I Don't Wanna Be An IM Guru.

sharpturn · 10-16-2009, 02:12 AM

Warriors,

I have another newbie question for you.
So far, in the past few months since I've started, I am really enjoying this IM business...more than any other job I have had.

It's early days yet but eventually, in time, I would like to be earning around $5000 a month. My question is do I have to end up being a "mini" IM guru in order to bring in this kind of income?

I ask this because I read success stories and many of them are people who started from nothing and now are making a ton of cash by teaching others their techniques.

I don't really want to be known...I just want to earn a very good living in a job I enjoy.

Does anyone have any views on this?

Thanks,

Andy

You could be like Mr.X:
Day Job Killer... its about to get interesting...

And what's wrong with being known. And don't worry, I don't think the paparazzi cares what Mark Joyner does.

There are several top earners on this very forum that you've never heard of. I don't know their names either. They quietly make 20K/mo or more and never say a word.

Don't feel that you need to be famous in order to make money.

Hi,

No need for me to say more, I second what Emily said.

Hey Andy what's up!

To answer your question is NO you don't have to be known or even an IM guru. Most of the gurus started out as affiliates then creating their own products in other niches.

For me I hired a mentor who was awesome & realized I didn't like writing on my own personal blog in the IM realm as I'm not killing it online yet. I always wanted to be a speaker of sorts but my time is not here... yet.

I am working in a few other niches but once I learn to make some consistent and nice coin doing it I will be glad to help others.

The point I'm at now is I know more than most newbies and am glad to help them out when I can.

Don't worry about it now, sort it out later. Just go out & make a killing in other niches and if you decide you want to "reveal yourself" later on when you know what to do to kill it while helping others you always can.

While I can't help someone make a million dollars in a year I can help them set up their blog which is a big step for most and point them in a direction. It's really fulfilling to help others even if you're just a couple steps ahead of them.

So no you don't have to be known & this is kind of an underground but close knit community. You don't see TMZ looking for Frank Kern or John Reese, do you?

You can make $5k a month easy without any kind of personality marketing, don't worry.

Just offer a good service or product, that will speak volumes for your business.

Thanks y'all

My personal record is 16k in one month and I do not market myself as a guru in any way, shape or form. Work hard and you will find 5k per month is not hugely difficult to make.

JayXtreme · 10-16-2009, 05:27 AM

Nope... you don't HAVE to become "popular".... you can do six figures a month and not even raise your head..

It's being done each and every day right in front of you, and you never see it

Just get your head down, work smart and act on the good strategies you have planned!

Essential additives for this recipe are:

Short term goals

Medium term goals

Long term goals

Each one builds into the next and can be tweaked/expanded as necessary as your business moves forward

Peace

Jay

I need to meet all of them.

You'll do a lot better if you concentrate on making money and not on recruiting fans.

Nope, for as little as constant $5000 per month you don't have to be any guru and you can do many things wrong etc. But you do need to put in the work.
