The title of this post means that anyone can do it; of course, I’m not at all suggesting that there are idiots on the WF. If I can see any kind of success online, most of you will be able to as well, as I have no more skills than the majority of you, just the ability (that has been learned!) on how to put them all into place.

First off, let me talk a little bit about the product, one you’ll have seen enough of if you’ve visited this blog in the last few days - the website flipping guide, Flip Noobs that I recently put out. It was my first mass marketed launch in the IM niche for ages, so I was (to be honest) unsure how it would do.

As of today, it’s done pretty well - nothing spectacular, but pretty well. Anyways, sales from this blog started dropping, as I didn’t want to keep pushing it - I promoted it once, and then just made a few mentions in posts. I did however want to test out a WSO to see if it would do well.

I paid for my WSO thread, and then quickly wrote up a ’sales thread’ - you can see this here. This took me around twenty minutes to write, and personally, I’m not that great of a mass market product sales copy writer… so this is nothing spectacular. This went live on November 14th.

What were my costs?

Twenty dollars and twenty minutes of my time.

What were my rewards?

So far, there have been more than 30 sales that I can directly attribute to the WSO.

30 x $14.95 = $448.5

That’s more than twenty times my initial investment. How’s that for a return on investment? Since that has been created all I had to do is answer one simple question - everything else is money without having to do any work (while I’m sleeping, eating… it’s coming in ).

The thing is, any of you could replicate that, as long as you create a solid product (and this doesn’t have to be an eBook! - people have sold scripts, software, access to membership sites, services and various other hings on there), if you stick it up and it’s decent it will sell.

When I wrote that WSO I had less than 150 posts on the Warrior Forum, no signature at the time, not even a avatar! However, I made sure I had a catchy title that people would click through to, made sure I didn’t overhype the product at all, and made sure I mentioned at the start who would benefit most from this product. Result - decent sales. Of course, they would have been a lot, lot better had I worked on the above criteria.

There are people making a full time living ($5,000 a month or more) JUST by using the WSO forum. Of course, those products tend to be higher value than your average $10 - $20 eBook, and those marketers tend to be a lot better known… however that doesn’t mean you can’t see similar results to what I have or better.

Browse the main discussion area (or other webmaster forums), see what people are interested in, create a short report on it. Price it at $7, and you should treble your listing fee at the very least. The great thing about the forum is also that there is plenty of advice, and helpful marketers that you can network with - you’ll find relationships very important if you ever decide to do a full scale product launch. However, if you are a newbie I’d suggest you NOT visit the WSO main section as there are a truckload of top quality offers and it is very simple to get addicted to buying them.

I’m going to prepare a series on product flips soon, recently bought into a few services that I’m testing and will post about if they’re decent. Product flips are easier than your standard site flips, the ones I’ve talked about, and the best thing is… they tend to fetch more money too. Especially if they have revenue already. Selling a product for a few hundred (I’m talking $300 - $500+) is not at all difficult, and if you outsource it… it’s even easier. The good thing is, that you can create a product with all tools entirely free, bar the domain and hosting.

My first product was created in something like twenty minutes and was sold for $5, and yes it did sell well for a beginner (around 20 - 30 sales I think, so $100 - $150 in revenue) - this was at the very beginning of my IM ‘career’ where I had less experience than you do now. For those that are interested, it was on domain flips… I believe some of you bought it.

I think that most would be happy with anything over $100 in profit, and once you have a first successful launch it’s fairly easy to take it from there, see what you did wrong and continually improve. Good luck, and as always if you have any questions… let me know below.

Anyways, to help them out here’s some links you should check out. This will be the first and last link love on this blog for a few months, so sorry for those that want to be featured in future - I’ve got 1,000 readers, and if I featured everyone that asked then this blog would have way too many links being put up.

First off Danny from Linkers Blog wrote up a pretty hefty post on his results from blog commenting - an increase of over 200 subscribers in a month, a lot of backlinks, traffic and exposure and some friendships that will hopefully be long lasting. He also has a product out which is advertised at the end of the post - I have not read it so cannot comment.

If you’re interested in finding out more about how to make money blog commenting, you can read two earlier posts I wrote - one of which made a complete newbie to the field around $1,000 his first week and many others a few hundred dollars in the weeks after that. You can make money blog commenting by building links for cash, or by promoting affiliate products.

Next up, Adam from Creadiv recently released a Wordpress theme made specifically for Adsense, which is pretty cool - you can use it on your niche sites. You got to opt in to get it, but if you need something like that it’s worth doing. You can demo the theme here. In future though, I’d suggest the theme be created with multiple colour styles and without sponsored footer links - they tend to do more harm than good.

