I am unlikely to be posting a review of Niche Blueprint. I don’t know at this stage if it is good product or not but it looks like it will be great quality because it is limited in supply and has service. Niche Blueprint is put out by the same people who did commission blueprint. That was a pretty good product so Steven, Tim (and this time with Dave Hermanson and his brother) should do pretty well from this launch. They were recently featured on Fox News for selling a bird cage and they sound like nice guys. I have nothing bad to say about the people or the quality of the product. It is the business model I am not really interested in.

The last thing I want to do right now is….

…start an e-commerce store where I have to deal with wholesale drop-ship goods. The Niche Blueprint business model looks like it involves membership to a world wide brands style service. On John Reeses recommendation I joined World Wide Brands a long time ago and I have never done anything with it. The few starts I had trying to get physical products to ship were not worth the effort. You can easily get stuck with the problems of physical goods and merchants such as becoming an order and claims clerk! You will have to log in to some merchants and place orders in their system. Yuk. (They will be teaching you paypal to avoid merchant account blues).

Make no mistake, running niche e-commerce stores are like a real business and they have real challenges. They say it is a copy and paste autopilot program however the most money can be made from flipping these niche sites and this is not my thing. The sites only make a few thousand dollars a month and you would need a lot of them. If you do get them working you will need to outsource the running of them and then get more advanced with affiliate programs and merchant accounts.

My business model is different

Whilst we both chase buyers with commercial intent, I prefer to go for higher margin, digital goods and more competitive markets. I also like the freedom to get instant supply of my own and other peoples products by using affiliate networks. Some of my sites are making more profit than the Bird cage site example they mention. I never sell sites. I build sites, build lists and keep them so that I have a huge network of assets growing and building in value. I’m sticking to recurring business models with digital goods and outsourced payment gateways.

What I am doing instead:

I am fully focusing on consuming the current info products that I am using to fast track my business. It is important to sit down and go through current projects before chasing the next. Staying away from the latest greatest thing can do wonders fro the bottom line. Make sure you use the products you have bought.

January has always been my time for strategy planning. Every year buy a new diary and then go to a beach house with the family while I hit recharge and work out the best things to do based on last years results. In December I had my best month ever because many of my tactics came together. I saw the outcome in my mind earlier that year and time played it out. I combined affiliate sales, offline IM sales and my own products and services to have a boomer. (Huge).

I remember when it all started…

I took Traffic Secrets 1 by John Reese away with me to the beach house and studied it hard. Straight away I was able to make serious changes to what I was doing and I was so inspired by what I saw I booked Yaniks Underground Online Event and went over there to soak up the vibes.

Contacts I made at that seminar became instrumental in the year that played out.

Consume what you already have

I usually head up the coast to the beach house with a Laptop and a bag full of the best products to re-consume: Nitro Blueprint / Nitro Quatto, PLF 1 & 2, Traffic Secrets 2, Stomping the Search Engines 2 and of course I’ll be continuing my SuperFastResults members forum!

A far better way to leverage your business if you already have one is:

Work on building the basics for the system. Systems like research, content, traffic, list building work by compounding improvements across all the essential parts of your business.

It reminds me of the Jay Abraham teachings and his Mr X book. (In fact I am taking Mr X book to the beach house because it is probably THE best book ever written for business leverage.) That aside, if you do not have Mr X anything by Jay is a great way to grow an already existing business.

I keep suggesting people run IM like a business because that is what you need. You can avoid all the crappy parts as I mentioned earlier in this post but when you apply formulas that help you increase prices, increase value, reduce costs, Increase sales, increase profits just doing some simple exercises then you have a power asset.

No matter what business model you have, doing the basics is going will enhance it when you apply them. When you compound changes you get a snowball effect. The ultimate outcome is you get to keep more of what you make (which is the real score in business). I teach my kids this information it is so good. One of the cool things is that when you watch the videos you can stop them and implement on the spot.

So good luck choosing your business model. Make sure it is what you really want.
