If you had to choose would you prefer to make money today or focus on the long term?

10 years ago

This will of course depend on the individuals current situation.

So... if the situation was that someone needed to make money NOW, then of course, go with the short-term cash with a long-term mindset that once you've got your cash needs met every month, that you'll then implement a more long-term strategy.

If someone's cash needs are currently met, hey, why not go for both? It can be profitable to go either way... and it's best to not close the door to one method.

Sometimes, short-term and long-term methods/strategies can go hand in hand. List building is one of those methods where you can make cash now, as well as build a long-term asset for the long haul.

I prefer working towards the long term. The world as it is though, requires we have income to pay our bills in the short term as well. If you can generate enough to cover your bills and focus on the future plan as well, you're golden.

Thanks guys - interesting everyone is choosing long term.

The best sellers are all about the short term.

  None of your offers actually involve long-term thinking. $1000 within a month is almost as short term thinking as the former.

I would personally choose the long term choice. This is because I am in no way desperate to make money today or tomorrow. At this point in my life I'm trying to establish a future, and a couple hundred dollars within the next few days won't really do anything for me.

2. 5 ways to make $1000 by next month.

Another step by step procedure. This one involves you have to work long hours steadily for 30 days or so, and still put in 3 hours a day maintenance work after for a continuous passive income.

Each one sells for $47

Each one is GUARANTEED!

You can only choose one - Which would you choose?

.

If I'm broke and desperate, option 1. If I have no immediate need for the cash, option 2.

If you are sounding out sales letter copy, you will get more serious and dedicated buyers with option 2. I think I would even regard them as two different markets.

  I personally would choose the second one; but if you are looking for advice on the concept itself, it would greatly depend on who you are marketing it to.
  Many marketers would be wary of quick solutions, whereas the average Joe Newbie wouldn't be put off by the possibility of making money online in two days.
  
  Just my two cents

  Thanks CynthiaC for your thread as well as your generous intention of sharing both methods.
  
  But, I am wondering when the time will come....There is already many responses have come and obviously 90% of the thread responded in favor of option-2. I don't think, you have any doubt that now you have a clear mandate for option-2, if you were just wanted to know the real inclination of people.

It's long term because once it is set up it takes only a few hours to maintain and generates a passive income

Another step by step procedure. This one involves you have to work long hours steadily for 30 days or so, and still put in 3 hours a day maintenance work after for a continuous passive income.

Perhaps I didn't write that clearly?

Part two should convey the message that
1. it's 30 days of hard work
2. at the end of 30 days you will have around $1000
3. You will continue to make that $1000 / mo passively with very little maintenance work.

Going for the long term is always the way everybody should be going....

But the reason why so many people would still choose the short term is to get money now....

It's important to be able to pay off bills right, and nothing beats being able to get money right now.

Lucky are those who are able to take a short term income strategy and use it to generate money even for the future.

  No chance - the premise is the product would be guaranteed or money back.
