Can You Really “Strike Gold” Online?

… This article won’t make me popular

Jim Edwards here with an article (below) I just published in
the newspaper…

I think it cuts down to the bone on some issues that will
probably make some people mad at me (oh well)…

You be the judge

By the way…

Go to this website right now and read every word of it!

8 of my online friends and I are getting together next
Tuesday night to raise money for hurricane relief.

Unlike other fund raisers where you pay money to the
vendor and you must trust them to turn the money over
to a charity (whether you like the charity or not)… in
our setup you donate DIRECTLY to the charity of YOUR CHOICE
and then get access to the call.

We never touch your money and it goes directly to the
charity of your choice the minute you donate.

ANY donation amount gets you on the call… and you then
gain immediate access to the call next Tuesday.

So please, check it out:

Thanks

Jim

PS – Contrary to popular belief, I did NOT have a heart
attack last week. I had an attack of atrial fibrilation
(“a fib”) which landed me in the hospital for a hair-raising
day.

They upped my medicine to the point that a rattlesnake
jumping out of my sock drawer would barely raise my pulse
by a beat… so I should be okay for the forseeable future.

Thanks to all who expressed your concern and offered your
prayers

Can You Really “Strike Gold” Online?

I guess human nature leads us to this about every 30 – 50
years.

As a history major, I studied the gold rush of 1849, the
19th century oil booms, the stock market hustles of the late
1920′s, the get rich-quick mail order schemes of the 1950′s
and 60′s and now the “Internet” gold rush of the late 1990′s
and early 21st century.

When people perceive someone else getting rich with little
or no effort, they jump on the band wagon seeking fame and
fortune.

In reality, in any “gold rush,” the ones who really get rich
represent the exception.

Unfortunately, people perceive those “exceptions” as the
rule, rather than the special cases they actually represent.

But, if you’re bound and determined that you can be one of
the “chosen few” who get rich online, the following tips
will save you years of frustration.

** Little Oil Wells **

Don’t try to get rich online with one gold
or oil “strike!”

Most people I know who do very well online
operate multiple websites targeting multiple niche markets.

They sell many products and make their money by creating
multiple streams of income rather than depending on a single
website to stake their claim for online riches.

** Solve Problems **

People go online to solve problems.

Whether they need to improve their job interview skills or
find a winter coat and hat for their Chihuahua, they want to
find products or knowledge they don’t currently possess.

The more pressing the problem, the easier and faster these
people will buy.

The easiest way to make a fortune online involves finding
the most severe problems you can and charging for the
solutions.

** Sweat, Not Money **

Most people want to throw money at a problem and hope that
will get them what they desire.

This fact keeps the “get-rich-quick” schemers in business.

However, the best way to make money online involves getting
your hands dirty, learning a market inside and out,
discovering what they want to buy and why, and then selling
it to them.

Contrary to popular belief, throwing money at a problem
often won’t solve it.

** Don’t Compete **

The fastest way to make a fortune online involves persuading
other people to sell your product or service for you as an
affiliate.

However, nobody sells a product or service for someone they
perceive as “competition.”

You must position your product or service in such a way that
others will eagerly promote it for you because they see you
as someone who complements what they already offer.

** Wants vs. Needs **

Circus and publicity guru, P.T. Barnum, expressed it best,
“People will spend their last nickel to have fun!”

People always find a way to buy what they want, but often
avoid spending on what they need.

** The Underwear Myth **

The “make money in your underwear at the kitchen table
working only 1 or 2 hours a day” represents the biggest
crock of !@#$% ever foisted on the public.

Anyone I know who makes a lot of money at anything, busts
their buns to get their projects off the ground.

Once they get a business up and running, it might only take
a couple of hours a day or week to keep it running, but they
worked their fingers to the bone to get things rolling.

And the real secret to their success: they repeat the
process over and over again!
