If You Have To Ask How Much Work Is Involved...It's Not For You
I question I get asked occasionally (thank goodness it's not often or I'd lose
all faith in people) is "How much work is this system of yours?"
This is kind of like a guy going to look at a Yacht and asking the person
selling it how much it is. If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it.
There are people out there who ask this question (how much work it is)
because they simply don't want to work...period. They're expecting the
process to be a simple "push a button" or maybe put up a blog and write
an article and make a gazillion dollars.
The standard answer I give people who ask this question is simple.
"I think you will find it is too much work for you and you'll get frustrated
and disgusted and ultimately ask for a refund. Therefore, I suggest you
pass on it."
You may not agree with my way of handling it (hey, it's my business and
I can handle it as I want) but I have found through 6 years of dealing
with lazy marketers that 9 times out of 10, that is exactly what happens.
They find it's too much work and ask for a refund.
This way, I save both of us a lot of trouble.
Are there exceptions? Sure, there is always that person who asks
because they have a full time job and can only put in so many hours in
their day. However, those people usually mention this when writing and
in their case, I'll tell them how many hours they should put in each day.
They can then decide if it's for them. But the person who just asks "how
much work is involved" they're usually just lazy.
I'm sorry if I am sounding like I am pigeon holing people but again, this
comes from 6 years of doing this and the track record of these sales is
abysmal to say the least.
But there is a bigger point to this whole rant and I'm going to make it now.
Please take these words to heart because if you are struggling, they may
provide some insight as to why.
If you find yourself as one of these people who asks "How much work is
involved" you need to look inside yourself and ask yourself why you're
asking this question.
Is it because you do have a full time job and can only put in so many hours
each day?
Or is it because you're looking for the "quick fix?"
I do have compassion for those who have other obligations.
I have no compassion for those who are looking to push a button. And it
that's you, maybe, just maybe, that's the reason why you're still trying
to figure out why you're only make $14 a month through Adsense.
Rant over.
