From Zero To One Million Dollars A Year In Sales

I’ll have to admit, we have made some mistakes during our launch, but I’m the one to blame. Although we are still gaining momentum in our marketing push the initial launch was quite shaky, if we had to do our initial launch into the market place again I’d absolutely do it differently. But what is done is done, and now we must work quadruple hard to improve our situation as much as possible.

It is quite clear that the product we have just introduced into the marketplace is quite controversial due to the required information that our product must store in order for it to work correctly. What has happened, and although we expected their to be some hesitation to use it, I’m not sure we fully grasped the magnitude of the situation to know that prior to launching we should have spent significantly more time in building our credibility.

The basic fundamental question that is being asked about our product is not if the actual product is good, in fact, even some of the negative (but helpful) feedback that some people give mentions that, “they think the product looks absolutely fantastic, but they feel uncomfortable that their PPC information is stored on the Tracking202 servers.” Almost everyone agrees the product looks great, what the question of the day for everyone is if our company has integrity and if they can trust their data with us.

What we did wrong is that we mainly focused on the product, building the features, adding this, adding that, and while all that was great, what was more important, than the product was that we should have invested as much, if not more time, into thinking of ways to make our product more credible. We showed how the product worked, we have videos, we have screenshots, we have hours and hours invested into our product and although we also invested time into explaining the reasons behind Tracking202 being completely free, we should have spent more time explaining it clearly.

My focus has now shifted into seeing how we can make Tracking202 a more credible company, whether its adding HackerSafe Icons, or moving more towards self-hosted scripts, or showing pictures of the world class datacenter we are moving into, or gathering more testimonials from users or networking with other influential people in the industry who can help us gain credibility, this is what I will be focusing on now. Here are some lessons that I have learned, and I will share my lessons with you.

• When you are handling other peoples’ information, especially information related how people make a living, you should focus on making your product feel safe, secure and as trustworthy as you possibly can. You absolutely have to make sure your users data is completely safe on multiple different levels of security. If you manage peoples’ information, the success or failure of your company can be attributed to the effectiveness in which you handle other’s data.
• When you build a company, the marketplace is going to judge you as an individual and your personal integrity and ability to accomplish what it is you say your going to accomplish. This goes on understanding that YOU, branding YOU, becoming AWARE that people are going to watch you and judge YOU everything you do. They are going to ASK if I can trust this person, can this person deliver, is he or she true to their word? Your customers will google your name, look at your blog, look at whom you’ve been interviewed with and they will make a conscious decision on whether or not they like you, which will either make you look good, or it will make you look bad. Be very cautious with your name, and what you say on your blog because people will read it, as many people are now reading mine to see if the CEO of the Tracking202 program has good values, and if they would trust him.
• If you plan on marketing your products through forums, it would be wise to invest some time first to contact the administrator of the forum and bounce your idea off to them prior to launching a promotional thread on their forum.
• Be as personal as you can in your company while it is small, you want people to feel they can contact you directly if they have a problem. They should believe if they have a problem or question, you are there to answer it immediately because you have always been prompt in responding. Customer Service, and replying to questions AS SOON AS POSSIBLE is extremely important. Whether it be a business, or even a blog, respond to your emails.
• When you decide to make a long-term decision, in our case, making our product completely free (which is now going to affect us for several years down the road) it would be wise, when making a long-term decision, to take a very long-time in really thinking everything through, before making a decision. Take a long time, before making a decision that can have a long-term effect; make sure you think it, the last thing you want to do is make a quick decision that ends up begin a negative one for a very long time.
• If there is controversy about you, your company, or your product take a considerable amount of time, and explain your reasons for why it is, you, your company, or product is doing what it is and the way it is. In that specifically I’m addressing the fact that I failed, I failed to explain in-depth why we have decided to launch our product free, and I’m going to spend a considerable amount of time in explaining to everyone why it is we are doing what we have done, and our strong reasons behind it. Be clear about yourself, don’t allow people to second guess, or question you, explain your reasons well, so there are no questions, and that you provide reasons and even examples of why you choose to do what it is you are doing.

