1. Find a group of hungry fish
2. Find out what they eat
3. Feed it to them

Thats a hell of a lot of writing Justin – keep up the great work.

Brad try to stop looking so far ahead, it’s giving you tons of extra stuff to think about and affecting your decisions. However, here is the plan…

First 30 days we’ll be using a blog to start getting some attention in the niche and hopefully start getting some subscribers (email, social, and RSS).

Second 30 days we start monetizing that traffic (affiliate links, info product, adsense, and sponsors).

Last 30 days we’ll be growing that revenue and automating processes so that the growth doesn’t overwhelm you.

Justin, I think I’m going to be one of your “slower” students, but I’m determined. I want to be clear on the correct approach here.

Is the goal to be creating and selling our own info product to the hungry fish by building a site with an optin page, sales page, a few content pages, then drive traffic via PPC or other viral/social media methods?

Or will it look like site build around that rich niche attracting hungry fish with lots of keyword-rich content pages, then imbed affiliate links to products (info and physical) in to those content pages and get traffic mainly by SEO?

I guess either way would be good, but what did you have in mind for this challenge? As I write this it’s becoming plain to me that #1 is the faster way to $10K/month. So a “normal” affiliate site is not what were after here, huh?

For example, take weight loss. I should be looking to create and sell an info product that solves a specific problem about weight loss, not creating a site with lots of weight loss product reviews and how-to articles right?

Sorry for the basic question.

Doesn’t surprise me that “they” would revert to less instead of more. I’m sure they’ve even figured out some fancy words to promise more while giving less.

I’ve unsubscribed from the whole industry except for a few awesome people like Rachel Rofe, Lynn Terry, Michelle MacPhearson, Brian McElroy, and some others

Hey Justin,

with other trainers moving their challenges from 30 days to 7 days, moving yours from 30 to 90 days is a ballsy move but a realistic one.
I sincerely hope people will challenge their comfort zones and see this through to then end

Respect,
Tony.

Answer #1 is exactly what I needed. Was going to spend several hours re-creating an old training site…when actually, I can just create ONE training video and offer more to come when the launch happens…

That’s MUCH faster, and I’ll be able to use the data from adwords to provide content that people really want – rather than content I *think* they might want!

Hi Justin,

I woke up this morning with fresh eyes and everything from yesterday clicked!

I’ve now picked a niche, now I’m working on triggers

Looking forward to more juicy content.
