How To Make $3,000+ Per Month Quickly...

If I had to start all over again, here's what I'd
do to make 3k+ per month very quickly online.

It's just me, but this is the way I'd do it:

First, I believe the quickest way to get higher
on the income food chain is to take your
current assets and leverage them with other
people's assets in a win-win manner.

I would look at my strengths and weaknesses,
current resources, all areas of assets I have
right in front of me and work with what I've got.

So, if I did not have much money to invest...
or a big list already.. or contacts... or any of
that, I'd look at my skills and abilities (strengths)
first. And often, my strengths are what I enjoy
doing anyway.

If I look at my strengths (assets) I'd find I have
strengths in writing, copywriting, presentations,
product creation, conversions, advertising/traffic,
speaking and developing key relationships.

Yours might be different. My weakness is clearly
technical, amongst other things.

Therefore, what I'd do is most likely use writing or
copywriting to strike deals with others who are
already up there on the income food chain. I'd
find win-win deals with people who already have
a big list, a big reach, current customers, fans,
a following, etc.

These people can create income out of thin air
with their lists and following (customers).

I would approach them and ask if they'd be
interested in a deal where I do all the work
and they A) promote the product to their lists
and B) get others to promote the product as
affiliates (as long as they felt the product was
high quality and converted well).

My JV partner could put his/her name on the
product and market it as their own. My name
would be on the product too as a co-owner.

I bet all I'd have to do is ask 10 different people
and I'd get a deal that fit well for both of us.
win-win

I'd do all the work, outsource the tech part,
and all the pieces of the puzzle would be covered
at that point.

Launch, and the rest is history.

If it failed and did not do that great, or if the
partner flaked out, or whatever... I'd do it
again with someone else. And again. And again.
Even if it succeeded, I'd do it again.

I bet in less than a year, I'd be at 200k+ worth
of income. Why does this work?

One main rule:

In a rabid marketplace... you cannot possibly
create products fast enough... to keep up with
the buying demand of your market.

Think about that. Lets say marketer Bob has
a list of 100,000 followers. Bob can promote
Sally's product on Monday and Frank's product
on Thursday and people will buy both!

That means, all I've got to do is meet that demand
and create valuable products the market is already
interested in buying.

Here are the main areas of online business:

-- Traffic
-- Conversions
-- Product Creation
-- Technical

All of those can be outsourced too. All of those
are in demand too. All of those can be learned.
All four of those areas are the four key areas
to success online... especially the first two listed.

If you are strong at even just ONE of those areas,
you can make six figures quite quickly if you utilize
your assets and resources best.

In business, it's all about how you play the game...
and the way to play the game and perform well
is how good you are at utilizing your assets!

Someone may be great at copywriting and charge
$15k per salesletter. That person has a great way
to generate income.

However, if that same copywriter uses his/her
skills to land JV's and build strategic alliances
and ventures the RIGHT WAY, that copywriter
can make FAR more money and work FAR less!

One problem I see people have in this market is
they want the path of least resistance. They
refrain from creating products and they focus
on Adsense sites and simple blogs.

There's nothing wrong with that at all, but if
I wanted a quick six figures from starting over
from scratch, I'd find those who are already
there, and strike a deal. That's where a six
figure income can come --- virtually over night!

Respectfully,

Eric Louviere

PS - Did I say make 3k per month quickly in
the subject title? I meant 15k+ quickly. oops

  • If you look at the WSO section, you'll
    see that very quickly, the top post/offer
    will drop off page one in a matter of hours.

    That proves...

    You cannot possibly create products fast
    enough to meet the buying demand of
    the marketplace.

    • [2] replies
    • Sorry, Eric, I have to call BS on this.

      The buying demand of the marketplace doesn't actually move the WSO forum. The selling supply does.

      How fast the WSO forum moves does not prove that there is a demand. It only proves that there is a supply. That's like saying "obviously people are buying these products, store shelves are full of them."

      That's people selling these products. If people were buying the products, the shelves would be empty.

      There are three related problems here.

      First, the market is constantly changing. While you are creating your product, the market may change underneath you and make your product less valuable or even worthless. This happened with Zombie Blogging - by the time we got it out into the marketplace, changes were already in the wind at blogger.com, and the method continues to be less and less workable as time goes on. Still works, but the upper bound on income from it keeps dropping.

      Second, the market is inundated with so many products, it's very difficult for them to choose the product that will actually work for them. Right now, you go to the WSO forum, and you'll find one WSO after another about writing books for the Kindle. Most of these WSOs are effectively the same damn WSO, so they're splitting the market - even though there's much demand for "a product about writing for the Kindle," there's no obvious reason to choose this product about writing for the Kindle. I'm currently looking at Cory Friedman's product about it, and it's probably the eighth such product I've got on my hard drive.

      Third, nobody is complaining that products are coming out too slow. They're complaining that there are too many products, the products are too expensive, and the products are all alike. This actually means they do not see the product they want. This is compounded by the issue that newbies, in particular, do not know what they want - they're not experienced or educated enough to tell the pyrite from the gold.

      Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to produce what people want and make it stand out in the marketplace while it is still relevant.

