Do you have any good information for someone starting off

This is basically Trevor Sommerville's Website Flopping strategy, and while I'm not doing it myself (it doesn't match my temperament, as mentioned earlier - it's very methodical and focused, and I'm really not much of either), it's working very well for many other people.

I have no affiliation with Trevor and no financial interest in his site. He started this system on the Warrior Forum last year as a thread in the main forum, which I believe turned into a report in the War Room (it was before I was a member), then into a WSO. I've watched the evolution of his strategy with great interest, and was one of his earlier customers. I'm still on his list.

EDIT: Just had a look at his sales page, and noticed that he's got my review prominently featured in his sales copy... but I honestly didn't know that when I posted the link. Apparently he values my opinion.

Mine too. That, and being methodical. It's very easy for me to say "just do this every week," but I never seem to be able to do that myself. Most of the time I'm very, very good at explaining why it wasn't my fault.

The problem most people have in this business isn't figuring out what to do, but sitting down and doing it. I've known for many months now that what I need to do is release smaller products faster, but I am a stubborn pigheaded fool who keeps trying to make bigger products with higher prices anyway.

And to a large extent, this is because I like making big products. One of my goals for this year was the big physical product full of manuals and DVDs and workbooks that gets shipped to the customer's door and goes THUD on the porch... but I've now realised that isn't really going to get me where I want to go.

Similarly, I wanted a million views on a video and ten thousand people on my list... but, again, those aren't going to get me where I'm headed. And while I'd still like to do all of them, what I really need to concentrate on is trimming down my product cycle so I can release more products faster.

Which I haven't done yet, because I just haven't bothered. Nobody to blame but me. Which is kind of the drawback when you work for yourself... your boss is still usually an idiot.

For someone starting out, check the type of business model you want to use to make money.

Here are some examples of business models which you can choose:

Once you have your goal, work at it step by step.

If there is anything you don't understand, then ask in this forum or look it up online.

Keep on working on your business model until you've completed it.

The key here is not to be distracted from other things such as new product launches.

When you've finished setting up your business model, spend the rest of your time marketing the hell out of it.

However, use one marketing strategy at a time. Move onto the next marketing method only when you've made a decent effort with the first.

The biggest mistake newbies make is reading too much info. and not taking action. If you work towards a business model right at the start, you'll do better than 99% of the newbies.