Most of you know of IM With Joe because he’s a lil insane because he’s all over the place, but he’s taking part in a competition with another blogger and wanted me to help him out by pointing all of you to his site. There’s good, and usually pretty humourous content there so check it out and watch a few of the videos.

Trent from SPMM is running his first ever major contest where you can win an adult content website. If you’re interested in adult (there is a TONNE of money there, if you work it right) check it out, as all you have to do is sign up under him and generate some cash. I can’t direct link to his site because the government here blocks anything to do with adult ( ) but visit his homepage and you’ll find the contest.

There have been a few reviews of Flip Noobs going up, and even more purchases - thanks to all that did, and if you need any help you know where to go. Sales have surprised even me, considering I’m not really actively promoting it myself. The Warrior Forum is a gold mine that anyone can tap - I will be putting out a post on this soon.

Lastly, I’m not going to really do ‘news’ type link love posts in the future, but I will promote solid, useful, posts that will help my readers make money. If you’ve written one of those, and want a mention on a 1,000+ RSS reader blog, send me an email and I’ll post about your blog. For free.

The last week has been a bit rubbish in terms of content to read but some big stuff is coming up soon. I’ll probably be using the lightbox plugin for a bit, to increase subscribers - I know it pisses a few off, but I’m going to set it to show once per IP and make up for any hassle by providing a slick (FREE) eBook that you guys will be able to benefit from should you opt in. I haven’t written it yet, and this will be written by me - I wanted to know if you guys had any specific idea you wanted discussed. Let me know!

Thought I’d put out a short blog post as this would be easier to get attention than updating the last one, and / or doing it manually.

To all those that emailed me, or talked to me on instant messenger before this post, you’re probably in, I have already started working with around ten of you and early signs are good. Some blogs have already started receiving traffic. If some of the people I’m working with agree, maybe some blogs will be posted on here so you guys can follow them ‘live’.

To all others, sorry that I can’t accomodate anyone, there are only so many spare hours in a day and I’m a tad lazy. If this goes well, will hopefully do more of it in the future.

The new theme should go up before the end of this week. To the rest of you, keep cracking, and good luck!

Secondly, I’m looking to launch a full scale offline ‘attack’ over here in Dubai… if you’re a blogger or marketer here, or know some that stay here, tell them to get in touch. Lots of exposure, and eventually lots of money made too hopefully.

Now… on to the topic of this post.

I’ve continually talked about this, and everyone that reads this blog knows that site flipping is big right now. People are interested too, as I’ve seen in decent sales for my site flipping guide.

However, some people can’t learn from products… they want a more ‘hands on’ approach. The thing is, those people tend to be newbies, so they can’t afford the $1,000 odd coaching classes from experienced marketers.

Where this ties in with me is that I have a lot of free time on my hands… for the next month, at least. I’ve outsourced almost everything of my online business, so I’m doing relatively nothing myself. No work for money is always good, but that could be increased

Anyways, here’s the deal. A few of you have asked me about something like this before, but since I’ve been busy I tended to turn down most offer. However, now that I’m not busy, I can do more of these.

Basically, I’ll set you up - hosting, a domain, install Wordpress and various plugins for you, let you use Aweber to create an autoresponder series, a premium theme and custom logo should you need it, as well as being on instant messenger for advice should you need it.

YOU will have to promote the blog and write content. One post a day for a month. No slacking. You will however have me on hand to ask questions, advice etc should you need it.

At the end of the month, we sell the blog (I’ll cover listing fees) and split profit 50/50. Could be $100, could be $500, could be $1,000 - $2,000+… depends on how hard you work at it.

How does this benefit you? You get yourself setup without having to spend any capital of your own, and get the full blogging experience. You can use the things you learn for future site flips, where you do not need to use me and you’ll keep 100% of the profits.

How does this benefit me? I get to help people out without having to charge up front for it, get good will and in the end, if you use my tactics fully… MORE income than I would selling a $47 product. 10-20 success stories of people combined making $XX,XXX+ will also work very well in the future should I eventually decide to launch such a product.

What will you need? Although I’d love to be able to take on anyone, I can’t. However the base requirements are very easy.

You’ll need to be able to write half decently (not world class or Shakespearean writing, but readable) and be able to dedicate 1-2 hours per day to work on your blog. Nothing else. You’ll likely not have to work the whole of that time, but as it’s your first (maybe first successful) $1,000+ flip, I want you to get the basic strategies that you can use over and over and over again. If you cannot do either, please do not contact me. Lastly, you’ll need to have some sort of instant messenger (email is a pain)

Anyways, I’ll be taking on ten people most probably, twenty tops. If you want to start learning (we can get it working today), contact me… for a partnership that will (hopefully) benefit us both.

