Dear friend,

At the risk of having you standing at my door starting today with stones to throw at me, hating me and stopping to read this column, I’m going to tell you the whole truth about making money online.

Hopefully, if you keep an open mind, you’ll be wiser and do things differently. I guarantee if you implement what you learn here, you’ll begin to make money online in as little as 30 days. I guarantee that, or I’ll give you 100% of your money back .

You see, I meet tens of people everyday who have been trying to make money online, some have been trying for years, others for months yet there’s been no show. They ask me to tell them what to do to achieve the success they want, and guess what I tell them?

A big NO! Surprising right? I’ll explain.

Anytime I get this question, I tell the person asking that if I told them what to do, they wouldn’t do it. “Come on Ronald,” they say, “I’ll surely do whatever we say.” they argue. Then I go ahead and tell them what to do but before collecting their phone numbers, not to build a list mind you, but to follow up on them. Sure enough by the time I call them in 2-3 week, they’d never have done what I asked them to do.

See? Now here I am spending my own money and time, trying very to be Superman wanting to save the world, yet somehow, very many people just don’t want to be saved!

You know what? I QUIT!

You know, a lot of people just piss me off, not you, just a lot of people. I can’t understand why someone gets great advice yet refuses to use it.

Okay, I hear you. Everybody has the freedom to what they want, right? Now imagine if I just discovered a diamond mine from where I had just collected a full sack of diamonds and I gave you a map showing you the easiest way in and out of the mine, plus how to get your own sack of diamonds, would you go out and get it? You would? Yes?

Congratulations!

But here’s a bet. There are some really dumb people who even when I had given them the map, explained what to do in detail, even going to the extent of driving them to the edge of that diamond mine, they’ll instead of going into the mine and using the map I gave them, would start looking for coals! The worst of this bunch would just stand around doing nothing.

Then they’d come back complaining about how life isn’t unfair, blame me for not going into the mine and bring out the diamonds for them, curse God for not putting the diamonds inside their sitting room, instead of this wretched mine. Hell many of them would even say the map I gave them is the wrong map!

I see attitudes like this everyday and it pisses me off. I thought I could get people like this and beat it into their brains they’re wrong, but you can’t change a man or woman determined that his way is the right and only way. No use trying to force a goat to become a lion. You can try bro, but you won’t succeed. So, I QUIT! No more saving the world.

Now, there are so many reasons that keep people from achieving success online. Today, I’ll discuss them, but before we get started here’s

The Biggest Truth NOBODY BUT ME
Will Tell You About Making Money Online

YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN!

There’s nobody who cares about you. No guru cares about you. Yeah, they’ll fulfill their own part especially the real ones, not the pretenders, will do everything they promise to do for you because you’re a customer, but beyond that, you’re on your own.

If you want success to happen for you, YOU must take responsibility for it. Only you can make succeed. Don’t wait for anybody to do it for you. Don’t expect any guru to spoon-feed you. You MUST DECIDE to learn everything you need to learn to achieve success online. And I tell you it’s plenty.

Now, don’t be scared. It’s really easy. All it takes is a decision to say, ‘starting today, I’ll learn everything there is to learn about this business, so I can achieve success in it’.

A lot of new, aspiring or even knowledgeable internet marketers amuse me. They will blame a secondary school student for failing an exam because they didn’t study hard enough. Yet they fail online because, wait for it, they refused to study hard enough! That’s smells like hypocrisy to me.

Stop Blaming Gurus

It’s not their fault you’re failing online. Yes, I agree, most of them are arrogant and full of themselves, and many more pretender gurus are full of beans but seriously it’s not their fault you’ve not achieved success yet.

And stop asking any guru for that one magic solution to success online. There’s none! The next time someone asks me to tell him/her or the one secret we gurus are hiding and never want to reveal, I’ll ………………(okay just joking).

Seriously, though there’s nothing we’re hiding. So stop asking okay? It’s aggravating! If you don’t believe that, I’ll let you wallow in our ignorance.

I said in an earlier article on this page that

The Cardinal Rule Of Success Online Is…

Do what the gurus do, not what they teach! They may teach you the wrong things but they will only do the right ones for themselves.

