Yes or no. Please justify your answer

  • If I told you what it was, it would no longer be a secret, would it?

    There are thousands of people viewing this forum daily, so if I were to share it here, I would be sharing my secret with thousands of my friends and some of my competitors.

      Exactly. The question is a contradiction in terms.

      And sometimes one asks oneself, what is the point in sharing anyway?

      A day or two ago, I posted up a new thread, gave away some excellent tips and not one reply. Not one word of thanks. So what's the point?

      Newbies these days, a lot of them are just bone lazy and think the world owes them a favor. If you want to get to your financial destination whatever that may be, you'll need to do what the rest of us had to do when we were starting out years ago... get off your backsides, stop looking for easy push button solutions, show some dedication and hard work, commitment too, and research the answers for yourself. Find out the hard way and start treating this like a real business.

      We're not helping you if you can't be bothered to put in the work yourself to begin with.

      That's ^ no secret.

      All Marketers Are Liars

      Why? Seth Godin says so and he's an expert.

  • There are no secrets - ever; the reason why is no one can keep their mouth closed and anytime you see the word secret, like to secret to success it is all baloney. Period.
    • [ 2 ] Thanks
  • The secret to success is no secret at all... WORK!!
  • The meaning of the question was not so cheap, my frineds.

    I did not asked you to share your top secret, if you would share it, it would not be a secret indeed.
    I am partially agree with trytolearnmore.

    I meant

    Do you have something... that you think anyone could make money easily by knowing your formula,
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • check out the WSO..there are many secrets...
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • The only secret is hard work, as not too many people seem to know how to do that. I know I have a lot of trouble with it as I am a lazy S*B.

    But then if more than one knows it, it ain't a secret any more, now is it? But, bottom line, there isn't any secrets and all the hype in the WSO forum and on Clickbank and other places is just baloney, crap, BS.
  • From the wise words of Kung Fu Panda's Dad "The Secret Is That There Is NO SECRET".

    People are infatuated with secrets... so when someone says "Hey, I have a secret about how you can make $20,000 a year - pushing a couple buttons" it sets off those endorphins in the brain and you automatically want to know, because human beings are curious creatures and we like to know what he knows and how he pushes more than a couple buttons.

    Not lies exactly - just bending the truth!
  • HARD WORK! thats the secret people cmon you get what you put into this business

    • The real secret to being successful in the IM field is dedication and hard work. Developing your own products and getting them to the market place. That`s it!
  • This is not really helping anyone at all hahaha.

    Here's a 'secret': Work backwards before you go forward.

    Every method you come across has an 'essence' to it, a general idea that makes it work.

    People get so stuck in the details that they get into a rut and prevent themselves from thinking creatively.

    Article marketing = submitting content to other websites to increase traffic (SEO or direct) to your website (and increase your authority) = add value to other websites in a way that benefits yourself.

    Thinking in terms of 'article marketing' severely restricts your thought processes and you're forced to work within the constraints of 'exchanging words for traffic'.

    Instead if you ask yourself, "What other ways can I add value to different websites/businesses in a way that benefits me?" You'll broaden your perception and allow yourself to see new possibilities.

    Once you've worked backwards and gotten the core idea down you can adapt it to whatever situation arises. And you can always go back to article marketing if you need to, but now you'll be aware of other possibilities.

    So when you see a new website or place people visit frequently you'll be able to remind yourself that "Here is a place people hang out, how can I add value to it in a way that benefits me?"

    When you first saw YouTube, how long did it take before you realized you could use it to drive traffic to your websites/products? I bet you clicked around looking at amusing videos for quite a while before you thought to look at it that way. Or maybe you even needed a WSO to show you the potential.

    So now we have all these Groupon sites. What can you do to add value to these sites that will also benefit you? Interviews? A guest post about picking the best deals? Mp3s? Videos? Software? Forums?

    It's a great question to ask yourself that will get your brain juices flowing.
    "How can I add value to this website in a way that benefits me?"

    And I got that simply from working backwards from the idea of 'article marketing'.

    • The only way you will succeed in the industry is giving people what they need or have been looking for. And to do this, im going to give allot of you IMs a little secret called STOP.

      STOP re selling retarded PLR products as WSOs with your re spun sales pitch walls of text.
      STOP sending people to eye gouging squeeze page's, its not the 80's anymore so stop using those damn colors.
      STOP using PLR Websites, Audio & Videos or Anything that you bought off fiverr, its worthless.

      Here's a great example of a fail

      Stop being cheesy, try providing people with use-full information. Learn how to use forums, join at least a couple and get active.. but don't sit there all day.. or anymore than 2-3 hours tops. You aren't going to make a sale by reading the random posts here.. you will get miss guided.. I feel allot of IMs end up doing this. Do your own research, and when you find an answer.. compare it to other sources and get a second opinion.

      Asking for people to share secrets on here isn't going to get you any good info, just a bunch of posers saying they got all these tricks up their sleeves and if they shared it to the whole 130 people that will view the thread.. the "methods" or "secrets" will prove wrong and not work anymore because everyone else is doing it. Thing is.. we know your damn secrets and we don't need them their is no secret to IM, just give people something use full. stop shoving sh** stained PLR websites into your users faces.

