Actually, you are wrong. I used to think somehow like you, but IamNRE is right, I used to work only with some big clients before, and now I only have lots of smaller clients, but lots of them, talking about thousands here. You just need to provide value to them, and dont start with the arm and drug dealers. We are talking about real businesses here, also you could be a corrupt policeman, but come on, we are just talking about im.

Ok, if you say I am wrong then I must be wrong.

My point was this. Take the guy who programmed and sells scrapebox or senuke. Those are not products for the masses. But take the tons of guys trying to do dating affiliates or CB products (aka serving the masses).. the real money aint necessarily at serving the masses, au contraire.

and yeah, i agree for the guns/drugs, its a bit far fetched.. scratch that.

Give 100k people what they want every month... and 100k people will give you what you want.

That real money is in helping people.

When you truly become an internet marketer then you will see the internet as one huge "village", where everyone needs something.
That is where the money is at, because money is just a medium for covering everyone's needs and getting your needs covered.
So online, the rule you need to understand in order to make money is very simple
Traffic + Content = Money

However, the real IM'ers, see that equation with a huge spectrum of all the different types of Traffic and Content that exists. Non-Im'ers have a problem seeing that, because they lack the networking and access to various types of Traffic and Content. Therefor, in IM is really all about the connections you have, the access to all the different types of Traffic and Content that exists, and how efficient are you at acquiring these resources below market value.

Why do I say below market value? Because in IM you there are content providers, ranging from the 2-3 dollar per article all the way to the 20-50 dollar per article, just like how there are those xrumer and scrapebox fiver gig blasts all the way to the 200-400 dollar seo services. The same applies for cheap designers, and cheap programmers, all the way to the really skilled designers and programmers.

When, you realized that everyone of these people are really good at something, then you can see how they all market their products and services have a huge margin that is way above what it costs them to produce. The ones that actually make a killing online, are those that can have access to all of these people services and products at way below the market value. How does this happen? Simple, lets say you have a designer who makes really well designed pages, but lacks marketing skills and seo on her business. If you are able to provide her business some linkbuilding seo for exchange of some landing pages,from some seo linkbuilder who lacks a well designed site for his seo business, then you can actually make money off both parties.

How? It is very simple if you think about it. The designer, charges xx hour, because she needs to make her time worth it, same as the linkbuilder. However, when both are in need of another service, they always usually pay with cash, that is why they always market their services with a huge margin(so they can use their cash to buy other services and products for their business).With this in mind, the one that has access to a huge array of designers, programmers, content providers, link builders etc. that can provide you with their services at way below the market value,by using their network as leverage,has the ability to make a killing on both ends.On top of that, by combining all of the skills, services, products from all of the different providers from your network to make your own product, service to market to the masses.

In other words, the real IM'ers who actually have assets online and make real money, aren't really programmers, or the best designers, or the best manual link builders. they are those that provide B2B to get access to below market resources so they can then sell them to the masses. Look at the most successful IM'ers and you will see they hardly ever customize their own sites, migrate their own sites, program their back end system, design their sites.They put the right person for the job,with the right skillset to do it for them.They have access to a wide network of people who are efficient at one skill or produce x product, then they leverage this access to provide the needs of someone else on their network. Even better, they use this network to put on the market products, services for the masses at market value.


So just look at the internet as one huge freaking "village" , where everyone lacks something, and everyone is good at something. Leverage your network and your resources to help them with the needs they have, so you can get access to their network, skills, products, services w/e it is. Only then, you will see the true potential of where the real money is at.

If you want to learn more about this. I would suggest you read Peter Drucker books

The real money is in financial offers ( logical hehe ) and you can get into that business only with high quality email / calling lists or SEO, if you are damn good at it.
