Newbies... Calling all bad questions!

[MJ DeMarco]

I'd like to put together a FAQ, or a general page for newbies that addresses the following items:

1) Frequently asked questions (questions that have been asked over and over)

-- Do I go to college?
-- Do I learn to code?
-- Where do I start?

2) Bad Questions

-- Is this Fastlane?
-- Will you mentor me?
-- How do I make $10 Million in 10 Years?
-- Is joining this MLM a good idea?

In your opinion, what's a "bad question" or a "repeated question"?

BTW, despite the cliche "there are no bad questions" I disagree. There are. Some questions are so bad they will reflect poorly on yourself. If a simple Google search would yield the answer, it's a bad question.

A bad question means you'd rather waste my time than yours to find out.

Fire away...

'I have 'X' dollars, what do I do?' (ie, tell me where to put it)

How can I make a business where I work 1 hour a week but still have $100,000/mo income? I need the income to be instant and guaranteed.

"What's a product with good margins?"
"Should I quit my job?"
"Starting/building an app"
"I have an idea how do I execute?"
"Could you wipe my a$$ too?"

What's the fastest way to make money?

I just need a $XX,XXX investment and I'll return 400% within 4 months, how do I get this? *Hint: 'who will invest'*

 

[RyanC]

I have monthly payments (mortgage, insurances, ...) In my slowlane job I have a decent income to cover these costs...however, it's slowlane. If I quit my job today, how can I make sure to have enough money to cover all recurring expenses every month?

Is it true that anyone can make money on the internet by teaching other people how to make money on the internet?

What do you mean by "do not reinvent the wheel"?

Not to hijack (okay I will) but it is INSANE how few people even think about their actions enough to even consider asking this question in the first place. So often these copy-cats are confused and blown away at why everyone is upset that they copied the business process and product of a mentor or fellow forum user 1:1.

Just insane.

"Why can't you tell us what niche they are in? I thought ideas are worth nothing."

In a successful process thread: "What product are you selling?"

"How do I get free traffic to my website"

No traffic is 'free'. Either pay for it directly or pay for it by putting out stuff so great that people can't help but share it.

EDIT: Actually, do both.

To save my double post accident, another bad question:

"Should I start an amazon business or an e-commerce store?"

Find needs, serve them.

"How do I explain what I'm doing to my family and friends?"
"But I thought you can't do that?" - correct question is "How can I do that?" (thanks to @zen******* for curing me of this one)
"Why is this so hard?"
"Which information products should I buy to get rich?"
"Can you send me your information product for free?"
"Can I borrow your Ferrari?"

What's Jack's niche?

I think he told me on our phone call, but I forgot what it is.

Who here really is wealthy?

 

[MMatt]

I don't have any money yet, but to those of you who are gazillionaires already, what do you do for income producing assets and wealth preservation?