I’m now going to being the process of explaining first on my blog why it is we decided to make our product free to the market place, and our reasons behind it. This will be the start of what will most likely become a very in-depth article explaining the main reasons why Tracking202 is free. And let me start out by what tracking202 is not.

• Tracking202 is NOT free because we want to steal peoples’ keyword information and use it to our own benefit.
• Tracking202 is NOT free because we want to shave off peoples’ traffic and use it to our own benefit.

Here is why Tracking202 is free, and here is why even though it is free it can still generate a significant revenue stream without taking advantage of anyone’s data. We are simply following the business model of one of the most successful companies in the internet industry, Google. Google provides a variety of free services that people use, you know many of them, and they have lots of products that I’m sure you use on a daily basis. Google had free a free search engine for several years and for the longest time they did not make any money, but they gained a user base, a dedicated user base, and overtime their user base became so big that they were eventually able to develop additional products and services towards their users which will ultimately made them one of the most profitable companies in the world today.

We are offering a free product like Google once did. The goal of Tracking202 per say isn’t to make a bunch of money to begin with, if it was we would have charged a monthly subscription fee for it, which was the original plan. But instead we decided we would rather build a free application for the Affiliate Marketing industry, we are interested in gaining a large user dedicated user base of people who use our applications. To keep it alive during our time we are going to generate money through advertising, and negotiating referral agreements between affiliate networks for referring affiliates to them.

As all of you know hosting a website isn’t really that expensive, the costs aren’t extremely high. Even though I have invested thousand of dollars into server equipment and our hosting is going to be in the thousands of dollars soon a month, that isn’t anything a couple good advertisement deals couldn’t support. We are just simply trying to stay alive in the next year or two, and eventually come with additional products and services to our user base and generate significantly more income than we would have if we just charged for our tracking services.

That is the real reason that Tracking202 is free, I hope that explains it more clearly in-depth our reason for making a free product for the industry. Our product has had a lot of controversy about it now, and this is my answer to explain our reasons so there is no questions left unanswered to the affiliate marketing community. This is our reason, and it is the real reason why Tracking202 is free for you and anyone else to use.

To be 100% genuine and honest to everyone out there, I’m not a super affiliate and I do not plan on ever being a super affiliate. I’m a web 2.0 developer who invest into real estate, I do affiliate marketing as of now because it is the best way I know of right now that I can generate enough income to live on and program at the same time. I even wrote it on my blog post before I got even to involved much with Tracking202, if I focused and hit a monthly net income of $20,000 a month doing affiliate marketing I would completely stop doing AM and start to program full-time.

And the reason I would stop completely is honestly everyone, I do not want to have to put up campaigns all day, I have been working full-time for the past 3 years almost 10-15 hours a day consistently, day in and day out, I will keep going but I get tired sometimes, I’m human and I honestly do not want to have to work setting up PPC campaigns every single day! That does not excite me, that isn’t what I want to do, that isn’t success to me personally.

We had someone offer over $100,000 for our product before it was even released into the public, I don’t need to be low and steal other peoples’ information to make a living and ruin my personal image, My Name, on the internet over someone’s keywords that I could have just found myself by using a keyword generation tool, or someone else text ads when everyone can see them anyways when you search a keyword, or someone’s landing page where again anyone can simply copy and paste their html and use it themselves.

If we needed money that bad, we could raise a round of investment right now for a percentage of the company and have enough money just from that to live on and continue to develop the application full time. I’ve already had an offer by a family member but I’m not interested in doing that, because we don’t need the money; we are a bootstrapping web 2.0 startup that has expenses, but they are maintainable. At the end of the day, and you might disagree with me on this but if you actually look at my ‘ACTIONS’, because actions speak louder than words, you can take a look at me and see if I’m ultimately telling the truth.

At the end of the day, I will generate more personal net worth, maybe not (cashflow) but I will generate more net worth using my knowledge of (AJAX, PHP, MYSQL and other Web 2.0 technologies) developing internet applications and services that can be used by potentially millions of people, with options of selling out, or doing an IPO than I ever would setting up campaigns all day. That is not to say setting up campaigns is bad, my friends and associates make way more than me right now, but that is not how I build income, my friend said to me once, “to each his own,” in that there is a lot of money in PPC AM, but that isn’t my interested, that’s not what I’m passionate about, that is not what I’m best at. I’m best at developing web 2.0 applications on the Internet that people use and it is what I enjoy doing.

