Money Grows On Trees
Money Grows On Trees
Great Sites and Tools for any Web master ....................... pg. 69
I realize that even the most profitable money-making opportunities won't work
unless you have the right mindset to succeed. Most people sabotage themselves
because they are destroying their own chance of success by not staying positive
about things.
I personally went through the process of trial and error so you don't have to. You
will learn how to bypass your resistance to success and to create a winning mindset.
You can learn from my experiences, which will give you the most powerful resources
of self-help tools to accelerate you to a new, more prosperous self.
A good attitude can't just work alone...a lot of programs say, “Just have a great
attitude and you'll succeed automatically.” It's funny how it seems to be that a lot
of people set goals, and then just seem to fall short. They seem to get involved in
certain opportunities that just aren't the right ones. We consider that the wrong
vehicle. You also need to have other things that come along with the vehicle in
order to reach your destination. In this case, your destination will be financial
success.
Basically, you will need a few things. One is a “Goal Map.” You need to have the
directions to get from point “A” to point “B”. Initially, people move forward toward
their goals but for some reason they seem to get detoured. It's like going down a
highway that is straight, all you need to do is simply drive and all of a sudden you
find yourself driving off an exit, sometimes going 20 miles inland, out of the way.
So basically always keep focused and get back on the highway and stay on course,
don't detour. If you have a plan or goal, don't allow people to tell you that it won't
work. Drive straight in like an arrow and don't get detoured. Don't let people,
places or things push you toward various exits along the way. Just keep aiming for
that bull's eye!
Positive Attitude
A positive attitude is very important to achieving anything. How can we take any
task and get anywhere when we're negative?
When we tell ourselves, “It will never work,” guess what? It probably won't. By
saying this, you have implanted it into your brain's subconscious and you will find all
the negative reasons a new venture won't work. In addition, you will take into
consideration what friends and associates say, like “That won't work, you're wasting
your time, you won't succeed with this method, etc.”
William Saroyan once said, “I am not the kind of guy to knock at a door and then
when the door is opened, not go in.”
Take that 'kindle of fire' urging you from within, and blow on it, watch it grow into
the powerful flame that is confident, motivated, enthusiastic, and completely
empowered! You deserve the best today!
I recommend taking one idea and study it well for one day. Each day of the week
take one chapter or idea and delve in it. Do this for only six days of the week. You
must also rest and not overwork yourself. If you already know what kind of work
you want to do, such as Ebay, affiliate programs, Adsense, HYIP's, or any of the
other money-making opportunities discussed in the book, then get right to it.
The reason this book is called Money Grows on Trees is because I strongly believe
that one should strive for success via several streams of income. Firstly, it means
more income for you. Secondly, it gives you the flexibility to focus on a different
opportunity when one is not going so well.
The Internet has grown so popular that millions of people rely on it for their daily
life, whether for business, shopping, health, or information. I am not saying that
the Internet is the tree of life but I am saying that it poses great opportunities for
those seeking to work from home and make an incredible income. But there are
many branches on this “tree” called Internet and they are all filled with money that
is available for anyone who is willing to strive and climb to get it. And just like any
other tree, there is always enough fruit for everyone because the tree is always
growing.
The key advice I can give you is to be persistent and never give up! Alexander Pope
once said, “Strength of mind is exercise, not rest.” Be diligent and work hard. I am
assured that if you put in the effort and work needed for the first few weeks, you
will see a steady flow of income that will work on autopilot.
I now that if my family is able to succeed then so can you. At anytime, feel free to
contact me at [email protected] and I will try to answer your questions to the
best of my ability.
Money can be made on the Internet via online auctions such as Ebay, your
own product or commercial website, affiliate programs, blogging, taking surveys,
and even playing video games. Later in the book we will discuss ways of making
money without a computer as well.
Working with several streams of income allows you to implement your goals
into more than one channel and, hence, increasing your customer potential and
making for yourself more money. For example, I can sell an informational product
such as an Ebook on my own website and on Ebay, while also writing a blog about it
and advertising it in a couple of forums, and assigning to it an affiliate program so
that other people can sell it for me as well for commission.
You can imagine how many customers you can get if you market your product
correctly. We will discuss each of these steps and methods one-by-one throughout
the book.

while reading this book.)
Every minute of every day more than 150 items are listed for sale and more
than 500 bids are placed.
There are currently more than 80 million Ebay users who spend more than $60
million every day.
More than 2 million items are posted every day with millions of users searching
the site to find those items.
Ebay conducts more than 12 million auctions at any given time.
One you see these numbers you realize the potential of making money on Ebay. No
other marketplace can compare with Ebay in terms of size and scope of products
offered.
Everyone is familiar with eBay on some level. Its huge member base and
remarkable influence have made it instantly recognizable to millions of people. With
that level of awareness also comes a level of trust. Many people who would be
reluctant to spend anything at an unknown website are more than willing to make
purchases through eBay as a byproduct of their familiarity with the site.
Many of those who use eBay tend to rely on it almost exclusively for online
purchases. The ease of the site’s use and its popularity has created an entire
marketplace of people who are eBay-only buyers. Those who fail to sell on eBay
never have an opportunity to access this potential market.
Those who are involved in online business must consider eBay when
conducting their sales and marketing strategies. To overlook this giant is an error of
the largest magnitude. There are few other ways to have such potential reach
available for such a low cost so quickly. Many who never felt their efforts would
translate effectively into the eBay marketplace have been pleasantly surprised at its
strength as a revenue producing component of their business. If you have
something to sell online, you simply cannot afford to leave eBay out of your overall
marketing and business strategy.

