I think right now is the perfect time for many of us to take a step back and look at our online businesses from the outside. I've been reading the threads about the WSO forum changing (rule #7!) and it's been interesting to see what some people have concerns about. The one that stuck out to me is the overwhelming amount of "Make $xxx in 2 weeks" WSO's that have big claims, a small price tag, and about 1% actionable content.
If you want to make real money online, don't build a list...

I think right now is the perfect time for many of us to take a step back and look at our online businesses from the outside. I've been reading the threads about the WSO forum changing (rule #7!) and it's been interesting to see what some people have concerns about.
The one that stuck out to me is the overwhelming amount of "Make $xxx in 2 weeks" WSO's that have big claims, a small price tag, and about 1% actionable content.
I think ultimately it comes down to people wanting to "get rich quick" by building a list through the warrior forum and making some quick one-off sales. The only problem with this is a huge email list is worthless if you don't deliver value.
I was just recently listening to an audio from Rob Toth and he brought up a very important concept. Your goal should NOT be to build a list, your goal should be to build an audience.
So instead of releasing that $7 product that promises big but delivers little, and just hope that their customers don't ask for a refund, we need to start delivering BIG on every promise and build an audience of people who like what we have to say, not who merely entered a name in a box and are now disappointed.
This is just something I take very seriously in my business and while I do screw up at times, I'm working to build an audience that likes to hear what I say, rather than a list of names who don't know (or like) me. Whether it's working or not, we'll have to see .
Thinking long-term can be a very hard thing to do, especially in our instant-gratification culture. But delivering value and committing to long term goals is the only way to make real money in this business.
