Guess how I made money - Brainfood inside, no spoonfeeding.

Freecycle where some people give away free stuff and others fight for it. Keep an eye on the number of members in each group.

I created a Yahoo account and started joining these groups such as here. Have a look at the bottom of the page:

Group Email Addresses

List owner: freecyclenewyorkcity-owner@yahoogroups.com

For every group I collected a list of "Post message" email addresses separated by comas, like so: address1, address2, addres3 etc.

Two days and one email later my affiliate accounts were showing money.


How did I do it?

How Would You Make Money Without Gurus?

How Would You Make Money Without Gurus?

And forums, masterminds, mentors, membership sites etc.?

I was having an emofest this morning because it seems like this internet marketing schtick just gets harder and harder and none of my content lately is making any kind of cash. Part of this is because I turned my biggest money maker- an adsense site- inside out to try and turn it into an ecommerce solution, but I can't wrap my head around dropshipping yet so it's become a huge work-in-progress with no Adsense earnings until the subdomain I moved the blog to starts getting rankings. But enough about all that, point is that my emofest led me to start wondering what other methods I could explore.

I then realized that since I started learning about making money online I've dipped into just about every method there is- PPC, email marketing, social networking, MLMs, PPV, PTC, bum marketing, CPA and a whole slew of other stuff. The two things I've never really touched are ewhoring and autoblogging, but just about everything else I've dipped my fingers into. Trying to find a new method prompted me to rip open my hard drive (figuratively speaking, of course) and tear through all the EBOOKS I've downloaded over the course of about a year and a half (I started back in August '09). 

I was pretty disappointed, in a way, with the fact that I hadn't forgotten the magic pill- it just wasn't working for me (not to the level it supposedly should be, anyway). But the more I read and the more I relearned, the more I started to think about all the stuff I'd done just because the gurus, or forum fellas from forums like a certain (very awesome) one with "blackhat" in its title instructed me to. Don't get me wrong, I'd learned long ago that you should ALWAYS test things yourself, and that DOUBT is your best friend in this industry, but one thing I didn't realize was how monumentally blessed- or cursed- with information I was. 

There's so much stuff that we all learned probably in much the same fashion- starting with "make money online" or "make money blogging" or the occasional guy who actually knows what affiliate marketing is and searches that. Then we start learning you need to make a website, get traffic, the methods to get traffic, and yadda yadda yadda. Sometimes you'll see twists to methods and, rarely, you'll see new methods completely (most of the time based off of new up and coming websites, though, so the method itself takes backstage to learning about the new reservoir for traffic). But the point is that probably everybody out there learned from a resource which probably gave them very specific plans and instruction. Regardless of whether they worked, the theory behind most stuff selling is solid, I'm sure everyone will agree. I hear of people that starting learning to make money online as far back as 1999 were still learning from others in the space before them. 

But what if they hadn't had that resource, or anything else to turn to? 

Without rambling on too much longer, let me just jump straight to the point. Imagine you were just now starting to become interested in Internet marketing or making money online. You go to the Internet for information, but there's nothing on it, aside from resources included in advertising programs, affiliate programs etc. For example, you have access to the Google Adwords Help Center info, but not to Perry Marshall's EBOOK (or whoever else's). 

Knowing nothing about how websites are ranked or how to manipulate these rankings. Being clueless as to how to start (or evenwhy you need TO START) email lists. Not getting any info on what keywords are or determining what the best ones to build sites around are.

How would you make money? 

P.S.: When I talk about "make money" I don't mean going to sell on eBay or write articles etc. I mean assuming you wanted to start an online business as similar as possible to the one you have now. If you've got an eBay empire... Go to another thread. For everyone else, try and be as realistic as possible- you could probably build thousands of sites and trial and error your way to learning about search engines like the pioneers probably did, but would you really? And I know there are some resources like Matt Cutts' blog (I think that's his name) that are official and talk about SEO and give concrete, if vague, info on how to rank, but pretend those don't exist either or that they're even more vague than now.

[GET] Business Idea #2

[GET] Business Idea #2

Here's a well-established principle of business; people like things that are free. Very few people will turn down something free, especially if it's something that you promise will enrich their lives. Now, let's take that a step further. Let's find a demographic who is, as a whole, looking to enrich their lives; a demographic composed almost entirely of people trying to have a better life, a better time. That's right, I'm looking at you, college kids. Now consider the fact that college is a new experience for most people, and college students are usually far more willing to open their mind to new things than other demographics (at least, that's what porn has taught me ). 

