Age 23 (4 years ago): Replaced full-time cook job...

**27amDotCom** · 12-08-2007, 12:45 AM

I saw this new area of the forum and figured I'd chime in with a quick "story"... namely my own.

Feb 1st, 2003 was my last job working for a paycheck. I want to clarify... that was my last day working FOR a paycheck. Because in the past couple of summers, etc I have done some nightclub bartending and nightclub management but I didn't need to (I simply enjoy it).

That out of the way...

Going back a little before that, I dropped out of a Computer Science program at Simon Fraser University here in B.C. and moved to Kelowna. That was one of the smartest decisions I've ever made.

About 6 months after my move to Kelowna, I met a few entrepreneurial types and slowly but surely started reading the right material that got me into an "un-employable" mindset.

There was 1.5 pages worth of text in Cashflow Quadrant that I still view as a real turning point in my life.

From that point on, I first got started with network marketing. First venture, I did horribly (but that was my first ever introduction to business, marketing, etc). With the second network marketing venture, I replaced my job income in just 4 months.

About two years later, I had a lot of experience in network marketing and saw the flaws (which is why I wrote The Worst Things About Network Marketing Are the Network Marketers ... WorstThingsAboutNetworkMarketing DOT com ) so I shifted gears to an info publishing, direct response, software developement, and affiliate marketing model.

I've since used that for more and more frequent $1000+ net income days and a recent $10,000 week.

2008 is already mapped out to be very big and I'm sure I'll hit my first $100,000 month.

Though it took longer than my naive-self first expected (back 5 years ago), it's been WELL WORTH the journey and, the fact is, those who shell out $50,000 + in college education and study for 6-8 years for a Masters (let alone a PhD) would have invested more money and time yet achieved a lot less than the asset, the hands on experience and the freedom that I now have.

With appreciation,

Rob Toth

kudos to you, at the same age im still at university. Hard study like crazy, never realized about this world at all.

**appsrus** · 04-10-2008, 01:14 PM

Congrats bro! $100k will be a big month indeed!

I've just started on the same path, I'm earning $4k-$5k a month off my site, Apps-R-Us... it's giving me the time to learn new methods of earning as well

What would you suggest should be the next mode of earning I look into?

**tamar** · 04-11-2008, 04:51 AM

Sweet! Great story. Love the inspiration.

But even at 33 or 43 or 53, it's never too late to change up your life and pursue your dreams.

**BamaStangGuy** · 04-11-2008, 04:52 AM

That's a hefty chunk of change. Congrats on your success

**ceekeigh** · 04-11-2008, 09:23 AM

Congratulations, I salute all of you guys who truly earn with your sites. Hope to get there too.

What is this? 23 (4 years ago)? 23 was your age but now you are 27?

I think so. It means that success has been building for four years. That's great news.

If you're only doing well for one month or two, don't jump the gun. A true success story happens with years of effort.

**arpitagarwal82** · 04-11-2008, 04:07 PM

Very inspiring.
Personally I dont think age really matters on internet. You can start it early or at late age. What matters is attitude, hard work and your willingness to explorer and learn new things.

**Friesian Fever** · 04-11-2008, 04:41 PM

that sure is inspiring, tell me how can a newbie get into this kind of thing ??

**mandilove** · 04-13-2008, 01:10 AM

Wow that is an inspiration. You are very lucky. Yeah, I agree with the person a couple posts above. The age thing doesn't matter because I know some young kids banking in a very good set income. Good luck to you!

**jv17** · 04-21-2008, 10:28 AM

**Ako** · 04-26-2008, 12:41 PM

Nice for your friend,

However your technique do look like those balck hat techniques.

Thoses stpries worth nothing. School is sure important but when you already know what you have to know, it sure do become different. MArk zuckerbrg, is 1.5 billion rich at the age of 23.

**MikeRoweforpres** · 04-27-2008, 09:48 PM

These posts mean alot to me, I am just breaking into making money online with affiliate programs, I just completed my first website and I plan to read your articles and tweak my marketing campaigns to try to make some money. After that I will go to work immediatley on my next two site ventures, and so forth until I have enough income to be satisfied. Make no mistake, im 18 years old and I plan to be exactly where all you that succeeded with these programs are within this year. These posts are great to prove that as long as you give all the effort it requires you will succeed with these methods. Im just glad I found the world of affiliate marketing and web design, I never even knew you could get rich off this stuff, which happens to be one of my only real interests, until recently. Good hunting men

**vicdigi** · 04-30-2008, 07:49 AM

Well done buddy and you still have the time to be amongst us!

**Sonny86** · 05-01-2008, 02:19 AM

Inspiring story, thanks for that

**jesterx** · 05-01-2008, 06:30 AM

holy smoke...just goes to show that anyone out there with a will and a way and who takes constant action will win in the end.

TAKE ACTION...its the key to making lots of money online. It really is.

**LordCyb3R** · 07-28-2008, 11:14 AM

Pretty good story, $100.000 a month is big money, you have a more than million dollar website now!

**Rhiannon188** · 11-09-2008, 02:02 PM

Good story although I do not particulary agree with your statement about going to school being a big waste of time. Going to school is not just to get a good paying career, at least that is not the only reason I see for going. But I do know what you mean, it sure costs a TON to get a decent education!