Been busy of late with the launch and with a few Internet problems. Arsenal won too, which is always good. - had a little time to write this up

Forums are the easiest way to promote a new site.

Especially large ones.

Every day, you get people asking on the very forums they should be “stealing” traffic from… “how do I promote my site”?

The problem is, a lot of people, including those that read this blog think that IM / MMO is the only way forward. IM / MMO is a very, very, very easy niche to do well in, if you work it right… however, when starting out a different niche is better to go for. Which niche? That’s entirely up to you.

Why other niches? The thing is, people in the IM niche are constantly being sold to… they’re preconditioned to avoiding ads, preconditioned to be wary of affiliate links and more knowledgeable than your average web user. If you recommend a product to an IM-wary user, they’ll usually wonder whether you’re doing so solely because it’s a good product, or only because it pays a better commission than product B (and so they should wonder).

Whereas you recommend a product to a non IM-wary user and they’ll check it out, buy it if they have a need… as long as you cloak your affiliate link, they’ll probably use it simply because they don’t know how not to.

Anyways, on to forums.

You can grow your blog(s) entirely using forums. I did this for this very blog, simply because when I started out I had no idea what social networking / bookmarking, comments, contests and various other things were. I didn’t even know what RSS stood for and still don’t.

At its peak, this blog was getting around 4,000 - 5,000 uniques per month JUST from forums.

Of course, you need to do this carefully. Forums can be a huge time waster if you’re not careful - you can easily promise to spend just ten minutes on one and find yourself a couple hours later having nothing done.

How should you get the most out of forums? For me, it’s pretty simple really.

Out of every five minutes you are on a forum, you should be doing at least one thing that benefits you.

Some may think that this is selfish, but let me explain.

Putting out a high quality forum post does benefit you, as people will grow used to them and trust you to be a knowledgeable and high quality source of information.

Changing your avatar to something catchy benefits you.

Having an interesting signature benefits you.

As long as you can see that there is enough interest in the niche, start a blog on that topic. Promote the blog on the forum for a month, producing 1-3 quality articles on that blog per week (these can/should be outsourced, of course) and at the end of that month promote a high quality information product. If your reputation is reasonably good on the forum, and the posts you’ve done on the blog are good too, your conversions will be awesome.

Next step? Flip the blog.

Rinse, repeat, over and over and over and over and over again.

Of course, if you’re lazy… *cough* you can outsource the posting on the forums. You should aim to pay around $0.10 per post, each around 10 - 20 words long and all on the topic of the forum (none in general chat etc). You want around 500 - 1,000 posts on the forum (more or less depending on the size). Make sure you make use as much as possible of whatever’s allowed to help you stand out - avatar, signature, blog feed, different colour text in posts and so on.

The great thing is, that once you build up this reputation on forums, it remains… unless you do anything stupid of course. You can market new sites, promote other products, link to your other sites to get them indexed fast and so on.

Building backlinks. If the forum is dofollow, each post with your signature link enabled counts as ONE backlink to your site. So 1,000 posts = 1,000 backlinks. Of course, most forums allow you to have 4-5 signature links, meaning that you can help along multiple sites at the same time. You can even sell your signature links - again, signature links on ‘niche’ forums tend to sell for more than they would on IM-knowledgeable forums, since users tend to be less unaware and signature links will get clicked more.

Having backlinks also adds value to a site, and you can easily agree with a buyer to keep the link there for X months even after the site is sold. Remember, everything that adds value is good.

You can even create and promote your own product, as if you’re reputed enough and market yourself as an ‘expert’ in the niche (outsourcing IS king) people will buy from you. Of course, make sure the product itself is of high quality and if you don’t know what you’re talking about, make sure the person that you outsource to DOES know what they’re talking about. You could even build a list through a catchy signature link on forums alone.

Forums should provide you with multiple ideas… if you’re not milking them already, you’re missing out. Get to it!

Make Money With NeverBlue Ads

Are you looking for a way to earn good money online? If so, and you are tired of trying and failing at other methods, it may be time to turn to freelance writing. While writing for online clients may not be the most desirable job as a freelancer, it can go a long way in helping you earn money for projects that you are more interested in.

Here are three benefits of writing for online clients:

1. Low startup costs. What do you need? Generally speaking, if you have a computer and an internet connection you are on your way. There is no domain to buy or site to setup. For aspiring entrepreneurs with no money, the low barrier of entry is something to keep in mind.

