Some of you know I have published a lottery HOTSHEET for over 15 years, which I have mentioned on rare occassions, and gave a few details in my HOTSHEETS report about.
Hi Gordon and everyone,

There is a deep principle in Gordon's post...

The old (but true) cliche, to "sell shovels to gold miners"...

It can work for any trend you notice!

Instead of jumping on the trend yourself - sell "tools" for those who are jumping on the trend, to help them succeed...

To take an example, Twitter is big now. Of course, you can "join the crowd" and try to get thousands (or millions) of Twitter followers - which can be a good idea in many cases...

Others, however, have "sold shovels to gold miners" instead...

For example, Twitlonger, which lets you link via Twitter to writings longer than the 140 character limit, or Twitpic, which makes it easy to link to pictures...

(Twitpic apparently rejected a buyout offer of $10 million (http://techie-buzz.com/social-networking/twitpic-rejected-a-10-million-buyout-offer.html) last year, and apparently makes $1 million+ net profit per year...)

"Selling shovels to gold miners" I think is something you could do with any large trend...

Best wishes,

Dien

P.S. Oh, on Hotsheets... Be sure to get the real lowdown on profiting from Hotsheets here (click on the link)... http://www.hotsheetprofits.com ... As Gordon does, you can "sell shovels to gold miners" using hotsheets...!
