I need your help – What would you ask a guru?

Hey guys, I’m going to have a unique opportunity to interview a guru. Someone who is a PRO at building internet businesses. This guy literally went from being overworked at his J.O.B. to making $7,230.95 in 30 days and that number just kept increasing and increasing. In fact, last time I spoke to him, he had made over $100K in the previous 30 days.

The reason I’m interviewing him is not just because he makes a ton of money, but he is one of the best educators I’ve found when it comes to what you need to do to set up a solid online business. Every time he speaks, I get some gem that I can go and implement on my business. I REALLY believe that there’s so much that you guys (and myself) can learn from him.

Who is He?

Now that part is a secret. Yes, I’m trying to build anticipation here, because I know that it will be 100% worth it and the content of this interview will be stuff that can change your life, and I want you to be anxiously awaiting it. Trust me, this won’t be one of those over-hyped things. It will be 100% quality content that can do amazing things.

Your Questions

Because this blog is about providing good info for YOU, I want to know what kinds of questions you would like to have answered. If you had an opportunity to sit down with an online success story, someone who makes a ton of money, who is in such high demand that he would normally charge $500 just for a 45 minute call with him, whose words can literally change your life, what would you want to know?

Help me craft this interview by giving me some great questions. I probably won’t be able to ask them all, but they will definitely be a great help to me. So go ahead and post your questions in the comments section. You can post as Many as you would like. However, please post one question per comment. Also, try to think through it very well and come up with the best questions you can think of.

I’m looking forward to getting some great suggestions :)

Be The FIRST to know

If you want to be one of the first people to be notified when the interview, I would highly recommend signing up to my mailing list to the right. Just enter your First name and email. Don’t worry, I wont be spamming you or anything like that, because I hate when people do it to me. Yes, you will receive good content that will help you be successful.

  • This is an amazing opportunity here, man... There's so much you could ask him! Be sure to get a good collection and write it down, because you might not get a chance like this again!
  • Oh, trust me. I'm not just writing them down, I'm putting it together in a full proposal, even though it's not necessary. I want whoever listens to it to get as much out of it as possible, so that they can take their business to the next level.
  • So with all the scams around making money online how can I explain to my wife that what I am trying to do isn't a waste of time and not just another scam. I been at it a while I see the light but realize it takes time and hard work to build a business.

    She things I am wasting my time and just doesn't quite believe yet. How do I make my wife a supporter and believer?
  • I would ask this Guru:

    "Now that you have reached a point of comfortable success, please tell us a few things that you would have done differently in the beginning?
  • That's always a great question to ask. Everyone makes mistakes along the way, and I'm sure that he would have some suggestions as to things to look out for that you might not normally think of. Thanks msfreeman.
  • All GREAT questions Joanna. I will see how many of them I can include. Thanks a bunch.

    Keep em coming guys :D

    Oops . . . that last question was from me Leslie -- lol. Also, when do you anticipate this interview taking place?
  • muhaahaaa. That's my little secret :)

    j/k. I'll give you guys more info relatively soon, once I get a few more things together. We are trying to make this as professional and beneficial to the most amount of people as possible.
  • Name
    Looks like many of the questions I would have asked, have already been asked. But I do have a couple . . . After you have done extensive keyword research, purchased domain names, researched PLR's, designed success and download pages, etc., etc. unless you find individuals to outsource to, it seems next to impossible to stay on top of everything--which becomes very discouraging . . . So, where do you recommend finding good sources to outsource? And, I know many of you blog, but is a blog truly necessary to be successful in online marketing?
  • I'm pretty sure we will get into some of that. It's just about impossible to do a significant amount online without dealing with outsourcing at some point. Thanks for the suggestion.
  • I think my initial ideas for questions have already been added. If I could find answers to just those questions I would be thrilled. Looking forward to the interview and learning more.
  • lindamcfadden
    This is not another question, but just wanted to add that I like Onna's question about the top 5 ways to get your blog/site noticed....I also would be interested in hearing this person's thoughts on this question.
  • ed17hunt
    More and more emails are being blocked every day, not just from spam filters but Yahoo, AOL, Verizon and others are putting a lot of checks in there system that is causing emails to be blocked so my question is, what can we do? Is there a way around this OR is there a service that can get my emails delivered guaranteed.
  • Part of that is using a legitimate system like aweber for your follow up. Another part of this is educating the people you are working with so that they know what to expect from you and add your email to their Safe list. You'd be a surprised, but sometimes just mentioning that on the thank you page can help.
  • Hi Leslie,
    I am new to Freebie Trading and I am also a totally layman in internet business. I would like to know just what this guru would teach a layman like me, to make substantial amount of money in internet business and what are the prices(in terms of time, money and knowledge) one would have to pay for it.
    As you know, "There is no free lunch." isn't it?
  • I definitely agree. Even the tiniest lunch costs something. This will definitely be addressed!
  • Wow-I am curious who this is! I have a few guesses- but I won't share those. I would be interested to know how he/she got started. What advice would they give someone starting out who doesn't have a lot of money to invest? What type of business do you think is up and coming? What would you recommend as the top 5 things to do to get your blog or site noticed-example, back linking, commenting, networking etc.

    I look forward to reading your interview!
  • STOP GUESSING, lol.

    A lot of you guys are coming up with questions that are similar to what I'm thinking. Great stuff. I'm loving it!
  • Mitch
    How do you maximize your traffic? And also how do you target your traffic so that you have mostly quality leads?
  • Oh, he's definitely an expert on that topic, and that will definitely be a big part of the interview.
  • Thanks for opening this up to us, Leslie.
    As one who has tried this, that and the other thing, my questions are along the lines of patience versus admitting defeat and also following through with a start-up.

    First would be:
    Are there 2 or 3 criteria that indicate a minor success will become a major hit?

    Secondly:
    They say it's always darkest before the dawn, so how do you know when to close up shop and walk away from an idea that just isn't working?

    Thanks and good luck!
  • Oooo, I especially like the second question. Thanks Edie.
  • kmixon
    I want to know, "How do you know when it is a scam? Which opportunities are real, which are not?"

    Thanks Leslie, look forward to seeing who it is and what kind of questions get asked!
  • Yet another great question. Actually, I have a post dealing with that exact topic. Check it out here!
  • lindamcfadden
    I find that often the advice offered by the experts is only useful if you have already reached a certain level of knowledge and achievement in the online marketing world. I would like to hear some concrete, easy to follow advice about how to begin. I would be interested in hearing this guru's advice for beginners laid out in an easy to follow step by step plan of action.
  • That's exactly along the lines of what I'm thinking Linda. We'll definitely try to cover that and make it as easy as possible for the Beginner!
  • Hi Leslie,
    thanks for the opportunity to participate in forming your questions.

    I would ask;

    What is the single most important skill or character trait that positioned you to begin the walk down the path to your success?

    In my opinion, tactics and strategies won't matter unless you determine this first. Congrats and good luck on the interview. Keep me posted!
  • Awesome Jimi. Thanks for your input! You are so right. It all starts with determination!

    Hi Leslie,

    Since I'm new to Freebie Trading and having an Internet business, I would like to know just how much a person has to invest (monetary) in order to truly maximize their profit. I really would like to know just exactly what this guru had to do and invest in order to make over $7,000 in 30 days. Looking forward to hearing and implementing his answers.
    melindajoyful
  • Thanks for the suggestion Melinda. I will definitely include that question on the list!
