Today, I am going to tell you what has made me 40% of my earnings so far in my internet money making career. Before I start telling you the secret, let me make it very clear, this is the most easiest thing you can do to make money without doing anything un-ethical (blackhat), its purely whitehat and works wonders

I made $5800 in less than 8 hours

I was really amazed to see when I tried this for the very first time, I think it was march 2002, I sent a newsletter to my subscribers with my product and I went to bed, trust me when I came back and checked my emails, I was SHOCKED, and I was so excited that I went and told my mother about the results and the time was about 3AM, I still feel that excitement, I made $5800 in less than 8 hours, I was asleep in those 8 hours after sending newsletter.

What was in the newsletter ?

You might be thinking, what was in the newsletter and what product I am talking about. Well it was my ebook, shocked ? I was also shocked. My ebook was related to a web development related software Macromedia Flash, I wrote a comprehensive guide on how to use it, so you can it was a very well written book of its time. Now, yo might be thinking not everyone is a good writer, how can it help in this case ? well, I have a solution for that as well.

What kind of Information should I write about ?

It depends, I would say, you should write about anything you like, you have interest in,  It will be a good read for someone with the same interest. Information selling is the most profitable business of all time. Now, at this point I will give you 3 options to proceed with

• Write a report / ebook yourself about something you know
• Hire a writer (very cheap) from scriptlance.com or getafreelancer.com
• Find a PLR (Private Label Rights) product, there are tons out there

Writing yourself takes some time, but you are 100% sure about what you are saying and backup all what you are writing, but not necessarily. If you hire a writer from any of the sites I mentioned, you get a lot of free time to do anything else in that time, and trust me within 1-2 hours of launch you will get back your money back that you will be giving to freelancer, and investing on ebooks is actually a long term profit business.

Now, the third option is PLR product or finding  Public Domain articles or ebooks. This is the minimum effort and large profit business, trust me it works really well. If you already have a website and hosting, its better, otherwise you will only be investing $10 on domain and hosting then putting that product for sale.

Ok, I have got my guns ready, where to strike ? Where to sell ?

Now, this is very important to write an effective sales letter, this is actually the selling point, if you will not write a good sales letter, the product will not sell, so be creative and read more articles about writing effective sales letter. Once you are ready, go to forums and you will see money rolling in your account. Now go to the following forums to start selling your ebook.

1.First goto Sitepoint.com marketplace and list your ebook there (it costs a few bucks, but if you are clever enough, post in other free areas),

2.then go to Digitalpoint forum post in “Buy Sell and Trade” section,
3.then go to WarriorForum.com and post there,

4.and finally go to WickedFire.com and offer your WSO. Now I have only mentioned 4 forums, but you can post in as many you want to open more doors of money, so its upto you.

I would also advise you to do some joint ventures and offer affiliations, this way people promote your products, I mean if you offer 50% commission on your PLR product, you have done nothing but will get a lot of sales for sure.

Tip: I have noticed that the most selling ebooks are related to internet marketing, you cannot imaging about the results :), so Good Luck !

Well, to be honest I have been in Internet business since last 10 years, I know many of you have been from the very early days of internet when spamming was quite easy and tricking search engines was like a child play, so you became rich quickly and now playing in billions. But at the moment, tricking search engines and generating traffic and then generating more revenue form your websites has become difficult as compared to early days to internet, for the people who have just started and they want to make a living out of internet or they are just fed up with their day job, and looking for alternative. Let me tell you that you can make money form internet if you are dedicated and you think you can spend 2-3 hours of work daily on your business. If you cannot spend 1-2 hours only a day, then close the window and search google for “money making magic formula”.

What’s the plan ?

I sold one of my website for $65K about 2 month ago (I will not disclose my deals’ information so please dont ask) , now you can see that people sell websites at Sitepoint or other forums like Digitalpoint for these prices and sometimes even more highly priced, I was interested in a website for purchasing and was planning to spend about $80K on that, but that was sold for $145K at Sitepoint, here is the auction if you want to check. Yeah, that’s an image hosting website. So what I am going to tell you is how you can do the same and sell websites for a good profit, in the beginning you can easily make $600-$1000 per month, but if you keep working 2-3 hours a day on a single site, you will sell it for higher price for sure, but don’t expect that you will do nothing and become a millionaire one day. There is no magic formula. Anyways, we have 2 options here

1. Make 1 website, work hard on it, generate traffic, and then sell it.
2. Make many similar websites, and then sell them all.

