Oh, by the way... anyone want to learn how to make money?

Just a little break from the pantomime that appears to be playing out in some threads on the front page.

Anyone want to make some money?

A very smart person reminded me a couple of days ago that the way to make money is to:

Stop thinking and get to [****ing] work!
(profanity added for extra emphasis, imagine you, as your own boss, telling yourself that.)

Yes, it's that simple.

You probably know more about how to make money than you give yourself credit for. Chances are, you're just looking for "the best way" and thinking too much, in effect, talking yourself out of taking action.

The best way that you can make (more) money is by doing something RIGHT NOW that will put money in your pocket.

Here's a few things you could probably do right now:

(1) Put up a short video review of a product you're promoting
(2) Mail your list
(3) Write an article
(4) Write a blog post
(5) Write the first few pages of a new ebook
(6) Rewrite 5 pages of a PLR ebook that's gathering dust on your hard drive.

... the list goes on.

There are an unlimited number of things that you can do right now, that will take you less than an hour, in order to increase your chances of making money online.

Waiting for the "best way" is not one of them.

Now, get to it.




Enjoy.
Karl.

    But, that instant gratification mindset should be thrown out the window...

    The reality is, yes, you need to pick a course and stick with it....but, you also have to anticipate alot of hard work....be prepared for it...it's inevitable...

    Karl,

    I really couldn't agree more. I think all of us (myself certainly included) can be guilty of wasting time procrastinating while there is an abundance of money to be made out there through marketing efforts which are free, relatively simple and available freely for anyone to utilise.

    For your personal marketing, what methods do you find the most effective?

    What do you think is the key to breaking out of "analysis paralysis" and into the realm of hyperactivity and success?

      The reality is...

      Every step you take towards your goal is one step closer.
      Every step you don't take towards your goal is one step further away.

      It's not about "a lot of hard work" it's more a case of "a lot of little bits of easy work"

      The more you get used to doing something, anything, on route to your goals, the more you become accustomed to it - you'll become more proficient at achieving what you set out to do, and making money will become even easier.

      For my line of work (graphics), all I have to do is ask for the business.

      I'll email my list and tell them that I've got a slot or two free at a discount.

      The key to "hyperactivity" and therefore "success" is to firstly become active. Once you're used to being active, do more (it's easier to speed up a moving object than it is to stop it)

        "It's not about "a lot of hard work" it's more a case of "a lot of little bits of easy work"

        I realize what you are saying here....

        It's a matter of perspective, sort of like the "Glass is half-full" vs. the "Glass is half-empty".....

        Yes, the thing that makes work "easy" SHOULD be the fact that you love and enjoy it....but, let's not fall into the trap of believing things are just naturally easy to do (that doesn't do us, or any lurkers who are learning, any justice)....

        Ask many people who post here, and I don't believe "alot of hard work" would be too far from the truth in an industry that is growing increasingly competitive with each day....

          Couldn't agree more...

          I'm blessed with a mindset, and therefore a positivity, which allows me to see things in that way. But, that mindset is a result of actions I've taken, common sense, and knowledge I've chosen to gather.

          The fact is, "hard work" is very daunting to most. But, in my experience, everything can be broken down into smaller chunks.

          The best way to eat an elephant, and all that.

          I think it was Randy Pausch who told the story of his young son, who said he couldn't clean his room, as it was too much hard work.

          So, Randy asked him: Can you make your bed?

          Yes (and he went off and did it)

          Randy asked him: Can you pick up your clothes?

          Yes (and he went off and did it)

          Finally: Can you pick up your toys?

          You get the idea.

            When leading/managing people, I would prefer this approach/analogy....

            People can get on overload very quickly, so I definitely think it would be best to do it this way, rather than say "Can you make your bed, pick up your clothes, and pick up your toys?".....People get lost in the 'words' and the perceived complexity of tasks, so sometimes they don't do things at all, or they do them to a subpar standard....

            I can see what you are saying though....

            Even in my own projects, I do break things off into smaller bite-sized chunks....but, that goes back to the importance of REALLY planning your time and resources....

