A thousand questions race through my head every day. I am an information junkie. I just can’t get enough details. The world today is driven by consuming data, isn’t it? For the things that fascinate me, I want details… I want answers. Just think of all the things you pay for that you don’t actually see or touch. If you are an entrepreneur such as myself, this happens more to you than most people. I am often trading in my hard earned cash for things that (for all intents and purposes) have no “real” value, in the traditional sense of the world.
But the world is a different place than it was 10 years ago. In those days I was fascinated with how much money this or that business was earning, were they making it? Were they getting rich? Did they have a job on the side? How hard did they REALLY work? These businesses were typically of the brick and mortar variety. It did not take me long to realize (in 1999) that people were also running small businesses online. They were quietly working from home making money while everyone else was slaving away at their job.
Do you know when you type any given keyword into google and a page is displayed that chances are excellent that the webpage you visited was solely created to earn revenue? Even if it is just a hobby, the odds are decent that there is some kind of ads on the page so the site can pay it’s “virtual” rent. It’s possible to create an online publishing empire by building websites…… everything from small niche blogs to database driven, infocentric websites to online niche stores. You can do so without having inventory, delivery trucks or other huge overhead experienced by those who have physical businesses. It is possible to create an affiliate store selling other people’s products, without the hassle of keeping a storefront, inventory and employees. Trust me, I’ve been there, it is NOT fun.
It wasn’t until a few years ago that I discovered tools that allow me to analyze these virtual businesses on the web. I have become a sort of web sleuth investigating websites, analyzing backlinks, finding patterns of ownership, etc. This is all in an effort to see if I can duplicate it and do it better and add my own touch and skills to the procesds…. After all, there are a zillion places that sell hamburgers, right? You primarily hear about Mcdonalds, but other restaurants successfully sell them as well. In the virtual world it becomes possible to dominate an entire niche market if you put your mind to it… there are countless numbers of these markets. Using tools, I can investigate these markets to see if it warrants my attention then go after them with a vengeance if the money is there.
This is precisely what I am doing with this website. I am finding niches and marketing to that niche using various promotion methods. We create many types of sites, everything from database driven megasites to niche blogs. There are countless markets that we will go into upon researching them. There is no way possible without having a full time dedicated person to this project that we could even cover a small percentage of them. I am to experiment in 2 or 3 markets a month and let my members follow along with the successes and even the failures. Yes there certainly are failures… but the overhead is at a point that you can move on to the next market without losing a tremendous amount of money. Even still, some sites that are deemed to be unsuccessful in the beginning (not paying their virtual rent, so to speak) end up doing well months or years later. I have sites that I created many eons ago that still earn me an income to this day. Are you still getting paid for what you did 8 years ago without having to worry about the fluctuations of the stock market?
Their are publishing empires being built online as we speak. Companies are acquiring virtual properties, expanding into new markets and doing things unthinkable a generation ago. You have an opportunity to watch over my back while I build successful and unsuccessful websites and businesses. There is so much information it is very easy to get overwhelmed…. are you up for the challenge? Maybe you aren’t cut out to be out on your own… perhaps you are destined to work the rest of your life for a company or employer that may or may not be there for you. That is fine, there is honor in doing so.
But, does the concept of passive income appeal to you? Never before has it been easier to start a business from home and become independently wealthy than it is today. We live in exciting times, especially for a budding entrepreneur. Many times, folks focus on all the bad news and fail to realize all the success that is happening around them. Are you focusing on the negative?
Follow me as I research and possiblly enter into new markets online and offline. Sometimes I feel like a sort of virtual Warren Buffet (without the moolah) …. My aim is to acquire and/or dominate as many markets as possible….. think it can be done? Watch and see?
You can follow my projects using the menu above… I’ll share with you info few are willing to share. I share my projects (where I challenge to start with no money and limited time). I share with you websites I am interested in acquiring or building.. I share with you research I do on other sites that may be my competitors. Finnally I share with you curated posts from other websites that are related to this market that interest me.
Like I mentioned, I have always been a virtual voyeur of sorts… wanting to spy on how others were making or not making money. So I am extending to you the opporuntity to spy on me…… Everything I post here will be geared to help propel you into the freedom that the internet lifestyle can afford you. I’m not saying it is easy, I’m not saying it will be cheap.. I’m not even saying you will succeed. What I am saying is that if you throw enough sh** at a wall, something is going to stick. So when you fall off that proverbial bicycle, get up, learn what you did wrong then start over!!!
