Archive for the ‘Make Money Online’ Category

I’ve been seeing internet marketing schemes launch on other websites for far too long. In fact, it actually upsets me when I see people offering so-called “revolutionary” methods online, and selling them for $50 or more… trying to justify the price along the way.

I’ve been working on this eBook, titled “Work Smart, Get Rich”, since the summer hit… and I finally got the website and book live as of last night. I’m hoping to make money off of this book, just like any other good marketer, but I’m selling this book for just $15 because I’m not trying to rip anyone off… I just want to see people make loads of cash online and I feel like I can help. :)

So what is this all about? Well, I’ve been seeing the “professionals” make tons of money making second-rate eBooks and selling them online for profits. So I thought, why not me? And this is exactly what “Work Smart, Get Rich” is all about. In a nutshell, I’m selling the method of making niche products and selling them… something you can do in as little as an hour. This is definitely what I feel to be the best internet marketing method available, as you can see terrific profits (as I did) with little to no work or experience. I’m completely new to the business, and have already seen firsthand the power of selling online.

This book and sales website are really just an experiment on my behalf, as I have never attempted something like this before, but have heard how successful it can be. Let me guide you through essentially what I have done!

First, I wrote the eBook. This happened as kind of a sudden thing after I was talking to several already successful internet marketers who assured me that I could make an ebook about total garbage and sell it. At first I thought, who would actually buy this junk? But it sells! So I took the time first of all to sit down and write my 18-page book about this exact marketing technique… which took about an hour of my time.

Now that I had my eBook, it was time to launch my product to the open marketplace. Of course, the place I went was the DigitalPoint Forums, although I might try and advertise it elsewhere to see what happens. You can read my original sales post here if you’d like to see how I made my first “sales pitch” on a forum. It turned out pretty well and I sold about 5-10 copies of my book this way. In addition, I was able to get some very positive reviews from some very established members. Apparently my eBook really is one of the better ones, and I’m not ripping anyone off with the cheap selling price.

Once I had enough money from DigitalPoint sales to put back into my eBook, I set up and launched an entire sales website last night with a fresh domain name “ebook-rich.com”… which I think is a pretty nice one! Setting up the website was a pain in the rear. However, now that I know how to make them, setting up pages in the future should be a breeze… so I call it time well spent. ;)

I have not had enough time to tell you how the website is faring, because I literally released it less than 12 hours ago and Google hasn’t had a chance to crawl through it just yet. My hope is that my targeted keywords “ways for teens to make money” and “make money instantly” will start seeing some action and I can eventually get some high placement. It’s really all about getting that Google search engine ranking. Once I see that, a lot of great traffic can come in to buy my book.

“Work Smart, Get Rich” is a really great book that really does demonstrate ways for teens to make money online. And I feel that you should all come by and order a copy, because it’s just $15 and can really show you how to start making $100s every day just by marketing useful content. If the other guys can do it, why not you? I’ve been delaying jumping into the internet marketing realm for far too long, and this is my ploy to make money instantly. See how I used my keywords? :razz:

I want to seriously encourage all of you to order a copy. It’s just $15, when my publisher recommended a selling price of $65. It’s all original and right to the point, I’m not trying to waste your time. I have a 100% money back guarantee on this title for your utmost satisfaction with the deal, so there’s really no risk. So this is basically it, my first attempt at making recurring income on the internet that I think is a really good one! And heck… even if you aren’t so interested in purchasing the eBook, you can join up with the free affiliate program I have put in place and start making 50% commission on sales.

Check out http://www.ebook-rich.com to start learning the method to making insane amounts of money online just as I have done. I promise that it will be worth your while, and you can’t beat that price! :) Stay bullish on the net!

This month alone, I have sold 4 text link spots on theNetFool.com through the Text-Link-Ads advertising network. To this date,  I continue to be amazed that there are so many suckers out there in the advertising realm willing to penny up.

Consider first that I already sell text links on my website through my main advertising engine. They are the first text spots in my sidebar, and run for just $3 a month… a complete bargain in my mind. One person has bought one, and the other was won in a monthly contest…nothing special at any rate.

