How to Make Money Fast From Blogging With Blogger – Even If You Are Completely New And Have No Money
Nov 21st
Today’s Tip is from John Schwartz
This is just one of many ideas you can take action on without spending a nickel. Set up the blogs as I show, ping them, get some social bookmark links. You can set one of these up every day and do all you need to do. Set and forget in about an hour.
Spend one lousy hour a day on this if you’re just starting out. It’s all free, and if you stick to it, you will start to see some traffic. Then it’s just a matter of making money from that traffic. Stick some Adsense ads on your blogs… Clickbank if it applies…. whatever you want.
The main thing is to take action consistently. And don’t bother trying to make money from these blogs right away. Just spend your time setting up as many as you can. Go back a few weeks later and add Adsense or whatever you want once they’re established and maybe getting some traffic.
One final point about this… This isn’t going to make you rich. Not even close. But if you do this every day for a month or two, it can easily earn you enough in passive income to pay your car payment, electricity bill, gas, etc. every month. So stop looking for reasons to fail and TAKE ACTION!!! You (yes you!) can do this.

Work At Home Opportunity GEEK To Full Time Online Marketer
Nov 19th
The “secret” from going from a few bucks a month work at home opportunity buyer to full time online marketer
By Justin Goff
I’ve been an entrepreneur doing online marketing in one way or another for the last 3 years.
I’ve been through multiple highs and lows. At one point I was making $15,000 a month working just 2 hours a week, and at another point I was working 15 hours a day and barely making $1000 a month.
I’ve had booming periods where I made a bunch of money, and then I didn’t make a dime for the next 12 months. It’s an up and down game, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
If you’re struggling to get going or you’re at the point where you feel like giving up, here’s a few of my biggest tips that should help you…
1. Everyone who is a “big shot” has been in your shoes…
Out of all the guys I know doing 6 & 7 figures none of them were in good situations when they started. They weren’t rich, or sitting on a $50k marketing budget. Just like I did, they all hustled their way to make some money, and then once something was working they continued to leverage that.
Always remember if you have something that is working consistently and you just don’t have the money to expand, there’s hundreds of marketers who would be willing to invest in your business.
If you came to me and showed me how you’re getting a 70% ROI on an ad buy for 3 straight months, but you don’t have the cash flow to spend any more than $100 a day – I would gladly invest some money in your business so that you could leverage what you have.
Don’t let the fact that you don’t have any money get in the way. Get really good at SEO and build up a little business that you can scale!
2. Your Friends & Family Will Be The Most Negative People When It Comes To Your Business
This was an eye opener when I first got my business going. I had just graduated college at Ohio State, and decided to give it a go full time. I was making about $500 per month at the time, but I figured with a little more focus I could do $2000 a month and scrape by on that.
My family and friends were the MOST critical of my decision. They couldn’t believe I wasn’t getting a “real job” . I had to hear stuff all the time from people who were literally upset that I didn’t have a real job.
Part of this stems from jealousy – part of it stems from the fact that the people closest to you can’t envision you as anything other than what you are right now.
The real truth is… being an entrepreneur and running a business like this is a “lonely” business. You don’t interact with as many people as you would at a real job. You have to have a STRONG belief in yourself if you are going to succeed.
It also helps to have a mastermind group with at least 2-3 other people who are doing the same thing as you (preferably with people who are smarter and more successful than you are)
Sooner or later you’re going to need some people to lean on when you need advice or help.
3. If You’re Not Going To Push Through “The Dip” Then Don’t Even Start…
Seth Godin wrote a great book a few years ago called *“The Dip”. The main gist of it is there is a dip in everything you do. It’s the “tough part” that weeds out the stragglers and allows the people who truly want to succeed to get to the top.
Its Darwinism at its best.
Ive gone through multiple dips in my business. When I started right out of college I made like $15k a month for a few months, and then I didn’t have an income for almost 10-12 months. I survived through it, and ended up doing all kinds of odd jobs online to make ends meet – but I made it, and it made me a more confident and stronger entrepreneur.
With my new business I thought I was going to be raking in money in 5-6 months – well I had a lot to learn about the business, and things have finally ramped up, but it took me almost 2 years from the start of this project to get where I am now…
It was a LONG, LONG road and I struggled a lot to get where I am now – but a lot of the hardest work is over and now my focus is on growing what we already have that’s working.
Always remember there’s going to be a “dip” that you need to push through. It’ll be hell and it will make you question your reason for doing this, but it will be more than worth it when you come out on the other side.
Hope this helps someone who needs a little motivation to get through a slump or to get started

You are about to discover how to always have your website or blog chock full of great content, even if you SUCK at writing and your Articles & Posts would bore the pants off even the worlds most boring person…LOL!