Ebay Basics
Getting Started
First of all you will need to become somewhat familiar with the Ebay format and
know the functions of listing items on the auction site. We will focus on how to
make money on Ebay and not on things such as registration or how to list a
product. We are all grown adults and can spend 10 minutes on playing around with
the different features on Ebay in order to get a bit accustomed to the site.
Before you even start contemplating about making a real income on Ebay, you must
first decide on several factors. What do you want to sell? Who are your customers?
Will you sell only to a niche market? What age group are your customers? Where
will you get products from? Are your items hot and popular items?
These are the things you must begin thinking about now as your Marketing
Strategy.
What to Sell
With over 1000 categories, you can sell virtually anything on eBay. But choosing
what to sell can often be overwhelming. My advice is to look first to your own
hobbies and interests, because the most successful sales pitch ALWAYS COMES
FROM THE HEART. It sounds corny, but it is TRUE. If you don't believe in what
you're selling, and you aren't willing to stand behind your product, your online
business will certainly fail. You should never sell a product that you aren't
enthusiastic about, or else you should be able to fake your enthusiasm better than
a Hollywood actor. Either way, you must pass on the positive energy about your
product to the consumer. This applies not only on eBay but throughout "marketing
If this step is a difficult one for you, then at the end of this Ebay section we will
have a list of places where you can get the best products and at the best prices.
Once you know where your customers go, you need to KNOW YOUR CUSTOMERS.
Brainstorm a list of their interests, hobbies, likes and dislikes, age range, income
potential, likely vocation, marital status, etc. Devise a complete dossier on your
potential customers in that niche market. The reason for this will become clear later
as you learn to write an effective sales pitch. The sales pitch aims at attracting a
certain profile of eBay user and is the most profitable tool you can use to increase
the percentage sales of your products.
Before listing your item in any category, follow these simple steps: First, browse
through ALL eBay categories and write down which ones you feel are relevant to
your product. You should be able to find at least 5-10 possible choices. Next, write
down the number of auctions currently online in each of those categories (the
The easiest way to keep track of your auctions is to use software to track them. If
you list less than 5-10 auctions at a time, you can probably keep track of them with
the old pen-and-paper method, or with a simple spreadsheet. If you choose this
method, follow these steps for keeping track of the auctions: use a separate sheet
of paper for each auction you list. Write down the item number, URL, listing date,
listing price, and category, along with any other comments or pertinent
information. When the auction ends, write down the ending date, the sell price (if
any) and the buyer's contact information. Index the auctions by auction number for
quick reference in a file. Again, this method works ok for fewer than 10 auctions
online each week. If you have more than that, you must use a database system of
some kind. Selling the merchandise is only half the battle - you MUST keep track of
your sales or you will quickly find yourself lost and confused. Particularly on April
15th!
Your Strategy
The key to making enormous profits on eBay is to develop a detailed and efficient
strategy long before you list your first item. First you need to know what type of
product you want to sell, where to find your niche market on eBay, and develop a
profile of your average customer. In addition, you should already have determined
which categories are appropriate for your product. Now you are ready to set your
strategy for the business. Read this part of the manual very, very carefully.
I'm going to present you with a strategy that you can apply to virtually any product
you wish to sell on eBay. I will generalize the outline so you can fill in the specifics
related to your own particular niche market and merchandise.
There are two types of sellers on eBay which I will call High Volume Listers and Low
Volume Listers. High Volume Listers are those who list more keep more than 10
auctions online at a time. Low Volume Listers keep fewer than 10 auctions online at
a time.
The profit margin of the product you sell determines which category you will fit
into. For example, if you sell real estate and make $10,000 per sale, you may only
need to list a few properties each week on eBay to make a real killing with your
Internet business. The same applies for the sale of expensive jewelry, automobiles,
and other items with a large profit margin. However, if you sell magazines or other
inexpensive items you may only make $5-10 per sale. In this case, you would need
to list hundreds of items at a time to make large profits, and thus you would
become a High Volume Listing. I know what you're thinking - why would anyone go
through the effort of listing so many items when it seems so easy to list a few large
items and make a fortune? The answer cuts to the heart of Internet sales itself:
ONLINE BUYERS ARE MOST WILLING TO SPEND UNDER $50.00 FOR A PRODUCT.
This makes sense - would you pay thousands for something you have never seen?
Another reason that High Volume Listers are more common and often make more
money on eBay is that it is very easy to buy inexpensive items at wholesale prices,
Armed with this information, you must consider the product you're selling and
make an intelligent, informed decision on whether to become a High Volume or a
Low Volume Seller. If you have plenty of free time to devote to your new business,
I recommend you opt for the High Volume option. But if you are an eBay seller at
nights and on weekends, you may wish to start off with the Low Volume option
until your business really takes off. Again, only you know best which option to
choose based on the amount of time you have available and the profit margin of
your merchandise.
Once you determine what type of seller you will be, you are half-way to developing
a sales strategy on eBay. The next step is to integrate everything you have learned
so far in this manual and project your selling strategy into the future. For example,
let's assume you have decided to sell jewelry on eBay. Here is a test case for
consideration: You have identified your niche market and found the associated
categories. You know that your buyers will probably spend $50.00-100.00 per
purchase and you realize that the average profit of your auctions will be about
$60.00. You have plenty of time and your profit margin is low, so you decide to
become a High Volume Seller on eBay and choose to list 100-200 auctions per
week. You estimate that 70% of your auction will end with winning bids, which is
the eBay average. Based on this prediction, you calculate your weekly income at
$6300. Using database software, you plan to keep track of your auctions and use
the built-in market analysis feature to discontinue unpopular items and relist the
popular ones. You have a wholesale account set up with your jewelry supplier and
have already purchased enough inventory to cover your first week of eBay sales.
You plan to relist every auction as soon as it ends and place one weekly order to fill
your inventory along with one weekly outgoing mailing to your buyers. Your basic
sales strategy is set and you are ready to begin listing your auctions!
In the example above, you will notice that the seller thought of EVERYTHING before
listing a single item, making sure that he/she was prepared for the task ahead and
establishing a solid game plan. Before beginning, you should project your sales
strategy into the future and run through all possible problems, resolving them in
your mind. If it helps, write out a paragraph like the one above and analyze it for
errors of logic. KNOW YOUR SALES STRATEGY BEFORE YOU BEGIN.
I strongly recommend listing all of your auctions as regular auctions before you
begin. Do not feature them or use the Dutch Auction option at this time. Test out
your sales strategy and evaluate the popularity of your product in its niche market
for several weeks before continuing. The rest of this manual contains advanced tips
designed for sellers who have mastered the concepts already set forth and who
have performed a basic market analysis of their products based on the results of
several weeks of auctions.
Let me give you an example of how Terapeak helped me. In my Ebay Store which
is run by my wife and her friend, we were selling a Motorola W375 for about $93
and were making about $15 on each phone. We sold about 400 of these phones in
one month on and off Ebay (we found great cell phone suppliers). After doing
some research on the competition using Terapeak, we found that a competitor was
selling triple the amount of the Motorola W375 than we were and was selling the
phone for $104 while we were selling it for $93.
There are two types of featured auctions - those which are featured in category
cost $14.95 and show up at the top of the item's category main page. This ensures
that anyone who visits that category will probably see your auction, as the normal
browser scrolls down a few screens and then leaves. I recommend featuring your
item in its category if it has an average sales percentage of 50% or greater. In
other words, after running regular auctions for a few weeks, you should choose the
A regular featured auction costs $99.99 and generates even more bids than a
featured in category. Of course, it also costs a lot more, and as such you should
only choose this option if you your item(s) has a sales percentage of 60% or
greater. By featuring many popular auctions, you will make enormous profits on
eBay. But the key to success is running those tiresome regular auctions for weeks
to figure out which items to feature and which items to discontinue. Trial and error
works!
NOTE: eBay will not let you feature auctions selling information, services, or adult
material due to complaints from users. If you sell that type of product, you should
run a featured in category auction only.
A big part of your sales pitch is the picture that you attach to your auction, but you
must also provide an enthusiastic and energizing description that makes your
potential buyer feel like he NEEDS your product. Before you start writing the sales
pitch, refer to the profile of potential customers in your niche market that you
should already have compiled. What are their likes and dislikes? What are they
looking for? How old are they and what jobs do they generally hold? What are their
hobbies and interests? What makes them tick? A successful sales pitch appeals to
the base interests and self-interest of the customer. When writing a sales pitch,
attention to psychology counts more than attention to writing style. You need to
make your item description APPEAL TO THE TYPE OF CUSTOMER WHO WILL BE
VIEWING YOUR AUCTION. I recommend using some basic HTML coding to enhance
the description, but I do NOT suggest giant letters and distracting objects such as
blinking, animations, or more "cheesy" items in that regard.
Your potential buyer wants to know what your product will do for him, and does not
need a lot of useless distraction. Again, your item description must appeal to the
profile of the buyer and promote a feeling of professionalism and trust in your
company.
Feedback - It Matters
I've heard some eBay users remark that feedback isn't all that important, that no
one reads that stuff in the first place. Quite the contrary. While newbies and eBay
novices will often overlook the feedback for lack of understanding and inexperience,
almost ALL veteran buyers will view your feedback before buying your product. If
they see comments such as "product not delivered", "this guy is a fraud", "terrible
seller, would not trade with again" then they will never purchase your merchandise.
You need to have an outstanding feedback rating brimming with positive comments
to really make huge profits on eBay.
Also, you need a feedback rating of 10 or more to list dutch auctions or to feature
an auction. The way to ensure quality feedback is simply to deliver a quality
product quickly, efficiently, and honestly. If you are looking for a "quick fix" or a
"hit and run" scheme then eBay is not the place for you. You can build a hugely
profitable and legitimate online business using Internet auctions without defrauding
anyone!
There will always be a few rogue customers who claim they never received their
product or you were too slow to deliver it, or else were unhappy with what they
received. We all know that the customer is NOT always right. My recommendation
for dealing with such problem buyers is simply to offer a 30-day no-questions-
asked refund on any physical product that you are selling (services, information,
and software excluded for obvious reasons). If they persist in causing problems,
just ignore them. One or two negative feedbacks won't destroy you - 10 or 20 will.
You can sell several informational products for 1 penny each. It costs you nothing
to deliver since you will send the product via email, and you will have buyers since
the item is only 1 penny. Obviously, this is not to make profit, but rather just to
build your feedback. REMEMBER, the higher your feedback score, the more
Suggestion: Do not sell these 1 penny items as an auction or fixed price listing
because you will lose money that way since the listing costs are more than a
penny. You should list these in your Ebay Store where it only costs 2 cent to list
items per month.
RESEARCHING PRODUCTS
If you want to sell a certain item then do a search for it on Ebay and click on the
“Completed Listings” Link on the side bar of the page. See how much that item was
sold for before and compete wisely.
To see the hottest items being looked at on Ebay then click on the “Ebay Pulse” link
on the side bar on the Ebay Home Page. (See the picture below). Notice the great
titles and keywords that those auctions have. No wonder they have thousands of
people watching their auction. We will discuss soon how to get your item featured
on the Ebay Pulse and receive hundreds or even thousands of visitors to your Ebay
listings.
On eBay, the default search method only scans auction titles. These queries return
results based on matches to the search term found only in the titles. Don’t waste
precious space with useless descriptions like “Awesome”, “L@@K”, or “Wow!”.
Nobody searches for an “awesome” iPod. Put yourself in the shoes of the bidder for
moment and brainstorm the search terms she might use to find a product like
yours. Include these words or phrases in your auction title. Include your item’s
brand name, artist, or designer. State exactly what your item is, even if your title
repeats the category name. Additionally, if you have the space, consider including
alternate spellings of your product. For example, if your selling a lawn mower, write
it as one word (”Lawnmower”) and two words (”Lawn Mower”).
After ensuring your listing is found in the search results, go to eBay and do some
searches using these terms and see what listings are returned. Look at the auction
titles and note the ones that draw your attention and start your mouse finger
twitching. Search closed listing and see which titles drew high prices in the past.
Likely, the titles that are the most appealing and effective also communicate the
merits of the product. Let your title sell the potential bidder on the honest benefits
of your particular listing loudly and clearly. If your auction has an incredibly low
opening bid with no reserve price or free shipping, ensure you annotate the fact in
your title. Some commonly used auction title acronyms are listed below.
Here are some compelling words to tout the merits of your particular
product:
powerful, admirable, impressive, success, breakthrough, announcing, secrets,
dazzling, prosper, in-depth, ingenious, succeed, incredible, overwhelming, imagine,
acclaim
Here are some commonly used auction title acronyms and abbreviations:
FS - “Factory Sealed”
GU - “Gently Used.”
GW - “Gently Worn.”
MWT - “Mint With Tags.”
NIB - “New In Box.”
NR - “No Reserve” price.
S/H - “Shipping and Handling”
Remember, your auction title is the key to getting found by bidders and enticing
them to click on your listing. Finding and clicking are key events that must occur
BEFORE you get any bids. So spend some time to consider what you include in
those 55 spaces before you list your next auction.
Keep in mind that the auctions that usually appear first are the ones ending
soonest. If not, then the ones ending soonest are what buyers search for the most
since they don't want to wait 7 days until the auction is over to win the item. That
is why listing items as a 1-day auction can be very profitable for very popular items
or informational guides. It creates a lot of hype and also buyers get a feeling that if
they don't buy now then they will lose out on their chance.
Even if you will be selling to one niche market, you should still have at least 2 Ebay
IDs. The reason for this is that customers like buying from several Ebay IDs in
order to build their feedback or just because they like to; they might not be so
willing to buy a similar product from the same store. With multiple IDs the
customer might buy from me several items without knowing that it's from the same
person.
Now remember, you will need to have good feedback scores for all you IDs, but with
the tactic we showed you before of the 1 penny auctions, that should not be a
problem.
One way of getting on the Pulse is by emailing another Ebayer that you will watch
their item if they watch yours. This is simple but may be time consuming.
However, it is very worth it. You can also try to get listed on sites such as
www.WooHooMysteryMan.com , www.Weirdauctions.com, and
www.WhoWouldBuyThat.com. These are high ranking sites that can get you a
lot of popularity.
The best way of getting watchers for your listing is by posting up very flashy images
on your listing and having a “CLICK HERE” button on it with the URL of your “Watch
this Item Link” copied on it. For example, I can have a link on a picture or flashy
button which says “CLICK HERE TO SEE THE CRAZIEST VIDEO” and really all it is is
a link to the “watch this item” URL and not a video. There are rumors that this is
against Ebay policies to trick someone into watching your listing. However, the link
may still say something like “CLICK HERE TO WATCH” which is 100% okay to do.
Don't forget, you can also Email your friends to watch your item listings and you can
also advertise on the Ebay Discussion Boards and Forums.
FIND A CUSTOMER
Recently Ebay added a new feature which helps you find customers for specific
products. This is called the WANT IT NOW section of Ebay. You can search for
what people are looking for and then see if your supplier has that product. If they
do have the product the customer is looking for (p.s. which the list I will give you
will have the products people are looking for at least 50% of the time), then just tell
them you have it and there you go. You just made an easy sale! You didn't even
need to wait for customers to find you. You went and found them. You can easily
make at least 10 sales a day in the Want It Now section and boost your sales by at
least $1,000 per month. Take advantage of this method!
The attractiveness of the auction is also very important. One way of adding color
and nice backgrounds is by knowing HTML. This is a good option for those who
know how to program HTML. If you want to learn how to use HTML for Ebay then
read the following article by clicking here.
Another place you can go to easily create stunning Ebay listings and templates for

