Default Re: $10,000 A MO from "Mobile"?

Also....as an "extra point of clarification"....I've bought MANY WSOs and Reports and Courses on "How To Make Money with Mobile Devices" however, when I got all rigged up with my SmartPhone and an expensive software program that can "make Mock-Ups" of
1) what an existing website looks like on a cell
and
2) what the same site COULD look like after I "Mobilize" it....

and I was SHOWING these to them on MY cell....2ft from their noses!!!

STILL.....MOST site owners (in my area) said, "Nah! We've already spent too much on this internet-thingee!".....and, it was then I realized that no matter How Many Stats I brought up.....and the fact that they were "missing customers/clients/patients".....they STILL were NOT motivated to pay little ol' ME to make them a Mobilized Site.

It was THEN....I realized 2 things
1) I had to give them a STRONG REASON why they NEEDED (not Wanted) to Pay ME.....to become "Mobilized"
and....
2) I had to bring some EMOTION in

So.....just like a "Directory" program I started years ago (in the PRE-IM days) after I found I couldn't get local biz owners to pay me for any of my Ad Projects....I made up a "Town Directory" where I "salted" it with biznesses who were "Already IN" (They weren't).....but....the New Prospects THOUGHT they were, so.....their "Greed Glands" got the best of them (emotion) and.....they thought, "Hey! If THIS guy is in this..."I BETTER BE ALSO"!

Thus.....when biz owners SEE.....other participants, "seemingly IN" the program....they DON'T WANT to let their competition get in....so, Emotion & Greed sets in and....THEY WANT IN.....NOW.....B4 THEIR COMPETION!

I don't know whether anyone here understands what I've just explained so, some may think THIS is "BlackHat" or "UN-ethical".....SOBEIT! Understand ONE thing.....THIS IS HOW YOU SELL....WHATEVER YOU'RE SELLING!

And remember my FIRST RULE OF SALES......"NO ONE WANTS TO BE FIRST"! If a potential customer/client SEES.....OTHER PARTICIPANTS IN the program......this "assures them" that.....THIS is A-OK!

"Hey! If Mark from TopBiz is in this....I guess it's OK"! Even if "Mark from TopBiz is NOT....."really" IN......YET! I WILL contact "Mark from TopBiz" AFTER I've got most of my spots filled in with "REAL" participants!

Anyways.....relax, I am NOT telling you to use "subterfuge" BUT.....this is what works for me!

What would YOU rather do.....show prospects a BLANK SLATE.....where they wonder IF you'll get this thing going? Or,.....a Slate where it "Seems" that there are 2 or 3 participants ALREADY IN?

If anyone viewing this has a "problem" with it.....maybe you should consider NOT getting in!......stay where you're at.....and.....understand ONE thing, I started out with selling Ad Spots on a Placemat in a restaurant in the small town of Rifle, Colorado. When I got permission from the restaurant owner to provide him with 10,000 FREE Placemats.....and proceeded to go to local biznesses with a "BLANK" Demo Placemat.....NO ONE WANTED TO BE FIRST!

When I came back the next day with THREE Ad Spaces taken (bogus) EVERY biz owner I spoke to.....BOUGHT!

So.....again, thanks for letting me expound.
