Investing Thoughts

Alright, I found some time to finally make an entry on this blog of mine. For the past couple of weeks, I've been really thinking about investing my money on either stocks or the forex (foreign exchange) market.

I've always known about the stock market and in actuality, I've started to read a couple of books about it and to tell you folks the truth, it's not as hard as some people claim it to be. Sure, there are all sorts of research you have to do in order to find a good investment for your money, but I really thought it was going to be an overwhelming experience but thankfully it's not.

I've listed a couple of books before here on my blog. Actually if you look at the upper left corner, you will see that I've posted Jim Cramer's book as one of the books to read this year. He's a very funny guy and I've been watching his show on CNBC and actually like it. Granted, I am still getting to know the stock lingo, but it's very informative. I've also been fiddling around this website called Motley Fool. It's a pretty good website and they focus more on the "buy and hold" cliche of stock investing.

As far as the Forex is concerned, I've dabbled with a few systems. Hmm...maybe I'll do some reviews as well...but anyways, I believe I may have a found a pretty good system to trade the forex but from what I understand, the forex market is a very volatile market. You can lose your money pretty quick if you don't know what the heck you're doing. The only drawback I see is that it's hard to find a good, honest and reliable forex broker. I'm hearing that most of these "bucketshops" brokers are only in it to take your money. They stop hunt you and are only nice as long as you're losing money. As soon as you start to profit, they mess with you account or start cancelling your orders. So this is going to be a good challenge for me.

Well, guess that's it for now. I haven't given up on Internet marketing or making money online programs. This blog is about making money so I'll post whatever can make me or should I say "US" some money.

Ciao!

GC Detective Update!

Heads up guys...the long awaited 2nd coming of the GC Detective is coming out tomorrow! It's going to be pricey but for what it can do for you and your campaign, it should be worth it. Here's an excerpt from the email I got from Chris Carpenter.

"

I have some exciting announcements about the Google Cash Detective.

First, the Google Cash Detective will be available starting tomorrow,
Tuesday, July 10 at 12 noon Central time for one week or 500 members,
whichever comes first.

Second, Google Cash Detective Version 2.0 is now a complete online
keyword research tool with no software to download. All of the
Detective’s search results are delivered in an online format with a web browser.
We host Google Cash Detective on our state of the art servers. You
simply login and start using it immediately.

The next exciting announcement is that the Google Cash Detective has
just become much more powerful. The Detective is now more than just a
keyword monitoring tool. Now you can have access to our entire network of
data.

I’ve personally been monitoring hundreds of thousands of keywords for
the last six months. We’ve included all of that data into the Google
Cash Detective global database. Currently we are monitoring over 1
million keywords. We are adding to this tens of thousands of keywords per
day. Our goal is to monitor millions of keywords in a few short weeks
from now.

What this means is that when you enter a keyword into the Detective. If
we have data on that keyword then we give you all of the historical
data right then, no waiting for the Detective to monitor it. However, if
you enter a keyword for which we don’t have any data, then we’ll
begin monitoring it immediately.

There’s even more. Now in the Detective, you can enter a URL into the
“Watch List” and the Detective will show you all of the keywords
that are in our database that have been used and are currently being
advertised for that URL. The Detective also shows you the profitable
Adwords Ads for those keywords and much more.

This makes the Google Cash Detective an extremely powerful competition
analysis tool. In fact it’s as if we give you access to your
competitors Adwords account.

You enter the URL of a competitor into the Detective. The Detective
gives you the keywords from our large database, for which that competitor
is advertising with in Adwords. The Detective also shows you for each
of those keywords the Adwords Ads that were run, their frequency, and
identifies which ones are profitable and which are not.

And don’t forget that the Detective works together with the Google
Cash Automator. The Detective shows you profitable Adwords Ads and the
keywords associated with them. You can then import this information into
your Google Cash Automator account. The Automator automatically imports
everything into your Adwords account and allows you to track your
keywords through to conversions for most affiliate programs.

Building your keyword lists and growing them is only part of becoming a
legitimate competitor is any space. Just having a large list of
keywords is not nearly as valuable as having a list of keywords that convert
to sales. Only around 10% of your keywords account for 90% of your
sales.

The Google Cash Detective helps you identify keywords that are
converting to sales for your competitors. You can then import those keywords
and their associated Adwords Ads into the Google Cash Automator. The
Automator will track your keywords all the way through to the sale, even
for affiliate programs. So then you can delete the non performing
keywords and pump up the volume on your converting keywords.

By using the Google Cash Detective and the Google Cash Automator
together you can enter a market with a superior advantage, because you start
by using keywords and Ads that you know are already profitable. Then
you track each of those keywords through to conversions. So you can keep
and nurture the profitable keywords and delete the keywords that
don’t convert to sales.

Here’s how the pricing will work for the Google Cash Detective and
the Google Cash Automator.

This is special pricing since you are getting in on the ground floor.
In the future as our database grows and the information becomes much
more valuable, the price will go up dramatically. So get in on this low
price now, and you’ll be grandfathered in at this low price forever.

The Google Cash Detective will cost $497 per year. That equals less
than $42 per month. We also offer a payment plan so you can pay in three
low installments. Our nearest competitor costs $291 per month, which
equals $3492 per year. And their service is not nearly as powerful as
ours.

For less than $42 per month you’ll be able to monitor 5000 keywords.
Soon we’ll offer upgrade options at reasonable prices so you can
monitor even more keywords.

With the Google Cash Detective you receive 60 days Free to try the
Google Cash Automator. After those 60 days, the Google Cash Automator costs
$97 per month. You can cancel the Automator at anytime and can
continue using the Detective on its own. They are separate services.

