The Best Product To Sell On The Internet Is Your LIFE!

Everyone’s looking for the best product to sell on the internet, the product that will make them an overnight millionaire-or at least a thousandaire. I’m here to tell you the product that can do all that for you–and more–is you life.

No, I’m not advocating you auction off your internal organs on eBay. I’m not suggesting you make a million dollar deal with Bernie Madoff to serve his upcoming life sentence in prison. I am suggesting you look in the mirror, look deep into your own eyes, and ask yourself what you’ve learned in your lifetime.

No matter how young or old you are, there are interests you have pursued. There are problems you have overcome. And there are challenges you have met The knowledge, skills and experience you have acquired in your life are of great value to people both younger and older than you who are meeting these challenges for the first time.

They want to know what happened. They want to know what you did then and what you do now. They want to know how they can do it, too.

This is true on the internet. This is true in the world of book publishing.This is true in the world of newspapers, magazines, television production and radio. This is true  now. This was true back when Ogg was daubing mud on the cave wall to tell how he killed the big mammoth.

It is the one eternal and everlasting truth of business–people will gladly pay for information that helps them pursue their interests, solve their problems and overcome their challenges.

Despite this, I hear every day from people who look everyplace but into the mirror when they look for ways to make money online.

Yesterday I exchanged emails with a subscriber who told me he’s planning to flip domain names. In the course of the conversation he wrote, "For the past quarter century or more I’ve lived without conventional electricity (solar added within the last 6 months); without indoor plumbing; without what most folks call "necessities." Cook and heat with wood. Bathe and drink out of creek, both summer and winter."

The midnight-blue bruise I acquired pounding my head on the desk after reading this is a beauty. So Michael, this is directed at you: 

There has never been a greater interest in living off the grid then there is today. At this very minute, people young and old are all over the internet looking for ways to cut down, to get back to basics, to get back to nature.

People who are trapped in cities want to fantasize about living as you do. People who are fleeing cities want tips and ideas for living as you do.

People who are afraid of being bankrupt by the ever-rising cost of electricity want to know how to use solar power.

In short, Michael, there are not thousands but millions of people who are interested in YOUR LIFE! Stop dicking around  trying to flip domain names. Set up a Wordpress blog. Start reporting all the homey things you do each day– what you make for breakfast, what you use for fuel, how you get into town, how you stay healthy.

Take photos. Put them on your blog.

Put advertising in your blog. There are services and even plug-ins that will do this for you on autopilot. Find camping gear, survival gear, solar power gear that you can advertise with an affiliate link.

As people find your blog–and they’ll find it because of plug-ins that tell the search engines about every post you make–you will make money off the blog advertising.

How much can you make? There is a woman in Iowa who blogs about the challenges of her life as a Christian woman living a very rural life. She earns $5000 a month selling advertising space to businesses that want to get their message in front of her Christian readers.

She didn’t set out to make money on the internt. She was simply a thoughtful and rather lonely rural woman looking for a way to connect with people. All she had to write about was what she does each day, what she thinks about, what challenges her and how she faces those challenges. And it turned out that enough people found her life interesting to make her blog worth $5000 a month to advertisers.

Although I’ve addressed Michael here, and his off-the-grid lifestyle, my advice is the same for everyone. If you want to make money on the internet, look in the mirror. Your LIFE is the most valuable product you have. I’m Bonnie Boots…and that’s what I think!
