This is the first installment and general primer for the “Zero To Hero” tactics and methods that I will be releasing over the course of December. Everyone is a true gem and if I had not incorporated them and still use them to this day, who knows where I would be. Damn sure not living on the moolah like I am now! So this will be Part 1 of the “60 Days To List Building Domination” method. The method is going to be drawn and extensive on paper (stack up on ink!) but I assure you after I walk you thru this, you will be cruising.

Background

Many of the sites you will see me utilize have been around for awhile. As a matter of fact you have probably used them in some shape or form, but I don’t think you have been using them to your full advantage. You see the idea behind this in the beginning for me was that I did not have time to make tons of sites. Normally, I still do not have that time, but I don’t need to now after developing the right formula. The sole principle of this method is to build 1 page. That’s right, we want to just build one page. Why? Because I can show you how to build multiple email lists in the thousands and juggle them all in a very timely fashion so that you have plenty of time to replicate the methods in broad form, and still concentrate on other tasks at hand. The methods have been honed to the simplest and easiest ways to handle thousands of email prospects, potential friends, and undoubtedly–>CUSTOMERS!

There is however initial work upfront. It can’t all be served on a silver platter, but if you munch on the appetizer tray for just a few hours, I promise that the main course will light up your eyes.

Over the course of this month I am going to release a series of installments of some general guides I have written up. For you more experienced and advanced marketers and money earners this may or may not be of interest to you and for that I apologize. I do have 3 very cool tactics that I am going to release and one VERY cool tactic that I am contemplating. When I started submitting videos awhile back I started receiving a lot of emails from general web users that saw a video and was curious as to how to start making money online. I have vowed to never write a report ever again and sell it so what I thought about doing was giving the reports away for free and you could purchase rebranding rights if you would like to sell the reports.

Don’t worry the rebranding rights are going to be ridiculously cheap. If your not familiar with them basically I will allow you to giveaway or sell my report rebranded with your own affiliate links inside. I use a vast amount of various tools online and a alot of the guides have affiliate links in them. These reports would be great primers for marketers on your list, or for getting prospects on your money making lists. If you don’t have a list, don’t worry, I have ALOT of cures for that :)

So over the course of December you will mainly be seeing *true cash tactics*. A few of them are advanced but most of them are going to be very basic with general curious people wanting to make money online in mind. Oh and if you haven’t subscribed to my RSS feed, then you need to. It makes me happy to see subscriber!

For all the whiners and crybabies wanting an explanation of why Google bitch-slapped them about a month ago and took away or degraded their pagerank, you should be happy to know that they have provided an official explanation.

Notice this:

Not all paid links violate our guidelines. Buying and selling links is a normal part of the economy of the web when done for advertising purposes, and not for manipulation of search results. Links purchased for advertising should be designated as such. This can be done in several ways, such as:

• Adding a rel=”nofollow” attribute to the <a> tag
• Redirecting the links to an intermediate page that is blocked from search engines with a robots.txt file

So it looks to be ok in selling links if you have the nofollow on them. I am sure this will stir up the blogosphere. Glad it is not one of my money making models. There’s just way to much bullshit to deal with.

I took the plunge over the last few days and decided to go with a dual monitor setup. I had a new machine built with more RAM and overall it’s just a beastly SOB. I am loving it. Here are a couple of pictures. I have yet to get my other 2 desktops and laptop back up on my desks. Come to think about it. I have an “L” shaped work area and I don’t think all 6 will fit. Time to build on maybe?

I thought I would share my personal method of using videos online to drive traffic to a few sites I own. I also use this simply to drive traffic to domains I redirect to affiliate programs but I much rather send my visitors to a squeeze page. It’s the thing these days you know! Actually, it always has been but it seems the effort it takes to make a squeeze, put in an optin box and write up a well thought out email series is just to much these days for white and blackhat marketers. So since I want to see you succeed I am going to give you the traffic building part of your marketing campaign a FREE massive kickstart in acquiring visitors. Maybe if traffic building was easier (or people were better at it) then maybe making money online wouldn’t be as hard it seems. In any case, I am going to reveal a 4 step strategy to get visitors to your site using online video.