Enter the FORUM… Now, I don’t mean just any old forum…
What we need to do is to source great forums in our particular NICHE to raid, and NO, I don’t mean STEAL… Content.
Let’s say for instance you are in the Internet Marketing Niche… but, it doesn’t really matter what Niche you are in as there are forums for every Niche out there… although for specialised Niches like Paint Stripping, you may find this a little harder.
OK, so we type into Google – Internet Marketing forums, and we get a whole bunch of them come up.
The top two in the Google search results are the appropriately named Internet Marketing Forums and the Warrior Forums – so for demonstration purposes, as I am already a member of the Warrior Forum, I am going to show you in the video below, how to get some great content to use on your blog or website from the Warrior forum and believe me, you will NEVER be short of good quality content ever again.

How I Made 68 Cents On Squidoo And You Can Too! – Diary Of A Squidnomaniac
Nov 16th
By Teezazzle
No, really, I made 68 cents on Squidoo! And you really can too! I will teach you how. This is all the information you need to know on how to build 25 lenses and make 68 cents. This is no scam folks. I promise. You REALLY can make 68 cents on Squidoo. You can work from home doing it too!
(Update-November 2009. I earned $68.31 this month! I told you it wasn’t a scam. However, it’s no fly by night get rich kind of thingy either. I mean, I built over 50 more lenses since the day I built this lens. And you can’t just slap these lenses together with a bunch of cut and paste either. You have to be creative and passionate about doing it to.
If you’re not, you wont make 68 cents much less $68. Anyway, I’ll keep ya all posted on my earnings. Thanks for all of your comments and “thumbs up” (votes)! No, really, thank you because all of your comments and votes helps my lens to grow in the rankings, which means more money! So, thanks! Happy Squidooing!).
Here is a monthly log of all my earnings – look how much you can earn..
I’m going to update this every month, so be sure to favor or lensroll me. Well, don’t favor or lensroll ME, I meant the lens. See if I reach my goal of $1 by December 31, 2009.
- Jan. 2009 ~ $0.00
- Feb. 2009 ~ $0.00
- Mar. 2009 ~ $0.22
- Apr. 2009 ~ $0.46 (68 cents total…I’m on a roll!
- May 2009 ~ What the heck! Here is my message from Squidoo. “Hey, you’ve got an estimated $0.22 in your Reserve Hopper*, just waiting until your account reaches your Cash Payout Threshold!” OK so I guess I’m LOSING money now. What happened to my 42 cents from April? I’m building brilliant lenses, have 5 in the top 100 in their category, but losing money? Go figure. Hey, you too can lose money……just build lenses like me!<3 days later> Another email from Squidoo. “Hey, you’ve got an estimated $0.46 in your Reserve Hopper*, just waiting until your account reaches your Cash Payout Threshold!”
- Ok Squidoo, you are starting to drive me craaaaaaazy. Make up your mind! Did I make 22 cents, 42 cents, 46 cents, or 68 cents? Do I need to change the lens title to “I made 22 cents on Squidoo and you can too”? If anyone out there knows how much I’ve made, please let me know!! Thanks.
- June 2009 ~ It’s June and I have 84 cents in my reserve Hopper!!! Almost there!
- July 2009 ~ I REACHED MY GOAL!!!!!!
My Squdioo earnings were $13 this month!!! Yes, DOLLARS! Not cents, but Dollars! Whoohoo!
- August 2009 ~ Another $28!!! A total of $41.68 now!! Oh, and I’ve built 25 more lenses too. I’m over 50 now! Next goal…to become a big Squid!
I’m excited to see what my earnings will be for next month. It just keeps getting better and better…and so are the lenses I’m building :)
Not only did I reach my goal but after building 50 lenses I learned how to do some pretty cool stuff like turning this text red :)
- September 2009 ~ My earnings that Squidoo deposited in my PayPal account for Sept was $12.43. (am I going backwards?) The earnings for this month didn’t really make sense to me because it seemed like my lenses were ranked even higher than the previous month.
- October 2009 ~ $23.27! That’s more like it
More good news is that my “15 Things To Do With A Pumpkin” lens was picked for LOTD (Lens Of The Day) on October 20th!…and it was blessed by 5 Squid Angels!! Whooohooo. Even better news….I made “Giant Squid” and received this letter from Squidoo……”We had hundreds of applications this round and really raised the bar in our search for excellence. And you didn’t just meet it; you vaulted over it. Thanks for the wonderful work, leadership, and for believing in what you can do here. What now? Well, first, celebrate and do a happy dance.” So, excuse me folks, I gotta go do my “happy dance” now. See you all next month!
- November 2009 ~ My earnings were the highest yet!
