Right around the corner from where I live is an fairly popular internet marketing company you may have heard of. It’s called Google. In 1998 two PHD students at Stanford University named Larry and Sergey incorporated this brainstorm that began as a research project two years earlier.
It started in a friends garage in Menlo Park.
They gave it that funny name that apparently everyone in the entire world knows by now. Its mission statement from the outset was “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful”, and its unofficial slogan was “Don’t be evil.”
Fast forward to 2005. Three former Paypal employees created a website where people could upload home videos for fun and other people could watch them. They called it YouTube.
Just over one year later Google bought YouTube. Their combined revenues last year exceeded $50 BILLION.
Ironically, Larry and Sergey tried to sell off Google to another tech company early on for $1 million, because they decided that the search engine they had developed was taking up too much of their time from academic pursuits! Yipes!
So you may ask, can I really make money on the internet working from home? Are these guru website classes any good? With all these huge companies is there any room for me or is it too late? GREAT NEWS!
Remember my question from the title of this blog?
So who are Arnel Pineda and Justin Bieber?
Bieber was a 14 year old kid in Canada sitting at home singing on his sofa and was discovered by a talent manager who saw his video on YouTube. As a result, Bieber was hooked up with famous singer Usher and ultimately got himself a record deal. The rest, as they say, is history.

Arnel? A poor homeless filipino kid who couldn’t speak English. His mother, who had been suffering from heart disease, died when he was thirteen. Her illness had left their family deep in debt. Being months behind on their rented apartment and unable to sufficiently provide for the family, his father decided to move out and ask relatives to take in Pineda’s siblings. To ease his father’s burden, Pineda quit school and volunteered to strike out on his own.
About two years of his life were spent out on the streets, sleeping wherever he could: in public parks, or on a narrow bench outside a friend’s crowded house. He earned meager money by collecting glass bottles, newspapers, and scrap metal and selling them to recyclers. He would also go to the pier with his friends and take on odd jobs like cleaning scrap metal and docked ships.
He didn’t have much to eat, sometimes rationing a small package of biscuits as his meal for two days.
In 1982, when Pineda was 15 years old, he became the lead singer of the Filipino group Ijos. He used to sing in a Shakey’s Pizza Parlor in Manilla.
With famous lead singer Steve Perry now in retirement following hip surgery, the ’80′s rock band Journey were kind of in a pickle when it came to concert touring.
In December 2007, Journey hired Arnel Pineda after Neal Schon saw him on YouTube singing covers of Journey songs. Their next album, Revelation, debuted at No.5 on the Billboard charts, selling more than 196,000 units in its first two weeks and staying in the top 20 for 6 weeks. Journey also found success on billboard’s adult contemporary chart where the single “After All These Years” spent over 23 weeks, peaking at number 9.
Receipts from the 2008 tour made Journey one of the top grossing concert tours of the year, bringing in over $35 million smackeroos! Here is Arnel’s incredible story on where else? YouTube of course. CAUTION! This video makes me cry every time
.
So you may be saying, “Well, Dave, that’s a nice little story you got there, but I’m not a techie, I’m not even a nerd or a geek. And I’m definitely not a singer. So what?” Fair enough.
My point is simply this. As a result of Google and YouTube and Paypal, and Facebook and Twitter, and…on and on and on, people who are willing to learn are creating substantial incomes using the internet.
My point? You can too! There is still time. It’s not too late for you my friend. And I am passionate about helping people realize their potential and going for their dreams. But it requires that you stop wondering and being jealous and just make a decision. Then stop procrastinating and take action. NO MORE EXCUSES! Just do something.
Notice that all these big multi-megabuck companies started out with NOTHING except an idea. But they had guts. They started out small and so did I.
My father died at age 49 when I was just 22. My son had cerebral palsy and was in diapers and a wheelchair for 5 and a half years. Then he died. Not only that. After 20 years of marriage I went through a painful divorce. And yet, I have hope. I have a purpose for living. So did homeless singer Arnel. Do you?
