The stories of Webmasters earning six and seven-figure incomes continue to flood the Internet.
Everything always looks so polished and put together once success has arrived.
In fact, you may have even caught yourself thinking, “They make it look so easy!” or “Why can’t I do that?”
While these stories inspire, they often leave a trail of misconception behind.
They also cause some people to compare their own journey to the Webmasters they admire, which can be a very destructive mental pattern.
I didn’t create this video to discourage you, but to help you put things into perspective. No matter how great the money may seem, understand everyone has their story behind the success.
Here’s mine, along with some raw facts many people don’t want to acknowledge…
Lisa, You have been a great mentor to be pertaining to my online career.I have been following you up from the start and to this date , i must stay i am really inspired about your incentive journey towards your success. I really admires that and i am glad to say i am a fan.
Its really nice to go through your 6 figures income video, which can work as an inspiration for the new bloggers, who are willing hard to enjoy a good income stream from the web. its difficult to make 6 figures income through a blog, but you can do it by going up slowly and slowly with patient.
well I all trust the purpose created by Takeoffzone and also the points raised by Lisa within the video (great video i have to appreciate).
well, the ‘mantra’ of all success isn’t fast and simple. I too stumble upon variety of those sites that claim of turning amatuers into professional by time of day by providing their ‘Success manual’s .I too couldn’t discern the tricks contend by them however currently I notice however pretend these claims square measure.
Well i’m conjointly someone in early stages of the web site building method and perceive the importance of patience, however generally it demoralizes Pine Tree State on not obtaining enough response for my job.
Well Lisa ,I would conjointly prefer to apprehend from you the various stages that an internet site or a diary undergoes (phases, periods) before changing into victorious or somewhat recognized it its niche, one thing inspiring to stay Pine Tree State going.
Thanks for nice Information,
Regards
Ken
thank you for posting your story it willl motivate others….Making money online is fun. If you get to 6 figures it will be even more fun. From experience I can say that subscription websites make largest amounts of cash. Blogging is a more reliable income source over time.
I enjoyed this video. Your website is wonderful. Watching the video is like talking with your best friend. Keep up the good work!
Damn, Can’t watch the video. YouTube is banned in Pakistan 🙁
Great video. It is refreshing to hear that you weren’t an overnight success- bc it is so hard to believe that anyway!!! There is nothing quantifiable about the web, and you can easily gauge what you get back in equality with what you give at a certain point, in my opinion.
The video is awesome. Thanks for sharing with us Lisa 🙂
Its a motivation for new bloggers, I must say.
Great article Lisa, the video is uplifting as well.
Nothing worth having comes easy so I am glad I failed in the beginning because I have learned so much from many blogs, authors, marketing, and things I would have never known.
My family comes to me for most of their computer related issues. I did not see that coming.
well Lisa,
We know that you keep it 100% with us, when it comes to building from the ground floor up in Internet marketing. you did let us know from the very beginning that Internet marketing is not an overnight gig, and to succeed in it, you must be willing to go long-term with online marketing efforts, because no one on the Internet can make $1 million overnight. DrewryNewsNetwork admires how you keep it real with the web audience 🙂
I’m so glad I came to your site Lisa. It’s almost as though the universe led me here because I had to hear you say that it took you 6 years to be where you are now and that it wasn’t that easy.
Thank you so much

Thanks for sharing and inspiring us.
Thanks for sharing all the behind the scenes hard work that get you to where you are today. Thanks for sharing Lisa!
Hi Lisa, I’m not even sure how I found your site but I really like it and will be reading every page! I have been making $1000+ per month on squidoo and now I’m ready to start putting my efforts into creating my own niche sites so I have more control and don’t have to split affiliate commissions with anyone! I love learning and analyzing what works and what doesn’t to get traffic and convert that traffic into sales. Looking forward to learning from your site!