      So the correct answer is to split those two jobs - "produce what people want" and "make it stand out in the marketplace" - between two people who are both good at their job. That allows each of them to concentrate on the job they're good at, which reduces time to market and makes the last part - while it is still relevant - a lot easier.

      So yeah, I agree with your entire OP. Just not with the idea that a fast-moving WSO forum helps prove your point.
      • [1] reply
    • That's why you have to develop and cultivate ways to drive traffic to that WSO.

      My one product is probably buried hundreds of pages back, however, I have hundreds of articles that link strait to it.

      It still makes sales.
  • The concept is really fascinating but you'll also need to make a product of a quality which a person with 100,000 subscribers would promote. Having such a huge list means a mark of repeated delivery of quality and he wouldn't wanna feed his list with even "above-average" stuff. It will be a great deal if it goes through smooth but the strings are majorly held by the one with the list. Its you who needs him more and not vice-versa.
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
    • [3] replies
    • Anyone.... yep ANYONE... can create a product of high value.

      If I had to start over, I would not mind finishing in second place and allow someone else to hold the strings, if that meant I would make far more money (quicker) than I would otherwise. It's like finishing in second place -- in order to have a first place income.

      Not to mention, that person with a 100k list (or 50k or 10k or whatever) is just a person like you and me. Just a person, who cannot possibly create products fast enough to meet the demands of the market (or his/her lists).

      Any way you slice it, it's speed and it's money and money loves speed.

      Eric

      PS - It's just the way I'd do it, that's all.

  • This is good for a QUICK burst of income, but I like to build up my PASSIVE, RECURRING income. It's like I am building my retirement fund! A quick hit of $3000 is nice, but I would prefer adding $500 a month to my monthly income
    • [2] replies
    • Jeremy, you are completely missing the point of his post.

      You not only gain 3,000 dollars immediately - you also gain:

      1. A possible buyers list.
      2. A small network of partners.

      You would then turn around and 1 week to 1 month later do it again - but this time with the leverage behind you - you could do 6 grand or 15 grand.

      Or, you could take that 3 grand, put it into hiring a small team - a writer, SEO person, and some software - you can now do as you like.

      Or ideally, you do both - continue to build up your product line, build up your search engine rankings, as well as launch a new product a month.

      I figure that doing all three of these things, you could go from nothing to 15k to 30k a month in about 4 months, with ease, if that is what you are doing.

    • You need to read the report in Eric's sig. The one he tells you not to read.

      Of course, no one tells moi what I can't do - so I had to subscribe (again) and read those reports (again). And it was well worth it (again).

  • I think the reason why walls immediately went up is because (IMO) the warrior forum "newbies" has been trained to start small. WSO and free posts on "how to make $1, $5, $10... per day" are more often than "how to make $100k/day"... Somehow we've been trained that the idea of making $100k/day is only for gurus, and that only a few digit income is the only "realistic" one.
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
    • [2] replies
    • A lot of that has to do with what people are already "trained" to believe, though.

      5 dollars a day seems easy. And when you've worked at jobs your whole life, you are used to, well, employee salary ranges.

      Thats why a WSO that says "Earn 1 million a MONTH" is far less "believable" than "Earn 1,000 a Month"

      A lot of People see those numbers and imagine some snotty, undeserving "rich" person...because there are two types of people: rich and poor.

      It's a mindset thing - we are who we are and we can't earn anymore than it.

      That's why if you want to increase sales, you double your selling price and half your earnings expectations.

      10,000 a month and only 47 dollars? That isn't realistic...

      5,000 a month and 97 dollars? Yeah, I can see that...

    • it is really true. i have been in this site for about one and half month. i am always concentrating on getting 5-10$ per day. but when i read this post, my mind have just tilted to catch the big fish now. for a newbie like me $3000 per month is a huge income for me. but many affiliate program like clickbank,maxbounty and some other affiliate program do not run their business in our region. yes i do not like adsense.
  • Eric, I love this thread and thanks Rob and James for your contributions!

    Some years ago I decided I would write my first book - but not any old book...it had to be one that would net me six figures. Straight out of the gate for an unknown author that seemed ridiculous but I did it. How? By adopting the right mindset and focus - nothing and no-one was going to get in my way.

    You guys have reinforced my belief that the same focus works equally as well online and it's a fabulous blueprint that Eric has laid out.

    You can do it.

    I can do it.

    We can do it.

    All it takes is stepping beyond belief into that killer focused zone.
  • I do think we limit ourselves by predetermining what we *think* we can or cannot do. Most people are afraid of taking risks or doing the work it takes to get beyond a $1 a day mindset. This post has given me lots of food for thought!
  • I totally agree with you Eric!

    Thanks for this great post as I was just considering something similar myself. I have to admit that it is so easy to jump from business opportunity to business opportunity. There's a new WSO that looks so "shiny" or a new method that you read on a blog or something similar and you think "wow this is an exact method that I can copy and then I'll make $50/day!". I don't buy too many WSO's but I do jump around quite a bit. I have probably tried almost EVERY IM METHOD IN THIS FORUM!
    I have made a decent amount online thus far and I won't lie about it but my profits could be higher if I focused my time on the tasks that are most rewarding. I had an Adsense site that made $1/day but then my Adsense got halted because I did not put in the confirmation code correctly for payments to be sent so now they think I live out of country or something. Also I had these little ideas for sites that I put up with the mindset of "oooh if I can make $1/day from this site with adsense/cpa then I'll be so happy!" Pffff what a horrible mindset!
    I also did some offline marketing but then realized it probably wouldn't work for me because I am only 17 and have to go to school and do other activities so I can't do like face to face appointments/ telephone calls very easily either. I did land a guy for $500 a month but am still waiting for him to send payment to get started because he is " busy."