My wife recently (5 months ago) found a supplier for GSM cellphones. My wife got
so many contacts from her Ebay customers, that she now became a supplier herself
and is now selling cell phones outside of Ebay as well. (She is also in the middle of
creating a cell phone website in order to integrate it with her Ebay business.)
My point is not to boast. My point is to stress that anyone can do what we have
done. We set our own hours. We do not have a boos to attend to. We get to watch
our kids grow. We make a lot of money. What can be better than that.
WHOLESALERS
#1 RULE = You will not find REAL SUPPLIERS IN THE INTERNET SEARCH ENGINES.
REAL SUPPLIERS DO NOT ADVERTISE ON THE INTERNET.
Therfore, you must really serach for them on your own like I have done or you can
look for middlemen wholesalers on the internet which I have done for you already.
(Note: the profit you will make using the online wholesalers and dropshippers is
much less than if you bought directly from suppliers. You will find all this
information as you read on.)
You can find thousands of wholesalers throughout the world and buy from them in
bulk and sell the items for a profit on Ebay. The problem with this is that you need
to have start-up money and you need a place to keep inventory. Also, you might
end up with extra items that did not sell. Another pitfall with just plain old
wholesaling is that you end up paying for shipping to get the items and then pay
shipping again to get it to your customers. Even though we don't recommend using
just a wholesaler due to those reasons and to the fact that you have to spend time
packaging the items, etc., we will show you where to find the best wholesalers on
the planet.
Let's discuss a little bit the pros and cons of dropshipping. As you will see at the
dropship websites I will list below, most of them charge a fee which ranges between
$1 per item shipped - $29 monthly subscription. Right away this will probably turn
you away from dropshipping and that may be one of the biggest mistakes you
can make! The reason these dropshippers charge a fee because if they didn't then
all your customers from Ebay or other places will just buy from them. In other
words, you are gaining access to wholesale products which you don't need to buy in
bulk. All the department stores would go out of business. The fee is to turn away
the buyers who will not be reselling these items for retail prices.
Also, the extra fee is very well worth it when you consider how much time you are
saving, which in turn means you are saving money. You are saving the hassle of
packaging the items and going to the post office. Best of all, listing products on
Ebay is very simple with a dropshipper. I will show you some dropshippers that will
list the items for YOU on Ebay with the click of a button. Another option is that you
can copy the dropshipper's product pictures and descriptions and just set your own
price on Ebay.
Now let's calculate how much time and energy you save:
When I used to buy wholesale items in bulk and keep an inventory, I had to
list each item one by one. It took me about 10 – 15 minutes to list each item with a
good item description, title, keywords, and pictures. Therefore, in one hour I was
able to list about 5 or 6 items.
However, when I found this new method called dropshipping, where they allow
you to use their item descriptions and pictures, all I did was cut and paste and i was
done. It takes me now about 1 minute to list an item. That means that in one hour
I can list 60 ITEMS! This boosted my Ebay business by a lot since now I have over
I was in seventh heaven when I found 2 dropshippers that will list items for you in a
click of a button. I am now able to list 2-4 items per minute. That's about 120-
240 products per hour that I can list on Ebay.
Brief Summary for Dropshipping: You list the items of your choice on Ebay which
are listed in your dropshipper's website. When a customer makes an order and you
get paid, you now pay the dropshipper, give them your customer's address and
you're done. Now you just keep what's left of the profit. Below is a list of
wholesalers and wholesale dropshippers which we recommend HIGHLY.
My wife and I personally make thousands of dollars per month on Ebay by using
dropshippers that have thousands of items.
We highly recommend you try the Doba free trial for 7 days and see their awesome
products. they are the easiest to use and have great tools and resources as well to
help your Ebay business.

