I Have Paid off $60,000 in Debt Since May 2007 By Making Money Online!

I cannot believe it. In May 2007 I started off with $72,900 worth of debt and now I am down to $11,518.34! That is over $60k paid off! My goal was to pay it all off by April 2009 and to be honest with you I think I may reach my goal even sooner.

I honestly thought that my goal to pay off $72,900 worth of debt in 2 years soley by making money online was going to be IMPOSSIBLE. I mean, I knew nothing about internet marketing or earning cash online. I could never have imagined this future and the success i’d be able to create.

I truly feel led by my life’s mission to help others do the same, which is why I created The Niche Blogger. You will never know where your future will lead you, but you can put yourself on the path of prosperity by taking steps down the right road.

I am really excited for the day when I can finally yell out “I’M DEBT FREE!!!” Soon… very soon. Being this close is giving me a ton of momentum!

Yipeee, I could not think of a better Thanksgiving present. Instead of shopping on black friday I sent off a huge payment to my debt and I got to tell you, it feels so much better.

    You just keep doing what you’re doing. I’m having trouble making $10 on the internet. I wish I knew what you were doing…

    Are you going to call the Dave Ramsey Show and yell “I’m debt free!”?

    If you are, you tell everyone when to tune in.

    Hey Amy,
    You are doing great, look forward to hearing you call Dave Ramsey’s radio show and scream “I’m Debt-free”…..I have a question about your Niche Blogger. How many months do I need to complete your course, or do I pay the fee every month as long I am working online. I am a little confused concerning the cost?? Also if I sign up, is blogging the only thing I have to do in order to earn money online? Thanks for any clarification..

    Tony

    Wow! Great work, you have done very well to pay of so much so quickly!

    Hope you achieve your goal sooner then you aim to :)

  8. admin on December 1st, 2008

    Tony – You can stay for as long or short as you’d like. You are not locked in at all. Yes blogging is all you’d need to do to make money online, no selling involved. ;)

  9. Tony Motes on December 1st, 2008

    Thanks Amy!! I’m considering signing up real soon.

    HI, Amy, I have have been popping in and out of since you began this goal. Everytime I come back I am amazed at how well you have done! It has been a long time since you mentioned your husband. I recall he had some medical issues. Has he been able to help you with all your online endevors?

    Really excited for you to be achieving this goal. I am sure your family is too!
    Great Work!

  12. Elisa on December 2nd, 2008

    A huge congratulations Amy!

    I only wish I would have listened to you over a year ago. I’m just glad to be part of The Niche Blogger now and looking forward to following in your foot steps.

    For those you thinking about joining you need to get busy and start now. You won’t regret it.

  15. Julie @ Write for eHow on December 3rd, 2008

    Amy,

    This is so incredibly inspiring. Congratulations to you!

  16. Heidi on December 3rd, 2008

    Great job Amy! Your ability to make that much online with no background in Internet marketing is just amazing.

    I’m enjoying the Niche Blogger program. I love the step by step approach and the constant interaction. It’s not too elementary for those of us that have been around for a while either.

    Thanks!

  17. Jill on December 3rd, 2008

    I just started Amy’s course (The Niche Blogger) and it’s fabulous.

    In fact, I’ve sunk money into higher-priced products by big-name gurus, and Amy surprised me with plenty of info they had never preached about.

    And that’s just in the first month!

    Can’t wait to learn more.

  18. Rebecca on December 5th, 2008

    Wow, congratulations! That’s really inspirational.

  19. Lyndsay on December 8th, 2008

    Congratulations Amy, that is fantastic. You are a real inspiration.

    I joined The Niche Blogger recently and I have to say I am really impressed. The course is excellent and really easy to follow.

    I look forward to reading the post when you are finally debt free.

    Keep up the good work!

    Best wishes
    Lyndsay

    Amy, I’ve been following your story since we met on the My TMMO boards way back when you first started this mission. Your progress is so inspiring–in fact, you were the one that inspired me to start blogging as a way to turn around my own finances! I’ve paid off nearly $20k this year myself, and look forward to complete debt freedom in 2009! Thanks for sharing your story, and congratulations on your success!

  21. Katherine on December 20th, 2008

    What an inspiration you are! I remember when you first started this blog. You started making money pretty much out of the gate, with CashCrate. I’ve watched you grow and learn and now I’m learning from you over at Niche Blogger. It’s been so fun watching you succeed!

  22. fast easy money on December 26th, 2008

    Congrats to you , Amy. You are truly inspiring and to see you make these huge leaps is astounding !! Keep it up !!

  23. dyamondrose on January 2nd, 2009

    Congratulations Amy! You are an inspiration. Keep it up. Happy New Year!

  24. Debt Free or Bust - Sherri on January 3rd, 2009

    Congratulations Amy!

    You inspire me to keep plugging along on making money online. I’m more successful than I have been, but I have more work to do. A lot of my current online income isn’t passive because I need cash to pay the bills. But my passive income is improving and The Niche Blogger is helping me a lot more than TDC. Your approach makes more money faster than theirs.

    Happy New Year!
    Sherri

    Did you pay taxes on your online earnings? How did you report your earnings?

  26. admin on February 18th, 2009

    Yes of course I paid taxes on it. Just because you earn it online does not mean it is tax free. You report it just as you would any business income.

  27. Credit Answers on March 26th, 2009

    Way to go. Getting out of debt is a long process. Yours is truly a great story. oover 60k paid off in such a short amount of time. WOW way to go

  28. RachelB on April 9th, 2009

    Your story is so inspiring, Amy! Way to go!
