You can't get rich overnight

These get rich quick schemes only serve to entice you to make a quick buck at the expense of your pocket book.

Let be honest . We all have methodologies we use to accomplish our marketing goals. .

Yes You have methods that work for you but that doesn't mean the exact same method will work for me.

People jump online thinking they can emulate the results of others without learning and understanding the process .

Every single one of us learn through trial and error no matter how much experience we have.

Yes some of us have more experience than others . Yes it's wise to learn from other people however our target audiences aren't the same and even if they were the consumer still wants to experience a unique marketing experience from you as opposed to sounding like everyone else .

If you sound like everyone else you are blending in which means you can't differentiate your brand from the others.

  • You're totally right about those get rich quick schemes - they're usually too good to be true and end up costing us more in the long run. It's important to find marketing methods that work for us individually and that we can tailor to our own unique brand and audience. Trial and error is a key part of the learning process, and it's okay to make mistakes along the way. Just remember, standing out and being authentic is the key to success in a crowded market.

    • Yes they cost you a lot in the long run . Majority of the schemes are designed to upsell you which makes it even more annoying in my opinion .

  • What is the context of your post, are you talking about specific schemes here, or just in general saying you can get rich quick?

    What is your point here?

    Which people are jumping online with that thought, of emulating success?

    And what is RICH mean?

    I will say that today, with social media, there have been many, many influencers who have gotten a lot of money in a very short period of time. Heck, Tik Tok is not that old, and within the last couple of years we've seen incredible amounts of money made by those who accumulated large audiences.

    In remote direct marketing, one ad which is a winner, and if it is a front end which makes a profit, there are many marketers hitting home runs, and doing it quickly too.

    It feels as if you are addressing a specific "these", as far as get rich quick means. Care to tell us more?

    Maybe one can make a lot of money in a short period of time, is two years quick? I think to those Warriors who have spent a decade or more struggling to survive, it might be very quick.

    I respect your opinion, but I don't know what you mean by rich or quick?

    Is it relative?

    Now on the other hand, it doesn't take that long to be earning a good job income from IM, if it is set up right at the beginning, and I suppose, that would leave almost everyone out who pursues a get rich overnight scheme, eh?

  • Conceptually people have their own vision of what they consider as being rich. Then there is the different idea of how long it takes to build that income.

    You can get rich in one plane ride. Just if you have remote income go where that income starting as low as2000$ usd a month put you in the bracket of being rich and 3000$ usd$ Means you have a luxury apartment, a personal chef a maid and a driver. Then you can also get a few massages a week. While occasionally adding a piece of tailored clothing to your wardrobe.

    If that is something you want.

    If you are trying to compete with plastic surgeons, investment bankers, Hollywood celebrities and Silicon Valley executives. You probably have a way to go and work to do to get there.

    How you define the rich lifestyle you want effects how quickly you can get it. But there are many millionaires in California and New York who don't feel rich.

  • Generalizations - yet you haven't answered questions asked of you....
    is this a broad compliant that YOU can't get rich overnight because OTHER marketers want to SELL you something?



    • [ 2 ] Thanks
  • In many cases, that's not true. If someone makes a marketing strategy work for them......that means it works. It just might not be something you want top do, or are comfortable doing.


    I hear this a lot.

    Being unique would matter a lot more if your prospects were aware of every single marketing approach out there. And they never are.

    It's impossible to sound like everyone else, because everyone else doesn't sound the same.

    Being unique is a plus....but only if you're also amazing.

    People don't get rich just because they are unique. They get rich because people want to give them money for what they sell. And people don't buy from you because you are unique....unless they really want what you have and they aren't aware of another option.

    Generally, you seem unique to the buyer, because they are only aware of you...and maybe a few other options.


    No buyers is aware of all the options available to them. You just have to be the best option they are aware of.

    Interesting post Jamell.
    : )

    Depending on what you mean ― I wouldn't want to get "rich" overnight ... I would rather put all the time, effort, and energy into a Venture and kind of "earn" the money. Also I think it's more than just making money.
    It's mentioned a lot ― and for good reason ― however I like the concept of providing "tremendous Value" to People ... (And then asking for something in return.)

