Are there any successful infopreneurs? I'm not sure if I'm describing what I mean
properly or not. Perhaps the specifics of my idea would help. I'll try and make it short...
I have aspirations to learn a few types of investing. Currently, I have someone willing to
mentor me a bit in real estate. Mentor is willing to finance a few new small deals with
my involvement, in order to show me the ropes firsthand. The catch: to learn some
landlording, I will have to assist in landlording several residential properties and one
commercial, free of charge. The length of this has not been determined yet. In addition,
there are two vacancies that must be filled (ongoing issue I was told) in order to
increase cashflow and justify new ventures. This too would be my responsibility, as well
as any rehab/construction work.
My only issue is that I can't devote the time needed for this and still survive. I will
have to quit my day job. I'm young, no family, and my expenses are low with low debt.
I'm trying to find a way to supplement my income in some way. I thought of making a
few websites, mostly informational, to generate income from (hence infopreneur). My
monetizing methods would be ads and affiliates. The biggest hurdle is what problem am
I solving for people? The only solution that I see from providing a site like this is
providing people with a plethora of high quality, in depth information. Basically I see it
as creating an environment where a person researching on the internet has found a
website that fullfils their needs for certain topic....no need to search elsewhere, other
than linked sites.
Am I missing something here? I've known a few people who have been successful at
this, but my opinion is that it all depends on your niche and knowledge of your niche.
Could my energy be better used in something else? Are there any other problems I
could assist people with from a site like this?