A total payout for $68.31!!! (That’s before the % was taken out for the Squidoo charities I donate to). Can you believe that I went from .68 cents to $68?! I have high hopes for next month too because next months check will be for what I earned in October…and in October my Halloween Lenses did very well in the rankings, especially my LOTD lens.
- December 2009 ~
This month’s earnings were $111.22!!!!
- HAPPY 2010!!
- January 2010 ~ My earnings this month….$75.45 Whooohooo! It’s amazing that 9 months ago, in April, my monthly earnings total was 46 cents and this month a whopping $75.45. Ok…off to spend my money shopping on Amazon now. After I do the happy dance of course :). See you all next month.
- February 2010 ~ My Feb. earnings were $83.92!!!!
Check out my new happy dance…
- March 2010 ~ $33.68
I seem to have had a dip in my earnings this month. I guess I need a few more visitors to my lenses (hint hint). Feel free to twitter this lens… or any of my other lenses :)
- April 2010 ~ $43.82
Well, this month was a little better than last :) Ok, I’ve been on Squidoo long enough and I think I should be making at least $100 or more every month. I have to invest in the time to learn how some others are making $1,000.00 a month.Oh, and I earned my “angel wings”….I’m one of Squidoo’s 15 Squid Angels now…or at least for the next 3 months. What an honor and treat it is to be chosen! Ok, off to fly around Squidoo and bless some lenses now.
- May 2010 ~ $38.83
Sorry for the late update. It’s just that I’ve been so busy flying all over Squidoo passing out Angel Blessings. All that flying, boy my arms are killing me. Ok, now for the update…After my donation to charity was subtracted, I earned $38.83. Whoohoo. I also created my 200th Squidoo lens this month! (the link is further down the lens). My 5-year goal is 1,000 lenses.
- June 2010 ~ $96.01!!!! Whooohoooo!!
About $10 of that was taken out to donate to the charities of my choice, so I really received about $86. Not bad :)Oh, and more good news is that I entered my “Tips for Preventing Children from Being Kidnapped” lens in the Squidoo “Summer Sunshine Award” contest….and it won!!! So, not only will I receive an extra $99 next month but the charity of my choice will also receive $99, which is the Polly Klaas Foundation. Thanks Squidoo!!!

- July 2010 ~ Holy Cow!…biggest payout yet!! My total payout this month (which was actually for the month of May) was $148.62!!! After charity donations, the total amount deposited in my account was $133,66! Whoohoo!! Additionally, my Tips for Preventing Children from being Kidnapped lens won a Squidoo Sunshine Award…and I received the $99 prize this month in addition to my earnings. Squidoo also gave another $99 to the charity of my choice, which was the Polly Klaas Foundation. So, my combined earnings this month was $247.62! ($148.62 + $99.)
- Also created a few more lenses and have a total of 236 lenses now! One of my favorite “NEW” lenses is 55 Things That Make My Day. I think I’ll go update that lens now and add “getting paid from Squidoo” to the list :)
Happy Squidooing!
- August 2010 ~ $101.69 It was really a little over $114 but I have Squidoo take out a certain amount every month to donate to charity.
- September 2010 ~ $142.68!!
Holy sheep! This was my biggest payout yet! Well, I actually made more in July but that’s because I received an extra $99 for winning The Summer Sunshine award. More good news is that the more I make, the more goes to charity. Through my lenses I was able to donate another $15 this month to the charity of my choice, - Three of the charities I support through Squidoo are the Polly Klaas Foundation, Food For Everyone, and The Inner City Scholarship Foundation. Yay for charity! FYI…I now have 284 lenses AND have been chosen to be a SquidAngel for the second time, I’ve also received a bunch of blessings from other SquidAngels too. You can view them here on my Blessed by a Squid Angel lens. Ok, off to make and bless more lenses…see you all next month. Happy Squidooing
- October 2010 ~ $142.00! I made the same amount as last month. Am I on a roll or what? What I’m really shocked about is that I noticed in last month’s update I mentioned that I had 284 lenses…but now I’m at 425! I didn’t realize that I had made 141 lenses in the last month! I must have been Squidooing and making lenses in my sleep! Nobody warned me that Squidoo was addicting. I had a great Squidoo month in October. Not only did I make another 141 lenses, but my lenses ranked really well because of Halloween.
- I had over 45,000 visitors to my lenses this month! My Halloween lenses did make some money but what’s really funny is that the lens that made me the most amount this month was my Pimp My Office Cubicle lens.
- Someone bought a bunch of printers (I think 6), which resulted in $31 in sales (will be paid for that in Decemeber). I never had a sale from that lens and then all of a sudden BAM! a huge sale.Ok, are you ready for the best news of all? I put Zazzle products on my How To Grill Lobster lens and it resulted in an affiliate sale of $300!! Someone bought 106 lobster aprons.
