Way to keep it simple!

The best thing to do, and I agree with what you said, is to keep all of your methods as simple as you can.

More 'simple' transactions = easier money

I just loved the way you wrote your post gjabiz and would confess my secret word is "thank you". I find that helps me get plenty of transactions with people who keep coming back for more of the same - repeat transactions if you will.

But I just loved the thought of you at the bottom of the guru mountain selling your maps and guides - really precious and put a smile on my face

So thank you
Ellen

Money is ONE means of exchanging value. You in this example is the general you, not the specific YOU as the replyer to OP.

To have a TRANSACTION, there does need to be an EXCHANGE of VALUE.

Simple example. Neighbor is willing to pay 100 bux to have her windows washed OR she will give you an almost new TOTAL GYM her son left in her house and is in the way.

IF you need money, you'll take the $$$

But, if you want a Total Gym OR if you want to sell it on craigslist or ebay for maybe 200 or even 300 dollars, you may take the gym.

This goes to PERCEIVED value. Market value says a new Total Gym could cost several hundred dollars, a used one on eBay or craigslist may sell for a couple of hundred or less, and this is DEMAND value.

There is a whole sub-culture (of which I am involved in) which uses BARTER for TRANSACTIONS, it doesn't use MONEY.

Those familar with the Kyle McDonald "one red paper clip" story (google if not) know that things can be traded or EXCHANGED as well as services, promises or products.

So, you don't need something people want to buy or spend money on...you just need to have something people WANT. And from there, you can create your own TRANSACTIONS.

As for this whole thread being "obvious"... well, my reply is you haven't THOUGHT enough about what a TRANSACTION is and how they take place. It is not as obvious as you may think, or else more people would be doing it and there would be a lot less frustration and failure around here.

IF most WARRIORS began with the TRANSACTION as the foundation of their money making efforts, they would readily see the faults, problems and troubles so many product launches or WSOs have which are inherent in trying to scale things up or to build a sustainable business.

So many want to write an ebook, for example and some HAVE...but you still need to know how to sell it, including the technical parts, like uploading, taking payments, delivery, customer support, etc.

But if you build your business on a well thought TRANSACTION process, where you know your customer's wants and needs and what they may be willing to exchange instead of money to get what you have to offer...then you can begin to build something that lasts for decades.

Just some food for thought...

PS. And regarding old Spot, my bulldog, I now feed him plant food. He's been pushing up daisies for many a year now...HA!

Well sure you do. I always thought that the reason I have had some success online had to do with my philosophy or point of view.

The OP was just expressing his point of view of how to make money online or off. I have in effect used this "transactions" idea to grow my directory business over the last two years. I did this by buying or creating a new directory every few months. More transactions. Now I plan on offering a press release creation & distribution service, and offer it to my directory clients. More transactions.

Is not email a part of Internet Marketing?

ONE email to the right prospect could be worth tens of thousands of dollars, so, if you think that ONE email is traffic, then, yea I agree...

otherwise, traffic has nothing to do with TRANSACTIONS. Traffic is one of those speedbumps for people who don't see the much bigger picture and as often as not get stuck in "you must do this" type thinking. You only need traffic, IF your Transaction depends on traffic...not my cup of tea, thank you very much

it doesn't make you any money...only keeps you alive (which is a good thing, but irrelevant to the OP).

A Transaction is an exchange of value between two entities. Oxygen is a personal thing.

So, although it is a force for sustaining life, again, unless you are selling it as a product or something related to it...it isn't the "secret" word that gives you money (if that is what you want) any time you want it.

My 17 year old SECRET WORD guaranteed to bring you money whenever you want it...

I'm very confused by your thread title.

You say you've been making transactions for 40 years so why is this a 17 year old secret word? And why do you say "transactions" is a secret word?

Also, why is it guaranteed to bring you money whenever you want?

I really don't get it :confused:

Also, why is it guaranteed to bring you money whenever you want?

I really don't get it :confused:

It took me 23 years to figure out and understand how important the concept of a TRANSACTION was to my business efforts.

