I know this question may seem childish or confusing,but i decided to ask this questions and discuss this matter because of most of the sales pages and ebooks i read concerning making money online.

Most of the Ebooks i have read on how to make money online claim they earn or make big bucks online,some say they make from $10,000 ,some say $50,000 while others say they receive checks of 6 and 7 figures.

But when you come to think of it,u will begin to imagine why you cannot make just $1,000 to $2,000,i have come across some people who say they have not made much since they started their online business when there are people earning much much more.

I think anybody earning such amount of money online on monthly bases must have some good knowledge and experience in internet marketing and such people need to be closed to so that one can also get some money making knowledge and ideas from the one they have acquired so far.

Can anybody on this forum tell us who here that is making such amount of money monthly or close to those figures? or does it mean that all those claimed figures on money making sales pages and ebooks are just lies just to sell their products?

Hope to hear from you my people.

Thanks.

Ifeanyi.

This thread highlights the common split between glossy sales-page claims and the real-world work behind steady online income. ’s skepticism is reasonable, and ’s point that meaningful results often come after sustained effort is the missing context most marketers skip. Practical, verifiable guidance follows: how to vet claims, realistic scaling routes to a five‑figure monthly run rate, and the numbers that matter.

  • Ask for a clear revenue breakdown: gross vs. net, one‑offs vs. recurring, and the actual product/service mix.
  • Seek verifiable proof that preserves privacy: anonymized/redacted payment-processor statements, long-term read-only analytics access, or repeatable client invoices. Single screenshots are weak evidence.
  • Request unit economics: average order value, conversion rate, gross margin, customer acquisition cost (CAC) and lifetime value (LTV). Those show sustainability.
  • Watch red flags: guaranteed results, pressure to buy expensive upsells, no clear traffic or channel explanation, or only short-term spikes.
  • Insist on a timeline and workload description (hours, team vs. solo). Scaling to five figures usually means systems, traffic channels, or steady repeat buyers—not magic.
  • Prefer case studies that include steps to replicate rather than vague testimonials.

Common, realistic routes to about $15,000/month (examples): a small portfolio of high‑ticket retainers (e.g., five clients at $3,000 each), 300 sales of a $50 digital product (at 1% conversion that implies ~30,000 visitors), or 600 subscribers at $25/month for a SaaS/membership. Each path needs reliable acquisition, decent margins, and churn control; the math is simple but the execution isn’t.

Bottom line: skepticism protects against hype; verified, repeated results plus transparent unit economics separate real businesses from sales copy. Both caution and patient, measured effort are practical tools for anyone pursuing sustainable online income.

We are making that much money :) We did not start with any investment ... Instead, completely grew it from the ground up with $0 out of pocket. But it took us over five years to get to this point, and fulltime for better part of it as well.

cscgal,am happy to hear the honest truth from one like u who confessed that it took you people five years,nice talk.

But u see,the news letter and money making reports we receive today from marketers will never tell you that it took them so many years and efforts to get to that figure and above,they will only tell you that their product will make u earn such big amount monthly without stress.
