Don’t Fall for the 5,000 an Hour on Auto-Pilot Spam

dollarsign1thumbnailI’m sure I could go without making this post for most people, but unfortunately there’s always some people that fall for these scams even if they are too good to be true. It’s not hard to make money online, but it’s not easy to get rich quickly.

I just received an email about a ClickBank product that has made a lot of people a lot of money. It’s not because it’s an instant way to get rich though. Don’t misunderstand however, ClickBank offers some fantastic products, I’ve bought several myself. The problem is the way some people market the offerings. They buy an email list from some of the less than decent marketers out there, send out bulk mailings on anything and everything, and get whatever sells they can. I would guess most don’t know anymore about the products that they’re pushing than the unsuspecting spam victims do.

The email that initiated this post was for Forex, which I honestly don’t know much about, but the subject was something to the effect…’Make $1,000,000 in 12 months.’ It was from someone that I had never heard of too. Obviously I hadn’t given him my email, so….there was someone that offered something (free) that I thought looked interesting enough to give up my email for. We all know what that guy does with his list, he sells it.

If you’re new to Internet Marketing there are lots of great products and services around. Personally, what I’ve learned about it, I could pretty much have learned without spending a dime, for the most part. I have promoted quite a few products on this blog, but they’re products that I’vevertbanner01 actually bought or know of!!

If you’re wanting to make some money online, I would take a look at Pot Pie Girl‘s course. It is a ClickBank product and it has lots of great  information. The good thing about her methods is everything is free. She uses Squidoo and EzineArticles a lot, as well as some other sites and methods thrown in.

I just posted about it a few days ago(yes I bought it too). It’s called One Week Marketing Plan, and it takes you through what you need to do, step by step, day by day. She’s got a great ‘no quibble’ guarantee, I think she calls it. So if it doesn’t work for you, you get your money back. I don’t think you could ask for anything better than that.

So just remember, if it sounds too good to be true…it IS!! Not ‘probably is’, it ‘is’ too good to be true. Do you really think if someone had a method that was making them $5,000 per day on ‘auto-pilot,’ they’d be wanting to share it with the world ?

If you’re wanting some free methods to generate traffic, go to BumMarketingCourse.com also. This is something that really offers some very good information that is very similar to what Jennifer (Pot Pie Girl) offers.

Jennifer is a member at Wealthy Affiliate, which is an excellent site if you’re just getting started in Affiliate Marketing. Actually, it’s a good site even if you’re a seasoned veteran, just because there’s a lot of people there doing the same thing and sharing a lot of information. I just became a member a couple of weeks ago and I highly recommend it.

So just use your common sense and read….a lot!! You can sign up for many of the top Affiliate Networks on this site, for free. You can go check out the WickedFire forum, also for free. There”s a bunch of great information there also. Just learn as much as you can before you pull your credit card out.

Great Squidoo and EzineArticles (Primarily) Money-Making Technique

This blog is obviously about my quest in finding the best methods of making money online, so I had to pass this along.

In a previous post I mentioned that I had just signed up with Wealthy Affiliate (which is great by the way). Well, I was skimming through the ‘recommended products’ area of the forum and ran across a thread that mentioned ‘Pot Pie Girl.’ I don’t know her personally, but I had been to her blog before and saw that she’s always got some good stuff there.

Anyway, to make a long story short, the guy that started the thread had just purchased her One Week Marketing Plan, which I didn’t even know about, and he couldn’t say enough good things about it. I had to read every post after that.

Every single post was singing the praises of her course, so I had to check it out. I ended up buying the course, and I have to say it’s most likely the best money that I’ve spent to date on anything associated with online marketing. I’ve still made more money with the phpBay Pro plugin, but to be fair, I just got the OWM Plan.

I usually never buy any of the ‘make $2,000 a day on autopilot’ type stuff. That doesn’t happen unless you’re Amazon or somebody. Well, for most people anyway.

Back to the One Week Marketing Plan. What I like about it is, it’s very easy to follow, everything in it is free, and it’s actually laid out step by step, day by day. HOWEVER, the absolute best thing about the course (I think) is that Pot Pie Girl (Jennifer Ledbetter) has published an IM chat that she had with a young guy named Nick. He had IM’d her asking for help, and she asked him to be her Guinea Pig…which he agreed to.

