Internet Money-Making Secrets Revealed!

Well, you've come to the RIGHT PLACE! There are literally thousands of MLM's, chain-letters, other time-wasters out there, and, if you're like me you've squandered your valuable resources (time, energy, money) on more than a few of them. Don't you wish that there was someone who would just cut through all the BS and present you with some REAL opportunities that ACTUALLY WORK?!? Well, that's just what I'm going to do. In addition, I'm going to give you the benefit of my experiences in making money on-line. These are lessons I have learned, mostly through mine and other people's mistakes. They are concepts that you MUST UNDERSTAND in order to make money on the internet or anywhere else. Some people want you to PAY for this knowledge, but I'm giving it away for FREE. Why? Because it is something I wish somebody had done for ME before I got started. Sure, you could just skip down to the business opportunities at the bottom of the page, but you'll be short-changing yourself.

Okay, let's clear the air and talk about a few things:

Don't Believe the Hype!! - A dose of reality.

Here's a rule of thumb that I use when I evaluate an opportunity: Take the ridiculous income claim from the SPAM or website and divide it by 10. This will give you a more realistic value for the amount of money the average person can make. Why do you do this? SPAM and websites are basically advertisements, and all advertisements EXAGGERATE. If ONE PERSON in the program made $90,000 one month, then they can put that figure on the advertisement and it would be true. The AVERAGE PERSON's income from the program will be much less, and even then you'll have to work for it. Why divide by ten? A wise man once said: "I may not be the best at everything, but I can do 10 percent of what ANY man can do." (Really, somebody said that.) So, what does that leave you with? If a program says you can make $5000 a month, then you can figure that, with the proper planning and effort, you can pull in $500 a month. It isn't the $5000 that the MLM or whatever promised, but it ain't pocket-change either. What would YOU do with an extra $500 a month? Set this amount as your goal, and, once you achieve it, THEN try for the $5000. Well, if you're only making $500 a month, then how are you going to quit your crappy day job??? That brings me to my next topic -

Multiple Streams of Income.

"Multiple Streams of Income" is NOT an original concept. It comes from Robert Allen (a millionaire). Basically the theory goes like this: Your total income should NEVER be dependent on only ONE source. That's like having a business with only ONE client. Stupid, right? Yet that's exactly what most people do... their total income is completely dependent on their ONE job. What you need is MULTIPLE sources of income: A job, an MLM, and maybe two or three internet businesses that you run on the side. And eventually, when your other sources or 'streams' of income are established and healthy, you can use them to supplement and/or REPLACE the income from your crappy day job. In other words... you QUIT. You will no longer be dependent on the whims and moods of idiotic bosses and co-workers. You'll be FREE! And you can use that extra time to start EVEN MORE businesses to make EVEN MORE money! So, here's the point: you will probably never be able to quit your job if you only have ONE internet business. (Yes, with luck and hard work it might happen, but don't hold your breath. And even if it DID happen, you're still depending on ONE company...) What you need is two, three, or four internet businesses that are each sending you $250 - $1000 every month. This can be done. You'll put in a lot of effort to get started, but once you are established you'll be generating this income with just a FEW HOURS a week devoted to each business. So, what do you have to do to start making this money? That's what I'm going to talk about next -

Goals.

Next is the topic of GOALS. You MUST have these, not just for internet businesses, but for ANYTHING you want to do in life. Without knowing the specifics of the program(s) that you are in, I can't really tell you what goal to set, but I CAN tell you HOW TO SET ONE. A goal has to be SPECIFIC, REALISTIC, and it has to have an ACTION PLAN associated with it. It should also have a TIME LIMIT.

Here's a BAD goal: "I'm going to make $10,000 a month with YYY internet business."
Why is this bad? It's (probably) not realistic, has no action plan, and no time limit.

Here's a GOOD goal: "In four months, I'm going to have an income of $500 per month from YYY internet business. I am going to spend one hour every night promoting my free website. I will start by submitting to the search engines and Free-For-All links pages. Then I will move on to the Free classified AD services. Then..."

