Hmmm...you are in a NICE niche. (and I am pretty heavy in the real estate space). My first thought would be to use your blog to connect with real estate agents in areas where you can do loans.
A mortgage broker friend of mine offers to do free "local mortgage updates" on realtor blogs from around the US. This not only gets him nice backlinks, but CONNECTS him with folks who actually NEED his services. He does it via a llittle widget that he has them put on their WP blog or he just sends it to them to post.
The links bring them back to your site where they can get up to the minute pricing and a pre-qualification app or whatever...
Then dude goes onto facebook, etc...and makes more REALTOR friends (grin). Nice guy, too...strategy works really well for him.
Best;

One question though: Is someone making $50K/month spend his/her days on forums?
I'm close to get $10K/month on the side of my job and already have goals on where to put my hammock on my little oceanfront terrasse instead of getting 8 hours/day posting on forums...But, hey, that's only me...

De-stressing?
This forum is a major de-stresser for me, since my major passion is giving people advise as and when I can.
So Will, how do you 'Tell people about it' and 'promote it'? Perhaps you can be a little more specific and tell us what works, what doesn't, and provide some examples? Since 3 of you are making major dollars perhaps you can all write a time line or biography of your road to online riches? I am sure everyone on the board is curious and is just as motivated to learn and succeed.
And Will, can you mentor me?? I am serious!

It really is that simple -- build content and promote it.
Of course, every day I learn more about how to do those things better.
At least three of us have responded to this thread already.

Yes, definitely, but not in this thread.
I've posted that data in dozens of other threads here.

Hmm.... a timeline... I wrote one of those up once...
I've received a lot of requests lately. I'm going to do my best to respond to all public questions -- but I am going to have to let private conversations slide for a bit.
Plus, I have some projects of my own that I would really like to push forward this year.

Yeah I guess it is really that simple. It probably takes some time to build up the traffic.
In the beginning did you already hire somebody to "tell people about it" or did you do everything yourself? I know now you're hiring people to write and spread the word, but how was it in the beginning?
Also, what was your first major income in the beginning?