What kind of websites sell ?

My answer will be ‘any kind of‘ ‘ . Yes, you can make any kind of website and sell it for high profits, the general rule for developing a successful website is that develop a website in which you have personal interest, like if you love hunting, go and build a website for hunting, if you love dogs, build a website about dogs. Now, sometimes it is difficult to sell niche websites (depending on the niche), so I will advice you to pick a general niche that is used by all the internet users. So, lets get start, if you follow m advice I can guarantee you will certainly make $600-$1000 in a month, and even more if you spend more time. The only investment will be getting a domain name and a hosting, so I think it may only take $15-$20 for you to get started with my plan.

We are going to develop an image hosting website, because if you check the sitepoint’s Marketplace, and the “Buy, Sell, Trade” section of Digitalpoint.com, WickedFire.com and other internet marketing forums, you will notice that these are the top selling websites and only 1-2 month old websites are sold for $1000-$3000 depending on their Alexa rank and traffic.

How long will it take to develop an image hosting website ?

I would say 10 minutes even if you are inexperienced. I know if you hire a freelancer to develop a custom script for you, he will take minimum of 10 days and charge you something around $600-$800 for such script, but hey we are not spending any money on that, lets go for the freely available scripts. This is not a perfect script, I know it can be bulky for large image hosting website, but we are only developing a website to sell, so its not bad for that, download the script here. Installation process only takes 3-5 minutes. Once you have installed this script, you are ready to move on the next step.

How to generate traffic for an image hosting site ?

Now, it all depends on YOU, how much work you put in it, however I will write a few steps that are extremely effective in generating quick traffic to an image hosting website. We all know the about 70% of the traffic is always looking for fun on internet, joining social networking website like MySpace, Orkut, Facebook etc, sharing pictures, looking for celebrity images etc. Now, the nature of our website is to target such people, so what we will do is find the website (specifically forums) where people are sharing pictures of celebrities, trust me the traffic suddenly goes up once you post 4-5 threads on such forums. 

You already agreed to spend 1-2 hours daily on this, so what you will do is visit a forum e.g. X1 forum, then find a specific thread where people are chatting and has too many views / replies, upload those pictures to your website, and then post those pictures on another forum e.g X2 with your own image hosting website link, that’s it. Just concentrate on 3-4 forums at a time, it will hardly take 1-2 hour per day but you will see a lot of traffic to your website, repeat the process for 20 days then you have some good stats to show and sell that site and move on to next website.

There are many forums that are specifically for celebrity images and are under 15K Alexa, receiving tons of traffic, we will just grab some traffic from them and sell our website.  If you manage to get 400-500 unique visitors per day you can sell it for $800-$1000. Good luck and do share your views and results. I love hearing from you :)..

As we already know that eBay is no more affiliated with commission junction. Well, I can tell you by my personal experience that with CJ, it was a lot easy to make money with eBay, but now at EPN it look a lot more easy to trick them. But you should know that when you mess with big companies you have to face big problems, anyways that’s not much related to the topic, I am writing about.

eBay affiliates’ commission with Commision Junction was higher !

A lot of people were using Commission Junction for promoting eBay products and were getting extremely good results, but since they moved to EPN, the revenue dropped dramatically. Personally I have seen a few of websites earning $700-$1000 from CJ were now earning $300-$400, and that’s a big drop, almost 50% drop in revenue. You can find out in the forums that a lot of people are reporting the same, because the EPN stats were not updating or there can be any problem with their tracking system as site used to earn $1000 form CJ (where CJ also cuts their commission) were now getting half of that. 

The month April was a disaster for many affiliate marketers with EPN, but in May I personally have noticed a slight increase in the revenue again but its no where near to what the sites were earning from eBay when associated with CJ.

eBay - Commission Junction (CJ) Alternative

There is one more interesting news that has made me think more about EPN is that eBaY has partnered with PepperJam Affiliate Network. wow - that’s a very good news for marketers like me and you, we can now join PepperJam, promote products and earn some more commission, I hope (as I have just started, I will post my results with pepperJam soon) it will have more advance tracking system than the current EPN solution.

pepperJam eBay Highlights: Make up to 75% of all the transactions and up to an additional $35 for every new active user you send to eBay. Pepperjam has in place a dedicated eBay affiliate management team to work with you in real-time to maximize your eBay revenue.  read more about their partnership with eBay.