As we know, all of this combines to make college the perfect place to market various mind- and body-altering products. So, let's take all our information (college kids like stuff that gets them high, and they like free stuff) and combine it into one principle: college kids LOVE free stuff that gets them high.

But how does this make us money? Simple; it's only free at first. You give a college kid a few grams of good weed for free, you have a customer for at least a few months, usually a few years, sometimes for life. Now that's business.

So here's the big idea. Invest in a quarter-pound of "herbal incense", offer some free samples around a college campus (worked great for me at my local community college) and you're in business.


This is nothing new in the marketing world, we see free samples and coupons everywhere. But hopefully this post has enlightened at least one of you on just how applicable the basic principles of marketing are. Good luck, Green Hatters 

Make money Selling T-Shirts with FB PPC Ads

Make money Selling T-Shirts with FB PPC Ads

I've found this somewhere on Warrior Forum so this isn't my idea, method just need to be scaled up, I've already seen some people selling tshirts using fb PPC ads.. I think tshirts can be promoted on pinterest too for female users.. Please share your experience here and we can try to find new ways to make some money out of these ideas, thank you 


"For me personally, selling Tshirts on Teespring is the best way to go about MAKING MONEY online.

You can design your own Tshirts around a specific niche and then sell them to people who are passionate about that niche (For ex: fishing, sports etc ..)

Facebook PPC is a really good way to sell Tshirts and I almost always make a profit when advertising my shirts on facebook.

Also, you can pretty much outsource everything if you want ... from designing the Tshirt to selling it.

Just hire a couple of people and let them do the hard-work while you count the profits.

Hope that helps 

This is how I personally run my business and I'm making good income with it."

This Method Made Me Nearly $1000 In 5 Days - 100% TESTED AND PROVEN! No More Excuses!

This Method Made Me Nearly $1000 In 5 Days - 100% TESTED AND PROVEN! No More Excuses!

Many of you may have followed me on my case study journey of implementing methods shared on this very forum. You may view the case study by clicking here. 

One of the main methods was Fiverr Reselling. For those of you who did not see my case study, and is wondering what this method is all about, I have written a detailed guide below. It managed to bring me about $900 of pure profits in 5 days from starting. Without a doubt, on every money making thread there is someone who complains that the method does not work. First, just to clear some points up:

A) This method requires a big start up time, but then results flow in.\
B) This method does not require investment. 
C) This method DOES WORK and it wear 100% PROVEN.
D) I made over $900 with this method. You should be at least able to get one sale at the least! 

1) The point of this method is to basically resell some Fiverr gigs for more than the usual $5. There are hundreds of gigs on fiverr and most of them are complete bullshit and don't help you in any way with your rankings. However, a small percentage of them are definitely a quality gig which can definitely help your rankings, and the best thing? It's just $5. Quality gigs? When I say quality, I do not mean quantity. Don't buy a list that offers 50k links to your money site. This is probably going to hurt your rankings. Instead, choose a gig which gives you 1000 social bookmarks or 2000 unique wiki links. 

2) So that is what you need to do first. Find a good fiverr gig which is definitely worth more than $5. Blogroll links sell well and there are gemstones on fiverr. The other day, I saw a PR 6 blogroll link go up for $5. PR 6 blogrolls can sometimes even break into the 3 digits so they are always valuable. Another one I found was 2000 unique wiki links in 24 hours. This is a good choice as you get to send your buyer the report in a very fast time. This enables you to possible manage more orders without worrying about turnaround time. And 2000 unique wiki links at $5? I've seen services like this sell for as much as $50 on other places. But one thing is sure - it is certainly worth more than $5. Another gig I found was 1000 social bookmarks. These can value anything from $15-40 so that definitely is a quality service. Pick a good gig. Make sure it is worth more than $5. 

3) Find a free website builder. Weebly will do fine although one of my website was deleted the next day. You can pay for hosting/domains if you want. Personally, I kept most of my mine 100% free and investment free. Now add a catchy title, for example, "Exit this page if you do not want to rank Page 1 for your keyword!" or something along those lines. Then below just write a quick few lines on SEO. And then below that explain again in brief your service (the gig you are promoting). Include a few images and just make the whole website simple. So.. for e.g.:

You've come to the right place!

Yes, that's right. You can now rank Page 1 for your term without investing a huge amount of money!

Wait.. what? Read on.

You may have bought many link building packages in the past and wasted $XX-XXX+. But did the service work? Did it help achieve the rankings you desired? Did it help boost your SERPs like they claimed? No? Then you are on the right page.

Read on.

With this cheap package, you are getting 2000 UNIQUE Wiki Links. Why wiki links? Because they have been proven to work. And they work really well. Unlike the other usual bookmarks, article submissions and blog posts - wiki posts have recently been very valuable in the SERPs and many people have seen tremendous results.