    P.S.
    There's a story about a Wealthy Dad who on his death bed leaving his Son a little note (something to the effect of): "Appreciate the value of a hard day's work."

      NO. Not at all. Nothing personal, been waging this war for decades...about absolutes, and what EVERY ONE must do, or not do, what is absolutely right...

      Granted some things are learned by the doing, and doing it wrong, so adjustment needs to take place.

      But imagine a dentist. You want her to learn by trial and error? Or would you prefer she have graduated from a dental school, preferably a real one.

      If IM is approached as if it were a profession or a career, there is a lot of trial and error that does not have to take place.

      Professionals learn and study first. They take the time to educate themselves, often at a great cost, BEFORE they jump in and make all those errors.

      The WF may be the best college of IM how not to that exists. It might be the St. Elsewhere of marketing, the Slough House of spies.

      Making money quickly...NO rules against it. Having success with IM in a short period of time...no LAW that says no.

      There isn't a good reason why one has to have a great number of trials and errors in their journey, it is all about how it is set up and gone about to begin with...which takes us to the OP, and the many flawed premises it contains, in addition to this one you so heartily agree with...there is
      the consumer still wants to experience a unique marketing experience from you as opposed to sounding like everyone else

      I'd like to see the study that supports this idea. I'm a consumer, sometimes I want a better price. And I don't know what a unique marketing experience is...but from what I do know about consumers and what they want...

      And don't want. Maybe most of them don't want to have a marketing experience at all, just a better product/service with a fair value exchange.

      NO. NO.

      NO. Not every single one of us (have to) learn by trial and error.

      Yeah I think discouragement is one of the main reasons why People give up.

      Sometimes ― even with an exceptional Plan, work Ethic, and Action ― "failure" is something People have to contend with ... (The "secret" is to learn something from it ...) As Winston Churchill said: "Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm." Ideally People/Entrepreneurs/etc. will succeed on their first attempts, however it doesn't always work like that. Learn something from it and keep going.

      Anyway, thanks for the post PressRel.

      [Added=]
      Thought I would share this quotation from Thomas J. Watson:

      "Would you like me to give you a formula for success, it's quite simple really: Double your rate of failure ..." (Uh, what? How can that work?) He continues:

      "You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success but it isn't at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it. So go a head and make mistakes ― make all you can ― because that is where you find success."

      I don't know why, however when I stumbled upon that quotation several years ago I found it very inspiring/empowering.

      All that said ― when a Person has a solid Plan/Guide/Roadmap (from someone who has done it) ... They can avoid a great deal of all the "trial and error". That doesn't necessarily guarantee success, it just makes it much more likely and saves a lot of time. : )

  • Your post forgets the power of positive thinking. It's big with some people around here and there.


    I have given people step-by-step instructions for various things... Some get the same results (or good enough), some end up with nothing good. So, though, in theory, everybody can learn; in practice, some cannot.



    And some get really lucky, enter a space at the right time, and think they're amazing (done that myself when I opened my real estate appraising company... had to do no marketing, no advertising, people were just chasing me... Because it was 2009 and I was in the USA. I thought it was because me being sufficiently tall, dark and handsome.



    2008 came and showed me otherwise... Lucky for me, I got into Dan Kennedy and marketing in 2006. It was rough, all the same, but it could have been a lot worse.



  • You can get rich overnight but it takes an awful long time.

    And what is rich baseline is probably a million, (which barely buys you a house these days).

    I would say that rich is being able to burn 100k and not give a toss, but that is just me.

    But rich is probably being able to do virtually anything with a price tag and not have any remorse about it.

    I could probably package my Stock market Skills into a salable product but why would l if it is making me money?

    Also disclosing all of those methods l have developed over 5 years would potentially destroy some of them and water down others, or as is the case in IM and other areas the more people know the more it may not last.

    Or about the only thing l would sell is being very determined!


    If you are very determined then you will figure it out, and without destroying the systems you may find, since the vast majority are not!

