able to move much faster when someone who is already doing something can help us out. Having a mentor can dramatically increase your learning curve by several years.

So everyone is doing awesome, I may be closing off the group soon, if your still interested you can contact me if you wish to join. However I’m getting pretty full and not sure how much I will be able to do the introduction soon. What I’m mostly interested in is making a real mastermind group with a group of 10-20 people, which is about how many people who are in the group now, all contacted, via instant messenger, to make $10,000/month individually, a powerhouse of association.

San Francisco and Silicon Valley

I’m currently back in Portland right now finalizing my business with prolegic enterprises, and my house [done]. I attended the Silicon Valley CodeCamp, the first of many networking events I will be attending down in Silicon Valley.

I did successfully find a place it took awhile, I needed a place that didn’t require a 1 year lease, and that had parking. Parking is not very available in San Fran, and EVERYONE wants a 1 year lease. But I did find a place downtown, check this out. $1500/month for a studio, included is parking, on a 3-month lease. 15 hundred a month for a studio. I love it, it costs more, because there is a lot more money to be made there, its all relative.

Here are some pictures from codecamp, you know your at codecamp when u see free parking by google. “I must be in the right place!” Thanks to my buddy Steven Truong, who told me about this event. He is another internet entrepreneur and has a blog. check him out too.

My black honda s2000 all the way down to Silicon Valley from Portland for the win!

I met a lot of people there, unfortunately there wasn’t as many entrepreneurs as I expected. Most of them were microsoft .net programmers, working for big companies. But I did manage to meet 3 other entrepreneurs. One had a software product they sold to big financial companies for $100,000 every quarter, they had a bunch of clients, so he was making money. He programmed it himself, marketed it, now they have referrals and he has employees program it, he is still the lead developer. [awesome, i met someone who does what I want to do].

Alot of people have linkedin profiles, not facebook profiles, so I’m going to be making a linked in profile soon. I did meet another gentlemen I’m getting together with when I move down to san fran permantently next week, he moved from New York, New York, to Silicon Valley to start a web business. The strangest thing ever too, so he just moved like 2 weeks ago to DO EXACTLY what I want to do, start a web company in silicon valley moved his whole family down here, hes interested in adsense so were getting together. We started talking because we had the same laptop, I HAVE NEVER met anyone with the same laptop as me, it is a really unique laptop an ultra-portable one that was pretty expensive, and it was so interested first time I meet him he has the same laptop, that none else has, and were both moving to the silicon valley in the same month to start an internet company, and now were meeting together. Incredible.

You know what a FREAKIN AWESOME BLOG TIP is, that I have never seen, and don’t really care to much because I don’t wana be another wannabe blogger who copies what other people do. But

PICTURES, make a good blog, I bet u don’t see that tip. why, A PICTURES SAY A THOUSNAD…..

WORDS.

Try more pictures in your blog. ps: if your not blogging, ur missing out, its the greatest networking tool 2nd to facebook and social networking sites.

Wes, Why are you moving to San Francisco?

I’m actually surprised at how many times I get this question. Silicon Valley is absolutely the best place to start an internet company, all of the resources are down there all of the big names. I get asked this so much, yes, I could start a internet business out of my house in Portland. Yes I could even do it in Alaska.

There are SO MANY networking events in Silicon Valley for internet entrepreneurs, the angel investors are down there, alot of money is floating around, almost 75% of the startups you’ll see making it big on the internet are located in silicion valley, the big events are always down there. Google is down there, apple is down there, facebook is down there, alexa.com [I drove by it without even knowing] is down there, prosper.com is down there, techcrunch is down there, digg.com is down there, meebo is down there. There all freakin down there.

So I’m there eating in some random restaurant, and guys are talking web across the table. Everyone drives around in BMWs and porches, or higher-end cars, when most of the housing in san fran is over 1 million, people have spendable income more than Portland.

In short if you still don’t understand, you really should check it out, just look around and see all the successful entrepreneurs on the internet, and MORE OFTEN THAN NOT there in the silicon valley.

You can gamble in most states, but Las Vegas is where the action is. MAJOR DIFFERENCE
if you want to be an actor, there is probably a studio in your town too, but LA, AND HOLLYWOOD is where u want to be.

TECH IS NO DIFFERENT, even though its on the WEB. u can gamble anywhere, but LAS VEGAS is where the action is at. Silicon Valley is where the action is at for web 2.0 internet entrepreneurs, period, ask any big web 2.0 entrepreneur and I bet they’ll agree with you. I plan on meeting many people who have very successful internet businesses, and I forgot to mention, there are TONS of programmers down there. You can even go into an internet cafe and its loaded by wifi programmers. This one company went in, asked if anyone knew PHP or something like that, a couple people stood up, and hired them on the spot in a freaking wifi cafe.

Silicon Valley, is the spot for internet entrepreneurs. I’m going to make it happen, so I’m there.

Decision, the death of all other options. I’m going to do it right this time, I’ve failed enough I’m almost ready, maybe not quite yet, but getting to the point with activitiy knowledge, learned knowledge, books, conversations, education, networks, that I’m ready or almost ready, to build a company to over one million dollars a year in sales like Ryan Allis.

