Hey Guys,
I’ve hoped to have expert money makers check out my money-making ideas for a long time. My list has intimidated a number of people, though I can’t imagine it will intimidate all-out geniuses like the two of you…and like the friendly folks at ListControl who may venture to visit this post.
First off…if you are here at my lifestyle-shaping, money-shift bringing, cash-flow-igniting little post…THANK YOU.
Here is my run down and my request of you.
Below you will see a good number of my money-making ideas. Some are totally off the wall, others are serious. Please flip through as many of them as you can. Check out the super-short videos, if you can, and then, do this:
SMELL THE MONEY FOR ME.
Any sincere-hearted comments on where the greatest return on cash is in the shortest period of time would be GREATLY appreciated. Another criteria is: long-term passive cash flow.
So, folks, here goes, and big blessings to you for going through this. I mean it. If I can help you in any way to return the favor, just let me know. Make a nice comment as to where you think my best bet is, and then get in touch as to how I can help you.
I’ve hooked up with and helped a few class members already, and it’s clear that I’m a pro at creating membership sites, setting up blogs, etc., it’s just the “smell the money” thing I really could use some help on right now, cuz obviously, I can’t DO all of the following ideas at once. However, I can realize, maybe even all of them, if I bring in more cash.
Here goes, I’ve done my best to structure this…and this post is long…so obviously, skim if you need to…see where you SMELL THE MONEY, and tell me where you think I should focus my efforts for the biggest cash return on my investment of energy and time.
My Core Influence Description of Who I Really Am:
Who I really am:
A wealthy multi-business owner. I buy and create businesses that help the world. I’ve composed ground-breaking historically significant works of music. I’ve invented funny and useful things that millions of people have purchased and benefitted from. I spread the love. People feel good near me, around me, and I feel good about myself and my life. I have a happy family and a loving wife who is kind to me and good for me. I have 4 children and they’re happy and are being raised to be competent, loving, stable, financially secure, contributors to society and the world. I’ve written songs that have been heard by millions, played billions of times, that are enjoyed and folks derive special meaning from my songs because I touch them, I touch their hearts, their minds, and their souls in the most beatiful and divine of ways. I’ve been in a feature film and I really did super-great. I make people laugh heartily and sincerely. They like that, and so do I.
Basic Business Needs (don’t even need to look at this)
This is just my corporation to protect me from losing my shirt if I get sued for some reason…

Musical Projects
Sometimes I wake up angry that I am not pursuing this project. I conducted a choir in Vienna, Austria professionally for 5 years, and now I don’t conduct a choir. I hesitate, cuz I don’t want this to be a project that just starts and fizzles. I want this project to kick ass, but I also don’t want it to be the only thing I do in life. I want it to make a lot of money, and be fun and breezy. It is basically a choir for people who like organic stuff. I also have some family “issues” that make this project difficult for me. It’s been tough to figure out how to release myself from those issues (I have some unsupportive people in my life, and it’s been tough for me to cope).

Late 1990′s album…won an award…I’d seriously love to profit from these songs…the site has not been touched since ’99 or so.
This is basically defunct, but I am a composer and have my Master’s Degree in Music Composition. It just was such a slow market, I made a forum, da da daa, and I couldn’t sell anything. I switched markets, learned how to sell, and am now contemplating “well, should I spend more time marketing to a group of people I identify with more?” But a lot of these folks struggle with money.

Here are the sales pages I have for the eBooks and services I sell at this site. This site pulls in a couple hundred bucks per month. I wanted it to be min 1K per month. When I used adword, it was like I was selling more, but breaking even…so I sought to capture a more “eager to buy” market, anyway, here are the sales pages

Here’s a compilation of some of my more “serious” works. I have not yet figured out how to monetize music composition. Yes, film placement, commercials, but HOW?

