I think these are a great combination as a lead generator, then being able to consistently pump out great content up the stickiness content and will give your blog a spurt of continuous growth.

It’s a great branding strategy too!

So thanks for that! Thanks for going the extra mile to give real and solid info and to help your readers learn the ways of the ninja! ;)

What do you get when you combine a box of hamsters, a generator and 10 lbs of corn flakes?

Most people will come up with: electrocuted hamsterflakes or cornstershock.

What you really get is food for your hamsters that gets them running faster and makes them generate some electricity which you then charge someone else for.

In other words, put 2 and 2 together and FORCE it it equal 8.

Think outside the box.

What I’ve done with it:

I realized because of Ruck’s genius for taking two things that don’t seem to have anything to do with one another and combining them profitably (yahoo answers and cpa offers) that I was my own biggest enemy.

I kept expecting to run into the guru who would hand me the magic bullet; that I could just flip the switch and make the magic money machine hum to life.

Over the last several months I’ve inventoried my life, kicked my bad habits (the 12 pack a night that was sapping my energy) stopped giving the best of myself to my day job, created plans, started things even though I knew I was going to fail at first.

I’ve accepted that failure is a requirement to success.

I’ve accepted that work is a requirement to success.

I’ve accepted that thinking is the hardest work there is and that my “thinking muscles” have gotten really weak since I have a good paying job.

But most importantly, I get my ass out of bed at 4 a.m. every day now.

Why?

So that I give the best of MY time to ME. I have my most “awake” and “alive” hours for ME instead of diving out of bed 5 minutes before I have to go to the daily grind.

I made a list of reasons to be rich and read it every day.

I made a map of the steps I have to take to get where I want to go and I MAKE time every single day to do some of them.

Ruck buddy, you know my story cuz we’ve talked privately, I think it’s no overstatement because of my health problem to say that I owe you my life bro.

That’s what I’ve gotten out of Ruck’s blog.

If I win, donate the $100 to someone who needs it more than me and let me give a little lesson here if you don’t mind:

Be grateful for every day you have.

Or one day you’ll wake up in the hospital with your blood pressure at 240/140 and NEED a miracle to ever walk or talk again.

You can’t count on tomorrow.

Don’t waste today.

I’m not really knocking you. Just sayin’

What did i do so far?
Started to follow your 60 days to a list report.
Had a lot of tech problems on the way but yesterday its started moving. So far 5 people on the list.

Cheers,

So I started experimenting with other ideas that just made sense to me and started having some success, but not really much to brag to the MS about.

About 2 months went by and I really didn’t do much more than sell stuff on Ebay. Kept looking for information online only to repeatedly run into a pitch page which for me meant dead end. Eventually, I did find some good blogs which eventually led me here (among some other great blogs, many of which are already on your blogroll.)

What have I learned?

1. For me, hands down, it’s been thought process. How you think about offers, about work ethic, about competition, about what’s possible and what it takes to get there. You’re personal story is inspirational, but so common to others who are truly successful. If I want to have what you have, then I have to think like you think.

1b. I got right on implementing a bunch of ideas that I already had been having, but just never tested…which brings me to number two.

2. TEST, TEST, TEST. In the past I would try something and if it didn’t work I would drop it and look for the next secret. I’m sure I could be far ahead of where I am now, had I kept pursuing some of the things I tried. I’ve now come back to some old ideas I had in the past and it ends up that they can be quite profitable if only I had asked the right questions in the first place.

3. I could list off all the specifics of the tactics that I have learned, but now I’m back to the fire hose. So my number 3 thing would be your ENTIRE FREAKING BLOG. Over the last two weeks I’ve read every post, every free report, every post you linked to, every thread you’ve referred to, and watched every one of your “videos”. What have I done with all of that info? Well, I’ll just say that I have done anything but implement and test for the last 3 weeks and I won’t be doing anything but implementing and testing for the next ??? weeks.

Result? Before Cash Tactics (3 weeks ago): $5/day outside of Ebay.

Today: $30 – $50 / day.

Again, nothing to brag about. You probably make that in about ohh…every 5 minutes on a bad day, but in my world every single dollar counts. Like a jet burns most of it’s fuel trying to get off the ground, the beginning is going to be the most difficult.

To sum it up. All the information is here. That’s no longer the secret. Action, testing, implementing, learning and thinking. As long as I’m healthy I know I can do all those things so it’s only a matter of time.