            "Hard" could be more so in the sense that sometimes it just takes months of sweat equity invested in order to see a viable/profitable result. A project can be broken down into those easier bit sized chunks, but sometimes it just takes time to accomplish....

            That's where passion, patience, and determination come in to play....people REALLY learn that they love something when they can do it in the early stages when it may not be producing a huge monetary benefit....those who make out on top can carry this mentality onward no matter how successful they become...

      Indeed.

      The biggest reason most people don't make it is because they think that...

      Reading blogs, checking emails, reading and replying to forum posts, watching youtube videos, reading ebooks etc, basically, sitting in front of a computer screen... is productive.

      BIG TIP:

      Switch off, get a pen and paper and go sit for 2 hours at your dining room table - and WRITE the outline for your next product.

      I bet you'll get more done in those 2 hours than most people do in a week.

    So easy to get caught up doing unproductive things. I find myself doing it all the time. I find the best way to get things done is to set a timer for a period of time and commit to the task your working on. Otherwise it's email telephone, skype...Distractions are endless and so are all the new shiny objects thrown at us each day.

    Many people say work hard, and really this is not the answer, a coal worker or any general laborer can work hard all of their life but not end up with a nickel, this is not generalize any profession but to highlight hard work alone will not make you rich.

    In addition to that I found in my case when first starting on line i wanted to and did work hard, hour upon hour, but I needed to soon wise up that no matter how hard i was working nor even if i put in more hours again or even doubled them until i worked myself to a withering mess i was not going to make money.

    So it may be better if people adopt smart work over hard work, and by that slowly test out everything your doing, then instead of going about a daily ritual where like sheep the same ol same ol is bleated out each day it is very important to evaluate what works, why it works and if so increase efforts in those areas while reducing other activities that are not showing return and in addition add some new mix or methods to your daily routine, and never give up regardless of how hard it may seem.

    Over time you will then start to see some results, but working just hard everyday is not the best plan unless your lucky or well versed in the ways of the cyberlands.

      I have to agree. When I first started, I worked very hard posting FFA
      links and all this other crap that didn't do anything for me. I worked 14
      hours a day for 5 months and made $28.

      Working hard did NOTHING for me UNTIL I learned to work smart.

      That came from a lot of trial and error and some education from a couple
      of ebooks.

      No, sadly, working hard without the proper kind of work behind it is only
      going to leave you frustrated and broke.

    I'm confused...

    it appears that some people are equating: DO SOME WORK
    with: DO SOME HARD WORK

    I'm saying: DO SOME WORK
    Instead of: DO NO WORK

    If you do nothing, you will always be where you are now. If you do something, you won't.

    You can't analyse results until you perform the actions required to get those results. Analysing BEFORE you take those actions is just hypothesising.

      Which is why I tell people that instead of busting your head open trying
      to figure this crap out, which could take months, get yourself a mentor
      and have them lay out a plan for you so that at the very least, you're
      on the right track.

      THEN, work hard at it and you'll see results.

      I've done it the other way and it wasn't fun. If I had it to do over again,
      I would have taken 2K or 4K or whatever it would have cost me, hired
      somebody like Willie Crawford to train me and save myself the hell that
      I went through for 5 months.

        Becky, I understand what you, Karl and Ken are saying. I'm not disagreeing
        with the general statement that nothing gets done if you don't just sit down
        and do it.

        But I've been on the "beat my brains against a stone wall trying to figure
        it out on my own" side and it's not fun. Some people simply don't have
        the smarts to figure things out on their own and need help. I was one of
        them. Had I not run into 2 people who helped me and a couple of ebooks
        that at least gave me a road map, I would have still been posting FFA
        ads to MyMegaSubmitter, Adblaster and all the other crappy submitters
        out there and would have NEVER gotten anywhere.

        You can push against a stone wall with your bare hands all you want.

        That wall is still never going to budge until you get a bulldozer out and
        knock it down.

        In the world of IM, that bulldozer is knowledge.