    Another thing I am interested in is Domain Flipping. I think that you MUST have a great sense of what a good domain name is or else you will fail. I have done a lot of reading on Rick's blog, Elliots Blog, MorganLinton.com, and others. Also DomainSherpa.com has some great videos of interviews with some of the best domainers in the industry including Morgan Linton, Ron Jackson of Dn Journal, Andrew Rosener of Media Options, and a few others. I think that buiding wealth in domains can be achieved even when starting out low but you MUST have a good eye for picking domains whether you are developing them or flipping them.

    So that being said, I bought the BringtheFresh course by Kelly Felix and Mike Long and it made me realize that you can make millions only by building a business (theres was info products). Same with the Millionaire Fastlane which is a highly recommended book that I hope you all buy if you want to change your MINDSET but you could get the same idea right in this thread!
    You need to find a market that already has a demand! Already has a SHORTAGE, and fill in the gap! That is how you take money out of thin air.
    Who are the millionaires in the world? I don't know anyone that becomes a millionaire so fast without running their own business. You need to find a problem in a market and capitalize on it or create a new market to solve a problem that has no existing solutions. That is Marketing 101!

    Thanks again for this thread Eric. Money is all about mindset.

  • Making huge sums of money has more to do with timing than anything else IMO. It's certainly possible to pull it off, but it takes an insane amount of luck and work.

    • This is an exact example of the mindset I'm talking about.

      "There are two types of people: rich and poor, lucky and unlucky..."

      Money is made through planning, skill and coordination, nothing more.

      Bill Gates didn't have any money when he started Microsoft. He had a plan though - sell his software to a big computer maker. That was it - Joint Venture with computer makers - make them see the value in his software.

      And he did before he had even developed the platform.

      We all know the story, he got the contract because he sold them on the benefits.

      He then took that money, quickly got a prototype up and went for it.

      Let's look at another example:

      Huffington. She leveraged her business savvy, got 1 million in investment money and moved Huffington Post to a 300 million dollar "site flip".

      And how about another:

      Sam Walton had a dream of having every Wal Mart everywhere. He knew that he could do it if he followed three things:

      1. Lowest price around.
      2. Treat employee's like owners.
      3. Treat customers with respect.

      He then went on and developed/planned and grew the biggest chain today.

      There are plenty of examples where it could seem like "luck"...but I like to make my own luck.

      How?

      By not quitting. If I keep trying, doing the right things (like finding holes in the market, developing strategies to supply those holes, and then scaling for growth), I will hit the "big time" - luck will come. It's a strong statistical probability, if I do what I said above.

  • I don't think just any newbie marketer could go along and do something like this. It truly takes a business mindset to go ahead and make some real money. Doesn't really matter what the business is but you have to think on a bigger scale to make more.

    Wanna make 5K?

    Sell 715 copies of a $7 product. or... 295 of a $17 product.

    Easy enough right?
  • Cool thread... turned into a more important thread on mindset.

    A friend once told me that we learn a lot at school but nothing about money and finance.

    That, we acquire from our parents.

    I'm not saying you dont have to work hard but... I definatley grew up feeling like you had to work hard just to earn enough to survive. With a silly attitude that it was very cool to be tough, working class... no one wants to be a floppy haired rich boy who wears silly clothes and speaks with a funny accent (think Royal Family in the UK).

    Daft mindset when it's not just how hard you work... it's how you spend, focus and leverage your time.

    Still learning and breaking old mindsets.
  • P.S. Someone said that our brains are filled with concrete and bull****.

    You have to smash through the concrete and clear out the bull.... only to find another layer and another and another.

    We have so many silly, illogical, pre-conceived ideas that make no sense what so ever that hold us back (eg. fears and excuses not to suceed).

    • I have actually done this so I can say from experience that this does in fact work. This is one of these threads that you who are in need should put into action.
      • [1] reply
  • I plan to do this almost exact same technique after I start making a little money .. it really is the quickest way to get up there and start making money. Always use the leverage of others whenever you can.
  • I just thanked you.Got a very valid point about JV, i completely forget that.Thanks again.
  • I absolutely agree with what you say about making deals with other marketers. One of the most common mistakes people do is try to do everything by themselves.
    Outsourcing is also important.
    Many people say: do it all by yourself, make money and THEN outsource, JV, whatever...
    I think this is a mistake. I say: outsource all the activities you don't enjoy doing or you are not good at from day 1, and concentrate on the things you like, because if you wait for the day you will take massive action and do everything by yourself, that day might never come!
    In offline businesses is much more common to make deals with other people and to outsource but for some reason it is not done much when it comes to online businesses.
    Conclusion: Work with other people! You'll be much more successful!!!!!
  • You know, I don't spend a lot of time on this forum these days.

    Fact is, I've been far too busy tied up working... both for myself and for clients.