Thanks Ruck,
Cyrus

You see, I have been lurking about online since July 07, and my first purchase online was the RJ ebook. My first encounter with Ruck was in the RJ forum…and I must admit…he kinda scared me. Understand, I grew up in the 80’s, when computers were just starting to come around, and I lived the first half of my life not even knowing what a computer was. So this whole “online chat thing” was kinda scary.

Don’t get me wrong, I will pick up the phone and talk to anyone—it’s just something about the anonymity of the web that is intimidating to me.

So anyway, I followed Ruck to BHW…where again, I was to “scared” to come out of the shadows. When you haven’t really done anything online to talk about…it is hard to add quality to a conversation…and when the “Hey, great post, man!” gets ridiculed and bashed so heartily…it can make a person hesitant.

Now don’t get me wrong, I am no wilting wall flower, it is just that I lacked the computer knowledge that I needed to move forward. I have owned and managed rental property for the past nine years, I have been a Mortgage Broker for the past 14 years, and my husband and I have owned a sports bar for the past 4 years. If you’ve ever worked in a restaurant…you know it is not for the faint of heart, and I don’t suppose I have to tell you how the mortgage business has been lately.

It was somewhere between RJ & BHW that Ruck’s mantra, “Take action” finally moved me forward. So it is not necessarily any particular thing that I learned from the Cash Tactic’s Blog or Forum that has been successful for me, or what I have made the most money at. But it reminded me of what I already knew…and that is that to be successful, you have to be willing to fail.

So thanks for the motivation, the tips, the in-depth responses, the dangling of the proverbial carrot, and the belief that I CAN DO IT! And most of all, thanks for creating a forum that I felt comfortable enough to start participating in.

In closing, I will quote one of my most recent favorite Ruckism’s that keeps me motivated to figure this online thing out. And that is the goal of an easier life. “In case you forgot, autopilot income is better than sex.” …you did say we could quote you on that!

Cheers!

What it is that i have gotten out a your blog is that there is many many means and tactics to making money on the internet.Not every tactic is for everyone .Its all about finding what you like to do and enjoy doing that thing ,that is what is going to make you the money.

When I first came in contact with you, was in the RJ forum, working it in MS You were the first and only person to have offered your help to me .You had me on YIM for over an hour for free offering you assistance to me for free and because of that i went on to bringing in over $800 in my first month on the net .

Every since that day and time I have been hooked making money online and to you and your Ideas , methods, tactics and all the info you have dished out all over the place .

When MS did us wrong LOL , I have been doing nothing but Buying into almost every BH tactic there was. Being not to fast at getting things going and set-up ,by the time I was ready the tactic was saturated all to hell .

Then finally came along CashTactics the long awaited and anticipated blog. This has been the best thing that has happened to me and the whole entire IM community .Its just a mater of time for the word to spread to the rest of them ,then you’ll be the talk of the net .You’ll be the one with 15,000 subscribers and everyone looking up to ya ,as some of the other blogs have.

For me Ruck It’s all about making new friends , having Fun and surrounding yourself with smart intelligent marketers and then the money will come . To me if it’s all about making money and and your having a hard time coming by it your get your nickers in a naught and get all frustrated then just give up.But if you have a Friend Like Ruck and the blog and forum to help ,thing should work them self out.

So what the hell am I thing to say ,Ruck yes most definitely your blog and forum has helped me enormously ,every word you type I read Might go in 1 eye and out the other but one day i know I’ll need that useful pieces of info that you so kind heartedly gave for free.

What I have learned it to quit worrying what everyone else is doing and stick to just all the basics and things will happen .Multiply what you know works and keep multiplying it.Tweak and test (dam man all this shit is starting to scare me) Can’t wait to start to make my first none BH dollar .This is the year for it To happen I can feel it.

Oh Shit Man Sorry for the long Rant ,Rave,Post I had know idea I could type this much hope it all make sense to ya . Remember it not all about the money. I just wanted to let you know how and what i though about You and your Blog and Forum that you have put together for everyone to benefit from for FREE.

10 .Have positive thoughts words and deeds at all times. The Cashtactics

Community frowns on negative thoughts and will correct you whenever you

express negative thoughts.

09. Yahoo Buzz and Google Hot Trends must be checked several times per

day to determine what direction the internet is going at the current

time. You can spot trends and cycles with these tools.

