You can't get rich overnight

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.

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?

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."

As your natchrl Princess, gotta tellya this is wahooey.

When you born into Royalty, the cash is yours from the moment the noice cuts the cord.

Gotta figure it is a bizzarrely unfair system.

But we wound the clock forward back in the day, an' summa us still paradin' around in the outfits.

(My tiara gaht plenny joolz btw, but I insist on swappin' it out for jokesy antlahs evry Christmas bcs prolly they woulda done same back in Medieval times if'n they had the choice.)

Thing is, if'n you ain't rich, why you evah wanna be?

If'n the internets noozscape be accurit, the loopster bloob-herd guy with the maxo dollahs cain't even whup out his tornado in the rest room without bodyguards checkin' the place for sucky assailants.

With great dollahs comes great constrainability, it seems.

As for happiness, if'n you payin' millions of dollahs in rehab fees, the **** you dowin' here, actschlly?

Plz shoot yusself soonah rathah than latah, you abominable spongemeistah!

Thing is, ground beneath feet an' sky up above can kinda stretchya out all stoopid if'n you don't watch straight.

That is why I would wish always to ventyoore into tamara maximally wholesum an' yummy.

Most change ain't neithah cataclizzumic nor revelatory.

It is pulsy, it is directed, it is evident.

You get up, you pull on your panties, you go smile at people.

I believe it is this evryday momentum kinda grows our potential.

Imbibe sweet. Pulse exotic. Throw a Santa on yr tiara.

Absolutely right! But we have to remind ourselves often and not get discouraged.

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!

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??

GordonJ

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.

Problem is that once the course is available to the public, the trick or trend is already 90% on the way out.

"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.

Jamell - are you using the 'modern view'? It results in 'serial posting'


Put your cursor over your forum name in the black toolbar above and look at the dropdown menu - in the 'gold box' if it says 'view classic' - click on that to get ot the more usable forum discussion style where you can quote the person you are answering.


Aren't they also the ones who usually create or recognize the opportunity?

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

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.

y not.



buy an ak47 rob a bank

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.

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.

Needs & wants.
Circs & dreams.
All possibility
sews the seams.

(I cain't sew btw, jus' like I cain't cook -- but I would wanna hope this pithy contribyootion helps nowan lamah than Moi.)

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.
