Just curious if anyone in here makes a living primarily via online networking ! Whether it be mlm, blogging, affliated marketing, and etc.

I don't

When I hear mlm and affiliated marketing I just think of the biggest turds I've ever met in my personal life (none of which are successful) and I get a bad taste in my mouth.

If anyone did, that person would start about ten threads every day just to tell you how great it is and that you should join his network.

Hahaha exact answers I was expecting !
It works, life vantage, and so on are all bogus.
I do know people who make money online but not enough to live off of just yet.
It's crazy how many more mlm companies just keep presenting themselves and people still buy into them thinking they'll get rich. If you look at the numbers to 90% of all mlm companies the majority never make more than $500 a month.

I don't, but the majority of my social circle does. None of the things you listed but one owns a similar site to godaddy.com, another has a wordpress template website and a few more have various online store and dropshipping web sites

It isn't easy to get to their level but I don't think there is a better life out there. Guys travel all over the world. Summers in Europe, winters in South America. Various women all over the world. I could go on and on...

Pejman Ghadimi, founder of secrectentourage.com, and entrepreneur called out all mlm companies not too long ago. He offered a home that claims they make like 500k+ strictly from an mlm company when having no affiliation with them prior or having being paid just to join then would personally pay them so much money. All he wanted was proof OMG h form of actual pay-stubs.
No one has came forward yet .
Lol

That's pretty interesting! Congrats to them .
I know it's possible but for sure not easy.
Ive recently launched three websites or my own in hopes of them becoming something in the next few years.
Never really know !

One of the most ignorant comment I've seen in a while over here. Your sample size is clearly too small which is the cause for your bias. If I could make a living solely online, that's what I'd do. Like someone else mentioned - that is the idea of most people's "perfect life."

Who wouldn't want to make a ton of money on auto-pilot with the ability to work from literally anywhere in the world?

Well personally I've been around tons of people who do mlm and I've never seen any of them doing successful from it. Most spend more than they make. Maybe it's because they haven't been in it for many years yet, I personally don't know. Reason I'll never join any is because what's the point in signing up for a product that I have to pay a monthly fee for, I don't believe in, too many people are already pitching it, and the time I'm spending marketing this I could be selling something I've created or what not . We live in a world where we're told to spend our lives making others successful when in reality if we took that same time to invest in ourselves we could be much more successful than any product or mlm company could make us.

Excuse my grammar I'm in a rush .

Actually not true.

Anyone can create a product and rather quickly.
Name any skill you have or know how to do.
Create an ebook, create a cover, run some ads, and boom bring traffic.
It's very possible and fairly simple.

The hard part is the work, and the truth is no one wants to put in the work.

Ive come to notice the ones that knock the possibilities of earning money online are the same ones who have yet to explore it or do so.
Most have failed.
But very possible.

Can you make money doing mlm and such? Maybe - if you really bust your arse. It sure as hell isn't free.

Thing is, you can do that in pretty much any industry if you are creative enough and work hard enough. And the odds are probably better.

You're talking about 2 different things. Is there money to be made? Yes. Do you have to work hard? Ofcourse. Hardwork is required in pretty much any field to be successful.

Yes. A friend of mine is a distributor for Nuance and all of his business is generated from web based marketing. Although he does have an office and 3 employees. Not sure if this qualifies for your request.

Recently put into motion a plan for a side hustle. Initial investment was just over $1,000. Included a class through SLU, reference guide/textbook, fees to register for a certification exam, etc, insurance, and one additional certification.

Stated here before my goal was $100/week within a year.

Started said side hustle last Thursday. On pace to recoup initial investment and in the black within 30 days time.

All biz generated through one free online platform. Have not spent a dime in marketing. No biz cards. No website. Nothing. It's a ridiculously early and small sample size but I am at 200% of my 52 week goal after 1 week.

I am kicking myself for not going after this sooner. I have toyed with it since 2009. I could be much, much further along.