    I don't know what prompted me to visit here today, but man... am I glad I did.

    Eric... this is probably the best post I've ever read on this forum. Seriously.

    I've been brainstorming how to scale up my operation lately and one thing I've had to accept is I can't do it all.

    I'm a great copywriter... and a pretty sharp marketer. I've put together some killer promotions, and made a lot of clients a lot of money.

    That's my strength... my forte... my "thing".

    Traffic? I don't really know a lot about it. I have some fundamental ideas, but learning everything from scratch would take me a long time.

    Product creation? Sure, I *can* do it... but I'd much rather partner with someone who is already an expert in that market and can give years to insight both to me as a marketer and to his/her customers... who has real verified experience to set them apart from the pack.

    Technical stuff? I'm reasonably tech-savvy, but complicated issues take me a long time to solve. I'd rather pay someone else to do that stuff for me.

    So what I'm doing now is teaming up with other people who specialize in areas I don't to create some truly special offerings.

    It's a lesson people have told me over and over... but one that has just begun to finally sink in.

    Anyway Eric... I wanted to publicly thank you for such a great post. This is the real life-changing stuff people should be listening to... and I hope they do.

    • Hi Eric,

      I agree with the crux of your post, but there's one part I don't understand -

      Firstly -

      Secondly -

      Thirdly -

      So in the first part, you're saying that anything can be outsourced, including product creation.

      In the second part, you're saying that the people with the big lists can create income out of 'thin air'.

      But in the third part, you're saying that these people need others to create products for them because 'you cannot create products fast enough to meet the buying demand of the market.'

      If they can create money out of thin air and product creation can be outsourced, then surely they CAN create products fast enough to meet the buying demand of the market? They just outsource it, rather than diluting their most powerful weapon (their list) by allowing other marketers to take and then pound those subscribers in exchange for product creation?

    • Good point there and thank you for sharing this for us
    • Nice, straight to the point post. This would be the same thing, find JV
      partners, build my list and create more products. Go where the money
      and traffic is already and position yourself infront of it
  • Nice tips, JV with others at the top of the food chain is how people like Anthony Robbins started out, ofcourse the difficult thing is getting them to agree, which is where good people skills come into play
  • There are so many ways to earn more then 3000$ monthly now a days people can join so many affiliate program or mlm programs to earn money fast and easily
  • this is very well said Eric, probably i would consider doing the same thing if i just start out on the IM.
  • The moral of the discussion for me is: "Do not be afraid to ask."
  • Thanks for your great idea i will follow you very soon good luck.
  • Wow, you're only aiming for 1 million?

    8 figures would do me much better
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • nice ideas here, thanks mate
  • I think Eric is one of those guys you should listen to when he posts on the forum. He's the real deal, in my opinion.

    I have had some experience just in the last week of leverage, and it kind of fell in to my lap, so to speak.

    And it really kick-started a campaign of mine and made me far more money than I could have made on my own.

    Pretty killer advice!

    Partner with others and watch your income go up and up. That's the key to really kill it, I believe.

    I think there are two huge ways to get a lot of traffic and sales, fast. One is with paid traffic and you better become an expert to do it right! The other is simply formulating relationships or agreeing JVs and benefiting from someone else's reach, a reach that would take you months and months or even years to create by yourself, but you can have it, today.

    Which one would you choose?
  • I always believe if you dont have money, you should have atleast "belief in yoursself" to make IM working for you. After that, you need skill. I do not think you can make money without skill.

    However, have fun in whatever you do. The worse thing which world taught you is "you are average brain and you can't reach heights" . Thats worse thing which teachers, parents, friends teach individual. Truth is, average brain with some sort of action taking abilities can do wonders.

    Great post Eric.
  • "Well, it's no trick to make a lot of money... if what you want to do is make a lot of money."
    --Bernstein; Citizen Kane

    I've read through this thread many times and plan to put your initial advice into practice, and an area and technique I've never really thought of, so much thanks for that

    I've also realized I've already done what you said in an unrelated goal I had that involved making a website. There was no monetary reward for this, but something totally different that has been continually rewarding for me to pursue and create. I did it by cutting through the noise as you stated above.

    I looked at what I wanted to do(my original short term goal-have a certain celeb follow me) and figured out who they followed and why. The website expansion was already being built at the time and I was a nobody in the community, so how do I make this happen? I basically researched the field as completely as I knew how. I set out to doing it since, as you stated, it was something I really wanted. Short term, but a needed first step.

    I've succeeded in this small task, twice. They've unfollowed, but admitted they weren't aware it had happened since half their Following list was cut, and Followed back later. I've gone much further in a short time than I ever thought possible, more than even competing webmasters I'm in contact with thought possible.

    Two small things. WANT. You have to want it. ACTION. Start now, even if you're not ready. With those 2 things the impossible can be accomplished in a much shorter time than you thought.

    I've yet to apply this application to making money online effectively, but I'm determined to make that change now.
  • Right on, Eric!

    During Christmas season of 2005, Keith Wellman
    did this very thing with Gary Ambrose.

    Keith wrote and produced two products that Gary
    marketed as his own.

    Keith's own product (Affiliate FX) launched in June of
    2006, did over 95K in the first 5 days (according to
    what Keith said at Michael Penland's Super Conference
    in Orlando) with help from Gary and his friends.

