Hello,

I am a business owner and I am often over worked and tired with less than 100k a year. (due to limited capital and state regs) I am truly blessed with the gift of knowing almost everything to know about a certain niche. (Child care & Curriculum) So I am going to put my knowledge to work! I am just starting to listen to your pod casts via iTunes and must admit they are pretty addicting. I love the information you provide. It isn’t clouded with a bunch of off topic information and gets to the point. You gave me more information on one pod casts than 5 that I purchased on iTunes. My gross goal is 250,000 with in the first year. I look forward to sharing my success on your pod cast one day. : ) But for now I was hoping you would share your secret to presenting information in such a way that attracts people to your pod casts?

Great story, and awesome blog. It just goes to show that there is a way to make a full time living from home… just not overnight (although your story seems pretty close). While I realize this success is rare, I also understand the most people who fail are the ones who are not passionate about their blog or business and treat it like a fad. Anyone can get excited about something at first, but if you do something you are passionate about, it shows through in your work and endeavors. The money becomes a benefit rather than the purpose… that is what true success is. Great job achieving this goal Pat and thanks for all your great content and help!

Pat. PAT! Yikes! your story is so encouraging. I possibly am facing layoff in June. It is a scary proposition but I hesitate to run out and get a new job. Right now I really want to LEARN this…clean up any mistakes…and really launch out to earn an income at this. Well, time will tell but I am certainly bracing myself to study hard and write, write, write.

Hi Pat,
Your story is truly inspirational. People think that making money online is easy, but we all know that you have to put a lot of effort in and nothing comes easy. Anyway your advice and inspirational story makes it all seem believeable. When starting out it is very easy to give up if something is not working, but a read of your blog and your encouragement should help many people to overcome this. Thanks for everything.

Another thing

I notice that most of your earnings came from selling your own product. A fellow internet marketer told me that product selling was the way to go but I kinda blew her off. Looks like I owe her an apology

I notice that all your other earnings were “relatively” low but I appreciate that you have diversified sources of income online.

Do you feel that selling products like e-books is better than focusing on things like adsense and affiliate programs?

Pat,

Thanks for sharing this info about your earnings and how you got started. I like your writing style and open way of communicating. I will definitely be checking back here regularly.

I wish you continued success my friend.

Hey Winston – it’s good to be skeptical, there’s a lot of false claims out there, and to be honest there’s really no way to really know if anyone is telling the truth online, unfortunately. Even with screenshots of earnings, those can be doctored on photoshop as well.

That said, I can tell you that although there are, like you said, lots of great authors who are not making much with eBooks, there are a lot of people who are making a killing too. Don’t sell the possibly of really making money with eBooks short. If you find the right market who is willing to pay for information, like I did with GreenExamAcademy.com, then you can do really well for yourself.

If you’d like to discuss this more with me, feel free to email me and we can discuss. This has changed my life, and it’s changing the lives of others too.

If you have any additional questions, let me know. Thanks, and all the best.
