Stompernet Special ?

Yes and no.

Yes - I think you need a business, but I always say that.

I've been able to make money using nothing but some of the tools these guys provide (that are available outside their membership but cost more than the membership does), so you certainly can make money whatever, but I always think that people should create a business to use tools on rather than hope the tools create a business for them.

No - you don't need to outsource.

Of course outsourcing makes sense in some way for most people but it's in no way necessary. It's easy to make great money even if you do everything yourself and use tools to help you.

An example of what I'm talking about is the Traffic Geyser tool that's available outside the Stompernet group and also to Stomper members. You could use that and animoto to create a business helping offline businesses use video to get more customers. I've done this so I'm talking from experience, and I've met (in person) other people who have done similar.

You could outsource that for sure but the tool means you can do things that with a little positioning and creativity have huge value to other people.

Anyway - you get the message. Like most things, it's not necessary to do anything more than use your brain and a couple of tools to make money - outsourcing is optional and makes a different amount of sense depending on your business model.

There's also the Stompernet events and meetups. You can meet up with other Stomper members even if you're not a paying member yourself. That way you can help and learn from other marketers.