If WesMahler doesn’t convince you, heres the first blurp on silcion valley on wikipedia:

Silicon Valley is the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area in Northern California in the United States. The term originally referred to the region’s large number of silicon chip innovators and manufacturers, but eventually came to refer to all the high-tech businesses in the area; it is now generally used as a metonym for the high-tech sector. Despite the development of other high-tech economic centers throughout the United States, Silicon Valley continues to be the leading high-tech hub because of its large number of engineers and venture capitalists.

So Whats Next, For November

Here comes November, well, on the 1st I can move into my new apartment, so in early November, I will officially be moved into my new apartment down in San Fran.

I will generate more than $5,000 / month via affiliate marketing in November, to reach my goal of $10,000/month income by the end of the year.

There is already some web 2.0 entrepreneur networking events that I have planned for November this month.

I may be diluting two of my Corporations, BW ONline, Inc and Jingyee, Inc, and converting them both into an LLC. And then creating a new C CORPORATION, in CA or OR, I haven’t decided yet which state, to build a big business out of.

The affiliate marketing group most members will be at about $500/month+ easily this next month, and we will be going on stage 2 of our conferences, which is more in depth dynamic keyword insertion, tracking keywords, optimization, utilizing landing pages, and much more fun stuff.

I just got an iphone so in San Fran, I won’t get lost anymore. My dad just ran into my s2000, so were getting it repaired on wednesday, and then on thursday November, I’m in San Fran.

I found abunch of events in san fran, by simply tools like Meetup.com Eventful.com, everything is at your finger tips, if you haven’t looked, there are probably events in your area already that ur missing out in. I went to events in Portland, but in Silcion Valley its like x20.

Oh I’ll include this, they just sent me another check, I thought I had switched over to direct depoists, this is income earned from 10/1/07 to 10/15/07.

want to get some checks like this, AIM me at chinkeyez 09. Don’t email me, please. You can join our group for a little bit longer. Its going to be cut off soon, if you hate AIM, use meebo. if u refuse to use aim, sry, you can’t join our group then!Oh and I guess last thing, my dedicated server is now all set up, I’m going to be switching tracking202 over to dedicated hosting, came just in time. Anyone using tracking202 I’ll send out a mass email before we switch over to new server, there should only be LIMITED downtime, at unpeak hour, for sure. You’ll be notified so you know when it’ll happen.

Wow, just wow is what I’ll call the title of this blog post.

Things have been going super incredible fantastic. Affiliate Marketing CRAZY MONEY.

I haven’t posted my results yet for week 4, but I’ll post some results today. and It’ll give you a rough estimate on where I’m.  I’ll just do the end of month result this month, because I might have just already hit near $10,000/month.

As I believed earlier, my affiliate income has completely skyrocketed, I’ve had about a 200% increase in gross income every week.  Here is my statistics:

$10,000/month is only about $333/day.

With affiliate marketing brining in over $280 today so far. [day not even over at time of posting this]. Rent estimated daily income is $50/day, and then include adsense $10+/day, and then other stuff. But just stopping their, if today this thing again, can we say I’m on track?

Interested in Affiliate Marketing? Contact Me, my buddy GrayHat showed me, this guy is PRO.  You’ll get everything you want in life if you just help enough people help get what they want.

The key to success is through helping other people becoming successful, thats why GrayHat associates with others, has helped several people get started in the industry.  The one who makes the most money, is the servant leader who helps other people make a living. 

I’m wiling to work with you, and join myself and other as go for $10,000/month, now $20,000/month in affiliate marketing. Contact me via here, lets talk, I love to network anyways.  Thanks to GrayHat, and JonWaraas, Doug my affiliate managers, for showing me some things.

I’am in Columbus, OH right now, it is 8:21AM, I haven’t been able to get much work done here because I’ve mostly been visiting with family.  However, I may be doing a real estate deal with my uncle now, and canceling one of the ones I had in Corvallis due to difficulty of renting it out in a college town when everyone has found a place to stay in.

So how was week 4, lets run the numbers.

•  Adsense: $72.72
• CPAEmpire: $425 [~100% increase from last week]
• Kontera: $9.47
• TLA: ~$13
• Prosper:~$23
• BeaverRent ?? [not even going to count it any more]

Overall everything is going pretty goal, I hit my first objective to obtain $35/day gross income via affiliate marketing, I have accomplished that for September, next month is to obtain $85/day gross income via affiliate marketing.  Shouldn’t be to hard, I was able to hit over $100+ in one day this week so I know it is not that far away.

For the month, here is the income, I’am no longer including BeaverRent income into my goal to $10,000/month, more so because I’m not sure if it is even making what I projected earlier this week, so I’m going to just going to leave it out.

Income for Sept 2007

• COPEAC: $4.75
• GetClicky: $19.99
• TLA: ~$45
• Kontera: $52
• Propser: ~$100
• Adsense: $313 [A huge drop lately]
• CPAEmpire: $941
• Rent: $1625

Total it comes out to about $3,100/month passive residual gross.  Cool, so this first month I was able to almost generate an additional $1000/month via AM.  Next month, I will hit $2500/month via AM, which will boost my monthly income to $4,500ish.  The following money after that, my AM income will grow to $5000/month, and will put me around $7000/month passive income by the end of November.

