Be Careful Who You Listen To

Let me start by saying, as I've said MANY times before, that there are MANY ways to make money online and even some of my business partners do stuff in different ways to me yet still make a big income.

No one knows it all and never will.

And part of that last statement also means that just because one person has done something that has worked for a while certainly doesn't give them any authority to say something else doesn't work and their way is the only way.

So why this post?

When I first released Niche Money Makers one marketer was adamant the training wouldn't work... even though it had already generated 6 figure incomes and continues to do so - and will continue to continue to do so :)

What is relevant is to 'be careful who you listen to'

If stuff works for a short time - then you have a short time opportunity.

If it works on and off for short times you don't have consistency and without consistency you don't have financial planning, financial security, stability, freedom etc... and essentially you have a JOB not a business.

People who got the Niche Money Makers training have been killing it with commissions and emailing me all the time with their success... excited that they got something to work.

....as if I didn't know :)

WHY: Because it is a Safe BUSINESS plan and safe business plans don't fall down around you overnight.

Here's the deal - Google can and will change anything they like at any time but there is one thing that they have been CONSISTENT with ALL these Years... they want to deliver a good user experience to people searching the links in their listings... their search engine results.

The best way to give people a good user experience is to inform, help, advise, entertain... you know - the stuff that you would expect to find when you're looking for something.

Now here's the BIG problem... even when you offer people a quality experience, there's always someone who can come along and offer a 'shinier egg - a more golden, golden egg'

There will also always be more eggs getting added to the basket all the time and Google (and the other search engines) need to sort these eggs as best as they can.

Occasionally they will drop the basket and break some eggs and they could be yours.

If you only have a few eggs in the basket - you're toast... this is starting to sound like a breakfast menu, and to some extent you could end up with a dogs breakfast instead of an income.

Niche Money Makers gives you a lot of profitable eggs on many different tables and that is a recipe for success.

Please excuse all the puns... they seem to be flowing today for some reason :)

Maybe I've had too many coffees this morning.

Anyway - back on track... While Niche Money Makers gives you the chance to make a lot more money a lot more easily it is also a lot safer business model.

It's not high profile stuff that is always in Google's targets... you know the stuff - like  Acai Berry and the 'spammy' affiliate offers.

As an added bonus - the commissions are also a whole lot BIGGER, the competition is a whole lot LESS, the Ranking is a whole lot easier... and so much more, but I'm sure (if you've got NMM) you know all this and this post is not about promoting NMM but about helping you to understand how successful BUSINESS people create real BUSINESSES online.

Financial Security, Consistency, Value, Planning, Optimization of time and more... these are words that come into play when creating a BUSINESS rather than a JOB.

If you put all your eggs in one (or a few baskets) expect some breakages - that's life.

If there's a lot of people wanting a piece of the pie - expect some changes - that's life.

If there's opportunities to profit more easily and more consistently - that's good business.

Have a great day and be careful of what you listen to and what some people say... it could be detrimental to your wealth.

  1. Hi Geoff

    Thank you for sharing this. I haven’t build my NNM site yet, but will keep working at it. I will also keep in mind what you said about delivering good user experience:
    1) Inform
    2) Help
    3) Advise
    4) Entertain.

    That’ll be my reference point when I build my first NMM. I also remember you said I don’t need to do too much customising. Just get the website out. I’ve found some Blogger template that I can use for specific themes. I don’t think there’s a All-in-one SEO type of plugin for Blogger blogs.

    Thanks again for the advice.

    Regards

    • There’s no all in one seo plugin for Blogger but that doesn’t matter.
      Blogger blog templates are also easily changed if needed.

  2. ….and that’s why I listen to what YOU say and forget the other clap-trap!

  3. Hi Gangs,

    @C – Don’t spend to much time worrying about the format, just get the sites up.

    To follow the egg simile – its no good looking at the egg in the hope it will grow into a chicken either trade it for some beans and grow some crops or stick it in an incubator and help it hatch.

    I have made money from some really crappy sites – in my opinion, I have one on Blogger that has made $20 two St Patricks Days in a row. Time spent putting it up – 30 minutes. I have also put up an Operatic Tapdancing site Using Xsitepro – 200 pages woth on my own hosting – revenue.. $6 so it hasn’t even paid for the domain name yet…

    As Geoff has said elsewhere DO IT NOW!!!!!

    BTW Geoff is the only guy I actually get my wallet out for all the others are pale imatations…

    Regards

    Nick