    And it doesn't have to be a Frank Kern, or Mike Filsaime,
    or an Armand Morin that you partner with.

    There are tons of marketers out there without the
    big "guru" name that have lists in the hundreds of
    thousands that carry a lot of stroke when it comes to
    pushing out a product.

    Michael Rasmussen's name doesn't come up in the
    casual discussion of the "gurus", but I'd give a Yankee
    dime to get him to promote one of my products.

    People are constantly asking "Why isn't it happening?"
    and they need to be asking "How can I make it happen?"

    Excellent thread, Eric. I really appreciate you.

    Michael

    • Hi Eric,

      Thanks for the reply.

      I also agree with CD's point but -

      ...if you just want a 'ra-ra' chest-thumping thread with no intelligent conversation, then we probably won't end up getting anywhere and you'll end up labelling me in the same way. Perhaps me and CD need to add more meme/cartoon photos to our posts?

      In reply to me, you said -

      Because -

      a) he can create money out of thin air (IE he's got plenty for outsourcing)

      b) he can outsource everything

      c) by doing JVs he is diluting his list, because the JV partner knows what he is doing and will pound those subscribers

      Therefore he STILL gets the money he desires when he outsources, but he doesn't dilute his list.

      It doesn't matter if the market demands 50, or 100, or 1000 new products a day. That's what he wants. He simply outsources it. What he DOESN'T want is a savvy marketer getting hold of his subscribers and diluting the potency of his list.

      ..........

      Onto CD's point -

      You said, in reply -

      Plenty of people do. This forum has a high turnover of members, which is apparently accelerating. There are more and more people looking to utilise the popularity of the WSO forum and more and more blogs and products recommending that people do so. You can see it every day here, people making threads asking -

      'I was told that the WSO forum is a great way to make money in a WSO I bought. I want to make a WSO. I want to teach people the great secret I have discovered about making money that makes me 1000s a day. What is this HTML thing people are talking about that I need to understand?'

      You also see threads made by people whos WSOs have bombed asking why they bombed because the seller has no idea. The usual answer is that there's too much steak and not enough sizzle. They need to make more outrageous income claims and mention the 'easy button.'

      More and more people are making WSOs. It has nothing to do with demand, but much more to do with desperation from the growing amount of sellers.

      Therefore I agree with CD that the WSO forum does not prove that sellers can not meet the demand of the market. As you pointed out, with enough cash and the ability to outsource everything, in theory one seller could dominate the whole WSO forum.

      Hi Mike McAleer,

  • Hi Eric,

    I'm truly inspired by your post; it has honed my belief system further. Your writing skills are excellent and its quite obvious you are already successful in this business. I will focus more on my strengths and the things I enjoy doing (traffic generation). My main goal is to create a product that will take the industry by storm. I'm a complete newbie to internet marketing; just started building a list from scratch 3 weeks ago and I currently have 94 subscribers mainly from free and low budget ads. My ultimate target is to build a list of 1 million active subscribers and your posts has definitely increased my confidence and desire to realize my goals thank you.

    • Hey Eric,

      Just want to say that I've enjoyed this thread and your op. It makes sense to me.

      Here's something that I think you should look into and I know on the surface it may seem like the craziest thing in the world. But... I really think that you and Roger should JV with each other or at least come together and create a joint product.

      I'm really serious about this. The energy between you two could create something very powerful and helpful to many.

      Now the question becomes, can you and Roger consider something like this? Hey just asking and noticing.

      Thanks again for the op.

  • In a week of eye-openers, this is one of the best! Thanks, Eric.

    I'm listening to an interview Tony Robbins did with Jay Abraham, and
    he talks about the 3 critical things that anyone looking for massive
    success needs:

    #1 - Become an absolute MASTER at what you do

    #2 - Have a target or goal to work towards (it must be clear,
    specific and compelling)

    #3 - Overcome self-limiting beliefs

    For the past two days, I've been pondering these issues - and came to
    a semi-conclusion about 2 things to work on... when I read Eric's post
    and realized ONE of them is more important than the other, at this time.

    Joint Ventures have done so much for my business and non-profit work
    over the years.

    Yet, I've allowed some slightly negative experiences, and perception
    shifts by folks whom I should never have permitted to influence my
    thinking, to turn me off seeking JVs.

    Looking back over the last 5 years, I've only worked with people I know
    very well, and feel won't turn down my requests for partnering on
    promotions.

    Getting outside that 'comfort zone' is getting TOP priority now, after
    reading Eric's amazing post.

    Many people can look to hearing from me soon - with an offer you can't
    refuse. And that includes YOU, Eric

    You rock, man! Thanks for the inspiration.

    All success
    Dr.Mani

    P.S. - @ccmusicman - Rob, your posts on the thread are pretty inspirational
    too, thank you

    P.P.S. - I'm also brushing off my copy of Jay Abraham's JV course!

    • Eric is reminds me of the cliche "dumb like a fox" and I mean that as a compliment.

      Let's take the title of his OP..."How To Make 3K per month quickly..."

      I'm curious how many people immediately took that figure literally and brainstormed ways to create 3K per month? Not 5K. Not 1K But baby....3K?

