$1000 Milestone

Well today I was totaling up my numbers and found I broke $1000 as of yesterday for this year!  After all expenses – hosting, chameleon, new domain registrations, I’m up $800. So there is money to be made in porn after all.

Each month it feels like I’m just barely scraping by, and yet I hit this number.  Little by little it adds up I guess.

I really hope this helps motivate some of you who are still struggling.  I mean seriously, I’m not doing anything particularly special.  Just submitting galleries and making blogs.  If you’ve seen my galleries and blogs, I’m sure you weren’t too impressed either.  Sure, some of them are pretty, but all I did was use those internet marketing templates you can find all over google.

Sometimes I wonder if it’s just the positive mental attitude I carry with me.  Can it be true that’s all it really takes?  Is that the difference?  Or is it that I don’t really care if this makes money or not, but do it because I just enjoy it.  Does that somehow translate into making better converting galleries and blogs?

I’m really racking my brains here because I see in the forums all the time about newbies busting their asses off and not getting results. I’m working hard, but not all the time.  I take plenty of breaks.  Sometimes days at a time – either by choice or because I’m just too tired after my day job.  I haven’t submitted anything the last two days.  Hopefully tonight I’ll pump one out after this post.

So today I present to you this thought.  Don’t buy into all the chatter about how you have to bust your ass off and how this business is so hard to get into now.  If you look for reasons to fail, you’ll find them:  “It’s too saturated, everything is free, and it’s not how it used to be. ” My favorite one is “You need a gazillion hits a day to make any sales.” or something like that.

Yes, it’s all true.  But I remember something else I heard years ago. – “The opposite of a truth is another truth.“  So I say: “It’s not too saturarted, nothing is for free, and it’s better than it used to be.“  Oh, and: “You don’t need that much traffic to make a sale.”

Look here:

Sometimes just wishing it to happen works!

Fling is running a special this month – $100 fridays.  Guess what I’m wishing for right now?

  3. Thanks, I really getting some great ratios with fling. Awesome you got a couple of sales on totem – FINALLY!

    I get really motivated too when I get a sale on something I had given up on. Like today I got a sale with nastydollar’s daredorm. I submitted that free site back in january!

    I’m thinking about revisiting building free sites. They continue to drive traffic even though I haven’t done a free site in a long time. I still get approvals on the free site submits I did ages ago, like today I got about 8 approvals. They take forever to approve, but they stick and drive traffic. I wonder what would have happened if I had continued to build free sites everyday? Definitely worth trying again.
