More than $10,000 every month... at age 24?
While working a separate day job?

My name is Robert Plank, BS.CompSci.
I am a PHP programmer and internet marketer.

I learned computer programming in 2001 and completed a few small freelance projects over the Internet. That business took off around 2004 when I began selling my own programs and publishing my own tutorials and books teaching people how to develop web applications in PHP and mySQL.

It experienced another boost in 2005 when I began maintaining a double-optin e-mail list (now over 10,000 subscribers -- 66% of those paid customers).

In 2007, I began selling tutorials with video. This boosted me to $5,000 average monthly profit as a result. I currently sell 30 downloadable infoproducts online teaching PHP, mySQL, JavaScript, WordPress, outsourcing, and copywriting.

In 2008, I averaged OVER $10,000 per month in profit every month.

I am a 24 year old California homeowner, I have a bachelor's degree in computer science and I have a day job at California State University Stanislaus where I am a Web Systems Administrator. My web site is RobertPlank.com.

I have joint ventured with Gary Ambrose, Brian Garvin, John Calder, Robert Puddy, Allen Says, John Taylor, Steven Schwartzman, and Jason Fladlien.

Here is what people have to say about Robert Plank...

Hey Robert
I hope this is a screaming success for you! I LOVE the stuff you produce, I always open your emails because I know that what you say you've got, is what you deliver, unlike many many others out there (even 'big' names). Your stuff is fantastic, I don't even read the whole way down before I buy, because I know your stuff will do what you say it will, and more. Your integrity is really clear and really strong, and I truly applaud you both for that.

The only complaint I've got is that you're so productive I can't keep up with you, and work! :)

But again, I hope this goes gangbusters for you, you are just wonderful, your mum must be really proud :)

Warm wishes

Sandy Kumskov

Keeping up with your product launches is like running after a bus you've just missed. You are a product machine.! Keep up the good work.

If you haven't visited Robert's blog, then I recommend that you do. He shares some very valuable ideas with his blog readers, ideas that are worth more than a lot of stuff that I've paid for in the past.

Robert has come far in the last year or so in marketing. He's one I have fun watching grow!

We all know that his products are great, but he goes the extra mile to give his customers/readers out of the box info! And just think, most of his stuff is free or sell at a very low cost!

Great job Robert, and thanks for sharing with all of us!

Wow, I just bookmarked your site because wow is all I can say. You now have me fired up to get my blog running. (I even have my first and last name domain. I knew that would come in handy!)
Your ideas are right on, and I love the videos.

Robert, fantastic job!

Robert Plank... PHP or PHD?

I've bought a load of stuff from Robert Plank. It's good. Very good. It's excellent value and highly educational. Most comment worthy are his Sales Page Tactics books which show you very sophisticated - and shockingly profitable - techniques that boost conversion rates.

If you want to run your own nickel sale where the price of your product jumps by 5c per sale or you want to turn all your websites into your affiliate program (this one's very clever!) then check out his product range.

Robert Plank is just a doggone nice guy. Anything that Robert creates is top quality, I know, because my hard drive is full of his products and creations that I've bought. He is an easy-to-follow teacher who doesn't talk gibberish you can't understand but rather renders his tutorials in easy English that nearly anyone can understand.

He takes his time, he gives you understandable examples he's just amazing, IMHO. Anyway, today I got my hands on his newest ebook Head First PHP.

I'm glad I got my copy - I've always wanted to learn how to program with PHP! (Now I have to get busy studying!)

Just checked out Robert Plank's site/blog.

Looks useful, and I like his philosophy.

He's selling an ebook/script/video package that he's continually adding to, and with each update, the price goes up. However, if you "buy now", you get the future updates for free.
He's even published how many he's sold at each price, which is almost unheard of.
And they're not over-inflated numbers either.

It's that sort of honesty which earns my respect.

He has no problem with people modifying his scripts, either.

Oh, and I just bought a copy. it's currently at $17.50.
Once I've been through it all, I'll do a mini-review if anyone's interested.

I downloaded 3 of Robert plank's free scripts. Pretty good stuff.

Then today, because I'm on his mailing list, I received an offer to buy some scripts and videos in one of those increasing price sales. Starting price just 5 cents, increasing by 5 cents after every sale. I got in for $2.25.
An absolute bargain for some excellent scripts.

They are well-written, too. Not hacked together by some self-taught programmer, like some scripts I've come across.

I'd recommend him to anyone who needs PHP scripts or wants to learn PHP (he has PHP course ebooks as well).

Robert offered PushButtonPHP.com a few different times on the forum, each time with the price being higher than the time before. People were rushing in droves to get a copy before the price increase, and at one point, it was completely sold out.

I managed to get my hands on a copy of all of his script packages and reviewed each one thoroughly, including implementing these scripts onto different websites I manage.

As a programmer myself, I knew that it would be simple to get these scripts going, my concern was whether a newbie who had no knowledge of programming could be just as successful installing and activating these scripts.

Robert really does seem to have the ability to "think like a newbie", by making his scripts as user-friendly and fool proof as possible. His sales-page featured the following ad:

"If You Can Copy and Paste, You Can Enhance
Your Web Sites Today And Throw
Your Monthly Income Into Overdrive,
With A Couple of Easy Painless Tweaks!"

In all reality, he's telling the truth, it really is as simple as copying and pasting the code into your website pages. He also provides video tutorials on exactly how to do it, and his style is fresh, energetic and personable.

As a fellow coder, I give kudos to Robert for making it all not only seem easy, but BE easy for anyone to do, regardless of what level you are, or how many scripts you have ever installed, if any.

Robert is an excellent PHP programmer, and I own a lot of the info products that he's written on the topic.

Robert Plank is doing some cool stuff with PHP and Javascript.

I recently came across Robert Plank's web site and noticed that he is doing some cool stuff with his web site, using PHP and Javascript. The one that I liked the most is his use of JV Plus, which allows you to easily have an affiliate program promoting your blog and still be able to allow your affiliates to make money with your products.

I recommend you to visit Robert's web site and enjoy the insightful posts about various aspects of Internet marketing and PHP/Javascript programming. He has a large number of utilities listed in the right sidebar which may help you run your website, blogs and business with much more converting power than you may be having now.
