Make Money Online Blogging with My 5 Paragraph Quota

Posted on May 17, 2012 by admin| Leave a comment

Just like most people active in field of Internet Marketing, I struggle with distraction and maintaining focus on things that matter. Sometimes it’s hard to to know what to prioritize, but eventually and somewhere along the way this has to be done right, otherwise there’s to much time and energy down the drain.

Getting things done is eventually all that matters, it doesn’t matter how much you know or how good you are, if you can’t stay productive nothing will ever be built.

An online business is no exception, far from. It can be hard to stay focused and organized, many aspiring Internet Marketers tend to do a little bit of this, and a little bit of that, struggling to keep focus and getting results. E.g as a blogger, one of the big challenges is to keep on working even though no or small results appear immediately.

A good long-term plan can help out, where you stick to the plan no matter what and discipline yourself not expect any immediate results and follow the plan no matter what. This plan will of course look very different depending on life situation, skill set etc. But the one criteria it has to fulfill regardless of life situation: It has to be realistic!

Each Human Being has Exactly the Same Number of Hours and Minutes Every Day

Time is a scarce resource, it doesn’t matter who we are or what we’ve got, there’s no way we can get more time than 24h/day. However, we can choose what we do with our time, thus we can value time highly and take action against wasting time by good planning.

In order to use time well, I have to know:

  1. Where I’m going
  2. What my next move will be
  3. What to focus on every single day

If I don’t know this I will be wasting a lot of time, that’s an almost absolute truth. I’m in fact speaking from years of experience being an unfocused underachiever, which is totally fine if it’s a hobby, but if it’s a business a lot of professionalism must come in place.

Here’s a few crucial Get your **** together things you need before even thinking about running a business

  1. Being Organized
  2. Keeping Focus
  3. Being Realistic: There’s only so much you can/should do per day, know your limits!
  4. Think Long-Term: Don’t quit your day job just yet, Mmmkay ;-)

Having a realistic quota/day made a huge difference for me. By setting reasonable goals on my tasks, I don’t have to fail every day like I did before. My quota is part of a long-term plan so I don’t have to worry.

E.g:
My blogging quota is 5 paragraphs / day, that sums up to 1773 paragraphs / year

Calc: ((365 * 5) – (52 Sundays)) = 1773

This assumes I work 6 days a week which I often do. If you think about it, that’s a whole bunch of blog posts written by the end of this year! By keeping a low quota and remembering it’s part of a long-term plan, makes it much easier to not go into panic about the “not so immediate results”.

Pleasant Effects from Keeping a Reasonable Daily Quota

  1. I often end up getting a whole lot more done in every area.
  2. I don’t suffer from performance anxiety and freeze in panic.
  3. It’s much more fun to work because I achieve what I’ve set out to do.
  4. I actually move forward every day.

One Last Thing

Perfect as you go: don’t worry to much, you’ll get better at what you do by working focused in your business and by having this mindset you’ll suffer from less performance anxiety.

If you have the tendency to not get anything done because of what I’ve mentioned here, seriously consider taking into consideration what I’be just mentioned because it sure has been working good for me and it might work for you to.

Make Money Online (Daily Update) – I Just Purchased Wiki Nuke SEO Software

Posted on May 14, 2012 by admin| Leave a comment

Today I’ve been having some serious trouble with my computer, last night I updated the Service Pack on my Windows Vista installation and for some reason my computer didn’t like this new Service Pack and it refuses to start(angry thoughts)! I’m now hoping for the startup repair to solve this issue.

If it Works, Don’t Fix It …

The reason I was updating in the first place(generally I don’t like to touch things that work because this is what often happens, well to me anyway), is because of the SEO software called Wiki Nuke that I purchased yesterday. The Wiki Nuke SEO Software requires at least version 8 of Internet Explorer and IE8 in turn requires this newer service pack so I really had no choice but to update.

Anyway, it didnt work out and here I’m stuck with my old laptop and no work environment installed and setup. Please wish me the best of luck that the computer can be fixed because it doesn’t look good.

Google Penguin Update & Authority Domains

As you probably know, since the Google Penguin update, the updated Google algorithm now consider domain authority an even more important factor than earlier, ranking websites on domains without any authority links nowadays is much harder. However, there are solutions to this problem, one is to utilize various web properties out there like WordPress.com, Squidoo, Hub Pages etc. This works very well, especially after the Penguin update.

