How long did it take you to hit the $1K a month mark?

I don't remember how long it took, but I know that time I wasted wondering how long it took other people didn't help I do wish you the best of luck though

It took me around 1 year to hit the 1K per month, but after that graph never fall below the mark...It was only from my 3 websites, now I have more sites and more income

About a year, but I was trying many different things, which is common for newbies.

It took me about a year before I consistently made at least a thousand from month to month. I had a handful of thousand dollar months before that, but they weren't consistent. It probably would have been faster, but I went back to school and got my Bachelor's in IT Programming so I'd have something to fall back on if this whole IM thing doesn't work out.

Took me about 2 years to earn my first penny and a few months after that to earn 1K a month.

Honestly, I don't remember - I think all of a sudden when I found what worked for me - I went from a few hundred a MONTH to a few hundred a DAY. In fact, I remember - I hit $300 one day, then $500 MORE the next day after. From there, it was just uphill

Honestly, it can take time - it can also be really easy, just don't look for a "push button solution", plan on doing niche research, keyword research and actually doing some work.

Way to many variables at play, all depends on previous knowledge and current skill-set plus your capital resources. Someone who has $5,000 to pump into this and is already a PPC expert for a web agency might just be able to start generating profits from day one.

However, someone coming from an unrelated background is going to have a much tougher time. Your odds of success depend on you, I wouldn't focus on what others have done because you are simply not them.

How long it took for me?-
-I guess it was 1 and a half year.

With how many websites?-
-I believe it was 3 websites with many subdomains and 1 autoresponder.

When did I start multiplying my earning?
-As soon as I started outsourcing the donkey jobs and kept myself busy managing my team. I pay a lot of money to my outsourcers but I make much more profit in return.

Finding the right way to outsource is the key to success with multiplication by outsourcing.

Best-

Took me 3 months.

Not too long. It took me about 2 months and some but then I'd already had some offline experience so I knew which path I had to choose.

It is quite comforting to know that there is a chance I can get to make that money. I am just a newbie, but I will come back a year later to tell you guys how things worked out.

It took three days. The year was 2003. I slapped Google Adsense on a website of mine and was stunned to make $5,000 the first month! I quit my job shortly after.

When I was in it, I'd like it say it took me a couple of months to hit $1k a month. That was because I already had a pretty loyal following online and I was selling a product that was in high demand that was paid a high commission rate. Alongside that, I was also selling my own products as well.

In the second year. Started 2006 and hit $1K/month in 2007.

Approximately 6 months; however, 2 of those months were wasted on Adsense sites that amounted to nothing. As soon as I changed my focus I haven't looked back.

Well said!

it only took me 2 months to pass the 3k mark, Gurus always give you some funky ideas.

i learned everything i knew from this forum, i just took methods and tweaked them with my own techniques.

It's funny when people say "a $7 ebook that changes your life? HA" but really these $7 ebooks on here did change my life. It's not the ebook that fails its YOU.

Take action is my only words of advice.

It took me about 3 months and I had
30 websites. 1 made around $700 the
others made little or nothing.

Then I discovered keyword research

Went about a year or so making between $400-600 per month. Spent a lot of time chasing after "I made $15,756.93 in 3 days" headlines and ignoring the reason I got into marketing online (a physical product).

When I went back to that product after neglecting it for the better part of a year I bypassed the $1,000 mark in the first month with a $5k haul.

I am 1 year in with my single authority website, I don't make any money yet. I'm hoping I will be able to claim 1k a month by my 3rd year.

It took about 3 months for me to make 1k in a month. Now it is pretty steady at 1k. I had a couple of 2k months also. When I make it to 2k weekly, that would be awesome. I just keep working at it.

Took me 3 months. I was working at a job at the time, and used most of that money to fund my advertising campaigns. Within 2 weeks i had made my first sale, then 3 months later i had sales coming in everyday.

I think @Randall Magwood is a very lucky person to achieve that $1000 mark within 3 months. A few people have reached that mark within that much short time I believe.

I find it unreal to make that much money out of IM, per day. I had a go but was no where near that mark. Making that out of freelancing though.

2 Months.

But the product was in development for a while.... In construction for 2 months. And from the LAUNCH, it was 2 months.

When you sell a great product, a great way, people know.

Selling snake oil is easily detectable.

6 months if you count building a website for my offline local business.

