Yes, yes... I do ! :)

JV's are one of the fastest ways to growth.

Gillette is a great example. Lose money on the sale of the razor, make hudreds, if not thousands off the blades. Warrenn Buffet is a big investor in Gillette for that exact reason. He also owns McDonalds and Coca-Cola.

How do I get email from members here? I don't.

HA See since age 16 I always liked Gillette for that reason! :) Coca Cola was another one!

Oh I just get random emails about the stuff you and me write! That they are helpful and so on.

I did want to do something you talked about, as in give it away for free. I know AOL did this try it out for a month, (and they still charge you!) lol. There is one product i would give away for FREE, just cause in the long run the repeat business would be $35 per month per person! I would give them even 50% off first time or who knows! It's the long run that counts. This would only work with category #4 product. Not the 1st 3.

Also the marketing tip for free emails to subscribers is a very good idea I had found some last year but you had to pay and so on. Once I get fully set up, I would so do the email part, cause you can always offer 10% off and so on. One of the companies I buy my products from, emails me daily or every 2 days offering free shipping on items over $150 or 15% off this week etc. Really does help out a lot!

And about the JV idea, I was already thinking of putting it out in locations and telling people at those locations to send them my way to get $$$ per sale I would get. Or just tell them here you go, buy 50 of these, give them out, you make your money! And if they don't sell I'll buy them back from you within 6 months. So they have no risk at all and never lost a dime! I am also thinking of putting websites or something small with all my products very soon to drive traffic to a website. So I would be cutting ebay out. For this type of repeat business. I would save a lot of money on their final value sold items! $5 to $7.

As always nice talking too you man!!! :hail:

I've heard that about Gillete somewhere before... awesome ! :clap:

Need I say anymore..am a fiverr don :) earning money from my own vocals..and people last year on this forum laughed at me for earning $5 ..in the last two week from upselling on Fiverr i've made this..it's not bad for 2 weeks earnings..

Any of the things we talked about you are doing now currently?

This is amazing. Great job everyone for finding what is working for them! I hope to find my niche soon.

Hey Ghostwhowalks..mate was fantastic talking to you the other day on PM! How are you? No mate :) I'm just offering rapping, audio editing..my own hobbies really. Although am looking to go into another venture REAL SOON..on a seperate stealth Fiverr :)

lolll Sure sure, fiverr is not really my thing. Even if the money is better. I am looking for long term stuff, my ebay stuff pays more then just $5. I am good just tired here. Seems to be a lot for audio editing! Must be a new market thing! Good luck with it. I think the idea I had told you about is good! But you can't sleep at night lol.

Nice. Are you doing Voice Overs for videos?

I spend a lot with Fiverr on Internet Marketing related products and services.

Get those people on an email list and start a Relationship.

Sell higher end products down the road.

Hire a full-time VA (virtual assistant) like I do from Indonesia and the Phillipines for $300.00 month.

Take as many Fiverr gigs as you can and forward all the work to them.

All you do is Upsell more expensive gigs, write fancy emails (like me) and continue to add value for your customers. :typing:

You just live and breathe internet! It's amazing how one person can do so much money offline!

Very nice stuff! You got a crew going! :clap: :hail:

Nah Ghostwhowalks its a fantastic idea what you have..but i think it's saturated..way too many people doing it..but your idea gave me..an idea aha :) so yeah..and yeah if u can earn more elsewhere its good..but if your selling something you enjoy doing..then its good little pocket money..and am going to Ibiza in August+ Marbella in September so I need every penny..lol

I just earned $44 since my last post! I got an order for buy 2 get 3rd free! :)

So thats how many fiverr gigs? 8.8 :pound: And this is my new product! :D I started selling. I can't wait till I get 20 stealths going! OH yeah baby!

And got lots of watchers up on ebay. The thing is. I don't let people bid or anything just BUY IT NOW so once they got the funds they can make the orders and I don't got to wait around sitting!

Can life get any easier? Plus the other orders today! GWW = happy camper!

