Ok, I've read Tim’s book. (A blog I follow recommended it) He had some tricks, some I knew, some were nice to find and I enjoyed a few of the urls he gave out.
But I am still lost on one thing, and I'd like some advice in mixing a proper drink without so much bitters.
Or Muse resurrection in my case.
I was never a business guru by any means,
But I've done the Internet thing for a while. Some dynamics seem to have changed in the last few years again on the money front, but I don't have a problem with being savvy about most things of the "internet" :web development, seo, oscommerce or other ecommerce solutions, gateways, adsense, adwords, affiliate programs, forums, rss, blogs, skype, open source, video development etc.. none of that really impresses me or is even a minor barrier.
as for freedom from the rat race factors, I do make a bit with affiliate programs and adsense here and there but nothing to really write home about.
For the most part, I've just been the work-a-day stooge that helped make miracles for others on the programming and creative side, and got little out of it (maybe I should move to India to sustain that station) but nah.
So now, I'm rebelling again, and Tim's book came along to encourage me.
He did speak my language in many ways.
So here I am on this forum.
I think what I'm still missing (and I worked this out years ago) is a workable product. That I (not the fella I work for) can make good dough using the skills I have.
I've considered drop shipping "stuff", but every drop shipper I find seems to register a 9 on the scam meter. Or has its products on webs 15000 times over.
I'd create an "expert" CD or ebook , but I can find a 1600 or more of those on all my pet subjects from different people in one search. But hey, I don't see how someone can make the money Tim claims on a body supplement either. So, in spite of my handy to others tech skills, I am just not up to the times and I need to get there.
But moreover, here are my questions that I'd like some feedback on.
1. When your "muses" resemble the hordes of mall zombies in a Tom Savini flick, how do you restore them? (ok I know the shoot them in the head trick),.
2. Ok , la la la , the Internet, how does one spot opportunity when little to nothing gets by your own personal scam filters anymore?
3. Ok, so I have an idea, but I can in-turn spend 40 seconds and find the hundreds who also had it and also have stuff about it on the net. So how does one find a muse that isn’t like just another pebble sinking in the sea?
