How To Make Your Living Online

If  you’ve been watching the economy for the past year or so then you realize that things are changing fast.  The days of being able to graduate from high school and find a job that pays you for life are over.  The days of being able to go from high school directly into University to earn a degree are rapidly coming to an end.  I would argue that today, pursuit of a degree is a monumental waste of time.  Everything that is wrong with society today has come to be this way because it was managed by idiots with degrees!

Today, if you have a degree you are sadly behind the times.  Your textbooks were at least five years out of date before you even cracked the cover, and your subject material is more than likely no longer accurate. We are living in an era where the big no longer eat the small.  It is the fast that eat the slow.

From here forward, it is all about skills and abilities.  You need to develop skills and abilities that will put money in your pocket every single day.  There is no better way to accomplish this than to develop the skills you need to be an internet marketer.

Every day there are stories of students who have taken up the cause of internet marketing and have become resounding success stories.  If you have a computer and the desire to succeed, then you have much of what it takes.  If building an online income, where  you can take home more in a month than many people make in a year appeals to you, then you just might be an internet marketer.   And if building an online income to you would feel more like “play” than “work”, then you certainly are an internet marketer.

Internet marketing is the only business that I know of where you can get started with next to nothing.  There is a ton of free stuff out there to get you going.  Belonging to a good “community” online, though, is a must.

I would highly recommend you check out the program below: (And when you do, go to the “About” tab and read the story. It could be you!)

IMGrind Community

These guys have done thing the right way. Join them for 6 months and treat it like a “university” degree program. You too will come out at the other side with the skills to earn $40,000 per month if you want!

Kindle Fire

Kindle FireJust when you thought it was safe to come out and play, they go and update the Kindle line of eBook readers.  The Kindle Fire is no ordinary upgrade.  This machine is like going from version 2 to version 5 in one jump!  What a fantastic little unit.  It is so functional and damn it looks sharp.

The original Kindle was good for sure.  But it was a bit vanilla right out of the box.  The Fire just looks outstanding the moment  you unwrap it.  Actually, it left me wondering if perhaps Steve Jobs had been secretly moonlighting over at Amazon!  Lol… The point is.. the Kindle Fire is a game changer.  Just take a look a the unit and it impressive list of features and I am certain that you will be impressed.

Internet Marketing Recession – Ads for Free

You know that things are looking very bleak in internet marketing when you get three offers from Google in two weeks that give you $100 up front to start

advertising with them again. Everywhere I go I find ads from Google to try to get people moving again. And the gurus, well, they have just gone stark raving mad! Even though I unsubscribed from all of Filsaime’s junk several months ago, I suddenly got bombarded yesterday with more of this crap. I had to spend the better part of 30 minutes just getting Spammy Filsaime out of my life.

And, sadly, yesterday marked the start of a new low in advertising. I am getting whacked by everyone who ever had my email address to buy this “Advertising for Life for Free” program. You might have seen this guy. I am not sure how long the video is, but he just goes on and on and one. I minimized my browser while I did more important work. When I was done, I noticed this nig-nog was till at it! Give me a break chump. STFU! What an idiot. Who the hell is going to fall for this stuff at this time in our economy? I’d like to have a sit down with the moron that dreamed this crap up. If I offend you, then bugger off. Go somewhere else for your tips and tricks. I hold nothing back. If the guy comes off like an idiot, I’m going to say so.

Affiliate Commissions The Right Way?

I’ve been affiliate marketing for ten  years, so when a guy like this comes along and does it the “right” way, I stand up and take notice.

Just 8 years ago.. This guy was sitting on his couch of his parents how with just $100 dollars to his name..

And NOW he’s trained over 77,000+ students and profited $16.2Million in affiliate commissions. And he’s SICK AND TIRED of the  way the industry is turning..

Just watch this video and find out why:

Commission Domination

Watch the video start to finish and all the way through, ask yourself: Does this make sense? If you are like the rest of us, you will know it does!


[August 8, 2011]  I will be purchasing the program today to test it.  I’ll run it for a few weeks and report back on how it works … or IF it works.  Nothing else has worked as advertised and I have no reason to believe that this one will be any different.  But Anik has a good money back offer so if it is mostly bullshit, then it will be refunded. And it that is the case, then maybe someday these “nig nogs” will learn to clean it up a bit.  On the other hand, if it does work, you will hear it first from me.  What I am NOT looking forward to is the lengthy run of “upsells” that I am certain Amit will trot out.  I’ll report on those later today after I buy it.

