What are people after today?

From what i have heard and seen most of the people are talking about facebook and buying iphones. So either make a new type of facebook application for iphone, either resell iphones.

You will probably get a lot of "OPINIONS" in this thread but no real hard facts. The trick is to do some testing. Stick your neck out and take a chance. Write a report, make a video, do a webinar (Which is a really hot seller lately) and try different things.

Hope this helps,

The blog looks generic, the information isnt new, and if I were you I'd double check to make sure I could legally use that Branson photo. Personally, I'd recommend picking a new niche and starting over. People run into problems because they try selling the idea of making money online before making any money online.

You wouldn't become a teacher at a flight school without learning to fly, right? Right?!

People want MONEY and SEX.

Everything else is to help them get one or both of these.

Joseph is right, your blog is very generic, which obviously means that your traffic is untargeted. I would be very surprised if you make money off of that blog. I mean, what action steps do you want your visitors to take? What's the goal of your blog? Even more importantly, what's your end goal here? Is it to just promote whatever affiliate offers are available? If I signed up to your email list, what messages would you send me? From what I can gather so far, those would be no different than what I could get from any other marketer out to make money online.

Can you see the problem? You say that this market is saturated, but fail to understand that there huge gaps in the market for quality training/services/products. The fact that you think it's saturated means you are not focused on providing value. But, how can you provide value, you admit you don't even know what people want.

You are 100% right to sit down and ask where you go from here, but asking questions in forums is not going to get you the right answers. You need to narrow your focus and target a specific audience. That means YOU are the one who has to find these people where they're at. Not only where they hang out, but where they are in their heads.

You cannot provide solutions to problems you don't even know exist. If you don't understand the needs of the people you're trying to market to, you will fail miserably. When you sit down with your good self, ask if your blog is providing value to a specific demographic. If not, why not?

Personal development can be incorporated into the make money online market, but if I arrive on your blog in search of a personal development article, I won't be interested in making money online. You see, untargeted. How many articles on your blog are targeted to a SPECIFIC outcome related to making money online? It seems very generic to me. It needs to be more focused on the bigger picture, which it seems to me that you haven't worked that part out yet.

Hi Lloyd,

Why not use the information in your sig? After all, if these are methods of making money online, then you should be able to make money with them.

I could go into a whole spiel about how you shouldn't be telling others how to make money if you're not doing it yourself, but I'm not going to do that. It's good to hear that you are taking a step back and analyzing your situation.

Perhaps you could choose one (two at the most) of the money-making ways you suggest, and then focus on it until you start making more money.

Also, read Acres of Diamonds at your earliest convenience. You should be able to find a free copy online without much trouble.

All the best,
Michael

What do people want these days? This forum should supply that answer. People are asking questions about many topics. Observe them and you'll see a trend in what people want.

What do people want these days? Take a look at the wso section and see what is selling, see what solution is selling to the problems people are having.

IM can never get too saturated, people are looking to earn money online and start their businesses, this niche is evergreen. Once you figured out what people want, then simply give them it.
Make sure that you landing page/sales page looks nice and converts
Create your product and just get massive/targeted traffic and you can do quite well.

.

People want to decrease pain and increase pleasure. It's that simple.

Narrow down your focus. What kind of marketer/person are you targeting. What exactly do they need (besides motivational truism) such as products and services and offer it to them.

One thing to realize is that the Make Money Online market is extremely wide.

Think of everything that you can do:
-Freelancing
-Product creation
-Affiliate marketing
-Flipping domains
-SEO services
-Blogging
-Promoting CPA offers
-Owning CPA offers
-Sell PLR


And then of course you have
-Email marketing
-Traffic
-Copywriting
-Software development and updates
-Website security
-Research
-Newbies, amateurs, and experts
...all kinds of stuff.

What do people want?

They want to know the specifics of each, and what's working now.

Generic information is nothing. Specific information is everything.

I can tell you that to make money online, just send traffic to your product's sales page. But unless I told you how to make a great sales page, where to get quality traffic, how to make a great product, etc., then you really aren't much better off.

But isn't it better to sell stuff that actually exists?