      "If I had to start over."......and this line alone is why Eric is one of the smarter dudes out there. This line is among the best triggers out there....

      Not only did he provide value in regards to what HE WOULD DO...he set the cheese in the "mouse trap" for the rest of you to bite on.......and Jarrett....that was a bad ass post dude.....as were some others.

      And of course some were as limp as white bread...but that's cool too.....

      Everyone including me bothering to post.....are doing so because we were engaged via the headline and the post.....otherwise why bother? Capiche.

      "IF I HAD TO START OVER....."

      (WARRIORS...this line alone is brilliant because it will bring out the most brilliant and out right dumbest **** you've ever read......and when it comes to market research...this line alone is about as cost effective as it gets.

      I used the same premise as a test.... on a ridiculous post long ago called "Vegas Vince: help me monetize my canoe trip across America"..... think that was the title....it was and remains a classic post....it's still up here somewhere....

      And believe it or not....I got some great suggestions for a canoe trip that was not possible. lol

      I honestly wanted to see how many ideas I could get for what amounted to an IMPOSSIBLE JOURNEY.....and boy did I get some. Most very good. And I learned a lot about human nature and the need to hang in packs....cuz no offense.....a lot of really smart Warriors "bit" on something they should have known better then to believe from the jump street.

      To answer Eric's question......is tough.....because the majority of today's IM clique focus on tactics rather then strategies. It's called ass backwards marketing....and guys like Gary Halbert are rolling in their respective graves.

      Everyone brings something unique and original to the the table....and in the end you have to sell **** people want. Period.

      Sadly the majority of peeps waste a lifetime on tactics....bells and whistles that change on a daily basis.........and mediums don't make you rich. They simply deliver your offer. And your offer better be good.

      Good enough to get someone to bang their credit card or steal their old lady's card while she's napping.

      Joint Ventures are always a great starting point...and Jay is a master of pitching the theory behind them......but the notion that a friggin' dumb ass, clueless loser can make money via the joint venture route while possible....in theory.....is unlikely in reality.

      Here's Vinnie's spin:

      1. Rather then starting over....START WHERE YOU ARE.

      Leverage what talent you have....and everyone has something to offer....yet many turn into the starving artist.....the guy who paints beautiful pictures....but can't or wont sell them....and wonders why they come and repo is furniture.

      Point? Many of you undervalue your talents. I am tech clueless....those of you who aren't0000 impress guys like me.....yet often can't impress yourself....and it's tough to sell with that mind set. Or you just figure everyone can do what you do......wrong.

      2. Never come at a potential JV partner like a backstage groupie with her panties in hand....that's the "victim mentality" that leads no where.

      I've done JV's with some pretty big names......not cuz I begged but cuz I flat out said....you're gonna mail this for me....because it's perfect for your list....(and then I back it up by letting them know in some cases...more about their list then THEY know.)

      A big player can sniff out desperation like a blood hound.....so don't give him or her the chance.

      3. If you don't have the balls to go in believing you are at least 50 % of the venture.....you are gonna end up getting a 9 to 5 job.

      4. Flip open the Yellow pages one day to a random company.....close the book. Open it again....and flip to another random company. Now force yourself to find the connection. A little brilliant exercise in badassery from my friend Azam Meo......who promised it would make me smarter and it did.

      It also forces you to find a connection....and believe me there's always a connection even if you can't see it at first.

      5. Stop looking at Internet Marketing, Twitter, FaceBook as business ventures unto themselves when in fact they are nothing more then mediums to get your OFFER OUT THERE.

      6. And start with the OFFER.....because without it....what do you have but 999 ways to get peeps to your face book page.....which means jack ****....if you don't have a compelling offer to SELL THEM.

      Stop focusing on tactics and focus on strategy........cuz the same strategy used by Claude Hopkins a zillion years ago in regards to metrics has NOT changed at all since.

      And how interesting that the Fords, Carnegies, and Johnny Rock....got rich without a friggin' twitter account. Or Pay Pal.

      Sell **** people want. Preferably stuff they can't live without.....don't ever devalue your talents or feel the need to kiss ass to make a jv possible. Position yourself from a foundation of strength....and grow a set peeps.

      Tactics aint where the money is. And yet most focus on them......like a magic wand that sadly changes shape and size almost daily.......and prevents you from doing what you must do: get in the market place and sell something....people want.


      Great post Eric.......I bit.


      Success 2 you'se all.

  • Eric Louviere - The real badass of Warrior Forum! Your posts are always great. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
  • I often wonder why Internet Marketing doesn't get more main stream exposure - especially in this economy where jobs are so sketchy in so many sectors. Perhaps it's the big claims that make people skeptical, which is understandable (I was one of those people and still am when I see outlandish claims).

    I think the concept presented in this post is about leveraging your time and effort in the most efficient way possible and that is a good strategy that is hard for many people to grasp - especially those that don't understand how the Internet works and how accessible it really is.

  • I agree with everything you say, however, I have to say,(my opinion only) is that i now truly believe CPA is by far the simplest and quickest way to earn online,
  • nothing is fast in this world, everything must pass through a process.
    either long or quick, everything must go through a process.
  • The main thing I got from the original post by the OP in this thread is "All you have to do is ask." And that getting JVs with the right people in your niche is extremely important.

