Find a Niche, Not a Job!

Hi

Just wanted drop you a note and say thanks! Thanks for praying
for us and Kerry’s dad. He is home from the hospital and taking
it easy.

Wow! Open heart surgery is not what is used to be. They wheel you
in and you go home in three days! Above all, we thank God for His
kind mercies to us.

I also wanted a chance to rant a little.

I have spoken to many people over the years about economic
development and bringing industry into depressed areas. And quite
frankly, most do not understand the difference between a business
and a job.

A business is where the owner has unlimited potential for profit
and a job is where a person trades his precious time for a
prescribed amount of money. So when people in a community start
talking about wooing a company to bring jobs to their town, they
are really just asking for a way to trade their time (a priceless
commodity) for a flat rate (a common commodity that will meet
short term needs).

But if you really want to transform the economy of a community,
then teach the people in that community to think
entrepreneurally. Teach them to find a niche, find the needs in
that niche and then fulfill that need for a profit.

“So, you are saying teach this to the whole town?”

No, I said teach it to your community. Start with the community
you know best, your niche. Then begin to spread out…your
friends, your church and finally…yes, the whole town!

Of course, this will take a while, but in the mean time offer
free courses to your church and even to your community. Tell them
that reason you do all this is because Jesus Christ is not just
Lord of your heart…He is Lord of your business as well and He
is Lord of their business! He owns it all!

It is really that simple. Again, find a group on the Internet that
has a specific interest (your niche), use a fr.e.e survey program
like surveymonkey.com to ask the people in that group what are the
things they want most (the need for the niche) and then do a
Google search for that product with the words “affiliate program”
after it.

You will find more products to fill that need than you can shake
a stick at! Put up a web page with those products and add some
“buy it” buttons, invite that group to your web site and then
collect their emails so you can tell them more about their niche
every week.

Will they mind? Of course not! They are a part of a group that
has a specific interest and you are telling them about that
interest!

And since you have an interest in learning more about doing
business on the Internet, don’t forget about the Big Seminar on
April 7,8 and 9. There is still time to register. There is no
shame in registering at the last minute, I have done it many
times myself

Use the link below and Kerry and I will treat you to dinner, pay
for a night at the hotel and be your guide through the seminar.

Also thanks for the warm response to Jim Erskine’s mishap. He
sold a ton of his “homeschool fire sale” and still has some left.
For the whole story of the mishap as well as the incredible
homeschool and business deals he has, check out the link below:
