Guys, right after the New Year, I had a real epiphany. How didn’t I realize this before? Thanks to the person who messaged me and directly asked me to reveal everything to him.
A simple thought:
You don’t value what comes easily and effortlessly.
Even if it’s a great method, right out of the «just take it and do it» category. Even if an income report is provided and all money-making pages are visible.
Adam and His $74k/Month Website
Here I wrote about the monthly income from a single website: https://t.me/maxaffiliate/286
Adam realized he had revealed too much and removed the specific affiliate revenue, simply because it was an outright leak:
Pages are visible—their earnings broken down by affiliate programs are visible! That’s way too revealing. But if you open WebArchive, all the old stats are still visible… 😉
This post got about 300 shares and 9.5k views.
I asked people to reply if they started taking action after reading it. Here is the post: https://t.me/maxaffiliate/332
Only 3 people replied; some are really trying and working, BUT no one has results yet.
Everyone looked, admired it, and simply gave up. Even though it was a solid method. Even assuming another 10 people didn’t write back.
It’s still a tiny amount! For comparison, Adam already gained 6k people in his FB group, and these people seem ready to buy his courses and build websites. They are ready to crush it.
So Why Leak Methods in the First Place?
I really thought long and hard about this. You get information, you don’t value it—even if it’s great—and then someone claims that all information should be free, and anyone profiting off it is an info-charlatan. And once people get it, they simply ignore it!) It’s a paradox, but that’s how it works. Until you set priorities for yourself on what’s important and what isn’t, until you invest money or time, the attitude toward information remains «oh well, whatever he wrote there, I don’t have time to read it.» Even if it’s a real working method!
Look at what people write:
There Is Too Much Content.
There is now too much information, and the attitude toward it reflects that. Why? Because it comes easily and effortlessly. Without effort of time or money on your part.
And information keeps growing; Telegram channels are popping up like mushrooms.
Now let’s just imagine that someone leaked a method to you. You read it. You understood it. What happens next?
Most likely, you will ignore it and move on with your day.
So why do you even need content in the first place, one might ask?
Reformatting MAXAFFILIATE
The very same issues apply to me. I feel it myself. If it came easily and without effort, I will likely ignore it.
Therefore, I see the solution to this problem in the following:
- Deliver content that resolves and answers all of people’s questions so they solve specific tasks rather than consuming fragmented content from everywhere. Our goal is making money online.
- A mandatory condition to invest yourself—either with money or effort—and spend time; otherwise, the information will simply be forgotten
- Set common goals for the group, outline them, and move together toward reaching them. Join together as a group of like-minded individuals.
How do I see the solution to this question?
- Launching courses. A specific problem is set—how to scale a website in international SEO. Where specifically to buy links. What needs to be done step by step. Information is provided that is valued from the start, as money was invested in it, making it frustrating and painful to just ignore. A person quickly gets years of accumulated experience they can apply. An important point: you can’t just give them a fishing rod. You have to show how to build a fishing rod yourself if needed, how to analyze websites, because with the next algorithm change, everything might change.
- 1-on-1 consultations. In 1 hour, a person buys experience accumulated by an expert over a long time. In essence, they are buying much more than 1 hour)
- Providing services, like selling links that actually deliver results, not cheap spammy links whose only purpose is to drain money.
Right now I can immediately picture a hater sitting and reading these lines, having only one thought: «another info-charlatan is born,» but I am in a hurry to disappoint you—I’m not launching anything yet 😀
All I wanted was to highlight a real problem: why you can’t grow otherwise, why you are overwhelmed with info, yet your life doesn’t change because of it.
Summary
- Anything acquired easily and without effort is not valued
- There is too much information now, and even if there are real working methods among it, they get skipped over. So what’s the point of leaking anything?)) Good question.
- Information should be consumed in strict moderation, understanding its specific value to you. Courses, consultations, service provision—I simply see no other way out.
- Content for content’s sake has exhausted itself for me personally. Even if it’s a real working topic. We need to set common goals and achieve them together.
These are my thoughts in the New Year.
