For some people, it will be child's play. For some others, it will seem 'impossible'. For the rest, it's somewhere in between. Which group are YOU in? I'll take a guess. Because you're reading this book, I'll assume you are NOT in the first group... but want to be there! Great. That's what you'll learn inside this collection of plans, models and step by step blueprints to make $100 a day. But first, tell me which of these is YOU... [ ] I think it's IMPOSSIBLE to make $100 a day working online [ ] I feel $100 a day can be made by some people - just not me [ ] I know $100 a day is possible, I've done it - but not consistently Picked one of the 3 choices above? Good. Now, I'll reveal the BIGGEST secret that will make it possible for you to make $100 a day - every day, day after day, starting very soon. You Must BELIEVE It Can Be Done - By YOU I know it's hard. For the first 6 or 7 years of working on my online business, I did not believe it could be done. But things changed. I had smaller successes that gave me confidence and hope. And then, at last, I really believed deep inside me that making $100 a day was possible. Guess what? Within 1 month from then, I had my first $1,000 day. Yes, one THOUSAND bucks in 24 hours. It gets better. © 2007 The Internet Marketing Inner Circle Page 4 of 247 20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online 20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online Less than 3 weeks from that day, I had my first $2,000 day. I had DOUBLED my previous best in under a month! And there's more. Within the next 3 months, I had my first TEN THOUSAND dollar day - and then repeated that several times over the years that followed... even had one memorable $20,000 day! How did I break that mental barrier? What made that 'dream' possible? Seeing other people succeed. Being in touch with them. Finding out how they did it. Finally, one thing gave me the big shove in my back - John Reese's memorable MILLION DOLLAR DAY. It shattered previous barriers and limits inside my mind. It gave me the courage to dream bigger dreams. It gave me confidence to go after the bigger dreams - with bigger action steps. And because I believed, deep inside, in my heart, and with absolutely no doubt, it happened. Napoleon Hill, author of 'Think and Grow Rich' said it nicely: "Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve" Look, I can understand how you feel. It's perfectly logical to think: "I'll believe it when I see it." But let me give you an alternative that's more inspiring: "I'll see it BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT!" Make that your new reality, as we learn the specific action steps to make your dream of making $100 a day come true. = = = = What Exactly Is $100 a Day? Quite literally, it means, you make ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS in a day. © 2007 The Internet Marketing Inner Circle Page 5 of 247 20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online 20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online But like everything else, there are different ways of viewing this. $100 a day can also mean $700 a week. $100 a day can also mean $3,000 a month. $100 a day can also mean $9,000 a quarter. $100 a day can also mean $36,500 a year. All of these are different ways of looking at the same figure - and there's a reason you may want to pick one of these over the other... because I'm going to show you how to hit those numbers in your own way. If you're a strategic, future-oriented, long-term focussed business-person, you may like the annual figure better than the per-day target. If you're in need of urgent cashflow, and live in a more 'need quick cash now' mindset, the $100 every 24 hours view looks more attractive. So let's explore the different possibilities. = = = = Making $100 a Day - The Models Broadly, I'm going to classify your '$100 a day models' into 3 groups: - short term (measured weekly) - medium term (measured monthly) - long term (measured quarterly or annually) Short Term Models Note: All totals for income will be calculated on a WEEKLY basis. Let's first look at models that will let you make $100 a day - quickly. Model #1: Low cost, daily sales You sell a low-cost item (product or service) priced at $10. You make 10 sales every day. You earn $100 a day. © 2007 The Internet Marketing Inner Circle Page 6 of 247 20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online 20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online Simple, right? Weekly total: $700, from 70 sales, each at $10 The one difficulty is being able to make 10 sales every day, week after week. Model #2: Price hike Let's look at what happens if instead you sell a higher priced product, at $20 Now, all you need is to make 5 sales every day, and you reach your target. You sell a $20 item (product or service). You make 5 sales every day. You earn $100 a day. A bit easier, right? And 5 sales daily is easier than 10. Weekly total: $700, from 35 sales, each at $20 Model #3: Upsell Now, if you add another related product or service to your offer, and make it available to buyers at the same time, let's see what happens. You sell a $20 item (product or service). You make 5 sales every day. You earn $100 a day. You also offer a related item for $5. 1 out of every 5 buyers accepts your upsell offer. You earn an extra $5 a day. That sounds easy - and it just boosted your profits by 5% Weekly total: $700 + $35 - from 35 sales at $20 plus 7 people taking the upsell offer at $5 Model #4: One Time Offer Let's extend this further - by making a very special, exclusive offer to your customers AFTER they have bought from you. You put together a high-value package (products, services, membership or other) and offer it at a steep discounted price - but only for a very limited time (the 'one time' offer) You sell a $20 item (product or service) with $5 upsell. You make 5 sales every day. You also make a one-time offer for $50. 