So, I was wrong.
I had the historical data in front of me...
I processed it with my very best efforts...
And I thought I had the right perspective.
So, I wrote about it.
And still, I made a miscalculation.
And I couldn't be happier!
As the author of Yahoo! Store Profits, I get hundreds of emails a
week from potential customers, all asking the same types of
question:
The most common is "Can I make a Full-Time income from my Yahoo!
Store?"
My answer is "Probably not from just one store, and probably not
your first time out".
Another good one is "Can I make money next month?"
I say, "I wouldn't count on it".
And my favorite? "How long will it take me to quit my job once my
store is open?"
I'd like to respond with "???????????????????????" or "How long is a
piece of Rope?"
But I don't.
It's usually a "Don't set that kind of expectation...This is a real
business - not get rich quick...It depends on how hard you work and
how much you educate yourself..."
Blah Blah Blah...
You see, it's in my nature to always take a conservative view of
success. After all, when I talk about the potential of owning an
eStore, I'm putting my reputation on the line.
I'm essentially asking someone who purchases Yahoo! Store Profits to
assume that everything that I'm saying is true - that every bit of
research that I've done is accurate.
I mean, how many e-Book authors are there that sell information
about making money? Thousands? Tens of thousands?
But of that lot, how many of them actually make money in a business
that has nothing to do with selling information about making money?
A dozen? Maybe.
I know that asking for that kind of trust is bold, so Audrey and I
allow folks to look at out flagship Yahoo! Store on-line, just so
they can see that we have an honest-to-goodness Yahoo! Store out
there. It has an Alexa rating of less than 120,000 and a Google Page
Rank of 5 - which are all really good public stats. We've got a
screen shot of our store revenues on our main Yahoo! Store Profits
page...
Still, I don't want to set expectations too high, even though I know
that what I'm doing, what I'm teaching - and ultimately what I'm
selling - WORKS!
So, I try to dissuade. I tell them that I'll take lots of time, lots
of effort, and little bit of luck to create a successful store.
Well, as it turns out, for one of my customers - that was
inaccurate.
I was wrong.
I'd like to introduce you to a Yahoo! Store Profits Customer named
Brad Fallon.
Brad's Yahoo! Store is about 110 days old.
He's on target to make over $120,000 NEXT MONTH.
I warmed up a big old plate of crow and called Brad. We talked for
nearly an hour...
----- And I recorded it!!!
So, head over to:
Interview with Brad Fallon
and read more about it. You can also download the audio interview
and see what a guy like Brad does to make his Yahoo! Store (That
does business in a Highly Competitive Market) attract over 84,000
unique visitors per month...
Trust me (Hehe), you'll want to listen to this...
Till Next Time!
