Project: Get Rich

Affiliate Marketing Starting With A Plan - Part 1 of 2.

2009-06-03T10:27:00.000Z

Affiliate Marketing is the hottest developing industry on the Net now. Revenue made by this channel runs into thousands of millions of dollars annually. A lot of people get involved in it without a solid business plan (failiure to plan is planning for failure). So, thousands want to earn additional income using affiliate marketing, but not having a real base plan, which is the most crucial aspect for being successful at affiliate marketing. Not having a plan is the downfall of many affiliates. Do you really want to be one of the tensofthousands who try? Or one of the hundreds that do?

Don't uphold any misconceptions, though affiliate marketing is an easy, personally and financially satisfying way or earning an extra income, it IS work, and just like any other job that requires effort, perseverance, and above all, a clear line of sight and plan of action from start to finish line.

Small things like setting up your home office properly, getting up to date on know-how, setting achievable goals, making people connections, and investment in your business will ensure that you are one-up on your competition, and also make sure that you firmly stand over them.

Home Office Setup

The most important step to take before becoming an affiliate marketer is to set up your base - little home office you’ve always wanted.

You can find many resources on the internet about ergonomic design. Ergonomic because anyone intending to spend a major amount of time working on their computers need space which promotes good posture at the same time takes care of safety issues involving their office workspace.

The key thing is turn off the TV, hole yourself away from distractions, turn on your answer machine as you don't want your 2 hours of time to pass chatting to your great aunt Clara.

Learning the Trade

Nobody gets into work untrained. Even when you applied for your first job, you had made sure that you are qualified and can do justice to it. Putting in a nutshell, no one hires you for giving you a free extra income without basic training.

What you need then, is to get some training on how to become a professional affiliate marketer. You can start by finding another one and check what they can do to help you. Learn through forums, subscribe to blogs like this one. also check out the key ebooks like this one.

Set Realistic Goals

The major problem that plagues most affiliate marketers is that they tend to set themselves unrealistic goals by being over confident about their skills and plans. This results in becoming disenchanted very quickly due to non attainment of goals. Being realistic removes a lot of pain in this context. For example a goal of $5,000 a month realistically attainable, but a first time affiliate marketer is not likely to attain it when starting up. Look to start with a slow burn, it may take a couple of months to make your first commissions, but persist. Re invest your knowledge and learn by your mistakes.

CopyNProfit Review
Claim: over $30,000 a month
Cost: $77 one off fee.

When something like this comes along I am usually tempted to buy it just to look in side and see what they really offer, as opposed to the "make money or your money back" claims that are followed by endless screenshots of clickbank reports packed with loads of dollars.

This product is actually software, and seems to do the job, just seed with a keyword and it will generate ads links etc for you. There seems to be very little to do accept to stump up the cash.

What Is Google Shadow? Review

2009-04-03T09:58:00.000Z

Google Shadow is another Clickbank / Google strategy aiming at making you loads of money!

Claims to generate profits of
$20,434 in a day and $44,453 in a week.
It is a automated system apparently that marries google with clickbank and amazon.

I believe that the claims are realistic, but it is not as easy as one would make out. It would require work and some significant money / personal cash injection over the $77 dollar subscription.

Like a lot of things this is a new business venture, not to be seen as a get rich quick scheme.

If you cannot afford the $77 a month - or indeed the hundreds of dollars/pounds you would have to spend on google ad words each month you might be interested in looking at the old staple of the master affiliate guide(version here has been revised with and extra resources for the UK.

Affiliate marketing Starting With A Plan - Part 2 of 2.

2009-03-13T09:49:00.001Z

Last time we said that $5,000 dollars a month may be a little of a pipe dream for the short term goal (mid term is fine). Starting with a smaller objective like $100 to $1000 affiliate profit a month, at the same time remember that the affiliate marketing business can bee a steep learning curve, so keep on the ball and up to date.

The 'realistic' numbers above may seem small, but it is achievable and affiliate marketing being a continuous learning process. Keep goals achievable otherwise it is very easy to get dis heartened.

Remember, you are also learning how to do things successfully at the same time. Give it some lead time and you could substantially increase your extra income using affiliate marketing.

Revise your goals often, maybe every other week. Remember that these goals ought aim for one greater single goal that you want to achieve in terms of success or in terms of amount of money in your pocket. Write them down on paper and make sure they are in visible from your desk at all times. This will help focus you towards your goals.

The next step would be the most important in your career as an affiliate marketer to earn extra income. Go out of your way and into the field to make connections and contacts with relevant and useful people in the affiliate marketing industry.

Forums and Blogs

Read other forums, this and other affiliate marketing blogs and most importantly CONTRIBUTE. A constant 2 way stream of information is shared helping each other. Learn from each others mistakes.