    I've been horrendously slacking on my attempts to get JVs. I thought I could do it all myself, stubbornness I know, but it's kept me from quitting Still, JVs seem to be an element I was missing. I knew about it, but never did action there. Knowledge without practice will get you nowhere. I'm a perfect example.

    The JV is outside of my comfort zone too. Looks like I need to get over that.
  • Great ideas!

    Just gotta find someone to partner with
  • Well this topic proves once again that if someone offers up real advice that is spot on, the masses will over-analyze the language used, looking for any shred of weakness so they may spend more time challenging the core idea based on the nuances instead of actually pursuing the strategy (any strategy) for real success.

    Looking for reasons to not pursue success seems to be a major pastime of a lot of folks here.
    • [ 5 ] Thanks

    • I agree, his advice was spot on. I didn't over-analyze it. In fact, I
      read his advice and took about 5 minutes to think of an idea for
      something. I contacted someone and the next day heard back from
      this person. Now we are on for a JV. There's another possibility, too.

      If you look at post #94, Eric was talking about me. I sent him the PM
      to thank him for the post. Actually, I told him the idea was not new
      to me, and it wasn't, but for some reason his post resonated with me.
      The planets sort of lined up, and it all happened very quickly.

    I'm very, very new in internet marketing and I have many questions:
    If anybody knows some kind of effective tool to market, promote websites, please let me know from where to start
    Thanks for your kind attention,
    Sincerely,
  • ROFLMMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!

    Awesome Eric. Well played.
  • Here is what it takes to be successful:

    Proven business model
    Hard work
    Belief

    I think that most people need to first learn about the Law of Attraction to be successful. Thoughts mixed with feelings become things. Too many people write this off a mumbo jumbo. But the fact is that atleast 90% of people are not achieving their heart's desire. Keep an open mind that is ready to learn and adapt.

    There are tons of ways to make money online. Choose one and stick to it!

    Here is my favorite. Build an email list and promote affiliate products to that list.

    Peace and Love,

  • I think it just takes the following to make $3000+ Per month.

    2. Determination
    3. Sticking to your plan

  • see this is a great post. I love reading this.

    Dunno how the newbies can complain with this sort of stuff here.

    The answers are out there you just gotta find them.
  • I am a technical guy...let's connect!
  • Making money online can be complex but as long as you have some place to start then one can be okay.

    I found a problem with most people that try and get into this "carrier field" is that they keep getting excited of the newest things of what is happening and they do not focus on one thing.

    What I say to anyone that I coach is that you should think hard about what you wanna get into and that way you will be focused on it

    Great Post
  • Easily the best thread I have read so far in my short time on the WF. Thank you Eric and all the others who have contributed. I find it amazing how we confine ourselves with our own limiting beliefs when everything we want is there for the taking. I hope everyone gets as much value, inspiration and as many ideas from this thread as I have!!
  • Build a list!
    Generate traffic via Facebook PPC if you know how to market on FB.

    If you don't have the money to start. Head on over to fiverr and pick up a 50 dollar coupon, i think u can also get them on ebay.
  • eric you certainly think like a businessman - thats business gold you're reeling off!
    i completely agree that confidence plays a massive part in success - having confidence to partner with someone is a big leap of faith in your own abilities, after all, its one thing to let yourself down but letting your partner down....
    also i think having a partner spurs you on to strive for more, you could get too complacent just working for yourself..."i really must write that article, but i'll just check facebook first..". if you have a partner waiting on your input, thats a great deadline maker!
  • Hi Eric, here's a quick question. I am thinking of producing my own product soon. My question to you is what do you think if some of the information which I will be providing in the ebook can be found on the net. Is it still good to go?

    Basically I am creating a recipe book. While most of the recipes in my book cannot be found online however there are some which can be found online. Is it still wise to carry on with the project?

    Fyi, I have checked the keywords related to this recipe book and the searches per month are massives...

    Please give me some input if you can. Thanks

    • I remember years ago, my wife was looking for drop shippers for a specific series of products. Each day, she spent an hour or two researching online. Then, one day she was all excited because she found a "list" of wholesale distributors and manufacturers and drop shippers online for like $30 or so.

      She bought it.

      It saved her who knows how much time. Even though all those "wholesalers" were found online free, she bought it anyway because it saved her time. Plus, the person selling that list could have added on value by saying something like "these are all the wholesalers I could find and I've tested most of them and they almost all drop ship"... or other value-added befefits.

      The point is, even though some stuff can be found free online, you can still sell. As long as you have rights I guess (I'm no attorney see Brian Kindsvater).

      All in all, it's all about value. You exchange value for money. You should strive to provide more value than the price tag is asking for. Value can come in many forms. But, people buy because of value (desires and needs and wants).

      --People buy to become more comfortable and for things that make life easier.
      --People buy to save time
      --People buy to save from expending effort (path of least resistance)
      --People buy for vanity
      --People buy to look more beautiful and feel better about themselves
      --People buy entertainment
      --People buy to secure basic human needs (shelter, food, water, security, peace of mind,etc)
      --People buy out of curiosity
      -- etc

      (damn, this should be its own thread)

      But in marketing, it's all about presentation. Yes, the haters can hate all over that statement right there. I can hear them already. I can smell them coming from a mile away, ready to bash and challenge and twist and spin and twirl and confuse.

