| Top Tips After 10 Years Of Making Money Online |
While reminiscing over his working life, and the last 10 years of building an online business, here Dean Holland reveals the four cornerstones that you must have in place to be able to successfully build your own business online for the long term.
“Ten freakin’ years! I can’t believe it…
Good morning everybody. Welcome to another episode of The Drive. It is Dean here of course, en route to Internet Profits HQ. It is raining, it’s cold and wet once again. Welcome to England, ha ha!
So yesterday…
Had A Big, Sudden Realisation
So I was doing a… actually let me just explain this.
Every day, Monday to Friday, I go ‘live’ in our Certified Partner private community Group. This is basically a private Facebook Group exclusively just for our Certified Partner Program…
And so, every day I go live in that Group and I just give some advice and share some stuff to help, inspire and motivate the Partners to grow their businesses and achieve better results. All that good stuff.
Yesterday, I’m doing my daily live broadcast in there, and I said something about the date. And I was like, “What date? What day does that fall on actually?” And I looked on the calendar on the computer while I was on the live.
Even though I knew what year it is, I’d not had this realisation yet… That I left my job in 2009. However, that was eight months after my first sale online, which happened in 2008 – specifically I think was October or November.
So, not exactly 10 years to the day. But this year marks over…
A Decade I’ve Been Actually Making Money Online
A whole decade, it’s pretty insane isn’t it? I don’t think I’ve done anything for a decade, like job-wise or careers or anything like that.
I think the longest ever job I held was for maybe three years, four years perhaps at most. From the age of 16, when I left school – I didn’t go to college or anything – I went straight to a full-time job working as a waiter at a little roadside restaurant/cafe type thing.
And from there, I trained as a cook, or as a chef – whatever you want to call it. Then I left there, within two or three years I think, to actually start my very first own business, which was in mobile catering.
Did that for a little while, but then that went wrong because I actually got robbed by three guys! They robbed my stuff, generators and equipment. And that petrified me. I’d never had an experience of being robbed like that.
So I actually sold the mobile catering trailer, and went and got another job in a pub pouring drinks. Did that for three years maybe… And that’s when, incidentally that’s when…
I Discovered Many People Were Building An ONLINE Business
…and making money online, somewhere around those years. And there’s been more jobs. As I’m saying this, there’s been more and more jobs that I’ve completely forgotten about that I did. I worked in a wood factory putting together cabinets and drawer units. Then finally for a construction company was the last job I actually worked at, that I recall.
And yeah, I was eventually able to make that very first affiliate commission in 2008. Now the thing is, over the years a lot has changed – a lot y’know, if I look back…