    • By your definition (1M) a lot of rich people, I know...would most certainly "give a toss" at a 100k expenditure.

      See, what we have at the mind forum, is a lot of LACK of money mindset, and some false beliefs about what rich people do, or would do. Your idea of spending 100k without a worry, is in the Paris Hilton type crowd, Neporichbabies, who inherited it. A nepotrust person never had to work for their wealth.

      Many a rich person has come out of the stock market, by being IN the stock market successfully, and leveraging their profits, NOT by selling how to info, that is left to the marketer types, not the investors. Before they became named pundits, most had success with what they did, ala Jim Cramer.

      But anyhow, the idea, that it takes a long time to get rich, however you define it, just isn't true. It may take a couple of years, but it doesn't have to take a decade. What many Warriors lack is a SAVINGS plan or an investment plan, of growing wealth over the long haul while making their moolah doing something they like to do.

      This thread, and all like it, and the majority of Mind forum participants, have a LACK mindset to begin with and use their experiences as the measurement of how hard/easy it is to reach a monetary goal...and maybe most Warriors don't even have one of those.

      The goal, will often dictate the HOW TO, the Plan of Action to get to that point.

      So, making some glue here; there is do what you love and the money will follow (I vote against this one),

      Do what you like, save and invest and grow.

      Do what makes money...and do what makes money quickly, if it doesn't violate any personal morals.

      But to say it takes years and years just doesn't bear out, especially today.

  • Point taken but l am going with the Rolling Stones who are immensely wealthy and told one of their drivers to smash one of their limousines into a wall just to see how it would look, or for laughs perhaps.

    So totaling a car almost worth 100k since they were bored and extremely wealthy, so didn't give a toss about the money value!



    Agreed.

    Unfortunately it bears out on the US stockmarket, or some months make more money than others. I hate this conclusion but have to face it, strike when the iron is hot but it won't be hot all of the time.

    I know of two newbies who started out with about 10k each and lost most of it since they had beginners luck and virtually no experience.

    It does take years to master this, but a decade you probably have a point.

    Lol, no of course not, a lot of investment corporations very likely use some of my strategies but don't say anything to their client base, since they have an advantage that mainstream only has a hint of.

    Or more to the point if a quick and easy way is found to create wealth then ....bodies may step in, change legislation and is it effectively unusable or not available anymore.

    Countries don't flourish if everyone is rich, but they do if most work hard and pay high taxes.

    This gets back to the Frank Kern example were he spammed before spamming was made illegal, created a 8k list and grew it from there.

    Or the guy who leveraged 50k just before Gamestop took of and turned it into l think that he ended up with 125million. That wasn't tossing a coin there was more to it than that.

    And he didn't say a word about how he did it only that he expected it to go up but was surprised by how much.

    He knows that if he had told everyone how he did it everyone would use it and the method would be destroyed by overuse or new rules may be implemented and the method would be illegal.

  • Shane can you pick a different story of a celebrity,athlete or rockstar wasting a chunk of money. Unfortunately any attempt to google that story leads to the magazine and not the band.

    If they where crashing the limousine to see how it looked. Where they by chance filming it to maybe put the footage in a music video or get photos for the cover of an album single.

    Maybe it was creative inspiration to write a song.

    Many of those stories that hit the press are publicity stunts. Or the are the stories of how celebrities/ rockstars and pro athletes went broke so fast.

    Then there are the stories that come of of how people committing fraud and other criminal activities spend the money.

    Adding this .much of the wealth around the world is hidden and it either socially not excepted to be flashy. Or it's dangerous. In the last 30 years there has been so much wealth created around the world with so many different ways for people to get rich. People from different cultures with different people priorities get rich and build wealth differently. There is even a different idea of what is valuable.

    Now even with globalization stalling and the economic crisis unfolding around the world because of to much debt. New technology will open ways for many more to get rich and build wealth in the next 20 years. Different from how people did it traditionally.

  • I was quick to criticize this viewpoint. Mostly because there isn't any context.

