I received a wonderful e-mail yesterday. An SBIer sent it privately because he didn't want it in the SBI! Forums.
There were several strong lessons in it, so I asked him if I could make a post about it if I removed all identifiable information. With his consent (and I use the masculine here to avoid the his/her awkwardness), here's the letter...---------------------------------
Hi Ken,
Just wanted to share that I broke the magical barrier of $1000 per day with my earnings in October - that's almost 4 years since I found SBI.
I don't feel very comfortable sharing that in the forums for various reasons.
I thought you might want to know about it, and assure you that Sitesell enables people to do some life changing projects.
The ________________.com site is my main earner - my record is 7800 daily visitors and the site earns on average over $300 per day in AdSense, over $200 per day with Chitika and over $200 per day with Amazon affiliate program. The rest I earn with my other sites...
I am moving to a new apartment this month and I will have to take some credit of around $70,000. I told the lady in the bank that I will pay it back in a few months and she just couldn't get it. Most people pay such amount back in 10, 15 or 20 years.
I am also flying business class to Thailand at the end of the year and will do a cruise from Singapore to other nice Asian countries.
I've also motivated about 5 or 6 of my friends here in ____________ and persuaded them to start with SBI so you might see more people from ___________ posting in the forums. We are quite shy though...
I don't have to persuade my friends much - they just see how I live and the desire for freedom eventually wins in their minds. It's sad to realize that all this time they believed that freedom is not possible.
It is! Thanks again for all the effort you put into Sitesell and the forums!
Best regards,

What a letter! Now, this is not a Case Study SBIer, just someone who followed the Action Guide, persisted and exceeded his earliest goals. Before we get into the letter...
