How I Made $8,425.00 In 1 Day From My Niche Internet Business

I didn’t write this post to brag about the figure I made from my niche business. I write this to inspire you and let  you know that it’s possible to make $8,425.00 in one day just from an Internet business with the right tools and strategies in place.

As you can see I have a system in place to let people know that I only check my email on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which is also the time I devote to that business. This is a deliberate choice I make because I want to spend my time doing many different things, some work related (business building), some health related (exercise) and some for fun (seeing friends, family, eating out, etc).

If you want to achieve figures like this or higher in a day, you need to set realistic expectations and then match your activities to meet those expectations. Then hopefully, like I have managed to do, you can create a fantastic lifestyle built around an Internet business.

How To Achieve These Goals?
The most important concept I have learnt about running a successful Internet business is to set up the right systems. When I first started out I did everything in the business, from deliveries to ordering and dispatching of products. I realised how hard I was working and not working smart, since we think the Internet is suppose to give us the fantastic lifestyle compared to the 9 to 5 work. So I made a hard decision and looked at what activities I did that brought in the most revenue and outsourced the rest.

It wasn’t easy at first because I had got so used to the routine that I still had the itch to be involved in running the business rather than let the business run itself.

So how did I change?
It wasn’t until I found out that I had to go overseas for a two and a half weeks for my partner’s relatives wedding. It was a turning point for me because I had to set up the systems for the business to run automatically whether I was there or not. Some simple things I implemented before I went away:

1. I hired a virtual assistant to handle all sales enquires and manage orders for me
2. I set up automatic debit payments from my credit cards to pay suppliers and bills.
3. Set up an automatic email responder training customers to read the FAQ instead of waiting for a reply. 90% of the questions are similar in one way or another and can be answered in an FAQ.

Before I knew it, I came back from an overseas trip with more money in my account than I had before the trip. What a surprise it was for me! I can say that I am a true testimony that it’s possible to earn a full time income from part-time work having the right systems implemented.
