I've been here before but I just set up a new nickname since it's been a few years since I was last here....
Okay here's the situation....
I have a system that seems to work for making money online. I did far better than average with it in the past. Like it was a full time successful business for me for man years. My challenge is that basically it's got a lot of problems.
here's why....
I have this concept for what I call a "means to an end service". It sells great. The problem is the service is "so so", because it's a "means to an end type of service" but it isn't "the end". So it can tend to generate a higher than normal amount of customers that are not lets just say "stellar happy."
I'll give you an example of what I mean....
A old fashioned Match Making service. (and my idea has nothing to do with dating industry this is just an example) Something like the TV show Millionaire Matchmaker. She provides a "means to an end" but she can't deliver "true love". That's random, beyond her control. Thats' exactly how my service is. I can provide only so much, what happens after that is beyond my control. But the problem is that a lot of the customers might not understand that, so in the past there was blow back as a result of doing this.
........................But again.... it made good money for many years.
So I'm just debating if I should try it again. I say again because I got shut down (lets just say) before, but nothings been decided on that yet. (that's a long story)
But I have everything razor refined so I'm pretty sure I could get this to work again if I tried.
The alternative is try something completely new, that's unproven, that I have no results with, no experience with, and of which most of the ideas are done to death. So on the other hand.... there's my good unique service that I know works and is not done to death at all. And I'm pretty sure people would buy again.
I was thinking that as long as I offer just "stellar customer service" this time I don't think I'd run into any major problems with it. Last time I was lazy and I realize the error of my ways.
so what should I do??? I just wonder, as I don't want any more trouble but at the same time I spent like over 10 years developing my old system which works very well. I'd hate to just throw the baby out with the bathwater.
What would you do???
(because my thought is making money online is so hard as is, let alone having to reinvent the wheel, arrrhh. The other problem being I have no income at the moment so I'm basically tempted to go back to what works. There's nothing illegal about it at all infact or anything like that, but it's a challenging business that's all.)