- Yes folks, it pays to be a Zazzle affiliate and to put Zazzle products on your Squidoo lenses. If you don’t know how to do that then visit my Zazzle Affiliate lens for instructions.I also received my 4th Purple Star! This time it was for my Breast Cancer Self Examination lens. I also had 4 more people sign up for Squidoo under me

The “I Want Money Now, Money Spinner Syndrome!”
Nov 15th
The “I Want Money Now, Money Spinner Syndrome!”
By Celente
I skim many IM forums every week, and realize one thing that happens constantly…
You will see many thread titles such as this…
“How do I make at least $50 a day”
“How do I make $100 a day?”
“How can I make $5000 by next month!”
If you frequent the Warrior forum, or others, you will know exactly what I am talking about. And maybe slap your forehead each time they appear! And if you are even half decent, at this whole Internet marketing game you will know and understand one thing.
Having an IM business is great!!!, but here is the trap.
From day 1 you belong in two camps.
CAMP 1) What I am doing is really just creating a small money spinner ($100 – $1000 p/month)
CAMP 2) I have a fully fledged powerful online business and a high quality product people around the world need or even crave for ($2000 – $infinity p/month)
When I first started online I use to belong to camp 1 continuously. At the same time I wondered why I kept failing. It wasn’t until my mentor later told me that I was not creating a REAL online business. Just a little hobby farm, or what I term – money spinners, that were not really going to succeed in the first place.
Then I had one of those AH-HUH moments. And realised that I had to get serious and create something of value, and start building a list. Then I had leverage and I could build from there. It didn’t take 2 days to do. But it was constant action taking and building things slowly.
BOY O BOY did it pay off!!! I then realised money spinners were a waste of time. I was building my own virtual land, and actually helping my prospects and clients at the same time. I was creating real relationships with real people using my computer. I was working less hours in the day, but the money I was brining in was more and more prolific, as time went on.
YES! I found out that working my butt off forcing crappy $5 PLR products to people that were half interested or using the latest autoblog tool was really just a total waste of time. These were NOT real businesses at all. Just hard work, for not much money at all. I was averaging about 1-2 dollars and hour.
Work out whether you want a just a money spinner or a full on hard core IM business. I have seen people come and go, and several of my good friends fail online. WHY? they just attempt to create one little money spinner, it fails…..so they go back to the drawing board. Then even worse they have another go at something else and try to create another money spinner from scratch. Oh dear!
Swapping from shiny object to shiny object will not get any work done and will not give you results.
Take time in your business, FOCUS, build it from the ground up. Commit yourself to one thing, one niche and spend time educating yourself on your topic or whatever you are selling. Put your mind in the shoes of the prospect. Do you want to sell them a crappy report that is actually worth $5? or do you want to give them stuff that will actually change their life and give them results???
But how are you going to do this. Well….There are many options :-
1) Give them free reports pdf, videos, audio that will blow them away (get them excited)
2) Get them asking what other stuff do you have / sell ?
3) Make them look forward to receiving your emails and not just delete them like stinky spam.
4) Offer them higher priced video membership continuity programs they will say YES to!
5) Offer them offline seminars they can say YES To!
6) Offer them high priced, high value one on one coaching they can say YES to!
INSERT OWN TECHNIQUE HERE
I think you get my picture now, but it all starts with the free opt in. Then if you are actually creating a business you can add these above to your existing funnel. Especially as you are helping your clients, getting to know them better, and what sort of information the crave for.
Start from scratch and sit down with yourself and build a real online business. Not one or two money spinners that bring in $20 a week. That is not creating a business empire. It is about creating a business in a hungry niche, building a big response list that will you give valuable stuff too, that will make you money down the track, In the longer term. THEN YOU HAVE LEVERAGE to play with too. Who knows where that can take you?
Stop asking how I can make $500 by tomorrow. And start asking yourself, how can I help my list and list of buyers get the results they are after. How can I create a proper business in a hungry niche that is going to pay me when I am shopping, or down at the beach goofing off??. Do that properly, and the money will flow like milk and honey in the promise land.
Do this continuously, and be patient and you will get more than just those $500 weeks / months.
Build your business properly, and stop trying to sit in front of that damn machine and slave away for those little money spinners, the $100 a week ones. Then wake up the next day and do it over and over again. YUCK!!!
Build the foundations of a self sustainable rock sold business that brings in continual profits now, and into the future. Concentrate on one thing, then build on what you have. Have a look online and study successful businesses and their sales funnels. I have seen businesses flourish and become multimillion dollar companies from just one simple free opt in page, offering a 10 page PDF file.
Sure, it makes you think of IM in a different light eh? But this is truly one of the powerful things that changed my way of thinking and the way I make money online. I am sure it will do the same for you if you give it a try??
Cheers.