      It really all comes down to how lazy you are, if you are lazy.. this isn't a business you should be involved in. If you have ADD or a BI**** Needy wife, this is again probably not a business to get into. It takes time, dedication, motivation, money, and risk. Don't take un educated risks.. that's the worst you could do. A couple tips for being successful in this industry is stay organized, consistent, and aggressive. Don't be discouraged if you mess up along the way, and don't come back here to boast when your making enough money to forget about everything you had worked for and you want to show us too...lol. BCZ WE KNOW YOUR LYING.

      Anyways, if you can pull any use full information out of this illiterate rant, give me a thanks! and if you really want to know some sh**.. PM with questions and ill answer as best as I can.

  • I have a secret about how to make money online but I won't be releasing it as WSO for $9.95
  • @ak1lz you can answer my question or anything you want to share here at this thread publically, this question is open for all.
  • Just spend more time in this forum and you will understand all those secrets yourself. Frankly there is no shortcut for success only you need to do hardwork!
  • Secret is something that's not meant to be known as such by other. If we will tell you our secret that will be no longer a secret haha

  • Ok, I will share with you my secret. I don’t work 4 hours per day, as I told everyone. I work 8-10 hours almost EVERY day.

    I just want to all this IM story looks like the easiest thing in the world to my friends. Why? Because I want to motivate them to join me in this online word.
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • I dont really have any secret. I don't think there's any "secret" to run a business.
  • Many of these "SECRETS" are revealed in "how to make money" products.

    But the truth is that there is no secret at all. The only secret is hard work, patience and determination.
  • My secret is beer, friends and pizza To justify, it's fun so why not, gotta have fun right, it can't all be work.

    • Personally, there is no secret in this. Secret is just an illusion that there are really some secret. When you observed how people have earned and how they succeed, you don't need a secret to attain that. As proven again and again, and I could say, that success can be attained through hard work, perseverance and determination. And in addition, the desire to learn, to learn more and continue learning is also part of the so-called secret for success.
      For the IM business, some people will always present that there are secrets to attain success. But to attain some of these secrets, you have to pay for it and that you will be given a share of the secret. And then, it will no longer a secret. But in fact, the secret that was shared to you as you read what's in it, is just to motivate you and these are just basics.

  • I have revealed many of my secrets in my past posts here on the forum.

    But, yes - I do have a secret and I am prepared to reveal it to you. Thing is, you might miss how powerful it is and not believe me when I tell you that it really is one of my best secrets.

    Anyway here it is ...

    I hope you appreciate a bit of drama ...

      While I don't promote 'reinventing the wheel' we all should look to out own strengths, ethics, and business model and go for the gold with all we've got.

      There is so much "copy this...copy that..." out there, when I come across something unique, that is what get's my attention.

      Nicely said, Will

  • I have an amazing secret - it is so secret in fact that I tell people all the time and it passes through some sort of etheral secret filter in their ears - and therefore remains unheard.

    There is an old vedic story about a guy who is walking down the road and sees that a guy is looking for something in his garden. So he asks hme what he is looking for and if he can help. The guy says he is looking for a pin that he dropped. So the other guy asks him in what part of the garden he dropped it so that he could help him. The guy says he dropped in the shed, but he doesn't want to look in there because it is way to dark and the floor is really messy and it would be just toooooo difficult to find it!!!

    Anybody see the connection between the "push button" make money online thing, and then those who make good sites, work hard and monetize them because they got enough sense in their head to realize it is a much better long term strategy.

    The secret is simply "common sense". So then why be surprised that poorly researched cheap ass niche sites get Panda wacked.
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • Here's how I look at it:

    There are 2 things to IM - strategy, and tactics.

    Strategy is the most important thing to success.. the overall method/system to your business.. and there are no secrets there. In my opinion, this is where most newbies fail, yet they are least interested in this part. This is the "treat it like a business" part..

    tactics are the small things done to implement your strategy - and yes, people probably have their own 'secrets' there.. maybe they found a great source of traffic, a nice niche, coded some of their own tools, etc.. but overall, these are just implementation details - they are not the "secrets the pro's don't want you know" kind of things..

    • I have continually posted major "secrets" to my success including strategies, tactics, specific methods, niches, resources and more. However, there are some things that cannot ever be taught but actually are far more essential; desire, motivation, ambition, action ... Great achievements can only be matched by those having similar character traits of great achievers.

  • I don't need any secret The point of IM is TAKING ACTION. Who doesn't shoot, never hits the target. Take a method, try it, if it is working then scale it up and stay with this method, if not, then brainstorm a twist and try it. Just don't give up any method too early, because that's the most common mistake of newbies, they are jumping from one method to another and just looking for a perfect method (holy grail). Give every strategy enough time and effort and focuse just on it. This is the proven way to success.
  • The secret to success is no secret at all...
  • Don't try to find magic button
    You need to build your own business plan and follow it each day
  • My greatest secret are......persistence! I think that's an attribute lacked most.
