Before I get into it, I wanted to answer one of the audience members that had a bit of a jaded view on the speaker’s perspectives on making money online.
Let’s get this out of the way. The infrastructure you need to run your own membership site for example is minimal. As a real life practical example, I built one of John Chow’s websites, the total cost in materials was less than $500.00. My fee to do it was nominal so John spent minimum amount of money and the site launched making over 10,000 a day. All that we ever have to do to maintain that site is to update WordPress, WordPress plugins and that’s it. The plugins take care of everything and you just need minimal time to manage it.
If you think you need “all this infrastructure” and maintenance, you’re simply overcomplicating, procrastinating or you’re afraid. Get on it, do it and work at it. It works.
Ok, going into the rest check out this awesome group of bloggers rocking the room!