    But as the thread has gone on, and we have different ideas of what rich is, and discuss time too...I thought it only fair, if I was so against this post, then maybe it would behoove me and the forum to give the other side of the coin.

    I advocate making money quickly, ASAP, as soon as you can.

    Sure, sounds good.

    But HOW?

    Not to drag this out, and to keep things dirt simple...and if you disagree, feel free to express yourself, this is only one person's point of view. Fair enough?

    My favorite story comes from Ben Suarez and Gary Halbert, two names widely recognized in marketing. Ben spent 5 years struggling (must have been an early Warrior-HA)...trying to get his mail order business off the ground. He had spent a lot of money and a LOT of time and just couldn't get it to work.

    Enter Halbert. With his ADVICE. Sell what people want to buy, not what you want to sell.

    It was advice ignored, right up to the brink of bankruptcy. As a last ditch effort, he did what Gary told him to do, sell something popular that people were already buying...in other words, sell to an existing "hungry" crowd.

    And his choice was astrology. Ben hated the idea, went against everything he believed in, except the making money part. So, reluctantly, he gave it great thought, and the result was a breakthrough ad, ASTROLOGY TODAY. It ran on the back of the Sunday comics in test newspapers, then was rolled out across the country.

    After 5 years of heartache, struggle, and failure, in a matter of MONTHS he was rich. Rich enough to end all debt, build a business which 50 years later is still going strong.

    Because...and here is the HOW TO I mentioned:

    He began to sell what people were buying.

    In the thread, I have said that Claude gave us the answer, BE IN THE SELLING business...not the SEO, IM, AI, Affiliate, eCom, etc., etc. business

    And as long as you are going to be in the SELLING BUSINESS, then it stands to reason you would want to:

    Learn how to sell. Learn how to sell REMOTELY, online, to complete strangers around the world. This involves knowing the mechanics, the basics which are:

    A product/service or OFFER as many like to call it today...that is the SOMETHING to sell.

    A prospect for the thing, preferably someone who has bought a similar thing recently.

    A PROMOTION, or as I call it, the INTERSECTION where your prospect meets your offer, and a way to take money or exchange value.

    The WAY to get rich quick, or make money fast is; Sell something they want, and keep selling them a family of the thing they want.

    Now all the tools, such as funnels and such, have been automated to the point where anyone can get started for minimum costs, and reinvest profits to scale it all up.

    In choosing your product/service/offer, many of the most experienced will tell you to start with the WHO first, and build, acquire, create your offer for them...it is faster than doing first and trying to find a market.

    Since I was quick to criticize the idea, I feel at least now, there is somewhat of an idea to counter balance it out.

    YOU can make money quickly. And now you have a dirt simple concept of the HOW.

    Questions??

    • Business 101.

      Unfortunately, almost everybody would agree...but few get the agreement part out of their brain and put it into action.

      If you know 90% of all millionaires got that way through real estate, why wouldn't you get into real estate?

      Well, umm, you know, I just don't have the cash...

      you start out small and build your way up. Don't overcomplicate your excuses.

      I now have over 300 apartment units in 2 states. Honestly, I couldn't care any less about apartments or real estate...but it's an investment that took years to build up.

      You don't need to start with multi-million dollar apartment complexes...start with a house you need to remodel and go from there...

      but, most won't even start small because they're chasing other shiny ideas that just may, maybe, possibly, who knows, be a winner. And in all honesty, it took me a few years to get it through my hard head that not everybody cares or wants what I had to sell. Find a product that people want.

      I'm not trying to make this post about real estate...just using it as an example of what is proven to work.

      You can try to sell Tea Cup Pigs all day, but it's probably not a million-dollar idea...

      then you'll wonder how to write your copy better, or why your ads aren't working. Obviously, this is just an example and I have no idea if Tea Cup Pigs sell well...the point is, if you want to make a lot of money you go where the money is.

      There's nothing wrong with having a hobby and working on that...but don't expect to always get wealthy from it. If you're happy just making pocket change, that's ok too.

      Find the products/services/investments that make money and you'll make money.

