That's why the internet is so perfect for me. I was amazed to discover I can actually *sell* stuff here!! It's completely different when you aren't face-to-face or ear-to-ear with your prospect -- at least it is for me.
I'm linking to my article on where to start "if you don't know html from garlic bread." You can ignore the sales pitches for Corey Rudl's course -- the information in the article is valuable with or without 'em (that isn't to say his course isn't the best and most comprehensive on the planet, it definitely is, but I'm not trying to sell it to you) (yet).
I jumped right in without a clue what I was doing. I bombed royally, then I learned how, dumped everything and started fresh, and I was making money almost immediately. (Don't be misled by "making money." I have yet to make a living wage on the internet; I'm finally in a position where I can devote time to doing just that -- but I have made decent money steadily since 1998, between $350 and $2500 a month roughly.)
Bear in mind I had NO idea for products when I started over, but for me, the ideas started flowing once I was on the right track. In fact, my biggest problem is controlling the flow of ideas. I'm finally moving forward, but there is *so* much to learn on the net, and *so* much you can do, that it's hard (for me) to narrow it down and stay on track.
You said "research and archival" -- and as you investigate business on the net, you'll find that information products are huge sellers. It sounds like that's right up your alley.
You'll probably get lots of good answers. You just sounded so much like me that I had to chime in.
Luv,
MaaMaw

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
