But when one of my favorite mentors mentioned that she made quite a bit of money recommending it, plus that she’s put a number of the 20 ways to very productive use, I dug it up and took a closer look.

And indeed. It’s the real thing. If you think about it, $100/day is not millions or even a boatload of money. You can live off it though, if you don’t have a huge mortgage and no credit card debts or student loans to pay back.

The techniques in there?  Well… it is and it isn’t what it says it is.

Some of them aren’t exactly businesses all by themselves, but the book as a whole gives you a really solid basis for making money online. It touches on all the basic aspects you need to build your business, from list building to promotion, and a range of ways to make money starting pretty much right away — without needing much of an investment.

You do need a certain degree of skill, and you definitely need a whole lot of elbow grease.

Being a ghostwriter is no walk in the park.  Neither is being a freelance graphic designer or any number of the other ventures that are featured in the book.  They are VERY real.

So if you really want to either make a living online or supplement your day job income with extra money, this is one book that delivers.

It gives you a variety of options to choose from. And then it gives you the tools to start making some money.  I’ve tried several of them myself (article writing, ghostwriting, eBay, affiliate marketing) and in fact, I’m still doing all of them to some degree of another.

And then, there’s the best one of all: you get to be an affiliate for the product and earn 100% commission, all of it instantly paid into your PayPal account. Now if that’s not an incentive, I don’t know what is.

In fact, I probably could have found a way around it, but I actually went out and bought another copy because I had lost the affiliate info for my old copy, and so now I plan to put that particular plan into action.

So what do you think?  Want to give that book a whirl?

After all, you can get that investment back with the first copy you successfully recommend to someone else

And I haven’t even mentioned that they provide you with a ready-made sales page, so all you have to do is “throw traffic at it” like another mentor of mine, Jason Fladlien, likes to say.

I also ought to mention that they authors who wrote the book include some very well-known and respected veteran internet marketers, from Willie Crawford, the editor, and Dr. Mani, the pediatric surgeon from India who got into internet marketing to help raise funds for the children he tried to help.

There are several others who are very senior members of the Warrior Forum, THE internet marketing gathering place. And all of them are members of TIMIC, also known as The Internet Marketing Inner Circle, Willie Crawford’s inner circle.

So do I recommend 20 Ways to Make $100 a Day Online?  Heck, yeah.  It’s a solid start and should be in the library of every beginning internet marketer — and maybe even every wannabe internet marketers. Because if they actually read it and start putting it to use, they won’t be wannabes for long — they’ll be the real thing.

So can you make $100 a day online with this book. Yes, and much more.

If you’re less than happy and are feeling just a bit frustrated (or a lot frustrated), I might have something for you.

First, the usual disclaimer:  No guarantees.  Can’t do that. Although if you don’t like it, you’ll get your money back.

And second, you won’t make millions. But you CAN make your car payments, or extra cash for gifts and Holiday decorations.

And yes, it’s WAY easier than eBay.

So what am I talking about?  This:

Go take a look.  You’ve got nothing to lose.  It may even be on sale, depending on when you’re looking.

One warning:

This ebook was written specifically for the U.S.  However, Amazon has subsidiaries in other countries:  Amazon.de, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.co.jp or something like that.  And yes, you may have to make a few adjustments around the edges, but it still works much the same way.

Anyway, please take a look….  And have a happy pre-season.

Now I did it backwards, and it was high time I found this book…

I printed it out immediately last night and read the whole thing, and I’m starting to work on it right away.  Its authors, Sara and Tony explain everything step-by-step in language I can actually understand, and the whole system makes a lot of sense. And they’ve been using it to make a nice reliable income.

Look for the resulting products right here and just about everywhere else really soon (we’re talking a week or so).

Thanks go to Travis, the ultimate bum marketer and creator of the Bum Marketing System, who alerted me to it in one of his informative emails

The embarrassing thing — that particular email had been sitting in my inbox since about January, and I just found it because I went back over all of his emails looking for some sort of enlightenment.  And hello…  There it was.

And here it is:

This is one product that’s worth every penny! What’s the deal with the worn paper thing? That’s what it used to be written on as Sara followed it step by step over and over until the paper almost fell apart. So then they wrote the book

It’s way cool!

So go get that worn paper that could be YOUR license to quit that day job too.

(Guest article by Terry Telford:)

Did you know that there are literally thousands of ways to make
money online?