Can you tell the difference? Good. This brings us to my next point-

Advertising

You can have 100 money-making websites, but it you don't advertise correctly you won't make ONE DIME!! You can't just sit back and wait for the money to start rolling in all by itself... you'll be waiting a LOOOOONNG time! You have to advertise your site(s). And not only that... you have to help your clients and downline members advertise THEIR sites so they won't get discouraged and quit on you. How do you advertise? What do I mean by adverstising 'correctly'? The following is what I have learned FROM EXPERIENCE:

Don't waste time on search engines. "WHAT!?! THIS GOES AGAINST EVERYTHING I'VE EVER HEARD ABOUT INTERNET MARKETING!!!" Right. Here's why... The search engines are already SWAMPED with thousands of websites EXACTLY LIKE YOURS! No matter what keywords or fancy META tags you use, your site will STILL get lost in the crowd. Instead, just concentrate on the top five or six search engines (yahoo, webcrawler, infoseek, alta-vista, hotbot, etc.) Use keywords and META tags to ensure that you get a decent listing on these, but don't spend hours registering your website at every single search engine you can find. If you find yourself USING a search engine to FIND OTHER search engines for you to submit to... you need to take a break, watch some TV, and generally get a life. Think about it... If YOU have never heard of a search engine, then WHY ARE YOU REGISTERING YOUR SITE THERE?? Chances are, no one else has heard of it EITHER! Don't spend your hard-earned money on one of those multiple-search engine submission services, unless you've already make enough cash that you can afford to waste some just to generate 3 extra hits a month.

So if search engines are a wasted effort, how do you get hits at your site? Most visitors reach your site via links from OTHER SITES, and the best way to have your link appear on as many sites as possible is through the proper use of Free-for-all Link pages. If you've never heard of FFA link pages, here's one. The general idea is that you can submit your link and it will appear on that page until either 1) the page goes down, or 2) your link is scrolled off. Some pages only allow a certain number of links before the older links are erased. Therefore, it is good to submit to the FFA pages regularly. How many pages should you submit to? About 400 would be a good start. "WHAT!?!? That would take all year!!" Yes, it would. Which is why you should invest in a FFA submission service like Autolink. Autolink submits two URLs a day to 400 FFA pages. I use it every day. Membership is $20 for one month, but the price is cheaper if you buy more months. ($45 for six months.) If you shop around you might be able to find a better deal with another service, but I doubt it. "WHAT!?!? I THOUGH THE IDEA WAS NOT TO SPEND MONEY!!??" I never said that. Look... if you are running a business, you HAVE to advertise. You can do all your advertising yourself for free, but that would literally take a whole year. (I gave up after a few months.) It's okay to do your own search engine and Classified AD submissions, but when it comes to FFA's it is WELL WORTH the money to pay someone else to do it for you. If you absolutly INSIST on doing it yourself, then you'll need to visit my list of over 350 FFA pages. Just click on a link and the FFA page should open in a new browser window. After you've worn youself out, be sure to come back here.

"So if I do this FFA thing I'll get hits, right?"
Well, no. You have to be creative. The FFA's allow you to type in your own text to go with the link. It is usually one line, which is plenty of room to be creative. What do I mean by 'creative'?

Don't say:

"Excellent business opportunity"

"Double or Triple your current Income! Try this business TODAY!"

Which link would YOU click on? Both will generate hits if they are placed on enough FFA pages, but the second one is more of an attention-grabber. Can't get those creative juices flowing? Browse a few FFA pages and see which links grab YOUR attention. Then copy and/or modify them for your own use.

And finally, let's talk about bulk-email. Yes... SPAM. SPAM is not illegal (yet!) and it DOES work. SPAM works REALLY WELL! Depending on how you do it, SPAM can also get your website yanked and your ISP mad at you. SPAM is a way to build up business quick, but if your are not comfortable with the idea, DON'T DO IT. Here are a few tips should you decide to go ahead:

