Many entrepreneurs go through a long phase in which every “latest, greatest” product seems like must-have. Some of them – gradually – learn to concentrate on their own business model and filter out anything that isn’t important to the direction they want to go.

I’d love to see more about how to weigh new purchases more wisely, so that we don’t get pulled every direction but forward.

Sometimes I still feel like a hound dog that’s been dropped into the middle of a field of rabbits.

That’s the trouble with language – it’s so easy to be misunderstood.

Off the Internet, as in away from the Internet? Nah, you meant FROM the Internet or ON the Internet.

Keep up the good work.

How about on choosing a model for earning on the Internet. That is, there are so many ways to make money, but some of those ways are a better fit for certain personality types, and certain tasks will turn people on or off if done repeatedly.

Thanks.

Byron, my income is entirely off the Internet. Just in niches not related to my newsletter and the how-to-make-money-online niche.

what it means is that the bulk of my income doesn’t come from promoting “how to make money” type products to internet marketers. Instead I focus on a core group of niches that over the years I’ve discovered can bring in regular income. I’m not going to name them here, because I don’t want a bunch of savvy marketers discovering my sites and (almost) duplicating them. But, in general, they’re sites about topics that most online marketers never think about.

I’ve also got successful affiliate sites on medical/health products where I make a sale once but as long as people keep ordering the product I get commissions. Examples: eczema treatments where people who order a product from my link and find it works as long as they keep applying the cream, so they continue ordering it.

I have one question from your last post. “90 percent of my earnings come from non internet marketing niches. It might be an even higher figure.” What exactly does this mean?

Thanks again,

And then I’m wondering about a membership site. If you have a good plan for such a thing it could be a real benefit for your followers, and a substantial boost for your income. I’d join.

Anyway, thank you for providing the 67 fun and informative newsletters. Looking forward to more of them.

Yes… I have your Mini-Site ebook, however, I suspect that it may be somewhat dated by not (or maybe that’s still your approach ?).

Specifically, it would be very helpful to see a mini-site design or template. It doesn’t have to be one of your real promotions… just something to give us a decent clue about what an effective mini-site looks like and what the important elements are.

So please give it a thought. Thanks!

Dave p.s. Your newsletters have always been the best and most useful (along with Andy Williams)

I wasn’t smart enough to include my URL

Well, better late than never…