      It may not always be what excites you...but once you have cash coming in you can pursue your hobbies.

      I've worked on projects that were so boring to me that I wondered how anyone could possibly care about the crap...but guess what? People were buying it and making someone wealthy.

      So so so so so many people will agree that you need to sell what people want...but so so so many people don't take their own advice.

      Thanks for that post. It's a subject that could go on and on.

  • True when l developed my software, (put up a WSO here) for the best Underconstruction WP App available all l did was study all of my competitors that were clearly selling them and put all of their best ideas into one package, (ideas only).

    #1 Best graphics, (well l did enjoy that part but outsourced most of it).
    #2 Best backgrounds, (image, or product replicated over the background, etc).
    #3 Best social media aspect, (had Facebook, Twitter and so forth options down the bottom and a feed option of course).
    #4 And put in someone very few of my competitors were using, or a link option that would stop at a certain stage of the large countdown timer to the ? launch time.

    Anyone could do that, but even though l made over 1k in profits most of that was for affiliate's, and l eventually had to close down the offer as spammers using Giraffe sites to siphon credit card numbers and using that to steal my product was getting too much in the end, (PayPal doesn't refund that on occasions and that kills profits).

    I know, l know if l had got my team of programmers in India to do a series of related products it could have been a viable business, but back then l thought that one product would make me rich, but it is a bit more involved than that.

    Agreed loved the money, loved the sense of achievement and loved the positive feedback here, losing a sense of time, only when doing the graphics.

    I guess l just laid out here how to make money online, but hey my business these days is online trading so l am happy to spill the beans and kick the can down the road.

    • ????????????

      Anyhow.

      Techniques can be new, then they aren't. A trend can retain a core group of advocates.

      I don't know, or care for that matter, what this post is about...but I will further the discussion in spite of it.

      Two years ago I wrote a report about a TIDAL WAVE trend that was coming, it was about the legalization of Sports Betting in OHIO. It started this year, and in Jan. Broke all kinds of records for sports betting. We instantly became the number 1 sports betting state...for awhile anyhow.

      One can cash in on TRENDS, or growing audiences/participants if one tunes into the cycles. Today it is PICKLE BALL. 30 years ago it was RACQUETBALL. In Europe, they are picking up Racketball, and squash remains popular in some circles as does badminton. All retain a core group, a niche market if you will.

      Golf has had up and down cycles. Today the LIV tour has disrupted the game, and actually has helped spur new interest. A trend? We'll see.

      As for making money quickly, with either trends or CYCLES, you just have to place yourself on the track and let the train run you over.

      Every 4 years in USA a ton of money is made on elections; signs, buttons, postcards all things political marketing...a very lucrative recurring cycle.

      As for courses, uh, "running their course", reaching market saturation and the point of diminishing returns goes...this is where the concept of the PARADE OF LIFE comes in.

      Just as in life we go from cradle to casket, and along this journey we go into and through many different markets and niches, a savvy marketer sets up for longevity by offering water stands along the marathon runners' routes.

      Or a food truck in the middle of a starving crowd, if you prefer.

      Trends, cycles and events coming can all be wonderful sources of income IF one takes the time to do a full evaluation and understands the market and the customers.

      So, whatever the post means, we can try to spin some gold from this straw, can't we?

      TRENDS, cycles, the Parade of Life all are opportunities to make some pretty fast cash, eh?

    • GordonJ handled this nicely.

      But I can't help myself.

      Only the most event centric courses are irrelevant by the time they come out.

      For example, there was a sales book written about selling during the pandemic.

      A brilliant idea, that I wish I had thought of. And of course, the book sold like hotcakes...

      ....for about a year. And now, it won't sell anymore...and neither would a course, based on that premise.

      Some internet marketing courses are centered around a technology that is essentially a fad. It burns brightly for several months...and then burns out.

      But the majority of subjects about making money are almost evergreen.
      • [ 1 ] Thanks
    • Agreed, and some push strategies that are thrashed. I did a PPC course that was thrashed and very expensive to test and the founder even tested a campaign for a successful product after months of members asking for it, and it bombed.

