Bankruptcy to Millionaire

*Note: There are ZERO affiliate links in this article*

I hope everyone had a fantastic Turkey Day (In the U.S. at least… everyone where else I hope you had a wonderful run-of-the-mill Thursday ).

Ok, so I’ve made a bold commitment:

“I will go from DEEP in debt and negative in my bank account to becoming a millionaire in 48 months. And I will blog on my entire journey to prove it.”

So I’m just over a month in… and I still have a TON of work to do. There is still a lot of work to be done on my integrity and my personal fortitude. There are still many things I would like to change within myself. But as I’m doing those things I have to be looking at how I am going to start turning a massive profit.

The first secret I know to become a millionaire is I CAN NOT trade my TIME for MONEY. I’m working a job, and I’m doing magic part time. That accounts for about $1900 in monthly income (even if I had no monthly expenses I would become a millionaire in about 526 months).

Needless to say I’m not going to become a millionaire in just 4 years with this approach. I must find a way in which to begin find out how to do work one time, and get paid for it over and over.

So what’s the best way? I spent a lot of my Turkey Day (and many other days) looking at various ways that people are making money. I found a few interesting things that I’ll share in a second… But first, let me be clear:

I am not some sort of delusional freak looking for the “Magic Pill” that is going to make me RICH overnight. I know there is only one (reliable) way to true, personal wealth. HARD WORK.

This is what I’ve come across in the last couple of days that *could* make me a million dollars in the next 47 months:

• Copywriting
  • There are a ton of opportunities out there to make good money, especially if I can write a piece that converts. My dad *whom is supporting me greatly in the journey, even by sponsoring this blog!* told me of a few interesting ways to get into mail order houses, that will test your list, and pay you on the amount of letter they actually mail. If you write a letter that converts, you could make TONS of money residually for a long time.

• Mail Order
  • This is related to the copywriting field but a little bit more extensive, and requires a bit more capital. But the profit potential is HUGE. I’m just finishing reading through Vincent James’ The 12 Month Millionaire for the 2nd time. This man made TONS of money in the Fake-Medicine market (XYZ enhancement pills).

    I DON’T want to sell the shysty pills he sold. But the information he provides in his book is PHENOMENAL. I do have a few ideas that I think may be a GREAT may order idea. And will tie in perfectly with an online promotion I have planned.

    I have every intention of doing a mail order campaign as soon as possible because I believe this is where becoming a millionaire is MOST LIKELY. Although this probably won’t be launched for another two or three years.

• Affiliate Marketing
  • Promotion of other peoples products for a profit share. I have one of these planned to execute in the next two weeks in the Dog Care Market. I do not plan on making millions here. But it could be a nice profit nest egg generator for my future endeavors.
  • PPA/CPA networks. This is the one I’m the newest to. I’ve just began investigating these opportunies through some guys that are putting up some pretty penomenal numbers. (Shoemoney, UberAffiliate, Zac Johnson, and others) Some of these guys are putting up absurd numbers in the PPA networks, and I’m officially fascinated. But again, it appears you’ll need some start up cash to test what works. And from what I can tell you must DEVOTE tons of time to make sure everything is optimized.

So for those of you that were curious on how I was planning on becoming a millionaire in only 4 years. It will probably be in 1 if not all three of these markets. Have a great weekend everyone!
