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.

Great post. A number of overlaps with the previous c2m millionaire you published.
If some aspiring affiliates can watch, listen, learn and do (the 4th step is the most important), they’ll be pretty damn successful too.
October 22nd, 2009 @9:55 pm
Yes there are overlaps. Seems to be a pattern there:)…
October 22nd, 2009 @10:39 pm
Andrew, I disagree. I believe #3 is absolutely the most important.

I wanna be the next C2M millionaire.

It’s all good and fine, but the bottom line is; you have to have money to make money. If you don’t have $50,000 to throw around in the CPA market, there is no way you can make money. I dare anyone to prove me wrong, since you are all the big secret underground people.

Dammit Ruck, If it’s the last thing I do Before I pass .. I will also be one to have the C2M millionaire Status under my belt one way ore another
I’ll be the First to admit that I don’t have all the 4 does do elements in place.
As said already there is a pattern here to all the successful people that are coming out on top here.
Note to self… get head out of ass and smell the Roses

It’s incredible what you can do in this industry. Simply amazing.

@ jeremiah - I think you meant to say “cashflow” instead of “meaning” capital. I started online with a $500 limit Credit One CC because my credit was crap. I moved into Paypal along with their debit card and I opened multiple bank accounts with their debit cards all the way up to getting major credit cards.
I was down over 100K in debt when I came online so the idea of having to have 50K to make money is absurd. Clearly one of the most ill-thought comments I ever read. I dont mean to bash, but you sound immature especially at the end where you say “big secret underground people”. You sound like you just read an ebook that didnt have the golden ticket of information in it that you thought it would.

Good post Ruck, inspiring.
…I know i am not the typical hard working man, though I am ambitous and like to think big. I struggled keeping my work ethic up for a long time with ups and downs all the freaking time, it was tiresome. If i would put my rythm into a graph it would look like a heart rate meter.
The breakthrough for me was thinking about change in terms of changing a habbit. I’m guessing that it’s because when you think of change of it in terms of changing habbit you and your unconsious understand that it’s a long term solution and you start acting accordingly.

So there is a golden ticket of information that you are not willing to discuss? No Ruck. It was no ebook that I read. I lost about $6000.00 dabbling in CPA. You know and I know that a positive cash flow comes from successful campaigns, but now a days you need a hefty amount of advertising capital to throw around to make that happen. When you started online it was probably a lot easier. If your network wants to help out those that are doing something wrong then come out and say what it is, specially when it has to do with spending advertising dollars.

Generating 1,000,000 mill in revenue doesn’t make you a millionaire. We don’t know what his ROI is or what his expenses/taxes are.
Not to knock his success that is still amazing and congrats for making it work.

Another awesome motivational post. Both of those millionaire posts are bookmarked and will be read often. It’s amazing what can come from this industry. How things can change for a person seemingly overnight. There truly is no limit in this industry, you can make as much or as little as you want, it’s all a matter of how bad you want it. These two publishers are living proof of that.

You don’t need 50K to make money with CPA, you need a set of balls and a network like CPM with the right offers.
Although I haven’t made much yet, I know I’m gonna make tons of money. And I have about $50 bucks to invest right now.
Its all about constantly learning and evolving your methods.
As long as you don’t believe in “failure” and your simply learning what doesn’t work, you will always find what works.
Can’t wait to be the next c2m millionaire.

Current Revenue Earnings to Date from this publisher - $1,083,837.30 - unbelievable! But to make it complete, would like to know how much he invested to earn that amount.
November 9th, 2009 @12:36 pm
This is an amazing post Ruck :), very inspiring.
November 11th, 2009 @5:30 pm
This has me wanting to pick up the pace. Man it is possible and I’ll be there soon. I just have to really get into some better verticals and find some decent display advertising that doesn’t blow.
