Make something people want.

Yes and to refine that notion: * make a $1 priced thing that 1 million people want -or- * make a $1 million priced thing that 1 person wants

make a thing of $1 of profit that 1 million people want

make a $1 million of profit selling a thing that 1 person wants

thanks, but yes, that was assumed, and speaking in rough terms to convey the core idea ;)

It's funny how a lot of people say it's not possible, though there are hundreds of thousands of people on the internet who've done it (and I don't mean just exceptions).

For example: affiliate marketing and the whole internet marketing scene is making teens millionaires. I've been in London on this guy's conference:

He's become a millionaire in 2 years, starting when he was 17. Sure, he is somewhat "special", but I've been following internet marketing and there are 15 year olds that are making 5k$ /month just with affiliate marketing.

You think you're at least as capable as 15 or 17 year old? I sure think I am. Though there is a bitter taste to it all - the above guy made 100k$ with a method, then he sold the method to the public and made himself a millionaire.

Browse a little through IM scene and you'll see it's a totally different world. But it might not be your cup of tea. ;)

You move to a country that doesn't extradite to the USA. I hear Myanmar is nice this time of year.

Whoah, no need to delve quite so far into fascism. The list of countries which do not have an extradition treaty with the USA is longer than most people think ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_extraditi... ) UAE is probably your best bet if it's a developed nation you are after.

You wasted your money going to his conference.

He is obviously playing on the get rich quick mentality that many people seem to possess.
