Where do you see yourself five years from now in terms of online earnings?

My goal is to make at least 2000 a month on the internet five years from now. I know I'm far from that goal but I'm confident that I'll meet the goal as I have some good strategies to reach it. For example, I have started a blog project where the members earn with their blogs and share the earnings. That's my biggest project so far. There's another plan which is related to education. How about you? Do you have clear goals and thought out strategies to meet them?

It's good to be able to make long term plans, and I think you could reach that amount in less than five years. I make short term goals and I have just planned a 60 day strategy to reach my main goal by the end of the year. I have set myself another goal to reach by 2010. I don't know about five years on, as things can change quickly on the internet, but I do know I made a good start this year, and I am going to build up my income year on year.

Right now i don't have any kind of planning. Right now i am primarily concentrating on my studies. I have thought that at first i will get a job to gain experience. And then besides the job i will start my own business. The business will depend on the future situation. Here between education & job i am creating a big gap. If i start a business now then i will have more knowledge on future. But i have some limitations. That's why i have stopped for now. But my ultimate goal is to have a good life where i can live my life to fullest. Don't ask me how.lol Good bye for tonight.lol

You have great goals. It is so clear that online business or jobs are into your systems now. I do make long term goals too but in line with internet matters I am not sure. But it always accompany me whenever I am abroad. I know that as long as there is an internet connection I can follow up my online matters. But the thing you are saying like if what will I be seeing myself five years from now is very very dark. I really don't know. I just do mylot so that I could practice my writing. But most of the time I am busy. Anyway, I've heard that blogging is great. I wish you good luck. Take care and have a nice day!

I'm planning to be an online millionaire. Lol But instead of it, I've been scammed again and again. Lol So it may take longer, but I'm willing to wait for the right time. Maybe, I'll run my own website someday that will be more fair with their members. For now, I'll keep on dreaming like you. Lol

That's a great goal for yourself Curiousman. I'm sure you'll reach it. I have similar goals in mind as well. I hope to have my affiliate marketing campaigns earning enough to quit my full time job. I also have a few ebooks almost done that I look forward to marketing. One is a private labeling ebook that will allow users to insert their own information into it and re-market it as their own. I hope to do well with that one. Good luck to you in your ventures.

I am just starting to get into this online business stuff. I would love to make a decent amount of money online, and I think its possible, but I do feel it will take a lot of time. I dont mind though. All we have is time. I mean, I am a mother of 2 and I am starting my new job out of the home this week, but I am still planning on working on the computer at home for some extra cash. I am doing some marketing (promoting) and things like my lot but I'm not sure how much success this will bring. Do you have any ideas for me? I am open to all.

I started taking surveys over five years ago and its amazing because as of this year I was ready to do away with them but now I see myself qualifying for surveys and ones that I actually want. Im excited to try out the products and have run into two just recently that asked me to participate. Now Im taking every survey they send me and not waiting to get around to it like I've did ever since I've started (although i did take 2-3 a week). Unfortunately I could of been making more from focus groups but just found out after they send me an update form that my information was old (i'd moved twice since then!) and for awhile I couldnt get why I didnt qualify when they seemed perfect for me. Now Im excited for those because I live right next to the metro area. Last time I participated I made 175.00 and it was fun! I like that Mylot send my earnings to my paypal right away and frankly I think these little increments of money from here and there encourage me to save my pennies for much longer. Im looking into writing for cash but still listening out for the most reliable sites so I do not waste my time.

Curiousman, let me tell you one thing. I think you don't need 5 years to make $2,000 monthly. I have seen what you have done. If you keep the rate up, you will be able to achieve your goal in a sorter time, say about 3 years. Your idea is very innovative and out of the box. For example, the forum that you have mentioned that one can get 100% refback in one of the section there. Well since I bring it up here, I just got to ask you this question. If 100% refback is given to the downliners, what is it there for the upline aside from getting the payment earlier? The upline or as you called the sponsor won't get any money from its referrals but more work as he/she has to pay its referrals one by one when he/she get the money.

I think i will be among the internet Gurus by then! Making money like there is no tomorrow and making money off each and every silly idea! I don't see myself any where in terms of goals because i am just an explorer but i think i will be somewhere else good with what i have accumulated so far. All i need is get rid of my laziness and do the long processes now to be up there. I have had access to good stuff but i have never put them to practice so far But i reckon i will be making a good figure of $$$

Hi Curiousman Theres some friends have reach more than $2000 a month in 3 - 4 years. So I didn't surprised when you make that goal. No matter whatever you sell, but theres must genuine product/idea, good strategies, perfect system. I have some plan too in order to sell my natural health product. But now I still learning about some system and strategies which will work there, I guess. Lets reach our dream and good luck

Honestly that is so hard to say as I have been trying to make money online now for about 2 years and i am lucky if i make $50 a month, so in 5 years if I am making $150 a month then I guess that is a huge bonus for me

One to two thousand a month for me. Some months are better than others. Sometimes its hard to put life on hold to be tied to my computer. In five years we'll be possibly living on the road so they'll be much more online work getting done. As is, I work outside the home to help two neighbors so I don't get to spend as much time with my writing and photography as I'd like to.

Hi, there. I must say you plan sounds really great and you have the potential to achieve it. I have not set up any plan. Your post make me think that a plan is very important. With a plan you know what to do and how to do it exactly, that make your work more efficient. Thanks for your post, I think I should make my own plan right now just like you do.
