===========================================
One of the best ways to learn is by asking questions. And since a ton of folks get this newsletter the questions pour in (not all of them about online business)…
“Is 5 Guys really as great as you say?”
YES!! (I cannot believe you asked that!) Though I have to admit I’m not a huge fan of their fries. But their burgers…wow!!!!
“How did you lose 15 pounds in a month?”
Uh… The Income DNA sorta spelled that out. http://budurl.com/IncomeDNA
“What is the secret to making money online?”
Work. It’s only a secret because lots of people don’t want to do it. 
“Which niche will make me $2000 a month?”
Hmmm… hundreds of niches can produce $2000 a month :: self-growth, diet, exercise, online business, how to start a restaurant, etc :: all possess the seeds of riches. BUT…only YOU can make it happen. No niche will make money FOR you. And no SINGLE process works in every niche.
“Are all southerners as happy as you?”
Nope.
“Are you always in a good mood?”
I’m not. In 2008 I had a couple of really bad days. In fact, one of my boys asked how my day was and for the first time ever he heard me say, “I didn’t have a great day today.” It really threw him. I’m only in a good mood 99% of the time. A 3 hour recording on why I’m happy all the time would be easy to produce, but it might be torture for the crowd!
“Is it REALLY possible to make substantial amounts of money online or is it just a sales pitch?”
Yes to both…
OK. Buckle up. The following collision could prove fatal to your online dreams. Prepare for the impact of……. REALITY!
YES, it really is possible to make substantial amounts of money online.
But it’s not probable for MOST people. Hold on though. Don’t give up just yet. We’re going to find out if you’re different than most people.
Consider the following…
Is it possible to make substantial amounts of money selling life insurance?
Yes.
Is it possible to make substantial amounts of money selling cars?
Yes.
Is it possible to make substantial amounts of money as a professional speaker?
Yes.
Is it possible to make substantial amounts of money with a restaurant?
Yes.
Is it possible to make substantial amounts of money with a tanning bed salon?
Yes.
Yet…… salesmen fail, restaurants close and tanning bed salons shut down leaving their Caucasian customers pasty white.
Was making money in those industries just a sales pitch? Didn’t they all have a dream? Didn’t they all invest time and money to make it work?
Most likely. There are dozens of reasons for failure, but here are the top three…
1) Thinking that people will just show up at the door ready to buy.
2) Thinking about making sales rather than serving customers and sharing a great experience.
3) Failing to contact customers over and over helping them take the experience to a deeper level. In other words, not building a relationship with them.
Most of the fundamentals of business are the same across the board. In general the process needs only slight tweaking for each industry.
So, back to the question…
“Is it REALLY possible to make substantial amounts of money online or is it just a sales pitch?”
It really is possible … but …
Can you sell insurance right now? Can you open a restaurant right now? Can you open a tanning salon right now? Do you know what to do? Do you know how to do it? Do you have the money it takes? Do you know where to find your customers? Can you sustain operations for two years even if a customer never walks through the door?
(Get the picture?)
You can make A LOT of money online. A bunch. A bank full.
But you have to….
Educate yourself.
Experience the steps.
Evaluate and do it all over again.
You really need to create a two year plan in a niche and stick to it. Work it. Pursue it. Sacrifice.
And most won’t do that.
They’ll quit and say, “That was all just a pitch.”
It’s a pitch because it’s sales. But most will give up too soon. They will not invest the time it takes to really learn how to do business online successfully. They want it to be easy. And it never will be for them. Because their focus is wrong. They want it overnight.
But as I have mentioned before. You can’t learn guitar overnight. You can’t learn a language overnight. And they are MUCH EASIER than creating and running a business.
However, if YOU stick with your online business education, continue to work your plan day in and day out, you can make substantial amounts of money online.
It’s really possible.
It’s just not probable for the vast majority who would rather watch sitcoms than work. Who would rather believe the pitch than make a plan.
The good news is that those people are not in your way. They are not your competition. They will keep buying stuff to fulfill their dream, while you will buy stuff to further your online education and grow your business.
In the next issue we’ll look at a sitcom to business ratio and knock another large chunk of your “competition” out of the way.
Success is NOT an Accident,
Paul
P.S. Got something free and cool planned for the 100th issue of the Nicheology Profit Letter. A free tele-seminar on “Core Business.” We’ll be getting down to the essentials of REAL business.
