Greetings from Chazz

They say that life is all about the journey. Well, if this is the case then consider my journey here one that has only been about three weeks old. In those three weeks I have been testing out other products, looking for right fit for me. And after reading and watching some of the videos here at Clicknewz, this feels like that right fit.

I am new to this but that doesn't mean I do not "get it". I fully believe that the internet is the vehicle that will (1) allow me to quit my job and (2) allow me to give back to people. Now, with all that said, I am so in learning mode and am ready to be taught. So hello to all of you and perhaps you are reading the first post of this guy named Chazz who went on to become a six figure earner. :)

I'm also new here and this is my first post. I like the sound of a six figure income, but I have to say half that would make me pretty happy and enable me to quit my job. I've been around the block so often that I have not found anywhere else where you can get as much as you get from here if you join the elite forum for the price of the membership. I'm very pleased I recently joined it and soon I will be submitting my sites to be critiqued. If you are very new it is a good idea to get someone solid walking beside you that you know you can trust and stick with them. Please don't be like me and become prey to the many dishonest and miss
leading people out there-I hate to say it, but watch your step and welcome on board.;)

Welcome Chazz! Great to have you here:)

Greenhollows, I won't mention any product names but I have looked at and tested about four others. The conclusion I came to about all four is that they "may" have worked for others but they simply did not jive with me. I will say I am also reading the book [I]Get rich click[I] which is a great eye opener to the online world. It literally is amazing with the tons of ways that exist to making money online. It is almost as if the internet bubble burst has clouded so many's minds in that they feel the net is a fragile place. I believe that we haven't even begun to put a dent into the potential of the net. But anyways....enough gibbersih...thank you guys for the warm welcome.

Thank you. I really like your reply and also believe what you say to be very true.

Welcome Chazz. :) I'm glad you joined us here!

I like your viewpoint, and agree. I've been working online 17 years as of this past February, and things have consistently changed and evolved - and they'll continue to grow and change. The last two decades have been amazing!

As for the book, I'm not a big fan. I *did* like the first chapter though. You can see my thoughts here: http://www.clicknewz.com/3052/get-rich-click/

I look forward to hearing your ideas. Let us know if you have any questions!

Interesting review. I will admit that his reverse e-commerce idea did strike me as odd, especially since drop shipping is (or has) become a big deal these days. Last few days I have spent reading posts on here and checking into my ideas I have for my first site. So I haven't picked the book up lately. Thanks for the direct link to your review.

You're welcome. :)

I worked with shipping physical products back in the day (WAY back, lol - 90's) and it's certainly not something I would do again. And not without the product in hand, for sure. Drop Shipping is okay, but you still have to process payments, deal with refunds, and do customer service. Which is why I chose Affiliate Marketing as my primary model. Of course I have a variety of revenue sources, but that one has been my favorite for the last decade -and my primary source of income online.

I would love to hear the models you're considering, or what appeals to you most.

First of all, I ordered the "Crush It" book. Thank goodness for Amazon Prime, lol. Okay, so I did a post in the private members forum where I listed my ideas. I will copy/paste it below.

I have spent the past few weeks looking at and going so far as trying them out. Funny thing is that all of them entice you with making money so fast that anyone can do it. Now, while I do believe anyone can make money, I also have doubts about how some of these systems work. What appeals to me about the approach here is that (1) it is about fast results, (2) there is a well thought out, up-to-date system here and (3) it just feels right.

My interest is in affiliate marketing. As such, here is my post with my ideas.


Well, I came up with some good ideas during my 12 hour brainstorm session. Look…I rarely have those moments where waves of ideas hit me at one time. I could be sitting on the toilet and then “LIGHTBULB”. If I don’t find a way to write the idea down I will lose it in like 11 seconds or something. I’m not kidding either. I will lose ideas like that quickly. However, ask me some sort of useless knowledge question and I will quote it to you like it is scripture in the Bible. Any who, so I figured I would toss out my ideas and get some opinions. Oh, and if you are too critical of any of my ideas then I won’t send you any cookies.

1. Going back to school- I am currently doing this. I work full time and I manage to go to school full time (online). I started in January of this year and have learned how to work study time, homework, etc into my schedule. The down side is I don’t have kids or a family. However, I figure I can do research and find articles to post on my site so that I can help reach a broad audience.

2. Gastric By-Pass- Okay, so I did about twenty minutes of researching on Google and here is what I discovered. (1) Tons of sites devoted to info about the surgery and (2) not really that many sites dedicated to bypass patients. I have personal experience with this and I know tons of people who have had it as well. I don’t want this to be just an info site. I would want it to develop into a “sort of” social media platform. Not only that but I will conduct research on fitness workouts for people who have had the surgery (because, as far as I can tell, nothing exists and I think it should). Plus, I want to have a tummy tuck done (loose skin) so I could include this journey on the site.

3. Relationship site- I dunno why, but I seem to be good at giving advice to people when it comes to relationships. I actually hosted a topic on this (on a forum) where teens (mostly guys) would ask me for advice. I had a comical way of handling it and I feel that I could make this work. I actually like helping others.

4. Religion- This one involves me getting my dad’s help. He is a Sunday school teacher and his lessons are creative. But I would also like to create ways to break up the monotony that these lessons seem to have become. My dad draws stick figures (Seriously…he can make a stick figure look like Jesus and running…its wild) and he seems to reach his students because his lessons are so simple. This idea would be fun and I feel it would service an industry that often times gets looked over due to how enormous Lifeway is.

5. Condos- So this is a dream of mine. I want to own a condo on the beach. The beach is my bliss and living right next to it would be simply divine. This would involve me learning all I can about condos. How the good ones are built? Best place to own one. Pros and cons. I wanna become the condo expert. LOL.


Now, these ideas are not listed in the order I rank them. I just jotted down the ones I liked. I am sure more will come but these are the ones I came up with that appealed to me. Any feedback would be much appreciated and thanks for reading this.

You'll love Crush It! :)

I'll reply to your other post in the private forum where we can dig in and do some serious brainstorming. ;-)
