Stepping it up to the big leagues...

You won't find this talked about on the Warrior Forum because it's something that can't really be explained easily since it all varies from business to business...

Anyway, first things first:

You don't make it to the big leagues by:

  • Writing articles as a free lancer for $5 (or writing articles in general unless you can command and receive $1 per word). I mean, let's face it, there's only so much time in the day you can write articles.
  • Creating a bunch of affiliate sites in hordes of niches (a good way to make money, but lacking in one crucial area).
  • Spending your time trying to figure out the latest and greatest software.
  • Designing websites.
  • Building back links.
You make it to the big leagues by creating leverage and using it as a tool.

The only difference between someone who makes $100,000/m online and someone who makes $1,000/m is not really what they know, but what assets they have in place to use as tools to push their business.

Hell, I'm willing to bet a lot of people here know way more about marketing than many of the big dogs, yet they aren't making anywhere near as much (if anything at all)...

Which again, all comes down to leverage (and of course a good helping of action taking).

Here's how you make it to the big leagues using some of the same above examples, but with leverage in mind:

  • Build a list of people willing to pay for article writing and leverage that list to create a writing service and hiring outsourcing to do it for you. You can now leverage that business so that your time isn't spent writing articles, but finding new clients to work with - which simultaneously builds wealth and leverage.
  • Create your own product and build your niche affiliate sites around that same niche. Leverage those affiliate sites to drive traffic to certain affiliate offers in your niche. Use the good-will you generate with your affiliate as leverage to get new people to buy your own product.
All it takes is a bit of a mindset shift and a long term goal. Instead of thinking about "How can I get to $3,000/m online... think more like "how can I get to $3,000/m online while creating something that I can leverage in the future".

Brand & Testimonials. Mailing List. Relationships <- all things you can use as leverage in the future.

It of course, goes way way way way wayyyyyy beyond that, but it's a start.

If you want to reach 7 figures a year with your business (I'll be there by the end of the summer most likely), think leverage.

So let me ask you, what are you doing to create leverage in your business, and how are you using it as a tool? Looking forward to seeing the responses

  • Part of what you're saying that most will miss is the idea of propping up and encouraging other sites around your own. By encouraging others to have sites they will gravitate towards you and increase your influence.

    This may be a crazy notion.

    But as I see it, another way to leverage your existing equity (such as an email list) is to recommend products that you have actually personally reviewed in a thorough manner. That way you are leveraging your existing list to increase trust with your subscribers. And genuinely helping people in the process.

    The opposite would of course be to recommend crappy launches that may tend to sell better than other, high quality products in a given niche - that way you'd leverage your list to enhance relationships with certain gurus in a particular niche, with the ultimate goal of increasing your subscriber base and reach a certain status and income level - at the expense of your subscribers and their trust of course.

    Which one would you recommend, Dan?

      You'll have to decide then when you get around to making your list. You'll find that once your list gets big enough people will complain when you promote products regardless of how great they are. I don't decide on what product to promote based on EPCs, but how their product fits with my list and whether or not they are a promotional partner with me.

      What else?

    • Good idea Daniel, however you are still competing against everyone else who is doing the same thing.

    Today's 'Big Leagues' will look much different in a couple of years.
    Another way to create massive leverage is:

    1) Think ahead, embrace up-and-coming, next-generation ideas and concepts.
    2) Focus on truly original projects, even if most people consider you "crazy".
    3) Position yourself (as described above) and enjoy watching the World come your way at the right time.

    For me, after 2 years in the wilderness of free reports/software/etc All from opting in to so many 'gurus' I took the plunge & started investing in my success. No $$$ as yet, but fully understand the concept of 'leverage'. Start small, (or not), and build on the strong foundations you generate with your clients, customers, and social network, increasing and constantly giving value. It's great to read this thread because in the words are pure gold. Pure Gold.
    Thanks for putting this out there.

    Wow a great piece of advice. That is why I kind of gave up doing the cheap labor types of things and started to build a business.