Now in comes Text-Link-Ads, my revenue for the month is now $16.51 from selling four slots, slots that are far down the page and lost in a mess of information. Now, I know that none of you are the ones buying these… so I’m going to let you in on a little secret: these buyers are complete idiots!

A text link advertisement sold through TLA on my website is somehow valued at $15/month, and four people have bought one despite the fact that you could get one for just $3 with a better placement through me directly. That doesn’t make ANY sense. What’s more, these people were buying the links with my outdated Alexa ranking and they were only being showed on the main page. This morning, I updated my Alexa rank and let them be displayed site-wide… heck… maybe it’ll be worth $40/month now!? :razz:

This week, I’ve been waking up to friendly notices in my GMail inbox that read “Attn: Jim Re: Text Link Ad Sold,” and I get a big grin on my face… this almost makes my day. The fact that you could get a better ad for 1/5 of the price or a big 125×125 advertisement for the same rate amazes me that some advertisers simply do not care enough to explore these options.

Now let’s talk about the actual ads, because this is what really gets me. Link one is for “senior life insurance,” something I have absolutely nothing to do with… but hey, at least it has to do with money. Unlike the life insurance, the next two ads are about automobiles… wow. Who exactly buys an overpriced auto advertisement on a website about the stock market and making money? The best ad sold is for the “payday loans,” the most recent advertisement sold. I give these guys a round of applause because they seem to be the only advertiser aware of what this website is about, and who they can attract. At any rate, paying $15/month is out of line. I wish I had the marketplace like TLA does so I could get more of the profit! :)

Bottom Line: If you want to advertise on my website, you can find the best deal by just dealing directly with me. If I can sell text link advertisements for $15/month on just one page, you should find the $3 links a complete bargain for a PR4 website with loads of traffic, subscribers and growth potential. If you want the bargain before I raise my rates, get on over to the “Advertise” page and have a look around. And remember, the people that buy through third-party advertising programs are fools!

Deal direct, and stay bullish on the net.

That’s right. Huge profits are out there to be made in affiliate marketing, and this new method that I have already profited off of in a big way has me excited about the possibilities out there. You all know the standard referral programs that give you, let’s say, 15% back on whatever anyone who signs up under you makes. Pretty good… but you need to rely on people signing up and actually putting money down, which doesn’t always play out in our favor.

But what if your referrals just had to sign up, and got you credit regardless of whether or not they actually start actively using the service? Well heck, that sounds right up our alley!

Enter in referral programs that pay for everyone who signs up, not a percentage, a flat rate. I picked up on this method courtesy of Jason from The University Kid, who revealed an amazing secret that gives you $25 per referral, even if they do nothing after signing up, using the Text-Link-Ad advertising network. Righteous. All of Jason’s secrets have been offered up in a free eBook on his blog… so you should drop by and thank him for his efforts. But hey, let’s summarize the move here that can basically load up $25 after $25 after $25 and make you rich! :)

Let’s begin

So this is a trick involving one of the web’s premier text link advertising networks named Text-Link-Ads. We’re going to exploit their generous $25/referral offer to rack up some insane cash. Just as a disclaimer, I am not at all promoting pump-and-dump schemes in signing up useless referrals, you should always have the intention of referring useful members to the service. But with that out of the way, this is by far the best deal I have seen in terms of minimal work / high return.

  1. Sign up for a Text-Link-Ads “Publisher Account” to get started

In the sign up process, you will need to supply the blog/website you plan on advertising. If you are actually interested, then by all means do this. If you just want at the referral program, there’s nothing making you pay so don’t hesitate to sign up. Just a note: make sure you do not sign up for the “special offer” they propose at the end of the process. This program, called InLinks, completely disqualifies you from using the referral program so avoid it unless you really want to participate.

