Ken, thanks for a touch of nostalgia.
I remember making a few sales of your Lotto ebook as an affiliate back in the day (t'was one of my early affiliate 'success' stories!) from a one-page minisite! All success Dr.Mani P.S. - I did some digging around in the Way Back Machine - and guess what I found?!

A few years ago, I had this guy contact me to do a JV - seemed sincere enough, and when I asked what he was bringing to the table he said he had SiteBuiltIt. After a few emails the result was we didn't JV - he had nothing to offer at all being brand new to IM and computers/Internet. Over time I mentored this guy, but he was always looking for something to give himself the "Big Score" and never finding it. I even stepped in at one point on a really bad deal he got involved in to get him his money back. Because of his limited computer and marketing skills/knowledge, I knew he wasn't going to make it unless he did EXACTLY what Chris said here: Quote:
Most importantly, he was only able to do so after finally giving up on the idea of the "Big Score" and being like the Gurus. Instead, he focuses on earning a little from here, a little from there and seeing how it adds up. The other thing he deserves a medal for is never giving up despite the barriers - and there were a lot of them. I have to wonder if I would have stuck it out for as long as he did - probably not. I think he's a case study in how a typical newbie can succeed on line and do so relatively easily, regardless of his or her education, experience and background. P.S. - I won't mention his name as he's not aware of me posting this. I'll leave it up to him as to whether or not he wants to come forward. | ||

Well said Chris. I was going to say the same thing except "Give an F---!!" But it means the same thing.

I can think of several niches that I'm involved in right now where I work closely with my competition, some of them have my partners for years. Though I understand what you're saying, I don't agree you "must eliminate the competition" and "MUST build something that is protected". Obviously that would help, but I don't think it's necessary for success. I rarely market to the IM niche and 99.999% of my income comes from regular niches like weight loss, dating, etc. and I've found it easier to work with my competitors and make myself stand out by having better products and customer service than they do. I leave with one of my favorite quotes: "Take care of your customers and the competition will take care of itself." -The Late Cory Rudl My 2 cents, Rod p.s. Allen, the new forum kicks some serious azz.... | |

Hi all,
This is a great dialogue. With 38 years of business building I have what might be a slightly different angle on this. At the end of the day, the single biggest mistake people make when considering a business is thet start by looking 'out there' for the answer. This NEVER actually works. This is why so many people struggle and strain to become successful in business. This is why so many people get to the end and just do not feel they are as successful as they intended to be. Success is not about finding niches, predicting market trends, and cutting big deals. I expect that some of you will argue this point, but success in business is NOT about hard work, sacrifice, struggle and frustration. Success in business, as in life, comes from the inside and is expressed outwardly in the way you ive your life and form relationships. If you are in business and are struggling, you need to re-evaluate your choice of businesses. If you business seems like hard work and sacrifice, you want to reconsider what you are up-to.