And I think if you were to go back, and look at my previous blog posts, you would see my PASSION about building a world class company, and potentially selling it for several million dollars in the future is all along, what my focus has been. If I don’t need the money from Affiliate Marketing, I’m not going to work on affiliate marketing because my energy is better investing into building a world class company that over one million dollars a year in sales, which is highly scalable, highly systematic, that employs people and has a serious opportunity to be acquired in the future.

And I believe you can see if I’m telling a truth because you do not have to believe what I say, because you can look at what my actions, because my actions speak louder than words. As I grow older I do not look at what another says, I watch what another does. Those were the great words spoken by Andrew Carngie, and I ask you to apply them to me, ultimately you will see my actions will prevail. I have moved to another city, Silicon Valley to build an internet company, I’m bootstrapping and doing everything I need to do to stay afloat.

I spend my time reading PHP and MYSQL books, books about FlickR and how they scaled their website, books on PHP Security, geek stuff about how apache security works, how SSLs work, how MySQL indexes work, how to setup load balancers, memcache servers, mysql replication servers, backup servers. I go to PHP and MYSQL meetups and talk with other developers, I spend all the time I possible can programming and learning how to program, I only do affiliate marketing 2-3 hours a week just because I have to have some sort of income to live off of. Other than that I would personally rather not work on any campaigns.

I have so many features I have to program it’s not even funny. There is so much work to do and the to do list gets bigger by 5-7 items every day, and I can only program so much per day. All my affiliate managers know my personal affiliate leads in volume has gone down significantly because all I do is develop the application, they know that, and they would tell you that if you asked them. I’m not a super affiliate, and I do not plan on being a super affiliate because I do not want to be a super affiliate. I want to be a successfully webpreneur who is known for developing website application that thousands and millions of people use on a daily basis and be immersed in the web 2.0 startup community and really be apart of the innovation of web technologies.

I wrote this out of my heart, I poured a lot out here and I really hope you can get a better glimpse into Tracking202 and my personal philosophies in life. If you are a PPC Affiliate Marketer I hope you would give us, and yourself a chance to really see how the Tracking202 product works and test out its features. And just remember there are bad and good people in the world, some people would return a wallet they have found lost on the ground, I hope that you give us a chance to show you that we are one of those good people who are really trying to help others.

Its 1am right now, I’m getting ready to head down to San Francisco tomorrow morning to look for a place to live. I’ve been wanting to go down there for over a year now and it is even bad of me to not have done it earlier, but I’m extremely focused right now and going to do what I have to do, and that is build a large C Corporation Web 2.0 Internet Company that has a highly scalable, systematic, duplictable internet product that will sign up people for a monthly subscription basis, build a huge client base employee people and build a company that does over one million dollars in gross sales. Since I made this blog over a year ago, I have never changed my above description because it is my mission. So I’m going down tomorrow in my new Honda S2000 to look for a studio or 1bedroom apartment in the heart of San Francisco.

San Francisco is like the coolest location ever, just looking at an aerial view, it is surrounded on 3 sides by water, San Francisco has the most expensive real estate in the united states last time I checked, more expensive than new york, When u look at it from aerial, you’ll see wow thats a cool spot.

All I need is a roof over my head, laptop, wifi, food, car, business suit, and a list of all of the networking events in San Francisco for internet entrepreneurs to develop this company. All I’m going to do all day is program and goto networking events, read business books on building businesses, and associate with other internet entrepreneurs down there who have the lifestyle I want already and have them mentor me, in return I’m also going to help other people do it in the process.

In order to accomplish what I need to do, I need to focus and figure out my objectives, my goals are now going to be somewhat shifted now for a change of focus, the goals I had were mainly own three (3) pieces of real estate before the end of the year, and make $10,000/month by the end of the year. I can still do both of them and was working towards them both, I’m acutally still going to do $10,000/month by the end of the year, with affiliate marketing, as I had thought, I’m getting up to the extremely quickly and well on my way to reaching it before November ends.

