To Create Your Own Ideas Is Bliss

So how many times have you heard the expressions:
"Don't just read off the paper"
"Start playing the game your own way"
"Make your own rules"
"It's your own playground"

But what does that all mean to us as internet marketers?


Stop using the methods that you find from some guru on the internet in the heavy blatant heap they appear in. More often than not, the only reason the "guru" is sharing his secrets to you is because the method has lost it's effectiveness or/and is over saturated so the income potential is minimum, and it's just his way to strangle that extra bit of cash out of you before it really dies down.


What am I getting at here?


The methods you find online that are being shared by the so called "underground" masterminds are your raw materials.


Remember: "It's your own playground"


So always twist and shake them out as much as you possibly can and work on new ways to twist up your current unique methods. It's an ever changing world out there, and your methods are no exception if you want to be a player in the field.


To make it easier, lay your methods out in a diagram where you see all your techniques broken down and laid down in front of you. Everything from whitehat, greyhat to blackhat - every little piece connected to another like a chain, everything you know. Then you can use this to substitute or switch the various pieces of your schema in order to create new systems that you can test out.


And remember, you don't become a CEO overnight, so start your process manually (like at the bottom of the food chain, roll in the dirt and sweat - see how the method performs) and then go semi-automatic and start climbing up the ranks. In other words, before you jump into something hoping to make thousands, make sure you can make tens or hundreds first. You need to know how your process runs inside and out before you can start automating steps.


Don't forget to revisit some long "dead" money making opportunities. Because just like any raw material they will eventually decay back to full strength (Ex. squidoo)


And last but not least, be very VERY smart when playing on the IM field. Sometimes the difference in $1,000 and $10,000 for us is just a simple case of common sense which you can miss if you don't think on your feet.

Just a post I made on my blog, but I thought that this would help some guys to start realizing that getting spoon fed all the time is not gonna drive you to riches
