What is more important the ANSWER or the QUESTION?

Many of my subscribers and members often regard my answers to their questions as too philosophical, confusing, and simply indirect.

And let me tell you that these people are so….RIGHT.

My answers are really bad, and as I see it not necessary at all.

You see, I really believe that my answers are truly irrelevant, and the questions my members / subscribers send me are much more revealing, and will actually get one further than the best answer I, or anyone else, can give.

I know it may sound hype or plain confusing, so let me explain what I mean by sharing with you a question that I recently got:

“Amir, what is in your opinion the shortest way to make tons of money online? I am asking this question because I have just got fired, and I need to make money – FAST. Apart from paying to your membership site, I don’t really have money to spend.

I really want to make this online thing work, but I currently have problem with taking action because I am not sure which path to take.

Thank You.”

Now, picture yourself getting such an email from one of your members / subscribers.

What would be your answer?

How would you approach such a question?

I don’t see how anyone who is honest enough can give a good and earnest answer to such a question.

Should I answer this question in an unmoral way, like so many so called gurus do, any say to this person that if he / she would just pay me some money (join my coaching, membership site, etc..) all his / her problems would be solved overnight.

Or should I just go the other way by saying that one can’t really make money online with this kind of starting point, and discourage him / her.

Sorry, not me, I may earn less money, and I may be regarded by this person as too philosophical, but I would never EVER tell him / her something I myself don’t believe in.

You see the question itself is fundamentally wrong to begin with, so every answer to such a question would also be fundamentally wrong.

You know, when I write my posts, I really don’t know if ALL my readers understand me, so I want to give a quick example of what I mean.

If you now go to google.com, and type something like “Why I am ugly” you will get answers from gazillion websites which will explain to you exactly why you are ugly.

I can see now the big flashy headlines of these websites…

Website 1 – Discover how to get rid of your ugliness, by buying the new “How to get rid of my ugliness overnight” eBook.

Website 2 – Join our FREE newsletter for great tips on how to get rid of your ugliness.

Website 3 – Join my coaching program, 10 weeks of….

Well you get the picture.

The Google.com search engine, or any search engine, will give one answers according to one’s questions, so if you insert wrong questions you will get wrong answers – wrong websites.

So…….what should this person do.

He / she should take a step back and investigate the question before rushing for the answer.

Then after serious investigation he / she will understand that the problem is with the – approach.

An online business is a REGULAR business that happens to be online.

It’s is not especially easy to build.

It will usually not make you tons of money fast.

There are small expenses (nothing like an offline business) that can’t be avoided.

If you are in doubt please understand that I am not patronizing or anything, but I truly think that if a person is truly serious about making money online he / she should deeply understand that an online business equals an offline business.

If a person truly understands this concept, not theoretically, but with his heart, with his mind, with his guts, with his whole being, the question itself will disappear, and the right action will be inevitable.

SOOOOO many of us look for the RIGHT way, The COMPLETE system, the new shiny method, but let us be honest for a moment by saying that most people who have a slight understanding of online businesses know that there isn’t one.

Because the new shiny secret is really the gurus way of giving us what we think we want.

So, let me say it here once and for all, and be very VERY clear.

The secret of making money online is going every day to your computer, turn it on, and work on a doable plan of action.

I know this doesn’t sound sexy like “The Google Daemon Annihilator” or whatever nonsense the gurus build, but that’s the truth.

You should just implement the regular, known to most marketers, simple but proven methods (uploading videos to YouTube, creating online courses, selling on Amazon, etc...) DAY BY DAY, and you will have a great chance to be successful.

Hope this helps.

Take care.
