Welcome to Internet Riches

Welcome to my blog and my wealth-building journey. I have started this blog for everyone to see the steps I have take to build an online fortune, and to interact with me and each other. The goal is earn $100 000 a year from internet marketing, half of which is residual. I plan to reach this goal in one years time. As I move towards internet riches the only money to be put into the project is that which the online business has generated, no loans, or out of pocket funds.

On the road to internet Success - day 3 and 4

I am putting the weekend road to online wealth steps into one post. So this will include today and Saturday.



Today I started a word press blog. Check it out http://internetroadtowealth.wordpress.com Not sure if this wi
ll create more work than traffic but I guess time will tell. I will see what blog gets the most traffic and make notes and links to get them to work together. I created 2 sites to see which did better and to have separate blogs and sites that can link to each other. One of the keys to online visitors and thus success is traffic which often come from search engines. One way to rank high on Google is to have lots of relevant links to your site. How I am going to do that is link my posts and blogs together whenever I have the opportunity. I will also add my link to other sites like Twitter and the other social media accounts I will open. The more I can get my site out there the better.

The other day I did a post about the 7 habits of highly effective people and how it relates to creating wealth. Over the next few days I will have to take that advise and put it to use.
First thing I will need to do is get the end in sight. What do I want out of this? I know it is an experiment and I hope to be a resource for others looking to make more money or and an extra stream of income to their life. I have to decide how much money do I want to make form this venture? Where do I want it to take me? Lots to think about.

I think the biggest thing I need to do is plan each day. Make a list of things that will help me make money. On that list start with the most difficult task, or the task that I do not want to do. I find that I waste lots of time. I watch a video, they mention a good idea so I pause the video, look up the idea and open up 20 different web pages. Meanwhile I have not seen the rest of the video and am off onto something totally different. I can go in circles lie this all day long, bad habit that I have to break. So I have to get myself a notebook, and jot down my to do list for the next day. I think this will keep me on track and get focused for the next day.
Well that about covers it for today. Leave me and others a comment, would love to hear your thoughts.

On the road to internet Success - day 2

Today I am still in the building phase of my internet wealth building plan.

I have set up a blog now I have to start adding content, links and get some traffic to the site.

As you can see I went with blogger. This will change as I start to make money online and pay for hosting. Part of my plan is to start from scratch and not but any of my own money into it, mainly because I do not have any. I know this will take a little longer but I do want to see how long it takes to build an on-line business from scratch with empty pockets.

I think a hosted site and a domain name will be the first thing I do when a check comes in. The second thing I will buy is a system to collect names and address. Maybe this should be my first purchase as they say a list is so very important.

Today I:
  • Added twitter feed, added twitter to my blog
  • Added a traffic counter to the blog, the stats are open for everyone to see as I want you to be able to follow my success
  • Created a feeburner feed
  • went to open up a business but I could only go so far because of the fees involved
I also did some reading I find Pro Blogger an excellent resource. It is written by a guy who has made a successful online business from blogging, lots to learn there.

Today I will do more work on the blog to make it a little more informative. Then I will have to do some research to see what tomorrow should focus on.

Good luck to building your own internet wealth system.

Rags to Riches Day 1

Day 1 on my way to internet marketing success


Today is the first day of my rags to riches story. I am tired of not having the time or money to do as I like. I have heard of so many other making money on line and living the life I would like to. So I said I will do my best to earn an extra stream of income from my online efforts.


Today is the beginning of my journey to internet marketing success. I am off to a slow start as I only did a few things today to get ready for the riches that lie ahead. Maybe that is a bad sign, you often hear of people that take off like a race horse as they begin, but I want this, so I do believe that I will be successful.

Here is a list of what I did today:

  • Signed up on twitter – you can follow me there too, RoadToWealth

  • Started a blog - Internet riches, this is it that you are reading now
  • Opened up an e-mail account - internetroadtowealthATgmail.com feel free to contact me there
  • I also signed up for an affiliate account at http://www.thesecondtier.com
    You can get a free DVD form them if you follow my first Affiliate Link: http://atltrainer.TheSecondTier.com/freedvd
  • I watched a few how-to videos on the site

I think that was about it for my first day. I would say that it took about 2 hours, was not all that fun but I think it is stuff that needed to be done to start out.

Next I plan on working on my blog here, adding content and links, set up a feed, add a statcounter, find some fours to join and see how fast I can get my first Affiliate sale.

I will talk to you again soon as things happen
