Here is my Story
I started my journey in 2021, I was searching for a way to supplement my income. this led to me looking for a quick way to make money online. Well needless to say that was not the case. I bought into 2 pricy programs that promised success, Not going to say it was a total waste of money because I did learn a lot But,
I found out I could have spent it on better things that were proven to work. So I did more research and found a few mentors to guide me on this new journey. I’m starting from ground zero. I will be posting everything I’m doing so I can see what is working and what is not working. Stay tuned. (January 23, 2021, 7:20 AM)
Just 1 year ago, I was flat out broke.
I’m working as a mechanic, where my wage was $21.50 per hour No matter how hard I worked,
I couldn’t make enough money to sort my living expenses It got to an extent that I almost lost the house I lived in, It was at that point that I told myself that “enough is enough”
I had read online about how young people are making good money off the internet working at home; (A year ago) but here I was sweating my life out from 9-5 every day, with nothing to show for it.
So,
I quickly went online to search for “how to make money from the internet” Despite seeing tons of resources, I tried 3 programs, but I couldn’t just make any meaning from what they were saying: funnels, autoresponders, affiliate links, sales letters, split-testing Everything was just confusing.
But I kept on trying, learning bit by bit, using the free wi-fi at my workplace. I kept a journal where I documented everything, I was learning and trying Gradually, days turned to weeks, and weeks turned to months Exactly 4 months from the day I started, I made my first $300.
See back in the earlier days (1996) when the internet just got started I was in an MLM.
The only programs I’m making money with.

My Journey in Online Business: A Cautionary Tale with a Silver Lining
For years, I’ve chased the dream of online success. This journey has been a rollercoaster ride, filled with expensive mistakes and moments of genuine progress. Here’s my story, hoping it can help others avoid some of the pitfalls I encountered.
Early Struggles and a $30,000 Disappointment
Early on, I fell prey to a program that promised quick riches through affiliate marketing. They convinced me to invest a staggering $30,000 in website hosting, design, and “magic” marketing tools. The program pressured using expensive tools and offered little support. Despite following their instructions, I saw no results. This left me feeling frustrated and financially drained.
A Word on Unrealistic Promises
This experience taught me a valuable lesson: beware of programs that push easy money online and expensive tools. Building a successful online business requires hard work, time, and knowledge, not just a hefty investment.
Finding the Right Approach
Discouraged but not defeated, I continued searching for legitimate ways to succeed online.
Blog Profit Network: A Beacon of Hope
Then, I discovered Blog Profit Network (BPN) through a YouTube video. Here’s what made BPN stand out:
- Focus on Expired Domains: BPN emphasized using established domains with existing search engine ranking, unlike programs pushing expensive website builders. This resonated with me because finding a profitable niche was my biggest challenge.
- Free Training: BPN offered valuable free training on reviving expired domains. This training empowered me to see their strategy work firsthand. I used it to revive a website and even landed my first affiliate commission!
My Positive Results with BPN
I could honestly say I wish I found BPN before I had spent the 30k on my website I would have gladly paid that for what I have learned with BPN but you know what it was a fraction of the cost.
Since joining BPN, I’ve seen success with two websites. One generated my first affiliate commission, and the other resulted in an Amazon sale. While I’m not yet making a fortune, it’s a significant improvement compared to my previous experiences.
Overall Impression
BPN has been a game-changer for my online business journey. Their focus on practical strategies, support, and free training sets them apart. It’s not a “get rich quick” scheme, but it provides the tools and knowledge I needed to start seeing positive results.
Final Thoughts
My journey highlights the importance of doing your research, avoiding programs with unrealistic promises, and focusing on acquiring valuable skills. There’s a lot to learn about online business, but there’s also hope. With the right approach, you can achieve success.