What I’m going to drop out was my goal to own three pieces of real estate property, instead of doing that, which it’s ultimate goal is just to generate more investments, more personal net worth. Instead, I’m just going to build a lot more net worth in a more faster paced net worth building activity, entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is harder than real estate, it takes alot more skills and it generally pays a whole lot more than real estate investors. Real estate investors do extremely well, but the entrepreneurs that have the skill to generate a systematic big buisness that works whether or not their working on it without them is the person who in my mind creates the wealth.

So instead of owning three properties in which I could make some change, I’d rather make a fortune doing what I’m most passionate about. So I’m dropping the real estate goals and going to build my company instead. In able to get what we really want, we need to focus, and to focus like the picture below, we need to be zoomed into the thing we want to focus on. And we can only focus on the thing we want, when we remove everything else, your eyes can not focus on two things at once, the mind isn’t much different. So I’m doing some cutting out in order to do what I need to do, heres the plan.

I’ve started to realize one of the most important traits of a good entrepreneur is the silly skill of focus, which every entrepreneur by nature [who seeks opportunity] can loose focus in a second, and that second can turn into forever until we realize what we had lost. When I returned to school as a sophmore, I decided to drop out and focus on building my company, I dropped all my classes, and made plans to move to San Fran this was in Feb, I was getting better at focus and it was the only thing I wanted to do was just focus, one time, on something that I really wanted to do. I failed, I picked up another project that has become increasingly profitable, our rental sites with Prolegic Enterprises.

My good business who I loved doing business with, this guy is one of the most motivated people I’ve ever worked, and always is active in building the business with, Marques, is sharp, and he came to me with the idea to build this database of rental sites. I liked the idea, but I lost my focus I ended up working on it now over 8 months, I originally planned to work on it one month and just get a small percentage, it turned into a long-time project and has just been hurting me ever since because I haven’t been able to do what my blog says I’m going to do.

So I came to my partners and I’m relieving my position in the company handing over all of the equity I built over 8 months to the guys, we have another programmer that is resuming my place, he is very good and works at Intel. Long-Story short I’m freeing myself from things that remove my focus, the business I will still probably help out Prolegic Enterprises, because once your in something for some long time just like when you leave a job you need to give leave of notice and phase out, it will be some time before I’m completely phased out because I programmed the site, and because of that there will always be questions for some time asking me how I programmed it, and I would still want to see the company to succeed and lead ideas. But it will not be my focus point. To get different results, we have to do different things.

With my property in Portland, I’m moving it over to a property management company, I just looked at the property management company signs for buildings in my general area, one place is asking $130/month, and 1/2 of the first months move in on a new tenant to manage the building. DEAL! So many people say just manage it yourself, its easy [yeah, its easy it doesn’t pay much], plus as someone who wants to have freedom we need to put in the systems in place to create income without being there, self-managers are self-employed people who don’t understand that my time managing my house for rent is not as worth as it for me to build a highly scalable internet company in silicon valley.

I’m going to also tell all of my other real estate investment partners I was working with that I’m not going to be doing the deal with them any more, and I hope they still do a deal, but I gota do, what I gota do, and I need to do it. What does that leave me with, total freedom, like this bird below soaring through the air doing what he feels like because there is no hold on him, he can go wherever he likes because he has nothing holding him down to pursue what he wants.

So Here Is What I’m Going To Do..

Ok my last months income was around $3,000, which about $1000 of that was about net income. That isn’t enough to live on, this month as of today 21st, I’m alraedy at $5,000 gross income because i’ve done over this month alone $3000 in affiliate marketing, which aproximately half of that is to live on. Affiliate Marketing has been going pretty well and I’m confident at this rate that it will generate enough money for me to sustain off of.

Is Affiliate Marketing another distraction, yes matter of fact it is, but in a way it is a sort of unavoidable distraction as of now. My main goal with affiliate marketing is to generate $20,000/month passively, I’m doing affiliate marketing to make a living, I’m building a giant C Corporation to make a fortune. The problem with a job is it gets in the way of getting rich.

