By Andrew and Daryl Grant
Hi again from Andrew and Daryl! This month we’re writing to you from Bangkok. We’re here with the kids and having a fantastic time. Bangkok’s one of our favourite cities, and we spend as much time here as we can.
One of the great things about having an internet business selling information products is that it allows us to travel lots, which is one of our major goals. In our previous jobs as consultants, we almost never took holidays – because if we did, the money stopped coming in.
These days, we travel 3-4 months a year, and get this: when we come home we have more money in the bank than when we left! A big change from our “swapping hours for dollars” consulting days. You see, what we’ve done is create a SYSTEM to sell information products online. This system is automated – so it makes money whether we are paying it any attention or not.
This month, we want to continue through our Nine Keys to Success in Making Passive Income. You’ll recall last month we told you about the first key: Have a Clear, Specific Goal. We’ve compiled these Nine Keys from talking with successful people about what they do differently from everyone else.
This month we’ll show you key #2.
Key #2—Use a proven system (don’t reinvent the wheel)
We find that when people first get into internet marketing, they get all enthusiastic. They buy a bunch of training products and go through them all. Then they cobble together what they’ve learned and try to make money online.
Unfortunately, this rarely works.
At this stage we often have people come to us and ask “Can you please have a look at my internet business and tell me why it’s not working?” And what we find is that they’ve created a kind of Frankenstein business – they’ve mixed a little bit of everyone’s system, and created a monster!
Here’s a much more successful strategy.
Find a system that works. Then follow it through step by step, exactly as it’s given to you, until it’s finished. Only then should you start to try and improve it. And when you do try to improve it, test just one thing at a time.
What we find is, it’s the people who take our system and apply it exactly as described that do the best with it. That’s because we’ve done so much testing and refining. In fact we’ve spent hundreds of thousands of dollars refining our systems (that’s code for “making loads of mistakes ourselves and figuring out what works”).
It’s generally the people who are smarter than average that have the biggest problem with this Key to Success! They look at our system, and often say “That looks too simple. I bet I can make it more sophisticated / clever / complex, and it’ll do even better.” Wrong. Our system works BECAUSE it’s simple.
How well do you do at following a system step-by-step? Are you tempted to mess with it to “make improvements”? If that’s you, just for once have a go at implementing a proven system step-by-step and see what a difference it makes.
If you’re interested in learning one of our step-by-step systems, check out our blog at www.OurInternetSecrets.com. There we give you a simple system to sell information products, in our Quick-Start Guide to Making Money Online. Loads of people have used the information in this free report to set up very successful info product businesses. Enjoy!
