Re:Ask HN: How to become a millionaire in 3 years? by dmurko on Thursday June 24, 2010 @04:03AM (#1457579)
It's funny how a lot of people say it's not possible, though there are hundreds of thousands of people on the internet who've done it (and I don't mean just exceptions).

For example: affiliate marketing and the whole internet marketing scene is making teens millionaires. I've been in London on this guy's conference:

He's become a millionaire in 2 years, starting when he was 17. Sure, he is somewhat "special", but I've been following internet marketing and there are 15 year olds that are making 5k$ /month just with affiliate marketing.

You think you're at least as capable as 15 or 17 year old? I sure think I am. Though there is a bitter taste to it all - the above guy made 100k$ with a method, then he sold the method to the public and made himself a millionaire.

Browse a little through IM scene and you'll see it's a totally different world. But it might not be your cup of tea. ;)

You wasted your money going to his conference.

He is obviously playing on the get rich quick mentality that many people seem to possess.
