Want to Make Money? Do This (it's Proven)

Want to make money online? It’s easier than you think, just follow the six steps listed below.

Today, as I fly home from a business trip in southern California I felt compelled to share some proven and effective methods for making money online. However, before I move on and get into the nitty gritty I want to warn you a bit.

Do not expect the normal Brian G. Johnson wordpress laced, seo geek speak.

While this post contains information that has made thousands of men (and women of course) rich beyond their wildest dreams, it has nothing to do with Internet marketing. In fact the methods (actually steps) I am prepared to share with you today have been around for dozens and dozens if not hundreds of years. Obviously, this means these steps to financial freedom did not come to me in a wild dream about online riches. Bottom line is that I stole am practicing these very steps myself in order to reach my own personal goals in making money online.

I learned about these simple but incredibly powerful steps to financial freedom while on my flight to California while reading the classic book that all the guru’s keep telling you to read, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. I have been reading this fantastic  book now since December when I first downloaded it in preparation for a ski trip to Jackson Hole. I am only on chapter two, it is a book to savor and study …. It is a book to return to time and again, one where taking time to pause is very beneficial as this information needs time to process. That and I am also busy doing the day to day tasks that make me money online. In chapter two Napoleon speaks about six steps that both you and I can begin to start implementing right now today. Steps that will help us, almost insure us that we will reach our goals online and that is where the steps begin.

Six Steps to Getting What You Want Out of Life – Napoleon Hill, Think & Grow Rich

  1. Fix in Your Mind
    Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you want, it is not sufficient to say “I want boat loads of money.
  2. Give in Return
    Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. (There is no such reality as “something for nothing.”)
  3. Establish a Date
    Establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money.
  4. Create a Plan
    Create a definite plan for carry out your desire and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.
  5. Write it Out
    Write out a clear,concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for the acquisition, state what you intend to give for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.
  6. Read it, Often
    Read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just just prior to retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. AS YOU READ-SEE AND FEEL AND BELIEVE YOURSELF ALREADY IN POSSESSION OF THE MONEY.

The simple steps are chuck full of the kind of tips you here guy like me mentioning time and time again, you know …stuff like:

  • Take action
  • Create a plan
  • Focus

Last week I mentioned testing out a devastatingly effective tactic for driving free traffic that requires no witting at all, the post was incredibly popular and received numerous comments in a matter of days, you can find that post here. If you are one of the many people that are just a bit too lazy to have to worry about writing your own content but still want to be able to cash in online then your going to want to listed up.

Here Are The Facts:

During February I launched three sites, each targeting a specific commercial niche online. Like 99% of the sites I run they were all based on wordpress and were structured with basic seo elements in place. The goal was to launch several sites without writing one bit of content myself, except for basic site elements such as the site name, the home page title and meta description.

Leading up to this testing I had spent about $400 reviewing about 5 or 6 “content generation” plugins for wordpress, I knew how I wanted to set the sites up and needed to find the plugins that would help me achieve my goals.

The goal you ask?

Set it and forget it, to be able to set sites up once with proper categories, title tags, plugins and seo optimized themes and walk away. I was not interested in having to update the sites in any way shape or form, that meant that the sites would need to update themselfs. Furthermore, I wanted to be able to scale easily, I needed to complete the site in a couple hours tops. I would monetize the sites with contextual advertising (Adsense, Yahoo Publishers Network, Chikita, ect) and only need to see a profit of a couple of bucks a day per site in order to realize serious cash.

The First Site Was Launched On Feb 22, 2009

1-launched

From day one the site was averaging over 100 unique visitors a day, not bad for an extremely competitive and profitable niche. Below you can see some of the adsense being served by Google Adsense on the site.

2-adsense-ads

Just how much do Adwords Advertisers pay for these types of keywords?

3-adwords-bids

Within two weeks this site was doing on average about 350 visitors daily ….

4

Testing is now coming to an end and I am ramping up to make a killing and you can too, this method will result in thousands of dollars earned for those willing to take action. The site mentioned above makes between $2 and $5 bucks daily or about $100 a month. This was NOT a one time thing, two additional sites launched using this method are also driving traffic and making money. It is just too easy (for an intermediate marketer), launch wordpress, add categories, descriptions, click some buttons and your done.

