Dirty Jobs that IM courses does not cover...

[seven87]

hey guys

Many ebooks and courses are definitely a workable system, no doubt profitable ones if you put in the effort.

However, due to the fact that these information are trying to motivate you and trying to bring you the whole picture of the blueprint from a bird's eye view...

Many people, (especially newbies), are left wondering...

What is the next immediate step? Many little details, little next steps are not being mentioned in these information, due to the fact that it might be too troublesome to go through all these...

like: walkthroughs of how to do videos, how to upload them, google shortcuts, how to manage webmails through IMAP or POP, what you need to know about web hosting, etc etc.

All in all, the dirty jobs might not be significant when it comes to profiting, but its the next step actions in which people are stuck! These are the hygiene factors!(herzberg)

So, i am hoping that through this thread, we can see what are the dirty job problems which people are facing, when they going through information(try to mention the problem, but not the information that you buy)

It can be technical stuffs, softwares walkthrough, dealing with blogs, hosting... whatever is the stumbling block to fulfilling the work as mentioned in the information.

One reason you don't see that level of detail in 'make money' ebooks is that covering all the bases would make the product so bulky and awkward that no one would get anything from it.

Another factor is the rate at which things change. Every time a piece of software goes through another version, the make money product would need to be updated. Add in multiple platforms (PC vs. Mac, Windows vs. Linux, etc.) and the task is impossible.

Yet one can find videos, tutorials and tips on any of the 'dirty work' topics you mentioned if they spend just a little time searching.

Hey John,

This is the best advice, teaching folks how to research for themselves. Between Google and Youtube, virtually anything semi-popular will have some type of help.

And the "teaching" couldn't be easier. Just learn a few "magic" words to add to the main keywords:

how to
tutorial
faq
guide
newbie guide
intro to
instructions

Kurt, thanks for adding the missing details that make a more complete answer. Glad you did some of my 'dirty work' for me...

One idea to take advantage of this situation could be -

Quote two prices while selling a product -
1) Price for the main product
2) Higher price offering extra/additional guidance, which could be in the form of mail outs.

Hence for just providing easily available tips and guidance on the various nitty-gritties could bring in additional income?

That might be an option. I see a few challenges, though.

> If you sell any volume, you could be looking at spending all your time looking up resources and emailing them out. Or outsourcing that function, which yields a management job many are not equipped to handle.

> If you're looking to provide the information yourself, you would need extensive expertise on just about every version of every platform out there, along with server configurations for the most popular platforms (MS IIS and Linux Apache) which each have hundreds of different possible combinations.

> You don't know how far back in the knowledge chain you have to go. "Right click the mouse on..." "Wait, which one is the right one? And what about the wrong one?"...

If you wanted to offer an additional service for teaching the 'nitty gritty' stuff, you'd have to make sure any takers understood that theire's a point you might have to say "check with [your hosting company, the software maker, etc.] because I don't know."

Hey John, i totally agree with you, just spend a bit of time searching and there is tutorials available. It is just that some times there might be no quality answers, especially to very specific combination of problems, which its understandable... becos its simply troublesome and time consuming.