Getting out there to help people would be a better attitude to take rather than just looking for business, since this field of marketing works on a principle which says “Help yourself by helping others.” This is a better philosophy to follow in the long run to make long lasting friends and building a business that gives long lasting extra income. People out there will certainly help you when you are willing to help and extend the hand first.

If you can try and relate to these people, which I am sure you can, since you will be sharing the same objectives as they do in the long run of generating a good extra income, will relieve a great deal of work stress and as a result you will be able to perform better.

The moment you invest a little money in someone else’s business, you cannot be ignored. They will take you seriously and you will shine… all the time making that extra income!

Resurrecting this blog!

2009-03-03T09:41:00.004Z

After 3 years of starting this blog I am bringing it back from the dead. With the current climate there is the temptations to venture into these get rich quick schemes and systems and people can lose a LOT of money attempting these. Many of which require investment past in initial $97 or whatever cover price of the product.

SUBSCRIBE

I will be reviewing a number of products here and will be posting my long term findings. If you find a scheme or system please do let us know and we will review it. (best way is to comment on this post.

Before I go any further I am setting forth the GOLDEN RULE.

ALWAYS SET A BUDGET, AND STICK TO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is easy to let those adwords campaigns run on that little bit longer, or buy those few extra links, or think that getting a professional in will revamp your website and boost your sales.
NO, Don't Do It.

The whole idea of these systems is that the everyday Joe can put in the effort and minimum investment (a couple of hundred dollars) and actually start making a very good return on their time and profit. Always be wary of your pocket.

If you want some stuff to try for less than $2, check out this ebook, fantastic and a very good start / introduction to the world of affiliate marketing, and with this book you can start affiliate marketing with blogger blogs and other free access social media sites.

I will just say that most of these systems involve one of three things (or combinations)
Affiliate Marketing
Information Product Creation or resell
or
Forex

The first 2 are very low overhead if done correctly, the third is high profit and very high risk. You can try forex for free here and if you discover you have a flare for it you can decide whether it is worth you stumping up some money.

Affiliate Marketing: Profit with Articles

2009-03-03T08:50:00.001Z

If you can either write articles or have the promotion and marketing knowledge to publicize articles that others write, becoming an affiliate for several companies may be a great way for you to generate a good income right from your own home. You can do this by receiving part of the revenue off of sales that the company gets from people who “click through” from your website via the company’s links that are placed on your pages.

Since you will be promoting a product or service, you will need a killer sales pitch and website content to get your readers interested in the product, convince them that they cannot live without the product, and to keep them coming back to your website time and time again for more recommendations and your useful content, which will get them clicking on your links once again. Although many affiliate companies only give you money off of the first sale you make from each customer, you have the option of promoting a good range of companies so that you can still make a profit off of your returning customers.

If you cannot write this kind of content of your own, there are many ways to pick up free or paid content to place on your affiliate website. There are many reasons why paying for such articles would be to your advantage. First, you will be able to tell the writer exactly what you want, what product you are trying to sell, and what direction they can go in to keep your readers interested and informed. On the other hand, when you search for free content, you are limited to what is already out there. Secondly, you will own the copyright to this content. That means that no one else can reuse it without your consent. If you opt for free content, you will be sharing that content with an unknown amount of other affiliate websites, plus the original author will be able to place their byline at the bottom of the article which could result in them stealing your traffic.

There are many products that have nice affiliate commission rates for those who know how to pre-sale their product and deliver click through customers who are ready to buy. As long as you choose to promote a product or service that can be very useful to a wide variety of people, then pre-selling your chosen company may not be that hard at all. The key in this situation may likely be getting those customers to your website so that they have a chance to see your recommendations and click on your affiliate links.

If you cannot write for toffee check out the automated article writer now this is actually a very good purchase, allowing you to produce endless streams of readable keyword laden articles for your blog, website or newsletter.

Things you need to know about Article Directories

2008-04-03T12:25:00.000Z

Article directories are websites that house free articles. These articles are usually put there by whoever owns the copyright to them as a promotion method. Each article has the owners byline placed under it so that those who eventually read the article will know who wrote it (or at least who owns it) and will be able to get in contact with or visit their website for further information.

Articles directories are a great place to put your articles so that they will make you money. By using this method, people who are interested in your product or service will see your article, view you as an expert in the subject, and will visit your website. Even if you cannot write or do not have any knowledge on the subject on which you are promoting (for example for you run an affiliate website), you can always hire a writer to do the work for you. Getting quality articles written will be expensive up front, but they will pay for themselves in no time, either through affiliate sales or selling your own services, and everything from then on is pure profit.

