Fastest way to make 10 million dollars, Direct Mail or Internet Marketing?

What's up with all of these stupid threads? If you people would spend half the time executing as you did asking absurd questions, you might actually have a shooting chance in hell at becoming successful.

I see these questions, and simply laugh. It's like you guys sit down at night and break out your crayons and colored pencils and draft up these insane plans on how you're going to become richer than bill gates, then come here, a place where 90% of the people are broker than you are, and ask what they think about your plan...

You want to make 10 million dollars? Start by learning the ropes...the basics of whatever it is that you want to do. Do it until it makes you money. Take exactly what you did and do it again....and again...and again...One day you might wake up and see that since you've actually been doing something, you're already half way to your goal.

If you seriously have to ask on a public forum how to make 10 million dollars...you're 110% not ready to even handle that kind of responsibility. You need to start from the basics...

Try making $1,000 first

I am not understanding what you are trying to say.

Write compelling ransom letters to billionaires.


The best business model is a recurring billing model, where you charge the customer a monthly fee and make it HIGH enough, and make your service EVEN HIGHER value, that they continue paying the fee

OH now we completely understand. We didn't know that you where so overqualified..

You've made 10k? WOW, it must be nice to be as smart as you are..

Want a reality check? No? oh well...I'm going to give it to you any way.

CONSIDER YOURSELF A FAILURE - We're not the ones on a public marketing forum asking others how to make an absurd amount of money..

THEN the people that are actually patient enough to try to shake you back into reality, you call a failure.

You have so much to learn before you should even start CONSIDERING making money.

It's people like YOU that give people like ME a bad name in this industry. Shame on you.

Do everyone a favor. Just quit posting, you're taking up bandwidth.

Whaaattt???!!!

Young man. This isn't a pissing contest. We are trying to help. I'd still be willing to help. But we have to talk about real things, and answer real questions.

I was actually telling you that I felt empathy for you, at the beginning of your journey. You are mis-understanding everything said here.

But before you get a pat on the back, you need to learn a little.

I can't even feel insulted. I really wish you luck. Sorry if you felt offended.

I don't think anyone on here would call Claude a failure. He is likely one of the highest income earners on the offline forum. Yes there have been those to claim to make big money here but most of that had been fake hype BS IMHO.

I personally believe I can make $10,000,000 in fact I believe I can make $10,000,000/yr. But I don't believe I am likely to make that next year. Very few people are "overnight successes" and most of those really worked for years to get to the point where they could be an "overnight success".

As for Claude for all you or I know he is a multi-millionaire already. He has talked about some but not all his income before which you clearly are unaware of or you would understand why your replies to him are so silly sounding to people like me who pay attention and "do the math".

As for making $10,000,000 I would say the fastest way is in product marketing. Once you have a tested "hit" you produce an infomercial and hope it turns into a true winner.

Basically you have to locate and gain ownership or licensing of a product that will likely hit big.

This is hard to do for a small company as there are giants in the industry that can take early losses in order to build up a brand.

Most anyone can make $10,000,000 over a lifetime if they want to and commit to it completely. Hell with inflation even a young guy working at McD's right now will likely make over $1,000,000. On the other hand few people will have multiple 7 figure years and fewer still will have 8+ figure years.

The point many were making is the question itself is the wrong question.
"Money" isn't really the point or even the goal.
You don't want the money you want what you buy with it.
You don't build a business to make money you build it to serve customers. Making money is simply what happens when you build a well ran company that serves customers well.

Internet Marketing and Direct Mail are simply tools. You will likely use both and many others to gain $10,000,000. So there is no real answer to the original question. What will work best and what you should focus on will depend first on the products and services offered and second on how each media works. Whichever gives the best ROI will be where you will focus but all that provide positive ROI should be used.

A simple example is this. You come upon a change machine that give out 24 quarters every time you feed it a $5 bill. How many $5 bills will you put into it? The answer of course is as many as you have and can get till it runs out of quarters. And I suspect you would come back the next day and try it again after it was refilled with quarters. Advertising (direct mail and internet marketing are both forms) works the same way if you are doing it well. You feed in $500 and hope to get $600 (or more back).

What you consider a good ROI will be based on many factors. For some companies they might be ok with putting in $500 and only getting $100 back due to the lifetime value of the customer. While another company might stop using any method that doesn't have a ROI of at least 10x.

We have no idea where you are along the line of success. You may have a successful $1,000,000/yr business. You also could be making the same money I made at my first job when I was 19. You could be anywhere along that line or even above or below it.

I can tell you haven't figured out just how hard it is to cross the six-figure personal income mark in your own business. $10 mil is a GREAT GOAL. WORK TO IT.

But...until you yourself get to personally keep more than 100k a year, you shouldn't be running around calling people failures. This stuff is hard. It's personal and it requires a full transformation of you as an individual.

I know that Claude's feelings were not hurt at all because to get to a level of comfortable success requires you to become impervious to criticism.

It's obvious you are inexperienced because of the way you lashed out.

Lashing out pushes people away. Success is all about learning to pull people in. Marketing is about making people come to you with their money and give it to you. That is the attitude and skill that you need to create.
