How We Pay For Our Flights Plus: How To Decide If You Have a Good Online Niche

20101103 124936 How We Pay For Our Flights Plus: How To Decide If You Have a Good Online Niche

Want to cut to the chase and not read this entire post? Here’s the short answer to how we pay for our flights. We created a bunch of small websites that throw of cash, using what I learned from Adam Short. Here’s my affiliate link (just enter your name and email and he’ll send you the same training I used).

O.k. , for those that have asked me “how do I know if my website idea is any good?” (i.e. will it make any money), short answer is, you never really know, but here’s MY litmus test.

Note- I will be the first one to admit that there are a million ways to do this. Here’s what works for us.

Here are the 5 thoughts that I run through my cerebellum before I create another website to generate cash for us to travel (we’ve created 30 sites using this method).

1- Does this niche fall into the category of an irrational passion, fear or frustration? If the answer is no, then I don’t enter the market.

2- Using “Google’s Key Word Tool” I type in the “root word” of the potential niche I’m considering. For example, “growing tomatoes”. The keyword must have over 1,000 “Global Monthly Searches”. If it does, I go to the next step. If I doesn’t, I don’t enter the market.

3- I then take the same keyword (in quotations) and enter into a regular Google search to see if it has less than 10,000 competing websites. If it does I go to the next step, which is determining the competition a little deeper. If it doesn’t, I don’t enter the market. Note – if you look under the Google search bar you’ll see the number of competing websites.

4- For this step you’ll need to download “SEO Quake” and install it on your Firefox browser. After you have installed the plug in, type your keyword into a regular Google search (using Firefox). The “SEO Quake” plug in will tell you the page rank of the top 10 websites. Google ranks pages on a 1-10 scale with 10 being the best (and the most competition). To give your new website a competitive chance against the more established sites, you’ll want the average page rank to be a 3 or lower. If it’s not, then I won’t enter the market.

5- Finally, I see if any forums exist around my potential niche and what kind of chatter is on them. I go to bigboard.com to do that. If there are any people discussing the niche you’re considering, it’s probably a good sign.

If all of that was way over your head. Then get Adams training here. He can do a way better job of explaining everything. He seriously has an amazing training!

How To Take A Month Off- The Choice Effect Plus: A Gift

Posted on September 22, 2010 by Rob

I hit a point where I just got tired of running into people who were taking a month off at a time. It seemed the further I got out of the U.S. the more I ran into these people. How were these people doing it? The answer is actually fairly short, (as most truths in life are) they DECIDED to!

I know what you’re thinking, “you don’t know my situation”, or, “I have a wife, kids and more importantly a job that would never let me do it”, I know I had that, too. “Oh yah, and…and…. I have a mortgage, a car payment and private school payment…..”, I know, I had those too…..and…and…. “what about my credit card payment and and….ya know the economy is in the toilet”. I know, I live in the same world as you do.

Any of that sound familiar? We all have (or have had) that kind of crap to deal with in our lives. But, the truth is that will NEVER change, unless we DECIDE to change it. In other words, make a choice, draw a line in the sand, get pissed if you need to, but do something to change it.

Kim and I made a list of every expense and decided what was worth keeping in our life and what wasn’t. We ruthlessly assigned a happiness index to each dollar we were spending. Before long, we came up with an overhead that was over 50% less! There was so much crap. We had no idea where it all came from. Don’t get me wrong. We still live pretty large. We just eliminated the things that weren’t serving us any longer.

Let’s put things in perspective here. We’ve got roughly 80 years to live on this planet. How much joy are you really getting out of paying 100 bucks a week for the gardener or the pool maintenance guy (insert your own low happiness index expense here). If you’re over the top in love with what a particular expense adds to your life- just keep it, but if you’re not, cut it out like a cancer. Your life is just too damn important.

Rome wasn’t built in a day. Start with a goal of taking two weeks off to travel. But, have a plan, (an intention) to be taking 1 month off to travel within in 3-5 years and NOT when you retire. Striking that balance between working hard now so that you can live a bigger life later, is not always so easy- I’ll readily admit that, but it is critical.

Kim and I have been blessed to lead this amazing life of world travel. And, yes, we’ve also been blessed (and probably lucky) to have the income to do it. But, don’t kid yourself, we worked hard to make it happen.

Here’s some real actionable tips that you can use to start your journey to taking a month off.

1. Look at every expense that doesn’t give you a happiness index of 10 or higher and cut it out.

2. Make a list of everything that you want to put in your dream life and decide how much it costs per month. Let’s say it will costs you $30,000 per month to live the fantasy. It probably won’t, but let’s think big. Calculate how much per day that would cost.

