Put all your eggs in one basket

[albaniax]

Seriously, think about it.

I mean for people who haven't made any side capital and just want to make money first off, it's a better way to put everything in one basket.

This can lead to make you in one part way better then your competition in your market.

Focusing on one thing, so that you know all the edges and the in's and out's about your product/service.

Diversification in the early stage can make you know about a lot of pieces only a little bit, and can lead therefore to failure.

"Destiny grants us our wishes, but in its own way, in order to give us something beyond our wishes."

The plan is

Put all you eggs in one basket, than when u have everything working properly

Get more eggs and put in other basket, than when u have everything working properly

Get more eggs and put in another basket,....

You get the ideia =)

dont spread you stuffs right away, focus on one thing at a time, and when ur good than find other method and do the same thing.

in the early stages you will make money only if you focus on something. so focus, than when you are making steady money keep this basket and start to fill another one.

I'm pretty sure when people say "Don't put all of your eggs in one basket" on this site, they mean spread out all of your offers across multiple networks. They're usually referring to email submits on content lockers.

I thought the best way is to rob the Easter Bunny,and take his basket of eggs.

My eggs are in my fridge.

the good: you can focus on only one thing
the bad: you can lose everything at once if something happens (this happened to me).

The best approach is to focus on one thing until it makes some money, the go and make something else.

Putting all your eggs in one basket is only a temporary solution.

 

[shiloz]

Yes you're right, especially when you have lots of competitors in your niche that you want to succeed in.

 

[swecmzkor]

I agree, i had to quit my 9-5 job before I became successful.

 

[timmylang]

I disagree. You have to have a built in back up plan so you dont land flat on your face.

 

[PinguSpy]

You can't do that..
Put all eggs in one basket is the main reason why most people fail in IM.

We need other basket as a "back-up" ..

 

[Gormagor]

Tell that to the people who put all their eggs into BMR.

Internet Marketing can be considered your "one basket," diversify within that one field. Think of yourself as a digital grocery store owner, and like your physical counterpart, you may just have 'one basket' in your store, but you don't just sell one thing in your store.

your idea is good but i like this quote more

"Work so hard that one day your signature will be called an autograph"

 

[QuiGloriam]

Never put all your eggs in one basket!!

If you want to focus in one things, let's say SEO services don't do that.

Because for example if you are only offering private posts and your sites get deindexed you will lose all.

Specialize on SEO services but diversify:
-Private network
-Some bots
-Scrapebox...

If you do micro niches sites don't put all eggs in one basket, if you use adsense and you get banned you will lose all. Do micro niches sites with diversification... CPA, affiliate and adsense.

All eggs in one basket and focusing is not the same thing, you may be focus and diversify at the same time

 

[IamNRE]

I agree.

When starting out its best to focus on 1 small niche area.


Then as your resources grow, expand and diversify!

I would go all in on one website, generate a lot of income and then sell it.

Of course, that's not what I was saying. I've been already through that.
I'm thinking of idea's, who stick long.

Not like internet marketing as off SEO, CPA, Torrents, ewhoring , ..basically making profit by getting into system's - instead my point is, YOU should be the system.

Take the iPhone App Instagram as an example. iPhone user's want things to have easy, and Instagram is the same thing, like when I was downloading "Photoshop actions" from Deviantart and just pressed "run" years ago. It made beautifull pictures! Instagram is basically the same thing, just built into an famous gadget and made that easy, that everyone can use it.

The IDEA should be, what you really need to work at if you want to be really successfull in this new age economy.

 

[SocialNetworks]

Disagree and agree.

The basket should be a niche with smaller micro niche baskets to diversify. Know everything about the one niche and focus on the micro niches to provide security should something devistating happen to avoid a free fall.