[August 10, 2011 - Post Purchase Review]

Ok, I bought it and tried it.  My opinion.  Not worth bothering with.  At least there were not too many upsells. That always pisses me off quite a bit.  This one seemed to only have one.  The material was passe.  I don’t need to pay for a system to bookmark 10 pages for me.  I already have better tools for finding domain names related to key words and I know about long tail keywords.  It is a simple make money formula that everyone already knows.  The only value in it might be the ping feature.  But.. for $2.97 I can get better ping from Pingler.com.  Overall, it was a real disappointment – given the quality of sales video that pitched it.  I’m out.

Rating:  2.5 out of 10

Use Video or Die

Hey, don’t shoot the messenger. The figures are in. Video is absolutely killing it. There is nothing quite like the power of video today to rank your product or website. The Justin Bieber (My World) video was seen by 500 Million viewers! This smashed all records – including the 11 million people who viewed the last Superbowl.  If you are not doing video or even aggregating video into your YouTube channel, then you are missing the boat!

I recently signed up for a course called “Hacking Youtube“. I am still in the testing phase, but let me tell you – there is no way anyone can compete with the social media power of video. And once you know how to get videos to work for you (even if they’re not yours!), you will drive more traffic than you can imagine!

If you are going to produce some of your own video, I’d recommend the Sanyo VPC-PD2BK Full HD Pocket Movie Dual Camera! It’s got HDMI out and is a full 1080P with outstanding lighting control. The PD2 delivers archival quality 1080 30p HD video, 10MP photos, and 3x optical zoom in a very small compact body style. The Sanyo Dual Camera PD2 delivers excellent results with multiple features normally found on high priced camcorders. The PD2 fit is about the size of a deck of cards, is extremely portable and easy to use. It delivers 3x optical zoom for both video / photos and includes face chasing technology which automatically reads and corrects the focus and lighting of the subjects in view. The PD2′s MPEG4/H.264 recording format, coupled with Sanyo’s built-in software application makes sharing videos and photos via social networking sites including Facebook, YouTube and Picassa a breeze. Capture more than just the moment. The PD2 allows you to easily capture and share memories.

MacBook Air Review

Apple MacBook AirI own a MacBook Pro 17″ – and love it to bits – but the MacBook Air may just be one of the best laptops of 11.6 inches on the market today. If you’ve never been tempted to take Apple for a run, then you might not fully understand the Apple family of computers. The Apple MacBook Air MC506LL / A 11.6-inch laptop is super light, fast, powerful and sexy looking – at least to this Geek! Update the previous model, the Apple MacBook Air MC506LL / A 11.6-inch laptop has 2 USB ports on the repeated requests of users – proving they really do listen!

The cumbersome, heavy and slow spinning hard drive is replaced by solid state flash memory.  Because of this, Apple now has a laptop weighing only 2.3 pounds. Toss it into your bag or briefcase and take off buddy!  You can’t hurt this puppy.  With battery life that ONLY APPLE can deliver, everyone else will be shutting down their PC’s on that long from coast to coast while you are still watching movies!

Product Features Include:

* 11.6-inch LED
* 128 GB of flash memory
* 1.4 GHz Core 2 Duo equipped
* 2 GB of RAM installed
* NVIDIA GeForce graphics card 320M
* Mac OS X Snow Leopard operating system
* Full-sized keyboard
* Long battery life
* 1 year warranty (which can be extended to 3 years with the AppleCare Protection Plan)

Benefits Include:

* Light, strong and fast performance
* Runs cool – even when they are sitting on your lap
* A great machine for video editing and photo
* Many energy saving features that can be used to prolong battery life longer
* The Ultimate Mac OS X Snow Leopard operating system – probably one of the best operating systems available

Cons (Almost an Oxymoron with Apple…)

* The price! All this wonderful technology Apple will make a heavy dent in your wallet.
* The speakers are not the best sound – but after all, it’s a laptop!
* The battery is internal. This has some drawbacks – a being who can not carry a spare with you. The second is that when he finally gives the soul, you must return the laptop to Apple for a new assembly.