Let’s take a real life example. Imagine that you are an accountant working from home. You write an article on an accounting topic and place it on various article directories. Those who are looking for the subject you wrote about will read your article, see that you have the knowledge and skill that is needed to do a job for them, and visit your website or contact you via e-mail. Your article just gained you a new client who may use your services regularly, but will definitely give you a nice profit at least once.

Furthermore, since you have posted it on a free article directory, others who have affiliate websites about accounting will inevitably use your article for their website. Since they must attach your byline to it, this will bring you even more exposure for every website that re-posts your article. This because you will be benefiting of off the traffic that they get to their website.

There are numerous article directories out there for you to utilize. Your bet best is to put a copy of each of your articles on every one for maximum exposure. It will eventually help to bring more traffic and customers to your website, which will lead to new orders and more profit.

Plan Your Blog - Go For Long Tail.

2008-03-27T20:03:00.000Z

Many people aspire to generating revenue from their website or blog, and this goal is not far beyond the reach of someone with average intelligence, a willingness to work hard, and a basic grasp of blogging technology.
Very few people manage to reap the profits they want from their blog. Most people who attempt to make money with their blogs do not succeed. This is for two main reasons:
1) Bloggers have over stated expectations of how quickly their reader base will grow and how much money they will make, and when these expectations are not met the disappointment can crush the desire to continue blogging.
2) Simply not planning ahead. If you want to make money as a blogger, the key to success is to make a realistic plan and stick with it.

To succeed at blogging for profit, the main thing that you will need is a large readership. The higher your traffic, the more advertisers will agree to pay you. However, building a base of regular visitors that you will need in order to make a profit is not an easy thing. As more and more blogs continually appear, having a great idea or an attractive writing style is no longer enough to get
attention. You need to be able to market your blog effectively.

Too many bloggers spend all of their time writing blog posts and almost no time marketing their blog. Updating as often as you can is a great way to keep your blog high on blogrolls and high in blog services like technorati, and once your readers know that you update frequently they will return to your site on a regular basis. However, it does not matter how often you update if nobody is reading your page, so do not skimp on the time that you spend drawing visitors to your site. To make your dreams of blogging for profit a reality, try decreasing your number of posts and using some of that time to draw new visitors by setting up link exchanges with other bloggers, making contacts in the blog community, and following other established modes of winning traffic.

Of course, even if you are a marketing genius or have a really great idea for a blog, success is not going to happen overnight. Building the kind of readership that blogging for profit requires takes time, and in all likelihood it will be at least several months before you are able to turn much of a profit. Try to stay committed to your blogging project during this initial rough period. To stay motivated, set goals for how often you will update and how many readers you want to attract, and then reward yourself for sticking with your plan.

Affiliates and Article Promotion Methods

2008-03-26T23:20:00.000Z

If you can either write articles or have the promotion and marketing knowledge to publicise articles that others write, becoming an affiliate for several companies may be a great way for you to generate a good income right from your own home. You can do this by getting commission through sales that the merchant gets from userd who “click through” from your website via the company’s affiliate links that you place on your pages.

Since you will be promoting a product or service, you will need a killer sales pitch and website content to get your readers interested in the product, convince them that they cannot live without the product, and to keep them coming back to your website time and time again for more recommendations and your useful content, which will get them clicking on your links once again.

More Squidoo Profits - And I haven't touched in months

2008-03-20T21:12:00.000Z

I am getting indirect benefit, but will have to see how it goes further down the track

The All Important Niche In Affiliate Marketing

2008-01-10T09:11:00.001Z

To make money with articles that you place on websites, you will also need a variety of good affiliate links that will help to generate revenue. It is important that you know where to find affiliates and that you choose the best affiliates for you and your niche site.

When you pick an affiliate, it is important that you determine which companies you will profit best from based on the frequency that the product is likely to sell. There are several types of affiliates and some will offer you more money from a sale than others will. Before you get hazy-eyed by dollar signs, however, remember some products are bound to sell more than others. If you sell on product four times a year from a little known company that gives you $100 per sale or sell a well known product 3 times a week at the rate of $10 per sale, then you will make much more money with the $10 per sale product. Often times large well known companies will offer a very small profit per sale because they are established and know that their product is likely to sell well. Small, unknown companies, on the other hand, need all of the promotion they can get. Also, because they are unknown, their products are likely to sell less frequently.

The most important rule when picking affiliates to promote on your site is to pick products that would be of interest to those who would likely visit your niche site. Otherwise you will be promoting a product to a group of people who do not even want nor need it. If your niche site targets parents of young children, then promote baby products. If you niche site targets gardeners, then promote gardening products. If you promote baby products to gardeners, you are almost guaranteed to not make a profit no matter how much money the affiliate company offers for a sale.

