Making Money Online; How Easy Is It?
Why do some people succeed at making an income online while others fail miserably and many others just bring in a few dollars a month at best? Is it talent?, knowledge?, courage? persistence? or what?
I have been working on the Partnership to Success program with John Thornhill and it has been very easy to follow. Up until I got to the product creation. At this point I have become stuck and have been practicing procrastination in a big way. The idea is to create a product in the ‘online marketing’ field and then he would help you market it. My problem is that I do not feel like I know enough or have enough experience to create such a product. I am failing at getting more than a little chimp change from monetization and as of now, do not even have a list to offer a freebie to.
I recently saw a Hewlitt Packard (HP) add that had the statement: “If you’re going to do something, make it matter”!. This statement hit home and caused me to stop and think about a lot of things. One being, what am I trying to accomplish with online marketing? If I am going write an ebook that matters, then it should probably matter to me as well.
I previously took the One Month Mentor program, again with John Thornhill and got ‘stuck’ at the same spot. Though I did get underway with a product but not one in the area of online marketing. It is a health related product, which I feel much more at home writing about. I have decided that this getting ‘stuck’ is going to become a habit if I do not do something soon.
I think the best choice is to finish my first product, though it is not about marketing. It at least will be a start. I will have actually created a product I can try to sell and can learn from it and then maybe use that experience to build on and even transfer to the online marketing area. I have way more knowledge and experience at trying to lose weight and become healthy.
I think this will be a good start and this is something that matters to me a lot and hopefully to others as well.

Hi Jenny,
I think your plan to complete your first product is a good one, not only is it in a good niche but as you say if it matters to you then you will find it easier to complete the process.
At the end of the day the fundamentals of what you will learn through John are the same, if you can apply that to a product/niche you are passionate about I’m sure you’ll be successful.
You can then always create a product that deals with building a non-Online Marketing based business which I am sure plenty of people will be interested in learning about.
Cheers,
Stefan
Hi Jen,
You said John wants you to create a product in the Online Marketing field, but that you’re more comfortable creating/writing about the weight loss/health field. How about writing a weight loss/health related product that you sell as PLR to the online marketing community? I think a lot of marketers love buying new/original PLR material because they can use it in so many ways on their own websites, etc. You can probably search the warrior forums WSO section for “PLR” and see lots of examples.
What do you think?

That is definitely and idea worth considering. I wouldn’t say I have tried all the diets out there but I have tried a few, some that worked and some that didn’t and have lots of ideas that come from my experiences and those of friends and family. Will definitely give it some thought. Am a little better than half-way through the third draft of my first product, but it is good to have a few ideas in the back of my mind for future projects. Thanks for your in put.
