Say NO To Gurus! The SECRET To Making Money Online (The Awesome Home Based Business - PERIOD!)
Written by Ian Ross Hollander
Are you sick and tired of trying to find a way to make money online? Do you have real PASSION but can't seem to make any profit? Are you fed up with gurus, gadgets, gimmicks and SILLY "scams" that seem to sap your time, drain your energy and "rout" your bank account all in the name of TRYING to get ahead?
If you are anything like I once was, reading email after email, "launch" after launch and silly sales pitch after silly sales pitch STARTS to really wear you down, right? It did me....and no matter how much I knew I could MASTER this work, trying to get some good information was a full time job in of itself.
In time.....I became a pretty successful affiliate marketer. I'd build websites, and affiliate campaigns in a week that would pay dividends for months, and even years to come, using articles (like this one) and high paying offers that I'd drive traffic to, without focusing on anything other than the "math". In other words - I was purely a traffic generator, and had no "skin" in the deal other than the cash these campaigns created.
It was lucrative work - but empty. Devoid any meaning - or sense of community, or contribution, and I genuinely thought about quitting working online altogether.
Want to know what changed EVERYTHING for me in one short weekend?
One day I decided to DO what I did best. And that was to inspire, motivate and help people who had purpose and meaning to their marketing, but no outlet for turning that passion into profit.
Essentially, I dropped the idea of selling affiliate products, or trying to build "AdSense" blogs, or jumping from technique to technique, and went ALL in on doing what I personally did best, and what I thought COULD (and would) translate into a profitable business to boot.
In other words, I started to COACH.
And immediately my gratification level went UP exponentially! Helping people create products, and sell their services, and turn what they LOVED into a living brought my OWN adventure back to life....and I fell back in "love" with my own business to boot.
The truth is, many of you reading this right now are successful. Others are struggling. But the fact is, both groups can have TREMENDOUS success by simply reaching out to help others who share your PASSION, and share what you love with others who enjoy the same interests, and inspirations and things that you do.
I don't care if you are a cook, a clairvoyant, or a credit specialist. You can COACH folks in any area you have expertise, and make an incredible living, while contributing something that has enduring value in your community.
The best way to build a coaching business?
I break it down into 3 simple modules,and really believe that everyone has an "a-ha" moment waiting when they apply this process.
Strategy (what is your overall objective - the broad view perspective of EXACTLY what you are trying to achieve?)
Structure (what are the specific tools and techniques you are going to use to build your business?)
Sequence (what goes where, WHEN.....and why?)
Write those 3 "S's" down.....and you'll be amazed at how much more clarity you'll get about how to get what you want, and help a whole lot of other folks along the way!
