Today's Adventure in the Biz Opp Jungle:
'In which Charlie finds himself spiralling into hysterical madness... worries about his biz opp going down the pan... and throws
everything into a book.'
Hi,
Ha ha ha ha!
I am laughing hysterically as I write this from my new study. Yes, I have a big room in which to write, investigate biz opps and sing along to my iTunes.
But no internet. Nothing. Nada.
Ha ha ha ha ha!
What did I expect? A MIRACLE?
Apparently, there's some kind of 'glitch' that requires an engineer to come round. Which means I'm still cut off from the cyber world.
I didn't realise how much my entire working life relies upon the internet.
I can't read and reply to your emails... I can't scour the internet for information about e latest opps... I can't instantly query my contacts for information and gossip... I can't receive all my various e-letters and web- links...
So if you've sent me anything in the last week, I will get round to it eventually, but please bear with me.
What's weird for me is the time delay. Usually you get my reviews and rants FRESH, less than an hour after I write them.
Not this week.
For example, you're reading this on a Sunday, but here it is Thursday. That's because I have to give my girlfriend this e- letter on a storage device so she could send it out from her work office tomorrow.
It's like I've travelled 15 years back in time.
Yes, I can use the internet café, but I really need to internet all day, switching between word processing, various email accounts and have and the internet, usually with 3 or 4 screens up at the time.
I also have to be at home, too, unpacking and setting up the home and office.
So HUGE apologies. I will get normal service resumed as soon as possible.
There's another thing that worries me
There's so much competition for your time and interest, I'm worried that if I don't keep up to date, you could scarper.
As you'll notice, my website has slowed down. I was getting new stuff up there almost every day, and was even going to start a daily blog!
Now there's fluff and spider webs in the corners of the website. Someone's dumped a urine-stained mattress outside my review section. It's terrible.
So check out my website this week, as Sarah has promised to upload some of the bits and pieces I've put on disc.
And never fear, you can expect some more reviews soon. I've got hold of a great little stock market manual that I'm reading now, plus a bizarre sports betting opportunity that's so ridiculous it might just work.
Also, remember to look into those two latest opps, which I briefly reviewed for you on Wednesday. Go here for dirty postcards
And go here for cars at up to 20% discount:
Hey and despite all my moaning, there is a plus side to this technical glitch.
The e-book
A lack of internet has meant a lack of distraction. So I've nearly finished my debut e-book!
In my e-book I'll show you the secrets of the simple business model I use for the Biz Opp Jungle...
- Show you how to apply it to a 'niche' subject - anything from gardening, local entertainment and book reviews... to eBay, collectables, and chess...
- Show you how to write e-letters without any writing skills... how to send them out from a free website that you don't have to build yourself...
- Create a list of readers from a starting base of ZERO
- Sell other people's products, swap with other people's websites, and boost sales for all your current biz opps
- And more stuff.
All you need is an internet connection, a personality, and buckets of enthusiasm.
And you DON'T need to be a writer.
I reckon the free e-letter model is just about the best home publishing format in the world right now.
Most of the home biz opp gurus use it, plus financial tipsters (Daily Reckoning), political activists (Schnews) and even gossip writers (Pop Bitch).
But even with a list of a few hundred people and the right kind of topic, this business can make money on smaller scale.
It's easy. All you do is pick a specialised area of interest, like: fishing, gardening, chess, computers, travel, health, banking, collectables, memorabilia, local community events, books, business opportunity, cars.
Anything that takes your fancy.
Then you write short emails containing free information for people interested in these subjects. Then you sell, promote or recommend products and services they'll be interested in.
You don't even have to create your own products. People will be dying for you to sell their stuff for them. They'll give you everything you need.
The thing that stops most people from going into the e-letter business is a fear that they can't write.
But if you can write an email to your colleague at work... or a letter to a family member... or invite a bunch of friends to a party... then you can do this.
Besides, if you get an e-letter about gardening, would you prefer it to sound like it came from a poetical genius?
Or would you feel more confident if it sounds like it came from a real gardener?
I know what I'd choose.
One thing you WILL need
Saying all that, you will need some inner drive, patience, and about an hour every day to spare - or an empty weekend each week.
Oh... and the ability to avoid technical broadband glitches when you move home!
Sigh.
Anyway, more of this in the near future.
Cheers,
Charlie Wright
