Convincing My Relative!

What would be the best ways to get proof that my infoproduct will make money so I can convince a relative to lend start up funds?

This relative is not too knowledgeable about making money on the internet.

    try something on a small scale like running a wso or selling a small report or affiliate marketing if you can reach the 200-300$ mark that can be convincing to some people

    also you can search youtube for some tv shows that talks about making money online i remember seeing once for russel brunson

      I know how hard it is to do this. Unfortunately most people are sceptical and even more so sceptical of people chasing their dreams, it's taken me a full year to convince my mum of anything..

      Just 2 days ago, she wrote off my debt, to allow me to have money for everything I do, she finally said, she knew what may be holding me back..

      You just gotta hold out as there's usually no convinving where family is conerned, especially when they know nothing about what's out there.

      My advice, is keep working on something until you have a substantial amount of things to back up your claims that you will work hard, and eventually the message will make it to it's destination.

      Good Luck.

    raise the funds yourself like most of us have done, where? via internet marketing

    thats what I and most successful people did, then not tied down by any partners who do not understand what you are doing

    If you can't raise the funds by using your skills - why would anyone want to lend you the money?

    It's a BAD idea to get family to lend you money for IM if you don't have a track record of making money.

    Losing all the money is nothing compared to ruining a relationship.

    Why do you need money to launch a product? Isn't that the beautiful part of marketing online? Of course there are marketing tactics where money is required, but they are not mandatory.

    Quit looking for excuses. Just do it.

      My thoughts exactly.

      Why do you need start up funds?

      You can get an information product up and selling for less than $100.

      If you need $100 you can just do some odd jobs...nearly anything to make that.

      Generally speaking beginners selling information products DON'T make many sales so it's really not wise to start investing money until you've developed some skill and you can do that without spending money.

      Kindest regards,
      Andrew Cavanagh

    You can raise funds without having much initial capital. I agree with the other Warriors here.

    Though to convince a relative that what you're doing will yield money - then produce money,
