Here’s the cruncher.
You have next to NO competition.
Only 1 person in 100 will do anything about this. Of those, only 1 in 100 will get as far as re-writing an ebook. Of those, only 1 in 100 will use a traffic method to start building their list.
That’s ONE person in a MILLION will actually start building their list.
Somewhere along the way, the rest will drop by the wayside.
Don’t overestimate your competition. Don’t think they’re better than you.
The fishing is best where the fewest go, and the collective insecurity of the world makes it easy for you to succeed where they will fail. And the bigger your goal, the fewer people will pursue it, making it even easier for you to achieve. There’s less competition for the bigger goals.

For every 5 products you create, 3 will do well and 1 of those 3 will do very well. Or it may be 3-2-1 or 7-4-2 or whatever - you’ll see the pattern emerge in time.
You can then work out your average income across them all and know that just by the sheer weight of numbers, you will be making n amount of dollars. If your averages work across 5 products, divide the n by 5 to give you your dollar value per product.
Let’s say it’s $200 per month per product averaged out.
Pure logic now says that the FASTER you can put out new products, the more money you will make - guaranteed. You CANNOT lose as each one will generate an average of $200 per month.

Try this little exercise.
How much time a day do you spend watching TV? An hour? Two hours? Three? Let’s assume one hour a day.
Give up TV for one week and you have SEVEN hours to create a product.
I’ve created products in far less time than that.

…the only thing that’s holding you back from earning a comfortable living online is you.
All you need to do is work out what it is you’d like to create your first product about, what format you’re going to do it in, and then do it.
You’ll feel much better for having actually done something rather than just kid yourself you’ve done something by making a purchase.

There’s nothing wrong with buying knowledge.
It’s how I make my living, and it’s also something I do myself on a regular basis. I spend a lot of money on my own education in the form of online courses, processes and procedures I’m unsure of, books which I get from either Play.com or Amazon.com, and so on.
But once I have the knowledge, I stop buying and I start doing.
Here today, I’m going to give you my condensed 7 step course in how to make money online…
#1 - Create a product.
#2 - Put up a sales page.
#3 - Drive traffic to it.
#4 - Build your mailing list.
#5 - Make some sales.
#6 - Automate it all.
and the vital last one…
#7 - Repeat.

The act of buying for many people is the temporary satisfaction of that need to feel they’re doing something to get closer to their desire of having an internet business.
But really, it’s the complete opposite.
The more you learn, the more you’ll suffer from inaction.

If you spend a few hours creating a product that you would buy yourself, you now have something to sell. Once you have something to sell, you can put up a sales page and start getting traffic to it. When you have people looking at your product, someone will buy. You can then build a mailing list of prospects and buyers that like what you have to say and you now have customers.
You automate that entire process, and you now have a business.
That’s the entire “secret”.

There’s a correlation between those people who take responsibility for their lives and those who are successful in all aspects.
There’s an equivalent match for those people who don’t achieve and those who point the finger at everything and everyone else for their condition.

You can see it’s really hit a chord with people. I’m amazed at how useful everybody is finding this tiny little product I’ve done (a default ebook layout). It seems that by accident, I’ve stumbled upon something big.
It really is a simple idea, and the surprising thing is that no-one’s ever done it before. But isn’t that the way with a lot of the really good ideas? They’re just simple things that are useful to people.

…after about a month, not only do I have a product page that’s pulling in a moderate amount of interest, I also have some market research that tells me there’s a real interest in this kind of product (211 downloads with little real promotion).
So what if I put together a number of other default ebook formats using colour, graphics, different sizes etc. and then offered that package for sale? How much could I charge for that?
Maybe I won’t do it at all, or maybe I won’t do it for several months, I have a lot of other ideas in motion. So, if you want to go do it before me, there’s the idea, go right ahead. I wouldn’t expect a cut of the money, but a link to this internet business blog would be nice.