Awesome Kim!! Wow, $1000 bucks on Squidoo is pretty impressive. If you’ve been able to do that then I’m sure you’ll do fine with owning your own niche websites. Great job!
best of luck lisa it was very inspiring and it took u 6 years to become what u are now 🙂 it was mindblowing u did so much hardwork 🙂
Hey lisa that was an very inspiring video , and it is all your hardork which made u what are u today 🙂
Thank you Lisa for a very inspiring vedeo…..you are like a breath of FRESH AIR….thank you for caring.
Awesome Lisa , But you did a lotta hardwork for this too 🙂 great going… 🙂
Thanks for all the tips !
Wow, Lisa
You speak so well and come across wonderfully on your video. Your points are so on target. In other words, “Your goals are your own. Base them on you vs someone else!”
Thanks,
RJ
Thanks RJ!
Anytime someone comes at me with any sort of “Get rich quick” nonsense, that is my queue to stop listening.
The only “Get rich quick” solution I know of is wining the lottery, and if someone had the wining numbers beforehand, I already know they wouldn’t be sharing it with me…
Thanks for ever spreading the gospel, Lisa.
I hope I can be like you someday, if u can do that so “Why can’t I do that?” ^_^
Great video – the reason why most folks get online is to make money somehow and your trade secrets will come in handy for newcomers and experienced folks alike – thanks!
very great website i have read the posts about the way to make money that’s very very good and your video really inspires me.
nice video lisa, i love the way u narrate too.. keep the good post coming.
~alex
I do agree with your story. I have work so much on my website to earn 6 or 5 figures a month but making this money online takes time and hard work. Great video Lisa!
Perseverance, motivation, passion and a good skillset it key. I have been blogging for just one menial year; however, I have a tremendous thirst for learning. I was soaking up so much knowledge from here and other places I had no idea what I had learn… it had not had time to solidify in my brain. All of a sudden early October, it hit me like a ton of bricks. My focus was off… very much so. I love to write, but I was a failure at socializing. Off and online. It is just not my strong suit. However, I do know marketing, but I was not applying it to my own ventures. So much for that graduate degree and shame on me. 🙂 Nevertheless, in October I started to treat myself as my own client and developed an action plan in the 3rd party so it would not be so personal. It is what works for me. Things immediately began to change for me literally within days. I have successful businesses offline and now I am learning online. I admire people like you who are honest about the learning curve and trials & tribulations. JC Penney, Tyco, Mattel… none of those companies were built in a day and neither will ours. If you need money NOW, get a job anywhere, but don’t force the process when it comes to building a business. It takes time unless you have the financial resources to do a heavy-hitting integrated marketing communications plan. Cheers to you!
Wow, what a great message, Shonda. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Thank you, Lisa. You are inspirational.

My dream is to be a fulltime blogger, which I know is the same dream that many have. Not all will make it, but I will, sometime in the future, because I’m sticking to being passionate about it. It’s easy not to give up trying, when you’re passionate about something.
Nice dream but have different means of making online …
your blog is very inspiring. I am in the beginning to do the process. Thanks very much
I think this is my favorite video of all your videos. I’m really pleased that my tiny (compared to yours) blogging income of about $310 per month has actually had 3 or 4 people asking me for some advice on how to do the same. I can only imagine how many enquiries you get. That word “passionate” that you repeat so many times in this video is key, I agree. A year ago my blogging income was only about $56 per month, and would never have increased to what it is now, had I not been passionate about my topic and passionate about continuing to work at it, no matter how long it takes. I do other work from home as a freelancer, and I know that feeling you mention of being at your 9-5 desk with ideas flying through your head that you just can’t wait to get written and posted to your site. My dream is to be a fulltime blogger, which I know is the same dream that many have. Not all will make it, but I will, sometime in the future, because I’m sticking to being passionate about it. It’s easy not to give up trying, when you’re passionate about something.
Good job! I would like to point out – I’m no expert. As far as I know, there isn’t a “magic” answer, in this huge area how ever you manage to produce a real material for education purpose and websites improving.
best regards.
