For instance;
Giving an idea of a service to provide someone else for a profit is good.
Providing the means (How to sell your service) along with the idea of a service to provide, is better...
Showing the way to find those to sell to along w/ the two just mentioned above, is the BEST...

There must be TRILLIONS of "money making ideas" available online.

The "ideas" are not enough.

There needs to be methods to profit from these 'ideas' such as, door to door, email, telemarketing, etc...
Even w/ the methods, there needs to be a source to profit from the method of selling. (Prospecting)

So, basically, what I'm saying is,
1. You need the Idea,
2. the method to marketing the idea, and
3. the source to market to (prospects)...

I would like to see more ideas on, for example,
"How to make $100 p/ month"
or
"How to make $100 p/ day"
[You get the idea]
w/ ideas, marketing, and prospecting combined...

Another thing that would be great would be to combine the above in an 'Ask [the Expert(s)] Anything" thread...

Such as:
Combining the "How to" idea w/ an individual's current skillset / abilities...
Ex. My Programming / Web Development Skills / Content Writing / (etc.,) how to market, how to find those hungry for what I do...
(just a sample for the idea... )

Or, for different 'Home Improvement" Niches, such as;
* Pressure Washing,
* painting (interior / exterior / etc... ) houses,
* window washing,
* landscaping / lawn care,
* pool maintenance,
* house cleaning,
* auto-detailing (cleaning),
* handyman services / home repair,
* pet sitting,
* dog waste removal / dog walking,
* errand running / grocery shopping,
* home (onsite) pc repair,

etc., etc., etc...

Just My input...

Thanks!

Thanks Christopher,

Dien may have his own take on this, but mine is..

The forum, by it's own limitations doesn't really allow more in depth coverage, which is why we have over the years provided several other avenues to get the "details" of many ideas out there.

Dien has published hundreds of detailed articles, including the 3 things you cited, in his HIDDEN BUSINESS newsletters and his books. Sure, there are all kinds of these idea things floating around, I used to get them all...

but most of them lacked in the MARKETING how to, which is what Dien added to his newsletters.

Where warranted, we have set up several sub forums and even private membership groups to give a place to exchange in depth information and how to type stuff. We've had blogs too. And, or course we've offered Specialty Reports as a way to get more in depth coverage too.

My opinion, is ASK the questions you want answered, and as often as not some member of the forum has the real life experience to give a battlefield experienced response.

You are right in noting, in most instances, there is a glossing over of the really important stuff, like HOW TO MARKET AND SELL.

Our 17 year archive is loaded with answers. But we are always open to new ideas and concepts, thanks.