There is nothing really secret about this. I use 4 programs (hence the 4 step process). If I am not mistaken then all of them offer a free trial. Now, on the basis of truly believing in these programs and to give you an unbiased opinion and details of these programs and how to use them to your fullest advantage, I have included ALL outgoing links in this post as NON-AFFILIATE links.

Yep, my fiance just reminded me yesterday that I am indeed 27 today. It had almost slipped my mind as I never really celebrated my birthday at all thru the years. Of course, I was working :)…Well I think I am going to go against the norm today and not do a single thing. As a matter of fact I woke up at about 9 am yesterday and was waiting around on 3 different phone calls.

My fiance wanted to go to Iola which (is 25 miles away) as it’s the largest town around us and that’s where we do the majority of our shopping. I didn’t even see it coming but she showed back up a couple of hours later and my oldest boy sprinted inside screaming “Daddy, we got you birthday presents”…Right then I was like WTF? Oh yea, it IS my birthday lol…

I love gaming on the Xbox 360. I was sadly disappointed this year when Halo 3 came out. It was nothing like Halo 2 in my opinion. It was the noobiest crap game I have ever seen. So I did spend the $75 on it originally but played it for like 2 weeks and have not played it since. As a matter of fact, I have been online so much I haven’t played ANY game in about 2 months.

Then my fiance comes home, and I have presents….

Traffic Brokering is a blast. If you have the capital to jump in balls first to test offer after offer it is one of the best feelings when you find a profitable one. As you can see from my last post about making money with ClickRiver, being different and having the will and ability to test new platforms with no regard as to what can happen, I can almost guarantee that you will find gems from time to time. When you do, it’s like getting the best (safe) high that you can get. Knowing that you just tacked on some passive income (at least for awhile) is a great thing :)

However…

Is it just me, or do a lot of people freak out knowing that they have to test Adwords? I get so fidgety and even agitated knowing that I have to test an offer in the shark waters of Adwords. I have ZERO problems taking my offers to Yahoo, MSN, Goclick, ABC Search or other smaller engines, but we all know the meat of traffic is at Adwords therefore it commands our attention to test the offer there. The moment I find an offer in one of my CPA Accounts I immediately begin asking myself

Can this Be Successful?

Will it convert?

Will Google bitch slap my landing page or even worse, my site?

Have I done enough research on this market to determine it WILL be profitable?

It’s just little things like that, that immediately start flowing thru my head. You have to realize when your traffic brokering, the bulk of your offers are most likely to have anywhere from $0.80-$2.00 payouts. I cannot tell you how critical your market research, demand, landing page AND site optimization are to help determine your cost in Adwords. Obviously the idea is to get the LARGEST gap between Cost Per Click and Earnings Per Click. The larger the gap, the better Return on Investment.

Man, it’s Saturday already. Even worse, it’s Saturday evening. I slept till almost noon today. What? Yea, I went to bed around 2 am last night and woke up around noon. Weird for me yes, that is about 6 more hours than I normally sleep. I believe since the metabolism is slowing down (obvious because of my weight gain) it is having an effect on my insomnia. Extra rest couldn’t hurt I guess. Anyway, here are some interesting things I caught throughout the week.

First thing I saw was the Shoemoney had PRK Laser Eye Surgeryand is recovering. It looks like he is doing well from his video. Shoemoney is definitely a character. There are tons of mixed reviews about the guy throughout all the forums on the net, but the fact remains, I have an enormous amount of respect for him and enjoy stopping by his blog everyday to see what he is up to.

I caught a great post on Courtney Tuttle - Before You Sell Your Blog where Courtney talks in detail about the ramifications and why it would not be a good idea to sell your blogs. I thought the summary “Time is your friend. Starting over is your enemy” was pretty cool. I don’t know much about Courtney but I found the blog via 45n5 and have bookmarked it and added the feed to my reader. So far it looks and feels like a great place to extend my reach and learn some more as I continue my businesses online.