It is as much a secret word as any secret word...such as abrakadabra used by magicians.

It's one of those out in the open "secrets" people trip over, much like a 100 dollar bill laying on the ground which people jump over to pick up two shiny pennies.

I'm sorry to have caused you so much confusion.

Transactions is a secret word that has many layers to it, and when you are able to see the work in all it's implicatations and to take whatever you can infer from it...then it reveals it's magic to you. Understanding what a transaction is, is only the beginning, then going throught the process BEFORE you even initiate the "real" transaction can show you the pitfalls and the stumbling blocks of so many money making programs.

It is guaranteed to bring you money any time you want IF you set up your transaction to do so.

One of my students just bought and sold an alto sax. He went into the transactions with the idea of making money. He bought for 60 and sold for 120, doubled his money in a few days (could have done it faster, but he fiddled farted around against my advice).

So, if you want money now, today...then you would simply bring about a transaction, such as I illustrated in the OP, sell your TV on the front porch, or on eBay, craigslist or wherever.

If you want to make money with your eBook (for example) create a promotion and put the promotion in front of the right people (ones who may be searching for such a product) and have the right offer in place and make a transaction.

Anytime you want money, make a transaction.

The kind you make is entirely up to you. Is it really magical? Only if you also believe in unicorns and pots of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Again, my aplogies for causing so much confusion in your life.

Sure, selling tools to miners is a good idea. Then, once the gold is out of the ground, it can be turned into all kinds of useful things, including trinkets of jewelry even.

A TRANSACTION involves an exchange.

The exchange is an AGREED upon exchange of value.

Value can be money, although it doesn't have to be.

To determine how much money one wants to make, they could begin with understanding what is involved in their transaction, and from this building block, they can then construct a toll position where they get paid whenever someone wants what they have.

It's NOT a take on selling shovels to miners, it's a whole way of looking at what a person is doing to make money...and it eliminates much frustration and saves a lot of time for those who care to delve deeper into the subject.

See? Simple stuff. Been pretty much saying the same thing for the last 17 years (actually even longer off line).

Doesn't much matter HOW. Hows comes and goes

Face to face. Simple, easy, swee!, Put your TV on porch with a FOR SALE sign on it, wait for someone to stop and give you money for it. OH? You live in the country? ebay, craigslist, local classified ads will help you sell the TV.

Want to make a little money? Make a few low cost TRANSACTIONS.

Want to make a LOT of money? Make a lot of higher cost TRANSACTIONS.

Want to make a lifetime income? Make the same TRANSACTIONS over and over decade after decade.

See? How simple can it be.

So, YOU, Guru at the top of the mountain who charges 2000 bux for your magical "method"...which may or may not work for an extended period of time...no thanks, I'm too lazy to climb that mountain (and way to cheap)...

OR YOU Educated Guru, with more smarts than all of us combined...no thanks, I'm too dumb for that, after all, I'm just a simple minded guy. Glad you got your Ph.D. I've got a "certificate of authenticity" hanging on my wall...

All I know is, over the last 40 years, I've made hundreds and even thousands of TRANSACTIONS. Online and off.

Face to face. Remote Direct Methods including TV, Radio, Newspapers, Magazines, Newsletters and maybe even telepathically (hey, they called me out of the blue wanting to buy, what else could it be?)...

Sell your TV, make a few bux.

Sell thousands of TVs (Sony) make bigger bux.

Be a drug using whoremonging entertainer ala Charlie Sheen and get paid millions...the TRANSACTION being his contract.

It ain't rocket surgery, brain science or even difficult to understand (how could it be because even a simpleton like me gets it)...

YOU want to make more money? MAKE more TRANSACTIONS.

Really, the HOW and the details are all within your control, but knowing WHAT you want to do is Square One of making money.

Although, I am looking forward to secret words that have more power than the one I've been using for the past 40 years to feed my bulldog.

Exactly, by focusing on the root cause that will bring you additional money (transactions) it tends to strip away all the unnecessary and oftentimes imaginary barriers, hurdles and complications that stand in the way of increasing your revenue (via more transactions).
