Intro: Following this thread HERE, I'm going to attempt to follow the instructions provided. I want to find out for myself if the information can actually earn me money.

Realistically, I do not expect to make $100,000.
Personally, I believe the system cannot earn that much money.
Maybe it can, who knows? I want to document my process so others can see.

All in all, I appreciate @jkennedy for posting the guide.
I'm not trying to make bad of his character or chastise his system.
I want to experiment and see if it works.

Step 1: Read The Steps
Part 1: Create & sell simple digital “how to” guides.
Part 2: Add the customers to my email list.
Part 3: Mail my subscribers with more products and recommend affiliate products.

Status: Complete

Step 2: Find 3 Niches
Ask yourself these 3 questions:
  1. What is that one thing you talk about every chance you get?
  2. What is it that when you talk about it with your friends, you dominate the conversation because you like it so much?
  3. What is it that when you talk about it, your significant other rolls their eyes because they are tired of you talking about it?
You don’t even have to think about it, you know what that thing is.

That is your niche.

Today's progress is minimal because I just started an hour ago.
After this post, I will be researching niches.
I will do my best to update this thread.
