Why Will Only 3% Succeed?

12. May, 2010

Nailed it.
Charles with the struggles that I have had just in the last week it is making me rethink how I am doing tasks and what tasks I am doing.
Thank you for confirming again for me what I need to do, OUTSOURCE.

Thanks for that wop upside my head I needed that.I have been wollowing in the 90% part,spending on good products that will help me,but they are hanging out in cyber space waiting for attention,because the next make money product comes along and I know that I will make money with this one or that one,frozen up because I dont know the teche stuf yet.So I have about a hundered decisions to make and no plan.Now there are excellent programes to take advantage of like John Reese.I have stopped buying and started to make plans with what I have keeping in mind I can outsource what I need.

Maybe you don’t realize that these people did start by doing all the things they are now outsourcing. If they didn’t know how to do the task they want to outsource, how would they know they were done correctly.

Granted outsourcing is the way to leverage yourself and your income, but knowing how to direct the tasks is important.

Sure… the focus is on your list of 3% of people making boats of money staying on topic to make money… however, newbies, and those with little resources, and the 90% of us lowly technicians have little choice but to do the technical work in following the planned goals for finding leads and converting them into customers.

And then optimizing or getting more out of them and successfully making them repeat buyers… well it all still needs technical framework… the tools have to be in place.

Yes the business model determines the lead generation ideas… to get those leads one needs to advertise or promote.

Promotion is not free, it is either low cost work like posting with links, or paying for ads or others to post, and making the pages and emails etc. that is, support systems for those ads that are bringing people to your plan, this is technical too.

And further still this is the technical 90% work needing done. Got to have a place to advertise, a place have people get into your database… a place to store your database of leads. A place to put up pages to capture the leads…

If one has the resources to stay on the 3% level this assumes their cash or resources are already established and they know the technical work first hand or they can afford to pay others such as consultants or at best they can leverage or trade skills to have the technical work done.

However, this kind of work in itself is technical… constanly contacting people to do the setting up of the business tools needed to do the 3 most important goals, no?

It’s easy to say… here stay on these topics… find em, optimize em, and get em back…. so easy to say. But a person with this focus… still has to do the work as described, plus stay on top of changes…

So… here is a comment that might help you accomplish the first task… we’ll wait and see what your plan for helping the 90% join the 10% and 7% and 3% ranks.

So, can the lone technicians rise above the 90%? Stay tuned… right? LOL

Hey Charles…thanks for the nice video. I’ll be honest and say I’m in the process of cleaning up my inbox and unsubscribing to a bunch of email lists…I get bombarded everyday with too many emails from gurus hawking the next big thing…I almost unsubscribed from your list, but when I opened the email I was intrigued…

Your video was not the worst…and your “chicken scratch” is very legible, lol…it was very good in that it was simple, straightforward and gave me A LOT to think about…I’m in the 90%…I’ve known it for a while and yet I keep spinning my wheels…I’m determined though to make money online and I finally have some things in place to help me focus and start moving forward…even if it is slow.

One question though…I like the idea of “getting others to do a task”, but that takes money…I ain’t got none…so I have to do things myself. How does someone with no money focus on the three questions?

Thanks for your insight and I look forward to the next video.

P.S. I know you need to make money and I don’t fault you for that. I know your video series will end up hawking some kind of product or service…FYI, I’m broke and can’t afford anything else. I appreciate the free info though and hope it does lead to a nice payday for you.

I know you are right, but how much do you have to invest in Time and Money on average to get to that 7% or 3% ?
I know some of those guys spent some time and some money to get where they are at. Knowledge builds on Knowledge so that someone else can avoid the mistakes of those that came before them. New technology also helps.
You are on the right track for sure.
Thanks

Charles,

Thanks for the vid – good stuff. While I would definitely consider myself to be in the 90%, more recently my ‘mindset’ has been catching glimpses of the 7%.

I don’t know if much of my thinking has been on par with the 3%, but I’m starting to think of things with more of a planned approach. Reading some good books helps with this transition.

As with any other business, it does take startup capital. I’m currently refraining from any ‘next big things’ purchases and beginning to save that cash for my own business building needs. You can start with very little, yes, but most folks are short-changing themselves if they think that it’s next to free.

In a traditional business model, someone would, for example, buy a franchise – big investment, and also a lot of ‘outsourcing’ (hiring people to run the place, based on the business plan). The benefit of internet marketing is that anyone can do this same thing on a much smaller scale, but it still takes an investment.

