Prime the Pump - Give Before You Get

Im writing this from my moterhome while my son drives us on yet another working vacation. I couldnt tell you how grateful I am that I finally got to where I am now. There are many ways to be rich and working from home is right at the top for me.

Almost three years ago I made a decision to work towards working on-line full time.

I started by reading everything I could get my hands on about how to successfully make a full time income on-line. I subscribed to every newsletter dealing with home based business, and networking. At one time I was actually getting over 1,000 newsletters and ezines each month although I have cut back now to my favorite 100 or so.

When I started I had no history in sales. The only sales job I ever worked was selling running shoes for Nike. The cash receipts never came out right; it was usually my fault as I couldnt be bothered with the money side of business. I still value my freedom more than any amount of money.

I had always believed that if you want to learn something put yourself in a position where you teach what you want most to learn. Thats why I started this newsletter and the monthly on-line ezine.

Every week I average about 20-30 hours just reading & writing articles asking permission to print the best ones by the best authors and mentors.

I have never earned a dime directly from the newsletter or the ezine yet I am now successfully employed full time working from home.

How can this be? Wheres the money come from?

Let me tell you a story to illustrate my point.

Imagine you are hopefully lost in the desert you ran out water days ago, and the temperature is over 100 degrees. Just as you are about to give up and expire you stumble into a rusty old water pump, you pump like mad but no water comes out.

Then you see a little bottle of water beside the pump, and a note that read.

"This ole pump will work, just take that little bottle of water pour it down the well. It will wet the leather washer. You will get all the water you want.

Earning money on-line is not impossible but perhaps 90% spend more money than they make the first year.

I think most of this wasted money is spent in search of the silver bullet that will make you rich overnight. Big business want to continue to keep us working for them, they want the lions share of the income for themselves. Our culture reminds us that a bird in the hand (a job) is worth two in the bush.

So if 90% fail the first year why waste time trying?

Giving up too soon is like drinking that little bottle of water, which only partly satisfies your thirst.

On the other hand instead of drinking the little bottle you invest your fate into the well where you can have an unlimited supply.

You have to give before you get; Im the one that ought to know.

Im going to give you the benefit of all I have learned in three years. Its the secret to success and it works 100% of the time. I can summarize in one word.

CONTENT

Free useful content about almost anything at all.

Earning residual income is much different than working at a job. Authors, writers earn residual income. The income comes from work they have already done.

Success on the Internet comes through giving before you get; its as simple as that. If you are serious enough to want to be in that top 5 to 10% all you have to do is center your business around developing free content in your area of expertise, everyone has expertise and everyone has a passion, find yours and integrate it into your business. Prime the pump.

Its getting easier than it used to me. When I started there were no easy way to learn the skills to build a successful home based business. Now there are so many "systems" out there that one can purchase its hard to know which ones are best.