I'm all Internet based. Best lifestyle there is. I can make money from a cave as long as I can connect to the internet.

The best way to make money is from your Laptop sitting at Starbucks. That's honestly how I make my money.

Coffee shops, at home, on a cruise ship, etc... all Electonic goods.

I have 2 full-time VA's, first time I've heard them called a Crew, lol. I pay them less than $750 month Total. They earn more money than the average school teacher or police officer in their country.

And guess where they work? At home like me. :amen:

The only thing I don't like is that they are 12 hours ahead of me. I'm EST in the US. They start at 9pm MY time. So I can only chat with them via Skype between 9pm and 6am my time. That's why I am up half the night and sleep till noon.

Yes, I live the internet lifestyle you see on all those scammy infomercials, lol. :pound:

It's way easier than you think to make $10,000.00 per month if you can get out of your own way and fix your mindset (head).

That's why I had to become a darn PayPal Stealth expert. Need PP to collect for internet and pay my VA's.

Roscoe I think you hit the bullet on the head..I think i still have a bit to learn..but hopefully one day I can make that much :)

YOUR time is the most valuable asset you have. When you get to my old ass age you think about T-I-M-E all the friggin time. Big 60 is coming up fast for me. Wish I had the internet 30 years ago but I guess Al Gore was busy doing politics.

You have to Leverage yourself and your time or you will Limit your income like PP limits your accounts.

If you make $50 per hour, which is damn good money in the US. Let's say you work 24/7, that's a 168 hours per week.

$50 x 168 hours = $8,400.00 per week or 400k a year.

Is it realistic to work 24/7 and not sleep?

Let's just say I work less than 20 hours per week and I make that type of money. But I still don't sleep, lol.

How can I do that? All about leverage, outsourcing work, and selling the same product over and over.

What really sucks is I had to pay ebay $6.60 for a selling fee! I wonder if i would have AdSense or adwords would run me a lot cheaper then ebay would?

Dang I just made 9.95 times my money back! :O I got to cut cost still!!!

I am thinking of putting a letter with all my new orders with other products I sell so my buyers know about it in case they didn't see my scrolling gallery in my auctions!

Don't "think," just do it.

In marketing the only way to know if something works is to Test your method or tactic.

Whatever it takes to build an email list, a newsletter list (either by mail or email), visit your website, call your phone number, etc... then give the customer the most options to contact you or buy more product.

Yeah me too, make money from Japan or Africa as long as I got internet I be fine! And got someone in the US to ship out my stuff!

Yeah laptop ways of making money are so great man! I am in my bed in my CK all day! lol I am on my bed and earned more then what people earn in 8 hours!!!! And I did nothing!!!!! :) Best part! lolllll

Outch did you say cruise ship? That's got to be ****ty on a cruise ship paying that high internet price for very slow connection eh? But then again you got dail up so it's faster then that! LOLL

Well I got a crew of 4 people to ship my stuff but only 1 packages, so one of the other 3 at the house can drop off my stuff in a box and I always offer $5 paypal gifted for who ever drops it off as gas money. I wanted to hire a few people out of India a few years ago but then I figured a program build to my liking would fix this and come in way cheaper! Did you see my spamming program I posted? Well as long as you pay them well. How did you find this tiny crew? Freelancer?

Yes I would figure at home like you! lol.

I got a 3 watches set up on my website for me to know what time zones to post my products up on ebay! And the time of my friends and me! I am 6 hours ahead of you so be very jealous! :P I got to wait till late in the day time to see if xe.com rates change or not!

Yeah I see all those scammy infomercails those yours? lol.

Alright my mindset. What I'm I doing wrong? I am willing to learn/pay! lol. OR trade info but I think you got it all already!

Oh man you crack me up, reading your stuff is so darn, it's like not going to school but learning from home, and not knowing you are really reading something because it's so fun and I can enjoy it!

Me in my bed + laptop + chocolate milk + reading your stuff = I am having a damn good time! lol I still can't believe the sun glasses!

