A Light Bulb Went Off (Part 2 of 2)
This is a continuation of 'A LightBulb Went Off'…
I already know everything it takes to make money online.
I spoke with gurus. Or maybe not even gurus but rather good people making tons of money online. One said to me that he puts a pot of coffee on, kisses his children and wife good night and pulls an all weekend ‘system’ launch. By the next week, he is making like $6,000.
Wow!
He said stop buying stuff and reading stuff and just go with your best idea. He said to me that even if I did not make a dime of profit, the lessons I learned would be worth much more than any Ebook could teach me. He said if you are going to read anything, read on how to write a good sales copy.
It was then I decided that I would STOP reading eBooks and joining whatever online business opportunity that captured my eye. I started truly learning what exactly to do to earn profits once I got serious and stopped reading message boards all night. I just deleted all those emails that pounded my inbox with more and more opportunities.
I stopped focusing on learning and started focusing on “doing”. I started putting action into what I already learned. Instead of focusing on the hidden and missing “secrets”, I focused on creating my own products. Instead of joining affiliate programs, I created my own. I started mapping out and designing real action plans.
It’s when I went to scriptlance.com and posted a project for the best idea I had at the time, picked a bidder and got my project designed… that I started truly learning what it took.
And then, I stumbled onto a few techniques or avenues of making money online. It reminded me of algebra class (which I hated) in college. I would stare at some equation trying to figure out how to solve it. But once I got it… I got it. I just knew how to figure the problem from that point on.
Same goes here. I then looked at every website differently and every sales copy differently. I looked at every business opportunity differently. Heck, I even looked at Anthony Robbins, Brian Tracy and all those types of people differently.
It just clicked. And, that is where it is. I believe I learned and now know the so called secrets to making money online…
I'm going to share my knowledge with you in the form of an eBook. It's going to be totally free of charge - more details to follow.

I'll be looking forward to your ebook. I agree, if I spent half the time working on my projects as I did reading more ways to make mmoney, I would do better.
Still, I do need a bit more education before it "clicks."

Burt,
I don't think anyone could have said it better than how you just did. I too recently started a real focused effort to "mine" the area where I was making a little bit of money and dig for a lot more.
Sometimes we get drawn into the next big "secret" thing and lose focus.
Can't wait for your ebook, your generosity and giving of your experience and knowledge is sincerely appreciated.
Regards

Great post,
and super-informative as always, Cheers!
It is so easy to get lost in this wierd and wonderful world of IM, lol, but it's cool that you have had a 'light-bulb' moment. We're all eagerly wondering 'what could possibily be in the eBook'!! There is nothing wrong in your Sales Copy here, lol. It really is generous of you to give your time, effort and great information with this blog… and now an eBook! Thanks and looking forward to it.
(ps don't the newbs get you down)

That is a great article. It is so easy to get lost in the get rich now, I know something you don't ebooks that are out there - that end up leaving us a bit empty, because much of what's there has been said before and we know it.
To develop an idea that you have - leaves you with the profit, you don't have to worry about the affiliate program.
Very cool. I can't wait to hear how it goes for you!

Thanks Guys
The eBook is complete, I just need to check for spelling mistakes etc. Course, I've not been able to concentrate fully on it as I've been working on my Site Builder project…but should have the eBook out hopefully on Wednesday.
And Brian, yep, people who don't have "glass half full" attitude do get to me. I kind of had to bite my tongue earlier in that particular thread

Good stuff, Gary. If it's one thing that holds more people back than anything else it's inertia. What's amazing is that like a lot of things we have irrational fears of, once we get over that fear and do it anyway then we end up wondering why we hadn't done it before!

I promise I have not forgotten about the free eBook - I have been very busy on other stuff so it's taken a bit of a back seat. After tomorrow I'll have lots of free time, so will heop to get it proof-read and uploaded early next week.
