Well, how about the biz-oops offer upsells for hosting and shit like that to improve on the ROI for them. Or Hell offer the hosting for the people with some gay ready made sites to run on google with. I don't know.
Bizopps WTF
- Thread starter allcelldeals
- Start date
btw, some really good insight here, has me thinking of a few other ways to promote bizops, thanks!
I'm training up my cousin in the hopes that he gets good at this during college and never has to join the rat race like I did and can have a smooth transition into making a living online... weather its AM or something else.
Yeah the wall is definately a tough one, but nothing beats that first day of making more than you used to make in a week

They just saw my paycheques and thought they could easily pull it off but couldn't.
It's like they say with AM, the barrier to get "over the wall" is extremely high (i.e. the learning curve), but once you get over to the other side, it's golden. That's the beauty of this industry, if it were that easy to get into, then everybody would be making money and there would be no real ballers. I agree that this is what the bizopp industry is selling, and that's the American Dream.
Same thing to the t, minues the checks
Once I found WF like a year ago I began sleeping eating breathing drinking AM too, and no matter how much I tried to tell people its just as much work, if not tons more challenging, than a normal job.
Yeah OK, waking up at noon is in the past for me too... did that last year, got complacent with money rolling in, campaign died, wakeup call. Now I work on AM fulltime 9-6, and yes it is lots and lots of work, which everyone who want teh easy monies is simply not cut out for. Let them keep their deadend jobs, maybe thats all they are capable of.
I had a funny convo with a friend in the PPC area this morning... he makes about 30-40K per month on PPC and he works his ass off. I told him why doesnt he hire somebody to do the grunt work for him, so he'd have more time to do other things. He said "I don't trust anybody but me to do this"
He didn't mean he thought he'd get screwed intentionally. He meant that he was relying on gut instincts and insight that just couldnt be taught.
I guess my point is, you can train your friends, family, a hard working employee, but it takes an inner quality that many people don't have to do it right.

I think that is real talk right there.
I just can't explain the way I want/need things done. Not that I don't trust someone else. I just fell like if things get screwed up I have to figure everything out.
I agree it is tougher for bizopps to justify rebill. But they can justify it by providing updates to their products as internet monies changes and shifts so quickly. Maybe some support like a forum and answering of questions. Which I know sounds lame but if a person is getting some answers it is les likely they will chargeback if they feel they are getting some value.
you won't believe how many designers i've been through in the last year, but it just always turns out the same i'm always much happier with my own work than that of other even (so-called) professionals. and as for getting friends to work for you .. oh my god just don't ever ever go there..
Yeah, and I've always thought that if you take on an employee and show him how to make you $xx,xxx/month, he's not going to stay your employee for very long.
Might be worth employing people to specialize in various parts of a campaign. But I think you need to take on the responsibility of being the one to pull it all together - or at least have somebody who's incredibly loyal with low ambitions of their own to do the job for you.
If you are trying to get into the heads of people who sign up for these BizOpps you have it right in this post

That's why you need to give decent incentives and try to create intellectual property developping software for example.
