For about the 10th day in a row I have gotten email about “Can you really get rich overnight?!?!”

Hopefully it makes sense =P

    LOL I love the ending.

    “What do you think about this get rich ebook? Can I make money overnight?…Good luck with that” :)

    I would think that this is one of the most annoying parts of success, people constantly asking your opinion when all of the answers are out there already. I mean it doesn’t take a genius to figure this stuff out - ever heard of a google search? And if you want to know if an ebook works, buy it and try it out. When you fail, you’ll learn. Take a risk for heaven’s sake! You’ll never make money by trying to dogpile on someone else’s success, and you obviously annoy the successful person by doing so :)

    Shoe, thanks for the book tip. I know one of your goals for this year was to do more videos and I hope you continue down that path, they are simple but pack a punch.

    @August 1, 2007 8:19 am

    Good video, but no matter how often you say it, those emails will keep coming ;).

    Damn man. You seemed PISSED at the end of that clip. Take that frustration out on some weights at the gym!

    @July 30, 2007 10:31 am

    Doesn’t he have the right to be pissed (and I don’t think he sounds that pissed)? I mean, this question has got to be so annoying. Basically they are asking if Shoe can do all the work for them so they can follow the ten step program to success. He said one of the best things about this (I think better than this rant), on his last webmaster radio show. If I remember right, it’s towards the end of the program that he says that it would be great if the get rich fairy tail was true, but it’s not, and you don’t want it to be. Great program.

    Oh yea, I’d be pissed too. I get annoyed when my friends ask me to design a wordpress theme for them and I only get that once a month….I couldn’t handle that crap EVERY DAY.

    Then again, if you want to be in the spotlight, you gotta deal with the stuff that comes with it…

    why is it not enough for people that they actually can make a lot of money working from home… a lot of noobs seem to expect money for nothing, and that’s definitely more than a little weird.

    And I hate the people who pretend that they are making money from nothing!

    Next slew of e-mails: “how can I get ripped overnight!?”

     
    @July 31, 2007 6:09 am

    That is my first thought as well. Especially the “good luck with that” comment at the end. I’m sure it’s frustrating though.

    Shoe,

    I hear you loud and clear man..Cycle’s thats the key word, Most People have no freakin clue, how hard it is to not only identify the hot product, but to have enough balls to ride the beast while its hot and to simultaniously keep the vision that it will end.

    As the need to move too the next oppertunity..ever becomming visably clearer from the decreased revenue streams..Most fail people will fail initially, as they have no endurance for the drastic change’s & new sector learning curves to stay ahead..Hence usually only the strong of us survive. Since 1999 we have endured the commings and goings of over 20 hot new products and verticals and its not getting easier to forcast or sustain product conversion life. I have about 100 reasons why.

    Cheer up! That feed is not like you and it sucked!

    Thats it in a nut shell..

    Great post Jeremy. I do a lot of cycle studies trading stocks. Having the guts to ride it out ain’t easy sometimes, whether it’s a profitable marketing campaign or hot stock. And cutting loser stocks, or failed marketing plans is a shot at the ego, but also must be done.

    I liked what you touched on in a recent radio show. People aren’t ready to get rich overnight. It’s about putting in the time to handle the responsibility when you do make it, so you don’t lose it.

    Getting rich overnight isn’t going to make anyone happy over the long term. It’s the struggle… and accomplishing… and holding on… that’s the best part.

    and that takes work.

    You nailed it on your show the other day Shoe….If you don’t try, you’ll never succeed. Just go for it, if you fail, learn from it and move on to the next thing.

    oh yeah, the guy buying the ‘get rich e-book’ isn’t going to be getting rich, its the guy writing the e-book that is getting rich.

    @July 30, 2007 12:27 pm

    To the guys (and girls) who keep asking can you become rich overnight….the question is, would you be able to keep it? What are you going to do with that money? Spend it on rubbish and you’ll be back to where you started and will have lost the opportunity. But if you invest it into learning how to make more of it (via ebooks or otherwise) and if you end up going back to zero, at least you’ll know how to get back up…rather than waiting for your next lucky break…which most likely won’t happen.

    You can make money virtually doing anything. It’s the “doing” people have a hard time with.

    I bet a lot of times the real question is: Can I make money without doing anything.

    @July 30, 2007 11:40 pm

    Along with doing, it’s sustaining that action until you get the desired result. Most people don’t have the endurance or perseverance to continue even during the hard times.

    Thank you for good advices to this lazy people… In this case i would like to tell my short story.
    I began to work with my website ManhattanService back in 2005 and it took me 1 year of everyday work… Every day i was building links, working with content, promoting my site. In 1 year i spend about $7000 to promote it and only now in 2007 it makes good money for living.
    So, you have to work hard and it will bring you money.

    Good point about the Transformers website. Last month when VoIP provider SunRocket closed their doors, I just happened to be in the right place at the right time after 3 years of writing about VoIP. My site got the greatest amount of traffic and sales last month on SunRockets demise. So where do I parlay the money I’ve earned from last month? A bar/pub/tavern fund of course to celebrate my bday today!

    Damn Bro, you hit the nail on the head again! BooFreakinYa! It really PO’s me when I hear people whine about “getting rich overnight” or “winning the lottery”.

    It’s these same type of people who piss away a 15 million dollar lottery winning in 5 years. You have to get the will power and know-how to live and invest off what you make now. If your broke making 40k a year now, you’ll be broke making 400k.

    Yeah, my small biz is successful because I’m sooo lucky. I woke up one morning after working 6 and 7 days a week at 12-16 hours per day for over a year and I was making money. Yep, an overnight success!

    If somebody wrote an ebook about it then the market is probably saturated or the technique is total BS. If they really knew how to make money they wouldn’t be selling an ebook. Use your own ingenuity to find out what works then take that information to the grave with you… if it is profitable.

    I dont think anyone really gets rich overnight. It just takes a lot of work and persistence. But if you put in the effort, rewards will come - maybe overnight, but probably with many months of work beforehand.

     
    @August 2, 2007 1:45 am

    Great point on the distinction between short term gain and long term business success. There’s a lot of people who do affiliate marketing, have some short term success, but then cannot duplicate it and quit.

    The ability to systematically make money online is really the mark of success.

    That’s how business is. You don’t make money through a business just to have money. You trade that money for another opportunity to create more money. If you spend it, its gone.
