Has Anyone Become Rich From The Internet?

**everyday313** · 09-12-2006 05:23 PM

Hello fellow entrepreneurs,

With all the different opportunities on the internet I was just wondering if anyone actually knows someone who has become rich from their online business?

...define "rich"

I've done fairly well over the past few years with my Ebay business....but I dont consider myself rich. I did get to put a 20% down on a house as soon as I graduated school. That probably doesnt mean much to most of you, but out here in southern California you can't find anything decent for under $600,000....so purchasing a home is a major step for me

Hi cgleason,

I think rich has a different definition depending on who you ask. I think that what you've done is fantastic. This is exactly what I'm talking about. You are someone who is making it online and it's inspirational to those of us pursuing this online journey. There is so much hype about people making tons of money on the internet that you don't know what to believe. Thanks for the response.

Agreed. Define Rich - I make a good part time income on the internet- but would not consider myself rich. My perspective is if you keep increasing your profit margin each month you are moving in the right direction.

rich IDK - but its an extra stream of incme - but u can be wealth if you study hard and track issues on what ever you want to do - its a lot of hard work no overnight rich quick schemes and I think all can agree

In your question you ask if we KNOW anyone that has become rich with their online business.

My answer to that question is an infatic YES, lol If you define rich as over one million per year, I would tell you I know at least 10 people that are "rich" as a result their online businesses.

I myself am NOT rich.... YET! I am well on my way though. One thing you must acknowledge about online business is that it takes time to build it up, just like any other business. VERY rarely will someone get rich instantly through the internet. But the great thing about the internet, is that the startup costs are next to nothing! ANYBODY can offord to start up an online business. Your success depends on you drive, determination, and skills.

Rich -- enjoying yourself and not having to do a damn thing for it.

....right now I have 2 separate ventures...and 3 jobs if you count my "real one"

The one that pays the bills is my eBay software resale business. I am also working on a car stereo company with a co-worker of mine. We manufacture Mp3 stereo systems for classic cars and hotrods. Here's a few links if you're interested...

http://www.thesellution.com (not done yet!...but getting there

)

If you guys have any feedback on my websites that would be appreciated. These were my first two websites so I'm sure the quality could have been better...but I think they're okay for the time being.

Which planet are you in? Haven't you heard Google, Yahoo, e-bay, Amazon, and etc...?

I think he was talking about someone you know personally, not just someone you have read about.

Ive done well

**MpyreDzirez** · 09-15-2006 07:32 AM

I have never lost any money and just recently have gotten to the point where my activities pay the bills consistently. It's working

I know a couple of people who have gotten genuinely wealthy from businesses where they sold goods primarily online.

Both of these people, however, had actually developed their own products. This wasn't some BS like dropshipping or adsense. They invented things and then sold them over the internet.