It's a lot easier than it may sound. I will show you the best affiliate sites to join and
how to promote the products in the most effective way that will convert your visitors
into buying customers.
First you should sign up to an affiliate website. There are many of them. Almost
every business website today has an affiliate program. You can usually find the link
to join their affiliate program at the bottom of their web page. If you are interested
in promoting their product(s) then you have to sign up and get approved. This can
be time consuming if you are looking to promote products from different websites.
Therefore, the best thing to do is to join an affiliate website where you only sign up
once and there are thousands of products to choose from and all you have to do is
change the name in your link to that of the product you want to sell without having
to sign up to each website individually.
Here are the affiliate websites with the best products and easy to use features.
They usually pay twice per month.
● Clickbank – Mostly informational products and digital products.
● Commission Junction – Physical products including electronics, credit cards,
and even an affiliate program for Ebay.
● Paydotcom – Excellent affiliate site integrated with your Paypal account and
has many informational products as well.
Remember, all you need to do is sign up to the affiliate site(s), follow the
instructions on how to get your affiliate link, choose a product, add your link name
or number, and promote the product with your link in it.
Banner links are less effective than text links. Statistics show that 80% of a website
should be informational content and only 20% should be sales content. A visitor is
more likely to purchase a product you are promoting after reading what you wrote
about it, than if the visitor would just click on a banner on your webpage. This is a
proven fact; so don't get carried away with placing tons of banner ads on your
website. Your visitor will just get the feeling that you are trying to sell them out
and that you don't care at all about the product you are promoting; if you don't care
about the product then why should they!
● Write an article or ezine – There are several top websites where you can
just write an article or a review of a product or subject, and then you just
suggest the product with your affiliate link in it. It is very simple and will take
you only minutes to do. Plus, there are thousands of people who will see your
article on the Internet and may even post your article on their websites as
informational content. Don't be sacred about writing. You don't need to be an
expert. You just need to be honest about what you are writing and be
Be careful to read the site policies on each one. Some will not let you place
affiliate links at all, some will only let you place it once. While some will let
you place as many links as you want as long as you write information which is
original, tasteful, and not repetitive or copied from somewhere else.
This technique of advertising is also great for your own product or website.
That will be discussed later.
CLICK HERE to see an article I wrote about a year ago. It helped me make
about $3,500 in the first 5 weeks after I wrote it. You must understand that
these article websites are high ranking sites and are seen very often on the
Internet As long as you optimize the article correctly with the right keywords
and phrases, you will get hundreds of viewers per day. Another key is to keep
on writing! If you would spend about one hour everyday and write
approximately 6-10 articles or review about a topic or product and add you
affiliate link in the article, you can have hundreds of articles up at the end of
the month. You can be rest assured that the month afterwards you will just
Later on when we talk about Search Engines and how they work we will
mention how it takes some time ( even a couple of weeks) to get some sites
listed in the search engines. However, when writing an article on these article
sites, they get “important” status on the search engines since they have very
high ranking and thousands of quality backlinks. Therefore, your article can
appear on the search engines for the keywords in your article within a day or
two.
You can find more article sites online by just doing a search for them.
However, the ones that I listed above are the best ones to post to.
If you don't have the time to write articles in all these sites, then you can
write just a few and have them sent to a few hundred article sites in one shot.
I only recommend this program if you don't have the time at all. It costs $47
and will save you a lot of time by submitting your article to 163 article sites.
CLICK HERE if you are interested in the program. I started using it when my
Internet business grew tremendously and I had no more time to post my
articles in every article site.
At a forum people discuss issues that they have and are searching for advice
and expertise. All you have to do is tell them that you a product or service
that will help them. 90% of the recommendations that I have made in a
forum ended up in a sale. Some forums will not allow you to place an affiliate
link on your post or reply. In that case, you just tell the person to email you
or Instant Message you and you will give them the link then.
If you are trying to promote your own site then it is good to have a Signature
link which pretty much every forum gives you the option of having. It is highly
recommended you have your own unique signature which has something to do
with your website. This helps build recognition in the long run.
Note: You can do a search on the web for more forums that pertain to the
specific niche you are trying to sell your product to. For example: If I want to
sell an affiliate product I found in Clickbank, let's say an SEO Program. I go to
Clickbank, choose a product, and get my affiliate link.
● Ezine Advertising
Advertising on Ezines is one of the most successful ways of targeting your
product to the people who are looking for it. Also known as a newsletter, an
Ezine is an electronic magazine which is delivered to people who ask for it
(subscribers) via email, blogs, or on web pages. The reason Ezines work so
well is because they are delivered to a very targeted group of readers.
Now, wouldn't it be great to have your ad on the front of one of these Ezines
which will be seen by hundreds and thousands of targeted readers!
Well, the way to find the right Ezine for your product and niche is by simply
doing a search for it on the Internet Many websites provide Ezine
subscriptions for their visitors and they offer advertisement opportunities on
their Ezines.
To save the hassle of searching for Ezines to advertise on, I highly recommend
the following program. It is called the Directory of Ezines and it costs $147.
If you choose to advertise on Ezines and if you can afford it, then this is the
program to buy. It helps you find the perfect Ezines to advertsie on for your
product.
● PPC Advertising
PPC (Pay-Per-Click) Advertising is a method of advertising that will cost you
some money but with the tactics in this book you can make over $100 per
every dollar you spend. PPC is an advertising technique used on websites,
search engines, and advertising networks.
When you do a search on the web, whether on Google, Yahoo, MSN, and other
search engines, you will find that there are Sponsored Links on top and on the right.
For example, if I do a search for the phrase “Online Casino” on www.Google.com I
will see Sponsored links on the top and to the right of the search results.
The way it works is that you open an account with Google, for example (there are
many PPC ad programs and I will list which ones to join soon), and you write up an
ad that fits with the guidelines of the program. Then you set a bidding price of how
much you are willing to pay for every time someone clicks on your ad. Now, if you
are a Newbie you may get carried away and start bidding high to get a top
placement and you will set your daily budget high and choose all the keywords you
The following you should join if you want to increase your earnings and spread
on the Internet:
● FindIt-Quick
● LookSmart
● Kanoodle
● 7Search
● GoClick
● Search123
● EnHance
● Also find more PPC programs at www.payperclicksearchengines.com.
Google is by far the most popular search engine on the Internet 80% of
content and sites on the Internet are found through Google's Search Engine.
Therefore, the PPC advertising costs are more expensive since there are many
competitors competing for the top Sponsored Link Ads.
But don't worry. There is a way to bypass the competition and still beat them.
We will discuss now how to write your ads effectively where your conversion rates
will be very high. That means that your ads won't just be clicked by anybody. You
want only prospective customers to click on your ads (...remember, each click costs
you money).
(1) If you are a beginnner with PPC advertising then I would start off with
setting a budget of $5 per day.
(2) For your ad you should set the bid at $.05. That's right! Don't bid higher
than 5 cents. You may be thinking that your ad won't be seen at all since
you are such a low bidder. This may be true on most of the PPC programs
such as Yahoo. However, Google Adwords gives priority to those ads that
have the highest Click-Through Ratio (CTR). All that means is that your ad
has a high ratio of clicks to the page impressions of the ads. If my ad
appears 100 times and is clicked on 80 times then that is an 80% CTR and is
extremely high. That is a good sign. Our goal is to bid low and get high a
Click-Through ratio.
(3) Let's work together now and write up an ad with Google Adwords. Open
your Adwords account and click on the “keyword targeted” link in the Create
b. Some marketing “GURUS” will suggest for you to write really eye-
catching ads since that will attract attention and people will click on the ad.
This is true...IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF MONEY TO THROW AWAY! The
problem with writing ads like “Spyware Sucks and You should get Kill It
Now” is that you will get many clicks from customers who are just clicking
because your ad was funny or enticing. This will cost you money. Because
of this issue, I suggest to write the cost of the program if possible just like
in the ad we made. By stating that the product will cost $39.95 you are
guaranteed to get clicks only from people who are serious about purchasing
Spyware removal software. Your conversion rate will be much higher and
so will your CTR.
(7) Now we are up to the next step of the Google Adwords campaign. The
next page we must choose the keywords we want to target. You can also
target specific phrases by putting it in brackets. For example: [spyware
removal software] is a keyword phrase which, when typed exactly that way,
my ad will come up if I put it in brackets. If I don't put the brackets, so even
if someone types the word “removal” as their search then I might get an
unnecessary click. You can read more about this by clicking here.
You will also notice that Google Adwords already makes suggestions for you of
keywords to use. My suggestion is as follows: If you are willing to put up
some many and get many clicks, then go ahead and ad all the suggestions
that Google gives you for keywords. However, I prefer researching my
keywords and seeing how many times they are searched. You will find that
most people do searches with very broad keywords. It's almost guaranteed
that any clicks they make, if any, will not end up in a sale. When one does a
search on the Internet, they will find what they want or need only if they are
specific in the keywords they type into the search engine. Therefore, I do
research on SPECIFIC keyword phrases that are directly related to the product
I am promoting.
Click here and you will see results I got for the search I did for “spyware
Writing a blog is so easy that it is a shame some people don't take advantage of
this. It is literally a free website with decent templates and great potential for
money-making success.
A blog is just a site where you can jot down your ideas, opinions, reviews of
products, or just plain information. Pretty much Anything! This opens up a great
venue for an affiliate marketer. I personally make lots of money with a couple of
blogs I created and which I update about once a week. I spend no more than 2
hours per week on my blogs. You can make lots of money within a few days. Let's
see how.
First, you would need to sign up at a blog site. Here are the top 3 blog sites to use
and I will tell you why to use one or all of these 3.
www.Blogger.com
www.Wordpress.com
www.Technorati.com
The best one to use is Blogger since it is one of the highest ranking sites on the
Internet and it is run by none other than, of course, Google. The advantage of
Blogger is that it is constantly being spidered by the search engines, which means
that any changes you make to your blog will be quickly detected by the search
engines. The higher a site ranks then the more the search engines pay attention to
it. However, the other two blog sites are good as well and have very nice templates
and rank high as well.
Blogs can be fun if you will write about things that interest you. Think about
anything that interests you and then find products or services which you can be an
affiliate for that pertains to your blog. You can put links or reviews of your affiliate
products and make money easily.
In the chapter about creating a website we will discuss how to optimize your
website or blog so that it will rank high for search engines. We will also discuss
about where to find content for your blog if you are not someone who likes to type
or write much.
CREATING A WEBSITE
Do I need my Own Website?
The answer is Yes and you don't need to spend a dime on it!
Let me explain.
Most people think that you must pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars in
Blogger.com is the best one to use since it is one of the highest ranking websites on
the Internet. That means that it gets indexed by the Search Engines very often.
That, in turn, means that whenever you update your blog you can be rest assured
that the changes will be seen in the search engines by anyone who searches for
your topics. Search Engine rankings will be discussed in a later chapter.
I personally use all three blog sites in order to promote the same product. All
one needs to do in order to succeed with blogging is to update it with interesting
information daily (I'll show you where to get content later) and make money in
several ways that I will discuss in the chapter labeled “Creating Money-Making
Websites.”
In short, you don't need to pay for an expensive website, and you don't have
to have a blog at all if you don't want. I highly recommend you do promote some
sort of product (we'll see later which ones and how) in order to keep with the
multiple streams of income method. But be my guest if you want to just use the
other methods of making money that I will teach you.
Overview
This is a very important chapter so first we must understand a couple of
fundamental ideas about websites and how you can profit from them easily.
Whether your business strategy is to sell your own physical products, promote
affiliated products (where you get commission), sell a service, or just give out
information, you will need a website so that people can have access to those
products and services. We already discussed selling products and information on
If you are more experienced with website creating the you can create your own
website from scratch using the following programs. You will need some knowledge
of HTML programming to create these websites. Also, it will cost you some money
to get these programs:
DreamWeaver