1 out of every 10 buyers accepts your upsell offer. You earn an extra $175 (on average) every week. © 2007 The Internet Marketing Inner Circle Page 7 of 247 20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online 20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online Weekly total: $910, i.e. $735 (from 35 sales and 5 upsells) + $175 (from 3.5 O.T.O. sales at $50 each) Do you see what you just did here? You gave yourself a holiday on Sunday - or any other day of the week you prefer! You'll still meet your $100 a day target, because of your O.T.O. and upsell. Model #5: Backend It gets better. If you've sold your customer a really good, high-value product or service, they'll be happy. And happy buyers very often BUY AGAIN. It's best to make another offer within a week after your first sale. You sell a $20 item with $5 upsell and $50 O.T.O. Within the first week, you offer another item at $25. 3 out of every 10 buyers takes you up on the 2nd offer. You earn an extra $250 from 10 sales. Weekly total: $1,160 ($910 from the first sale with upsell and O.T.O. and $250 from backend sales) Now you're rocking! You've just earned yourself a LONG weekend without working - and your business still brings in $100 a day, on average! Are you beginning to see the power in these models? Each small change builds up on the earlier ones, and gives you an incremental advantage as you ramp up your sales - or take more time off, whichever you prefer! Medium Term Models Note: All totals for income will be calculated on a MONTHLY basis. We've seen models that will let you make $100 a day - quickly. For those who are able to focus on sustained effort over a period of time, this may be a more suitable model than the day-to-day hustling for sales. Model #6: Continuity Let's get a bit more fancy. What if you go with a 'membership' model, where you sell recurring services or access to a regularly updated site - and bill customers every 30 days, automatically? © 2007 The Internet Marketing Inner Circle Page 8 of 247 20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online 20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online Even if your price is still $10 per month, by automatically continuing the sale every month, you'll earn a recurring income from every new member who joins. For simplicity let's assume, you offer this as a separate program (you could always tie it into the earlier models and earn MORE from those customers!) You sell a $10/month membership. You make 10 sales every day. You earn $100 a day. You repeat this for a month. After 1 month, even if you do NOTHING, you'll still earn $100 a day - for as long as your members remain in your program and keep paying monthly dues! Wow! For 1 month, it's HARD work - but see what happens after that? All you need to do is keep the membership so valuable and attractive that you retain your members and they keep paying you $10 every month, over and over again! You get to make $100 a day - literally on AUTO-PILOT. Looking easier - and more attractive - isn't it? Monthly total: $3,000 - from 300 members, each paying $10 every month Here's an exercise for you... Play around with the same scenarios we discussed earlier, with the price hike, upsell, O.T.O. and backend models ADDED ON to this one! Long Term Models Note: All totals for income will be calculated on a QUARTERLY or ANNUAL basis. We've seen models that will let you make $100 a day - quickly. We've seen a model where you can make $3,000 monthly. For those who don't mind deferring their profits to go for 'big hits', there are other models that may be more attractive. © 2007 The Internet Marketing Inner Circle Page 9 of 247 20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online 20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online Model #7: Build and Sell What if you build a resource, a business, a sales process, an eBay store or something that generates revenue (or has potential to) - and then sell it to a buyer (or license it to many buyers)? Model #8: Turnkey Solutions It may take you a month to build 10 content-rich minisites and set them up with a domain name, affiliate product selling page and more bells and whistles. You can then sell each of the sites for $300 - or the entire network of content sites for $3,000 - to a buyer or on eBay. Turnkey solutions can also be included into a 'membership' model - you won't have to keep hustling for sales, but just focus on delivering each month's installment to existing members! Model #9: Software Development If you are an expert in a niche and have identified the need for a specific kind of software or tool that solves a problem, you may spend 3 months developing it - and then sell enough licenses to hit your target. Model #10: Seminars & Consulting If it's your cup of tea, you could plan a conference, seminar, workshop or coaching program. Spend 3 months arranging the event, creating content, getting speakers, arranging JV deals - and then hold the event on 1 day, selling 100 seats at $197 each to hit your $100 a day target - even after expenses! There are many more ways to earn $100 a day and I hope you're seeing the possibilities. The rest of this book will have MANY step by step plans that will expand your vision of what's possible. In the end, though, it's all up to you. Take the ideas and run with them. Make them your own. Build your own cash streams that pull in $100 a day or more. Then share your success stories with other readers of this book - your success will inspire someone else, and this thing just grows and grows and grows. To your massive success - and many more $100 days!