There are a number of drawbacks publishing content on web properties that someone else owns, and the major issue is that it can get shutdown. I’ve had several shutdowns and it’s not fun to lose the traffic it brings, however if one is a bit careful and don’t go overboard with the affiliate links they usually stay there.

Another solution to the Penguin update problem is to build your own authority website, this will of course require links from authorative sources, one solution to this problem is supposed to be solved my the Wiki Nuke SEO software. This SEO software posts content and links on thousands of Wiki websites, this seem to be a trend that works well because many of these websites have authority and the links posted are embedded in contextually relevant content.

You can take a peek at this software here: Wiki Nuke

Looks like I’m stuck with tech problems all day, hopfully your day is better.

Make Money Online Tip #2 – Don’t Try to Get it Right – Make Sure it Gets Done!

Posted on January 23, 2012 by admin| Leave a comment



Rant Free Guarantee!

As always, I’m aiming for a short and sweet post because I don’t want to waste your valuable time.

A huge problem in Internet marketing is the whole learning process, this area is so big and ever changing. Therefore it’s no point in trying to learn everything about it, but instead begin practicing various methods.

You probably already know this but maybe you need someone to tell it to you again

I did struggle with this problem myself until I decided to shift focus from:

Trying to get it right
to
Make sure it gets done

This change of mindset has made quite a difference in terms of results, even though I’m not a millionaire, now I’m able to make a living online

So what to do? …

Solution: Go and actually do something that has value, it’s impossible to produce any results if you don’t.

and if you don’t know what you should do and what to focus on . . .

I’m going to recommend you this Video Course(I own it as well and it’s really good) :
Click Here -> Recommended Video Course

This course is made by a guy named Kevin at the Warrior Forum and he includes a method where anyone can make $100 /day without creating a single video.

Video is after all the future . . .

I’ve read his course and I learned a lot from it, I decided to go with creating my own videos but there really is no need for that if you don’t want to.

. . . one more thing that may encourage you to create your own videos:

Just look at my videos, I’m certainly no video creation master, heck my first language is not even English! But, I will not let that stop me and neither should you!

Make Money Online Tip #1 – Learn How to Work from Home and Get Paid Fast

Posted on January 20, 2012 by admin| Leave a comment

This is a WSO that I recommend for anyone who wants to make money online by performing simple work and getting paid for it. There’s no guesswork involved and you’ll actually know that you get paid for the work performed.

The really good thing about this WSO is that you can choose to run it as a business by outsourcing these tasks and make the difference in spread.

Do your self a favour, learn how to earn money while you’re building the passive income streams on the side. Don’t be completely left out to the algorithms and the constant changes in SEO, learn how to actually get paid.

Here’s a couple of reviews from Warriors …

Review Posted by cloudbacklinks at Warrior Forum

My Review:

… you’ll see some golden nuggets … I can definitely see the potential here to make $350 in 30 days …overall a great pdf, I would recommend it even for double the price!
Review Posted by wealthyminds at Warrior Forum

…I would say that this system is great… Even if your English sucks (like mine), you can outsource the work and still make a decent cut of your profits.

I wish there was a resource like this one when I got started…Maurice is a genuine and a very resourceful person, and you will certainly gain from this ebook if you’re looking to make your first $100 or even $1000 per month online. You can make more if you scale up!

Verdict: Great for beginners. Veterans will still gain from this as some of these lists are new even for me. Certainly worth $5, or even more.

Review Posted by andybeveridge at Warrior Forum

Here is my review.

…The report is easy to read and straight to the point and I think personally that someone who likes writing could easily make some extra money this way.

…it is an honest report that could help somebody get on the first rung of the earning ladder…I have been full time online for a couple of years and was spinning my wheels for a couple more but I have not heard about many of these sites.

It is worth the money…
This is the Service I provide To Get Paid Directly

Even though I’ve managed to build a few passive income streams and it’s definitively a long-term goal to make a good living out of those in the future, until then I want a business model where I’m able to control my income in a better way by performing work for others.

I think most of us who wants to make money online should have an income stream where lead scrubbing or affiliate commission theft (because that happens on a daily basis) is an impossible scenario.

The way I secure my income is by building and selling websites, primarily at forums, even though it will never make me rich it’s still a part of my business where I control the income in a completely different manner. I’ve got my technical background as a developer so providing a service of this nature suites me well.

