5 Bucks a Day

I am thrilled to be able to announce that I’ve purchased one of the premiere Internet marketing membership sites on the ‘net, Instant Cash Generators.

Originally conceived by JD Swanson, a young man in Australia that I’m thrilled to have become friends with for the last several months, ICG was developed to be an outlet for JD’s penchant for instant cash ideas. At the outset, it was promised that there would be a new idea 7 days a week.

Considering the other projects that JD became involved in, that pace of activity proved to be difficult to maintain, and since he has always been fond of flipping websites to others, this transaction was a natural. I’m thrilled that I was in the right place at the right time to snag this gem.

I’ve spent the last week or 10 days completely redesigning the site, including the sales page, the inner pages to make them easier on the eyes, and the method of delivering the ideas.

And, now, I hope to be able to consistently deliver new cash generating ideas a minimum of 4 times a week without a problem. I’ll do that by incorporating an inventory of over 100 ideas left behind by JD, some of my own ideas, and those of some of the brightest up and coming IM minds around.

If you haven’t heard of Instant Cash Generators before, you will soon be hearing a lot about it. Our members are receiving information that could change their lives, in fact …

I can say the above confidently because ICG changed my life. When I wrote “5 Bucks a Day“, I wouldn’t say I was a rookie in Internet marketing, but I would say I was unprepared for success as an Information marketer. Sure, I had done well with AdWords campaigns, but it was my first e-Book, and I was thrilled that so many people said so many good things about my writing.

So to repay their kindness, I started a forum where readers could interact with myself and other readers. Most of the forum is only open to those who’ve purchased the book.

As that grew, I knew I wanted to take it to the next level, but I didn’t know how. Since I was giving free access for life to those who paid a small price for a book, it was a dilemma that gave me some sleepless nights. I knew I couldn’t start charging membership fees when I promised free access, but I also knew I could do so much more if I had some financial resources to draw from.

Then I found Instant Cash Generators. JD was a fan of membership sites, and talked about how to set them up, even pointing to a piece of software that made it dead simple. It started me thinking, but still there was a turning point about to happen.

One early morning, I saw that JD was offering reseller licenses to allow others to sell the right to access ICG. I grabbed a license, and offered it to my members at 5 Bucks a Day. When I saw the reaction, it was like I had struck gold. I decided to start my own membership site.

Soon after that, I started Earn1KaDay.com for those that wanted to learn more. For example, it started with my previously secret methods of succeeding with what I called Mini Money Sites. I was giving away my methods and my software and creating competition for myself, but now I was helping some people truly be successful where they had failed before.

I also provided free access to ICG to members, among other benefits.

Over the months since then, Earn1KaDay.com has grown into one of the most respected IM sites on the Internet, and it might have never happened if I wouldn’t have joined ICG, and …

in addition, I took action, which is the most important thing to remember. Ideas without action are worthless.

Willingness to take action without good ideas is better, but still virtually worthless.

Better yet, good ideas coupled with action, will make you successful.

And best of all, good ideas, made unique by thinking outside the box, plus massive action, will change your life.

I think Earn1KaDay.com is changing some lives for the better, but I think ICG has the ability to go even further. If you’re a member, thank you, whether you purchased your membership directly from me, whether you purchased it from JD originally, or if you purchased it from an authorized reseller.

I’ll do my best to never let you down. It changed my life, I want it to change yours as well.

I can never say it enough, I wrote about it in 5 Bucks a Day saying it was a key part of the strategy.  It took me from quiet desperation to success virtually overnight.

Focus.

The more I’ve incorporated it into my daily routine, the more I seem to see others talking about the advantage of focus.  Did I just not notice before, or did my book have some effect?  Doesn’t matter.

Again, I’m going to print a quote from an interview with JD Swanson that I mentioned a couple days ago.  JD’s been incredibly successful at a young age, and granted an exclusive interview by email to one of our forum moderators.  Here’s a question and answer I picked up on in rereading the interview just now:

3. Was there a point where you just weren’t “getting it” regarding marketing? If so - what was the major concept /idea /experience that really put your internet marketing on the path to sucess, your turning point so to speak?

Hell yes! I couldn’t understand why I could spend 14 days living in woodlands and snow with little food and sleep and get what I needed to get done yet still not make a $1 online in a comfy office. I felt stupid. I really did. I couldn’t understand how a fully grown man with some intellect cannot for the life of him make even 1 red cent online.

I was almost tempted to go out in the woods and try and make money. I thought the comfort thing was the problem. The problem was I didn’t focus on one thing and get it done. I had no plan.  

There we go again:  “The problem was I didn’t focus on one thing and get it done.”

The most successful people in any field, and JD is a huge success in his, are insanely focused on one thing at a time.

Thomas Edison focused on his belief that he could invent an incandescent light bulb, you all know that story.

If you want to succeed, you have to have a specific goal (not just a dream or a wish).  You have to have confidence that you can succeed in attaining that goal. You have to list the steps it will take to achieve that goal.  And then you have to focus on taking one step at a time.

If you do that, you’ll achieve your goal.

Now let’s be serious here.  If your goal is to make a trillion dollars this year, that’s probably not achievable.  If your goal is to beat Tiger Woods in golf and you’re currently an out of shape duffer, that’s probably not achievable.

But if your goal is reasonable and attainable and you can muster the confidence that you can achieve it, you’re half way there.  Focus will get you the rest of the way there.

Don’t believe me?  Try it.  Then get back to me.

By the way, if you enjoyed that little snippet from the interview with JD, you can read the entire interview by joining either Earn1KaDay.com (my site) or SellYourWritingOnline.com (JD’s site).  You won’t regret it.  The links are on the sidebar to the right.

I’m going to be quoting from a really spectacular interview today, and probably several times in the future. You’ll be getting information here that isn’t available to the general public, and I hope you take advantage of it. It will make you money, I guarantee you, if you listen to some of the quotes I’m going to print here. In fact it could make you 6 figures annually. Or more.

First as a preface to this first quote. If you haven’t heard of JD Swanson, to make a long story short, he’s an Internet marketing genius. He’s been a mentor to me, even though I’m old enough to be his father, but that doesn’t matter on the Internet, does it? For all I know he could be lying about his age and only be 15. Not a problem. He’s still a genius in my mind.

Two of JD’s marks on the IM scene are membership sites, Instant Cash Generators and Sell Your Writing Online, where he regularly dishes out ideas that make people money. JD’s heavy into things that make him instant cash, and he doesn’t mind sharing those ideas.

Beyond that, he’s a regular contributor to my membership site, Earn1KaDay.com, and he agreed to do an interview for us, he took a couple dozen prepared questions and wrote from the heart, the interview was just recently uploaded to Sell Your Writing Online. I’d recommend you join, what you’ll learn from this interview will more than make up for a year’s worth of membership fees, most likely.

Today’s quote that I want to share with you was in answer to a question about coming trends. Here’s what JD had to say:

If you sell a product for $10, give $100 value. Simple. Overdeliver. No matter what you do, just over deliver and you will always have happy customers and more then you can handle. Trends come and go, good business models last forever.

If you use that advice as your business model, you can’t fail. For example, one of our other members at Earn1KaDay.com published a report telling how he got started to his success. He took writing jobs, overdelivered, got great testimonials, loyal customers, and now he’s no longer able to take on new customers, even though he’s raised his writing rates 400%. All in the matter of just a few months. Unreal.

Do what you’re paid for and you’ll get paid. Do more than you’re paid for, and you’ll eventually (soon) get what you earned, and probably double that, in return.

Words to live by.