Here’s an example: A guru might go out there and learn how blogging works, he may or may not set-up one, hell he may or may not even earn money from blogging but he thoroughly learns how it works.

Then, he’ll do a DVD video teaching how it works, and next takes an advert in Success Digest Extra advertising the DVD. 50,000 SDE readers see his advert and maybe 1,000 are interested, and out of that number, 50 buy the DVD for =N=5,000. Each DVD costs him =N=2,000 to produce and send to the buyer meaning he’s left with =N=3,000.

Now multiply this by 50 buyers, a healthy profit of =N=150,000 and I’m telling you this won’t take him over 3-4 weeks to achieve. Don’t forget, there are still 950 people left who’re still interested in blogging, so he can continue to advertise the DVD each month and make =N=150,000. Over the next the 12 months the guru would have sold 600 DVDs (50 x 12) and made =N= 1,800,000. That’s one million, eight hundred thousand naira.

Now what about the folks who bought the DVD? At least 95% of them will fail. Here’s why:

The first month they get the DVD, they’re pretty excited. They build a blog, put articles and their Adsense codes on it, and then sit back waiting for their accounts to get filled up. Every minute they’re logging into that account, checking and seeing only pennies.

They then realize, ‘Oh my God, I won’t make money without traffic’. So they reluctantly try to generate some traffic and because they don’t want to do the work associated with generating traffic to their websites, by the second month, they quit and are looking for something new. If you’ve ever tried blogging and failed, I can guarantee this is exactly what happened to you. Come on don’t deny it.

By the way, if you thought there was an easy way to riches, forgerrit! Pal, seriously I believe you’re clever enough to know there isn’t one and it doesn’t matter how books you’ve read titled, ‘Easy Way To Riches’. There isn’t one. Period.

Here’s the lesson: The guru is running an information marketing business, one of the easiest and most lucrative businesses to get into.

The sensible thing for you to do is not do what the guru teaches (BLOGGING) but he does (INFORMATION MARKETING).

If blogging appeals to you, by all means go ahead, just be prepared for the work (and it’s a lot of work). I run several blogs myself, but I use them to help me sell my information products faster and easier

All right enough of the home training. Let me show you exactly why people fail online:

Reason Number 1: Chasing The Dream!

A lot of folks can’t get their thinking together to focus on one thing. They’ve bought all kinds of information products on different subjects, yet they’re still not making money. And you know what the reason they’re not making money is because they’re buying all kind of information products!

Are you chasing the dream? You don’t know what I mean? Chasing the dream means you’re buying up the latest internet marketing product promising the latest trick in the book. If this is you STOP! (as if you’d listen) but seriously STOP!

I’m sorry to disappoint you but the latest thing in town won’t make you rich. It will only make you poor. Stop looking for the latest trick, there isn’t one, despite what anyone has told you to the contrary. The current thing everywhere now is Twitter! Twitter? Are you kidding me?

People just love the fact they’re learning new things and forget the reason they got into this business in the first place is to learn a method that will make them money on a steady basis. Now, what’s how can you build a steady stream of income if you’re running around chasing the latest trick. One week you’re blogging, the next you’re flipping websites, the next you’re selling information products, STOP IT!

Concentrate on one thing, and get good at it. Now isn’t it surprising the gurus you know are known for one major thing:

• Dr. Sunny Obazu-Ojeagbase has a knack for teaching people how to start and grow their own business.
• Akin Alabi is known as Nigeria’s best affiliate marketer.
• Hafiz Lecky is the Adsense King
• I, Ronald Nzimora, I’m the Copywriting guru

But of course we have a lot of other income streams. See, despite the fact we do a lot of stuff to make money, we are so very good at one of them. We didn’t start out being great at everything, we started out being great at one! That’s the way wise internet marketers do it.

Now does this mean I don’t buy information products? By all means I do? Almost every week, I buy one!

The difference is I buy like a seller, not like a consumer. A seller buys an information product to get new ideas he can implement immediately. A consumer on the other hand, buys to learn the latest trick so he can feel secure in knowing the latest things.

Stop Thinking Like A Consumer, Think Like A Producer

I’ll stop here today, we’ll continue in a couple of weeks,

Meanwhile, may amazing success be yours.

Ronald Nzimora.
