Two skills that immediately come to mind in this business we work in (online marketing) is writing and creating multiple streams of income.
Last one first:
I'm not a big homerun hitter. While I grew up imagining I'd beat Babe Ruth's homerun record, my actual skills on the diamond was in getting on base.
I'm left-handed. Most Little League pitchers suck at throwing against lefties.
Often, I found myself getting hit by a pitch or walked on 4 straight balls.
I rarely got a pitch to hit.
If I did, it was because I just wanted to swing and would throw the bat at any pitch not behind me.
So I was a singles guy. Or I walked. Then I'd steal two bases and hope the guy batting behind me could hit the ball to the outfield.
My idols growing up were Reggie Jackson (lots of homeruns and strikeouts) and Rickey Henderson (arguably the best player ever, who stole over a thousand bases and scored over 2000 runs -- both all-time
records).
I'm a singles guy in business, too. Many of my peers won't admit that. They want the big launch, the big book deal, the massive compliments for hitting the "grand salami."
My friend, Gene Pimentel, is a homerun hitter with a singles hitter
mentality.
What is domaining? It's like house flipping, only the thing you flip is the domain, not a house.
It's a LOT cheaper (one, two, or ten dollars versus tens of thousands of dollars).
And it's faster and easier. Gene "domains" full-time. Has been for years.
His ROI on his domain flips is other-worldly (he once sold a domain for $24k that he bought for a teeny tiny fraction of that).
I've taken a few of his classes. They're brilliant.
Gene
put together 3 of his best courses. They're on sale right now for the price of an extra-large pizza.
You could make some serious dough off what Gene teaches.