Lastly, there are two main ways to find an affiliate company for your niche website. You can sign up with a company that manages the accounts of hundreds of companies, big and small, and apply for the products within these accounts or you can do a web search for companies that would match well with your niche, visit their websites, and see if they advertise an affiliate program.

How much money can google adsense earn me

2007-11-03T23:32:00.000Z

How much do you want to make? How hard do you want to work? And how much time do you want to spend working the Google Adsense program?

These are the questions you must ask yourself in order to answer that question.

Look at it this way: how many business opportunities come your way where the only requirement is hard work and the time it takes to work hard? Not many. Almost any business venture requires some kind of start-up money.

If your total earnings is showing 0.00 after a week, not to worry. Keep reading and learning and working. If however, you’re still showing 0.00 after a month, it may be time to implement some of those optimization tips you’ll find on the Google Adsense Support Site. Play around with the placement of the ads on your site. Consider changing the colors. Look again at the content. Is it interesting?

As with any other business, with the Google Adsense program, the sky is the limit. Work hard. Work smart. Have fun. After all, you’re the boss.

Free Websites for Affiliates

2007-03-23T15:14:00.000Z

Page Rank 10 - whos product feed scripts I have raved about in the past has announced that the majority of his scripts will be released FREE.

Quote from a4uforum

We at pagerank10.co.uk are now in a position to give ALL our csv productfeed scripts away for free.

All we ask is for you to not remove the link back to our website which is in the footer of each script.

The site will now be funded by our api scripts, sponsored ads, affiliate links to networks and donations via paypal to sales@pagerank10.co.uk

More free scripts will be added and updated as usual so please keep checking back.

If you are a merchant we would be very grateful if you would put a link to your script from a relevent page on your website or request a script if we have not yet written one.

Fantastic.

So what do the scripts do? - They look like these
Office Supplies
Golf Store

So that you can reproduce a merchants product catalog on your own site.
Note some skill with PHP would be a boost as a few minor mods to the scripts will make some important improvements.

£1000 LCD tvs - Discounted to £100 at Woolworths

2006-12-18T11:19:00.000Z

Woolworths were offering a 'too good to be true' offer on LCD TVs
Blast a pricing blunder though.
Orders for the TVs exploded - some reports have it at around 1000
It seems that a mixture of computer error and human inputting may have led to a zero being left off the end of the TVs' retail price.

This sort of thing has happened previously with mixed results - some retailers have let offers through, others have not.

I am unsure exactky which model TV it was but here is a link to their main LCD TV page - Woolies LCD TVs

Skype users to get lie detectors

2006-12-14T13:14:00.000Z

From The BBC

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6179117.stm
Callers using internet phone system Skype who might be tempted to tell a few porkies should beware - the user on the other end may have a lie detector.
Skype is to offer the KishKish Lie Detector, which is made by BATM, as an add-on for customers.

It analyses audio streams over a Skype call in real time and illustrates the stress levels of the other person.

Skype's software lets computer users talk to each other for free and make cheap calls to mobiles and landlines.

'Greatly enhance'

Paul Amery, director of Skype developer programme said: "This is a really excellent application, and the kind of thing we want to see more of.

"Lie Detector is the latest in a variety of product in our premium add-on programme which greatly enhance the Skype communication experience."

No price has yet been set on the application, or a roll-out date.

The lie detector is the latest products which Kishkish has designed for Skype users, with others including voice mail and call recorder.

BATM says it hopes to be able to provide Skype users with further additions in the near future.

As well as operating in real time the KishKish device can also record calls for analysis later.

Internet auction firm eBay bought Skype - which says it has 136 million users - in September 2005 for $2.6bn.

Amazon Affiliate Blog

2006-12-12T11:51:00.000Z

I have just spotted this blog today - http://affiliate-blog.amazon.co.uk/
An official amazon blog. Potentially quite useful (atm reading how 13 digit ISBN numbers will affect linking to amazon - if you have a book site that links to amazon you need to read this - http://affiliate-blog.amazon.co.uk/2006/12/13digitisbn_how.html
All those who use feed readers the blog rdf file is here

Also a point of interest with the amazon astores. I have just noticed that they link back to the associates program using the affiliate tracking id of this store. I must ask the question then - will affiliates start getting referral bonuses for referring new affiliates to the amazon associates scheme?

Taking The wii

2006-12-07T16:02:00.000Z

The Nintendo wii has been a bit of a sucess story amongst some affiliates this year.

Amazon.co.uk famously sold out of their entire pre order stock in 7 minutes, creating a good many sales for affilites. Now with the official nintendo wii release date tomorrow gamers who haven't ordered a console yet will probably be dissapointed.