  1. Install the Text-Link-Ads advertising script on your website

The next step is to set up ads on your blog. Don’t worry, you really only need to do this 2-3 days to make sure it takes. You need to put ads out at first for the $25 to count per referral. So navigate to the “Install Ad Code” section and grab the WordPress plugin to install or just the script if you aren’t a blogger. Place it on your website and you should receive a message 1-3 days later informing you that they have seen the script installed and are setting your ad price to $X per link. On theNetFool.com, this happened the next day and was for $15-per-slot. I would leave this up for a while just in case they check back, regardless if you actually want to sell links or not.

  1. Sign up for the Text-Link-Ads referral program

I really don’t know why they make this semi-hard to find, but it’s there. Sign up for the referral program to earn “a flat $25.00 for any referred visitor that results in a sale or gets accepted into our publisher program“… nice :D . So now, anyone that follows your link and signs up as a publisher will be effectively handing you $25. There are a lot of banners and different ways to get referrals, but all you need to do is copy the link that appears like this “http://www.text-link-ads.com/?ref=######” and get people to use it.

As always, don’t forget my previous post that demonstrates how to mask this ugly link to better encourage folks to come down and sign up for you. Those numbers are ugly, so we can clean it up with Jimvesting’s affiliate/referral link cloaking method.

How does that sound, easy? Yeah. It is. There’s a reason I have been able to capitalize on this method. All you need to do is have some awesome readers to sign up under you (do it!), so you could make a post like this promoting the network as a way to advertise or a way to get referral cash in the blink of an eye.

The internet is your friend, and programs like this make it all the more better. This is just one of the many reasons that you should stay bullish on the net! ;)

Making money online can be as simple as getting a competitive return on your investment, instead of just leaving it in a safe letting it decrease in value over time as inflation kicks in. While the current rate of inflation around 4% won’t be completely overridden by PayPal’s new Money Market Fund, the number of people NOT taking advantage of the clear-cut 2.5%-3.0% return amazes me. Get in on this one today!

I came across this feature of PayPal a month or two ago, and I am very happy with the results. Essentially, PayPal has set up their own Mutual Fund that promises a safe, but competitive, return on the money that would ordinarily be sitting around in your account. I have a few hundred dollars in my account, so it is a huge advantage to subscribe to this service,as they are currently projecting a 2.64% yield.

I know, I know, its scary to give PayPal control of your money. They do say outright that you could lose money on the deal, but this is mostly a disclaimer than anything else. I would go ahead and say put all of your PayPal account money into the new “Money Market Fund,” as you will get better returns and you are safe. This isn’t your typical mutual fund, and I suspect they are investing in the safest things around (things like U.S. treasury bonds) that promise good returns regardless of economic headwinds.

Truth be told, the current yield at juts 2.64% is on the lower end of what they have done historically. Heck, they’ve even hit over 5.56% returns just a few years ago. Have they EVER lost money? No. Will they lose you money? Probably not. I give them the green light on getting you a positive return on money that would ordinarily do nothing in your PayPal account.

This sounds too good to be true right? Well, it really is this easy and good. There are no fees or anything to invest, and you can even put as little as one dollar into the fund… though that would be a bit pointless wouldn’t  it? They’ve drawn out a particular scenario where you invest $10,000 in the fund, which achieves 5% returns a year for ten years going. You would gain $1,349 on your investment! Sure, this is a hypothetical, but it is a great example of how having your money in the program can benefit you.

What about taking money out? PayPal makes this really easy, as you can literally take money out or put more in at any time. They kick back a dividend to your account every quarter, so you will see your investment start to come back in pieces. I love seeing my money actually doing something. Because they don’t tax your account money at all in the first place, you are making money with ease!

Bottom Line: PayPal’s Money Market Fund is a cool new way to get a return on the money ordinarily just sitting around in your PayPal account. Don’t be hesitant to join, its so easy and it is almost risk free. Don’t be too concerned with the disclaimers saying you could lose money, it’s not going to happen… it’s just required by law. I’m not sure if this is available overseas or not, so if you can’t access the feature… you are probably out of luck. Check out their prospectus for more details, but otherwise trust me and enroll today to start making money online in a whole new way… no business scheming necessary, start earning a competitive return today! ;)
