When Gurus Have To Resort To Spam

Okay, so I happen to moderate at this one forum. Anyway, I wake up this morning and I see this thread title. It looked interesting. I then see the person who posted it and I said to myself, "Wow...I can't believe he came to this rather obscure forum." Then I took a look at the post itself. It was a blatant advertisement for some seminar that he's running at $200 a ticket. I thought to myself, "As successful as you are, you have to resort to spamming a forum?"

I know what he was thinking. Nobody at this forum who is anybody is going to know who he is. He'll just be another name in the crowd. I guess what he didn't count on was me being a moderator there. Or maybe he didn't care. Maybe he just figured, "What the heck...I'm (name goes here) and I can do anything I want and nobody is going to say anything. After all, I'm (name goes here)."

Yeah, when you start believing your own press, that's when you get into trouble.

Anyway, it really bugged me that somebody at his success level had to resort to spamming a forum, no matter how small the forum may be in comparison to the HUGE world he manages to fit his over-inflated ego into. There is bound to be somebody there who will recognize him and spread the word about his cheap tactics.

And that brings me to the point of this article. Believe it or not, contrary to what YOU might be thinking, the Internet is a SMALL place, especially if you're in the "make money" niche. Everybody knows everybody else and somewhere out there is somebody frequenting a forum or social site who will see these tactics and have the clout to make a big enough stink about them. And when negative press gets around, it gets around.

So think twice before you spam or cookie stuff or whatever nasty things you THINK you can get away with.

Somebody is going to catch you who you will wish to God didn't.

To YOUR Success,

Money Making Ideas - Are You Jumping From Project to Project?

You seem to think that somewhere out there in the marketplace, there has to be a perfect product that will teach you a new and unique way to make money.

Of course, I cannot blame you. Because that's what many people say! You will read, time and again, about the poor guy stuck in his day job; never happy; perhaps broke and homeless, until one day he stumbles upon this system that you now can also learn - and which will make you a millionaire in a week or two.

You don't even have to work, and the system is totally covered by a convincing money-back guarantee.

So you buy this product, and suddenly find out that there is work involved after all. And then you learn about a new product, so you buy that - and so the story continues.

I'm afraid I have bad news for you.

I have not met one person who lives from means derived from the Internet, who hasn't put in some amount of work in the process of achieving this income.

Not one.

And I have never heard about anyone either (a real person that is) who made his fortune over night.

So forget about those ideas; live in reality, and you will actually be able to make a living online.

But you need to focus.

Out of all the products you've bought lately, is there one that 'speaks' to you more than the others... one that resonates the feeling of being compatible with your current knowledge and/or experience?

If so, concentrate on this one, and make it your priority.

Set aside two hours of work every day, where you focus on this project entirely.

If the author hasn't already supplied it, devise your own action plan for the project. Divide it into weeks, or even days. Take a look at all the things involved with the project, and note them down. You could, perhaps, even make an estimate of how much time each issue will take, so you could decide how many of those things you could achieve on any given day.

For instance:

Day 1 - Choose a niche; buy a domain; set up the domain

Day 2 - Find keywords; write articles etc.

Then stick with this project for as long as it takes, until you're sure that it's making you consistent money.

It may not bring you anything in the first time you put it into operation, so then you should take a close look at what you've done. Should you do something slightly differently? Are there any changes that would increase your chances of making money?

You'll be surprised to learn how even a minuscule change in a detail can sometimes make a big difference - and only you can find that out.

Money Making Ideas - Are You Making These Seven Common Money-Making Mistakes?

Most people earn nothing at all, or so little that it doesn't make any significant difference to their lives.

Other people are lucky enough to make some extra income, but they still need to keep their day job in order to survive.

Finally, a small group people (of which I'm lucky to be a part) make their online business their main - or only - income.

Why does the remainder fail?

Here are some of the most common mistakes that I've noticed:

Mistake #1 - Waiting for the Perfect Idea

People have a profound belief that, in order to make money online, you have to have a perfect idea.

Since they don't think they've found that million dollar idea yet, they just tend to wait. And, of course, make no money in the meantime.

Mistake #2 - Jumping from Project to Project

Jumping from one big thing to the next is related to the perfect idea belief.

Somewhere out there, they believe, there has to be THE info-product that will teach them THE secret to making money.

So they buy one product, and when that doesn't make them 1,000 dollars per week in the first fortnight, they move on to the next.

Mistake #3 - Testing, Testing, and Re-testing

A few people actually do come up with a good idea. Perhaps not a billion-dollar idea, but an inventive one just the same. So they start working on it. And, when it's finished they test it; and test it and test it again.

It never seems to be perfect, so they continue to make small changes. And since the product never goes on sale, they don't make any money from it.

Mistake #4 - Not Testing At All

On the other hand, you have people who also think of an idea; work on it; put up a sales page - and then stop.

They never once test if one headline works better than another; or if a higher or lower price will sell more product.

Mistake #5 - Expecting Money Immediately

People want literally success overnight. Since this rarely happens, they either jump from project to project, or just give up entirely.

Mistake #6 - Quitting Too Early

Many online millionaires would still have been poor people, if they had made one of the most common mistakes of all: quitting too early.

Sometimes, it takes years to achieve success. Sometimes just months, but it always involves work of some kind. Nothing comes from doing nothing.

Do you think there would have been an Amazon today, if Jeff Bezos had given up too early?

Mistake #7 - Not Taking Action

Not taking action is probably the most common mistake, and the mistake that costs the most in lost income.

People use all kinds of excuses in order to not take action. They don't dare; or they don't have all the information needed; or they don't have the time; or they'll wait until... until never.

Any action is, in fact, better than no action at all, and it's easy to find a variety of money-making ideas on the Internet.
