Can I Still Sell A "Method" If...

8 replies
When I say method, I mean methods to make money online (mainly via IM).

Can I still sell a "method" even if I haven't made money from that specific method? I guess people mostly sell a method or a strategy that has been tried and tested, and proven to earn. It seems people are all about proof of earnings and whatnot these days, and probably won't want to invest in an idea, or something that *could* work out.

Whether that's the case or not, I'm not sure. Would potential buyers be able to see the value in a method that *could* make them some money?

I mean, you know, even if someone's selling something that IS proven to sell, and something that they've made money from and provided earning proof, it still doesn't mean that anyone who buys it will make money from it, right? It's the same story, they *could* make money from it - regardless of whether they take action or not.

Maybe my logic is flawed. But what I'm basically trying to ask is, can I still sell a money making method on its own, as an idea or theory (no strings attached, no guarantees, etc)?

I'm pretty sure there are OTHER ways to build value for a product other than earning proof and bragging about how much you've earned from a method. What do you guys think?

  • I would hate to buy something from some one who couldnt use the method to make money. Maybe you should try the method and make it work for you, before you go passing junk that you cant even use on to other newbies. That is...if you want to make a name for yourself.

    That's some seriously convoluted thinking... lol

    Believe me when I say that I'm creative enough that I could
    sit and think all day about all kinds of methods that might make
    someone a buck.

    Until an actual buck has been made with one of them what could
    they possibly be worth?

    Of course there are no guarantees that anyone is going to make
    money with a particular method even though someone else did but
    the fact is that, in most cases, someone actually did make money
    with the method they are selling.

    I'd love to see how you go about building value in your offer without
    misleading or outright lying if you haven't made an money with it yourself.

    If you have an idea that you believe could make money why not just
    do it? How much more is a proven method worth than your academic theory?

    I agree with Tsnyder. Also, what do you plan on saying when people ask you about your experiences with your method? If you have something you can tell people based on your own experiences, then you will have an answer for them. But what will you tell them if you haven't ever tried the method?

    Well I still think that you can profit from your own "Method" products although you don't have any experiences,skills or knowledge..Here's how;

    Take advantage of the popularity of experts on a particular niche by Interviewing them..

    You don't need:
    Experiences
    Skills
    Proof


    Hope it helps..

    It's still your own product but you can monetize from other people's "proven method"..

      Doesn't stop a lot of people.

      Nor trying to sell a method after mediocre or inconclusive results.

    I don't particularly recommend this method in the IM space (it's not like in school where professors teach something they've never actually done themselves). I personally would not purchase from someone who hasn't derived the results they are promising to me: how are you able to guarantee results when you haven't achieved that result yourself?

    Also, whose stats will you be providing in your course as an example????

    I truly feel that you should sell what you know best from trial and error - and perfection. Provide true, proven value.

    I hope this helped.

    Hello:

    Jayson here and i would like to comment on your post.

    First off any good marketer knows that the money is in what you say. But what do you say to make people wanna buy from you.

    Well you could have the best product or compensation plan in the world but if you dont know how to market it then you WILL FAIL miserably.

    Regardless if your using an affiliate site or launching your own campaing from home you need to have value in what you say. Noone wants to hear a sales pitch or a get rich over night scam. No matter how sweet you make it sound.

    What you need to sell is yourself. You get more bees with honey. You help people for nothing in return you almost always get it in return anyways. So here i am to give you the Free STUFF your looking for whether you check out my opportunity or not.

    Why would he do this you say?

    Simply cause im genuine and want everyone to succeed. And i already know i have the best commision plan on the net anyways. I know what it takes to make it in marketing and i want to give you some advise on how to as well.

    People fail all the time at home marketing because of 3 things.

    1) THEY QUIT WHEN THEY DONT SEE RESULTS -They dont allow for there learning curve and everyones learning vurve is different.
    2) THEY DO ONE THING AND EXPECT CUSTOMERS TO ROLL IN- to make sales you need leads and the ONLY way to do that is to promte yourself to every opportunity you can. If you treat it like a business you will get paid like a business. Otherwise its an expensive hobby
    3) THEY DONT GET THE SUPPORT THEY NEED- in order to becoome a top producer you need to follow a top producer. One on one help with someone that has actually made thier so called millions online would benifit you ten fold. Get them to show you the ropes and show you step by step what to do.

    Well i could honestly go on forever and peobly strayed off topic a little. But if anyone is looking for some free marketing strategies please feel free to email me at jaysonstahlbaum at g mail

    If you decide to join my team i will garantee you wont go at it alone. I am looking for 15-20 serious poeple to start making some serious income. If not then e mail me anyways and ill still share some free advertising methods anyways.

    Best of luck to all and happy interneting.