I know not everybody is technically oriented but fortunately you don’t have to be that to perform work and get paid: Click Here -> Start Working Online

So, my suggestion is that you do find something that can actually pay for the work you put in without to much guesswork. Note: Remember to check the WSO recommended on this page for that.

Website Flipping (Case Study) : A 5+ Year Old Domain with Pagerank 2 and a No Revenue 100% Automatic Video Website

Posted on January 16, 2012 by admin| Leave a comment

Flipping Websites without Revenue – Nutz or Nice?

Flipping websites with no revenue is of course not an optimal approach, but in this case study I want to see if there’s money to be made by pushing for value in other parts of a web property, such as domain age and unique design.In the past I’ve made a few half-hearted attempts to sell startup websites , with no revenue and more or less cookie cutter design, it seems almost impossible to profit from them.

Enhancing Value in Other Areas of a Web Property

This time I’ve taken things a bit further and put more work into this website, with a unique design, aged domain with Pagerank, better copy in the listing description and various other elements that hopefully will increase value. Below I’ve listed the elements I believe a potential buyer will perceive as value in this listing.

Show Me the Money & Where is the value

  1. 5 Year Old Aged Domain with Pagerank 2  : This awesome tool called PR Powershot works ridiculously well.  Just run the software and it performs the aged domain hunt 100% automatically.
  2.  Unique and Pretty Cool Design: It’s good enough to separate itself from the vast majority of websites should according to my opinion come across as having a pretty high perceived value.
  3. Auto Updated Facebook Account and Page with Video Thumbnails: This actually required a little custom hacking to make it work.
  4. Auto Updated Twitter Account.
  5. Custom Made Ads for High Gravity Clickbank Offers.
  6. 100% Automatic Video Website (Youtube videos) : Video websites have proven to be quite popular when studying the Flippa marketplace.
  7. Over 2K Indexed Pages in Google.
  8. Backlinks: 116 according to http://www.domain-pop.com/reports/vclpc.org/
  9. Decent Alexa Ranking.
  10. iPhone App Ready for Submission to App Store.
  11. Mobile Ready.
  12. Content Distribution System on 100% Autopilot.

Here’s a few things that a Flippa listing should preferably have, but this web property doesn’t, lets see how this will affect the outcome.

  1. Google Analytics: Statcounter.com is the statistics tool used.
  2. Adsense ads:
  3. Revenue:  Even the smallest amount of revenue make a difference.

Even though I know these are a few pretty important elements of a successful Flippa listing,  I’ve decided not to use any of Google’s tools on this web property.

One reason I want to make a case study flipping a no revenue website is that I want to see how much value is there actually in a listing with no revenue and is it really possible to make a good living flipping websites that has no revenue.

As I mentioned earlier and you probably already know, flipping websites with no revenue is very often not a very profitable business and I assume that also explains all the very obvious scams going on on the Flippa.com marketplace, fake screenshots etc. They actually make quite a bit of money these scammers.

Anyway, for us that beleive in honesty, the scamming business has to be left to the scammers. Even though this makes it a bit harder to be a legit Website flipper, it’s part of the game and exists in almost every industry.

Very soon I will make another case study with a website that’s got revenue, monetized by Adsense and is using Google Analytics.

Website Flipping End Result: Presented Later when the auction is ended.

Result: Unfortunately the highest bid was only $100 and I’m obviously not selling that, I will re-list this website in a month or so.

Action Plan:

  • Add Google Analytics
  • Add Adsense
  • Re-list the website once it has got some Adsense income.

 

to be continued …

 

Lets Hope it Works Out

To Buy Aged Domains with Pagerank is Now Easier than Ever

Posted on January 15, 2012 by admin| Leave a comment

aged domains

The Problem: Buying aged domains with Pagerank, is something relatively few people know how to do efficiently.  Through the years, I’ve read so many different strategies about snatching high pagerank expiring domains, one complicated solution after another and they all have one thing in common, no one has made any sense pursuing because of time and complexity. That’s why I’ve not until recently purchased any expired domains.

Time is everything.  As adults with full schedules, I think most of use can recognize the feeling of the days just flying by fast and we it’s just impossible to spend any more time on a task than necessary!

All the the hassle involved in buying aged domains always held me back from even considering following through with it, even though I knew there’s really good value in an aged domain compared to a brand new.

buy aged domains

The Solution: The solution to this problem is a simple dimple software called PR Powershot that pretty much only has one button, but the amazing thing is that it  actually works. I know there are many pieces of software out there promising the world and fail to deliver, however this one is different. You don’t even have to mess with proxies or anything else for that matter.

