A Profitable Week!
By
I should really apologise! I have been out of touch for a while. I’ve been really busy, and also took a weekend off. It was bank holiday weekend in England (basically a day off work), and I promised my girlfriend that no computers would be switched on for 3 days! It was hard, but i did it!
As I said, I’ve been really busy over the last month. I have had my most profitable week since I started my journey to make a full time living online.
Product Creation
I have officially now created and sold my first product – and I have about 3 more on the way!
Product creation, in my opinion is the best way to start making a living online. It can be difficult, but I’m sure that you know something that comebody else would pay to know. Just think about it for a second..how much more do you know now, than you did 6 months ago?
My product was a system I used to make some cash as I was getting started. I still use it now, but I am more focused on product creation, and developing my ideas at the moment as my time is really limited.
The system I used was leveraging Yahoo Answers. It is pretty simple to so – and I created a step-by-step report on what I did.
So, it’s simple, learn something – master it, put it into your own words – or add your own twist on it and you have a product!
Where did I sell it? Basically, I put up my product as a WSO on the Warrior Forum. It is a great way to get your product in amongst targeted buyers.
Many people have problems developing their own products, it can be pretty tough, If that’s the case then just hit me up – I would love to talk to you about any issues you are having – and maybe have a brainstorm and come up with some ideas for you.
Another things about product creation is that you can build your list aswell as make you some cash. over the last 2 weeks I have increased my list by around 80 subscribers, which isnt much, but it almost doubled the size of my list!
Website Flipping
Currently I am working with another one of Alex jeffreys 2.0 students – and we are in the process of building a website to flip. This in itself, can earn you a full time income, but can be pretty labor intensive if used as your sole income stream.
What I prefer is flipping actual businesses. This is something I picked up off one of my friends, Steven Walk.
Basically, you build yourself an online business – with some sort of continuity involved – so to keep it simple, you develop a coaching course on listbuilding, which is 6 months long and content is drip fed every week.
Once you get some recurring income – the value of this website ROCKETS.
People love geting their hands on readymade businesses, it takes all the hassle out of creating your own product and information.
You may think it would be stupid to sell a business which is making you a solid monthly income…
but..what if you kept 20% equity in it when you sold it?
You would have some cash to build another site – maybe something which has a higher ticket value – so more $$$ per customer. You have more cash to advertise and promote, and in turn get more members. When you come to sell this site, as there is a higher monthly revenue, you can ask a higher price.
If you keep another 20% equity in this business, then you are increasing your monthly income – and it will be on complete autopilot.
Now it might be that somebody is not prepared to give you 20% – so you could put a time limit on it. So you have 20% equity for 3 months, and can be used on a consultancy basis if any problems arise. In those 3 months, you can develop your next flip and get ready to sell it.
That way, you always have a monthly income!
Anyway, they are just 2 business models I am working on at the moment. I have tried to keep it simple, and just give you an insight to what I am doing.
It will hopefully give me some capital that I can reinvest back into my business, and grow it further!
If your having any problems, then just shoot me a comment and I’ll be happy to help!

The offline consulting stuff is an excellent idea! I am definitely going to look more in to that. I love the flipping stuff. It gives me some extra added security. Whenever I am having a bad week financially, I can always flip a site real quick and make some quick money.
Cool ideas.

Hey Matt
I’m really passionate about the offline consulting – just being able to use my IM knowledge to improve a businesses fortunes – and see an upturn in their business will be amazing!
Flipping is a really good way to make that extra cash – but I think it can become a fuill time income in itself – just look at people who flip houses, websites are like the real estate of the internet…

Congrats on the product sales. I think product development and selling is defo the way forward, but it can be such a long and boring endevour some times. It’s important to try and keep the energy levels up and stay focussed.
Congratulations again on the sales, I’ll be dropping by here more to keep up with your progress! Until we talk again on skype!

Dave,
Congrats, on the product and sales. Yep, I\’m a believer in that too.
But you\’ve got me thinking about two things.
First website flipping and second Yahoo answers.
Just went to Yahoo answers yesterday for the very first time.
Pretty cool way to bring traffic back to your website. Got to try it.
Cheers,
Rob

Im big into product creation at the moment and working on some bigger products at the moment to get out of the whole wso product creation and move more into the mainstream.
Infact im now outsourcing all my affiliate marketing so i can concentrate full time on product creation only.

Thats an intersting post there – ive heard kim roach talk about website flipping, definately something that needs to go on the long list of things to look at in future.
The truth is the vast majority of people just arent creative these days so buying something already working suits many