Basic Computer Training
Relevant Site: http://www.c-mom.com
This is how I paid for my Master’s Degree in Music Composition. It’s a computer training method that enables people to learn basic computing skills (even advanced skills) very very quickly. When I taught stand-up computer training at placed like Productivity Point International, I presented it to the folks there and they said “if you teach this, we won’t be able to fill our classes.” My dream “was” that the “method” I created (which I outline in a simple graphic on a mousepad…and mousepads unfortunately are basically out of date), would be used by either Apple or Microsoft, that every school kid all around the world would learn my method, and that I would make 50 cents off of each school kid, making me a multi-millionaire. That “was” the plan. Dunno if it’s still possible to pull this one off.
Tinnitus

http://www.tinnitus-release.org
OK, http://www.curetinnitus.org is where I have 40 members. It’s a growing, loving, community…but it just ain’t taking off right now the way I want it to. Takes a whole lot of work. I’m spending a WHOLE LOT of time on it, and well, sheesh, I just feel like I’m pressing up against a glass ceiling with it. I do have great affiliates though that are dormant, because my affiliate software is not quite working yet (but it’ll work soon). I do have the possibility of easily creating syndicated traffic, which is an awesome takeaway from this course. Thanks Frank and Trey. So, my plan right now is to tidy up my process at curetinnitus.org, and to lay a bit “lower” in terms of “pushing it.” I’ll do all the campaigns Frank’s been talking about in LC, but I’ll kinda take it easy on the tinnitus market. Good idea? Or friggin plow through since as grueling as this market has been for me, I really do have a great product, and the business actually is growing…?
The rest of the sites can be what folks are calling a “domain cloud” for listbuilding, seeing if other peoples’ products are really selling or not, etc.

For a while, I made money translating. I came up with the concept of guaranteeing language level and have had the concept of creating a little translation quality widget that people could put on their websites so people can put in what they think of the quality of the translation. This was the kind of business that started making me money, but then I wound up spending 12 hrs per day on it and could not increase my margins to the point where I could outsource effectively. So basically, I dropped it, because being a “translator” is not my life.
This is just a joke word I made up…ha ha…not sure if it’s funny anymore…kind of don’t feel like it is.

This was my first attempt at a membership website. It seemed to fly, but I got $200-800 of CC fraud attempts PER DAY when I launched the site. It turned out to be too tough for me to manage, so I put the content out at http://www.sustainable-bliss.com for free…I’ve got some cool interviews there…I’d love to revive this concept…but it’s gotta pay off. Can’t be a time sink.

Just bought this domain today. It’s basically an affiliate front for copywriting classes and possibly IM. What do you think?
Yay, I made up a word
UCEME stands for Unsolicited Commercial Email me. It is simultaneously a solution for spam and a marketer’s dream. This mutha needs programming and financing to become real.

Organized a yoga conference and made some money. Stressful. Mantak Chia is a real money-sucking fella. Wow. Powerful dude. Made it out with cash left in my pocket. Whew! Good info, draining process.

I’m becoming a bit of a guru in this area. Been asked to do interviews and I get a lot of questions about this powerful, strange, and effective healing modality.
Spent 6 hrs creating this site. It’s getting decent traffic and I have not touched it. No one has bought any of the affilate products I’m advertising though. Is this an easy tweak to a list and some bucks?
Affiilate stuff that is actually working http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8PEksEfVX8
As few views as that vid has gotten, I really mean my testimonial sincerely, for wordpress blogs, Wishlist Member is an awesome product. I’ve made about $300 or more in referrals with just this video. I could create a membership website website and promote the heck out of wishlist member, because I really believe in the product and the team. Also, I could offer a really great bonus package, since I run curetinnitus.org with Wishlist Member, and I could give people an inside view of how I make the site work. And my site really does work. Also, I do video interviews and all that jazz and have figured out how to do it on a super-low budget. So, if people buy through my link, I could give them an awesome bonus pack. I’d just need to set up the blog and start gathering leads. Also, these would be leads who are willing to spend money on stuff…so this could be a real winner for me…what do you think? Cool people to hang out with too, cuz people who create member sites usually have some kind of vision, plan, goal, or something really cool about them…
So with all this, shouldn’t I already be a millionaire or what? I mean, OK, I’m making money online, but it’s between 500 and a grand a month. Basically, a funky littly hobby right now. So, if you can SMELL THE MONEY, tell me where it is. My desire is to get to $5,000 to $10,000 per month profit ASAP, so that’s a 10x increase in profit.
The fundamental question is: where would you concentrate your efforts if you were me to make the most amount of money as fast as possible?
