We changed our minds about Ecuador…

April 27, 2015 by Caitlin Pyle 2 Comments

Today, we made another big decision. We decided not to stay in Ecuador for a year. This might sound crazy to some, but the truth is, we can do whatever we want now, and we’re embracing it. We’re 28 and 32, we have no kids (yet), and we make all our money online. No desk … read more

Celebrating 4 Years of Adventures Together

Celebrating 4 Years of Adventures Together

On March 12, 2011, like 30-40 minutes after the scheduled time, I walked down the aisle to Brad Paisley’s “She’s Everything” a little too fast, with both my parents in tow, towards a slightly skinny man with a huge heart, to whom I now say “I do” over and over and over again, even when … read more

Recent Adventures… five months and counting!

February 9, 2015 by Caitlin Pyle Leave a Comment

We’re just over five months away from our big departure to Ecuador — still doesn’t seem all that real just yet… I was thinking today once we start packing up our stuff and our house is rented to someone else, then it’ll feel more real! The lightning speed in which January flew by should serve … read more

Why Ben Wants to Go to Ecuador

Until I can figure out how to set up a different username for Ben, he’ll be posting as a guest 🙂 I asked him to be a regular contributor to our adventure blog! Here’s his first post. I contemplated calling it “The Porkchop Perspective” … and for those of you who know me best, you … read more

We have a departure date!!

We have a departure date!!

[EDIT: We had to change the departure date to July 14… Stephanie (Ben’s sister and my one-and-only sister-in-law) is turning the big 3-0 next year and we just learned that we’ve been invited to a big family gathering in Bat Cave, NC at the River View Cabins  (owned by Ben’s parents) in celebration! That’ll be happening … read more

FAQs

Do I need an idea?

You don’t necessarily need an idea, but you do need a skill (or “genius), or someone close to you needs a skill/genius that fits the bill.

What fits the bill? Something you are really, really good at, something that people often ask you to show them how to do.

If people ask you to teach them or help them with something you’re good at, it’s a very good sign you’ve got something people will pay for.

If you want to (briefly!) run your idea by us, send us an email.

How can I benefit from a mastermind community?

8 Things You’ll Get as Part of the Monetize Your Genius Mastermind Community:

  • Answers and ideas from brainstorming with the group
  • The ability to tap into others’ skills and expertise
  • Increased confidence you’re taking the right actions to achieve your goals
  • Strong accountability in both your business and personal life
  • An instant and high-value support network
  • The assurance you are not alone — there are others out there sharing in your journey!
  • The freedom to design things to be the way you want them to be, not as you’ve been taught they “should” be
  • An inspirational boost to your everyday outlook and attitude
How do I find a profitable idea?

Brainstorm at least 15 ideas — they could fall into one of three categories:

1) Things you’re good at (i.e. public speaking)

2) Knowledge you have (i.e. astrology or fitness)

3) Personal challenges you’ve overcome (i.e. getting rid of your kid’s head lice, clearing up acne, etc.)

Try to get at least five ideas in each category.

3 Steps to Test Your Idea(s)

1) Find one (one!) person interested in your idea. You can do this via FB message, email, phone, or in person. If you’re not sure, ask ANYONE remotely close to the idea, even your parents. We’re not aiming for perfection right now, just a start.

2) “Test” your idea using this script: “I’m thinking of starting some kind of website around [IDEA]. When you talk to your friends about it, what do they say? What’s the biggest pain or problem around [IDEA]?”

3) Write down exactly what that person says. Did they say, “I want a quick fix”? or did they say, “I am so tired of feeling tired all the time.” Chances are, they’re communicating some kind of pain to you, not a desire for a cure-all.

How much money do I need to start up?

In addition to your investment in the Monetize Your Genius eCoaching program, we suggest at least $500 if you’re building a web content-based product like an online course or eBook. That will give you quite likely more than enough to build both your website and product.

What you’ll need the most of in the process is time: at least two hours a day. Chances are you’re going to spend a lot more than that if you really want to see this happen — once you get the hang of things (having a vision/plan plus guidance and accountability makes it so much easier), you’ll find yourself looking for ways to create more time to finish your website and product, and new ideas for content on your site/product will start popping into your head on a regular basis. You may even find it fun as you see your vision, or your “puzzle” take shape.

Ben and I built ProofreadAnywhere.com from scratch with less than $500 — that was for three years of hosting, the theme, and all the programs and plugins we needed to build what you see now, PLUS build our product. We looked for coupons and discounts for everything we bought, and used free plugins whenever possible. There are a lot of free plugins on WordPress that are really robust and add amazing functionality to our site.

We did about $500 of paid advertising on Facebook in the very beginning, before we realized that wasn’t going to get us very far (lots of clicks and no buys). If we could go back, we would probably not have invested in any paid advertising and stuck with affiliates instead. We dabbled in Google ads with some free credit we received from our hosting provider, but did not pay for any out of pocket.