1. STAY OFF THE NEWSGROUPS! Those people don't play around. Leave them alone.
2. Save any SPAM you receive and add the 'reply to:' address to your mailing list. These people are spammers themselves, so they PROBABLY won't mind too much if you introduce them to your opportunity.
3. Delete any address that ends in .mil, or .edu.
4. If you buy a mailing list (expensive!), try to buy one that is "opt-in." This means that the people on the list have volunteered to receive SPAM.
5. Do your SPAMing from another email address besides your permanent one. If you can, do it from another ISP.
6. Don't send 10,000 emails at one time from ANY ISP! Not only will they pull your account, but they just might hunt you down and KILL YOU! There is special software for bulk email. Until you can afford to buy it, stick to emails of 100 recipients or less.
7. Always have a back-up website and e-mail address. And a backup ISP if you can afford it. If you send bulk SPAM once or twice just to get started, you will probably be okay. If you make a habit out of it, you WILL get yanked. Don't think you can hide behind a 'free' email account, either. People CAN TRACE YOU even if you are using email accounts like hotmail. (Although, if you used an anonymizer whenever you logged in...)
8. Don't be greedy! You set a goal, remember... once you reach it, STOP! Don't keep SPAMMING just for the hell of it.
9. Anyone else have any tips?

I should now take the time to say that I will NEVER present a business that REQUIRES CONSTANT SPAMMING in order to make money. Unsolicited bulk email will generate hits and profits, but it is NOT something to base your business on.

Now how else can you advertise on-line without going broke? The two remaining ways that I know of are banner-exchanges and Classified Ads
Banner exchanges: A good idea, but you need some artistic creative talent to really make it work for you. Free Classified Ads: It's a good idea to develop one or two good ADs for each of your businesses, and post them on as many Free Classified AD boards as you can. But be warned... a lot of people use these ads to find email addresses, so prepare yourself for a lot of SPAM. The links at the bottom of this page contain some resources that can help you locate lots of free Classified Ad sites.

And now...

We're almost ready to look at some internet businesses that HAVE ACTUALLY MADE ME MONEY. These are programs that I am currently involved in. When I select a business to join, I have certain criteria I look for:

1. It MUST make me money. (obviously)
   Doesn't matter how much or how little, since most claims are over-inflated anyway. Plus, as with anything in life, the amount you make in any business depends on YOUR EFFORTS. Yes, this is even true for MLM's. What I want is a monthly paycheck. The time and effort I spend should determine how large the check is.
2. Little or no money up front.
   No outlandish 'membership' or 'processing fees' that I have to pay up front. If there IS a fee, it had better be small and/or I want to be able to pay it AFTER I start making money.
3. Little or no monthly outlay of cash. (especially MLM's)
   Don't make me buy $50 or $100 worth of crap every month just to get paid. $10 to $15 is acceptable, but I prefer $0! If a monthly purchase is necessary, then it must be able to be delayed until my income from the program can cover the costs.
4. Very little effort on my part.
   First, notice that I didn't say "ZERO EFFORT." There's no such thing as ZERO EFFORT income, even with MLM's, so if that is what you are looking for then leave now. I don't want another full-time job. What I want is a program that I can run on 5 to 10 hours a week, preferably much less, like 10 hours a MONTH. A self-replicating website is a plus - I don't want to spend my precious time writing and maintaining HTML code. The idea is to put the time and effort in UP FRONT getting set up, and then after that spend a few hours weekly advertising and corresponding with clients if necessary.
5. No selling, or bothering my friends and family!
   This is self-explanatory. I'm not a salesman, and I'm not going to bother my friends with stuff until I have already made lots of money in it. Don't ask me why, it's just how I am. All I want to do is advertise on the internet and interface with clients if necessary. That's it.

Do those criteria sound good to you? Want to see some programs that actually MEET most or all of those criteria? Well, here they are, in dazzling alphebetical order:

600+

Personally, I don't use those multiple search engine submission services. But a lot of people do, so why not make some money on it! This service is kind of pricey, but then submits to more than 600 search engines as opposed to 300 or 400 which seems to be the norm. Please note that you DO NOT HAVE TO BUY The SERVICE in order to become a distributor. If you DO decide to buy, you'll get a discount. Free website included in membership.
Up Front cost: NONE.
Income Potential: You get a commission on purchases from your free website, plus you get income from efforts of the distributors that sign up under you.
Time and Effort: All you have to do is advertise the free website that they set up for you. No calling, selling, or dealing with customers. You can run this on less that 1 hour a week.