HotDog
www.sausagetools.com
Coffee Cup

Google does not say how much money you make per click, but Google does say that
the amount depends on the type of ads and the type of products.
All you need to do is sign up for Google Adsense which is free, and paste a code
onto your website. Google will post advertisements on your website and you make
money every time someone just CLICKS on an ad. It's so simple to use and you
can choose the types of ads and the feel or design of the ads. To learn how to
strategically place these ads on your website then click here. It would be a loss of
income if you do not place these ads on your website. Please note that Yahoo also
has a Sponsored Link program but Google is a lot easier to use and a lot more
profitable since the bids on Google Adwords are much higher. Even though you
What an easy way to make money. Here are some Adsense tips:
1) Choose an ad style which matches the background of your blog or website.
This way, the visitor will think he is just clicking on a regular link on your site
and not on an advertisement.
2) Place small pictures above the Adsense ads. It is a proven way of attracting
clicks to the Adsense ads. So for my blog I found little Clip-Art images of
cars and I placed them above my Adsense Ads. This can increase your click-
through rate by more than 70%.
You can have your own affiliate website created for you without you having to do a
thing. There are several programs I recommend that will make one for you for a
fee:
XsitePro.com – for $197 you can get your own website for affiliate products or to
sell your own informational products. There is no need to know HTML programming
at all.
SiteBuildIt.com – This site building program is a little expensive but it is the most
popular one used. You don't need to know any HTML and it is very easy to use.
This section is probably the most important part of your website creation. You can
have the most amazing and attractive website, but if it is not optimized for the
search engines then you will never have customers (unless you want to pay
thousands of dollars per month for advertising).
Sites made with Macromedia Flash are harder to optimize because it is difficult for
the spiders to crawl Flash animation sites. Methods are available for optimizing
graphical content, including ALT attributes, and adding a text caption. Even Flash
animations can be optimized by designing the page to include alternative content in
case the visitor cannot read Flash.
To download the Google Toolbar onto your desktop then click here. The Google
Toolbar PageRank measures PageRank from 0 to 10. Many people assume that the
Toolbar PageRank is a proxy value determined through a logarithmic scale. Google
has not disclosed the precise method for determining a Toolbar PageRank value.
Google representatives, such as engineer Matt Cutts, have publicly indicated that
the Toolbar PageRank is republished about once every three months, indicating that
the Toolbar PageRank values are generally unreliable measurements of actual
PageRank value for most periods of the year.
Trade links with high pagerank sites. This process is called reciprocal linking.
When an important site has a link to your site, then your Pagerank increases.
Typically, you can get on top of the search engines within a day or two by just
linking with a website that has a PR of 6 to 10. This is relatively speaking the
hardest part of link building, since it involves you finding a relatively high
ranking site, convincing them to link to your site, and you linking to their site.
The latter is easy, since the Internet allows you to link to other people's sites
without permission.
Sometimes the best candidates will be your direct competitors. You can expect
them to definitely be unwilling to place a link to your site (then again, who
knows), but you must still ask. There will probably be a
[email protected] link to contact them or a page for related links on
their site. When requesting reciprocal linkage, you should provide your site's
URL and description (not too verbose), stating how such a link will benefit their
visitors, and in return, their website profile and/or profitability.
Be polite and subtle and you will be pleasantly surprised at the results. Be
honest on your own side; if you are reciprocal linking with your direct
competitors then don't cheat, place their links on your page.
Exchanging Links
Exchanging links with websites related to yours is a great method of attracting
new traffic. You can find websites to exchange links with by carrying out
searches on the key phrases you've researched. Even if you don't rank No.1
for a phrase, you could always ask the website that does if they could put a
link to your site on one of their pages. You can also do a Link Check
(http://www.marketleap.com/publinkpop/) on your competitor sites and
see who is linking to them, then all you do is email those sites and ask them if
they could link to your site too.