And to give this package a little more juice, we have added 10 high PR 1-5 blog commenting. Now you're probably thinking this going to cost you a lot of money? Well think again, 2000 Unique Wiki Links and the blog comments are mostly sold around the Internet for as much as $50. Here you are getting it for $10 ONLY! Hard to believe right? And if that was not enough, we offer you a 48 hour delivery limit. So you get your report WITH ALL LINKS in within 48 hours!

And with Paypal's extra security, you can ensure that this deal is legit and certainly the cheapest online!

Click here to order now and lock yourself in at this cheap price!

There are 2 things which you might be wondering about the information above.

Where was I getting the blog commenting from? Another Fiverr gig? And why did you say 48 hour delivery, when the gig says 24 hour?

Firstly, we need to add value to our current service. This forum has a download section. That download section has THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of valuable downloads. So once you have picked your gig, pick a +1. This can be blog commenting, a few highpr profiles, a few edu backlinks, whatever. This +1 will add value to your package and make your whole package seem a lot better (although it may not be). 

And with the time, things can go wrong sometimes. If the seller fails to deliver in 24 hours on fiverr, you are fucked. So just add on another day or two to be on the safe side of things. 

4) So now you have set up a website, added content, made the website look attractive. Up till now, you may have spent a few hours maybe? Good. Only a few more hours of work and you are ready to go. Now is the hard part. Promoting. I am going to outline a few ways to spread the word of your website. 

A) Scrapebox blasts seemed to work for me. I did a normal 30-50k blast and got over 10k live links. This managed to get me 10% of my traffic. Just point the blast to your money site. (We don't care if the websites get deleted). This isn't a money making scheme on the long run, its a quick short term method. So if your website gets deleted, don't panic. Just get a backup of the website and build another one in minutes. If you buy a domain, buy it from another registrar. So for example, if you created a website with Weebly - then buy a domain with Namecheap. So if your Weebly gets deleted, you can redirect the other domain to the new website you create. 

B) Chat box promotions. One example is xat.com (not my website and I am not affiliated with it). Find some general SEO related chat boxes. So for example, a Wordpress chat, a Money making chat, a Google related chat. Anything which has a small connection with SEO itself. Just go in there and spam your link slowly. To not get banned, just PM your link to every person on the chat. Make your message quick and flashy. For e.g.: "Get ranked in Page 1 FAST - (your link)". 

C) Freelancers. Hire a V/A or freelancer for a daily 4-8 hour job. This can cost anywhere from $10-20+. They will work under your commands for 4 hours. (or more). Give them a list of blogs to spam, a list of chat boxes to spam and so on. Then just monitor them every now and them to see how they are doing. This is for the people who cannot be fucked to do it themselves.

D) Forum promotion. Visit some other SEO related forums. (Do not do this on BHW). Some forums allows you to have signatures straight away with links. If that is the case for you, then go ahead and post your website link along with an one liner in your signature. If you cannot post links, just write, "PM me and I will teach you how to get page 1 ranking FAST". Then just do a few posts on the forum and people should see your signature and PM you. 

Another method (might not work as well) is to make a post on that forum and tell them about your own website as if you are reviewing it. For e.g.: 

"Found out about (your link) recently.

Like you, I thought it was a scam but these are my results.. bla bla bla.."

Make your service seem positive and people may PM you asking for the links. 

5) Once you have done the promotion, just wait. You can use Paypal to take payments on your main website. Paypal should not have an issue with this kind of method but if you want to be on the safe side, then use an alternative like 2Checkout or Plimus and then buy the fiverr gigs separately using your Paypal. 

Let's say you get a sale.

"Jacob Mica Richards has bought PACKAGE 1 for $10."

Put a contact form on your website and let users fill out the details after they pay. You can do this adding a redirection successful URL when creating your Paypal button. 

Then just get your information you got from the buyer, buy the $5 gig - and after 24 hours, deliver it to the buyer. Easy $5 profit. You can, however, price your package much higher. I priced it $10 as that is really low and you are certain to make some good sales. You can make it as high as $50 per sale, but sales may be lower. However, one sale at $50 may be better than 2 or 3 smaller prices sales.

You get the idea.

Once you manage to bank some with this, make more websites. Rinse it up. Repeat. And you should be doing good. On my case study, I spoke to 3-4 people who were making money from this method WHILE I was doing it myself. Those people told me they managed to make in between $50-500. (I won't list the actual amount itself). But this comes to show that you can MAKE MONEY from any good method. The only thing stopping you is your doubts overpowering you and your lack of dedication.