      But make no mistake about it... IT IS ALL ABOUT FREAKING PRESENTATION!

      Does GoDaddy need those models acting the way they do to sell domain names? Axe? How is Donald Trump in real life? Does Kern really surf and is as lazy as a stoner? Does the shake weight really work? What about those "anti snore" devices, pure sleep or something? Apply directly to the forehead.

      "If extends did not work, could we afford to send you free samples?"

      "In just 3 quick steps, you can make $400 per day by this weekend!"

      "The 4 hour workweek"

    • Eric,

      Your OP and subsequent posts are eye openers in many ways. The problem with most people is that they have been conditioned to think small and demand less. They have been taught to be happy and thankful for what they have. Most of them are afraid of thinking big. This may perhaps have something to do with avoiding the possibility of disappointment.

      But truly successful people have the courage to take it to the next level - to reach for the moon - I don't use the word 'capacity,' because I believe that all of us have the potential, if only we try. They keep on going until the dream becomes a reality.

      I'm a perfect example of thinking big and my goal is to achieve $30,000/month by mid 2012. But I'm not proud of this, as I've been analyzing myself and found that I'm comfortable with my dream - it is something that just makes me feel good. I don't seem to be kicking in with a vengeance to make things happen.

      Reading your post opened my eyes to the possibilities and I see myself achieving what I've set out to.

      This is the best post I've read in a long, long time.

      Regards,

      Usha

  • I am a complete newbie ( been involved in IM for around 5 Months) i bought 5 turn-key blogs and had the articles re-written and the pages optimised.

    My plan is to buy another 17 and have 20 blogs total with the goal of having Adsense for each one and CPA and Affiliate offers.

    Ill get to the point- My goal is to make $3000 a Month which is what led me to read Erics post.

    After reading this post and all your expert comments based on all your vast experiences in IM i want to Thank Eric and all of you for causing a 'Shift' in my mindset at this early but yet influential stage in my online career. I strongly believe that the power of this thread has saved me time and added to my future earning potential.

    • I love this idea at it's core, but it's got some serious challenges to implementation.

      The outlay is extremely great to attract worthwhile partners that still have all the power to rake you. So #1 know really well who you're dealing with and CYA as best you can.

      In fact, this very same concept has resulted in several bad dealings that have set me back quite a bit in time and money.

      But in life, big risk, big reward. If you can risk the time, don't make a huge $ commitment, and protect your weaknesses it can pay off big.

      So with that, if any hotshots are reading just hit me up and I'll be your digital slave in exchange for a little name badge on YOUR new site.

    • I would have to say great post. I don't need to 100% agree with everything said to get something out of it.

      And I do think everyone who reads it can grab some piece of info out of it that can be useful in their future or present ventures.

      For me it was more about "leverage". I am in-process of using leverage myself in a similar way within my niche and the potential is enormous. For years I was a very self involved marketer thinking I needed to control everything and know HOW to do everything myself. What I learned through many mistakes is that I just need to understand the principles, and outsource the items I don't want or have time to do.

      We ALL have some specific skill set that makes us valuable, we all know people or have access to people with complimentary skills. We all have the potential to tap those resources. What we all DON'T have is the mindset to let some control go,use that leverage and think big. Took me 2 years.

      This thread and all posts are the reason I still frequent this forum. Kudo's to Eric and all those who contributed on each side of the fence. Any post that makes you THINK is good in my book!

    • Fascinating thread.

      And even though I'm late to the party, I'll make a post.

      Doing JV's has been around forever.

      Of course it's an excellent way to leverage your talents with others who have
      different but equally valuable skills.

      The collective is stronger than the individual. Always has been always will be.

      What puzzles me is why it's such a revolutionary concept in this thread.

      It's actually practiced every day.

      Well known marketers get hammered on a consistent basis to do JV's with.

      Its not easy to line one up in practice, but it certainly can be done if enough
      persistence is applied with the right approach.

      In other words, try it with enough people with an approach that is
      creative and adds significant value to the potential partner who is currently
      in the power position, and eventually one will say yes.

      IF the product is of quality.

      Roger did make a valid point about dilution. To get someone who value's their list
      to partner with you is a much more difficult proposition.

      Whereas another who hammers there list on a daily basis would be a significantly easier
      proposition.

      They are used to pounding their list, so what's yet another promotion?

      Naturally the results from the pounded list will be somewhat less than desirable.

      And the subscribers gained from said list will be used to getting pounded and more likely to ignore your initial emails.

      Having said that, any JV is better than none at all, and if you don't even try, the
      chances of getting a JV are zero.

      Just remember to not approach like all the others. Pierce through the noise.

  • Hi Eric,

    BS.

  • Is this in make money niche? Name a few other niches that YOU could do this in.
  • Very inspirational, although I think it is worth putting the time in on your own for awhile just to gain an understanding of how things work before outsourcing and getting into JV's
  • Eric Louviere, your post gave me great insights in how to succeed in any business.

    I like that you said to focus on your strengths, use those and then associate with people that are already established or has the capability to attract clients using those strengths.

    And if it fails, try and try again. Patience and persistence is always needed.
