The results are in. Well, some of the results.
Yesterday, I wrote an email asking my readers for ideas. On how I could make more money. And I offered a $100 reward — if I run with the idea and it fails.
Result:
I got a small number of replies so far. Almost all the replies were thoughtful, serious ideas that could legitimately make me more money.
I’ve decided to try out an idea sent to me by Modern Maker Jacob Pegs. I’ll report on the final result of that — $100 or glory — by the end of this month.
The thing is, I would like to do more. Try out two, three, all of the ideas people sent me. All at the same time.
I’d also like to finish that book I’ve been working on for a while. Plus I’d like to go through my existing emails and package those up into even more books.
I’d like to create a couple new courses, or maybe a half dozen. I have ideas for a few workshops as well. Plus I’ve been toying with the idea of creating a community for a while.
I’d like to find new affiliate offers to promote… I’d like to come up with some sort of continuity program… I’d like to build up my list with more people with money.
And that’s just for this little info publishing business.
There’s a whole big world of money-making opportunities out there that regularly calls my attention and tempts me with the thought of cool new projects using skills and assets I already have.
All that’s to say:
I’m a moderately successful dude. And I have a moderately infinite list of possible projects to do, all of which sound cool, all of which which could make me a ton of money, all of which could be good for me in other ways.
But there are people out there who are vastly more successful than I am. And those people have vastly infinite lists of possible projects to do, all of which sound cool, all of which could make them a ton of money, all of which could be good for them in other ways.
You see the problem:
Infinite opportunities…
Finite time. Finite energy. Finite head space.
And that’s pretty much the argument for going to business owners and saying, “Hey. You. How about I just do this for you? Don’t pay me anything. Don’t stress about this at all. I’ll handle all of it. Just, if it makes money, you give me a share?”
These kinds of offers work. I know, because I’ve made them, and I’ve had them accepted.
I can vouch first hand that these offers can collect you — as the party doing the work — a lot of money.
You can go out now and start reaching out to business owners and saying “Hey. You.”
If that works, great.
But if not, then consider Shiv Shetti’s PCM mastermind.
Shiv’s got a whole system for how to find business owners to partner with… how to approach them… what to say to them… and how to deliver on work that makes the business owner free money, which they are then happy to share with you.
Oh, and there’s also coaches inside PCM to help you along. I’m one of those coaches.