The expiring domains with pagerank found by PR Powershot, are returned in a spreadsheet. PR Powershot returns both fake and real Pagerank domains but  by simply adding an extra column where it says either “real” or “fake”  it’s easy to differentiate the good from the bad.

PR Powershot is by far not only the best solution I’ve found to this problem, but the only one that’s affordable and so simple baby can use it. Now I’m snatching at least a couple of expiring domains a week with minimal effort.

The Execution: Below is the exact steps in which I’m obtaining expiring aged domains.  Beyond using PR Powershot, I’m also taking a couple of additional steps to verify that I’m not dealing with a fake PageRank domain.

Fake domains appear all the time and even if the software does a great job of weeding them out, I still want to be as certain as possible that I’m purchasing a domain with real PageRank.

 …. Let’s do it.

Just Open up PR Powershot and it  goes out on domain hunting automatically using Godaddy Auctions as the source. Let the program run until it’s finished, usually for about 15-20 minutes. Then you can find the spreadsheet containing all the domains in the catalog:  “C:\prpowershot”

Sort the good ones out from the bad, the spreadsheet returned shows 3 columns:

  • Name
  • Pagerank
  • Pagerank Validity(Fake or Real)

Here are the Steps.

  1. Once you find something of interest, double check with www.rankchecker.com to make sure this domain has valid Pagerank. You will also find additional information there like age, number of backlinks and much more.
  2. One additional step that I always perform, is running the following into Google (replace domain.com with your domain):  info:domain.com
    I do this because if the domain you’re getting as a result from Google is another than the one you put in, you can be pretty sure that it’s a fake PageRank domain.
  3. According to my experience: I’m not sure why and don’t take it as a 100% truth. The best time to run is somewhere around 5:00pm – 6:00pm(GMT) This is when I find the most number of good domains.

Happy Domain Hunting

Make Money Online Building Websites – Creating High Value Web Properties Fast with Instant Monetization

Posted on December 1, 2011 by admin| 2 Comments

So lets walk through the creation process of a website and look where we can find real $ value with a Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS) approach.  By focusing on the right things , it actually isn’t very complicated to make good money online. You just need to know what to focus on!

I’m a pragmatic guy that don’t like to do things more theoretical and complicated than they are, getting things done is what counts!

The example website is my newly found, aged and Pageranked five letter domain:  ccrrc.net.

I did buy the ccrrc.net domain via Godaddy auctions, it was an expired Pagerank 1 domain with 3+ years of age. The good thing about a “letter domain” is that it can be about anything.

I decided to name this website:  Collected Content with a Rare and Refined Class (CCRRC)   … that could work for a broad subject article website, right?

Here’s a guide on: How to buy aged domains in the easiest way possible, I suggest you check it out.

Domain Age and WHOIS Details about ccrrc.net

  • Archive.org records: 1
  • Registrar: GODADDY.COM, INC.
  • Registered: 2008-10-10
  • Expiration: 2012-10-10
  • Domain age: 3 years, 1 month, 19 days

 

There are Several Good Reasons for Buying an Aged Domain with Pagerank  Vs. a Brand New

Monetization: It’s actually possible to monetize domains based on Pagerank alone in a 100% automated fashion. This means money can be made with a Pageranked domain even without traffic. The concept is not new at all but here it’s done in a way that I’ve never seen before.

This method allows you to receive posts to your blog(s) with a minimum of Pagerank 1, there are links in the posts pointing to where the paying advertisers want to and money is made by publishing this content.  So what’s being done is actually a link sale but it’s super easy cash and almost instant monetization on a minimum Pagerank 1 domain.

This is a very good reason for purchasing aged domains with Pagerank, if a website can start generating revenue almost instantly, the investment can pay for itself much faster.

Find out more details here: Selling text links on your WordPress blog

 

… imagine if you can find other places using similar monetization methods as Postlinks and use them all together.  Nice indeed ….

 

If you’re a flipper: Another good reason is that selling a website with age is usually much more attractive in the eyes of buyers and a website with revenue always goes for much larger amounts of money than the opposite. Even though I’ve heard a lot about the benefits of purchasing expired domains, it has always seemed so complicated and messy to find the good ones, but not anymore!

Highly recomended: This software: PR Powershot finds aged domains with Pagerank with only 1 button push, yup that’s right,  just run the program and it will go out hunting for expired domains and bring them back to you in a spreadsheet.