Profiteering on the wii has begun alreads with many selling their safely preordered wii on ebay.co.uk and ebay.com Many going for excess of £350. Where the original console price was nearer half this price mark.

I have set up a wii Console RSS feed that can keep you informed in price and availability of wii games consoles

Pick from the services above to subscribe to this wii availability notification service.

Some people are making a killing with wii.

2006-12-05T22:11:00.000Z

I have been toying with aSensibleStore.com in order to add extras to an amazon astore.
There service is ok and you may want to check it out.
What I wanted though is an astore that had my domain name, without doing any framing or 301 redirects.
What I came up with is this -
http://www.flavour-shaker.co.uk/ which is based on the new Jamie Oliver device of the same name. It is essentially an astore included in my domain. This is useful for two reasons.
I can further control Layout and extras (extra links - adwords rss feeds etc) and urls are resolved to my domain - http://www.flavour-shaker.co.uk/jamie/flavour-shaker-21/detail/B000INFF9A/
I can track traffic using google analytics or server logs
WHen a product is added to the shopping cast though the site jumps to the astore.
The script is very simple but powerful.
I will be tweeking the script and will eventually post it here. So if you want this free powerful script just subscribe to this blg using your feed reader

YouTube vs Traditional TV

2006-11-27T11:06:00.000Z

The battle was on today TV vs Internet video sites - below is from BBC News

Online video 'eroding TV viewing'

Video sharing site YouTube has taken online viewing to the masses
The online video boom is starting to eat into TV viewing time, an ICM survey of 2,070 people for the BBC suggests.
Some 43% of Britons who watch video from the internet or on a mobile device at least once a week said they watched less normal TV as a result.

And online and mobile viewing is rising - three quarters of users said they now watched more than they did a year ago.

But online video viewers are still in the minority, with just 9% of the population saying they do it regularly.

Interesting to see how this trend goes, will there be a TV vs Internet battle - or will the services merge in the age of Digital TV.

Personally I would like to see a merge and maybe have youtube as a channel on UK satalite TV.

Looks like no cheep Beer, spirits and wine online for the UK

2006-11-23T09:53:00.000Z

From the BBC - "EU blocks low-duty alcohol online"
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/6175646.stm

There was fear/delight that it would be legal for spirits, beer, wine and tabacco products could be imported via mail order to the UK where the duty paid to the government on said items is very high.

But today the EU saw fit to stop this.

Shoppers wishing to get the benefit of buying cheaper goods abroad have to accompany the goods back themselves.

It had been feared a ruling going the other way would have hit thousands of UK retailers, could have spelled the end for the "booze cruise" and forced the UK goverment to recoup lost tax in other ways.

Good thing or bad thing - not quite sure.

Getting Links In - Better than Adsense?

2006-11-22T14:39:00.000Z

If like me you are blowing a good few hundred dollars / pounds / euros (or whatever) a month on google adsense it might make sense to try some alternative methods to get some quality traffic.
One great way is to buy text links from a service like text-link-ads depending on the quality of site you can pay anything from $20 - $600 dollars a month for a link. If you have a quality site you can benefit from this cash by 'renting ad space' out to using the same text-link-ads service.

As agreat intro bonus text-link-ads are giving away $100 in FREE Links.

Text links in can be great as they can also be good for SEO.

All you need is the one free sign up (you can sign up with Text Link Ads HERE) and you have access to their ad sales and affiliate program.

Also they have a bundle of tools like their link worth calculator.

Dating Affiliate Programs

2006-11-22T12:34:00.000Z

There are a few dating programs out there - but lets face it they only pay a couple of pounds for a sign up.

What we are seeing more of in the affiliate industry now are programs with revenue for life. This is where the future lies.

I have just signed up for the amazing EasyFlirt where you can brand your own dating website and gain loads of javascript creatives to plug easily into your site.

I very quickly knocked up this site though there are fully customisable meta tags and page titles (that I will have to find the time to ammend later on) you can also change the branding to match your site.

As far as getting paid goes you receive 55% of the subscription purchases and 55% of the subscription renewals.

At the time of writing that is 13€ a month - about $16 US Dollars and about £8.50 pounds sterling. Get a few to register and these payments will soon mount up.

Buy.at Affiliate Network announcent

2006-11-20T12:27:00.000Z

Just a little announcement of interest from Buy.at

buy.at is moving to paying affiliates by BACS bank transfer to all UK bank accounts. This means no more trips to the bank with big cheques!

Tonight, emails are going out to all our affiliates we forecast will be receiving a payment at the end of this month. It will explain the process of getting the details back to us.

