    Default Willyboy's Life Story up to now and a big Thank You to NC

    Hello fellow Choppers,

    I thought I would take the time to explain briefly what I have learnt and what has changed for me since I arrived here at Niche Choppers. I would also like to thank each and every member that has made this place what it is today and thank those who keep building on this.

    When I first arrived at Niche Choppers I had learnt about the forum from Digital Point whilst reading pages in the clickbank section. I had used affiliate marketing once or twice on my blog but never focused on this type of marketing completely, in fact when I signed up for Niche Choppers I had still only made one sale in Clickbank.

    However things were about to change and for the better, since joining Niche Choppers I have learnt loads about affiliate marketing, types of marketing as well as the affiliate side of things and the publishing side of things which I think is important for anyone who is thinking about taking up Internet marketing full time.

    Now I don't want to make this sound like I signed up to NC and bam straight away sales were coming through the door, it wasn't like that at all. It has taken me a good 7-8 months to build my sales up to what they are starting to look like now and I am pretty proud of my success. However I do owe most of this success to the education and learning that I have gained from NC and although Norb has done a great job with attracting new members I have to thank Ash too for his hard work and dedication with the forum as well as many of the other top posters who have helped me out a lot as well as helping many others, I am glad to be part of the family and even more happy to be a staff member too.

    I now want to say a big thank you to Norb personally for the shout outs that he has posted about certain products such as the forex products he shouted about. Lets just say I was able to make a fair amount of money from getting in early.

    Anyways I shall rap this up now, although I feel I should add something educational or priceless for the beginners (thinks...thinks)

    Here you go, get in early! If you find a product thats just launched even if its in a market your not interested in just register a domain and give it a try anyways.

    Thanks again fellow Choppers

    Cheers Willy, I appreciate your 'Big Up'.

    Yup, it all takes time to achieve our goals, and just because we're in an industry with potential huge payouts does not mean we instantaneously earn millions of Dollars.

    People must understand the need for reading and research around what it is they are doing! When I first started, it was a complete fluke. I put $20 in AdWords, and I was promoting an xbox 360 fix thingy.. Guess my keyword.. 'Fix Xbox'.

    Somehow?! It worked. Made me 5 sales in 4 hours lol.

    I think I was here before you Willyhead? So I've seen you grow within the community, and It's good to watch people develop!

    With the latest influx of about 400 members in that past 50 days, in a years time that can potentially mean 400 more people who are earning a decent amount of money, and with several projects under their belt!

    Can't wait

    Cheers Will for your contributions too!

    Cheers, WB.

    FYI, I've enjoyed reading your posts/questions as well as I've gone back through a
    lot of the posts here.

    Props for giving thanks too. A lot of times, people will only raise their voice when
    something goes wrong or they have a problem, but it's revealing of your character
    to post a "thank you". Well done!

    P.S. "Revising Mandarin"? I used to wow my friends and family with my one-year Mandarin prowess
    (I'm in Arizona, remember)...that is, until Ni-hao, Kai-lin sucker-punched me...!

    I like you Willy and like helping you in your threads. Are you making good cash with CB now? If you make over £5k a year you'll need to register as self employed like Ash

    This month and last month has been good, however as you know product launches and timing does help which seems to be the cause of it as well as some promotion.

    I am hoping I can keep it up and average $1,000 or over each month.

    Yeah I was talking to my mums BF about that, I was considering setting up an offshore account, any thoughts?

    Thanks everyone =)

    without meaning to sound stupid why do you want an offshore account?

    only ways I know you can get tax breaks with offshore accounts is to have your businesses main address setup as being in one of the few countries you can get tax breaks ( in these countries there are companies you can talk to about sorting this out, its actually relativly easy) or you have to live in the country (have it as you main address).

    + I do not know if they are going to help you that much at the moment once you get to 30k a month different story maybe.

    but im no expert at all, infact ive not even looked into it really..

    So would like to hear waht others think, and if anyone can tell any other benifits to offshore accounts that would be great

    I thought perhaps I could get the cheques sent to the offshore account and then wire the money through to my normal account after they have been processed, just a thought.

    At the end of the day though until I am earning thousaaaands a month I will not worry about it. Still nice to know what I can do when the time comes, what options I have.

    Noooooo don't go offshore.

    You need to have a registered address in that country, and a registered business in that country.

    Tax brackets in most places (within the EU anyway) have similar tax brackets +/- 10%. (Apart from Monaco lol).

    Not worth the hassle unless your on a $1m net, then go Canadian (21% I think) not the UK's 40%!

    Fair enough well for now I should be fine, by the end of the year though I doubt I will still be under the tax bracket but perhaps I can make it go away :P

    Jersey, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Isle of Man (rates from 5% - 18% depends how your company is set up and how rich you are!)

    as for coutries lower than the UK there are loads at 20% and under most nice and hot (not in europe).

    Thanks Blackman. Yeah my blog is a little slow at the moment, don't worry I will be starting writing articles again soon, this week or next week. Things are a little busy at the moment though with my AM going on and my exams.

    Hey Willy,

    Always compare yourself to the year prior (income wise). It's good to keep track of the amount of money you push a month.

    It's really interesting how success works out. All I can say is within a year time, you can easily become a millionaire. Yes, just 365 days. I'm not blowing smoke. Record your income and start hustling, everything will begin to take a back seat.

    When I was in pre-Med, I was sh*t poor. I couldn't even afford any of my books, but still kept up a 4.0. I was paying for a loan, school, food, place to live, cell phone, girl friend, etc. I hated working for someone else, so I quit with all these bills. A year later, I built a business pulling in a few thousand a month, in just a year. A lot can happen my friend. I haven't just doubled or tripled my income (the next year following), I became a millionaire and invested most of my money in CD's/Bonds (I was 21).

    Success will come fast, grab it when you see it and ride that sh*t until it's dry.

    You'll be looking back a year from now, and figuring how you made it by with just a grand a month. Watch .

    Limit your time reading, you know enough, it's time to start working. Help yourself fill time and others part time. Rid your mind of ideas, and focus on one project at a time. Commit yourself today

    Cheers

    Edit* Let me just say one more thing, money is worthless when it's the only thing you've got. I normally say this to people in the adult world, because I've been there, that's how I created the quote above. PLEASE remember to take care of your mind, body and soul. It's most important.

    Excellent post Noxter, I definitely agree with what you say about money basically not being everything. I have been making more money than ever the past month but with problems with the GF I wasn't as happy as I could of been, now thats sorted I am more than happy.

    Some real words of wisdom right there. I also agree with what you say about committing yourself to one project, although I am not a real follower of this I do try and focus on only a couple of projects at a time that are similiar. For example I have just set up two forums in different markets and plan on promoting them in the up and coming months, getting them ranked e.t.c

    I also want to point out that reading is good, but you do get to a stage where you have enough information and you have educated yourself enough to actually act on what you have learnt. Make sure you act and don't just sit back reading more and more, you will run yourself the risk of having an information overload and wondering where the time has gone because you have used it reading instead of acting/doing.

    For the newer members of the forum, as soon as you have learnt a key element or strategy that has been proven to work and you are interested in it. Then put it to the test and make it happen, if you have a problem fire away a question right here!

    Exactly, very well put.
    The problem is that most people only realize that money isn't everything when they have it but nothing else.. and it's usually too late. I had to bring back one of my friends coz he was ready to jump off a cliff the other day... :-/ Have you ever wondered why are there sooo many suicides among riches? Not a coincidence.