My personal Amazon Tips for You

I specialize in media, but you can apply this to any product.

1. Find an category you want to sell in and start making a note of how much items are selling for, example, if Dark Knight Dvds are selling of an average price of $15. Go to sites such as bestbuy, borders etc and see how much they would be there.

2. You can list an unlimited amount with no upfront fees on amazon, goodbye FeeBay. I would suggest getting a pro account for $40 a month so you can lower your selling fees.

3. You don't have to be the lowest price, I've sold thousand of products on their, I've had over 200,000 products listed before, maybe 100 of them were the lowest price. I've sold tons of products that were on the 3rd and forth page.

Making Money With Email Lists - My 40k/Month Strategy

Making Money With Email Lists - My 40k/Month Strategy

Hey everyone,
I have found a lot of cool things on here and have been using them, but now I would like to give back. I found this method where you create an email list and then use that to market(I'm not the first one to use it but it could be helpful to some people). Basically what you are doing is buying solo ads, sending people to a squeeze page and getting them to opt-in to your auto responder, where you can send them cool products. It might sound complicated, but keep reading and it will get cleared up a bit. First I will just give some definitions.


Squeeze page - This is a webpage that’s entirely dedicated to capturing a visitor’s name and e-mail address. This is what allows direct response marketers to build a list on the Internet … develop a relationship with that list … and then sell products and services to the prospects on that list.

Auto Responder - Automated programs which are established to return a prewritten message upon receipt of e-mail. Program will grab the return address from the “header” of the message. Typically, these programs will send out the canned message within seconds of receipt.

SLO - Self-Liquidating offer. Pretty much means however much you spend on solo ads, you will have this offer on the other end, making almost all if not more of your money back (usually more, but we'll get into this later)

Conversions - People who Opt-in to your email list. Basically the higher the conversion rate, the better your squeeze page is and the more sales that you make. You want to have a high converting squeeze page.

So now that you know the basic terminology, we can get started. I will try to be as thorough as possibly.

The Whole Idea : You want to build the biggest list possible. On average, per month, for every subscriber on your list you would make $1. If you have 100,000 people on your list, and you send out an email promoting a product where you make $50 per sale and only 2% bought it, you would make $100,000. From sending 1 email. Now obviously this is rare, but if you send emails every day, you can easily make $40,000 a month from this method alone. Now to the prices of solo ads. You can buy a click for about $0.35 on average, so say you have 25$ TO START. You can buy about 71 clicks. From those 71 clicks, 28 Opt-in. They are then sent to your SLO and 2 people buy it. You will make all of your money back and more. That's an average 28$ a month just from 1 ad, and you have your money back from the SLO. Now lets say you buy some every week adding 25$ each time, but including the money you previously made. The nest week, you send out 142 ads. 56 Opt-in, and 3 sales. You made the money back plus 58 subscribers. Now you are making around 80$-90$/month. Within just 3 months, you would have about 2,500 people, and thus around 2500$/month. At 6 months, 10,000 opt-ins, 10k a month, and at just 1 year, 40k people and 40k a month. Just remember we are talking about average statistics. So could be more and some could be less; nothing is guaranteed, but it is likely you will have similar results. Some people say the money is in the list, but really the money is in your relationship with the list, so be as nice as possible and build a character that is easy to relate to. Now lets get down to business.

Step 1 : You want to find a good product to promote. Since this doesn't require SEO (Unless you want to get more Opt-ins by using this method with SEO ...) You should choose one with a high gravity. I go to CBengine to find products. Find one with a high gravity and go check it out. If it looks nice and professional, choose it. I recommend going on YouTube and looking for a review and what you will learn when someone buys this. Write down/type a few key points. You will need this for step 2.:
Step 2 : Time to make a squeeze page. I use 90secondsqueezepage.com which is one of Russell Brunsons products. It is completely free to use and it makes unique, high-converting squeeze pages. It basically makes it look nice. What you want to do here is either make a video explaining what you get and why you should buy this product, or you can just put bullet points (it automatically makes the bullets into green check marks which will increase conversions.) Then you will need an auto responder to make a opt-in form. I will talk about this in the next step.

Step 3 : Now you need an auto responder. The best one out there is Aweber. Everything with it is the best, including customer service. It is 1$ for the first month, but if you want a free one for the first month, go with GetResponse. I highly recommend going with Aweber though, because it is hard to transfer your list later. You want to set up your web form (with the thank you page being the offer you are promoting) and get>>>SECOND PART OF THIS METHOD YOU CAN DOWNLOAD HERE FOR FREE!
