Just resigned from my job....

35 replies
Hey Warriors,

To cut a long story short, I just finished up my "Day Job" as a Financial Planner. While I wish I could say it was because I was able to go fulltime in IM, its not. I am making money selling my own products, and affiliate products in a niche market. But Things are still very tough in the financial market, hence why I left.

But anyways... It now means I have plenty of time up my sleeves. So I thought I would ask that if anyone is new to IM and would like FREE one-on-one mentoring via skype on the basics of IM such as setting up a website in wordpress, creating squeeze pages, outsourcing etc... I would love to help.

I've setup a dozen niche websites, and at one stage was getting 1,000 visitors per day to my main site (well that was until the penguin update) and was using the traffic to grow my list.

Basically I want to get better at teaching and coaching people so this would be a win-win, plus the good karma should help too .

Just send me a PM if would like some advice/coaching, and we can arrange a short 15 mins or so one-on-one on skype.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Your friend in Australia

    Great job on wanting to help people out, just make sure your financially set with your product sales etc before you spend time helping others out.

    If you have money saved and you have enough income to get you by, ignore me.

    All the best for your future and I hope you can double what you made at your job.

    Hi

    You could do well with a financial planning and advice blog/site and use that to build a list of prospective clients with the standard "free" ebook opt-in.

    Your background would give you credibility and allow you to add your personal voice to your products.

    There are lots of financial CPA and affiliate offers.

    Also, as you know, finance companies will pay a pretty penny for targeted leads.

    You could do a great offline marketing business helping business with Internet and Social Marketing while giving them and assurance of a strong background in finances.

      I read that as

      but you meant

      "Where in Australia are you?"

    Congratulations my friend! I made the leap from hedge fund trader to full time IM business owner and am now living the dream while breaking that figure we all initially dream about on my own schedule! You will be proud you made this choice. If you need words of wisdom or advice let me know.

    Good for you...

    Why not setup a coaching program. To get people to see the value you have to offer why not setup a Challenge for yourself each month.

    For example start with a "30 videos in 30 days" challenge. Write down 30 big questions from your market and then create a video of you answering each question... one per video. Go into detail and give a solid answer.

    Then do another challenge next month like writing 25 articles in 30 days for syndication.

    The whole ideal is to do these challenges on top of your normal IM work load. Taking the time to do this will really help brand yourself in your chosen niche and boost your traffic and subscribers.

    Will also help with your new coaching program sales if you decide to do that

        Thats a great idea. I have thought of a similar idea in the past but was worried of a conflict of interest. But I guess I don't have to worry about that now...lol

        4 minutes late...far out!!

        I bet quitting the next day would have felt outstanding.

        Didn't received a PM from you yet, just thought I would let you know.

          Nope, none. Not in terms of Internet marketing. I just knew that If I didnt just "do it", that Id still be sitting there in 10 years, waiting for the "right time."

            Hey man, great job. I recently put in notice at my job, and nope, NOT really prepared. I think a sink or swim position like this will do me a lot of good though. If we want it bad enough, nothing can hold us back. Now it's time to see just how bad we really want it. Good luck to EVERYBODY trying to make the change. It really is achievable.

      Well done Paul, it is certainly better working for yourself than others.

      I also help people in IM and it is very rewarding, especially when you help someone quit their main job for a much better style of living.

    So are you saying that you "quit" your job? If so, I don't know it if that was the wisest choice. Unless of course you're already making a full-time income off the internet. It's tough to make money online if you don't have the right ideas. There are many smart people who have failed miserably at it.

    Looks like you are doing well..

    You have left your job because of the economic crisis and your site was hit by penguin, that means you have double trouble to deal with yet you have the time to help others.

    You must be genius,