I think that the outsourcing can be done from the get-go, you just have to determine how much capital you need to get rolling. The technological know-how is not a determining factor.

For me, it’s actually been a deterrent because I am extremely technological and I have the know how to do it all – not the most efficient approach.

You only affirmed my belief. I have trying to figure out and tried many tactics to draw more and better customers, but so far nada.
What’s the answer?

Hi Charles!

You were so simple and deep in your explanation. I’ve never thought about theses things. You know, I’m in this 90% of this people.
Now, I have a lot of softwares and I still don’t know what product I should sell. I’ve been thinking in so many things that I don’t know even where I can start.
I’ve made some websites but I got stuck to get traffic to my websites. Some are on the first and second page of google, but only few people come into my websites.
I’m struggling to make some money and actually I made some money with google adsense, but only few dollars.
I’m looking forward to your next video.
I hope there’s a light coming in the end of the tunnel.

Thanks for your video.
It was very helpful.

Simple as this. You will get screwed 80% of the time in outsourcing. Even if you are a “guru” and paying thousands.

This is the internet, and if you don’t spend the time to learn the skills you need your dead in the water. You will be at the MERCY of the freelancers.

And for God sakes, don’t be cheap as the banners and emails say “find workers for $2 an hour” if you do outsource. You will get what you paid for down the road.

Do we really need an expensive ebook that will do nothing more than you would have found at oDesk and 99designs? Get bent

Build the easy stuff yourself and hit codewi.se for problems.

Hi Charles

I guess the challenge for those of us in the 7% is to let go, I have just started outsourcing successfully after weeks of working with the wrong people

I have to tell you its so much easier, I realise now I wasted years trying to learn things instead of achieving things

You know the worse thing is 97% of the people who watch this will remain technicians, when they really need to take on board what you are saying

A great resource

Great stuff Charles, but when you are in the 90% trying to break into the 7% and on a shoe string (no capital or credit) you have to spend the time to learn how to do the steps needed to start making an income so you can spend money to make money. Keep up the good work. Look forward to the next video.

Interesting discussion,. <the problem is that you need some money to outsource and have the time for the strateigic thinking.

The first step would be to get at least some money that you can invest.

I see that, I now understand. So what do I do to go up the ladder.

Upset!

I hate the 3%. You don’t have to pay any marketer a dime. Go on to YouTube and there are videos to show you how to do ANY kind of Marketing for any Internet business.

I like you Charles but really….. I HATE the 3%!

They are lazy. They take advantage of the people who do the REAL work and those bastards take the GLORY and the MONEY!

Not from this guy!

No marketer should be allowed to outsource anything unless it is contractually drawn up where the real workers get a decent slice of the pie.

What do the 3% really do? Hire people to do their work? I don’t find any real honor or glory in that or success. I find it to be manipulative laziness.

My time is just as valuable to me and if they want work done that surreptitiously there are going to use to profit far more than me. I find that quite dirty.

Nothing should be done without contractual escrow. Nothing gets deposited into any one bank account. It should be computed and divided proportionately by electronic deposit and screw these bastards who think otherwise.

I understand having managerial skills and being able to lead people but honestly how much does any one person deserve for this surely it can’t be EVERYTHING!

They didn’t do it all. They had help and it should be rewarded accordingly and not so one sided or funneled.

So OUTSOURCING is a real load of crap. But it is one of the many things that is wrong with this world and how things are done. Club the 3% in the head and take what is rightfully yours.

Upset!

I was a little out of line on the last post. I apologize to any one I offended.
Lot of frustration. If I was right about anything how it was presented wasn’t exactly professional. It was the wrong way to vent. Once again please accept my regret at any offences.

Hi Charles!!

I have been trying to get into IM for about a year but I alwys
knew I did not want to learn all the stuff the GURUS want you to learn. Thanks for confirming this and I look forward for your
suggested way to go.

Thanks

I can’t disagree with your video. I would say many of the 90% don’t have a business plan or plan of action. They are just trying different techniques. Once you know what you want to do, the rest follows. If you really want something you will find a way to get it. I have heard the stories of many successful marketer and that they have a hunger to make money. I think that is key.

If you don’t know how to do something that will help your business, find someone who does. Don’t give up. The reason the 3% are different form the 90% is because they want to make money much more than us in the 90%. They will do whatever it takes to get there. That hunger needs to turn to ACTION. Otherwise, it is useless.

I enjoy your videos,
Thanks!

Hi Mike

You just hit the nail on the head. Everyday I wake up I create a list that plugs into a master plan.

The key is to just work the plan.
