Why you aren't making the BIG money and how you can start right now.

I want to take a moment to touch on something I think a lot of people fail to realize with internet marketing, and any business for that matter. I could easily write an ebook on the subject and make a good profit, but I really want to help out my fellow Warriors so I'm just going to talk about it here.

First I'm going to talk to everyone who still works a 9-5 job and always struggle to make money and feel like you can never get ahead. Then I'll speak to the IMers who make "good" money, but have never seen a 5 figure payday.

9-5ers, you feel like you can never get ahead. Guess what...if you continue to do what you do, you never will. What you are doing is what's considered "normal" by most people. You wake up in the morning to your boring job, work 8 or more hours, go home and watch some TV and do it all over again all while only making $14 an hour.

You are on the wrong side of the fence my friend. You can very easily change this scenario. The solution is simple. Flip the switch. The reason you continue to fail is because you are working for someone else. Because of this, you will always have a financial ceiling. You may get a .50 raise from time to time, but the point is you will always have a limit to how much you can make, and how much time you can spend away from your job.

Your mother and father always taught you "go to college and get a good job". This is an extremely backwards way of thinking. I don't want to say that it's a bad thing to have a job. We've all had one, and we need people like you to do the mundane things that make the world go round.

However, if you want true wealth, you are going in the wrong direction. Most people are mislead to think that money = wealth. It's not. You can have all the money in the world and not be wealthy. Here's the true meaning of real wealth. Money + Time + Family = Wealth. Complete and udder happiness.

So how do you get that? Easy. Stop being an employee and become an employer. When you are an employer, you control your time and your money. You get to decide what you want to do with your money before anyone else touches. There is no limit to how much money you can make, and you can use that money to leverage your time by outsourcing work to the employees. This will allow you to have time for your family. Money + Time + Family = Wealth.

Quit your job and start your own business. It's that simple. After that you will have no limit. Your ceiling will be as high as you make it.

Now, to those of you who have quit your job and have a business in the IM world. If you feel like you keep hitting a ceiling yourself, think about what you are doing. People around here go crazy talking about how you can make tons of money as an affiliate selling products. This is 100% true. You can make a LOT of money. But you can make the really BIG money. 6 figures big.

How do you do that? Simple. Again, you just have to flip the switch. Affiliates make bank selling products. But think about this. Think about how much the people are making who OWN the product that has tons of affiliates selling it. They are making the BIG money.

Several Warriors have become multi-millionaires simply by selling WSOs. They create a product and let their affiliates sell it for them. Even more, most of them don't even create the product. They outsource it and someone else does.

You can literally outsource anything. So you can outsource the entire creation of the product, WSO, graphics, sales copy, everything. Sit back in your chair, and make money for doing almost nothing. Now you do have to manage your outsource team, but that requires minimal effort compared to everything else.

Stop being an affiliate, and start employing affiliates.

Once you get that in your head...your life can change forever, so long as you put action into the thinking, you can truly be wealthy.

P.S. I do want to mention that I am speaking from experience. I'm not a multi-millionaire (yet) but I do have several WSOs myself and have done fairly well with them. So I'm not just blabbing, YOU can do it.

I truly hope that some of you have taken something away from this and can begin to turn your life around in a direction you really want it to be in.

Thanks for reading.

    I find it hard to believe that anyone has racked up millions in WSO sales.

    Most images of success on any forum are just a mirage accidentally cast by posters with a great forum writing style. People just assume such a person must have a lot of money and they never set the record straight (and it's debatable whether or not they should be subjected to having to do that). I think if you were to take the "top 10" posters on any forum and look at where they really stand, people would be very disappointed.

    On the other hand, there's always several posters that people look over that should probably be taken more seriously. In one case on this forum I saw someone that I knew was a very successful photographer get slammed by a number of Warriors for posting what they thought was terrible business advice. That was his one and only post he made here.

    Point is, you don't really know who's who in either direction.

      I have to agree and disagree with you. It's true that many make themselves out to be more than what they really are.

      However, I personally know 2 people, and are aware of more that have in fact surpassed the million dollar mark selling WSOs. And let me go on to say that it's true, they aren't making that much with ONLY selling WSOs. They are making those numbers because they also sell to their big fat lists, that came as a direct result of previous WSOs. But they are in fact selling the WSO product to their lists.

      If you want more proof, do a bit of research. I'm not going to name names here because certain people may not want their names mentioned. But you can look at stats in Warrior Plus and see the numbers add up. Also you can talk to other Warriors who've been here for years and they can point out who is the real deal, and who is not.

      My main point is that it has been done and it is very possible for anyone to do.

    Although I am new to this forum, from what I know about forums, what Dub said is not far from the truth. But on the other hand I'll advise any serious marketer to take JKennedy's advice and become a product creator instead of a forever-affiliate.

    The reason for my last statement is because for someone to be truly successful in this business, you must NEED your very own product. If you cannot create one yourself, you can outsource or you can tweak a PLR product, but most preferably, a PLR product with UNRESTRICTED RIGHTs so that you can freely do anything you want with it.
    Things you can do with these products ranges from article creation to a full quality ebook. And this can be achieved when you bring the top ideas in two or more of these PLR eBooks into one.

    You can take advantage of my one-time offer that is made up of products with UNRESTRICTED RIGHTs here.

    Kennedy.

    I think it is irresponsible to advise the general public or even the random reader in this forum to "Quit your job and start your own business". You make it sound so easy and simple, and it is neither easy nor simple to go from making zero dollars online to $1600+ reliably every month (enough to replace that $14 an hour job).

      I'll agree that it's not a "simple" process. I was more referring to the change of thought.

      And might I add , DON'T quit your job until you've actually started a business and make the money to cover your expenses. You can build a business while also working a 9-5. I did it. Most of the real IMers have.

      I do want mention however, that it is much easier than people think. In some aspects it's very difficult, particularly getting around the learning curve of things you are unfamiliar with. But think about it, you have to go through a learning curve, often a difficult one, everytime you get a new job.

      It's hard work to grow a business. But it's also hard work running yourself ragged with a secular job with low pay. What would you rather apply that time and effort to? Something that will never change and always keep you behind or something that will one day allow you to live a comfortable life with minimal effort.

      It certainly takes dedication. But the fact remains, you can do it, you really can. People don't seem to believe in themselves. Sometimes it takes a bold statement like "quit your job and start a business" to get you to realize your potential.

      One last thing. Even though it's not easy, there are several things you can do that are in fact easy and can make a lot of money very fast.

      For example. WSOs and product creation. It's pretty dang easy to write an ebook, find some bonus material and sell it to build a list. Offer 100% commission to affiliates and they will build a list for you very quickly. Your list is your business.

      You don't even have to do all the work. You can outsource some of it. As an example, I JV'd with a software developer for one of my first products. I created the WSO and graphics. We had a gross revenue of over $3k within 48 hours, over 100 affiliates and sold 1000+ copies before the week was over. That's the kind of stuff I'm talking about.