How many sites could you launch like this if it only took you a couple of hours to implement?

5 … 10 ….30?

Multiply that number times $100 a month (monthly site earnings on average) and it starts to get interesting.

  • $500 a month for a handful of sites.
  • $1000 or so a month for ten or so sites.
  • $3,000 for 30 or so sites launched.

Underground Traffic Society Bonus Offer

When I originally posted that I was busy testing this new “auto content cash” system many people were quite interested the exact methods I was using. Next week I am letting the cat out of the bag with my Underground Traffic Society Bonus, I will give you a clue, it is based in part on my fantastic Revenue Domains Exposed ecourse that I released in the spring of 2008.

Why not share this new method with everyone?

Quite honestly because this method works best with expired domain names, right now I can get those fairly cheap (usually under $40 bucks or so). However, I want this method to continue working for myself and those 100 people who pick up my Underground Traffic Society through my bonus offer, bottom line is that I want this method to stay “underground” just like Howies excellent seo traffic information.

Testing Continues Inside The WordPress Traffic Lab

Traffic, the lifeblood of a successful internet marketing business. Over the last few months I have certainly been getting my share, it simply amazes me that their are just soo many possibilities when it comes to driving traffic. Subscribers to this site know I have been using WordPress now for about four or five years to create my various sites. Today wordpress is at a point where the possibilities are just fantastic for internet marketers with powerful plugins and themes and that is what I want to share with you today.

WordPress is easier, looks amazing and holds tremendous power in the right hands.

Deep Inside My WordPress Traffic Lab Testing Continues …

Mad_scientistOver the last few months I have been cramming for sure, creating my next course (my best work todate), leading webinars for Alex Goad and testing some very intresting new wordpress traffic tactics. Let me share with you two of my latest case studies.

Several years ago I released Revenue Domains Exposed in which I shared methods I have been using for some time to easily drive hordes of money making traffic via expired domains. This past February I picked up a few expired gems on the cheap about $40 bucks a pop or so … no major investment. My intent was to test out several new wordpress plugins (easy content with the push a button) and new wordpress themes that allow for amazing customization. Many of these new style wordpress themes give users the power to control aspects such as font, font size, colors, layouts, easy integration of adsense and Google Analytics and more.

After launching two test study cases I am floored with the results to date.

I launched the first site about a month ago and Google was slow to come by and update the site, however about 10 days after launching I noticed Google was indeed indexing the new content, even better was the site was driving traffic. Normally this would not impress me, this is what I do for a living … create sites and drive content that makes me money online.

However, I have not written one word of content, I spent about two hours setting up the site and walked away ;-)

Several weeks later I had noticed that Google had indexed 988 pages and that the traffic was continuing to grow and the site was making money via contextual ads. Easy money for the taking for sure.

Yesterday I figured I would launch the second case study site, by 11am my time the site was live with about 10 posts. By the evening Google had already indexed about 100 pages / posts / tag achieves /ect ….And … the site had already made me some cash. Funny, many people do not seam to get the power of Revenue Domains Exposed. That is fine, I will continue to use the method to cash in and will just have less competition!

My Plan Of Attack – Mass Production

Wordpress-wAs I move forward with this easy money making system I plan on using these two new premium wordpress themes. As mentioned they give me the chance to easily create fantastic looking sites that I control, I will test and tweak contextual ad integration on one or two sites and find the formula that gives me the best CTR and earnings. Then I will use those same setting across all the sites I launch, this will keep me busy launching more sites, not playing and tweaking themes.

I always teach people they should always focus on traffic, especially when someone is just starting out. After all spending days working with themes, images, ad colors and placement means NOTHING with no traffic. That however does not mean sites should not look good, using these wordpress themes that allow for so much customization but where created by designers means sharp looking sites with a few clicks. Today for me time is money, I am willing to get any plugin, theme or ebook that allows me to work more efficiently. If your also using wordpress you may want to check out this new theme as well. It can have your sites looking fantastic in a matter of minutes, no design experience needed.
