Cashing In On The Digital Gold Rush: How You Can Benefit

By Merv Stevens on May 14th, 2013

for the weekend attending the Bottlerock music/ wine/food festival. Wow, he must have had a great time! The Digital Life is sweet!!

Jay had been checked in at the Western Hotel downtown San Francisco. Believe it or not this was the first time to he’d been to San Fran! He had wanted to visit there as long as he can remember and now he was ready to take tours of some of the famous Gold Rush sites.

As you can tell from the Digital Gold Rush video boot camp, co-founders of the Six Figure Mentors (SFM) and the Digital Experts Academy (DEA), Stuart Ross and Jay Kubassek, are kinda obsessed with the Digital Gold Rush and all of the similarities it has to the original Californian Gold Rush…

Did you know that the vendors, merchants, and suppliers (selling picks, shovels, etc.) made more money than the actual gold prospectors?

If you’ve been following Jay Kubassek on social media you would have known that he was in Napa

Did you know that Levi Strauss was one such merchant? He traveled 18,000 miles by ship from NYC to open a merchant business that would import supplies and goods from the family business on the East coast!

More recently in 2007, we all know what happened; the bottom fell out of the traditional economy. Those on the cutting- edge profited wildly while most

were caught unaware. (Jay’s and Stuart’s business doubled between 2007 and 2009 for example.)

The Digital Economy was less than 20 years old at that point and as you can see in this infographic, it literally EXPLODED with growth. No different than any other time in history, every major recession/depression simultaneously caused a new revolution… (more on this later).

The big money, the walk away income is going to come from those who are correctly positioned to take advantage of the Digital Marketing Arbitrage – helping people still stuck in the traditional “Titanic” economy transition to the digital economy. (See below)

A retail merchant (or retailer) sells commodities to consumers (and businesses). A Six Figure Mentors Member is such a merchant. An SFM Member connect people still struggling in the traditional economy with a solution to help them get their business successful in the Digital Economy.

Merchants have been playing this role for centuries, and this is one facet in the world of commerce that hasn’t changed. There is, however, an important twist in today’s digital economy.

As a result of the Digital Revolution, every physical product that can be digitized will be digitized at some point. This is a foregone conclusion. What this means is that, as the physical world transitions to the digital world, there will be more and more opportunity for “digital merchants.”

In the digital economy, the connection between physical time and space has been severed. The connection between physical, tangible products and value has been erased.

Economist Paul Zane Pilzer predicts ten million new millionaires will be created within the next 10 years.

How is this possible you ask? Just like this…

The secret to YOU being able to create a Digital Life is not to start your own business, invent your own product, or be the next Mark Zuckerberg per se.

You don’t want to compete with Amazon, Google, or Facebook, or the zillions of tech startups arriving in the online world every day. You don’t want to compete with companies that are funded through venture capital with millions of dollars. You don’t want to compete with Harvard grads with a 170 IQ. Really, it is no different from the original Gold Rush, when everyone was crawling over the next person prospecting and digging for gold. There is stiff competition online, there is no question about that.

Just as I mentioned above, more money was made by the middlemen- the merchants selling picks and shovels to the miners- than those digging, panning, and mining for gold.

More wealth was created servicing the Gold Rush than from the gold that was discovered. Don’t dig for gold; instead sell picks and shovels. Don’t pan for gold; instead sell pans or teach people how to panfor example.

Think of the Internet as a giant farmers’ market, where people can come to buy and sell digital products. Unrestricted by physical location, supply chains, production and inventory there are billions of transactions a day. The transactions take place virtually and instantly.

Unlike the merchants like Levi Strauss who traveled 18,000 miles from NYC to set up a supply business for the Gold Rush, there are no physical restrictions to trade and commerce within the digital economy.

Unlike the traditional economy where physical products are produced, shipped, and exchanged for local currency in physical locations and storefronts around the world, here there is no inventory per se.

Thanks to technology virtually anyone can create a digital product and sell it to anyone else connected to the Internet.

There are no physical or visible distribution channels (trucks, trains, planes, etc.) The customer chooses the product that he or she wishes to buy on the Internet, and the transaction takes place. The affiliate is invisible, and in most cases the buyer never even knows about the affiliate.

The affiliate didn’t create or produce the product.

He/She didn’t stock, ship, or service it either. In most cases, he/she didn’t even create the marketing materials, or process the payment. All the affiliate did was connect the buyer with the seller and get paid a commission.

Arguably, once you have learned digital marketing as a skill-set, you will be able to write your own check for life.

As a member of the SFM, most of the learning curves and costly mistakes are avoided. Instead of learning everything on your own, the SFM teaches you all of the skills, strategies, and techniques you require to become a successful reseller of the DEA product line- potentially earning thousands of dollars a month in commissions.

Are you going to take action now and be one of the proactive ones who ALWAYS profit, regardless what the economy does? Or are you going to wait and see if the Titanic will actually sink?
