Internet Marketing Brainstorming!

Well, as usual took some time to test out a new income source that I’ve heard about but never got into. Just seemed like too much (manual) work. But… upon discovering a simple breakdown of the basics I looked further into it. Especially with the intent of passing it on to friends & fam, this one appealed to me because it seemed fairly simple:

Purchase domains. Sell them on eBay to the highest bidder. make a profit.
No heavy lifting no postage, just domain names. However, the devil is in the details. So I went ahead to try and automate as much of it as I could. And I got as far as registering a list of expired domains in order to sell them.

In my first initial test, I purchased about 15 domains for about $100.00 Sold them for about $117 – before ebay & paypal fees. So I just about broke even. Best part is you can have money sent to you within a few days of listing your auctions on eBay. Worst part is you can buy some domains that sell for less than what you paid for them. Still a work in progress, but…..the hardest parts (finding & registering expired domains) has been automated. The account registration & listing of auctions is next, but I wonder if this might be a little too manual for friends & family wo haven’t had much experience with online stuff… after the way the article income project fizzled, I wonder about developing an automated system… because fact of the matter is a lot of judgment is still required in order to make it work. We’ll see.

When you tryna get tha money for tha friends and family……..
Witness my frustration. I have slaved away at creating (pimping) macros to enable friends & family be able to make some dough online. i finally settled on my “3.A.I.” method….. with a twist. After much reseach, testing and searching I figured out that articles can make you money semi-automatically. How? two ways:

1) Adsense. I have a list of article directories whee you can place you articles and make money when people click the adsens on the page your article is posted.
2) Per article. Some directories will pay you to submit articles.

So naturally I tried automating the process of spinning some articles with Wordflood, and submitting them to places like Associated Content, Helium, and Informative Post. And… it sort of works. Problem is it’s not a big money maker. Some limit how many you can submit, some won’t post unless they are the only ones wit your articles and some may not like your article.

But the biggest hurdle is thee fact that I took it for granted that I would be able to show people how to “rewrite” articles with wordflood. it jut takes them too long. And then the monetary compensation is wildly fluctuative. With the 3 directories I mentioned, I figured one article submitted to all 3 should average about $8 dollars worth of income. But if it takes people 3 hours to rewrite one article, that’s like them earning $2.75 an hour. Yes… my friends and family are that slow in rewriting an article – even using wordflood, the greatest article rewriter of all time.

So I’m stuck with having to abandon it because $8 dollars a day on a good day) isn’t worth it for all that time. I hink I’ll have to dust off my D.I.P. method (Dating Income Process) to see if I can really make it work with proper automation. Well see.

Geez…… title sez it all. Wow. The amazing thing is.. I have only gathered “scraps” from the web about the full scope of PPV Marketing. Perhaps that is the reason for my enthusiasm… is the knowledge that I can “figure it out” on my own. And even though I KNOW I haven’t got all the info…. and that I will get a bonus from Gauher explaining it more, thanks to a bonus for purchasing a “questionable” product through his affiliate link (Mass Control *sic*)… I feel good about getting the ‘jump’ on the materials simply by testing… and I know this testing would be impossible without the tracking I talked about.

Well, as I sit here, I “think” today will be my best day earnings ever. As a matter of fact, yesterday (the 13th) was my birthday and I woke up today to check my earnings and found out yesterday was my best ever, and I already know today will bypass that. And that is all due to PPV.

Now.. I’m in a little shock because if this holds up…. then it means I have reached my daily internet marketing earnings goal that set a little over a year ago…. hmmm. That would be crazy. Because it’s a little scary. With my luck something will … nah… positive thoughts only. This is it. Has to be :-)

The prerequisite though is an understanding of PPC. That is the bottom line… and being that I know I’m ‘good’ at PPC, the “proper tracking ” gave me the wings & confidence to expand to PPV because I hate the constant tweaking and work involved with PPC…. although it can be extremely profitable once you have a set routine. With PPV, it seems the steps required are much less…. no landing pages! No ads! Although you “can” create lading pages… I strongly suspect you can get a higher ROI and build a list etc… but I don’t want to add more work :-) so… I do without and still do great.

I have one more test to run to put my mind at ease in terms of the amount of commissions I’m getting because this could be just too… unreal. And I wouldn’t need “fucking” google for this???? lol.

Brainflood. Too much to handle (too cold to cold). I am absolutely tired and elated, since I’ve been on a discover spree. One of the best things I’ve done is really dedicate myself to finding the friends and family solution. Why? Because it has FORCED me to test out any and all shady methods on making money online. You don’t often hear about the failures. Only the massive successes… so that you can of course purchase their products from them “even at 2.am in the morning!” lol.

Well, I am of the opinion that you can learn more from failure than you can from success…and in that vein two “great” failures led me to amazing success in the last two weeks or so.

First, how ya like the new blog look? Say hellow to wordpress 2.5 :-) Still not sure how seriously to take it, but since I know people actually read this thing, I figure, might as well make it pretty. Besides I might sell some shit from here so why not jazz it up a little.

Anyways…..the two great failures are:
(1) N.T.T. which is basically my “newsroom traffic technique” – setting up multiple newsroom units on a blog page and sending lots of traffic (questionable or not) to it. This worked well until they nabbed me for having too many “ad units” on a page…. They told me to remove some of them, I did but they still shut me down. $5 a day source down the drain boo-hoo … haha.

(2) My “This could be nasty” post, in which I created a macro that could search for me and make the dough automatically… Worked great till they canned my account, so don’t do it folks :-)

They both are no longer in my life but you can take them and run with them.
What is in my life now is a new method of making money which I think karma brought to me. Totally unexpected. Heard of PPV? Well…PPV = Pay Per View. Kinda like Pay Per Click, only easier… like the old days of google cash when everything was simple. You’ll hear more about it soon, but i’ve picked up bits & pieces here & there & was able to put it together without having to actually buy any courses. It has now shot up to being my #2 money maker!