One of the most solid business models to ensure a continual
monthly income is a subscription based membership website.

Members pay a monthly fee for access to a private memberís
area where they can access your information. You can provide
a variety of information in as many formats as you choose.
You can offer articles, reports, audios, videos,
teleseminars, downloads, software, almost anything you can
imagine.

Even if you offer a low cost membership, it only takes a
few members to make a comfortable income. A membership
website that charges $9.97 a month, only needs 300 members
to generate $3,000 every month.

And setting up a membership website has become remarkably
simple with advances in software that can be set up in a
couple hours, even by the average non-technical person.

But while it’s just that simple, once you’ve figured things out,
in the beginning, it takes some time
and energy to put the whole project together. But then it’s
simply a matter of updating, maintaining and marketing. So
let’s look at the steps to put together a successful
membership website.

Step 1
Choose a market. This is critical. You should look for a
market youíre going to enjoy working in as well as a market
people spend money in. People spend money where they are
passionate. Markets like sports, pets, business, and hobbies
all make hot markets to launch a membership website

Step 2
Test the market. Visit forums and chat rooms and ask people
if they know of any good websites that offer up-to-date
information.

Step 3
Use your research from Step 2 to develop a rough outline of
what your website will offer your members

Step 4
Write a sales letter and have the graphics professionally
designed. If you canít do this yourself, hire a freelancer
from elance.com or guru.com

Step 5
Set up the membership software to run the site.

Step 6
Populate the site with your content

Step 7
Market your site and let the cash flow begin.

7 simple steps and youíve got a membership website that
will generate a solid monthly cash flow for you. Each step
takes some effort and energy, but you can have your first
membership website completely set up and running in less
than a month. Then you can repeat the process as many times
as you like to increase your membership portfolio and your
monthly income.

URGENT UPDATE

Here’s great news: for 7 days, you can bypass the whole
membership website creation process.

Now you can get your complete membership website,
ready to upload to your server today. You can have a fully
functional membership website ready to take orders in the
next 2 hours. It’s only available for 7 days (or until they
sell out, so make sure you visit today.

Sounds too good to be true? Depends on who’s offering it. This one is the creation of Terry Telford and Edwin Ryan. I know Terry Telford — met him at the Las Vegas Conference (Masters Seminar organized by Ross Goldberg), and Terry is not only a really nice guy, but he’s also brilliant!

So when I saw this offer, it was irresistable. And it’ll be gone in a flash.

They say it’ll be available for only 7 days — BUT there’s a second part: or until sold out, and I would bet that it will sell out WAY before the 7 days are up.

I knew I had to have one and so I immediately jumped on it. So look for invitations to join MY membership site shortly

Where can you find this amazing offer?

Right where it says Instant Membership Site.

You know about Pat O’Bryan’s “Portable Empire,” don’t you? One of my favorite books (sitting right next to Tim Ferriss’ “4-Hour Work Week” and, like that book, inspired me to take my economic fortune into my own hands.

Arrived late last night (lots of delays due to assorted “weather” across the country). In fact, I almost didn’t come because I was so worried about the hurricane (I’m a chicken!), but there wasn’t any hurricane there when I got here!

Just had breakfast in the very nice Drury Hotel in San Antonio and getting ready for the first session. Can hardly wait for it to start. Will report back!

P.S.: Why the long delay between the last post and this one? Relapse of the flu! Details on my self-help blog.

Well… I was fascinated! For two reasons:

First, I’ve been studying persuasion and how people get other people to do things with words (or at least try to), and so when I found myself reading marketing emails and salesletters and couldn’t get my credit card out of my wallet fast enough, I started wondering….

How in the world do they do that? I have great respect for masters of persuasive writing, and so I started studying the techniques they used to make me feel like I simply HAD to have whatever they were offering, and have it NOW. And not only that. Many of the dozens of people who fill my inbox on a daily basis are starting to feel like they’re my friends. This is copywriting artistry!

After a while, my scholarly interest turned quite practical. Hey, I wanna do that too! And once I started earning my first affiliate commissions, I was hooked.

And as I started learning about internet marketing and saw what worked, cleaned up my mistakes, and gleefully put up blogs and websites (this from someone who used to hate computers not so long ago), I had yet another idea…

See, I spent years teaching grammar, and had made it my mission to explain it in a way that makes sense. I liked to empower people to discover how grammar works from the inside out. So what does that have to do with the internet?

