Learn to Earn... It's Who and What You Know - IMS #123


Question: I have a top ranked authority site, I make a living on the net, but have never made the amount that I should be. I do JVs, have tons of affiliates, email marketing, autoresponders, PPC, etc.

Given my 7 years on the net, what do you think a private site like StomperNet can do for me? I realize that if I join, you would get a nice affiliate commission every month, so I am hoping to receive a concrete response, to help make my decision.

Answer: I refuse to be baited by affiliate commissions. Just FYI, I'm a nice guy that answers emails and don't give a rats asterisk if you buy through me or not. ;-) In fact, once you read my answer, you might even think I'm a bit of a jerk. But I'm going to tell you the way it is.

First of all, there's a fundamental flaw in your thinking. You say "make" instead of "earn" what you have. The greatest abundance will always come when you "serve" your market and customers, as opposed to "make" or trying get something from them.

You need to offer value. The more value you give, the more you'll get in return. Ok, that said...

You are probably making what you earn, because of who you hang around with. Make friends with people who are 10 times smarter, more experienced, and more prosperous than you. Then emulate what they do. You'll find people like that in private sites like StomperNet, Article Underground and Keyword Avalanche.

Most people with breakout success are in markets other than direct response. Both StomperNet founders - Brad Fallon and Andy Jenkins - succeeded in markets serving everyday needs.

Brad was wildly successful not only because he's smart, he learned SEO from the best, Leslie Rohde - now a faculty member - and practiced it in very common market... wedding favors.

Then after he achieved success outside of the "internet marketing" community, he started SEO Radio and the original StomperNet Audio series with Andy.

And it was the same deal with Andy. He learned ecommerce by reading Nothing but 'Net and then ran with it. He set up Yahoo stores selling memorabilia and tapestries. Then he wrote a book on how he did it.

The amount of testing Brad and Andy have done is astounding. Just their conversion techniques alone pay for the cost of the membership for most people.

Oh... another reason why you might be stuck, is that you're probably not delegating tasks like accounting, taxes, investments, annual reports, etc. You don't need employees, but you do need to form long term relationships with professionals to do these tasks. Then you'll have more time to work on strategies that will build your business.

Or - come to think of it - maybe it's your overall strategy. Take a look at someone like Gauher Chaudhry, he does PPC to CPA and doesn't even worry about SEO or organic search. His course Pay Per Click Formula costs about the same as one month in StomperNet, yet he's on his way to over a million in revenue this year.

So long story short, there are many paths to success, but it all boils down to self-belief, positive attitude, being of service, and the old... who and what you know. Every who brings more what. And "the what" comes from your own personal experience, the books you read, the seminars you attend, and the people you hang around with.