This does have a tight deadline in it for November (next Monday the 20th), but if you don't manage to do it for November's run there will be bags of time for December's run. BACS amounts will arrive on the 29th of the month.

Good to hear, been a long time comming as buy.at have been one of the very few affiliate networks that still pay using paper cheques.

This is a vast improvement on the open source forum packages I have used as both
a webmaster and a fourm user.

First ClickBank Cheque

2006-09-06T21:22:00.000Z

Got my first clickbank cheque, but for only about $70 USD. Thats about £35 after currency conversion rates and only about £25 after bank charges.

For those in the UK accepting USD $ Cheques I have this little piece of advice, save them up. There is usually a fee for each batch of cheques rather than each cheque. OR if possible set the payment threshold higher, something I should have done with ClickBank

Anyway money is continuing to come in in fits and starts, I might even have a bank balance worth bosting about on this site soon.

Just wait and see.

Making Money Out Of Posters.

2006-09-04T16:11:00.000Z

Been playing with All Posters, - fantastic commission rates - up to 30%, beats most affiliate progs that deal with 'tangiable' products (ie not downloads or services) with Christmas coming up this should make a killing.

The AllPosters Affiliates Program is a great way to make money with your website. Link to AllPosters and earn 25%-30% of every purchase made by your site visitors at their website. If the visitor decides to purchase within 10 days of their last visit from your website, you'll still earn commission on the sale!
Fantastic to note that a variety of languages and currencys are supported. I have my USA movie poster store and my UK movie poster stores already and I am working on my German and French poster stores now.
You can link to AllPosters from a selection of over hundreds of thousands poster and art print images as well as poster stores and mini stores. They have posters related to just about everything (e.g. movies, music, sports, art, animals) so no matter what the content of your site is, you will find images that are a good fit. It’s easy to sign-up, track your sales, and build links because the site generates all the HTML code for you.
Sign up today!

I have set up a movie site here using their webservices - http://www.mousetomovies.com/ the posters com up through the main site - but a poster datafeed webstore can be seen here: http://www.mousetomovies.com/movieposters/

Google let you host their software

2006-08-29T11:06:00.000Z

Might be of interest to those who read this blog. Revenue potential also:

Search engine Google is to let firms run its email, calendar and other services on their own domains, to build on its offerings for individuals.
The move places Google, whose focus has been searching and advertising, in direct competition with Microsoft, as it updates its Office package.

Google says it is answering a demand from firms for entire systems rather than individual services.

Later this year, Google will offer a paid-for version of the software.

The price of such a version, which would not hold any advertisements, has yet to be set.

Make Money Buying and Selling Website Domain Names

2006-08-25T15:14:00.000Z

There is an increasing demand for quality domain names and used domain names and domain names with traffic.
Topical domain names can sell for 5 figure sums and some dell for 6 figure sums (although it is very unlikely that you will find these.)
In the UK a .com domain name costs under £10 a year. So by buying the correct name and reselling using a service like SEDO for $100 can bring BIG profits, especially if done in bulk.
Domains can be bought for very low prices from places like 1and1 and 123reg

Things to look out for when buying domain names for profit

get a generic term

one or two words only

avoid hyphens, although hyphenated domain names can be a good substitute if a generic term has already been bought

Try mispellings / typos

Mispelling tools can be found on sites like SEOchat

Once you have bought your domain name -PARK YOUR DOMAIN NAME with sedo. You will get payed for visitors who visit your domain and then click on a link that is listed by sedo.

Sale of domain names can be done through sedo or ebay

Making Big Money On Blogs.

2006-08-24T09:22:00.000Z

Ok So I havent acheived this yet - but some top bloggers are really getting the money in:

" the blogging-for-dollars phenomenon is only in its infancy, and already blog ad spending is roughly twice what it was last year. With overall Web advertising expected to grow by 50 percent to $23.6 billion in 2010, it's certain that more and more ad dollars will land on blogs"

$23.6 Billion Dollars is a lot of money. So getting rich may not be such a pipe dream

See the full article:
Blogging for Dollars
It's not just a hobby -- some small sites are making big money. Here's how to turn your passion into an online empire.

PageRank 10 - Exciting Project

2006-08-18T20:06:00.000Z

A little project I just heard of

PAGE RANK 10 - Increase Google Pagerank

From their site: "Linking to this website will increase its page rank. The top referers are displayed below
which will get your website visitors and also increase your own page rank and traffic.

My goal is to go from PR0 to PR10 within 730 days starting from 20th April 2006"

In addition this guy has a fantastic selections of pre made websites based on affiliate network datafeeds

Now This Looks Like a Great online Job...

2006-04-13T12:45:00.000Z

...Getting paid for taking part in surveys
Being part of focus groups and completing surveys and getting paid what seems to be a fair wack for what will only be a few minuites at a time.