Plenty! Learning about the internet can be daunting, and it involves quite a bit of complicated technical stuff. Like grammar And I’m good taking complex technical information and breaking it down into small, digestible parts. Sooooooo…

Why not teach what I’ve learned (and keep learning)? And thus was born my new email course on internet marketing step-by-step. At the moment, it’s in its beta version and you can actually get in for FREE. Eventually, I’ll turn it into a paid fixed term membership, where people will have to pay to get their once or twice weekly lessons.

So this is what’s in it for you: If want to make money online and you’re new to internet marketing, or if you’ve tried your hand at it for a while but haven’t gotten results, or you’re just really confused and/or frustrated, this is your chance to learn for FREE from someone who has plenty of experience explaining complicated stuff in a nice and friendly step-by-step format.

How can you get in on this? Simple! Just fill in your first name and email address in the box below and make sure you look in your inbox for the confirmation email. Open that and click on the confirmation link. And that’s it!

And of course, your email address will NEVER be traded, sold, or otherwise given away. I hate spam as much as you do, and I’ll safeguard your privacy. And if you ever want to unsubscribe… every single email will come with a handy-dandy unsubscribe button. Naturally, I hope you’ll never want to use it

There’s even a free ebook for you once you’ve confirmed your subscription.

See you on the other side…

When I first found out about it, I was a bit concerned. Was this legit? Would it work? It sounded almost too good to be true. I mean, the last thing you want is a spam complaint, so it’s generally a good idea to be very careful about services that promise tons of subscribers overnight, especially if those subscribers come in the millions for just a few bucks. That’s a spam disaster waiting to happen.

But in this particular case, the answer to both of the above questions turned out to be a resounding YES! It is possible to accelerate your list building process and there are legitimate ways to do so. And yes, those legitimate ways are considerably more expensive, but, well, you won’t have to worry. And I found a service that meets both criteria and works really well.

I tried it, and now I’m a convert and my lists (note the plural!) are growing at the sort of brisk clip I had been hoping for all along.

Is it free? No. Is it expensive? Not very, especially not when you think of building your list as an investment and consider what it will help you earn over time…

Okay what the heck am I talking about? I’m talking about an organization, owned and run by a major authority in list building, where you can advertise your newsletter and people will sign up for it. Yes, really. They will. It’s a process called co-registration. And it’s totally legit.

Every day you’ve had sign-ups, they’ll send you a file with your new subscribers and you then add them to your autoresponder service.

And there’s the rub… Aweber, the most-used autoresponder service won’t allow what they call “purchased leads.” Technically, these leads are indeed purchased insofar as that you pay for them, but what you really purchase is the advertising and the logistic arrangement of having them gather up the leads, making them confirm their subscription and then passing them on to you. That’s very different from those other offers floating about on the internet (you know, the millions of email addresses for ten bucks kinds of offers).

So where CAN you import those links? Fortunately, my favorite shoppingcart system does allow you to import them. And yes, they’ll make them confirm AGAIN and only about a third or so of them will do so, so you’ll lose a few.

But hey, those people probably would have unsubscribed sooner or later anyway and probably wouldn’t have ever bought anything. So it’s not THAT big a loss. And on the bright side, that extra layer of protection will protect YOU — from spam complaints — so I’m not complaining.

How much does this cost then? Thirty-seven cents a lead, counting those they send you by email. Eventually, every lead I’m getting out of that co-registration system (i.e., every lead that actually confirms again and makes it onto my personal list) costs me about a dollar, maybe a little more.

And with expert opinion being that every subscriber on your list eventually averages you a buck a month in income (and potentially considerably more if you treat your subscribers well, which includes providing them with quality information and building a relationship with them), investing in leads through a co-reg service is such a no-brainer I can’t believe it took me so long to finally figure this out.

So that’s the secret. Obviously, I’m using the other list-building strategies too — I publish articles, and post on forums, and yes, I’m getting subscribers that way too, but co-reg just works like a charm and so much more quickly.

And that is important because I’m going to start launching my first teleseminar very soon (stay tuned), and I do want some people to show up!

So if you too want to turbo-charge your list, check out http://www.turbo-list.com, and if you need a shoppingcart system to go with it, get a FREE 1-month trial at the best integrated shoppingcart system around, which also happens to be the one that allows you to import your shiny new subscribers.

Happy list building!
