A good way to start is with money, the amount you think you would like to make at the end of the year. THEN, you can create plans from the goal back to where you start.

Again, I doubt you get to 50k a month painting addresses on curbs.

I can vouch for that, in good areas painting curbs I use to make $200 to $800 for every day I posted magic marketing flyers on doors and panted curbs or install reflective address signs.

Then Lawrence who I got to know from SOWPUB showed me how to take it to to next level by seeding an area with a few signs and then going door to door with a sample sign in hand... show and tell... and as you said....

will have NO competition.

Make sense?

Being willing to Knock on doors and talk to people is something most people just won't do. Knocking on doors alone isn't going to get you to $50,000 per month.

David Ashley, the founder of Address America started by painting addresses on curbs and became a multimillionaire by teaching others to address houses using his marketing material and selling them the supplies to do the job.

A gusty person can still earn a good income knocking on doors selling stuff, but training a bunch of people to sell for you is much more profitable. There's power in numbers. Show and tell... to make money...show and sell something of value... to make more money.... show more to sell more.

An affiliate of a Clickbank product has the potential to make a couple of hundred a day... but the vendor who created the product can potentially have thousands of affiliates each making him or her $10 a day. 1,000 affiliates selling something of value that you supply can earn you $50,000 a month and more.

Cheers,
Steve