2. Don’t I have to be a great writer to earn money? For the most part, if you have a good handle on the English language you will do just fine. Notice the word good. You don’t have to be the next great novelist in order to earn money online via writing. As long as you can produce well written, error free, easy to read content you are in good shape.

3. There are many ways to find clients. Content is king on the web, and there are many companies and webmasters hiring writers, just like you, to produce well written articles. You can locate clients through cold emails and forums, as well as many other avenues such as cold calls.

Believe it or not, you can earn big money writing online. Many are surprised to find success so early in their writing career. You can decide to start writing today, and be earning money within a few hours. And if you have any sort of patience, within a few months you will be well on your way to establishing a client base.

Even if you don’t earn big money by writing online, you can earn a nice supplemental income. This “side income” can help you get bigger projects off the ground, or you can simply the extra cash to fund your entertaining lifestyle.

All in all, there is no denying that you can earn a lot of money by writing for web based clients. Are you ready to get started?

This is a paid review and not really influenced much by me getting paid. If you’re interested in ordering advertising on this blog, check out the advertise page.

When you think of setting up standard niche affiliate sites, it usually strikes me as a boring activity… especially if you do it yourself. Finding products, tweaking the template, getting content, just setting it up really - it can take a lot of time. When you’re starting out, it can be difficult to outsource if you want to go the bulk option, as you don’t really have the money to do so.

This is where StoreStacker comes in. StoreStacker is basically an affiliate product store script, created with the newbie in mind. No longer do you have to struggle for hours with code that you don’t get - all you need to do is use their interface and you can generate niche stores on the fly.

Claiming to have more than 10,000,000 products, StoreStacker already have the likes of Clickbank, eBay and Amazon available for integration, which means that you save time. Of course, the more time you save, the more profitable you are and the more money you can make.

It currently costs $97 for an unlimited domain license, however addons cost extra ($25 apiece). Of the addons, I’d recommend getting the Clickbank one and the article one, so even with them that’s only $150 total, and you can use it on as many sites as you want. To encourage people to purchase the addons, perhaps StoreStacker should run a promotion - buy one addon, get the second at half price / free.

What StoreStacker aims to do is help you better your affiliate experience - and they definitely do that, with you getting full control over how you want the site to look like (12 different templates), what products you want, and what kind of content you want (articles or videos, or both) that will help your stores rank easier in the search engines.

You don’t have to work on search engine optimization on your own though - the backend comes with SEO features that are important but will pass many newbies by - keyword tags, google sitemaps and so on. Get one of these on the front page of Google for a competitive term, and you’re making money.

If you want to see what it looks like before you purchase, they have a set of Camtasia videos showing you the interface - both front and backend. There are also videos instructing you exactly what to do after you purchase the product - everything from how to install it to how to tweak it so that you can get the maximum amount out of your store. Lastly, there is a member forum (which looks reasonably active) and a support centre so that you can get any problems you have sorted out, as well as ask for advice on how to best use it.

In conclusion - if you do like working with affiliate marketing, and want a simple way to generate a lot of high quality ones, StoreStacker is definitely worth the purchase. $97 is nothing for an unlimited domain license, as you could build up traffic to your sites and sell them for a hefty amount. You can purchase it here if you feel it would help grow your business.

What do you think of StoreStacker, and do you have any feedback for the creator (Scott)? Let him know through the comments section below.

There are ALWAYS good products available. Sometimes you just want to have a look at them all, but can’t afford to.

When I started out, there were dozens of things I wanted to buy, but due to me not having the money (I was making a couple hundred a month, so spending $50 on a coaching course or product would be silly) I couldn’t.

However, I have used this strategy to get products free, multiple times. And the best thing is that this is 100% legal.

Some of you probably do this for music and movies, and IM-products too… you go to warez forums and ask for the download link. I used to use warez when I started out, and I’m not proud of it… I stopped after seeing one of my own products ripped and realising that dozens were profiting from my hard work. Without me receiving a dime.

Of course, that’s how other product creators feel too. I am NOT recommending warez, it is not a good thing and you’ll only realise how bad it is if you ever launch a product of your own and see it stolen.

However, I am going to teach you how you can get products free. For example, for my product I’ve said that anyone with a blog that has 200 subscribers will get a copy of the product free in exchange for a review. But what if you don’t have a blog?

This will usually work for any product you try. Unlike mine, most products tend to have a pre-made list of people to contact for free copies, that is joint venture partners. Either established affiliates, or other product creators, or large blog owners.

However, you may not fall into any of those categories. You can however still get the product free - legally - if you’re willing to put in a little effort for it.