          Hi Steven,

          And you're correct too.

          I guess the point is that folks need to find a balance that moves them forward. Just taking action without knowledge doesn't work. Just gaining knowledge without taking action doesn't work. So folks need to learn what the SMART action is, and take it.

          So yes, I agree with you too.

          Cheers,
          Becky

    It was Albert Einstein that said:

    Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
    The fact is, you realised what you were doing wasn't productive - and, you changed what you were doing - but, had you not taken the first steps and done something, and worked at it, you'd still be at square one.

    Common sense prevails when it comes to making money...

    If what you're doing doesn't make you money, try doing things slightly different, don't necessarily do something altogether different.

      Sometimes people study, go to forums, read ebooks, etc because they want to find that golden nugget of information that will launch their business into the stratosphere.

      But what they fail to realize is more often than not that knowledge comes from doing. Are there little gems that you can get from others? Sure, but you need to know how they fit, if at all, into the way your business operates.

      Sometimes people try to over complicate things. Internet marketing surely can't be this simple. It feels good being in the "know". Having a "strong grasp" of many complex internet marketing strategies but what isn't said is those complex strategies usually don't work and if they do only in very narrow circumstances. Keep it simple and soon you'll be able to realize what will work for you and what won't.

      Just my .02

        Excellent reply...

        You just reminded me of an analogy...

        When you learn to drive, you don't take a course in mechanics. You learn how to work the pedals, clutch, gears, learn the rules of the road.

        You then practice, in the context of what you've learned.

        What you don't do, is jump in the car and drive at 70mph on the motorway straight away. You learn by doing the basics first, and then building upon them.

        The same is true in business.

    Karl, you forgot to mention "drink coffee"....how else do you think I can crank out a gizzillion words of content and sales copy in such a short time frame?

    RoD

    p.s. In all seriousness, coffee has nothing to do with, Dragon Naturally Speaking is my not-so-secret content-generating weapon!

    Thanks for the info.
    I see this question up here frequently along with the same answers. Well, I found an article I thought I'd share which gives some good info about how much you'd have to write if you wanted to make money by blogging alone (not counting advertising, etc.)

    I found it interesting. It's a lot of writing to make a good living and you have to be able to sell your posts.

    How many people try to sell their posts? How many think it's feasible to make a living this way? How many think they could do it?

    Here's the link to the article with the info from Blog Herald:     tinyurl.com/5wfed3

    Here's another way to think about it...

    What have I done today which will make me money?

    You might want to print that out and stick it on your bathroom/bedroom mirror.

      Or, "Is what I am doing right this minute going to help me make money, or am I avoiding doing the important stuff?" And maybe more importantly..."WHY do I avoid doing the important stuff?"

      (Or on a sticky note attached to your monitor)

      Then, after you're done with that question you can always ask yourself...

      What else can I do to make money?

      another one:


      I have done so much today
      but where is the &*/!%$* money?

      Because you need a plan and do the right things --> EFFECTIVENESS! Not waste time doing things where its questionable/uncertain there is a ROI.

    Oh yeah, I too quite agree with you Karl.

    Most online marketers are looking for the "best" way or solution to make a
    quick buck, and fail to implement the knowledge they already probably have!

    Slow and steady wins the race.. So start acting now, and stop waiting and thinking for so long!

    Best success!

    If you REALLY want to make money online (or anywhere), you can't be timid by any means....doing IM usually means networking and interacting....refine and develop your social skills....be patient and courteous and professional to others, and more often times than not, others will return the same to you...

    I probably should read this post a few times a day, I get off task and distracted not only by this forum but plenty of other stuff as well. I try to write down goals for the day and make sure I get them done before I do anything else.

    Really? Where?

    I'd have thought that the first thing you did when you came to this thread was look at the number of view, and then come to the conclusion that it would be a good one to spam.

    So I welcome those interested to visit my personal site for more information and I expect to receive some "Thank You's" for this post.
    Thanks... for the laugh, but, your post has been reported as spam
