awesome success stories in online business Holly Mann and Honest Riches
721st Story: Holly Mann
Hi, am about to tell you about 3 success stories I know of 3 women whom are really hard workers and proved their selves to be great internet marketers.
The first one: a single Mom, no income source, couldn't even afford to live in US; she managed to boost her online income from nothing to $12000 a month.
Her name is Holly Mann; she's now 25 years old and has just bought a new mansion in Thailand, why Thailand? The story began about 3 years ago when she used to serve in the US army. Holly used to work on FrontPage to update the military website; while there she incurred an injury to her foot, and was honorably discharged. She immediately took a civilian job delivering packages in Baghdad, Iraq about 6 months after the Gulf War started.
After that Holly Mann decided to leave Iraq but not to the United States as one might expect but to Thailand, a place she treasured. She had lived there when she was 16 on a student exchange program sponsored by the Rotary Club.
With a child on the way Holly decided that she will return home and move in with her brother Kerry to cut the expenses. While there Holly used to surf the net and discovered that she can sell pre-made websites on eBay which made her about $900 a month.

While selling some pre-made mortgage lead-generating websites she knew that her customers have to host their sites somewhere and she joined an affiliate program by Wild West Domains and started getting a cut of the sales she drive to this website. Later she started her own site and recommended several hosting companies she was affiliated with. Her websites were designed in a way that if you click on something she recommend and bought something she will make money (you don't need a product to make money online). So Holly made more money with these techniques and started to learn more about online business, especially the importance of getting traffic to her website, so she added several articles loaded with information and keywords so that she can get more from search engines (Google, Yahoo, ...)
One of the programs she joined was to promote an eBook called the Rich Jerk. She did well promoting this eBook but soon, the aspects of the Rich Jerk's Internet marketing strategies became uncomfortable to her. She knew that the book was not good for beginners and that she can write a better eBook and yes she did later.
Holly gave birth to an adorable baby named Joshua Tyler Mann on January 16th of 2005, she yearning to get independent and live with her son, but she didn't have enough money to provide a good option.
Holly daydreamed about being a survivalist and moving to a remote area with her baby, this actually was surprisingly viable, since she had been studying survival skills for quite some time in addition to her military survival training.
Why yet another move to Thailand? Holly, "I love the food, the people
(who are very funny, easy-going and always smiling), the culture and
living in the mountains." She reasoned with nothing to loose & everything to gain, why not?
Holly Sold what ever she had in order to make the move Thailand She even had to sell her prized Sony VAIO laptop, leaving her without a computer. Which is something impossible to give for an Internet Marketer but for Holly she had a dream.
In Thailand she could survive by her 700$ a month disability check if she had to as a safety net, which was impossible in US. After arriving to Thailand Holly got her self a computer for $250! And an Internet connection with a dial up modem, it was very hard on her to get a stable connection to the internet since the telephone line was shared among several apartments in the building.
Finally, she got her book completed & rushed to get it online, but often
while uploading her web pages; her neighbors would pick up the phone
to make a call forcing Holly to lose her Internet connection. She would
have to start all over again. This was enough to drive one nuts. It often
took over an hour to make an update because the modem was only
giving her 14 kbps. This would drive many an affiliate marketer to drink.
But she did it! Holly Mann launched her eBook & it was an immediate
success to the tune of $12,000 in profits during the first month. this was all she dreamed of and worked for in the last four months, Her booked was named: "Breakthrough Money Making Secrets Revealed." That she changed later to Honest Riches in the past two years this eBook made her residual monthly income of $12000.
Holly started to receive thank you letters from customers all over the world whom had bought her eBook and applied the techniques she recommended in it, her honesty in dealing with her customers and answering their emails and requests really gave its rewards in the amount of sales she achieved.