Get paid

online surveys

Get paid

JOIN NOW - CLICK HERE
There is nothing to download. You do not need any special computer or operating system. You simply log in and find surveys. This can be done from any computer, at any time.
I was worried that this will be USA only - but just read in their FAQ (see FAQ here)
Some companies will only accept survey takers in the USA, but most are looking for Survey takers from all over the world.
Looking good - won't make my millions but will be a fantastic stop gap and fill in the time I would just be mindlessly browsing.
Registration fee is about £20
The getting paid to fill out online surveys will probably be the best option for me - as I said it is a great work from home possibility.
If your interested check out their site by clicking this LINK
Quick conversion into pounds from their site:
If you took 2 surveys a day @ £5 per survey = £70 per week or £280 per month or £6,720 per year!
If you took 4 surveys a day @ £5 per survey = £140 per week or £560 per month or £13,440 per year!
If you took 4 surveys a day @ £10 per survey = £280 per week or £1120 per month or £13,440 per year!
Surveys can range from 10 to 30 questions, so I assume take about 20 mins to complete. and if you get £5 per servey that is effectivly £15 an hour.
They say you can get paid up to $125 per servey - if that took 20 mins that would equate to about £200 an hour. I don;t expect to see many of those.
If you are interested see their site
They also have data entry oppertunities. - for all the ins and outs see their site

What to do with the Money?

2006-04-12T21:42:00.000Z

Ok - Jumping the gun a bit
I am wondering what I will do with the money once I have the target £200 000 bank balance.

Just a quick list..

Pay Off Mortgage. £100,000
New Car £20,000
Spending Spree on clothes £5,000
42 inch Plasma Screen TV £1,2000
New Top Range Laptop
Big Chunky expensive watch
Star Wars Limited edition Canvas print £75

Probably save a bit and invest a bit - any other ideas out there?

How Can You Help?

2006-04-11T10:38:00.000Z

I have neen asked a few times how people can help.
There are two easy ways to help me on the way to acheiving my goal.
The first and easiest is to make
http://www.changewebsites.co.uk/
your home page. This is a useful site with loads of easy links and the ability to add your own news stories to the front page, for example click here to add this blog as your news source.

The second way is to add a link to this blog - even better would be to blog about this blog. Thanks to Keith who blogged about this blog here. If you use blogger you can use the Blog This link in the tool bar above, if not just use the URL http://projectgetrich.blogspot.com/.

As a quick update I will let you know that work is progressing and there have been dribs and drabs of revenue - but I expect this to really pick un in the next 4-8 weeks once google has a hold of my sites, and some of my other works pay off.

I hope to update in the next week or so with the methods I have been using and the results I have been getting - there should be an occasional general update between now and then though.

Cheers for now

Just a little warning...

2006-04-06T10:48:00.000Z

This blog may go a little quiet over the next few days.
I have set myself alot of work to do and I am starting to really push at this.
I have been spurred on by setting myself targets, bases on a 'double my money'
I figured out that I need to get £6k by the end of this month - see below:

01/05/2006 £6,250.00
01/06/2006 £12,500.00
01/07/2006 £25,000.00
01/08/2006 £50,000.00
31/08/2006 £100,000.00
01/10/2006 £200,000.00

This will be a very steep learning curve and monetary curve.
Less posting - more working!

As it takes money to make money this may still be obtainable - I may have to be very clever when reinvesting

The way the internet works though I may not see any real return on my efforts for three months or so!

Please don't miss out on my future posts and get bored if I don't post for a few days. Subscribe to my RSS FEED. If you use My Yahoo as a home page click here, and if you use Google Fusion Click Here

If you use another feed reader you may have to click and drag this link to your reader.

Here is the URL of the feed if none of the above help - you will probably have to copy and paste it into your feed reader

Right then, need your feedback - do I go to the pub tomorrow (Friday) night, or do I work on the project?

The Money Starts To Roll In...

2006-04-05T08:41:00.000Z

... well I made my first 13 cents (US) last night.
Oh how happy I was. Being based in the UK 13 cents doesn't mean much to me so I used XE.com currency converter to see how much it is in pounds and pence. Wow nearly 7 and a half pence! See this link to see how much my fortune has changed due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

Just another £199,999.93 to make and 5 months and 25 days to do it!

What Have I Been Up To?

2006-04-04T11:05:00.000Z

£130.69 / $227 USD (current balance) - -£69.31

Well I have set a number of balls in motion.
Firstly I have set up a selection of content rich sites. These include a Golf, Fishing, Web Hosting, cell phone and coffee sites. These will generate revenue through Adsense (for info and sign up see right) and through referred sales using merchants from these sites AffiliateFuture and Paid On Results
More of the same coming soon!

