Most people I speak with want to succeed online but don’t really think they have something to offer.
I don’t want to sound like a smarty pants but in 100% of the cases, they're wrong about that.
If you've ever felt like you don't have anything to offer online where you can make money by selling your experience by creating a product off of your life's experiences, then please consider reading the rest of this letter.
I usually start these conversations with this question.
What do you know now that you wish you'd known when you were 30?
That leads to some very interesting insights.
Sometimes these insights are about parenting.
Sometimes they're about handling finances.
Sometimes they're about marriage.
Sometimes they're about faith.
Sometimes they're about investing.
And each one of the topics that you just read about is perfect for digital products.
What most people don't consider when they begin thinking about trying to make a living online is just how valuable what they already know can be.
They get sucked into all of this product, market, perfect avatar, perfect selling agreement, perfect sales funnel stuff, when in actuality none of that matters.
I can prove it doesn't matter right now by sharing a ridiculous example that I share when people talk with me on the phone.
When people insist that they couldn't possibly drive traffic to a website, I say this “If I gave you a stack of $100 bills, do you feel as though you could give them away?”
When people say they couldn't possibly build an email list, I use the same statement and say, "Do you think people would opt in to get the $100 bill?"
They laugh, and of course they say yes because who couldn't, right?
To be clear, we're not talking about giving away a $100 bill, but what we are talking about is helping people solve their problems. In many cases, that's worth far more to them than $100.
Is your health improving worth more than 100
Is your child doing better in school worth more than 100
Is having more peace of mind worth more than a hundred
Of course, and this is where your opportunity lies right now.
This is exactly how people succeed online.
Most people get all caught up in the perfect lead magnet, funnel building, and all the other mechanics.
That's a misdirection. That's the wrong place to focus.
Succeeding online comes down to one thing and one thing only … solving people's problems.
There is no doubt in my mind, none whatsoever, that you have in your head right now the ability to solve people's problems
You just might not know how to monetize it yet.
Here's my offer to you.
And it's an offer where you can't possibly pay me anything, and I'm never going to ask you for anything.
Send a message to [email protected] and give me the answer to the question that I asked above. I will be the only person who sees your answer.
What do you know now that you wish you'd known when you were 30?
I have one request. Don't answer in one word. Actually, talk about it a little bit when you answer.
If you make the effort to do that, I will make the effort to take your answer and suggest to you what you could do to monetize it.
No cost to you, no obligation. I just want to help.
I look forward to hearing from you, and thank you for reading my newsletter.
