This approach is strategically unsound.
However, those who set up and/or use systems to deliver value to larger numbers of people can earn a bundle, especially if that value can be delivered 24/7. P. Diddy may not deliver as much value per person, but he reaches a lot more people, so his social debt (i.e. his income) reflects it.
A teacher may earn $35K teaching dozens of students for a year. A pro speaker can earn more than that for a single speech. The pro speaker can deliver value to more people in one speech than some teachers will reach in their entire careers. The income difference reflects that.
I don't deliver as much value to each individual person as some people do, but because I'm playing in a larger field than most (reaching a worldwide audience via the Internet), I can deliver that value to many thousands of people each day, even while I'm sleeping or on vacation. I earn only pennies per person on average, but it adds up.
Just within the past hour, a woman told me that she was inspired to try the raw food diet after reading about my experiences with it. She lost 42 pounds in 2.5 months. That's a wonderful value she received from this website. I didn't even have to be there because this value was delivered passively. Multiply these kinds of effects over many people x many articles x many years, and it adds up to a lot of social debt. |
With all due respect, minus all the convoluted language, all you are trying to say is find a big enough crowd willing to spend money on something and deliver that thing/service to them. Doesn't really matter what - as long as it's not illegal.
It really has nothing to do with "scarcity mindset" or "wealth mindset". It has nothing to do with carrying 837 dollars in the wallet. It has nothing to do with people making x dollars claiming that x/100 dollars is an insignificant amount for them (duh, of course it's insignificant!)
It's simple, proven, age old, business strategy.
If you want big money, sell to a larger crowd, sell more and sell bigger (...more expensive) stuff.
Like I said, marketing 101, though not as simple, for everyone to implement.