Niche marketing is a hype these days, but actually it’s nothing new. It’s been around for years, only we didn’t call it niche marketing. In the early online days, the credo was “do what you love and the money will follow”. That has evaluated into more sophisticated strategies, where you first explore IF there’s a market and whether that market you’re about to enter is profitable. Determining a market niche is one of the most important decisions you will make. If you choose well, chances are great that you can make good money. If you choose poorly, then you will likely struggle. While you can take more time if you like to, most people find a market niche they can explore in as little as one day. And very often, people identify several while going through this process. What is a niche? Let's define a niche first, so we both know what we’re talking about: A niche is just a tiny, (highly) specialized marketplace. A marketplace means that there's demand and supply. Why niche marketing? Many people ask me why niche marketing is so important. Well, there are several reasons: ● Less Competition In general, the more specific your market is, the less competition you will experience. You can brand yourself as the expert as long as you deliver high quality information to your prospects. On the other hand you have to realize that competition isn't bad. A market without competition could be a very bad one, because others have tried already and found it unprofitable. So, a certain amount of competition is good. It proves that there is a large interest in what you have to offer. All you need to do is make your offer unique - and position it correctly. ● Hungry Buyers/Seekers Many people, in fact almost everybody likes to collect and not just only stamps, postcards, miniatures or books. People collect ANYTHING! There's a demand and supply for anything. The greater © 2007 The Internet Marketing Inner Circle Page 12 of 247 20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online 20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online the demand and the lower the supply, the more likely people want to pay for what they collect. ● NO Large Corporations Because niche markets are relatively small and require special knowledge, large corporations will often skip them. That means you don't have to compete with their million-dollars budgets. Big advantage. ● Do What You Like. IF you know something interesting and that also happen to be a profitable or in demand niche market, you can transform your hobby into your work. You do not necessarily have to know the topic yourself, maybe you know a great resource that will work with you. Basically there are two ways to enter a niche: 1. follow your passion (supply) or 2. follow the money (demand). If you follow your passion it will be easy to develop content. Hey, you're the 'expert' and you do what you love. As long as you have a great interest and know more than "most" of your prospects, you'll be able to succeed. But you still have to find out if your passion is profitable! In other words: does your market spend money? And if you follow the money, financially you're already on the right track, but it will be more difficult for you to develop content. Oh yes, you can hire ghostwriters. But they aren’t experts either, are they? In order to follow the money, you have to develop some ..... eh passion and specialized expertise for the niche otherwise you can't fill your site properly with high-value content. So, either way you have to do something extra. Sidenote: Here's where lots of people go wrong. They follow their passion and develop a product first and then go out to find the customers. That's exactly the wrong way to do this. You should look for a hungry market first and then, if all indicators are positive, develop a product. Now, knowing all this, let's redefine a niche. Let's define a ..... profitable niche! A profitable niche is a (highly) specialized marketplace with few competitors, high demand and money to pay for that demand. © 2007 The Internet Marketing Inner Circle Page 13 of 247 20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online 20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online That's what you have to find out. Actually you have to find out four things: ● do you like the niche topic, do you know about it, or do you have a great resource for it, or can you develop a passion for it? ● is there a market for your niche (demand)? ● if yes, does it have a lot of competition (supply)? ● is that market willing to pay money for information, solutions or products (profitable)? If you find a niche with lots of competitors, it’s going to be very difficult to make profits from that market. On the other hand, if you find out that demand is too low, then maybe the niche is too small. Finally, if you think the niche is great, but there’s nobody there who wants to pay for products, then you’re niche isn’t profitable. That's what happened to pets.com. You want to avoid these situations at all cost. So, what's selling, what's hot? Let’s ... Find Your Niche Before we dive into this, be aware that the whole process described below is an estimate, not exact science. It's just to give you an idea about the possibilities in your niche market. Step 1 The first step is a global approach. It all starts with picking an area you are passionate about or you can develop a passion for. If you already have a passion or expertise, search for it in the places below. If you don't have one, browse the places below until you find one that interests you. First, visit your local shopping malls, libraries, and bookstores. See what people buy there and what the trends are. Always look for bestsellers lists. Buy some well-known magazines. These places are markets and you can find a niche there. Keep your eyes open and watch for trends. You can do the same online. To get general ideas, you can visit: Google Zeitgeist - http://www.google.com/trends/hottrends © 2007 The Internet Marketing Inner Circle Page 14 of 247 20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online 20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online Lycos Top 50 - http://50.lycos.com Yahoo! Buzz - http://buzz.yahoo.com eBay Pulse - http://pulse.ebay.com eBay is one of the best marketplaces online! Go to their home page and select a category that you may be interested in, using the topics you’ve gathered from looking at the previous sites. Drill down in there until you find a niche market. Then look for profitable sub-niches by then selecting a sub-category. The best chance for success is if you are as specific as possible with your niche selection. Take a note of how many people bid on items there and you may have discovered a profitable niche market. Also, check the largest stores as well to see what they’re selling. There has to be a reason they are the largest stores. They must be doing something right. eBay also puts out a PDF report of their hottest categories each month, available at http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/hotitems.pdf. Just recently I found a very interesting topic, but I didn't do a thing with it. Know why? Cause I don't know squat about millinery! You should also try Amazon - http://www.amazon.com. Look at their bestsellers lists. Amazon is a great place to see what currently exists for any given sub- niche. Chances are, the more books there are written on the subject, the more that market spends on those topics. For example: First specify “Books” to search. Then enter your niche. If there's thousands of books, your niche is not targeted enough. It is too “mainstream.” You should further narrow your search. Hang out on Message Boards and in Newsgroups! Just enter your topic of interest in the Google searchbox and add +”message board” (include the quotes) or +newsgroups. See what questions are asked and which topics are popular. Find out what problems need to be solved. Is there anything you like very much, something you know a lot about or someone else who knows a lot about a topic that you can ask for help? You see, if you're going online you have to provide tons of content! It's much easier to write about something you know about or like to do very much than on a topic you hate or don't know a thing about. © 2007 The Internet Marketing Inner Circle Page 15 of 247
