The above video is mostly unrelated to this post, I just uploaded so I figured I would add it to this blog post. However, in some ways it is related because I struggle with the most basic technical stuff online. I barely can manage Facebook. I still don’t have the new “timeline” Facebook page or whatever it’s called. The heading on this blog says “Follow Jackie O’Quinn as he goes from struggling internet marketer to millionaire entrepreneur”. The fact is I started this blog long before I was ever even making a dime online. My first attempts at making money was in the internet marketing world. I have bought several courses on the subject, have a few friends that are making it work, however I still struggle to make this work at the most basic level. When I go to training events or any place where there are lots of people around that know my track record in business. I often get asked questions like how do you find clients. How have you made so much income working part time, most of your career. You know I have decided that most people overcomplicate and overthink success. What I have done, has been super super easy. I often feel like I have found the “secret money fountain”. That is no exaggeration.
I’ll even give you an example, this weekend I was in Los Angeles listening to Mrs. Dani Johnson, at a training event called First Steps to Success. Picture this, I’m on the front row, my beautiful Bride is beside me and we are both taking notes. I can’t remember if I turned my ringer off on my cell phone and I’m thinking how embarrassing that could be if it started ringing and I’m on the front row. So I slowly reach into my pocket pull out my phone and turn the ringer to silent. I notice I have an email and curiosity drives me to click on the button to see if it’s anything important. Low and behold, I have an email from a new client in the Netherlands who told me she just wired me the money for our company’s Platinum Travel Package. Now, that meant that I had just earned a profit of almost $10,000 with her purchase. I almost jumped right out of my seat! I composed myself, kept a poker face, and just let out a smile, while I thought to myself, “What an incredible life I get to live!”
It did take me a little while to find the right formula for success in business. However, I found that formula only after a lot of frustration. Once I figured it out, it has become super easy and I just keep cranking the same formula over and over again. I recently decided that it would be cool to create a little side project where I would create a small video course and essentially give it away for free. The idea is to just give back in a way that a brand new person could watch this free video course and save themselves a lot of time and headaches and start making money sooner by avoiding some of the costly mistakes that I made. However, that is my next problem… lol. I have no idea how to market this. It took me almost an hour to set up an aweber account, survey, and a Facebook ad. Then my Facebook ad was disapproved and I’m not sure why. So I decided to go to Google adwords and attempt to run the ad there… ugh it still didn’t work. I know you have to be wondering how in the world do I make money if I know nothing about marketing? Well the answer is simple. I have outsourced it for cheap… It looks like I may have to do the same thing if I want to get this course out there. Through it all I have found a great name for myself “The know nothing entrepreneur”. It’s times like these I realize how much I really don’t know and it you don’t need to know much to be able to earn $100,000 or more part time… That should give you hope.
Thanks for reading,
