My take from the story Dien is that each person
took an element of their business and appealed
to the "highest" paying customer...so my question
would be: looking at your business and your
customer base who would be the highest paying
customers and what do they want? if I'm not sure
who that is...can I develop a method to find
out who my customer is and how much they have
to spend and address what their needs...

Those stories demonstrated each person knew how much their customer would be willing to pay for certain services and products...

Another thing I learned from the story is how
important it is to be really focused on the
needs of your target market...notice they did
not try to make money by going outside of their
field of interest...

Could you
> have an online "event" which
> people would pay to "attend"?

No, but you could have a Product or service
your "best" customer would pay for...

this all reminds me of the BYBA story on your
board and how Monique focused in on her target
market and offered them a newsletter subscription.
Prior to doing this she believed her customer
would only want a freebie..her income jumped
exponentially as the people in the story who
made a lot in 2.5 days...

I guess if you really know your target and was
under a deadline,be it self imposed or not, you
would figure out a way to make the money...
deadlines and hunger makes one verrry creative..

Wayne Dyer has a tape called :
How to get what you reallllllllllllllllly,
realllllllllllllly want...and the reason is
because many don't know what they realllllllllly
want...