Best Jobs Philippines :: Philippine job search, job bank, employment and recruitment

I had to use the cruise ship internet lounge to contact my VA's.

Biggest thing Stopping ALL of us (incl me) is we don't dream Big dreams. We limit our Beliefs (like PP limits our accounts) and sometimes we are afraid of success or afraid of failure.

I think at some point I was all of the above.

It's also best to never tell family or friends about your dreams. They stopped dreaming long ago that's why they are stuck in their 9-5 gig.

When you start making more money than the President of the US you'll start to lose a LOT of friends. They can't keep up with your lifestyle and they get mad at themselves because of YOUR success.

Why do you think rich peple only hang with rich people?

So I am guessing these guys are pushing the sales or emails ORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR they are doing that part when you sleep they are working $50 per hour right? I should pretend to live there and get a message from you to hire me! Lol JK! lol. Those guys are lucky working for the GREAT ONE! LOL

Yeah when you make big bucks who cares use internet even me at times I paid up to $2 per minute. I am not afraid of anything. I have big dreams, I just seen a house in Florida an hour ago for $39.95 million. I want a Private Jet $80 million, I want 500 exotic cars (parking lot for it) I got a list of 125 cars. I want a big yatch! A few big houses all around the world! That's my dream! And be so rich I just live off the % and never look back when I spend!

I been a dreamer since I can remember at a young age thinking of ways to earn $.

I already lost most of my friends. I don't keep friends. All they want is money from me! To barrow or what not. I don't give! Too me they are losers! I don't want to be around people like that, I can't learn anything from them. They are no fun, they spend their money on dumb things and then say they don't have any money! Idiots, living for the moment are always poor! President makes what $250 or $320k now days? Maybe even $400k. I did my one friend a favor. I made him an auction like I did for mine. The style took me 5 hours to do. He would get sales!!!! You konw what he does?? His own gets 1 sold per month. I said screw it. I used it for my 2nd account and got 7 sales in a weeks time I didn't push for it, just tested it out. When you start it's always a bit slow then it kicks in.

I don't want to hang out with losers honestly. I got a friend who when he gets 1000's he blows it all the same night! I can't deal with people like that who tell me "Spend your money man you are not doing anything with it" I am waiting for that time to invest in something I believe and trust. Not like they would do if they had my money. I asked a few of them what would you do with my money. They all said "party, go on vacation, buy things" it's like you losers!!!! That's why you work 9-5 and got nothing in life. They all want to make millions and don't do anything to get there!

testdog, I can't wait till you post a new thread called "My 2nd day on Fiverr"! because this one has gotten loooooong! haha.

Hahaha ! Made around 500 dollars up to this point :D So I hope this post covers the needs of a second topic :P

oh ok. :thumb:

hahahaha lol testdog = legend

Test dog nice you see you found a way to earn that money! :)

BRAVO CHAMP!

Now was this a skill of yours or something you seen and figured. "Hey I'll do the same" type deal?

Well I couldn't do that with just one category now that I have 2 of them. I can do it! Did you give nike that logo? "Just do it!" lol. Probably did knowing you! ;)

I was thinking in the middle of the night about you saying upselling them, I think I do that with my ads when I offer if they buy a 2nd one they get a 3rd one free.

think i might need to jump on fiverr.. hmm

I got another great idea using 2 sites then sourcing it using fiverr! OMG NICE!

Berkshire Hathaway, 3G Buying Heinz for $23.3 Billion

To continue my analogy about Warren Buffet and selling products that need to be purchased repeatedly, today the 2nd richest man in the world purchased Heinz Ketchup.

The largest buyout in history for a food company. Now he has a stake in Coca-Cola, Gillette, Heinz, Wells Fargo Bank, Kraft foods, United Health Care, GM cars, UPS, Phillips 66 gas stations, and many others.

What do they have in common that you should be selling?

Products that are used on a regular basis that has to be repurchased constantly.

His portfolio:
Warren Buffett Portfolio - 2013 Stock Picks and Performances

hmm interesting

.

I use to pick up Tomatoes in Leamington in Ontario with the trucking form Heinz to bring to NYC! They are also big and always needed!

