Should I Start Teaching MMO?

That's undoubtedly a good and valid reason for a major shift in emphasis.

For me, it would be absolutely the last possible reason to be thinking about any MMO niches, in which I'd expect most (admittedly not all) of those problems to be considerably worse. It would be one of the markets whose niches I'd be particularly anxious to avoid.

Just about getting by, supporting yourself living in the London area, will probably put you - in income terms - in the top 1% of people "teaching MMO" (and maybe even in the top 0.5% of them), so I wouldn't worry at all about whether it's cool from the perspective of "earning enough for it to be acceptable". It is. That isn't the problem at all. Just my perspective, Snowy.

There are people "teaching" others how to make money online who themselves don't even make enough to cover expenses.
So, i don't think you would have a problem seeing that you make enough to live in one of the most expensive cities on the planet...

PS! You have my permission...

This is exactly the reason why I, and many others here always advise to get involved in a niche where you have passion, knowledge, or both.

How does London compare to Sydney? Because it's fricken ridiculously expensive here.

If you are already making money online in another niche, then I would say that at least qualifies you to teach people how you did that and what methods you used. As long as you are teaching people about things you actually know work, and can provide them value, I don't see why you shouldn't go for it.

This is your major snag. And it's not so much the niche as it is in your thinking. In the past I was very easy to notice the downside of many things. And your dominant thinking will dictate your results to a very large degree. In other words, you get what you expect. The niche might have some influence on your experiences but until you change your outlook you're going to find skeptical, poor people in all niches.

It was tough for me to get past this but I made a conscious effort to look for the good in all situations. It's all about awareness. If I noticed I was getting internally (or outwardly) bitchy about something I immediately changed my thinking. Eventually I eliminated thinking related to certain stuff and managed to change and see some very encouraging results. I still become cranky about some things but, like before, I just use my will to change it immediately. It's a work in progress but much easier now with the trend I've managed to create. Now I see far more bridges than walls.

As for the niche, MMO is fine if you enjoy it. If I still have ghosts of the downside floating around they're very likely to be related to MMO. MMO is the gateway, the entry level for many, many people. And they come to the game with lots of weird ideas about how things work. The upside is that there is lots of money to be made in MMO. Some will say it's easy money but I feel you'll definitely earn it dealing with the many myths people buy into. You'll be constantly working to steer people away from quick hit (often gray or black hat) tactics to building a sustainable business. I say go for it. Good luck.

If you have a successful gameplan why don't you get people in the area that need a job and have them do what you do and pay them to do it. Say you are making 30k / year. You can then give them the plan and pay them 20k / year. Each person you have doing this makes you 10k/year.

Well, most of the buyers in the IM niche are looking to support themselves by making money online, and I’m sure the fact that you are already doing that, especially in London (!) is a big plus point on your side.

My advice: Don’t over hype anything, and don’t make any claims you can’t follow up on, and you’d be just fine. Look at the WSO sellers in this forum. They’re making a ton of money by selling measly $5 reports, and I’m sure a good portion of them are lying about a lot of things, including the workability of their method, so customers would welcome a honest seller who really has done what he’s teaching.

You can do it. Just start doing it. Don't let your passion down because of the not support comment here.

You can teach in MMO if you are making a consistent income. Just be honest in your marketing though. Personally I would probably look for someone to teach me who was doing better than just paying the bills just because I would have much higher hopes. But that's just me.

The thinking is we very rarely are able to replicate exactly the success of the person teaching us. So if I am to be coached by someone who is only just paying the bills and supporting their lifestyle, if I was to only replicate some of your success then it leaves me short of being able to support my own lifestyle.

On the other hand if I get taught by someone who is making multiple 6 figures per year and I only replicate a proportion of that success then I will still be doing very well.

This is really simple... there are very few arenas where teachers are presumed to be better than students...

The boxing coach would be slaughtered by most of his students.

The College physics teacher couldn't get a job as a researcher - which his students could easily accomplish.

And so on...

The only real question is - do you have knowledge that others don't have - that they want?

Or that you can convince them that they want?

Certainly it's easier to sell products in the MMO niche if you can honestly point to great results... but it's not a necessity. I don't expect someone that I learn from to be doing better than I intend to do - I expect them to know something that they can help me with that will allow me to accomplish my goals.

That someone is provably competent in doing MMO is something that - online; is quite difficult to accurately determine.

At least that's my two cents worth...

Hi Snow Predator!

Do you think that if you built a list that offered a FREE gift
that showed people how to make $100 a day they wouldn't
appreciate it?

London is the most expensive place to live certainly in the UK
anyway.

So if you are able to show people how to make a small fraction of
that income using your FREE offer then you can simply offer a PAID
version UPGRADE to that original free one that shows them how to go
at least full time and quit their jobs etc etc.

Don't sit on this my friend.

If you are making a living from what you are doing then you have
something of EXTREME VALUE that you can share with others.

Build your list my friend & start sharing your thoughts, experiences,
opinions, ideas and so on.

All the best
Gavin

Would you pay for guitar lessons from someone who only knew how to play one song?

No, it's not cool at all. Makes you look like every other fraud out there... like the guys who secretly work a full time job for some employer, but then doesn't mention it and attributes their income and lifestyle to IM so they can sell "coaching" services on the side.

Find something that works.. Anything related to MMO..

Then test, test, test until you master it and make consistent profit.

Then write a course on the method and sell it..

Rinse & repeat.

Cheers,

Gary

Congratulations for the idea!
You have been in MMO for three years now,so i believe you have enough experience to start teaching people on the same.
Just go for it!

snow predator

you might as well jump in and sell make money online

usually the people that cannot make money go ahead and teach other people how to make money and they become gurus lol

let me know when you launch so I can be an affiliate lol

Yeah for sure its cool for you to teach what you know in MMO. Just teach that though, dont try to teach what you dont know, rather show other newbie IMer's what you know and im sure you will do great.

Here's my thoughts....

1. In any market you target... first think of a large group of people that are looking to solve problems.

Too many marketers fail because they sell what they WANT to sell... not what the people want to buy.

so to find the best markets... find the largest groups of people with problems they want solved.

then, make sure they have money to invest... and also make sure they are actively looking for solutions.

you don't want to create a product in a market where no one buys... because either they don't care enough to change... or they have no money.

and finally, yes, it is important to have some passion or interest in the subject... because there will be some lean times to get it all started... so passion can often push you over the hump.

But I speak to hundreds of internet marketers a year who are OUT of business the next year because they created stuff that THEY wanted... not what could help a large group of other people out.

So, to answer the OPs question... if you can help a group of people who have problems they want solved... then you could enter the niche/market.

But remember... you're going up against some heavy hitters in the MMO niche.

Thankfully, most in the niche make little to no money... but you still have to be
unique/better/different than the rest.

So, what would you focus on that makes you unique in this niche? how could you separate yourself? what would you offer different than the rest in this niche?

In my opinion, you'd be better off focusing on a VERY tight and focused part of
this niche... and try to win there. Work the fringes instead of just the MMO niche.

How about teaching students how to create a nice part time online income that helps
with school?

or teach the older generation how to make a passive part time income.

or how about focusing on a certain industry like fitness, personal trainers, etc...

Bottom line, don't try to be generic and an "all things to all people"... try to be very unique and different... and become known for something special in this industry.

that's how you'll win these days... especially when competition can be cut throat!