The other $3000/month I have determined I will achieve via rental properties.

Goals the double edged swords. One of my goals is to own/co-own three (3) pieces of real estate by the end of the year.  I’am all ready to go to purchase a building down in corvallis, however, I’m looking at them, and I could potentially buy one right now and fulfill my goal of having 3 buildings but it would seriously handicap me.  Because of the market if I was to buy right now in a college town I would be sitting on a vacant house for sometime, in that my goal to purchase one house down there before the end of the year would put me in a financially bad situation.

Sometimes trying to hit a goal, can cost to much. In that you may hit something, but at what cost, was it worth it?  There are many goals that can hinder you, and goals that you hit but at the cost of not having any family interact, or the cost of not taking care of your health, or at the cost of buying a building just to own 3, even though it would be a negative outcome for your finances?

So I’m running into the dilemma, 3 months left, and my house in corvallis is not going to work.  It would be easy to say, and have a lazy mind, turn it off and say wes, this just isn’t going to work, maybe I just won’t buy three because…… No, shut up, is what you gota say to yourself, and instead I need to find another way.  It will be difficult, but hard, I always have the how can I attitude, so you can immediately take a situtation and look for ways to make it work.  It is going to now be extremely hard for me to purchase 3 buildings before the end of the year, but I’m going to make it happen.

Keeping an open mind, I’m here in Ohio and I actually just spoke with my uncle, and together we now may just purchase a house in Portland, OR and do a 20% downpayment, the investment will cost around 40k down payment, I will split the down payment between us.  This will give me the abilitly to get prequalified to purchase a non-owner occupied investment property at 20% down, and buy something in a even more appreciating market with a market that it is easier to rent it out in.

I’m calling my mortgage broker today and see what I can do, my other friend from the military just arrived in Portland today, I will meet with him on Wednesday, and we will be getting going with him to purchase a house between us, and another friend, which will be the 3rd.  So always keep an open mind, so goals can be a double edged sword, they can do good, but they can also do bad.

Here is a tip: If you set goals, and you don’t hit them, it can hurt you.  Setting goals and not hitting them is like lying to yourself, making commitments and not following through.  Have you ever set a goal, missed it, and then set it again next month, only to miss it again.  See everytime you miss a goal you become a goal failiure in someone who is unable to set goals, and misses them everytime and then just doesn’t ever seem to hit goals.  The goals are elusive and they escape from you, setting a goal you can’t hit, might as well not set a goal at all.  Everytime we fail a goal it throws off our pysche, and it becomes a negative, because we look back at all the times we have failed to hit our goals, and it becomes what we do best, failing goals.  That is why we need to have a goal process that we have developed ourself in a way that you can hit your goals 100% of the time every time, I have set my goals in that way I’ll blog about it later.

It is bad to set goals and not hit them, because it starts the process of failing your goals everytime.  Its not a positive, its a negative, and can, and does hinder from ever being able to confidential believe in yourself to be able to hit goals and accomplish them.

So this month went great for AM, it went horrible for my real estate goals, first buying a building that I couldn’t rent out, so we pulled out, and then come to the realization that for my past 2 months effort to buy something in Corvallis, another city, if I do it now before the end of the year, its going to hurt me.  So I have to re-change my plan and now shoot for reorganizing goals, new game plan, and take immediate action.  Massive activity to produce massive results.

Week 3, does time go fast or what? Pretty soon we’ll be dead…ly rich.

Ok here goes week three, just been rocking it, on avg work time ~12-16hrs/day for this week.

• Adsense: $69
• Proser: ~$23
• TLA: ~$13
• Kontera: ~$15
• BeaverRent: ~+-200?
• CPAEmpire: $246 [a 200%+ increase from last week]
• COPEAC: $4.75
• GetClicky: $19.99

Watch my affiliate income grow to $5,000/month next month. I’m way ahead on my 1, 2 and 3 month goals leading into november to be on my way to $10,000/month. I’m 150% confident that I’m going to reach my goals.

Goals AGAIN:$10,000/month by Jan 1st, 2009, 3 houses by Jan 1st, 2009. I might be deciding to be in San Fran on the Jan 1st 2009 also.

I’m going to be making several offers this week to purchase my second house. f yea. AM is crazy business. Much props to my mentor Gray Hat, this guy is awesome knows the business makes enough money to put him in the top 1-5% of US population. He has helped me out, and it is because of him, his help, and my determination and my big WHY that I will pull through and make things happen/

I may also add an additional goal to own a yellow ferrari F355 F1 Spyder in 2008, although I haven’t decided on it yet, but I will probably make a decision sometime soon. Goals, need immediate goals, and with mommentum to carry you through to the next level. After this month I’ll have the momentum of a train with 50 cars attached to the back of it. try stopping that train.

You know your in financial momentum when your cashflow and networth is steadily increasing at a faster and faster rate.
