This is one of those stories where I’m up past midnight and feel like I just got to share. I dont know if you remember the first millionaire story on the blog but it got quite a bit of feedback from it. Tonight, I wanted to share another millionaire from Convert2Media’s short story. This one, I assure you is one for the books. When I sat down and started putting the pieces together to write this, I had to take a step back and have a moment of mad respect for this guy. I’ve got respect for all of our publishers but you really got to hear this one.
Current Revenue Earnings to Date from this publisher - $1,083,837.30
An incredible feat for any publisher but let me go on a bit here. This publisher is literally 6 months old. The next part might seem unbelievable as well. This publisher got started by buying a work from home google kit online. (Who says those things dont work!). This publisher also went thru quite an ordeal a few months back. I was messaged one day that he was heading to the hospital for surgery. I shot him a message and to my surprise he was laying in the hospital bed running his business from a laptop. I dont want to share the details of the surgery but it was quite an ordeal, especially for a young man of his age. Personally, it sort of scared the living shit out of me.
Anyway, I want to quickly share some tips and characteristics of him right quick. In the sake of confidentiality I apologize that I cannot comment too much.
First - What He DOESNT Do:
- He doesnt ever bitch, complain or place blame. (Unless tracking goes down ha!). If an offer is doing shitty, you dont see him bitching and moaning about it. While a lot of people prefer to bitch and complain, he’s the type of publisher that is going to work thru it and MAKE it work no matter what.
- He’s a productivity machine. Seriously, sometimes I feel bad because we hardly ever talk. Talking is overrated especially when you are in charge of your own business. Talk is cheap and time is money.
- Most Importantly - (Pay REALLY Close Attention Here) - Without saying too much, he doesnt bother working in shitty markets. For any of my publishers that know me, asking me for advise in some verticals often turns into me asking “WTF are you doing”? There is a reason Convert2media is heavily loaded in specific verticals with multiple offers. You dont see peddling shitty email and zip submits right? Keep that in mind. The BIG money is MASS MARKETABLE OFFERS. If you are the type that cant get it going in one of those verticals, I guess we need to have a long sit down and chat.
Second - What He Does DO:
- He’s a self learner. He doesnt sit around waiting on bits and pieces of information or think he might be missing out on something. That’s a huge production killer. The guy bought a make money online from Google Kit and he is now the master of his own bizopp product should he choose to go that route.
- He’s motivated - The talks I have had with this publisher tell me one thing. HE WONT QUIT. He thinks big and he works hard. Some publishers are content with a couple of thousand dollars a month, some are content at 50K a month. This my friends is the guy who wants EVERYTHING.
- Work Ethic is absolutely outstanding. Before and after a major surgery the publisher was running his business from a laptop in the hospital. Things like this can change your life, (I’ve got my own health problems) but when it’s just YOU and nobody else, the sacrifices you make are the things that will define and intensify your business.
- He understands the CPA Industry - This is important. While there are a ton of niche specific offers out there, let’s face it — The CPA Industry is incestuous with like 5-6 major verticals. There is money to be made all over, but big money comes faster in mass marketable niches. Remember that. C2M knows this, we practice it. I’ve stuck it out for years now as a publisher myself and now as a network owner in the same verticals year in and year out.
To all the publisher who work with us, we thank you all for your business. You are the reason for our tremendous growth over the last 16 months. It’s publishers like you that will hopefully be a part of our exponential growth going into 2010.