Contact the owner of the product in question, and send them a PERSONALIZED email. Find out their name, the name of the product and so on.

Remember, this is a business they’re running, and they have to treat it as one. They can’t just send copies to anyone that asks and promises a text testimonial. So you have to go above and beyond the norm. Here’s a few things you can do…

Want a product? Tell a product owner (and follow through) that you’d be willing to give a full 2-3 paragraph testimonial if he sent you a copy to look over, along with a short audio recommendation.

Want a product? Tell a product owner (and follow through) that you’d be willing to create a honest video testimonial that s/he could use to market it.

Want a product? Tell a product owner that you’ll make sure that their product is linked to on a blog with X,XXX - XX,XXX+ subscribers. How can you do this, without paying for a review? Simple - write a high quality blog post, send it in as a guest post and link to the sales page in your author blurb.

Want a product? Tell the product owner (and follow through) that you’d be willing to create five articles, and submit them to article directories on the related topics in the niche.

Want a product? Tell them you’ll submit the sales page to X directories, ask them if they need help with design (if you have some skills there) or coding (if you have some skills there).

Want a product? Tell the product creator that you have X hours to dedicate daily, would be willing to have a real go at it (until it works) and when it did, would send in screenshot proof (as well as an audio / video testimonial) of your success. Nothing sells a product better than solid third party testimonials…. even more with proof.

Most product owners will be more than happy enough to send you a copy completely free if you do one of the things above, or offer them something that HELPS them. And the good thing is, that rather than ripping off someone’s hard spent time and money, you’re actually helping them. I’ve made friends with people that had never heard my name, or even knew who I was… friends with people that are a lot more established than I am through this, and they’ve passed on advice that has helped me further advance my internet business.

All of the above ideas will cost you less than it would to purchase (usually), even if you outsource and you have the chance of making friends, marketing yourself and so on. By doing something that benefits the product owner, you’re benefiting yourself… if not more.

Good luck! I hope the stuff talked about here helped and that some of you will actually use it. Remember, it doesn’t have to be an IM-product, you can do this for other niches, but you will have to tweak the approach a bit.

Make Money With NeverBlue Ads

After countless nagging over instant messenger, email and even a few Skype calls, I’ve returned to the IM product zone… and this website flipping report will blow your mind.

I’ve packed a lot of my knowledge into this report, including some tips and techniques that you’ll have never seen before.

The product is 50+ pages long, comes with a slick bonus report written by me (related to site flipping) that will make you more money. It also has a money back guarantee and after sales support… at a price that you just can’t miss out on.

For just $14.95 (introductory price), you’ll get it instantly delivered to your email. If you’ve been wanting to start site flipping, but haven’t had a clue where to begin… it’s time for that to change!

You can order through the sales page (and see a few testimonials) here. Let me know if you have any questions

A lot of you know that I don’t really do much affiliate marketing, because of two reasons… for products, I prefer going direct (getting my own product outsourced and keeping 100% of the profits, the reputation, the list that you can sell to) and secondly because the area I live in is not that great for online marketing… the postal service is shit, and most affiliate networks have never heard of the UAE, much less allow people from there to join them. I’ve also had problems getting credit cards and the like because of my age.

Anyways, I recently got myself a credit card that has a $5,000 limit to start with, which will be increased if I do well… I’m going to start PPC affiliate marketing again, because it’s something I’ve always wanted to have a serious go at, and that was difficult in the past with vouchers or low limit credit cards. However, I’m ready to go, and I’m going to start with the common poll ==> email / zip submit method that most of you will have heard of at the very least, however I’ll be putting a little twist on it. I’ve got the credit card for PPC, bought myself Poll Factory (which is pretty sweet and newbie friendly… I will review it in a couple weeks time probably), however the one thing I’m lacking is the variety of offers.

When I started out, I signed up for most affiliate networks, however haven’t used them in ages and forgotten details for most of them. At the moment, the main ones I’m going to have a go with are NeverBlue Ads and Market Leverage, but it’s always good to have more options, and I want as many offers as possible to choose from.

So here’s your chance - let me know of a good affiliate network and why people should sign up for it, and I’ll join through your affiliate link. You can do this in the comments section of this post, and the better you promote it the more likely others will sign up for it to. I do know a few names (Motive Interactive, for example, which I will probably be checking out) but I’d like to see personal experiences - it doesn’t matter whether you’ve made $50,000+ or $0.5 or less with them, I want to know what you think - how they’ve treated you, range of offers, and so on. I’m primarily looking for email / zip offers but will be expanding into other areas so the more, the better.

You can also email me suggestions - thanks in advance for your help!