 

I own this software myself and highly recommend it: PR Powershot

 

 What Steps to Take and What to Focus on to Get Good Value the Fastest and Easiest Way

Step 1:  Getting an aged domain with Pagreank using PR Powershot, it’s as easy as it will ever be using this tool.

Why do it?  It adds value and makes almost instant monetization possible (Sell text links). It’s not uncommon to find domains with 10+ years in age with PR Powershot and there’s really good value in a domain with age when selling the property.

PR Powershot, almost always finds some Pagerank domain, mostly PR1 and PR2′s but sometimes there are real high PR domains available .

Note: There are a few days of waiting before the domains are being transferred to you, it can even take up to 2 weeks. The worst case scenario is if the original owner decides to renew the domain, in this case you will not get the domain but your money back.  I have purchased about 10 expired domains and every time I have received it within 4 days and never lost any domain to someone renewing it!

 

Step 2:  Use a good hosting: My recommendation is  Bluehost, they have excellent support according to my experience, check out why I use bluehost below.

Why do I use Bluehost?

Well, first of all the price is incredible,  $5.95/month and I am very happy with the performance of Bluehost when compared to other shared hosting providers. Below you have the feature list.

Bluehost is Highly Recommended: 

  • UNLIMITED Domain Hosting
  • UNLIMITED GB Hosting Space
  • UNLIMITED GB File Transfer
  • UNLIMITED E-mail Accounts
  • FREE Domain
  • FREE Site Builder w/ templates
  • Secure Shell, SSL, FTP, Stats
  • CGI, Ruby (RoR), Perl, PHP, MySQL
  • $75 Free Google Credit
  • 99.9% Network Uptime Guarantee

 

.. the value in using a hosting provider like Bluehost  is that you can install 100′s of websites and your hosting fees still stay at the same low monthly rate of $5.95. It’s pretty easy to create profitable websites when they cost almost nothing to own, are fast to create and can be monetized instantly.

 

Step 3: I usually clone a previous installation of WordPress using the excellent tool  ManageWP (currently FREE), this way the installation takes about 5 minutes, including the copying of files. I clone a website at the same hosting account so the files are just copied from one website directory to another and the database is also copid locally and that’s a very fast process.

 

Step 4: Finding a theme(if you don’t have favorite(s) already): I usually go for the FREE themes, there’s a lot of FREE WordPress themes out there, but buying a premium can of course raise the value of your property. Just Google for WordPress themes and you’ll find an almost UNLIMITED number of them, just pick a good one fast and go with it otherwise you can be stuck in “desicion making land” for a long time.

 

Step 5: Getting Content to the Blog: For the most part I choose to have automatic content posted to my websites, if it’s and Exact Match Domain(EMD) I usually have a High Quality article optimized for the main keyword on the front page:

Example: http://www.howdoyoumakeyourhairgrowfaster.org/

… the main keyword here is “how do you make your hair grow faster”, and it ranks on the  first page of Google. If you like to use this method, find a really good article using Google on the keyword you’re targeting, have it rewritten for a few bucks. That’s the cheapest and best way I’ve found.

The automatic content I use comes from these sources:

  • Article Marketing Automation : With AMA you add the website to their system.
  • Unique Article Wizard : UAW is using a WordPress plugin to recieve articles.
  • Postlinks : Note: Minimum Pagerank 1 : But here you earn money on 100% automation when your blog recieves their content. The also use a WordPress plugin.

 

So Lets Summarize by Looking at the Very Few Points to Focus On!

  1. Get an aged domain with Pagerank using PR Powershot (it’s worth many times the few dollars it costs).
  2. Use a good hosting provider, my recommendation is Bluehost
  3. Manage and clone your WordPress blogs with this tool: ManageWP (currently FREE)
  4. Monetize your blog Selling text links

 

 

This is actually how easy it is, sure you can increase the value even more by doing complex designs etc, but this is a very simple formula that can create High Value Web Properties that can be sold for top dollar or kept for passive income.

A website that has Pagerank and earns money on autopilot is an almost 100% guarantee success on a marketplace like e.g Flippa, so focus on the right things! Read more about Website Flipping Here.

It’s not just about the dollars you’re pulling in from a website, it’s also the time and energy you don’t have to spend working and making a million small decisions that drain your energy and motivation.

 

This formula is easy but powerful :  (Pagerank > 1) + Selling text links = Good Money for Less Work and More Energy to Play with your Kids