      Typically by the time mainstream learn about it it is thrashed and virtually useless.

      If mainstream catches wind of anything that is quick and easy it doesn't last long.

      The elites use a system til it is too hard to use then package it boasting about what they made from it and make more money.

  • "Mainstream" are the folks who don't want to buy anything until others tell them whether it 'works' or not. They don't want to be 'first' because something might go wrong.


    And by the time they make up their mind to try a process or method....it may well be overused and old news.


    It never occurs to those in the 'mainstream' that simply tweaking or updating a process might make it 'work' again. Mainstream prefers to wait for the next 'new' product or process and then wait to 'see if it works' for others....and the cycle repeats.

    • Actschwlly, early adaptahs is a soopah cool typo in this respect.

      Adopt presupposes the adoptable, trad to startup.

      Natchrlly, if'n you early in on the startup, you gaht fyootyoore prescience.

      But if'n you startin' up sumthin', aintcha an early adaptah?

      First to break out from a model or format dun its time an' nowan knows yet?

      Gotta contrast also with a fearly adoptah.

      Yanno, jus' knucklin' down an' gowin with what evrywan says bcs you don't do that, they shoot you in the tits.

      What do YOU think of my ideahs?

      You a NEARLY adoptah?

      Or a COME HITHERLY adoptah?

      rn I don't cayurre whatchya are bcs it is Eastah.

      Tellya, I eaten half muh body weight in chocklit fancies & am behavin' abominably as a non-resurrectional phenomenyoolwn.

      Searly adoptah.

      Hurly adoptah.

      Helicuptah.

      rn anythin' goes, kinda typose.
    • Creators may not be able to cash in, although the ones that do, usually cash in big.
      Adopters, may see the opportunity with a different market, or niche.

      As for the fast cash, maybe even the get rich quick possibilities one who thinks MARKET FIRST, will be the one that makes the dough faster. The creator, usually, has spent their TIME and money to bring the idea out...but just like most inventors, they don't understand how to market their invention.

      A trend, like the growing NFL broadcasting contracts, and legal sports betting now allowed in many states represents a trend of time, as opposed to a new thing.

      So, I just want to look at these separately too.

      And I'll give some examples. Bill Myers was an early adopter of Internet Membership sites, back in the late 90's he was charging $1,000.00 for membership in his IDEA BANK group, and started every year off with tens of thousands of dollars in his personal bank account. But Bill was also a creator.

      One of his creations was his MEMBERGATE software, which allowed people to create member sites easily, with a push button effect. Those early adopters also became affiliates for the software, allowing them to cash in three ways; their own members site, building for others, or commission on those who bought the software.

      Today, 25 years later, there are tons of membership softwares, yet, we can still see some of them being operated on MemberGate, some of those have been around two decades pumping cash to those early adopters.

      The thing some of these Warriors are talking about, come out of that get rich quick mindset to begin with, and shiny objects, etc,, etc. and it usually is some guru's latest, and greatest...and THOSE kinds of opportunities do indeed reach saturation and become ineffective.

      But that, for the most part, is succumbing to COPY, buying into the big promise of IF I DID IT, SO CAN YOU, JUST FOLLOW THE FORMULA, and then toss in an affiliate aspect and we can see why so many Warriors, who just jump in, dive head first into the shark infested IM waters, spin their wheels for years in their money quest.

      Since the OP never defined RICH or QUICK, there is ample evidence that YES, one can make money quickly, get fast cash, and for some who take the time to assess the opportunities...can indeed, get rich quck too.

  • Well i am amazed on how people sell courses on how you can make 1000 daily for 50$ or 100$
    Do you think if they was making 1k daily they will lose a lot of time to promote their course of 100$ online
    Hell no
    • [ 1 ] Thanks

    • Hell YES, Considering it may take only a couple of hours to get an ad done...and if you are outsourcing, probably only MINUTES of time.