Affiliate Marketing when I was working on it was growing by almost 200% a week, I have since just deactivated all of my campaigns which I promote via PPC marketing because I just generated a tracking program.

Anyways last week with affiliate marketing I was doing over $280/day for a whole week, I have since disabled all of my marketing and redoing them to re-route through my tracking202 service. Tracking202 was originally designed just for my own personal use, but because my friends and I (over 10 people) that work with me are doing affiliate marketing I have made it so individuals can use the program to, and its completely free tool. My goal is not to make a bunch of money with this tracking tool, that isn’t my focus, but for now its available to the public in BETA. It is currently on a shared hosting right now but I’m moving it to my high-end dedicated service I purchased and will be hosting it on their beginning this week. With a highly intensive tracking program that redirects peoples paid traffic to their affiliate landing pages, [as an internet entrepreneur it is very important to make sure your product is working 100% at all time, otherwise you loose your clients, so it must be on a dedicated hosting, good thing I bought one last month and it’ll be ready on Monday].

We are currently building an internet affiliate marketing mastermind group, as the below post, if your interested in Affiliate Marketing please contact me by posting a comment, or you may contact me directly via AIM at : Chinkeyez 09. For now we will be working with new people, although I had no idea there is alot of interest in it, and I can only show so many people, lately several people a week have wanted to see how affiliate marketing has worked and I’ve had a 1-2 hours ession with all of them and not only that I invite them into our group to associate with other affiliate markterers, provide free access to tools, training, mentorship or whatever to get into the buisness.

If your interested in affiliate marketing please contact as soon as possible, because in a month I probably won’t have the time to show anyone new how any of this stuff works, and the team all starting at $0/day, but [now some are at $20/day] already within a week, are growing together. Groups need to associate with like minded people going in the same direction, some groups are futher ahead, some are waiting to be developed. The high schoolers of tommorow will have their own entrepreneur groups, you are welcome to join ours as it is in our formation of over 10+ people who we work with and do the business.

Every week there is a boat going to become rich, and there is people aboard that boat. All the time there are boats going to the land of richness. I’m welcoming you aboard our boat to richness, you just need to help us paddle. and we’ll get their together.

So anyways, things are exciting this post is pretty long, I’ll end it here. I gota wake up and drive all day tommorow, I have my stereo system hooked up with my ipod that has audio books on all different personal development topics, and I’ll be in drivetime university for 8 hours tommorow on the way down to San Francisco, maybe with the top down. Till next time.

PS: to anyone who has left me a comment about learning affiliate marketing last time, I have got your comments, and I have emailed all of you guys, please just take the initative and grab me next time I log on to aim, lets use AIM, because the team uses AIM: Chinkeyez 09 is my screen name, we will be hosting another how to do affiliate marketing 101 via PPC marketing on AIM in our chatroom conference this tuesday. Join us, I’ll email everyone too if I don’t hear from you on tuesday, all week I will be looking for my place to live in San Fran so i’m shooting for tuesday night PST.

If I help 10 people make $10,000/month, you know I’ll know how to make $10,000/month. You get everything you want in life if you just help enough people get what they want - zig zigler. How can I help?

If you found a good idea here, pass it along to someone else. Who knows how far good ideas go. If a good idea touched you share it with another. Sometimes people try to do things for me in return, all I truly want is the abilitly if I can help someone, is them to help someone else. Because when I was in process of becoming a “mature” personally developed [what I consider] being, someone helped me along the way, share with me some ideas, really got me thinking, you know that booked help me out, pass the gift of learning to others. And learning is self-interest, if you share an idea with 10 people, they hear the idea once, but you hear it 10 times, it is more beneficial to share.

Lets make some money :P, I’ll cya in Frisco!

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.

• Kontera: ~$15
• BeaverRent: ~+-200?

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.

While I was down in San Francisco not doing much work, my affiliate income was hard at work.  I’m excited to say that I really truly believe I’m on track, of course!  What is needed this month is $1,000/month via affiliate income, which equates to $35/day.  On the 17th I pulled in $34 in affiliate commissions [gross], this is very good as it is half-way through the month and I’m right on the brim of averaging what is needed to pass the first deadline which puts me on track to reaching the big deadline, January 1st at $10,000/month passive residual income.

