I Got Lucky and I Know It!
I wanted to talk briefly about the staggering amount of online opportunities for creating wealth…how in the world do you get through it all and make any kind of decision? There are literally thousands upon thousands of programs, affiliate products, resale products, create your own, MLM, membership and tele-seminar/webinar info products - enough to make your eyes go wacko!!
I think that, personally, I have spent about $5,000 and about a year going through the trenches to try to find one that works and makes money. Was this time well spent? It depends… If I could go back and handle HOW I was looking differently and be more focused on what I was looking for, I think I could have cut the time by at least half and the money down to a quarter of the amount!
The thing is, I really had no "Game Plan" and no idea of what it was I wanted to do online. I just wanted to find something that was going to make me enough money so that I could stay at home with my daughter AND change our lifestyle as a family. Within six months, I had tried a few programs and had not made a dime! It was time to be real and face the fact that I was going to have to find a way to bring in money and I DID NOT want to get a job outside of the house and put my 1 year old in daycare!
I finally found some online work. First as an Author Representative for a self-publishing company (independent contractor work), then as a Customer Support person answering support tickets on various helpdesks. The Author Rep job was very interesting….however, it was very specialized and involved - but paid crap! My best monthly check ever was $444. Who can live on that?!? I figured out that I'd have to have about 100 authors at any one time and work about 40 hours a week to make about $1,500 per month - Yuck!
My second job as a customer support help desk representative was much more lucrative…and eye opening! Believe it or not…One of the desks I work on is for a well know Internet Marketing "GURU"!! Talk about luck! As one of his contract workers, I ended up with free access to all of his products so that I could help the customers through the process and answer questions…and because he is very generous and wants his own people to succeed as well.
What I found were several ways to make awesome money and the truth that there is NO SUCH thing as "set it and forget it" or "simply duplicate (copy) my system and you'll make money!" Nope…it does not exist…
And I'll tell you why…
