Having been on the internet for quite some time now, I have come across hundreds of gimmicks, fads, how to get rich quick schemes, for quick and easy millions, blah blah etc… from internet marketers, masterminds, mentors and some (I have to say it) morons…
In turn, I have come across many people, who write in and ask me questions, and give advice on their experiences. People who have purchased coaching, courses, eBooks, DVD’s and more on “how to get rich,” tell me they followed all the steps, and are wondering why they are not getting the results they want to achieve. Why is it that “The Tin” tells them to do X, Y and Z – and they do it — BUT, they don’t make a cent?
In all honesty, I have to be realistic and say that the problem lies in the fact that I don’t believe there are any overnight million dollar solutions, or even one week or one month miracles. This is of course unless you have a way of linking up with some good and reputable affiliates, who have a significant number of subscribers on their lists.
It’s important to realise that if you spend a lot of time and hard work creating a reputable brand, with services and products that are in demand and truly first-class customer support, then you will succeed. That’s a guarantee.
One of the first things you will need is a good marketing strategy, so that people can find out about your brand, first-class services and products and untouchable customer support — the trick is to marry all these items and you will then be on your way toward a lasting and profitable business venture. I go into much more detail about this in my book, “Realistic Down To Earth Online Marketing,” which will be of great help to you if you’re actually ready for the “Real Deal.”
When you do this, word will spread; more sales and clients will come. What you then have to do is keep on top of everything, especially the marketing and customer service, which is way too difficult to be done alone, believe me, if you are thinking BIG, you are going to need some serious help. This is where outsourcing comes in; hire a professional online business manager or virtual assistant company to ensure that the quality of your service never suffers — if you skip this all-important step, your business could easily fail.
I am not denying that there are a few people out there who seriously know what they are talking about, people like Tim Ferris and Yaro Starek are well worth listening to – but the biggest questions to ask yourself, before you make the purchase of the “get rich” product are:
1. How legitimate is the person selling this?
2. Is the person selling it rich themselves?
3. And finally… Did the person selling the product get rich from selling the product, or by some other means… This is something you really need to think about.
Sometimes, more often than not it seems, people selling “The Dream of Becoming Rich,” actually made their money selling “The Dream of Becoming Rich,” rather than making their money selling another product or service. What do people want more than anything when running business online? Yes, they want to make money and therefore they come across somebody selling a product, promising that it will make people rich, and the market for buying that product is very large in itself. They are selling “the dream of becoming rich,” to the people who have that dream.
So, if you’re actually selling something like a musical instrument, a fitness machine or a clock, what happens now as you are “not” selling the actual chance to “get rich?” A thousand times the number of people can be sold the concept of becoming rich than can be sold a Violin.
So the moral of all this is that before you spend your valuable money on any course which essentially tries to tell you the system for “how to get rich,” if your goal is to sell a particular service or product, make sure that the person you entrust for advice has actually become rich selling this very same service or product. It is so important to make sure that the advice is applicable in your case and that it is based on a solid foundation.