I just added 50k more keywords for my campaigns with Y! Search Marketing, MSN Adcenter, and Google Adwords to promote my affiliate page.  What is my affiliate page? I’m not going to show it on my blog because other people will just copy my hard work, but its out there.  Most affiliate marketers won’t show you most of their pages anyways, because they are easily copied and a lot of them are very secretive. 

On Track, Are You?

I’m in San Francisco right now, my future home, I haven’t been able to do work at all down here, but whenever I’m not at the computer, I’m reading my books, the 4-hour work week and PHP security [awesome].  I’m going to track down the 2nd week of income, I’m still short from my affiliate goal, the affiliate income this month needed is $1,000, which is $35/day, I’m at around $15/day right now so I’m half way there, and it is half way through the month.  On track it seems.

Income for second week of the month, towards $10,000/month

• CPAEmpire, $90 [a 80% increase from last week]
• Text-Link-Ads, ~$13
• Propser, ~$23
• Kontera, ~15
• Adsense, ~57.90
• Rental Income, 1625
• BeaverRent 200+-?

I have just officially got 100% pre-qualified to now purchase a home in Corvallis for business, so I’m now ready to purchase house #2, and my buddy is now back from  the military and we are getting rolling in 2 weeks on purchasing #3.  In order to generate $10,000 month I have a decided that at least $5,000/month will be needed to come from affiliate programs.  So I have set goals to reach $1,000/month.  [break down your goals into smaller goals].

My goal for the end of the month, September is $1,000 a month. In October, $2,500/month, and in November, $5,000/month.  In order to reach my first goal of $1,000 a month it breaks down into $35/day, I’m currently around $15/day, so I’m 50% the way there.  all I need to do is do what I did the first time, and double my income from affiliate programs.  This should be cake walk and if I’m unable to increase my income level to $35/day by the end of this month I’m not on track to making $10,000/month by the end of this year.  So this week I’m going to invest approximately 24-48 hours to generate an extra $15/day, that is about approximately how long it should take.

I think what I might do is run with this goal to reach $10,000/month by January 1st 2008, and own/co-own 3 building by January 1st 2008.  Immediately after completion, move down to Silicon Valley and build the web 2.0 company.  Earn $10,000/month enough to live on and then focus energy, build momentum building a high-scalable residual internet product in the heartland of the web 2.0 startups. [Take advantage of the resources available to you in your current environment, and then move on to the next place with some serious momentum], ie: establish my 3 pieces of property and income from Portland and not just move down to Silicon Valley, but move down to Silicon Valley with some serious business momentum to carry me through.

Tomorrow I’ll be in the car all day.

Here goes nothing, I’m am going to complete my goals for January 1st, 2008.  I’ve wrote them on here many times, and it is a great reminder to yourself to push yourself.  I’m pushing myself to make an exponential increase in my skill, in my income, in my mindset to make my goals.  To have more you have to become more. 

• On January 1st, 2008
• My businesses are making $10,000 a month
• BeaverRent is a world class company
• I have multiple streams of leveraged income
• I own/co-own three (3) buildings
• I have 100% integrity

“If you think you can, or think you can not, you are right” - Henry Ford.

I can, and I will, and here is why I know: From personal experiences and testimonials we know what is possible is possible for us.  People have done it before, some of my friends, and I’ve heard many stories, I can too. 

I’m on track for two buildings, today my friend and I are making an offer on a building in Corvallis, as a rental property.  A good deal came up and another partnership a 50/50 deal between my friend and I to own a building in Corvallis.  Our offered will probably get denied, but we will continue to offer on buildings.  This deal will help me pickup a 2nd piece of real estate.

I’m on track for three buildings, I have already setup another partnership between one of my best friends from middle school, and another friend, we are going to split a down payment 1/3 1/3 1/3, and my friend is coming back to the miliarty in about 1-2 weeks.  We have already got our downpayment seasoned now, we are going to do the loan through him and make offers on a building.  This building is on track and will be purchased in Portland. 

