My Teenager Will NOT Flip Burgers. She’ll Start This Business Instead

December 26th, 2016   |   By Tom Woods

One of these days my 13-year-old is going to need to start saving for a car.

I told her: you can work toward that car with a $7.25 burger-flipping job, or you can start a business, build a portfolio, and position yourself for college (she’s going into a technical field that requires it).

She was intrigued.

I showed her how she and I (and eventually, she alone) can build the kind of basic websites a local business needs. And there are tons of businesses without one.

They’re at risk of becoming invisible.

They pay hundreds of dollars to be in the Yellow Pages, which nobody uses anymore.

Now, when we drive around town, Regina points out businesses and wonders which ones have websites.

I know some web design people will be horrified: “Woods,” they’ll say, “you need all kinds of technical know-how to create whiz-bang websites!”

Local businesses don’t need and shouldn’t want whiz-bang websites. They need something simple and attractive. That’s what Regina and I will do.

You know these businesses need websites, and you know nobody else is approaching them with an offer to build one.

This is the kind of situation that should shout OPPORTUNITY at you. This is your future side business.

That future begins after our how-to workshop. Sign up:

Facebook Is Run by Creeps. But It’s a %&$#!@ Gold Mine

December 23rd, 2016   |   By Tom Woods

You may as well go ahead and have your limbs removed if you’re not using Facebook to promote your business, or to support your earn-dough-online efforts. Because that’s metaphorically what you’re doing to your chances at success.

I’ll bet many of you have no idea what you can do with this thing. Check this out:

(1) I can pitch RonPaulHomeschool.com to people who have expressed an interest in both Ron Paul AND homeschooling.

(2) I can target people who have visited my site but not yet ordered. This is called retargeting, and it’s incredibly effective.

(3) I can upload my email marketing list to Facebook. Facebook will then find the people on my list if they have Facebook accounts, and show them my ad. So even if they don’t open my emails (can you imagine that??), I can chase them around Facebook until they engage with me.

(4) I can have Facebook create “lookalike audiences” — people whose characteristics are the same as those who already follow me, or subscribe to my email list, or whatever. And then I can pitch my ads to them, so I never run out of people I can market to.

Folks, this is the tip of the iceberg. If you’re not learning and mastering this, do you see the advantage you’re handing your competitors?

Fortunately, Kevin Fahey once again comes to the rescue. He’ll show you how to do this. It’s one of the oh, I don’t know, 8 zillion things he teaches inside IM VIP Training.

Now do you see why I bought the lifetime membership?

Kevin’s giving you 7-day access to look around all his online-earning resources for just $1. Not to mention his private Facebook group, where some people on this very email list already have a thread going.

If there’s a more comprehensive site guiding you through everything you’ll need to know, I sure haven’t found it.

Looking for that side hustle or even to abandon a job you hate?

Then you have to do something.

This is step one of that something:

People Dumber Than You Are Making a Killing

December 22nd, 2016   |   By Tom Woods

You have options online. Among them:

You can create a product and sell it.

You can start a membership site for recurring dough every month.

You can start an online store and drop-ship physical products (an underrated option, by the way).

You can sell other people’s products as an affiliate and earn commissions.

Let’s focus on that last one.

The really good affiliate marketers are millionaires. The pretty good ones earn in the six figures.

There isn’t nearly as much competition as you’d think. In the Internet marketing world, for example, if you do an even halfway decent promotion of someone’s product launch, you’re almost guaranteed to finish among the top 10 affiliates and win a prize in addition to your commissions.

Some of these are really big prizes.

A lot of the time, people who aren’t particularly good writers (believe me, I’m on their email lists) and who don’t seem like they went to fancy schools are winning these prizes.

Here is the entire model they follow:

(1) Build an email list of people interested in their niche.
(2) Send affiliate offers to that list.

The bigger the list, the more they earn.

So:

(3) Keep building the list.

Yes, that’s really it.

