I've been thinking about this video all week. It's time for an oil change and I'm looking for my funnel. I found it sort of weird that I didn't make it simple. It puts it in perspective when you know you are trying to make money, but how concentrated are your efforts to bringing money in. Thanks for the business inspiration.

I read an interesting article on Copyblogger that talks about a similar situation. "monetizing a business is redundant". A true business model needs planning, accounting and research. Don't think of monetization as an after thought.

I always knew there was a reason why my music and business needed this to coexist.

Great Video! Really appreciate your no BS approach to tell us what you mean, not many people do that and it is one of the reasons I trust what you have to say more then others because I am the same way! BTW, what program do you use to get the fancy turning cube effect? Totally cool!

Q: Ready for some hard work?
A: Yes

Q: Bringing some sweat to table?
A: Yes

Already followed a lot of your suggestion and steps. And it is working one step at the time. Like you say, there is no short cuts or no cheat codes.

At least I am willing and determined to fill in the holes in my own blogging wealth gap.

Looking forward to your info on the Blog Masters Club.

Cheers... Are

James, just want to add to David's answer that market determines pricing. I always look at my competition for any business I have been in to see what services they are offering and if I can offer the same or similar service/product for an equal or even less amount (usually only less if I am competing against high overhead companies). If I can, then I move to the next step in my plan.

Research is the key.

Good Q&A here David…

Thanks David, I figured that I would have to give away a lot for free, I know how I like free! After reading more of the e-book I got from you, it makes more sense for sure. I have something to offer so why not make a living from it helping others.

I appreciate your reply, and I am more worried about all your readers taking my idea than you, I am sure you have plenty on your plate!

You can always do both. That's what I try to do.
