A strange request... Looking for a business to try

[GordonJ]

Here is what you are looking for:

It is a link to Mike McGroarty (I hope it is anyhow). It is MY affiliate link too. Let's get that on the table right up front.

He has done what you hope to do with his business:

It is automated online but uses OTHER people offline to tend to it.
Mike doesn't call people on the phone, attend meetings and it isn't MLM.
Mike sells an actual product that he has to ship (well, actually, NOW his hired part time assitants do all that).

I met Mike when he first started out. I watched him grow to a 100 thousand dollar a year plus INTERNET income, and he did it while working a full time job, taking care of sick parents, wife and tending to his kids.

He is for real. With his course and your 1-3 year plan, there is no reason why you couldn't reach your goals. I would hope that you'd think Mike is making "decent" money online. He is. But he has kept his job for reasons he's posted here and other places.

NOW for the disclaimer. YOU have to work to get it to the AUTOMATED level. There is the learning and DOING curve.

Well, now you have at least ONE real option. I can only assume that 1-3 year time frame is to be used to build a business up. IF you want it overnight, then this isn't for you, keep trying and let us know when you find it, OK?

PS. His actual product that he sells isn't about gardening, it is a set of Videos that teach people how to do what you want to. AND I'm an affiliate too also learning and applying what he has taught me.

Thanks Gordon! I've purchased one of Mike's ebooks in the past (not about gardening) but I probably started reading it and then never applied the information. Go figure.

Yes, I'd say $100K/yr is pretty darn decent money!

Totally understood!

You are correct. The 1-3 years would be to focus on building the biz, and hopefully then be able to have something on autopilot that continues to build.

I already visited the link and registered for his 8 page report.

Thanks again!

I checked out Mike's 8-page report today on the bus ride home from work. It's pretty general, which I can understand since it's really a sales pitch. However, it's the same stuff I've read on hundreds of other websites about affiliate marketing. I totally understand affiliate marketing and how to do it, but my problem is finding a good niche market to focus on. Everything I'm good at and interested in is way too general. For instance, money is probably my favorite topic. Anything from investing, to debt elimination, to budgeting, etc. How many gazillions of websites do you think are out there about that stuff?

Hi Max,

Keep in Mind...

There are "Tons" of Niches...

And all the little NICHES out there, and sub niches and sub sub sub, well, you get the pic.

What Most People Miss out on is the idea of Focusing on Particular Niche "Groups" of people and businesses.

Social Network marketing is Huge and Untapped, especially in Affiliate marketing.

Athough, it's important to 1st Learn the Basics...

Even if we Think we Do!