3. Create and sell an information product online to pay for your dream life. Using the above example of a dream life that costs $30,000 per month. If you work the math backwards, that means that you would have to sell an average of one $1,000 product per day to achieve that dream life. If you don’t believe you could ever do that, you’re probably right. But if you do believe that, you could do that- you’re probably right as well:). There are people, every single day, achieving that goal and more. I know because I’ve interviewed half of them for Jet Set Money.

This is all within your reach and totally possible. All you have to do is make the choice. Make a decision. The word decision comes from the Latin word incision (which means to cut off from). Cut yourself off from all options and make it happen!

In fact, if you’ve made it this far, it shows me that you’re serious. I want to acknowledge and reward you for that. As my gift, I’m going to let you try the first module of Jet Set Money for a buck. Here’s the link

Helping Bobby Find His Muse So He Can Live a Jet Set Life

Posted on December 21, 2009 by Rob

What If I Don’t Have Anything I’m Super Passionate About?

Great question! I speak a lot about doing what you love and monetizing it. But, what if you just dont’t have anything that you are ‘over the top nuts’ about? Here’s what I would do. There is a great guy named Adam Short who runs a site called Niche Profit Classroom. The reason why I’m recommending this for you is because his system is entirely neutral as far as whether or not you love a particular niche. It’s entirely based on math. The math is very clear and very easy. I interviewed him for Jet Set Money and was super impressed. His program has over 150 videos (there short and amazing). If you didn’t want to sign up for his program you could start by getting on his email list and he’ll send you a bunch of free videos that are of very high quality and content. After I did my interview with him I created a niche site based on his system- My Positano Weddding.

Full Disclosure: This is my affiliate link if you sign up I get paid- Niche Profit Classroom

Here’s Another Option:

John Jonas has a site called Replace Myself. John is a HUGE Four Hour Work Week guy. He uses many of the same principals that Adam uses in the Niche Profit Classroom but has one major twist. His program is solely designed for your outsourcers to run everything. John is the really deal and a totally cool honest, ethical guy. I currently have my two outsourcers taking his training and have had great results and a bunch of free time.

Full Disclosure: This is my affiliate link if you sign up i get paid- Replace Myself

One More Option:

There’s this great guy named Robert Murgatroyd who owns a website called Jet Set Life….that was fun! Lat year I got really frustrated listening to all these people bragging about how much money they were making on line and decided to do something about. I decided to interview the leaders in online business (interviewing is how I personally learn best) and ask thm how they did it. I created a program that has 12 modules and goes right to the core to make this work (with or without having a passion for your niche0.

Full Disclosure: This is my own link if you sign up I will DEFINITELY get paid: Jet Set Money

I received a question last week (by video which I thought was very cool) and decided to answer it here in the blog. Bobby is struggling with a lot of the same issues that many people are such as how do I find that thing that’s going to make me money to live the life I want? I don’t have a bunch of time to go into great detail in this blog, because I’m literally on the way out the door to leave for Italy for Xmas and New Year (here’s where we’re going). But, I did want to answer a few points.

I’m a Kid From Queens NOT a Trust Fund Baby- PLUS a FREE Bonus Interview From Our New Jet Set Money Program

Posted on October 21, 2009 by Rob

Screen shot 2009 10 14 at 1.08.22 PM1 Im a Kid From Queens NOT a Trust Fund Baby PLUS a FREE Bonus Interview From Our New Jet Set Money Program

Front of The Line List

To answer a few questions…..

We decided to launch Jet Set Money on Nov. 3 and here’s how you can get special pricing before everyone else does (and a free interview from the new Jet Set Money)…..

Click Here To Get Added to “The Front of Line List” For Special Pricing (PLUS get a FREE Bonus Interview)

I’m Just a Kid From Queens

To answer a few questions about us. We are NOT trust fund babies. I’m a kid from Queens New York. I’m from a very blue collar background. My dad was a truck driver (retired now) and my mom worked random part time jobs while me and my 2 brothers went to school. Kim’s parents were high school teachers (retired now). So, we are not rich kids.

We are just two people that love to travel and wanted to figure out a way to pay for it. We figured out how to make “brick and mortar” money with various businesses, but what good was it when I was a slave to it and couldn’t break free to travel. Kim and I worked super hard over the past two years to figure out how to make what we call – Jet Set Money. Money that is created from an online business so we could do what we love to do – travel!

We have just put the finishing touches on “Jet Set Money” and if we do say so ourselves, it is AMAZING! We’re going to reveal what’s in it next week, but for today I just wanted to address some of the questions that people have been asking. So, in no particular order here are the basic questions (and our answers to them) that we’ve been getting asked about Jet Set Money.

Again, if you think you even might be interested go to the link below:

Click Here For “Front of Line List” For Special Pricing (PLUS get FREE Bonus Interview )

Q&A About The New Jet Set Money

1. I Don’t Want To Loose My Current Income For An Uncertain Income – Will I Have To?

No.