08. Tunnel vision on Google as the know-all-to-end-all on the internet is

a fatal mistake for anyone starting out in business. Sure, they are the

biggest and most dominant company for Internet Marketing, but there are

other, more cost effective paths to profit. Think globally!

07. It’s about the calendar stupid! The calendar defines some major

Google trends. Planning a Christmas campaign in January or a Valentines

day campaign in July is not smart.

06. After you understand how to do something, pay someone else to do it

for you. Do only those things yourself that directly contribute to your

bottom line.

05. More is better in everything you do. There are Hall of Fame hitters

that only hit .333 and strike out more than they hit home runs. Try as

many different things as you have time for to increase your chances for

success.

04. Account Managers at every affiliate site are your best friends (after

Ruck), especially if they will feed you leads earlier than the the crowd

gets them. Make friends with as many of them as you can and keep them

happy. Ask them every question you can and listen for the answers.

03. In one word TEST

02. Reading Cashtactics.net from beginning to end is is worth more than

all of the “How to Make Money on the Internet” e-books that have ever

been published by Warriorforum and Richjerk members combined. Read it

several times and take plenty of notes.

01.Ultimately, all Internet Marketers are out there for a profit.

Reinvesting income to build up our skills, productivity, and experience

is vital to the growth that leads to these profits. A biproduct of this

process is that we get to feel good by helping in our own small way to

bootstrap others who follow in the path we are making or divert to a

parallel, more productive path that leads to greater profit.

That’s my Top Ten List. Now what did I do with the list? Well let’s

take them in order.

For number ten, I stopped thinking negative thoughts when Ruck chastised

me for thinking negatively in a post I made in the discussion forum.

For number nine, I religiously check each of these sites several times

per day. I’m amazed at how the internet changes during the day.

Ruck has explained in his blog many time how fatal it is to focus on

Google as the single source of success ( see number eight). He has

opened my eyes to the global world of Yahoo Answers, GumTree and other

Canadian and Australian sites as well as the use of Yahoo and Microsoft
search engines.

Number seven, is an applied truth. Stop thinking about tomorrow and

start thinking about what you can do now to create wealth. I am as

guilty of this as the next guy.

I have not gotten to the point where Number 6 is relevant to me yet. I

included it as a future truth so that I would not ever forget it.

Ruck has spoken many time about the importance of trying several things

simultaneously to produce the desired result as stated in number 5. I

reread that quote everyday to remind myself to keep going and drive away

the negative thoughts.

Number 4 is another Internet Truth. One thing I thought about was

getting a mentor and paying for advice to get me started. I lucked into

Ruck’s blog and found I could get advice at a good price (free). I have

joined Clickbank and Paydotcom to get access to the programs and I am now

in the process of finding account managers for these and other programs.

Number 3 is the Golden Rule. I think its the hardest part of any

campaign. Devising a testing strategy is extremely difficult and is one

of the things holding me back. I know better than to whine on the forum

and elsewhere about the problem and have begun an extensive research

campaign to find out what I don’t know about testing.

For Number 2, I’ve completed reading Cashtactics from beginning to end

once and will start reading it again. This time I want to take better

notes and have the material available for use. I sure wish the blog had

a sitemap though!

For Number one, If Ruck awards me with one of the prizes, I will invest

it in Hostgater, some selected domains and also in some tools to get

going and become a successful Internet Marketeer. If Ruck awards the

prizes to someone else, I will wish that person well and still continue

on my quest.

Thanks again Ruck for all your hard work.

1) Things have to be done in large doses- ie I’m inspired by the 50 yahoo answers accts. I had been jumping around posting 2 answers here and there, submitting 3 articles, a few craigslist posts to build a newsletter etc. This has to be a massive attack. Ruck’s done this in all contexts whether it’s article writing, landing pages, video submissions, yahoo answers, walmarts etc

I knew this when I did well with the scraper sites in the old days for hours at a time, but since then have been floundering in shell shock over the loss of the old auto generated site empires.

2) Stop time wasters like checking e-mail, watching office space often to compensate for day job (great movie though) , looking for the next holy grail for the 1k a day etc.

3) Add unique touch- as others mentioned, not copy Ruck but learn how to think like the way he put together the free weight loss bottle offer contest into the email newsletter/leads approach.
