20 Ways to Make $100 a Day Online? Scam or the Real Thing?

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

When I first came across “20 Ways to Make $100 a Day Online” I thought, “Yeah, right.”  And it got lost somewhere on my hard drive where it gathered dust, all but forgotten.

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.

Directory of Ezines: A Review

Sunday, March 29th, 2009

The Directory of Ezines is a resource I really wish I had found a whole lot sooner.  How so?

It is exactly what its title says, and it’s also a whole lot more.  It’s a searchable database of ezines — ezines that send their mailings to thousands of readers. Can you imagine the potential if you send them a really enticing ad?

You may have a list already, and so this might not be as crucial to you.  But if you don’t, this can be worth its weight in gold. Heck, even if you do have a list it would be a great resource.

And that’s not all.  I wanted to join a while ago, but at the time, I would have joined as a 1-year member.  I’m glad I waited and joined as a lifetime member because the perks are so worth it!

We get access to unlimited classified ads we can post on the site itself.  We get to post 3 banner ads on their site.  We get to post up to 50 articles in the DOE article directory!  With resource boxes of course.

And we get a wealth of information, including ebooks and teleseminars. And I think there’s some other stuff too.

Best of all, though, we get Charlie Page, the owner of DOE!  He answers questions by email, and if you’re lucky, even by phone.  He has call-in times two days a week, where lifetime members can call him up and ask away.  How cool is that!

So what kind of ezines are in there?

All sorts. Lots on marketing and internet marketing. But many others as well, including on personal growth and health. And the ads are surprisingly reasonably priced (mostly).

But here’s the biggest perk: Many of the publications actually accept articles, so you can offer to send them articles — or just send them, and when they publish them, they might actually be even MORE effective than ads.

As I said, I wish I had joined right long ago. If you would like to check it out, here’s the link:

Make Money Online for Christmas Gifts, And With Less Work Than eBay!

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

Christmas Cash.  Money for the Holidays.  Gifts for the kids or your loved ones.  So how much have you made online yet?  3 figures? 4 figures?  5 figures?  6 figures?  7?

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.

“Affiliate Defined” Review: Finally — The REAL Affiliate Marketing Secrets Made Clear & Explicit

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

Affiliate Defined?  MORE Affiliate Marketing Secrets? You bet. I’ve bought ebook after ebook on how to do affiliate marketing and I have made a sale or three, but give me a break! I thought I’d be raking in hundreds or even thousands, and instead, I’m making tens and twenties, and not every day either.

So when an internet marketing expert who already has some of the best stuff on traffic sent me to this website I was ever hopeful but also more than a bit skeptical. But it did sound pretty darn intriguing and so I shelled out the cash (last one, I swore to myself), and now I’m eagerly devouring the more than 200 pages long book. And none of that 16 point print either. This thing is stuffed with info!

The wildest thing: the author is a 13-year-old whiz kid internet marketer who has clearly been at it for years. He knows what he’s doing and doesn’t mince words. And his book is written in such clear and straightforward prose, I want to give him an award just for that.

But the content is what truly rocks. I’ll report more when I’ve made more progress, and I’ll soon be reporting the sales too. This book is more real and more info-rich than anything, and I mean ANYTHING, I’ve seen in the 8 months since I’ve started investigating affiliate marketing and related subjects. And I can actually understand what he’s talking about. Without even trying. That’s not what I would say about most of the other stuff. Either the kid is an excellent writer to boot, or he has an excellent ghost writer.

So if you have ANY interest in affiliate marketing at all, you owe it to yourself to check out David’s Affiliate Defined. I think you’ll like it as much as I do.