      How long did it take you to create your sig file link, to what appears to be a sales promotion used by many affiliates? Not more than a click of a button, eh? I wonder how many are making the 150 daily selling 27 and 37 dollar "courses" as you say they can do in said sig file??

      There are Warriors using the same WSO pitch they created YEARS ago, and it takes them no time at all to keep it posted...so go ahead and be AMAZED...

      but the truth, and FACTS are, once a promotion is posted up, it takes very little time and so NO one is losing time by doing it, HELL NO they aren't.

      GordonJ

      ADDED...there are those affiliates even using Clickbank, that are affiliates of programs with 50% and more, often up to 75% commission or affiliate pay. AND many offers into the hundreds of dollars, but at 50 dollars, an affiliate would only need 20 sales a day to reach that 1k. And most often, they promote several different all at once...so even in the field you chose to work in...there are those making 1k a day, mostly by offering things which pay only 50 or 100 bucks. Just one more chance to say HELL YES (one more thought and I gots a country song).

    • Rinse and repeat is interesting... I fundamentally use rinse and repeat on the daily. Every business i have run in the last oh jeeze forever has basically started and run using the same steps - regardless of vertical or product or whatever - a business is a business is a business.

      I will say this - my "Steps" in about no way shape or form apply to Internet Marketing. the basic of basic formation steps do but the whole thing falls apart on the step of determining demand.

      Start searching online to determine "Demand" and all you will see is people filling the demand... its simply hard to get a grasp on the actual demand - online.

      So the average person, might even say, the above average person is going to go with - if there are people answering the question, then there is demand - how can I make the approach unique. And the reality is most have no clue what the actual demand for the item or the service is - not a clue. If others are selling it, I will too.

      We see this played out on the forum more than often... "whats hot right now?" or when there is talk about Evergreen Niches such as health and beauty. Said niche rakes in billions a year - you cant go wrong. Has absolutely nothing to do with actual demand of a specific item or service.

      I will say this, Rinse and repeat requires an amount of... what Adam Savage ( mythbusters ) calls "institutional Knowledge". Time plays a factor in this, experience and above all else understanding through a process what worked / is working and what is not working. the later being the biggest hang up in the entire principle overall.

      Just starting... you simply have no clue what is is is not working. Same applies with things like A/B testing etc etc hard to know what to test if you dont understand what is failing or could be improved.

  • I would consider within a few months to a year, quick. With the right formula it is possible to "get rich quick". It's more the time figuring out the formula that takes so long if you don't know what to do and you're learning as you go. If you have a proven formula and already know what to do, you could quite literally get rich overnight, depending on what your definition of "rich" is.

    • I doubt it.

      There are methods, and implemented strategies which can create a lot of money in a short period of time. They aren't 'state secrets' or anything, and no one needs to be an Einstein either.

      The problem with formulas are most often found in the personalities trying to use them.

      Just cause Bobby Joe made tons of money doing X, doesn't mean Billy Sue will, even doing the exact same thing. It is the GREAT LIE and fallacy of "do what I did, get what I got" sort of thinking.

      Formulas, plans, blueprints...the whole do it my way thing, sells a lot of books, courses and makes some rich...BUT, if we had one that worked, for everyone...why wouldn't we all be doing it?

      I will say the RIGHT MINDSET; based upon tested results. For example, thousands of people have made a lot of money with REMOTE DIRECT MARKETING, old timers used Mail Order, Radio, TV. Today, IM and social is all about RDM.

      I do know of, and use ONE formula which I know first hand works. It was developed by RDM legend Ben Suarez who has sold several BILLION dollars of stuff over the last 4 decades, he says he rinses and repeats using his NPGS formula.

      Product. X Prospect. X Promotion. X Media. = NET PROFITS

      Smart marketers start with PROSPECT (people already BUYING)

      That is a proven FAST way to generate fast cash profits in the shortest amount of time.

      Rich, gets defined by our own ideas of what it is. I think having a system (formula) in place that can be repeated over and over is as close to a sure thing as there is.

      If you, or anyone, knows of a marketer with over 50 years of continuous success, with Billions of dollars in sales (one billion from only ONE product)...then I'm all ears, please share.