 

Blue Rabbit E-Library

Blue Rabbit is a distributor of valuable reports on all types of subjects. When you join up as an agent, all you do is advertise the website that they give you to earn a commission. Free website and 16 free reports are included in membership.
Up Front cost: NONE.
Income Potential: You get up to 45% commission on purchases from your website, plus 5% on purchases from the websites of agents that sign up under you.
Time and Effort: All you have to do is advertise; no dealing with customers. They even give you SIX free banners (like the one above) that you can place on your site or in a banner exchange program. You can run this on less that 1 hour a week.

 

Freedomstarr

The savings in Long Distance charges was enough to convince me. You get 8.9 cents/min long distance PLUS an MLM that pays you a percentage of your downline's phone bills.
Up Front cost: NONE
Income Potential: The site says $5000 per month, but $500 is a realistic income from this program if you give it enough time.
Time and Effort: Very little. You get a free automatically-generated website, and all you have to do is advertise, advertise, advertise! I spend less than 1 hour a week on it. Sign up directly under me and I will help you promote your site. Just email me your member number and URL.

 

Vener

Become a reseller of virtual servers and make commissions on the set-up fees and monthly payments of the clients you bring to the company. This is NOT an MLM. It is a REAL business that generates significant residual income with a little effort on your part. Free website is included.
Up Front cost: NONE.
Income Potential: There is no limit to the income you can make. It all depends on how much time and effort you are willing to put into it. I figure you can easily pull in over $100 a month in RESIDUALS, but the real money is in the set-up fees. You get an amazing 100% commission on them! There is also an opportunity for residuals from distributors that sign up under you.
Time and Effort: This one requires a little work, but the pay-out is worth the effort. This is a REAL business, and like any business, you'll have to put some effort into advertising (mostly on-line). You do NOT have to deal directly with clients unless you want to. Just advertise in the right places and direct people to your FREE web page. You can run this on between 1 and 5 hours a week.

 

Virtualis

This one is very similar to Vener. The server-prices are a little higher, but I think Virtualis has better features and definitly has better websites. Become a reseller of virtual servers and make commissions on the set-up fees and monthly payments of the clients you bring to the company. You'll really need to visit this site and explore it thoroughly in order to get a grasp on this thing. This is NOT an MLM. It is a REAL business that generates significant residual income with a little effort on your part. Free website is included.
Up Front cost: NONE.
Income Potential: As with most of these, there is no limit to the income you can make. It all depends on how much time and effort you are willing to put into it. I figure you can pull in $100 a month from the residuals, plus you get an 80% commission on the set-up fees! There is also an opportunity for residuals from distributors that sign up under you.
Time and Effort: Just advertise in the right places and direct people to your FREE web page. Virtualis makes this a little easier than most programs because they GIVE you free banners that you can copy and use. You can also market this off-line to businesses in your area that need web servers. You can run this on less than 1 hour a week if you work strictly online.

That's ALL???

For now, yes, but I'm always on the look-out for more. I've got my eye on three or four other programs, so check back regularly to see what I've added. If you think you have an internet business opportunity that meets my criteria and belongs here, let me know. I am espescially interested in hearing from someone who has made money with LinkOpp Gold, or the Oyage group. But BE WARNED... if you want ME as a client or in your downline, you are going to have to PROVE YOUR WORTH!! Don't just sent my your regular SPAM, there are two things I want in addition:

1. I want to know about your experiences in the business... IN YOUR OWN WORDS! Don't sent me those same old tired testimonials you got from your sponsor. I want to know what YOU did and how much money YOU make.
2. Paychecks. Show me the money! Photocopy an actual paycheck, white-out any private information, and then scan that sucker and send it to me. Yes, I'm serious. Don't be embarassed if your check is only for $2.00; I just want to see if you are actually getting paid. If you're just getting started, show me one of your sponsor's checks. If YOUR SPONSOR is just getting started... forget it.

Now email your SPAM, and any questions or comments about this site to:
