In this article we will try to discuss the scope of what you are currently doing. I don’t really know what you are doing right now but this “you” here represents those who start up the easiest yet lucrative business model with little start-up capital in the virtual world – make money online.
The phrase alone summons up few big words like the haunting phrases internet marketing and search engine optimization a.k.a SEO, link building and traffic, social media and network, etc, etc.
According to the article Internet Marketing and Search Engine Optimization Moneyess way we have crossed out link building and, logically, things related to it. It is one of the endeavors we put our effort in so you’re not led astray. We talked about that too in What Is In The Name Of Young Millionaires.
Million Dollars Money
System Building Vs Content Building
You know now in order to make money online the moneyess way, you got to provide valuable content that worth one million in order to make one million dollars online. But the question is: Are you worth only one million dollars?
I have always had memory problems so I don’t remember which great men once gave me a call and past this inspiring idea that changed my mindset. They are either Donald Trump or Robert Kiyosaki, I’m pretty sure you know these names because you are reading this article. I think it was Donald who told me this,” It is equally hard to think how to earn 1 billion, 100 millions or 1 million dollars, so why not think how to earn 1 billion?”
Of course you are not saying something illogical, at least at the moment, whereby you want to earn 1 trillion. Hello, my friend Bill and Warren worth only 60+ billions. Logically, personal worth plateau should be 1 billion, more than that would be categorized into genius, controlling trillions of dollars is fiction as in the story of Rockefeller family.
You are dumbfounded by the glittering dollar sign attached to the number internet marketing gurus show you. $100,000 blogging system, $30,000 per month self-employed job, and so on and so forth.
So you run a series of internet marketing and SEO techniques to draw search traffic to your site or from social media. You are seeing the amount of money goes up and way up day after day in your adsense report or other advertising campaign.
It’s great if you are sharing your passion with the community as in Cici sharing her passion for t-shirts to other t-shirt lovers. She is doing what she loves and getting money the moneyess way.
But if you are a big thinker, bold thinker, then start triggering the creativity that sunk deep in your mindset after years of spoon-feeding. The latest example of big thinker is the NBA’s brightest executive mind, Joe Dumars, who has the ingenious plan to bring in Lebron James after the Iverson trade to put Piston franchise to the next level.
That’s a little side talk which links to our topic. Now, how to think big in virtual world? You can still carry on building your web properties which generate passive income like I do, but if you worth not only one million dollars, then read on.
Light up your creativity
Let’s start dissecting the concept of system building versus content building. The adsense millionaire, the founder of Plenty of Fish, is earning a passive income of $10,000 per day. The amount is more or less the figure shown here. What he did? A dating site with only one adsense unit per page. In other words, he builds a system which is complicated at the back-end but clean and clear presentation and functionality for the front users.
Mark Zuckerberg, the well-known youngest billionaire in the world, the founder of Facebook. Ask the people around you like in playing the game in The Magic Nike Swoosh Logo And Just Do It, replace Nike with Facebook to find out the level of fame between the name Facebook and Mike (your name here.) What he did? A social network that connects everyone in the globe.
Ask Steve Chen, the co-founder of Youtube, what he did to make him worth around 1 billion dollar. The most famous video-sharing site, Youtube.
They did not build valuable content so they are not millionaires. But they did build valuable systems which provide greater value to more people so they are multi-millionaires and billionaires.
The point here is not leading you into thinking not to build content sites that provides value, or not to do professional blogging site or kind of, it is that if you are born a multi-millionaire, do not set your target to make 1 million dollars online. You can set this 1 million dollars as stepping stone or benchmark but not the ultimate goal.
Do not be overwhelmed by Spiderman syndrome. What is that? You still remember the famous advertising tag line if you are a fan of Spiderman like me.
“With great power comes great responsibility. This is my gift, my curse. Who am I? I am Spiderman.”
Do not afraid of great responsibility. Just go ahead and do what you think is right to get what you want in life. But, be sure to think critically, and think creatively. Let’s discuss the examples mentioned above.
There are virtually thousands of dating/video-sharing/social network sites floating around the web today. What make them really different are few things.
- Value
- Creativity
- Presentation
- Functionality
Let’s have a quick talk about these things. If these sites do not have the value you want why the heck did you log in Facebook this morning the moment you rose up from your lovely bed? If Mark and his team never updated Facebook endless stream of creative application why are you going to log in your account tomorrow morning? If the presentation of Youtube not lean, clear and user-friendly why are you sticking to Youtube not other video-sharing sites? Do not tell me you can’t find a date in Plenty of Fish but you boast about your rendezvous in front of your friends in the night club.
Last But Not Least..
Going for internet marketing and search engine optimization is a right way to earn a million dollars easily. But, pick an option below today before stepping out strong.
a) I want my content building hard works to serve the people from search engines.
b) I want people to key in “www.m-y-s-y-s-t-e-m-b-u-i-l-d-i-n-g.com” in the browser everyday.
Start thinking your ultimate goal today, and start getting things done, and speed things up. We will cover the famous Getting Things Done a.k.a GTD by David Allen as well as Speed Things Up a.k.a STU by Brandson Koh sooner than later.
Young millionaires play with mind game. They are those species who simply do not follow people's back. They know clearly spoon-feeding is the no.1 killer to creativity. To generate wealth creatively, think critically. Play the game with no preset rules. So, do not believe in whatever I am going to tell you here.