Both of theses buildings soon be done before my deadline: Both real estate deals should be complete, there is alot of time, 1/4th of the year remains, that is 4 months, that is over 120 days to accomplish my goal. 

The reason I’am able to move forward on this deals is because I have written my goals above my bed, I see them when I wake up and goto bed every day, they are constantly their.  The thoughts are in my head, “Wes, 3 buildings, $10,000/month.” “Wes, three buildings, generate $10,000 a month.” “Wes, I’m making $10,000 a month by Janaury 1st, 2008, and I own three buildings.”  “I’m on my way, 3 buildings, and $10,000/month.”

With your goals infront of you every day you are able to constantly remind yourself of what you need to do.  All day I’m thinking about, ok is this helping me towards what I need to do, and I have a focus and most everything I’m doing is to direct me towards what I want because I have clarified my thinking.

$10,000/month this is going to be the most difficult and challenging of all the goals.  My goal is just to gross $10,000/month.  Now you might say, well gross doesn’t mean anything and that net means the most.  Well tell me something, I don’t know many people who make $10,000/month net if they aren’t grossing $10,000/month.  You can’t tell me a company that does $1,000,000 a year gross isn’t moving.  Ok they are, and I realize it is not net, but all I’m shooting for is $10,000/month income.

Where I’am right now is currently around the $3,000/month income stream from businesses. That is $1,625 a month from Blue tail Properties, $500/month from Jingyee, Inc, $1,000/month from Prolegic Enterprises LLC, and BW Online Inc is on track to generating $500/month this month.

Where I’am going to do is generate $7,000/month in additional income within four month.  I will then be in the top 10% of the population, as less than 10% of the population earns $10,000/month.  To where from there, well it will be onto $20,000/month and join the top 8% of the population and just keep going and going and going.

How I’m going to do it well one of the great things about the law of attraction is setting your goals, I set my goals originally for $10,000/month in 2009. I moved it to 2008, we need to be able to write down goals even though we do not know how we are going to do them.  It is by writing down something far out there, that we then find a way to accomplish it.

$5,000/month income will be generated through affiliate marketing, one thing you need to know and is figure out is how you are going to decide it.  The only way I figured out I’m going to generate an extra gross $5,000/month is from marketing affiliate marketing.  Why? Affiliate marketing I like to call insta cash. It is quick money, and it is quick because there are companies that pay you money on a commission basis, you can join theses companies in a day or two, once your accepted you can immediately begin earning commissions off sales/leads/clicks.  You can have a commission program it, market it immediately and make money immediately.

Weekly reviews will be place on WesMahler.com to show my progress and how I’m doing. Feel free to kick me in the butt if you think I’m slacking, I more appreciate anyones’ help to push me harder and faster in the game of life.  I’m going to review starting the beginning of this month, each week how much income is earned, on the 7th day of the week Sunday.  I’m going to post it here, and then at the end of the month, tally it all up, reflect and learn from the past, see what can be improved.

In order to meet goals it is important to know where you are in your progress, how can you earn $10,000/month if you do not even know how much your making right now, how do you know, lets tally it up. Or I will.

So there is the challenge, I will make it happen, and those who read this blog will see it for yourself.  I’m going to push myself, I’AM GOING TO FIND A WAY. There is a way, I just have to find it, I need to deserve it, and I need to do some serious studying of wealth building in a short time, and immediate action towards my objectives.  Maybe after I complete my goal, you’ll take a look at yourself and maybe it’ll inspire you to push yourself into the top 10% of the population in a short period of time.  You can do it, there is a way, people have done it before, the question isn’t can you, the question is will you? 

I’ve set up a meeting with my CPA every two months now, it is always good to know the best methods of moving your moving around for tax purposes. 

Why?

It is always good to have insight on the year’s taxes with a certified account (someone with experience).  Cashflow is a fast word, and sometimes it is best to have someone else look at our situtation to give us a different insight.  Unfortunately, so many times, myself included think I have everything on lock down as far as finances, but they would look horrible when my accountant looks at it. 

This way, my accountant can get in my face and say, “Wes what th