There is NO reason for you to loose the income you have worked so hard to create. Once you learn how to get your online business up and running, it will be generating income for you while you sleep – so you’ll have plenty of time to work. However, we will show you how to transition from 9-5 to living a Jet Set Life, if that’s what you’re ultimately after. If that’s not what you want then just use our course to learn how to make a great monthly income to take more trips!

2. I Have No Idea What My Niche Is – Will Jet Set Money Help Me Find My Niche?

Yes.

The most common block in beginning an online business is selecting your niche. We have taken care of that for you in several different ways. First, is our Niche Finding Bible that you’ll receive immediately when you join Jet Set Money, we will walk you through our proven step by step method of niche selection. Also, you’ll hear dozens of interviews with people on how they choose their niche and you’ll get very concrete ways that you can do the same and duplicate their amazing results. Finally, if all else fails we have a secret weapon on how to choose “A Niche Only Business” based on what’s hot in the current market. Either way you’re covered and you WILL have a niche when Jet Set Money is done with you.

3. I Have Kids And A Spouse And Don’t Have Much Extra Time – How Much Time Will This Take?

We designed Jet Set Money to easily work around your busy life. We recommend that you take one lesson each week over 6 months. You could easily listen to each lesson in the car on your commute to work or on your iPod while you’re working out. Take the course at whatever pace work best for you!

4. I Don’t Know A Thing About Marketing on the Internet - Will I Be Able To Easily Learn This New Skill Set?

Yes.

We actually don’t consider ourselves that internet savvy either. We will take you by the hand and walk you through every step and give you clear instructions with each lesson plan. Honestly, anyone can do this stuff. It’s just a matter of learning the principals and being willing to put them into action.

5. Why is Jet Set Money SO Focused on Interviews?

We are BIG believers in modeling. If someone produces a result – say generating $30,000 a month selling one e-book – I know I can produce the same result if I understand their formula. We are extracting the business formulas from the leaders in New Money. These are people who in many cases are “work at home millionaires”. They’ve mastered the art of wealth creation on the internet, but also, the art of living a life of fulfillment. We’ve designed this series to bring you their best strategies and distill their ideas sown to concepts and instructions that you can use right away.

FREE Bonus Interview From Jet Set Money:

Would $20,000 a Month Allow You To Jet Set Around The World Whenever You Wanted To?

I wanted to let you listen in to an interview I did for the first module of Jet Set Money and just imagine how different your life would be if you generated $20,000 a month by creating one sales page and selling one e-book with a companion audio.

The Truth is We Just Want To Travel (PLUS a FREE Gift)

Posted on October 13, 2009 by Rob

7Secrets book 228x300 The Truth is We Just Want To Travel (PLUS a FREE Gift)

Here’s the whole back story behind last week’s survey:

Kim and I are just two people that love to travel. We are NOT internet marketing Guru’s, nor are we IN the internet marketing business. We really are just two people that LOVE to travel.

A few years back (after reading the Four Hour Work Week) we went on a crazy search to try and figure out how to make some money to fund our travel habit with an online business. After doing a lot of things that didn’t work we began figuring out what did work (the 80/20 if you will) and we started making money online.

That’s when the crazy part started happening. Everyone wanted to know how we did it. At first, we spent a little bit of time answering phone calls and emails about it, but honestly after a while it became nuts. It was A LOT of work trying to explain a year of research to people.

Like I said, we are NOT in the internet marketing business and DON’T want to be. It’s just not where our heads are. We just want travel. But, that did not stop the emails, phone calls and questions from coming in. The truth is we love to help and we could see the frustration that people were having trying to figure this out.

So, we decided to do a survey and see if there really was THAT much of a demand or was it just a few people making a lot of noise. We kind of wanted to get some real data behind it.

The results of the survey were very clear. People wanted to know. We needed the extra work of putting a product together like we needed holes in our heads. We are so far behind in editing our travel videos and guidebooks that we really just don’t have the time to put one more thing on our plates.

But, after reading the survey, we knew we had to do it. We decided to put a product together to help people with this. It’s called “Jet Set Money” and it will be released in a few weeks – November 3 to be exact.

It was A LOT of work but we think it’s amazing. We’ll give you some more details about it next week, but suffice it to say – we think it’s really cool!

Kim even put together a really cool book called “7 Secrets To Go From The Rat Race To St. Tropez” as a gift to you. So, if you want to be the first to get an invite when the product is launched and want a FREE copy of “7 Secrets to Go From The Rat Race To St Tropez”

Just Click Here For Your Free Copy

We’ll be in touch with more details next week.

And The Survey Says (So Far)…..