But to make a product like that, that everyone can enjoy and like = billions!

Kraft foods is another one, cheap stuff! When you got money like him, you got money in all the right places! To bad you didn't met him in the youngers years!

They have products that are REPEAT CUSTOMERS! Well Fargo Bank is not in the same topic? United health care? Maybe Repeat memebers or customers monthly?

I have MIGHT lol have repeat buyers for my future product for sure 150%. But my current 2 are just money makers!

HA see repuchased constantly! K How about weebly.com and wix.com? They are websites that offer you services on a monthly scale! Like godaddy but they dont make as much as these guys but still in a digital world it's not that BAD!

P.S. How many people buy the same stokcs as he does that you just posted his Portfolio?

In this case people, sell whatever each store has in the food section! :)

Funny you should menton GoDaddy. Did you know that in 2005? when they ran their 1st Superbowl commercial with that woman who's bra almost pops off the company was Broke.


They invested 2 Million dollars in that commercial. They had almost no money left to pay rent and wages.

That superbowl ad launched Godaddy into the largest Registrar in the world.

Bob Parsons (previous owner) sold Godaddy for over 2 Billion dollars only 6 years later. That's right, 2 Billion: http://mashable.com/2011/07/02/godaddy-sold/

Bob Parsons 16 rules: BobParsons.me :: Bob's 16 Rules

Yeah I know about that one, old new seen it on cnn!

And that ad proved to be that WOMEN are good! :) For things like that, plus he had women all over the website!

Most billionaires these days are making it offline. At the start it was automotive along with oil, real estate. Now online world!
--------------------------
update!

See you have all these ideas and know how it was done and learning History of others making it big and you are using it and it's very useful is it not?

Problem is, godaddy got big very FAST! $8 what the public wants!

Ketchup has something all people love. = Taste.

Coca-Cola well, what can I say? It's first year they only sold 600 bottles! They didn't give up and good job!

Gillette - well they got stuff we need daily!

GM, self told in history.

You know what they all have you and me don't? THE IDEA TO BE THE FIRST AT DOING IT!!!!! We are what they would call "Bottom feeders" I sell stuff you can get at stores! There is $500 billion a year in the business. I don't even touch .01% of that!

K Maybe not GM, but Ford was!

People say. Apple is very good at marketing. I THINK/BELIEVE differently. All of you run a business on ebay, all of you don't want to risk a virus! So what do you do? Get the apple system. I know most of you, use it. Ipod was a great idea. Marketing it or not, I am sure everyone wants to replace a CD player, walk-man. Iphone got big cause people are already on their computers 12/7 so why not give them one something to be online while from work to the house! Any place! Mini laptop, iphone.

Maybe they are really good. But I've got ideas to improve a lot of products in this world. Not saying for apple but other products.

what a thread this is turning into :)

Steve Jobs was a genius at marketing. He kept new releases Stealth until the day of the news conference. They still do.

Personally, I could give a damn about some new phone, ipad, Macbook, etc... but, if you follow the cult-like company then it's a BIG deal.

I use Windows because Most of the programs I run are all designed for Windows. Very few software designers in the Internet Marketing industry build for Mac.

People will say you can run that Mac program that allows for windows but very few do in the real world.

Apple charges big Premiums vs competitors for the same product.

Apple is only sold by Apple stores or approved resellers.

Apple is cutting edge on design.

Appple has a cult-like following.

Apple is not trying to take over the world like Windows tried to do.

Apple has carved out a niche.

Apple stores are so Unique that they applied for a US Patent for store design. Can you beieve that? Microsoft copied their store idea,, now Apple is suing.

Apple does a lot of things right.

I still hate Apple, lol. :juggle:

P.S. I've spent a small fortune on Macbook Pros, iPads, iPhones, etc... for my kids. Apple sends me emails every week to build a relationship.

That's cause Apple loves your wallet! You can always unsubscribe to their emails with relationship!

I forward Apple emails to my kids who think Apple is the God.
