IMers. Where do you find "get rich quickers" & fast income seekers?

Oh, this gets even better.

After seeing your other thread, YOU'RE asking people how to make fast
money online.

So, in other words, you don't know how to do this yourself, but you're
looking for people who ARE looking for the same thing to sell them YOUR
get rich quick product.

Folks, am I the ONLY one who sees the irony in this?

Yeah, gotta find that black book for sure.

This is why IMers get such a bad name because of crap like this.

Why do Internet Marketers scoff at the "get rich quick" questions when what most Internet Marketing copy sells is the idea of getting rich quick. The copywriters who are the most popular can sell the idea of getting rich quick while pretending not to offer this most desired state of mine.

The Internet is all about "instant gratification" instant access, instant wealth. We salivate when we read stories of individuals who went from flat broke to fabulously wealthy in 30 days using some secret, underground, "never before revealed, ultimate proven system that suddenly propelled them into the rich group of folks.

How many ebooks, reports, or case studies would you sell if we told the truth and revealed that you may need to spend 6 months learning, testing, studying, applying, reading, creating and listening before you make a dime online? Never saw that requirement in any product offerings online.

We all want to make that quick buck and whether you admit it or not,,,, so does everyone... that is the promise of Internet Marketing Guru's.

"In just 30 seconds time, the "combination" will finally click, everything will fall into place... and after weeks, months or even years of frustration, you'll be able to break away from all the lies and 'BS' by copying a series of online cash formulas that have been proven to pull in as much as $100,000 per month!"

These are the promises we make to the general public. Mind you, it does not promise you $100,000 per month... but how many of us read between the lines?

With all that said.... some of you are not desperate or have not been there when you tell desperate people to sign up for Clickbank to make instant cash.

Clickbank takes a while to deliver your check.... Get a Paypal Debit card so that when you make a sale, your money is available for you instantly. Get some free products, resell them, write a report, look for affiliate programs that will pay you instantly into your paypal account.

ARE YOU FOR REAL??

Thanks everyone for the replies.

For the last 7 years I have been selling music to DJs and then selling training to DJs so this post comes from a place of trying to understand the IM market.

All of the "gurus" say that people want quick and easy solutions. Look at Eben Pagan's last Guru Blueprint video about how to package up your content and make it sound quick and easy because thats what people want. 3 Steps or less.

Also consider the fact that the top biz-op products out sell the top IM products on Clickbank by 10 times.

Seth Godin (top marketing blog in the world) gave me some similar advice based on what he saw on my blog:

"The challenge with providing business training is that there are two types of people in the market:

1) The Do'ers - the people that take action, build businesses etc.

2) The opportunity seekers - people that want quick and easy money, money making systems etc.

Both have distinctly different mindsets. Both look for different things. Both hang out in different places.

The do'ers like you Sean don't buy as many courses as the opportunity seekers. Its important that you understand both types of people in the market."

I am in the first category. I always have been a "do'er". I get ideas and I take action and this is why I have been successful.

Opportunity seekers are a whole different animal to me. I don't understand them. I don't know what they are looking for. I don't know where they hang out. And I don't know why they buy into ****ty get rich quick scams.

That being said I want to understand these opportunity seekers since they make up such a large part of the market.

Yes my opt in box gives away a PDF teaching people to make money online (by setting up a blog and creating a product or finding clickbank offers). Yes my DJ business has made over $15,000 in a month and I make this clear.

I do this because a lot of other successful marketers use hooks like these. Marketers that we all look up to. Marketers that don't sell ****ty get rich quick products.

I also want to appeal to some of these "opportunity seekers" because they are the beginning of the entrepreneur life-cycle! A lot give up but some see the light and move on to start a real online business!

Weather you guys like it or not, "opportunity seekers" are a HUGE part of the IM space. Hundreds of thousands of people have been laid off this year. Hundreds of thousands of people have to work from home due to medical conditions. These people need income in a timely manner.

All of the content on my blog is geared to people starting a business or running a business online. Yet I still get lots of emails and questions about how to quickly make money online.

A huge NEED is being expressed here.

If I can help these people by giving them credible answers or solutions along with the entrepreneurs, then I will do just that. This is why I make posts like these.

It would be easy for me to direct these questions to the highest converting get rich quick product as an affiliate. Instead I am here seeking real credible information to pass along so that people don't get screwed and so my report on my opt-in has even more value.

If my question had been "Where do I find kids that want to learn how to DJ?" instead of "where do I find people that want to get rich quick?" would the replies from certain people in this thread have been different?

Exactly. I have never visited the WSO section of the forum.