Is there any reason you couldn’t start taking a crack at that a couple hours a week, and see what happens?

Here’s the tricky part: how do you drive traffic to your website or squeeze page so you can start building that lucrative email list?

How do you find out about products to promote and when they’re launching?

This is the tip of the iceberg of what Kevin Fahey can teach you inside IM VIP Training.

I have a lifetime membership there. For just a few more days, Kevin is willing to give you access to his hundreds of training videos and PDFs for 7 days, for just $1.

After that, it’s 27 smackers a month.

If you don’t think it’s a goldmine, just cancel and depart as friends.

But come on: people with far less talent than you are winning prizes you should be winning, for a lot less effort than you exert on your own job.

Fix that injustice:

My First-Ever Tough Love Email to My List

December 20th, 2016   |   By Tom Woods

I sent this today. If you’re not on my entrepreneurship list (it’s different from the Tom Woods Letter), hop on at PathsToIncome.com and grab your copy of my eBook 5 Paths to an Online Income.

I’ve watched a lot of people make really, really bad decisions.

Academics are truly hopeless. Almost none of them can be bothered to learn how to promote their own work. Almost none of them have an email list. Almost none have a product — maybe a book here and there, but no upsell product: no courses, no membership site, no nothing.

Then they whine about their obscurity.

Know what, snowflake?

IT’S YOUR FAULT.

I will not be one of these lame email marketers who tells his list, “It’s not your fault you’re not succeeding!”

B.S. It IS your fault.

I see swamp dwellers with IQs of 60 winning five-figure affiliate contest prizes. If you’re not learning how to do that, is that the swamp dwellers’ fault?

A bunch of you took me up on this morning’s offer: get every single training product Kevin Fahey has ever produced for $1, for seven days. Don’t like it? Quit, and never see him again.

What I don’t get is why anyone wouldn’t do this.

You’re unhappy with where you are, you want a side hustle or perhaps even a whole new job (with no boss), and you’re looking for something better.

Well, beating out swamp dwellers for affiliate prizes sure beats 9 to 5.

Kevin is offering you access to all the knowledge you will ever need, period. Email marketing, Facebook advertising (I would be dead in the water without that), product creation, landing pages, and on and on. Every single thing every successful person online knows cold.

He is asking $1.

If you are thinking, “But I could buy some gum with that $1,” then I don’t know what to tell you.

If you don’t take action, the swamp dwellers win.

I want YOU to win.

That means knowing how to spend $1.

Now go pay Kevin a visit:

The Swamp Creatures Who Inhabit Internet Marketing

December 18th, 2016   |   By Tom Woods

The Internet marketing world consists of two kinds of people: reputable entrepreneurs who genuinely want what’s best for their followers, and knuckle-dragging mouth-breathers who just want to lighten people’s wallets.

Which group is dominant? The jury is still out.

One guy I can vouch for, based on my own experience, is the heroic Kevin Fahey.

Last year I joined his membership site as a lifetime member. I’m in his private Facebook group, too, and believe me: he knows a lot. I have sought his advice several times and always profited from it.

Tuesday at 8:00am Eastern Time he’s running a one-hour webinar to show you how to set up an online business.

There are lots of tools the best of the best use: conversion trackers, link cloakers, Facebook ads, PLR, autoresponders, and plenty more. That’s a lot to learn. Kevin will give you the crash course, and show you how these tools combine to create an online business.

Note: Kevin is not a millionaire, though I suspect he’ll be there within the next few years. He’s not going to show you pictures of himself with fancy cars, or women in bikinis. Beware all creeps who do that.

I’ll tell you what Kevin is. He’s very successful, and getting more successful all the time. He started online from ground zero: no email list, no marketing knowledge, no advantages. He had to figure it all out for himself.

I GUARANTEE you will not write to tell me: Woods, that was a waste of my time.

You’ll say: whoa, how did that guy teach me so much in an hour?

Plus, he’s from Ireland, and his accent alone is worth tuning in for.