To find pages with high PR, you can just do a search for the keywords you are
optimizing your site for and then link to the sites that show up on top of the
search. These sites will most probably have a high pagerank. Then just
contact them and request a link swap. You can also find which sites are most
relevant to yours and, therefore, worth linking to by going to the SEOChat tool
section. You can see this by clicking here. Just type in a keyword or phrase
and the tool will give you the pagerank of all the relevant sites. You want to
link to the high PR sites.
The easiest and quickest software for link trading is the SEOElite program. I
only recommend it if you want to save time or if you are lazy to do the steps
above. It costs about $150 but it is worthwhile and it is very easy to use.
Check it out for yourself; it has a money-back guarantee if you don't like it.
If you are too lazy to trade links then you can also buy links. I recommend
this only if you really have no time or if you can't afford the SEOElite tool. You
can purchase links to thousands of websites of your choice at the following
sites:
www.linkadage.com
www.text-link-ads.com
www.textlinkbrokers.com
TheLinkGuy.com – membership costs $49. You get thousands of backward
static links to your site.
Remember to only link to sites which are related to the topic of your site.
It goes without saying that you don't want link farms. Google will penalize you
for that. You can also buy links through ads, which are permissible, but still
Give visitors the information they're looking for. Provide high-quality content
on your pages, especially your homepage. This is the single most important
thing to do. If your pages contain useful information, their content will attract
many visitors and entice webmasters to link to your site. In creating a helpful,
information-rich site, write pages that clearly and accurately describe your
topic. Think about the words users would type to find your pages and include
those words on your site.
Without good content, no webmaster will want to link to your site. Create a
useful, information-rich site, and write pages that clearly and accurately
describe your content.
Write articles and include your website URL in the signature. Submit the
articles on the free article sites which we listed earlier (those article sites have
a high PR and will get your site indexed quickly if you include your link in the
article.) Articles relating to the content of your site should be written clearly
and concisely. You should focus on providing information that is relevant to
someone who is interested in getting information on that field.
Not only is the number of links important, also important is the caliber (or
quality) of sites which have links to your site. Your site is given a higher
ranking if the site that links to yours is also a highly ranked site which offers
rich and relevant content. But keep in mind, just linking for the sake of SEO
can lead to a site being penalized by the major search engines. The sites that
link to yours must be related sites. This shows the search engine that you are
not only concerned about ranking, but that you want to provide the online
public more information, and that you are really offering value. This makes the
practice of contracting linking to companies that guarantee you links
dangerous, as you are not aware of their linking methods (perhaps they just
link all comers together) and a mistake could cause you to be banned from a
search engine.
Write blogs. Create blogs on topics related to your site's content and then
provide links to your site. Your blogs should be as creative as possible. Ideally
they should be in ezine form.
With links to other topics which will help the individual looking for content,
your blogs will provide inward links as well as related content. The content
should be related; it does not necessarily have to be the same content.
Blogging is free and ensures that you are not guilty of just building "shadow
sites" which just link back to your site, a technique for which you could be
penalized.
Product Recommendation
To get updated content for your website without doing
any work at all, here is a program that does that for
you through RSS Feeds. It costs $97 and it saves you
all the hassle of looking for content for your site. It is
also very easy to set up.

Choosing the Best Keywords for your Website
Wordtracker is a subscription service. There are no two ways about it, Wordtracker
is by far the best keyword research tool. It may not seem cheap, but it is worth its
weight in gold. You can dig very deeply into your niche area and find hundreds--
even thousands--of potential keywords. It is well worth buying it for a day (which
usually lasts longer than 24 hours if my past experience is anything to go by). It is
possible to do the keyword research for lots of pages in a day--certainly enough to
keep you busy for a month or more.
The best keywords are those words and phrases commonly typed in by
your potential customers, but which aren't used much on your competitors
websites.
In other words, if you optimize your pages for keywords your potential customers
use a lot, but your competitors haven't thought of, you win.
But here's the catch...you'll never get to know which are the best keywords for your
website simply by guessing.
If you attempt to optimize your pages for words and phrases that are just your best
guesses, you are losing potential customers and wasting valuable time.
To make sense of the time and money you spend on search engine optimization,
you need to KNOW that the keywords you use will deliver results.
How Wordtracker identifies the best keywords for your site pages
Through a series of simple steps, Wordtracker shows you which are the
best keywords to use for the pages on your site.
To visit the Wordtracker website a try the program for a week you may click here.
•How many times have you clicked on a link and looked at the URL, and it contained
about 32 extra letters and numbers in it? Google won't spider any URL that looks
like this. Avoid using dynamic URLs.
•Make sure all pages link to at least one other page. Links to pages that don't link
out are called "dangling links". Google founders, Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page,
once wrote about Dangling links: "Dangling links are simply links that point to any
page with no outgoing links. They affect the model because it is not clear where
their weight should be distributed, and there are a large number of them. Often
•It is good to structure the internal links so that targeted keywords are reinforced.
For example, organize the links so that a topic's sub-topic pages link to the topic
page with the right link text, and vice-versa.
Off-page elements
A prominent keyword site that delivers the best possible keywords for your website
says to “enter each keyword and separate them with a comma.” I, on the other
hand, say “DO NOT separate these words with a comma.” There is no need to
separate them because the search engines ignore the commas. The words in the
Keywords tag were never treated as keywords by the search engines; they were
treated as text on the page. I keep hearing that the keyword tag is not as effective
as it used to be, and then I’ll click a link and it says it’s an absolute. My advice to
you is to put plenty of relevant keywords into the tag and include the keyword once
at the front, and a second time further along the line. Do me a favor and do
yourself a favor? Do not repeat a word more than 5 times. If you do, the search
engines will think you are spamming them and they will drop you quick.
The H tag
< Hn >Insert your headings or your titles of your text here< /Hn >
The “H” stands for headings throughout your text and the "n" stands for the text
size from 1 to 6. The smallest is 6 and the biggest heading size is 1. H tags are
given more weight than ordinary text and, the bigger the H size, the more weight it
receives. So include the target keyword in H tags at least once on the page, and two
or three times if possible. Also, place the first H tag as near to the top of the page
as possible.
Bold text
Bold text is given more weight than ordinary text but not as much as H tags. As
much as is reasonable, enclose the keyword in bold tags when it appears on the
page.
Text
The body should be easy to read with a very clean layout. Remember when I visited
the hosting sites, and they have Adwords on the left, and they have the affiliate
products on the right, and their actual text or body is 10 inches below. Let’s cut out
all the extra stuff. Treat your website as an entity. When you do that, buyers will
In your text, use the main keywords as often as you can on the page without
messing with this clean user-friendly layout.. Use the term once or twice very early
in the page's body text and as often as possible throughout. Reword small parts and
even add sentences to make sure that the keyword is well represented in the text.
In all probability, each word in the keyword will be found on the page separate from
the keyword itself. This is good. In fact, if they are not there on their own, add a
few of them through the page.
Alt text img src="url" alt="Type in text that will show up on images on
mouse over"
Alt-text is simple. Blind people have speech synthesizers that read pictures. The
only way the blind person will be able to “hear” the picture is if you included the Alt-
text. This is the text you see on pictures when you mouse over it. Guess what?
Include the keywords in the alt text of all images on the page. Not to mention that
this could definitely help your search engine rankings.
Summary
● Make a list of keywords for your site. Rank the popularity of the keywords
because that’s what your visitor will type in the Search Engines.
● Make sure each page of your website has at least one major keyword and split
some pages if necessary.
● Make sure the links and link text contain your target keywords If possible,
organize links from other sites to suit the target keywords and their pages.
● Organize all the on-page elements to suit each page's target keyword.
● Relax and shoot for number one rankings.
General Things to look out for When Creating your Website (Advanced)
Javascript: You might have the most wonderful JavaScript powered menu in the
world, but search engines don't usually read JavaScript. So make sure your menu is
useable without it.
Images: there is a property for images called 'alternate text'. You see it used like
this: <img src="somefile.gif" alt="some file or other"> Make sure you use it - it's all
the search engine will see of your wonderful graphics, and that makes it important!
Clean code: If your site uses the first 500 lines just setting up your nested tables
and rollover JavaScript effects, the important stuff gets pushed further down the
page. Most search engines appear to stop reading your page after a certain point -
usually a file size limit. If your site is listed, you can click the 'cached' button on
Structured code: Make sure your headings are marked up as headings (using
<h1> etc) not a mix of bold and font tags. Heading tags are ranked as more
important than bold tags, so use them and get your keywords into them. Don't
forget you can use CSS to style the heading tags exactly as you want them, so you
don't lose anything in terms of formatting.
Fancy fonts as images: Many people use images to get fancy fonts into their
headings. If you're one of those people, you can markup your code as follows:
<h1><img src="heading.jpg" alt="HTML Goodies.com - the place to learn
HTML"></h1> (swap the h1 for the level of heading you need)
Title: There is a title tag buried in the head section of your page. Use it and make
sure it's relevant - most search engines will use its content as the title of your
listing.

