Regards,<\/em><\/p>\n Bob.<\/em><\/p>\n So I may reply with something along the lines of:<\/strong><\/p>\n Hi Bob,<\/p>\n Can you let me see your existing products and websites so I can possibly give you a few pointers?<\/p>\n Regards,<\/p>\n John<\/p>\n I wonder if you can see where this is going?<\/strong><\/p>\n Hi John,<\/em><\/p>\n I actually don\u2019t have a website or product of my own\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n Regards,<\/em><\/p>\n Bob.<\/em><\/p>\n Need I say any more? How can Bob expect to make any money online if he doesn\u2019t even have a website or product of his own? Now I know some of you will say you can make money as an affiliate or just use eBay but show me one successful marketer who does not have a product, service or website of their own? Sure, there may be the odd one but I assure you there wont be many.<\/p>\n And while you may find success with one product or service the key is to keep building and growing. Like I have said many times the key to success is multiple products building multiple lists.<\/p>\n I actually bought another domain myself in preparation for my next product which will be titled Resale Rights Roadmap. This takes me to well over 100 domains. Here\u2019s a screenshot to prove it:<\/p>\n And in fact things are growing so fast now I need a dedicated server as you can see above. But will I stop here? No way! I can see myself in a few years owning thousands of domains and products. Or at least that\u2019s my long term goal. Thousands of websites all bringing in a little here and there and all building my subscriber database.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not rocket science<\/strong>, the more products you create and the more websites you own means you make more money. I\u2019m sorry if you have heard me say this before but that\u2019s the truth.<\/p>\n So if you still haven\u2019t even created your first product or website why not?<\/p>\n * Is it lack of confidence? Let me tell you these are just excuses. Let\u2019s address these situations:-<\/p>\n Lack of confidence.<\/strong> Lack of time.<\/strong> How long are you spending on the internet per day wasting your hours away on the forums, YouTube,\u00a0 MySpace, FaceBook, etc. A few hours a week spent working on a new product instead of wasting your time on useless websites means you can begin to make money online. And I know for a fact you do have spare time or you wouldn’t be reading this right now. So please don’t let time become an excuse as we all have a little spare time.<\/p>\n Lack the skills required.<\/strong> Six months ago I didn\u2019t have my own blog and knew nothing about blogging. In fact I had to get help with the installation of this blog. But now I am teaching others how to build a blog through my coaching program. All because I learned everything I needed to learn about blogging. So if you lack the skills required simply learn. And if you don\u2019t want to do that simply go to Elance<\/a> and pay someone to do what needs to be done.<\/p>\n I actually know one successful marketer who earned over 100k last year and he can\u2019t even upload a website to his webspace, but does this stop him? No, he just finds someone who can do it for him.<\/p>\n For me personally I would rather learn but this shows you that lack of skills is just another excuse.<\/p>\n So my advice to you is stop making excuses, get to work, get creating your own products and start making yourself some money \u2026 It really is as simple as that.<\/p>\n Feel free to share your comments below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I receive emails similar to this usually on a daily basis: John, can you help?

\n* Is it lack of knowledge?
\n* Is it lack of time?
\n* Is it lack of skills.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nIf you lack confidence you just need to do it, once you get your first product created you will wonder what the fuss was about. Let me tell you I was nervous when I launched my first product and I know most marketers were exactly the same. But you need to overcome this hurdle one day and today would be a good day to start. As you begin to create your product your confidence will grow so there really is nothing stopping you.

\nLack of knowledge.<\/strong>
\nThis is a biggie, for example let me tell you now I know nothing about growing a beautiful garden and if you seen my garden you would know this is true:-) But I have the biggest research tool at my fingertips. It\u2019s called the internet. After a few hours research I could know everything there is to know about growing a beautiful garden. I am now an expert. So unless you don\u2019t have internet access (and you do or you wouldn\u2019t be reading this) there\u2019s no excuse for lack of knowledge.<\/p>\n
\nI have no time! Wow, if I had a dollar for every time I read this. Do you watch TV? I\u2019m guessing the answer is yes. Well take an hour a day out of your TV schedule and you have 7 hours per week to dedicate to creating your first info product.<\/p>\n
\nAnother biggie. I lacked the skills required to create a lot of my own products. Do you know what I did? I learned what I needed to learn. Here’s an example.<\/p>\n