If you want a laptop with all the features to carry with you 24/7, the Apple MacBook Air MC506LL/A 11.6-inch laptop is definitely worth your consideration. If you want a laptop for photo editing, games, documents and spreadsheets, or simply the creation in general for all uses, then what that really means all this and more. One thing you will be satisfied with almost immediate start-up, standby and shutdown. It is through memory and flash storage is a welcome change from the long wait for a hard disk drive to spin. And because it also includes integrated Bluetooth technology, wireless devices can be connected wherever you are.

Why is The MacBook Air Worth Buying?

Because you value being able to pick it up and run.  You like it that you can do all of your stuff while your buddies are constantly worrying about viruses and either reinstalling their Windows 7 every six months or looking for bug fixes, patches and updates.

You open the lid and start using it right away!  You are suddenly 4 times more productive at everything you do. If you use if for work, then your peers and supervisors at work are beginning to think you are some kind of “guru”.  How do you get it all done? You don’t tell them because you kind of like being on top of the pile for a change!  You bought a MacBook Air and you know that in the long run, it actually costs you less than those cheap plastic pieces of junk PCs that wear out in 6 months!  Moreover, you’ve seen the line ups at the PC repair shops that resemble the lineups for your favorite rock concert!

You, my friend, have tickets to the backstage – and you’re loving it!

 




Potential Fraud Alert

I noticed a trend recently.  The presence of webinars has increased substantially.  The pitch on these webinars has also ramped up.  The sales process is much more tuned to closing the deal now than it ever was before.  The webinar presenters are also using some very appealing techniques to get you to optin to their programs.

However, for the first time in ten years, I ran into what I believe is a “Blueprinted” or canned system to help you start earning money online that has been either copied, pirated or simply sold off as a PLR (private label rights) or MRR (Master Resell Rights) program.

Part of my business is testing and reviewing these programs as they are released so that you don’t have to!  Today, I want to draw your attention to a program you should be very wary of.

In mid April I purchased Xtreme Profit Robot.  Three days later I purchased “AutoWealthMaker”.  I got right into the Xtreme Profit Robot and had finished studying all 11 modules by the time I purchased AutoWealthMaker.   When I logged onto AutoWealthmaker, I was a bit confused. I ran into the exact same back end with all of the learning modules that I have found in Xtreme Profit Robot.  It wasn’t just similar material.  It was EXACTLY the same.  The only difference between the two programs was the front end login page.

I immediately asked for a refund from AutoWealthMaker since it was the last one I joined.  Only fair right?  Well, they were very difficult to deal with.  It took me about 8 days and 20 emails before I finally got them to “tap out”.  In the meantime, I also refunded the first program.

Why did I refund both?  Essentially, these two programs are just fancy interfaces to drag you through the process of identifying a niche market, conducting the research to prove viability, securing a domain, and launching a blog to support marketing products in your chosen niche.

I found the instruction to be be way too long and way too boring.  The guy goes on and on about nothing.  I began to realize there is a need for this information to be put in a short book that includes links to a couple of spreadsheets and contains lists of all of the resources needed.

Today, May 6th, I found another webinar pitching the same program yet again.  This time it is called  “Commission Siphon”.  Once again, the back end is exactly the same.  The voice is the same chappy with an English accent.

Curious, I went to the whois.com server.  I found that Commission Siphon is registered at Godaddy (owned by the guy who slaughtered that elephant recently).  People use this service because it is unfriendly to prying eyes.  What are you hiding boys?

One of the keys to this guy’s product is that is that they have build in “tunnels to your wallet!”  They need you to buy credits for “insight” reports etc.  Their flagship module is a content management system that lets you create websites quite quickly.  However, it pales in comparison to a resource I’ve been using for years.  In fact, it looks like a cheap knock-off!

It looks like all three of them are hosted at Godaddy.  I bought the first one for $39.  I bought the second one for $47 and the third (which I won’t buy) is listed at $997!

This development is particularly annoying.  It shows us now that we really have to be careful when the gurus start trotting out back end system that are supposed to help you automate many of the things you need to do to earn money online.

My advice:  If  you see any of these three – Run like hell!