Product Recommendation
A program came to the market that has been getting good reviews. It is not as
widely used as the programs I have recommended throughout the book, but if you
want to save money in the beginning it is an excellent buy.
The product has 3 parts to it and each can be bought separately. As a package it
costs only $49. For that price you get:
● an RSS Planter program that will submit your RSS Feed to tons of RSS
directories.
● A Blog Planter that will submit your blogs to the top blog directories.
● An Article Planter program that will submit your articles automatically to 58+
article directories in minutes.
Remember, throughout this book I showed the best places to submit your blogs and
articles. I recommend certain products only to save you lots of time. If you have the
time, then do it all yourself.
RSS Feeds
RSS is a family of webfeed formats, specified in XML and used for Web
Syndication. RSS is used by (among other things) news websites, weblogs,
Web feeds provide web content or summaries of web content together with links to
the full versions of the content, and other metadata. RSS, in particular, delivers
this information as an XML file called an RSS feed, webfeed, RSS stream, or RSS
channel. In addition to facilitating syndication, web feeds allow a website's frequent
readers to track updates on the site using an aggregator.
That must have sounded like the biggest load of garbage you ever heard. All it
pretty much means is that people can choose to be updated about changes on your
website or blog and receive those updates without having to check your website all
the time to see if anything changed.
You can publish news feeds on your website easily and instantly. You can improve
your website SEO by providing fresh regularly updated content for your website.
Rss Feeds will help you increase your backlinks from other websites who will
register for your feed contents.
Discussing RSS feeds in detail is beyond the scope of this book. There are many
different ways of going about. I suggest you read up about it more on the Internet
You can create an RSS feed for free at www.rorweb.com.
Stampede Secret is a great program for implementing all the benefits of RSS
feeds into your website and blog without you having to know anything about RSS.
It costs $97 and I recommend it if you want to save time researching and
syndicating your RSS feeds. It will provide you hundreds of extra visitors and it is
simple to use.
● PRWeb.com - A good site for spreading the good word on your company.
This site has been around well over 15 years and is also a popular one for
journalists to hit while scouting out possible news stories. Your news could
● PRLeap.com - This is a free press release distribution service that gets your
press release exposure on a myriad of news sites. Newsbots frequently crawl
prleap.com and so you have a good chance of seeing your news on Google
news and others. PRLeap also has an active RSS feed which gives you
possible coverage with Bloglines, MyYahoo, NewsGator and others.
Post in Forums
Make frequent posts on forums with your website URL linked to your signature. This
is a fullproof way of publicizing your website and products to targeted customers.
Do a search for your niche market and post on forums which are found on nearly
90% of the top websites.
You can also have your own forum for free and easily. Just go to
www.phpBB.com and choose from tons of different forum styles. They have great
service staff and it is rather simple to set up.
Create a SiteMap
Sitemaps have become a very important tool for helping the search engine spiders
read your site better and faster. A site map (or sitemap) is a web page that lists
the pages on a web site site, typically organized in hierarchical fashion. This helps
visitors, and search engine bots, to find pages on the site.
Site maps can improve search engine optimization of a site by making sure that all
the pages can be found. This is especially important if a site uses Macromedia Flash
or JavaScript menus that do not include HTML links. You can create sitemaps for
free and easily in a few places:
● XML-Sitemaps
● Sitemapspal
● phpSitemapNG
● GoogleSitemaps - Once you create your sitemap, then just submit it to
Google by following the steps on the Google Sitemap page
Because use of the Internet is gradually increasing every year, Ebooks have become
very popular. They are easy to download and you get it right away. Also,
information is the #1 best-seller on the Internet.
There are many more things you can make an Ebook for, but I will focus mainly on
the above uses.
● Virtuapack - Create a cover for your Ebook and make it look professional.
This can increase your Ebook sales by over 300%. It gives the customer a
notion that you are a professional who wrote this Ebook and that buying it is
really worth the money.

informational products. For only

● Ebook Starter – This is exactly what you need for writing a nice Ebook with
choices of 50 templates. It is an Ebook Editor. You have options of copy-
protecting your Ebook, a choice of fonts, templates, images, and more. You

with no hassle. In short, this program, which costs $97 (one-time fee), has it
all. I recommend this program if you want to create a very professional Ebook
and and affiliate program.
Viral Marketing
If you give out your Ebook for free and include giveaway rights to anyone who
wants, then you can venture on a viral marketing campaign that can make you lots
and lots of money.
If I give my book to 10 people, and they give it to 10 people, and they all give it to
10 people, then I just had my book read by 1,110 people with hardly any work
involved. The way I make money is by leading these people to my website or by
leading them to buy products which I am affiliated with.
Once you finish writing your Ebook, then you want to let the world know about it.
Here are a bunch of places you should submit you Ebook to and get free
advertising:
You will notice that most of these sites are very high ranking sites. You may need
to search a bit to find the “submit free software” section on some of these sites.
You can also sell your E-book or software on Ebay. I used my E-books in several
ways on Ebay. At times I sold them in order to make money and, therefore, I
priced the E-book at $9.95. I also sold the E-book at times for only $.99 cents so
that I will get a lot of purchases and get tons of positive feedback. When I sold it at
that price I made approximately 40 sales per day for each E-book I wrote, and at
the end of the month I had a very high positive feedback. This is a great idea for
building credibility on Ebay.
To sell your E-book on your own website, then I recommend using Clickbank or
Paypal for the ordering process. They are the most secure and reliable merchant
tool for informational products.
For selling your Ebook with Paypal, there is a great affiliate program that helps you
do it. It is called PayDotCom. It is very easy to use and the support is amazing.
Mike Filsaime, the founder of the program is one of the most successful Internet

