I’ve been doing internet marketing for 3 years now.  The degree of seriousness to which I pursued it waxed and waned at various points in time, but I was always actively pursuing it at some level.  I’ve put up sites, gotten frustrated when they didn’t make money, took them down, and then repeated the cycle.  The truth of it is, I’m lazy and I have a short attention span.  I get bored way too easily to invest hundreds of hours into creating an authority site, and I get discouraged if I don’t start seeing results quickly.  After my third abandoned site in as many months, a friend of mine who had just finished building his second authority site said to me “Chris, maybe it’s time you reconsider whether or not this business is for you.”

At that point, I was having serious doubts.  On the same friend’s recommendation, I checked out Warrior Forum, the biggest internet marketing forum on the web.  I looked into the Warrior Special Offers section.  I’ll be honest, at this point I was looking for someone to hand me a neatly packaged solution to my problems.  I’m sure by the title of this site and post you can guess what I found.  George Brown’s Google Sniper was the first WSO that caught my eye, and after reading his sales letter, I decided I had to see if this kid was offering anything new.

To say I was blown away would be quite the understatement.  I’ve devoured every piece of Internet Marketing literature I could get my hands on since starting this business, and nothing has kicked my butt into gear faster than this Google Sniper stuff.  I read the book in 2 hours at work, went home, registered a domain name, and had my first Sniper site up by the end of the week.  Within a week I was top 5 on Google for my 2 main keywords, and at the 10-day mark I made my first sale.  I didn’t spend nearly as much time on keyword research for that site as I should have, so it’s only been averaging me about $200 / month.

My second site, however…  I spent about an hour on keyword research and another hour on competition analysis, and it’s been pulling $1000 / month in steadily.  It took me about 10 hours to get the site finished, all things said and done.  Since then, I’ve put up 5 more sites, each earning a minimum of $300 each month.  Go ahead and do the math on that, I’ll wait.  Suffice it to say, I’m no longer working a day job.  So that brings us back to where we started.  I’m off to do some Sniping.  Later!
