How long does it take to make money on the internet?
by Laura Newton The Water Filter LadyWhen I started my business 4 years ago, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I had never built a website, and I didnt have a clue what seo, html, or key words even meant. I didnt know what blogging was, and I never heard of twitter, facebook or social networks. The only thing i knew was how to open my e-mail. (this is the absolute truth).
Then, I was introduced to Multi-Pure. I answered an add in the local newspaper for someone looking for helpers at our local state fair. I called the guy and we met that day at the local McDonalds. He started talking about this water filter company that I had never heard of. At the time I was broke, out of work and pennyless. We were about to lose our home and I was in desperate need of a job. He told me about his company and I was so impressed, that I immediately joined Multi-Pure.
I was so excited to have found this company and I went home and went online and learned everything I could about this company. I told my husband that I was going to sell water filters on the internet!!! My husband responded with "You will NEVER sell anything on the internet"! I, however know a good thing when I see it. I had such a good feeling about this company and the product, that I just knew I had found my niche.
So I went about learning how to market on the internet. I learned that I absolutely had to have a website, so I decided to build my own!! WHAT? Yup, i took that leap and decided to learn absolutely everything I could about building a website. Along the way I learned SEO and how to get your website on the first page of google. THIS was my goal!!! If I was going to succeed, I absolutely had to get my site on google.
I decided to go with Yahoo page builder. (not knowing any better) and not realizing there are web building programs out there that have templates already installed. Page builder starts you out with blank pages!!! Anyway, to make a long story short, I built my first website with pagebuilder. It took me over 6 months, but low and behold my website (purestdrinking water.com) ended up on the fist page of google.
I decided to start running some adds using ppc (pay per click). I read that it helps to run some addvertising to get sales, so I started using yahoo's pay per click service. Of course I couldnt afford much, and started out at $2. per day. Now, you have to realize, when your flat broke and can barely pay your bills $60 per month is ALOT of money. But I didnt care. I told my hubby, We've got to spend money to make money. Well.. the sales started rolling in!!! I'll be darned, I was actually selling water filters on the Internet!!!! Ye Ha!
Well, what happened next? I was named Multi-Pure's 2007 "Rookie of the year"! I made 60 sales that first year and was honored with my first award and trip from Multi-Pure for my efforts! (and a nice bonus check to boot). Ha! now my husband was eating alot of crow.
I am now into my 4th year and my sales and downline have quadroupled. I am now making over $20,000 per year and my income is doubling every year.
So...How long does it take to make money on the internet?? THAT is up to YOU! I can tell you this...You will not get rich over night. You MUST be motivated and devoted to Your business. Learn everything you can. listen to your mentors. (I didnt have anyone to teach me) I learned by researching and countless hours of reading about marketing on the internet. I am still learning every day, and I now try to teach my downline and others what I have learned.
My advice is, if you really, really want to make money on the internet You can do it!! Get motivated and stick with it!
This is my latest and biggest paycheck to date. And every month they get bigger! What can I say? The hard work does pay off! (This is a 2 week pay check). That is one of the great things about Multi-Pure. You get paid every 2 weeks!!

The Water Filter LadyLOL ...well, I'm being realistic. I gave myself 5 years to get this business to where my hubby and I can both retire from our j.o.b.'s. I of course do this full time now, but in one my year hubby will be able to join me at home and not have to work so hard. That is my next goal. ;) Dec 5th 2010 18:19 |

 Water The Source Of LifeYes even I have been trying for about 5 years, and nothing happened yet to building a an extra income that I was hoping for since I started with online business. I have created my first page with Google Page Creator, I have started with SFL Affiliates. This happened when a friend that I have met, when I was trying to promote the Mellaleuca.com Products, at one of their meetings. She was giving me hints where to post ads and I followed her emails. We have also chatted a couple of times on the phone, she always gave some word of encouragement when I was struggling with income then, too. @Laura Newton, Now seeing your web page I am encouraged even more about the Multi-Pure, it is one of interesting company, to join and sign in, but I have been chatting several times with Pat Connor, and she is waiting for me to complete the registration and she said she will show me how to go about it. I have seen your name within her site, I know that I can also ask you questions regarding joining Multi-Pure, to make it this time with some money coming in with direct buying. I thank you for very much for this blog. Dec 5th 2010 18:41 |

 Indiana Water FiltersLaura, you are not only an inspiration but an awesome person to work with! I see good things in our future! So glad to be on your team. There is no set time for earning a real income, but, I believe you get what you give, If you give nothing, you get nothing. Simple as that. Dec 5th 2010 18:42 |

The Water Filter LadyThank you Kat. To truly succeed in any online business, we have to help our downline. It is imperative to stay in contact with them, train them, and teach them our secrets. Only when they succeed, will you succeed. I Love the statement by Jim Rohn, that says "A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better".

The Water Filter LadyThanks for all the great comments. @ Abraham ..It really is about sticking it out and having that determination and motivation. I was "motivated" because I needed the money. I HAD to make it work. You have to really devote your time into one thing and dont give up. If you have a product or company you believe in, you will succeed! Dec 6th 2010 04:52 |
I didn't even read the blog. I'm busy right now. I don't have to read it, Laura is an awesome teacher, she only teaches what she does in her business, no hype, just the truth, plain and simple.
I topped the blog the second I came here. Also tweeted, shared on FB, bookmarked.
Laura is fast becoming one of my best friends here. She's good at what she does, she's dedicated to make her downline successful. She has a wonderful sense of humor. She's pretty, too. :)