However, I will show you some investment programs that I have invested in and
have been very legit and pay me daily into my E-gold account. But first I would like
to explain what E-gold is and why you need it in order to invest in HYIP's.
E-gold
E-gold is an electronic currency, issued by e-gold Ltd., a Nevis corporation, 100%
backed at all times by gold bullion in allocated storage.
Other e-metals are also issued: e-silver is 100% backed by silver, e-platinum is
100% backed by platinum, and e-palladium is 100% backed by palladium. However,
the most popular e-metal (by an overwhelming margin) is E-gold.
E-gold is integrated into an account based payment system that empowers people
to use gold as money. Specifically, the e-gold payment system enables people to
Spend specified weights of gold to other E-gold accounts. Only the ownership
changes - the gold in the treasury grade vault stays.
With the introduction of Internet / online banking, debit cards, online bill payments
and Internet business, paper money is becoming less frequent , whereas electronic
money,such as e-gold, is becoming part of world’s financial system.
E-gold is the easiest and the most effective system of international electronic
settlements. It is optimal for participation in high yield investment programs as it
makes it possible to get the earned money instantly.
Majority of high HYIP's, High Yield Investment Programs, are using e-gold to accept
funds form an investor. To participate in HYIPs, you need to have an e-gold account.
It is free to create an e-gold account. Go to the E-gold new account creation page:
www.e-gold.com
A. Select your Account Name. Optionally, you may make a Description and
Additional Description.
Be careful: for additional security, the passphrase shall contain letters and
numbers; it is also recommended to use at least 10 characters long. It is
important to fill your passphrase using SRK.
D. Then you indicate a password to use the E-gold directly (New e-gold
Account Passphrase). The rules applicable to Alternate Passphrase are as
well applicable to the account passphrase. Then you need to repeat the
new e-gold Account Passphrase once again to avoid misspellings.
Step 3. Check your e-mail inbox for the E-gold Account Number.
E-gold does not not accept any currency to fund its clients accounts . It is currently
using digital gold currency exchangers to buy or sell egold . Through digital currency
exchangers , currencies can be easily converted to e-metal and fund e-gold account.
Transactions with digital currency exchangers is usually carried out by wire transfer,
credit card, postal transfer, Western Union or check. It is important to use best and
reliable e-currency exchangers to buy e-gold and fund you accounts.
● Goldex - one of the most popular and reliable exchangers on the Internet You
● IceGold – very good exchanger but only allows wire transfers. No credit
cards.
● London Gold Exchange – allows bank wires and domestic bank transfers.
No credit cards.
● *** Legisi *** – This is the only REAL HYIP that is out there. It has been
around. You can Contact the owner of Legisi Holdings, LLC., Michael Wolbach
at 503-614-8221 or 810-230-3205 or at his email [email protected] .
Legisi offers am amazing 10% return on investment and it is guaranteed and it's a
4-month investment with compunding options. Here is an account that my wife just
opened up in February. (I would show you mine, but I do not want you to know how
much I have invested in it.)

● There are many scammers out there that will take your deposit and run away.
Therefore, make sure the HYIP investor or program has valid contact
information. Test it out by sending them an email and see if they respond.
● NEVER invest more than you can afford to lose. There is some risk involved
with HYIP's.
● Some of the HYIP scammers pay for the first 60 – 90 days and then run away
with any of the new investments. Surprisingly, you can make good money off
them as well. How?!?!? Most HYIP's show the date when they first started
investing. If that date is less than 30 days, then invest for one day and then
pull out your money the next. 99% of the HYIP's will pay on time for the first
60 – 90 days in order to build good credit.
HYIP's should not scare you even if they seem quite risky. The ones I listed above
have been proven to be legit and have great customer support.
For those that would like to become traders themselves, then that is also a great
source of income and I highly recommend it if you are willing to put in the time to
learn Forex Trading. Forex trading and HYIP's have become billion dollar industries
and there is room for anyone to cash in on the opportunities the trading market hold
for making money.
I recommend the following books for those who wish to learn Forex trading or want
Riding the Ponzi – for $14.95 you will learn how to invest well in the HYIP
business and avoid all the risks involved.
Treasure Trooper – This is one of the greatest websites I ever came upon. All you
need to do is try any product of your choice and they will pay you for trying them.
There are over 200 products or services you can try. You take their trial (some
require a small payment), but then you can cancel during the trial so as not to incur
any membership fees. Treasure Trooper will pay you money for trying a product.
You can get paid up to $160 for trying a service.
If you have the time right now, you can go to Treasure Trooper, sign up to try all
the products, and you'll get over $2,000 deposited into your Paypal account within
the next 3 days. It takes Treasure Trooper approximately 3 days to confirm that
you actually took the trial.
For example: I paid $3.95 to get an online IQ of myself (p.s. The results were not
what I expected ) and Treasure Trooper paid me $7. They are able to do this
since they get paid a lead commission from over 200 programs.
Paid Surveys
Getting paid to take surveys has become a growing online business. I recommend
joining a survey program as a side income for extra spending cash.
Surveys just take a few minutes to fill out and some of them will pay up anywhere
from $1 - $150 to take a survey. There are some survey sites that won't pay
money, but will rather give you points which you can later redeem for merchandise
or a ticket to a lottery drawing to win money.

Mystery Shopper
As a mystery shopper, you will play a very important role by helping businesses
establish and maintain the high customer service standards they need to remain
competitive. You will help the businesses by providing valuable information from a
customer's perspective.
Was the store attractive and well kept? Were the sales people friendly? Were all
items in stock? If the business was a restaurant, was the food good? What about
the service? Department stores, restaurants, specialty shops, clothing stores: the
list is unending. However, they all need the same thing: to know what customers
really think about their shopping experiences.
The businesses will gladly pay for this information because it is so valuable to them.
This is where YOU come in. Imagine getting paid to go shopping! Using the store's
own money to shop with! You even get to keep the merchandise you buy at times!
You can, as a mystery shopper.
Here are a few mystery shopping websites that will get notify you of companies
needing mystery shoppers in your area:
DollarFrog.com
ShopUntilYouDrop.net
ShoppingJobsHere.com
ShoppingJobs.net
GetPaid2.com
MySpace.com
Everyone by now has heard of Myspace.com. It's where people set up
pages to talk about themselves, their hobbies, networking, advertising,
making friends, and just having a good time.
Well, there are those that make money directly through MySpace. There are
forums and boards on Myspace where you can advertise yourself, your
website, your products, your affiliate links, and even your Ebay Products.
The key with Myspace success is to have a lot of friends who join your
bulletin, and you send them all a bulletin once in a while with a newsletter
or promotion of some sort. This is very similar to email marketing when
people sign up to receive emails from you.
How do you gather friends. The slow way is by actually inviting as many
people as you can and hope thay accept your add, which most will do. But
this is very time-consuming and it is a hard process to find the people that
would be interested in what you or your products are about.
CraigsList.com
This is one of my favorite sites on the Internet. Free advertising of almost
anything you want, websites, products, used furniture, job listings,
So how can money (and I mean BIG money) be made through Craigslist?
For starters, if you have products that you want to sell, whetjer retail or
wholesale, you will find prospects in your city who are interested.
If you have a website, you can advertise it on Craigslit and it may even help
your site rank higher on the search engines.
(I know you are thinking: “Hey big talker, so why didn't you just make this
really long book into videos...that would have been more interesting.”
“The man who follows the crowd will usually get no further
than the crowd. The man who walks alone is likely to find
himself in places no one has ever been.”
