Be different. Do what excites you. Be an ENTHUSIAST
I was thinking today, I had been reading an Internet Marketing forum, and I saw an offer. Basically it was another set of websites premade and full of content and the guy selling them was saying about how much money we would make from using these websites. He wasn't charging little money we are looking at about $50 apiece, the plan was to sell 50 of each site.
It made me think, the guy who designed these sites and built them. Well, he has an interest he is enthusiastic about the sites and he claims the sites have done well in his care, and has earnt good money from them, a little strange, because they don't have any Alexa rankings and negligable traffic. But who am I to know.
The people to whom he sells the sites – I think most of them are looking for a way to make money and are hoping that this thing will be the thing and that these sites will earn them some money.
Do we really need another website about acne?
Do we really need another website about affiliate marketing?
Does the world really need another cookie cutter site about some kind of aspect of health or beauty?
I don't think so.
What the world needs is people who are enthusiastic about something. We need to be enthusiasts – then we can make acne or affilaite marketing come alive.
We need to concentrate on adding value, to giving something extra to the world not just another copy of something that somebody else has already made.
It may be that we start off with something that somebody else made, a template. We do that all the time, but it seems to me that success comes when we add value, not simply to copy and stamp out another copy.
Sometimes I wonder whether what I do and whether the small money I earn is because I am enthusiastic about what I do.
The world doesn't really need another article directory, but some for reason we have something that works.
THe other websites that we used to build and sell work; I was and am an enthusuast about them. I researched and I designed the model. I experimented with them, and make them work.
So is the real truth, the real secret of what we need in order to succeed enthusiasm and added value?
To make something new to the world?
To add to the world not just to spread out what is already there?
Perhaps those who are successful in the longer term successful becasue they add value to the world?
I think that ultimately it's because we are adding value that the enusiast can make yet another site about acne, becasue the enthusiasm brings some added value.
I think I know the answer. Anybody who talked to me about things in which I'm interested in the world of Internet marketing knows that I am an enthusiast about those things, but when I talk to other people often they seem jaded, they seem flat, and oftentimes they're not doing so well.
When the same people find something at which they can be enthusiastic something where they can add value the picture changes. All of a sudden the start to earn money.
What are you guys think? Is it enough to just do more of the same. Or should we look for a new something, a new way of adding value of making the world a better place?