Hi Lisa at the moment Im making about 35 euro a week from my youtube videos, I joined the partnership programme about 3 months ago.
my passion is martial arts and one of the things I enjoy the most is helping people confronting fear of agression.
I am studying your videos and your comments and I hope to one day be able to continue my dream and also make a living. I am hoping to learn as much as possible from you and if you can give me some advice i really appreciate it.
I may have an advantage to the fact that I speak two languages but honestly speaking i started this road only because I thought i would attract some students around italy, now with adsense and youtube Im a bit shocked at the fact that I am starting to make money from it.
at the moment I have about 600 videos and also I use adwords quite a bit.
is there any advice you can help me with? thank you
Lisa,
I notice that your workspace (background in video) is neat and tidy.
Are you a super-organized person?
Does that contribute to your success?
— Kenn
Thank goodness you only see that portion!! lol I’m not a slob by any means but I’m far from calling myself an organized person. I actually wish I was more organized. 🙂
very inspiring story ,
whoah this blog is fantastic i love reading your articles. Keep up the great work! You know, lots of people are searching around for this info, you could help them greatly.
Great video thanks. Unfortunately the questions that you mentioned are inevitable. We always need to know what the prize will be for our efforts. For some it makes us more focused and driven.
Lisa
Believe me!!! My idea of starting an investment website came from your blog and website. I have learnt a lot from you and always learning. Many Thanks for your inspiring articles and information.
Wow, this was a great video, and you answered the question I’ve seen others ask as best as anyone possibly could. Strangely enough, I’ve never asked this question about how long it takes; just never occurred to me. And out of all the sites I have, I only have one that produces anything, and I figure that’s just how it goes.
I dont usually watch videos because lets face it most of them are such a waste of time. They all are annoying sales pitch. You seem like someone genuinely out to help. So fresh and you have an appeal to you that pulls in everyone…I saw that charisma in the video. Im so happy for you 🙂
Why are these links still no follows?
Great video, I have a ton of respect for you for keeping it real and not being dishonest like so many people out there online claiming to drive exotic cars and live on the beach. Thanks for being honest!
Very Inspiring.
I have my site from June 2009 till August 2010 i did not had traffic, i use to get 1/2 visitors per day.What i had in my website? only information about Kolkata City like museums, amusements, historical places, Shopping Malls etc basically it is made for Tourist.
From September 2010 i started promoting seriously by doing SEO works and now i am transforming it into a Directory cum Guide of Kolkata.
Because of SEO work done i started getting traffic and now i get minimum 100 visitor per day from Search Engine and expecting it to grow
I started learning IM about a year ago and joined a few forums and I’ve found the information you give is really informative real talk without all the hype. A lot of the top “gurus” try to make it sound easy so you buy their product but I like the fact that you tell us it wasn’t easy and it will take time. You inspire me, Thanks Lisa;0)
Hi lisa,
Thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us. Although I am a Web Designer, but I still learned so many things from this website, it is a great tool to catch up the web promoting knowledge. Just want to ask you about how to link Facebook comments on your own blog?
Many thanks
since i discovered your website and blog I ‘ve learned so much. your posts and your articles are informatives!!
Inspiring story.
Hi Lisa,
Thank you for sharing this. I’m not really much of a blogger as the dodgy internet marketers who all claim to be earning millions had put me off!! I use my blog to put ariticles on for my clients/subscribers, but I don’t promote it much at the moment and I don’t sell or promote any products.
But I am determined to utilise it more now that I’ve watched this video.
Thanks for the inspiration and showing passion about what you do.
Lisa,
For many, many years, I have felt compelled to encourage people and share some of the things I know that may be helpful to others. I love to write, and I’ve considered writing a book and/or teaching seminars. I’ve recently begun toying with the idea of creating a blog or website as a better way to accomplish these goals at this point in my journey. Hearing your story has been inspiring — sounds like we have some things in common! Thank you so much for your no-nonsense approach, and for your sincere and caring style!
