As a marketer, how aware are you of the money making ideas that are all around you?
Can you see them? Or do you miss them?
Are you open to them or are you closed to new ideas because you are so focused on your way?
Last night I flicked through the local free paper that comes through my door once a week. I only ever glance through it just to see what is going on and on the second page I saw a small article, no more than 150 - 200 words in length.
This tiny article connected dots in my brain and within an hour I’d outlined a product idea that could potentially make several thousand dollars extra for me every single month with very little work. It would provide a steady flow of qualified leads who have money to spend.
All this from a tiny little article?
Yep.
The best thing of all is this idea takes my online business offline, which means I can significantly increase my income whilst providing value to my new customers.
Now, I am not saying get distracted from your business plan, but I am saying be open to ideas. This idea compliments my existing business nicely and takes it to another level, all from a free newspaper.
Keep your eyes and ears open because there are money making ideas all around you - you just have to spot them. Not everyone can, but those who do are those that bring in the cash.