And what’s #1? Why my C.G.I. method of course. I finally figured out how to go from $2 bucks a day to … well… a lotta bucks a day…. couple zeros added on. And I think I can scale it up even more. Actually I know I can… in fact, I think one company on Clixgalore changed their payouts because of me lol. Assholes. But no big deal, I keep plugging away. If this holds up, and other companies don’t change their payout, then I should be able to reach my goal that I set for myself about a year ago, in… a couple of days.

For now I need to finish my “3.A.I.” method so the Friends & Family have some stable white hat income to rely on while I prefect my other discoveries. More to come.

Not nasty bad, but nasty good. I”m talking about:



Yup. My never ending quest for mo’ money continues, and I wind up coming across this little site.
Normally I’m against stuff that does little dinky payments like this, but… with a little dedication… some macrofication illumination, an inspiring monetary sensation , …… it might be worth playing with. Heh. Especially if added to my other little piddly income sources; It takes many pennies to make a dollar ;-)

So, this might be another great addition to the friends and families list. I came across it and was actually mad until someone else sent me a message which make me look at it differently. If what I think is a thought worth having, then this might be my next test of additional income. Stay tuned.

Amazing how experience and perspective change things for you.
I went back and looked at my $2 Dollar a day program, for the simple reason that my 3AI method seemed more complicated to my friend than I thought it would be. I guess I fell into the trap of assuming if its easy for me it would be easy for anyone. Well i decided to take some time to plan out how to train people better to use it.

Meanwhile… in the back of my mind I wondered whether or not i should simply just apply a simpler method such as my
C.G.I. method from the $2 dollars a day post.
I then noticed that some of my links were dead… for a long time! = Lost money! Well it was only $2 a day, so who really cares right?
Well after fixing them, I took a closer look at the system and make some minor changes.
The result? It doubled my automated income to what looks to be over $4.00 a day on total autopilot.

Makes me think… what else can I do to increase that? I think it will settle at about $5.00 dollars a day once it steadies. Which would be about $150 a month hands-free.
Chicken change? Yes. But that’s hosting or some other expense taken care of….
I still cannot think of a reasonable way to scale it up massively…yet. If I do, that might be my first product or WSO sale. But even then… $4-$5 a day for simply leaving your computer on is……. useful to some people… so we’ll see.

I love the concpt though… “turn your computer on and make $5 dollars a day!” lol.
How to make that $50…$100 dollars a day… that is the question.

LOL! Yeah… this is getting good. Now we have C.G.I. which after testing for a week is making me a whopping $2.00 a day. Actually it’s more like $1.87 a day or so. Obvious question – why not multiply it to make more?
Answer – the resources needed are limited….. I think I can up that amount a bit, but it takes a lot of work and I don’t believe the system is going to add more to the bottom line.

So,…. back to the search. However, “C.G.I.” stands for ClixGalore Income. ClixGalore is an affiliate Network that pays for everything much like Commission Junction, so this method was a way to make money from some of their affiliate programs on auto pilot. Needless to say…. it ain’t all that. However, the network itself offers a variety of affiliate programs, many of which you will not find anywhere else.

So…. I am able to find autopilot income, but unable to make more than $2.00 a day….. hmmm…… the quest continues… however, I can assure you that between “S.L.F.” and the other one I just brainstormed simply known as “A.I.”; yes it’s a play on the term A.I. “Artificial Intelligence”, but it is Appropriate since macros will be heavily used to automate the intelligence needed for the process to work. Something is going to pop with one of these methods… it has to.

Wow. So I’ve been working my ass off for automated income, and yet another test has failed.
I mentioned I would try the
1. N.T.T.
2. S.L.F.
systems.

Well, The N.T.T. system is a bust… at least for now. But for posterity’s sake, I’ll give the description here.
N.T.T. stands for Newsroom Traffic Technique.
In a nutshell, the goal was to place The Newsroom feeds on a page or blog, and drive a whole lotta traffic to it.
That’s where this blog (which I have Newsroom feeds on) and the post about 1 Million Hits comes in.

According to TheNewsroom, they pay on a CPM (per 1,000) model:
Video feed: $4.00 per thousand video “plays” ($0.004/ visitor)
Video Story: $ 3.00 per thousand video “plays” ($0.003/ visitor)
Text story: $ 1.00 per thousand “renders” ($0.001/ visitor)
Image: $ 1.00 per thousand “renders” ($0.001/ visitor)

Now they used to have “Autoplay” on their site, meaning when someone landed on your site, the video would play, and automatically earn you money per play, i.e. per visitor.
They no longer have autoplay.

But the NTT technique was to use traffic exchanges (or purchase traffic) to go to your pages and get paid per visitor.
Then they banned autoplay because too many people abused it (multiple videos plays on each page lol).,…… Now it’s not worth it doing all that work for 0.001 cents per visitor.
But since testing out some traffic exchanges, I see some people still doing it, and they must be making peanuts, because I tried and it’s just not worth it.

So there you have it.
I am contemplating testing the same thing with Pay Per Play, because it supposedly pays 0.007 cents per visitor…. but we’ll have to wait & see.

Meanwhile I am testing my S.L.F. method which I might reveal soon, as well as something similar to N.T.T. which I simply call “C.G.I.” :-) The “I” is for Income lol. So far it’s a bit of a dud as well, but it pulls in like $2.00 a day on autopilot….. :-(
The real one I should be exited about is S.L.F. That should have some real money, but takes a lot of work to set up the automation.
