| What was it like to make my first million dollars? Posted: 15 Jul 2014 06:00 AM PDT
Long story short – I started fucking around with a website where you could upload ringtones and the site would convert them into any phone format. I didn’t know dick about making websites I just downloaded some books on html and then found a bunch of code online I copied or hacked away to make it worked. Then I lost my job cause all I really did at work was work on my website. 2 weeks later Google called me and said I can make money installing their adsense product. The next month I went to the bank and cashed an unemployment check for $350 and also a check from Google for $136,994.37. That was my last unemployment check. From there I really learned how to make money online studying the revenue models with donations, affiliate marketing, arbitrage, selling dropshipped products, and even subscriptions. The next year I did almost 3 million in gross revenue I forget the profit but it was a pretty high profit marin somewhere around 80%. Honestly I always felt like it was going to go away at any day so I never blew money on anything. The funny thing is I took a picture with that check cause I thought well when this goes to shit maybe I can sell a book about how I went from unemployment to making 130k/month. Little did I know that would be the last month Google would send out paper checks over 10k (they only do wires) so nobody else has a picture like that. My book is called Nothing’s Changed but my Change which is really super true. Yea I put away a lot of cash but I still remember what it was like to be flat ass broke and I never want to feel that again. Having money is not everything but not having it is. Been on both sides of that shit. The most rewarding part is I take 15% of my earnings every year and donate it to charity. I also take a percentage and try to help my friends back from my home that need help. One year I gave my mom 10k Thats really the best part, being able to really change people’s lives. Sorry that sounds sappy. I have friends with new ferrari’s and lambo’s and pickup 30k tabs and shit. Blow 10k on hookers and blow in a night. That wont be me… ever… Don’t get me wrong I have picked up a few 4 figure tabs on very rare occasions and ONE time blew 8k at a strip club in North Carolina. I wanted to shoot myself in the face for like a week. Anyway hope that answers your question. Trying to increase your Google rank that is like no other?       |