I have also set up a Residual Income telecoms site (Thanks Nadeem) that can be found here - if anyone else wants to try this you can sign up (for Free) here

General Update

2006-04-03T22:41:00.000Z

Wow things are picking up.
My 'slow burner' project has just been picking up steam.
I have set up 7 content rich sites that should start picking up revenue once they start filtering into the search engines. These are definitly cash over time sites and I will probably do a monthly update on how much $$/££ they have made.

Continually adding these sites, will maybe post a directory of these sites here at a later date.

Not a penny in revenue yet - but then the project is still only 2 days old. I expect to start turning over the 'green' by the end of next week.
I have given myself 6 months to make the £200,000, thats about £35K a month - thats only just over £1,000 a day. Once you break it down link that it is still daunting - maybe even more so.

Residual Income - A residual Income Site Sounds Nice

2006-04-03T13:03:00.000Z

I am currently looking into residual income business opportunitys. These are really what I want to get into. This way I can set up a site / account etc and receive money on an ongoing basis. even better are passive residual income oppertunities, where once you have set up an account you have to do nothing else other than bank the money
One way to earn residual income - especially if you are creative - is to design and sell T shirts / mousemats etc with Cafepress, they also offer a referral scheme where you can create a residual income by referring other members - Join Here. A very similar site is equisto - which does much the same thing but is Europe based - join here

These are free to sign up with - and free is my favourite price.

Here I am just really looking at online residual oppertunities - but there are many offline.

Nice little ebook - Residual Income Streams Guide. BUT this looks more my style - i feel another purchase coming on. One Page Money Makers. [ Take 1 Hour. Make $300/mo. Repeat. The step-by-step system for real, repeatable residual income. ]

Will post soon - let you know what else I find.

Project Get Rich Clarifcation

2006-04-02T21:32:00.000Z

Just a little clarification to Project: Get Rich, I will only be using legal and ethical methods for this project. There are many paths that I can take that are illegal, unethical or just in the 'grey zone' that I will not touch.

One of the first things I thought of was the 'Million Dollar Home Page' style approach, though I don't have a USP (Unique Selling Point). I think that this type of Pixel site works best for charities and other charity websites. If you are thinking of a million dollar pixel site for a charity you could do worse than look here to buy a million dollar pixel website.

I am still working with my first purchase. I will post here once I have some results going on.

TTFN

First Spend - Will I make The Money Back Soon?

2006-03-31T22:35:00.000Z

£130.69 / $227 USD
Well I have spent my first few pounds, eating about 1/3 of my budget (ouch)
Not prepared to tell you what I have done yet, I have a little setting up to do at the moment then all will become clear.

It is now nearly midnight and April Fools day. I really hope that I am not the fool - but then again this is a bit of fun and we will jsut have to see what happens

First Steps - Monetising this Blog

2006-03-31T19:33:00.000Z

£200 / $350 (current balance)

I hope that this blog will get some interest so my first step in 'getting rich' is to add Google Adsense to the site.

This generates revenue when adverts are clicked on, and is a boon to any content rich site. Webmasters can sign up with adsense by clicking the banner to the right in the 'Resources Used' section.

In addition it is worth pointing out at this point that blogs are a very good starting point on any mission to get rich, through blogger.com blogs can be created for free (my favourite price)

I am currently researching Get Rich Quick Schemes and have my eyes on a more 'slow burning' project to start me on my quest.
Once this is set up I will be looking at some of the morefast track approaches to getting the £200,000

Concept of Project: Get Rich

2006-03-31T18:47:00.000Z

£200 / $350How many times have you seen a get rich scheme advertised on the internet?
Most of them are rubbish, right?
If it were that easy everyone would do it, wouldn't we?
Well most people are put off for just that reason.
My aim - which will be documented by my blog at http://projectgetrich.blogspot.com/, is to put some of these to the test.
Armed with just £200 (about $350 USD), I hope to balloon this to a whopping £200,000 ($350,000 USD) within 6 months
Appropriately I will begin this exercise on April 1st 2006, as I may look a fool by the end of this.

One thing I will make clear now though, I am no novice to internet marketing or web design, but I am by no means a dot com millionaire (yet!).

After reading barrage of "make over $120,000 every single month" and "earns over $500/day" I plan to put these to the test and my findings (logged as often as possible on my Blog - http://projectgetrich.blogspot.com/) will be there for the world to see, and either spur on potential entrepreneurs or to stop people wasting their money on these opportunities

So the next six months may end up being a very quick drain on my pocket - or could see my bank balance rocket!

Time will tell.

So here we are, fingers crossed and wallett open