      So, yes, SURE, find a tested, proven way to bring large amounts in short periods of time, then "rinse and repeat"...keeping in mind, TIME too. Some, would rather keep income steady and healthy rather than grinding for Rich.

    buy an ak47 rob a bank
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
    • [1] reply
    • Why not steal the AK, save that money. 70% of bank robbers are caught within days, the avg. bank haul is barely 10 thousand dollars.

      Seems too high a risk for so little reward. Same AK used in home invasion of known rich man probably yields more $$ less risk.

      As far as risk taking, why not scuba gear and attack a drug submersible, where MILLIONS of dollars or tons of cocaine are...if you don't get the cash, at least you get the high.

  • If it was easy and you could do it overnight it wouldn't be valued, we wouldn't even be replying to this thread right now haha!


    If you could get a six pack overnight then no one would care about it in the first place.



    I believe even if you did happen to somehow hit it big literally OVERNIGHT with a random affiliate marketing course you purchased going from 0 to hero, that you would not even have HALF the required skills to run or maintain and anything at a "rich" level.
    • [ 3 ] Thanks

    • The OP was all about it NOT being easy.

      Who, in their right mind, actually believes getting rich quick (overnight) is a reality? Only those lucky lottery winners, who usually spend it all and end up broke in quick order.

      There is NO debate about the premise.

      What is up for discussion, is: what is RICH (personal)? What is quick? What is easy?

      Even in your reply, you put "rich" in quote marks, leaving it up to each of us to determine what it means.

      And lottery winners are the perfect example of your point, NOT having the skills to maintain their new found wealth.

      And most business success needs someone with a different set of skills, many founders surrender control to managers, who can maintain the success.

      NO one here, says it is easy to get rich quick. HOWEVER, it doesn't need be hard either as many of the posts in the threads have indicated.

      You find what you bring with you to the Warrior Forum.

    • If someone then focuses on affiliate marketing and uses the revenue to build and learn all those skills they do not have. That are needed for consistent results in affiliate marketing. They might have a better shot at achieving and maintaining a rich level of income.

  • What are these quick schemes? What did they ask of you? Did you do it? To the T? Could you have a part you played, why did you get attracted to a quick scheme? Have you considered a coach/mentor? Because often we blame the tools and completely remove ourselves from the equation? Give us a good story.

    • Jamell, the Original Poster, has never really told us which "schemes" he was referring to, and maybe it doesn't matter, as it seems to have been aimed at all "get rich quick" things.

      And throughout the thread, we have our own opinions on what both rich and quick means, it seems to be very subjective here, no agreed upon amounts of money or time.

      I think you hit pretty close to the nail, if not right on it...when you ask "why did you get attracted to a quick scheme"?

      And that may be the crux of the whole matter right there.

      Get rich schemes attract a certain type of person. Don't they?

      Most of society may believe if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably isn't, which is why the best of the scamsters, the Bernie Madoffs, Liz Holmes and Sam-Bankman Fried took the pitch right up to the line of SOUNDING close but just short of TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.

      So, we're not invulnerable from sophisticated scamsters...but the lower level, the low hanging fruit of the get rich schemes/scams are those who are most attracted to it.

      I think you hit an important point. As for your pitch about having a mentor, I would bet that these types, really aren't serious enough to consider a better way, they chase the unicorns over the shiny rainbows toward the pot of gold...often for years.

      Good luck getting answers to your questions, however good they might be.

  • The get rich quick schemes are mostly traps for beginners, or, if we talk about marketing, for those who don't want to hire a marketing team.


    What I like about these schemes is the simplicity with which they are explained.
    If you are new to the field, you understand in general terms what needs to be done to get to the desired result, but it is very vaguely explained. It's a good starting point though.

    Recently I opened an online business where I am selling handmade toys. In the beginning, was very hard for me to crawl through this process of creating an LLC and all the logistic steps. Luckily I found a great blog with relevant articles on how to open a business and different tips. You can see here about what I am talking. It might help you.