This is getting long so I won’t try and cover the whole thing, but in a nutshell, she tells him step by step what to do in order to get a campaign up and going using primarily Squidoo and EzineArticles. There are other sites and steps, but as I mentioned everything is free. Unless of course you register any domains, which would probably be a good idea, but at a couple of bucks for .info’s, that’s peanuts.

If you haven’t heard about the course you have to check it out. I bought it 2 days ago and pretty much have a campaign going, but I’m still waiting for some articles to be approved at EzineArticles.

I have to say there’s really nothing in the course that’s totally new to me, but I had never been able to get a good pan laid out. I’m always jumping from one thing to another. With her plan you know exactly where you are and where you need to go next. I know it will work because it’s all proven stuff. Keywords, backlinks, the stuff that generates traffic, that generates sales…in a nice easy to follow course by Jennifer…and Nick.

Oh, I almost forgot…Nick was very frustrated when he first IM’d Jennifer, he said he’d been trying to make money for, I think it was almost a year, but hadn’t made a dime. Just shortly after starting with Jennifer, he made his first sale…and his second, and then his third, all within 2 weeks!!

I know that’s not a lot of money, but if you haven’t made anything in about a year, and then you get 3 sales as soon as you start a new technique, I think that says a lot about what she’s offering. If you’re more advanced and maybe having some luck with PPC, then this course probably isn’t for you, but if you’re a beginner or even intermediate, then I HIGHLY SUGGEST it.

Anyway, I bought it…and I’m glad I did.

Squidoo – Flip those FREE Lenses and Make Serious Money!!

Been wondering how to make some money easily online without having to spend a small fortune on ‘courses’ ,’systems’ and guru ‘subscriptions’ ?

Then read on…

I recently posted about Squidoo. I’ve been actively investigating everything I can about all things Squidoo in the last week or so.

I can’t believe I somewhat overlooked the major possibilities that Squidoo has to offer. I’ve also seen some of the money that many people have been able to generate. I only wish I would have went into it full force several months back when I first took a look at Squidoo, but at least I have been lately.

The point of this post is, besides all of the obvious money making techniques available with Squidoo, one thing that I hadn’t thought of is ‘lens-flipping’. You can probably guess by the name that ‘lens-flipping’ is simply creating a lens (free Squidoo page), and then selling it off.

This is completely okay with Squidoo, there’s nothing underhanded or deceitful, and because of the fact that it’s so easy to create lenses, and there’s no limit to the amount of lenses that you can set up, the money making potential is limitless.

As I mentioned before in my other post, and here, I didn’t start actively using Squidoo until just recently, therefore I’ve only set up (2) lenses at this point, but that was just while I was doing other things, putting only a very small amount of time into it. I can only imagine how many lenses a person could do per day if they were to get into it seriously.

I ran across lenses for sale via the Squidoo site. One of the owners of the site that builds custom lenses for sale, Tiffany Dow, has a great resource available on her techniques for generating money by flipping lenses.

I won’t drag this out any longer, go take a look at her fantastic information. It’s available here. If you’ve got a little extra time on your hands, there’s a lot of money to be made using Squidoo. This is but just one…a very good one though it is.

Remember, if you haven’t looked at Squidoo.

  • It’s TOTALLY FREE
  • It’s VERY EASYNo HTML – Just a building block design
  • There are many ways to monetize using Squidoo
  • Once you get started, you’ll get the snowball traffic effect on your lenses should you decide to keep them for other monetization options
  • You start earning money by sharing the Squidoo revenue just by creating lenses and having them grow
  • There’s people with hundreds of lenses making thousands of dollars per month – You can too!!

So after you check out the ‘Flip that Lens‘ information, head on over to Squidoo and get busy building your many profitable lenses. You’ll already have a resource for selling them for you too!!

P.S. Have a look at what Tiffany and her partner are getting for custom built lenses at Build My Lens!! If you’re somewhat creative and have a little time, you too can generate some serious cash by buiilding FREE Squidoo lenses. I’m off to building from the (2) I presently have.
