I’m on my way out the door, headed over to Orlando,
Florida. I’ll spend the day there, hanging out with
a couple hundred Internet marketers who will all be
on The Marketers Cruise, which departs from Port
Canaveral tomorrow.
We’ll spend a day at sea, then a day in Cozumel, Mexico,
then a day at Isla Roatan, Honduras, then a day in Belize,
then a day at Costa Maya, Mexico, then a day at sea,
then we’ll be back at Port Canaveral, Florida (near Orlando).
During the 7-day cruise, I’ll be relaxing and recharging,
but I’ll also be setting up joint ventures for myself and
my clients. Many of the top people in my industry will be
on the cruise and they are there largely to network, make
deals, and even create products. I’ll be working on all of
these things during the days when the ship is at sea.
I’m telling you about my cruise, because it’s a part of
the lifestyle that I’ve built for myself. I’ve worked
fairly hard over the past 13 years building not only an
online business but the LIFESTYLE that I want.
As I look at so many online marketers really struggling,
I have to ask myself why that is. Why do things now just
fall in place for me, but not for them.
I generally see three big reasons:
1) They are usually selling the wrong product or service.
They are marketing something that they like for whatever
reason, but that the market simply doesn’t. That’s easy to
fix.
If the product or service you’re marketing isn’t selling,
simply stop banging your head against a wall, and offer
things that your customers DO want.
2) They are unrealistic in their expectations, which leads
to them focusing on the wrong things. Don’t buy into the
myth of overnight success. It’s very rare.
Most of the very successful people that I know online
gradually built up to it by just applying common sense
business practices, and working at building their businesses
every day.
If it were as easy as some people would have you believe
then many doctors, lawyers, etc. would leave their high stress
jobs (where they ARE trading time for money) and become
online entrepreneurs.
The fact that more highly-educated, professionals haven’t
left their real world jobs (jobs that they often hate and feel
trapped in) and flocked to the Internet is empirical evidence
that it’s not as easy as the dream-sellers would have you
believe.
Your job is to get a realistic picture of what you can
accomplish,
and in what time-frame, flow it out, and then steadily work
towards that objective.
3) They over-analyze and over-complicate things. I personally
am a fairly uncomplicated person. With college training in
Economics and Business, I’ve been trained to see the world as
it is, NOT as I would have it be. So, I observe, make decisions
and then take action.
You will never have perfect information, or all of the data
that you feel that you need to make flawless decisions. So,
stop striving for that. Instead, you gather as much information
as is practical, QUICKLY analyze it, and then take the most
logical action. That’s how you move forward and get to where
I am.
Again, you don’t over-analyze. That will merely paralyze you
into doing nothing, and when you do nothing you don’t make
progress.
So, my big secret is that I don’t over-complicate things. I
observe, analyze, and make the best decisions based upon the
information that I have available. I haven’t always done things
that way. In fact, I once had a mentor who told me that I could
“complicate a ball bearing.” Then he taught me how to just take
action, and acknowledge that I would from time to time make
mistakes.
That’s life.
On the topic of what you should be doing or marketing online,
only you can answer that question. What do you enjoy doing?
What skills or specialized knowledge do you have? How much
spare time do you have?
I do want you to do yourself a favor, right now…
Get a copy of an ebook that I, and 17 co-authors, wrote called
“20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online – Working Only 1-2
Hours Per Day.”
This ebook was written by 18 of us authors. I and my friend
Dr. Mani, who is a pediatric heart surgeon, wrote two chapters.
We are both over-achievers 
In this ebook, we share with you very simple things that we do
online to consistently make at least $100 per day.
We wrote this ebook after I realized that most people who start
online businesses who in their spare time, would be perfectly
happy with an extra $3000 per month. I do much better than that
now, making well over $1000 most DAYS, but I didn’t start out
that way, and neither did most of my successful online friends.
We want you to start out with baby steps, and then when you
get things down, and see how easy it really can be, then you
look for ways to leverage what you are doing, and ways to
multiply your results… without having to work much harder.
Go ahead and get a copy of “20 Ways” now. You can get it at:
http://20Ways.org It’s a fairly inexpensive 247 page ebook.
We do have a 100% commission affiliate program in place so
when you get the ebook, you’ll see a link on the download page
to register as an affiliate.
After reading the ebook, simply write a review, and post it to
your blog, or your Facebook page, and when someone buys a
copy of the ebook through your affiliate link, 100% of the
purchase price will go directly to your Paypal account. That’s
how uncomplicated making affiliate sales can be. It’s not about
trying to convince someone that they want something that they
are convinced that they don’t want. It’s about telling
someone what YOU got out of a product, providing an honest
review.
Simple isn’t it? Get started now: http://20Ways.org
By the way, I’m scheduled to go on another cruise in August.
This cruise is being organized by one of my friends on Twitter,
and this will be the second annual occurrence of this particular
cruise. I went on it last year too, and had a blast.
If you get started now, maybe you can join us in August, where
we can network, brainstorm, and set up joint ventures… all
while having fun
Willie
