Internet Goldmine IV

How To Take Advantage of the Internet Goldmine

Well this is the last lesson in our series and I want to show you how you can make money online by taking advantage of the gold rush on the net.

Whatever you do don't miss what I am about to say in this article. It's very important.

If you have been trying to make money online you've probably heard over and over that the money is in the list. Well I want to take it a bit further and say that the money is really in your RELATIONSHIP with the list.

See you could have a list that you bought off of the net and it be worthless even if it was 10,000 names. But you could also have a list of 1000 people that you have helped over the months and you could pull decent profits with that list.

If I had to sum it up on how to take advantage of the gold rush on the net I would say that you first need a blueprint or a plan. Right now the net is begging for someone who will deliver some decent content without all the fluff.

You seriously could take advantage of this , but you need a plan. It's true if you fail to plan then you'll plan to fail. You will definitely need a blueprint to get you going.

Most people who email me ask me how to get started making money online and what steps do they need to take to build a profitable business. Seeing that most of these people are kind of new I wouldn't dare start them at some of the tools I use because it could be frustrating.

I think probably the best source out right now for anyone to build a profitable business is an e-book titled "The Success Revealed Project."

It is really good. Author Jessie McCloud shows how he was able to build a business into $140,000.00 a year just by doing simple steps and taking focused action. It's nothing spectacular that he is doing, but he does give a detailed step-by-step plan and blueprint for making money online.

And what's really good is that he gives you videos to show you how to do it too. (ahh.. a man after my own heart :)

It's really simple how he lays it out and he even gives the new person templates that they can use to make money as well.

Out of all the stuff out there I would probably tell someone to pick up a copy of his book to start raking in the 'gold'.

Remember the goal is to become a shovel seller and in order to do that the best way is to find someone who is doing it and can teach it easily.

To finish this report let me say that I want to encourage you to start something. You don't have to get it perfect just get it going. Most people fail on the net because the fail to do something.

Don't let that be you. Get off the sidelines and start raking in the gold. Pick a niche, build a list, offer good content, and make products to help that niche.

And once you've done it in that niche then start with another, and another, and so on.

Keep doing this and you'll be sure to take advantage of the internet goldmine.

Are You A Shovel Seller or A Shovel Buyer?

In part II of this series we established where the REAL gold is on the net or where the real money is made online.

I tried to give you an example of shovel sellers who would sell the tools needed to mine gold. It's no different on the net. However you need to find out if you are a shovel seller or a shovel buyer.

Now you might be both. I certainly am. However there are some people who never become shovel sellers. They are always buyers and that only means bad things for their bottom line if they want to make money online.

So what's the difference between a shovel seller and a shovel buyer online? Simple. Let me show you:

Shovel Buyers:

These people are those who always hear about opportunities and hop from this one to that one without any real commitment. They always have their credit cards in hand ready to buy the latest 'magic pill', but never follow through or apply what they have learned.

Most times you can see them constantly hanging out in forums and not getting any work done, but shooting the breeze with everyone.

They will be quick to try and down a product without even putting forth an effort for at least 30 days.

These people are shovel buyers.

Shovel Sellers:

Like the shovel buyers they hang out in forums, but for good reason. They spy on hot topics and see where people are frustrated. Then they begin to look for ways to monetize that frustration.

They look at how they can make life easier for those who try and make money online. They envision the tools and then they create them.

Finally they set up shop and make a killing month after month because of the mentality of the shovel buyer. Shovel sellers know that they have to go a little bit further than the shovel buyer if they want to make profits.

So they will work a few extra hours putting together packages that seem irresistible. They basically study the herd mentality of the shovel buyer and look to see how they can market to them.

While I could go on and on about the difference between the two, I'll stop right here.

In all sincerity, if you are going to make money online then you will have to become a shovel seller. You have to take it up a notch and learn to develop tools and products that solve the needs of the masses.

And then once you get in the arena where you become a shovel seller don't stop there. Start learning how to sell to the shovel sellers.

Be the first to come up with 'the drill' and then sell the rights to the shovel sellers who will in turn sell it to the masses.

However in Part II of this lesson I want to tell you where the gold really is on the net. If you take a step back you could probably see for yourself.

Okay here we go.

In the older days of the real gold rush people were ecstatic about the possibility of mining gold and it's no different on the net. However because of where and how the gold was hidden no person could just access it easily with their hands.

It took special tools to get to the gold. So there were persons who set up shops to sell picks and shovels so people could mine the gold.

Did you get that or did you miss it? If you missed it read the previous paragraph again.

See there was no guarantee that the prospect would find gold. But there was a huge possibility of people looking for gold and guess what these people would need? That's right. Picks and Shovels.

So the real and consistent money was made in selling the picks and shovels. And it's no different on the net. That is where the real money is made.

Let me give you an example:

Let's say Jane has found a way to crank out sites that make her $200.00 a month each. However it takes Jane 3 days to build each site and get traffic to each of those sites. In one month Jane can have a profitable website network of about 10 sites which is about $2000.00.

Not bad you say :)

Now let's say that Jane shares her blueprint with me and I am a programmer. After looking at her blueprint I design a program that does everything Jane did by hand, but instead of it taking 3 days to build one site and get traffic now it only take 3 hours.

And not to mention the software does most of the work.

Do you think Jane will want this tool? You bet she will and so will thousands of other people who are looking for 'gold' on the net.

So what did I just become now in that example?

You got it. A pick and shovel seller and people will be beating my door down to get my picks and shovels if they hear it will help them find gold on the net.

So in closing I'll ask you, "Are you shovel seller or a shovel buyer?

Find out in the next part .

There's Gold For The Takin'!

In the recent days past I have had some time to really ponder on a few subjects concerning making money online.

One thing I ask myself now is "Where have all the real newsletters gone?" What I mean by that is why does it seem that everyone and their mother is trying to emulate the latest trend offered by guru 'X'?

Now I am in no way stating that you shouldn't try to learn from the gurus, but I'll be the first to tell you that they are not giving up all their secrets or their tools.

If you got a tool from them it's most likely they have a tool similar to it, but that is more robust. If there's one thing I recommend it's that you WATCH what the guru's do to make money and NOT WHAT THEY SAY.

Think about that for a minute...

Okay, let's move on. :)

In this series I want to let you know that the Internet really is a goldmine and there's gold for the takin', but you have to know where to mine.

If most people online would learn that they have a brain they could create opportunities for themselves out of air. My problem often is that I see too many opportunities and don't know where to start sometimes.

I never lack for opportunities. Never.

Now you might be saying, "Edino, if you really think there's gold to mine on the net then prove it! Give us some of your ideas!"

Gladly. Here's a couple:

Desktop Recording:

Most people don't know how to do this or they don't have the time to do so. If you have a product that you purchased you can offer to make videos for other marketers who don't know how or who just do not have the time.

This will increase the value of their products as well as earn you a nice income stream.

Camtasia Software is the lead in the industry and costs about $300.00. A small investment for what it will return.

Audio Recording:

Offer e-book authors the opportunity to put their e-books on .mp3. You can charge a small fee for this and eventually get free products. Once you have clients coming in you can write your own e-book on how to put this business together for even more profit.

Of course you can record it too. ;-)

With a lot of free tools on the net you shouldn't have a problem getting this one done.

Now those are just a couple of ideas. If you can help make problems easier for marketers alone you could create a nice income.

There's truly gold to be mined on the net, but it will require some effort. If you are willing to put forth the effort you can have a nice 'chunk' of gold in your possession.
