LightHouse,
Gotta thank you for the thread, you've lurked one lurker out of shadows out in the open in need of advice (refer to Sky's trainer anology...which clicked with me as well)
My ultimate goal, of course is too make money - however I'm a firm believer in MJ's words "Impact Millions - Make Millions" so before I can make money I have to figure out how can I impact people (via service, product, etc..) - that's my goal today.
I must admit that at this point I'm super paralyzed by analyzing MASS amounts of info on the internet on how to make money, research niches, etc...talk about mental overload
Little background on myself....live in Miami, FL and work for an internet marketing company that specializes in finance related affiliate marketing (credit cards, investment products, credit repair offers, etc) my sole job is to find finance based sites/blogs and literally turn them into millionaires. Given I see how some of these guys go from $0-$100k per month virtually overnight, I figured the best route would be to go into finance based affiliate marketing (credit card comparison sites, insurance, etc) only to find out how competitive that niche is and the money that is required to make it within that industry (plus all the reading in between) made me reevaluate my options
One thing I should add is that my ideal online business would be the one with passive income - build it, rank it, maintain it, get paid
Anywho, my biggest problem was concentrating on one particular thing and focusing my all on it...hopefully you have some useful tips on how to overcome this mental unorganization and lack of focus...as you will see, i'm all over the place at the moment and any advice you can give will help. I have considerable income available to invest to build a long lasting business but I'm afraid that whatever I invest it will not work due to being oversaturated, too comeptitive, not enough search volume, too much reading about everything else....and on and on and on
finance product comparison site
niche dating/membership site
drop ship eccommerce site
niche directory site within my city
finance related blog
etc
If any of you FastLaners know the cure to my problem, I AM ALL EARS (AND EYES)...IMO i have all the resources available to me if I can only focus on one thing that will somewhat minimize my odds of failing (I guess thats what I'm scared of, considering the capital is not mine, but is being pushed my way to start something) Taking action and lack of focus....two essential things are missing from my arsenal and can't even describe to you how frustrating it is...
Thanks for any replies
This is a little tough to answer all in one post, but thank you for coming forward! I feel like with your experience you could add value here as well. I would love to hear more about your work experience.
For you, when you say you have capital and resources, what are you talking specifically. Will your coworkers help you with traffic generation and SEO and all, will you have to pay the company you work for? I imagine a little data mining from where you work could turn up great opportunities. If you have those resources things can be a bit more streamlined for you.
If not, you are going to have to dig deeper into your head and find out what you wouldn't mind getting into and not hating in a year or a few months. I think you'll find a disconnect between passive income and helping millions though. What are the kinds of things you are actually interested in, income generation aside?
