You’re probably thinking, here comes another one of those, “Hustle more and stop whining about it” kind of posts. 
I’m sorry to disappoint you, but this ain’t it.
What I’m here to discuss is the hard truth about making money online. You probably never heard anyone say this before, and that’s for a good reason.
Most product sales pages and even YouTube videos promote that it’s as simple as clicking a few buttons.
But the reality is this..
If you’re not willing to accept the fact that it takes time, effort and dedication and even a bit of necessary frustration instead of a magic button solution then you should probably just quit.
Why waste time, money and effort searching for that unicorn that doesn’t exist?
Seriously, you’re better off working a job!
Wait, but when you work in a job, you do give it time, effort and dedication and you’re still at the mercy of a moody boss aren’t you?
So even your so-called “guaranteed income” job suddenly isn’t guaranteed anymore!
It all starts with your mindset, learn from my mistakes
Look, no amount of courses or software will solve your mindset problem, that’s just the reality.
I’m not trying to make you feel down or anything, but I’m writing this because I never had anyone tell me this when I got started..
And what did I end up doing?
Spent thousands of dollars online with nothing to show for it. It wasn’t until I had that reality check when I realized that this whole making money on the internet is a real business and it needs to be treated like one
Here’s the thing..
Just like all businesses do, your online business will take time and effort to thrive. There’s no such thing as push a button and the sky will rain money magically.
Your success will hugely depend on whether you accept this fact or you don’t.
Unfortunately, most people starting out don’t, and they end up quitting out of frustration, debt or both.
Some, like yours truly, accepted it late, not too late that I quit, but late enough to get myself deep in financial debts. When I finally had my breakthrough things have changed around for me. And there’s a great opportunity that it’ll change for you too.
Now, let’s talk about how people behave, shall we?
As someone who launched multiple products and promoted hundreds of them, I found that there are two types of people:
Type A: They don’t care about making money, they just enjoy attending webinars, buying courses and softwares. The mere act of buying more tools (aka toys) gives them that rush of dopamine that makes me happy.
Type B: They are eager to make money online to get out of debt, pay the bills, walk away from a dreadful job, buy a house or a car or even travel the world.
Now if you’re type A, then by all means, go ahead and continue to do what you do to make you happy.
However, being here reading this article, I’m guessing you’re type B. Which means this is for you so read ahead because there’s some life-changing info ahead.
Do you suffer from the “Shiny Object Syndrome”?
You probably heard of the “Shiny Object Syndrome” (aka SOS). Maybe you think you have that in you and wish to have more control over it. This is where you come across a new “opportunity” or “method” and think that you can do a ton of money with it.
The thing is, it might work if you work it and not get distracted with the next one you come across.
But the real question is, will it work for you long term? Is it sustainable? Is it scalable?
Generally speaking, most of these methods you come across will require that you drive traffic to them. So if you’re stuck because traffic generation and conversion is your problem, that new method will probably not be the answer.
So what if the method/software you’re offered is about traffic generation?
There’s a great chance it will have its limitations, trust me, I’ve seen it all. It’s either unscalable, unsustainable or requires a ton of money and/or time, which makes it super risky
OK, enough talking about problems, how about some solutions instead?
Well, the solution is one word….
TRAFFIC!
No matter how fancy your website, funny or offer sounds like, those who own the traffic win in this game. Period end of story.
And among those who own the traffic, the elite who master the art of owning BUYER traffic make the most money.
Why?
Simple… buyers are accustomed to buying and will not be afraid of buying over and over again.
Now with that said, the fastest, cheapest, easiest most sustainable and scalable way of building your buyers list is by launching products.
Before you bounce off the page faster than my son’s bouncy ball, Allow me to put your mind at ease.
You do NOT need to be a well-established marketer to be able to launch a product!
Yes, anyone, and I mean anyone with any background can do it. I wish I had someone tell me this when I got started, that would’ve saved me thousands of dollars and days, weeks and months of frustration.
But it’s not just the traffic part that product launching does for you, it’s the authority that comes with it as well.
How about both? How about for free?
What? Is that even possible?
Absolutely!
You see, when you launch a product, affiliates will drive all the BUYER traffic for you without you paying them a penny upfront.
Try approaching AdWords, Facebook Ads or any solo ad vendor and ask them to send the traffic and only pay them if you convert them into sales. Good luck with that!
When you launch a product, affiliates will happily send traffic for you, and only get paid if you make a sale.
Imagine having an offline business and you hired a team of experts to work for you, helping you grow both your authority and your bank account, but only get paid when you get paid.
Have you ever seen any business (online or offline) model this sexy?
I haven’t! If you have, please let me know.
But wait, it doesn’t even stop there.
Those products you launch? Just because the launch is over, doesn’t mean they’re dead. Far from it, actually. They are evergreen, which means that they will continue to bring you more buyer leads, more authority, more sales on autopilot for years and years to come.
And yes, 100% FREE of charge with no upfront cost!
Is it hard work? Yes, but you only work hard for a little while, then after that it’s pretty much hands-free…
But it doesn’t even stop there.
Those buyer leads you had?
Now you can start monetizing them by promoting other launches as an affiliate, which means making even more money
Want passive income?
Promote products that are on a recurring basis!
Want more money from the same amount of traffic?
Promote high ticket offers!
It’s pretty much money on demand!
And having buyer leads on your list who happen to know, like and trust you is the absolute best of the best type of traffic, ever. It’s exactly why I keep seeing folks in MLM, network marketing and even solo ad vendors launch products all the time
So, are you willing to put in the initial work in exchange for all these superpowers for years to come?
If you answered no, then let me tell you this, please quit, this isn’t for you. Sorry, but not sorry
However, if you answered yes, then congratulations, you’re already on your way to success
Next Steps:
The next step from here is to do yourself a huge favor by watching this free workshop by the man who hosts this article himself. He’s a 7-figure earner and he’s going to teach you how it’s done the right way.

This has the potential of making you thousands of dollars for years and years to come
Just like it did for me and many of John’s students over the years