Posted on October 6, 2009 by Rob

We recently sent out a survey regarding what you guys most wanted to know about having a Jet Set Life. While we are still tallying the results I wanted to give you a sneak peek at the responses so far.

If you haven’t taken the survey please help us out and click the link below.

Take the Survey Here

WHAT ARE THE TOP TWO THINGS THAT ARE HOLDING YOU BACK FROM LIVING A JET SET LIFE?

Time and Money. Yep. You guessed it. No big secret here. Most responses kind of went like this:

1. “I just don’t know where to start”.

2. “I don’t have the time to learn a new skill set because I’m working full time”.

It seemed many people were in kind of a “luke warm” place. In other words “I make a great living but I’m tied to my job“. It wasn’t horrible but it wasn’t what they wanted either.

WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP YOU OVERCOME THESE PROBLEMS?

The answer to this question was almost unanimous.

1. “Tell me how to do it”.

2. “Give me examples of people who are doing it”.

IF YOU COULD HANG OUT WITH US OVER A CUP OF COFFEE WHAT TWO Q’S WOULD YOU ASK US?

The answers to this question varied widely, but they all sort of boiled down to these two responses:

1. “How can you travel so much without going broke?”

2. “Can you help me have a similar life?”

HERE’S WHERE I NEED YOUR HELP

I think I have isolated the challenges people are having to the following three basic areas, but I need your help to let me know if I’m on the right track.

Would you mind helping me out by reading the three statements below and letting me know (by leaving a comment in the comment box) if you identify with these three items as being your biggest blocks to having the jet set life that you are really after (or do you have any other blocks that you would like to add)?

1. “I don’t want to loose the income I have from my current job to start something new”.

2. “I don’t have the time to learn a new skill set”.

3. “I don’t know what my niche is”.

Why Not Have Your Cake and Eat It Too?

Posted on September 29, 2009 by Rob

happy 300x214 Why Not Have Your Cake and Eat It Too? We’ve been getting a bunch of e-mails from people asking us when we are going to re-open our Secrets of Successful Muses Membership area to new members. The short answer is Kim and I are not exactly sure. We really could use your help!

As you know the Secrets of Successful Muses course was created to answer this one single question we get asked constantly…..How can I create my own online business and be able to travel like you guys?

When we first launched the course this past summer it was sold out in less than a week! The good news was that it was a WAY bigger success then we thought it would be. The bad news is that it was a lot of work! So, if we do decide to re-open it again we haveto keep it small and manageable.

Here’s where we could use your help. Kim and I are ALL about constant and never ending improvement in everything that we do! We don’t mind doing the work but we want it to be exactly what you’re looking for.

Would you mind helping us out and answering a brief survey here:

Are You Able To Jet Off To St. Tropez at a Moment’s Notice While The Whole Financial World is Crashing Around You?

St Tropez Port Are You Able To Jet Off To St. Tropez at a Moments Notice While The Whole Financial World is Crashing Around You?

Post written by Robert Murgatroyd. Follow Kim and I on Twitter.

Are you able to jet off to St. Tropez at a moment’s notice while the whole financial world is crashing around you? Try not to take that question quite that literally and see if you could look beyond what could be construed as an arrogance. To ask it in a different way: Have you created some kind of business that is set up for the sole purpose of fulfilling your dreams?

What’s Your “Jet Set Life”?

Everyone has a different version of what they would consider to be their dream life. For Kim and I, it’s traveling around the world for weeks (months) at a time, creating guidebooks of the coolest spots on the planet and sharing with people. For you, it might simply be to take a few more weeks off a year, maybe just spend a bit more time with your family or maybe it is to Jet Set off for months at a time around the world! Whatever it is for you, we have to acknowledge one cold hard truth, it takes money to do it. Consistent and re-occurring moo-lah!

So Where Does The Money Come From?

So, where does the money come from and what kind of business do you create? If you’re like most people you’re probably already up to your eyeballs in work (that you don’t really love). The thought of adding one more thing to overwhelm you is not exciting. What if I told you that there is a Secret Society of people who have figured out how to do what they love to do, have the entire business on auto-pilot and generate the cash they want every month to live their version of a “Jet Set Life”?

Don’t Settle. Create The Life You Really Want!

Tony Robbins calls these guys the Masters of New Money. Kim and I simply call it having Jet Set Money. Whatever you call it, it doesn’t really matter. What does matter is living the lifestyle design that you want and not settling for where you currently are. O.k., so back to my original question.

Are you able to jet set off to St. Tropez at a moment’s notice?

If the answer is no and you wish it was yes, why do you think that is? Don’t answer just yet. I want you to REALLY think about this. A few things to consider: Is it that you don’t know where to begin? Is it that you “don’t have the time”? Is it that you don’t believe it’s possible. Where are the “blocks” for you? What is it really? What’s the TRUTH!