For my online IM biz, it took about 20 to 24 months. After that I shot to $5K per month pretty fast and never looked back. I was working long hours for my offline biz at the time so I had limited time for IM. In 2011 I sold my offline biz to do IM full time.

I made a paper airplane out of paper.

I made over $1,000 in my first month of actual Internet Marketing. I used to run a fairly popular blog quite a few years ago which I was not monetizing in any way (it was a free blog, I had no intention to make money off it).

One day, by popular demand, I decided to write an ebook about my topic of expertise which I advertised on the sidebar of the blog. The moment I wrote that ebook I made over $1,000/month right away. The rest was history from there (I realized the potential of Internet Marketing, so I expanded from there).

2 Years. I was really excited when I got that $$$$

my first 1k was the hardest.

But you really have to focus on what you want. AS my lists built up, so did my income...funny how that works. I rememeber coming here years ago and listenign to all these gurus whine on about build your god damn list, stupid newbie,....and whining about why you are not building your list.

Well funny thing is there..... as soon as I did start building lists, it not only changed my business but my financial status. Funny how that works right? So when is the best time to build your list.? Simple.......yesterday.

Most people in here who say you do not need to build a list, do not know how to do it, and have not experienced the kind of success that having a big ass list can bring you litreaelly with the push of a "send email now" button.

Who cares what people make! Just take action and it will happen. All I am going to say is I quit my 9-5 job thanks to many people on this forum

With regards to earning money online, in 2013, I have not hit the $1,000 per month mark yet. I hope that I do eventually! I am going to keep on trying!

some time ago now. going fo rhigher margins now.

It took me a couple of months to earn my first $1,000 online. After that, making money online became easier and easier.

1 week.

But of course I wasn't doing online marketing. I was walking into businesses and demanding their money (in return for postcard marketing).

Since then I have come a long way. And it would take too long to explain what I do. But if you can't make $1,000 in 1 week, its my belief that you're not trying hard enough. Either that, or you are limiting yourself to things you have no experience in. I would have never tried to get my start in online marketing knowing that I had no real skills or ability to monetize my nonexistent skills.

So in real life, you are forced to do a thing I like to call "adapt".

If your current skills aren't paying you. Then they are not real skills. It is never about working hard, it is about working smart. If your skills aren't getting significantly better on a daily basis, then you are froze, and you will continue to not make any money.

TBO, I'm not even sure why I have to explain things like this. Making money involves a lot more common sense than most people realize (or are willing to realize because they want to sit on their asses all day doing nothing while getting rich).

One final thing. The only thing that has ever "motivated" me is results. If you can't immediately produce results in some way, you will never really be motivated. The reason I started in offline, is I knew I could make money quick, and that would then motivate me to develop skills online. Pick your battles wisely. Don't stick with something that doesn't make you money for too long, otherwise you are just stuck. You can come back to it whenever you want, but its really important to produce results somehow or you will never fully plow through the obstacles you need.

Right now i pull in $1.5 in pure profit from Neobux aswell as $2~ from PPD ._. (per day)
I will definetly start building my own list in a very short while

The time it took me to hit my first $!k per month was just under 7 months, from then on i have excelled in hitting the $1k plus mark by a mile.

The methods i use to make $1k per month is building websites keeping them for 6 months and then flipping them, at this moment in time i'm current making adsense sites, but moving on to amazon sites shortly. these i'm testing using a variety of methods.

A little over two years, with two websites. I have a real job that pays the bills pretty well and so IM was just a sideline for a long time. (Still is to a certain degree.) So I wasn't in any rush.

Some people, through luck or talent, find success in IM very quickly. Your niche is going to make a difference as well. But there are definitely things that people can do across niches that are more or less proven revenue increasers. Shameless plug: I'm going to be coming out with a WSO in the not too distant future that is precisely aimed at people who have already made their first buck online, but haven't hit the $1K/month mark yet. (See my sig if you're interested.)

It took me around 2 months with one website(my second) and a head full of ideas and techniques (95% of them useless) and then about 6 more months to break 1k in a day. But that doesn't happen to often...

Then again you can say it took me 6 years considering I tried internet marketing back in 2005 and got burned pretty bad, returned in 2011 and never looked back

We broke the $1K/month mark in our fourth month. (And then broke $4K the next month, heh)

There are a few things that should be mentioned, though:

- We had a "real" business behind it
- We were down around $10K before we started to turn it around
- I spent lots of personal time getting things up and running

It wasn't even close to automated or automatic...
