Main Article: Need Help Uncovering The PERFECT Business Idea? Start With This Special Quiz… The Internet Marketing Center Team What do planting roses, learning how to box, making balloon animals, and running a half-marathon all have in common?

Nope, they’re not all “Amazing Race” challenges!

For starters, they’re the topics of websites that a few of our clients started from scratch in just five days…… but MORE importantly, they’re websites that are all based on each owner’s particular hobbies, interests, and experiences.

And that’s the key to ANY successful Internet business: Build your website around a topic you LOVE, one you already know something about, and one you’re eager to learn MORE about.

You’ll have a FAR greater chance of success!

That’s because, when you build an Internet business around something you already know a lot about, you can forget about wasting valuable weeks or months trying to get up to speed on your subject.

They call him “the world’s greatest pick up artist.” He’s wearing this crazy, tall, funky top hat like a magician. He has odd jewelry on. And he’s teaching guys how to “pick up women.”It’s a show on in the U.S. Where the man named “Mystery” takes a group of dateless, desperate guys and teaches them how to meet women.

It’s fascinating in that he has his own world and own set of terminology. Things like DHV’s, which stands for “Demonstration of Higher Value.” Then there are OIO’s, which are indicators of interest and IOD’s, indicators of disinterest.And the lingo goes on. You can see video of him on VH1.com. Just search for “pick up artist.”

What’s totally and completely bizarre to me is how much of what he says applies to Internet marketing. I’m going to zero in on one of those things – demonstrations of higher value. Let’s start with “the pickup artist” TV show to begin with. It probably wouldn’t exist unless a book called “The Game” hit bookstores big time and demonstrated the value of the concept. Mystery was the featured character in the book. And that likely had a major impact on him being the featured character in the TV show.

I have received a couple of emails over the past few days asking me why I am offering up so much from Marlon and the others that I back 150%.

I like to keep things simple.

I think anyone can create complexity. You know, take something simple and make it complex, so people will will deify your knowledge.

I think it’s quite another thing to sort through complexity and find the inherent simplicity. I’ve always felt all the great ideas were simple ones.

Alexander the Great conquered the world based on the short sword idea, a simple weapon. I could go on and on. So let’s get back to basics and the inherence simplicity of this business. Here are the important things:

1. Targeting a group of people with common wants or needs.

2. Finding out what they perceive as valuable.

3. Offering that to them with a sales process that gets them to buy.

Step one is where most people falter traditionally. But what I’ve noticed more and more is that step two is a problem. People sell their product, service or information too cheaply.

This is similar to what I been talking about over the months regarding broad generic niches versus drilling down inside that broad Niche and finding the true gold nuggets in there that exists. Now Marlon takes that a step and talks about find what the market is hungry for. How to identify what a particular target audience it need of filling that need. if you follow this line of thinking it almost impossible not to win every time.
