What Have You Gained Or Lost From The Internet So Far ?

haha

I have gained enough

I have lost my real life to the Internet

I kind of live in a fantasy world now

 

feels kool though

Can someone get a new poll for this 1 for me please

Have you gained or lost from using the internet ?

Gained

Lost

I spend a lot of time online
sometimes when i meet the same people too often , I write them "Go get a life"
they anwser "same to you".

no doubt,

there is a lot to learn online, but the most beautiful part is the ability to earn genuine income online with very litle capitall.

just imagine, adsense making money for people using blog, it is awesome,

though, when i started, i started with hyip and i lost N10,000 which i invested into it.

Now, i think i know better, internet is trruly a goldmine, if you are online and cannot earn genuine income from it, then you are still in the dark.
brace up brothers.

I hope my story will inspire who ever reads it

After I left school in 2003,  I caught the bug of how to make money from the Internet from Success Digest Magazine which I stumbled upon  through a friend ( most successful Internet marketers in Nigeria attribute their calling to Sunny Ojeagbase' s SD mag. May God bless that man), during that same period, I was going through a lot of stress in my life, it reached a stage that my family then did not even believe in me,( thats a long story)
 
Anyway in 2003 I caught the bug of how to make money on the Internet and I attended quite a number  of  high cost seminars and bought a lot of materials.  Anything and everything that had to do with making money on the Internet, I wanted to have.Most of those  seminars were quite expensive for me back then the costs were in the range of  b/w N15,000-N25,000. I think I attend about 10 of them within a year. Things were really rough for me.
 
I was always shuttling between benin city (where I reside) and lagos to attend seminars on a monthly basis. I was on my own with no one to believe in me except my lovely fiancee who is still with me and who stood by me through hell. (some girls good sha ). I also believed I could make it through this Internet business thing,  I mean was really fascinated  about the idea of making money on the Internet  and thats what kept me going.

I had to do a lot of sad and odd jobs which I cannot mention here to get the money to attend those seminars.

So in 2003, I learnt about internet marketing and ,webdesign , I then registered my company Illuminati Ventures
with the CAC that same year and went primarily into web design, the  first year year was horrific  but at the end of that year I nailed my first N100,000 web design contract since then there has been no looking back.

 Right now I have done about 15 different websites for some high profile clients, including the edo state house of assembly.

I am the MD/CEO of my company and I have never worked under anyone, ( I have never wanted to in the first place work under anyone). I go to my office whenever I like, but in most cases,  I am at home in my boxers with my laptop connected to the Internet making money from the Internet and answering to my clients mails and phone calls. I can be anywhere with my laptop connected to MTN's internet service and Cell phone, making money. Meenn, thats the kind of freedom I've always wanted, and thats why I chose Internet marketing in the first place regardless of the stress.

I make money from affiliate programs, Google adsense , webhosting, Credit card services, webdesign  etc. I do all this on my own through 4 of my websites ; www.NigeriaGlobalPromo.com (which deals with some of my services to the Nigerian market), www.InternetwealthBusinessAcademy.com (where I practically teach people how to make money on the Net) , www.EasyOnlineBiz.com (my International website where i show people how to make money form the net in the easiest way possible), www.hostanddomainnames.com.(my web hosting company) and  I am also an internet  Forex trader.

I've made quite a lot of friends both local and international from my line of work , I have met and quite friendly with a lot of highly placed individuals in society.

And to me the best thing about the Internet is its just  one big play ground for me to test and develop money making ideas that are always popping up in my head every now and then .

Yeah so I can say I have gained quite a lot from  the Internet .It is my life. It has been good to me and thats why I join others in the world to say its the greatest revolution or invention since the history of the world

So I use myself as a case study and encourage everyone out there that through the Internet you could make it all you need is commitment , be focused and most importantly believe  in yourself and the possibility that you can make money from the Internet.Nothing good comes, easy so stick to it.  All you need is basically an idea. Read think and grow rich by Napoleon Hill thats where I started, read  Success Digest Mag and subscribe to my 6 days free course on How to make money on the Net as a Nigerian through my website below ,

(I want to seize this opportunity to  give kudos to Seun Osewa, the Administor of Nairaland . His has done a darn good job with  this forum. God bless.)

I've gained whining 9ja4eva too