Remember this is Special Early Bird Pricing. And for the powerful
information that the Detective will give you, this is really a steal. Soon
the Detective will cost at least $97 a month, and then $197 a month.
And it will still be a great deal for accessing our huge network of
competition data.

You have an opportunity right now to get in on the ground floor and
lock in the super low price of $497 per year, which is less than $42 per
month.

Google Cash Detective will be available starting tomorrow Tuesday, July
10 at 12pm Central Time at this low price for 1 week or 500 members,
whichever comes first.

Don’t miss your opportunity. Join the Revolution today!"

Sincerely,

Chris Carpenter

GC Detective Update

I wrote a post about the Google Cash Detective a while back and if you missed the first launch of this sofware, get ready for the next one.

As you all know, or if you don't, the GC Detective is basically a software that will help you detect profitable google campaigns by monitoring them for a certain amount of time. It will literally tell you which ads are profitable and earning money. All you have to do is model after that ad and/or copy it. Heck, it even tells you what keywords your competitors are using to help them make money. So this can be a powerful software if you learn how to use it.

Chris Carpenter will be launching this software again this coming July 3, 2007 at 12 noon central standard time. Hope you guys will take advantage of this opportunity.

You can visit this link to get this software. It will be active come July 3rd. If you go to it right now, it will say the software sold out. But like I said, wait until Tuesday and you should be able to purchase this product. Good luck!

Think and Grow Rich - Tips to a wealthier Lifestyle...Part 1

If you haven't picked up your copy of "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill, you have got to be out of your mind. I just recently finished the book and all I have to say is that it is one bad ass book. I know that people who have become successful have read the book and applied the techniques described in it.

Today I will share with you some tips I learned to help you or maybe I should say help us become rich in the near future. One thing I got out of the book is that you can dream or daydream about becoming rich, but if you don't put it into action, nothing will come out of it. You have got to have the desire and the passion to put your dream of becoming big into work. Do whatever it takes to become successful and don't ever let anyone bring you and your dreams down.

Here's a little method to help you turn your DESIRE into reality.

1. Close your eyes right now and tell yourself how much money you want to make. Don't just say "I want to be rich" or "I want a lot of money." Focus on a specific number, like "I want a million dollars by next year" or "I want to make $3000 next month." Picture that in your mind and believe that the money is already in your possession. Remember, the key here is to be specific.

2. Determine what you need to give up in return for getting the money. You're going to have to sacrifice something in order for you to reach your goal. Whether it's the Starbucks latte every morning or Mcdonalds every lunch break. Remember, you can't get something or anything for that matter for nothing.

3. Grab your calendar right now and circle a date that you intend to acquire your money.

4. Whether you are ready or not, get your gameface on and get to planning on how you are going to acquire your money. You will not achieve millionaire status if you don't have a plan or strategy. You can't do this blindly. Think about it, would you go to war without knowing and learning about your enemy? Heck no! So what makes you think you can become rich without some sort of plan? Remember, put this thought into action whether you believe you are ready or not.

5. Now that you have everything planned, write it out. This will help you get a better understanding of what you have in mind. Make sure that you are specific on the amount of money you want, the date you want to have the money, determine what you need to give up to earn it and have your battle plan all thought out.

6. After you're done writing it out, post this plan somewhere where you can see it all the time. Read it once after you get up in the morning and once before going to sleep. Read this out loud and believe that you already have this money.

That's about it for now folks. Did you learn something from this? I sure hope so. I am still in the planning stages myself but as long as you believe, you can achieve anything. So with that, I leave you with a quote I found on the book.

"WHATEVER THE MIND OF MAN CAN CONCEIVE AND BELIEVE, IT CAN ACHIEVE"

Average Joe Income Package Review




I'm pretty sure that by now, you have heard of the Average joe income package. It's actually being confused with another product called Average joe marketer. I did a full scale review here and I even included some FREE bonuses. If you are truly a beginner in the world of affiliate marketing, then give this system a try. If you're already a seasoned veteran, then you probably won't find anything new here. The author Kris McCarty provides easy to use videos and e-books to help you understand his system and implement his strategies.

Like I said, I did a full page review of the Average joe income package here so I won't do another review in this blog. That would be too redundant. Visit the link instead and you will find that I also give out FREE bonus items to help you get an edge on affiliate marketing. One of the bonuses I'm giving out is worth $427 but it's all yours FREE! So, grab the Average joe income package, apply his techniques then use my bonus items to further increase your chances of becoming a successful Internet Marketer and make some money online!

Google Cash Detective - Free Special Report


I'm sure that by now you've heard of Chris Carpenter, the author who started it all when he released his program called Google Cash way back in 2003. Unfortunately, I heard of his program back then but didn't buy it because if you read my post about my experience with Google Adwords in the past, then you know that I lost a great deal of money using it only because I didn't know what the heck I was doing. I've since bought his program and it's pretty good althouth I've heard a lot of people that said his program doesn't work anymore since the infamous "Google Slap" but I believe that it's still a very useful program especially if you're a beginner and want to start in PPC advertising.

Ok, before I get sidetracked, I want you guys to take a look at this new report by Chris. I'm not really blown away by these FREE reports that I get in my email, but from time to time, I get a gem. If you've been following my blog, then you know that I've offered free reports before and most of them are pretty good and very informative. Right? Well, here's another one that blew me away.

Basically, this report is about a new software that will dramatically help you make money online using PPC advertising aka Google Adwords. For those that have been unsuccessful in PPC, think about this. How would you like to:

  • Promote affiliate programs that you know are going to make you money?
  • Use the exact keywords that are profitable and highly targeted to help you promote that product?
  • Write an ad copy, word for word, to use on your Adwords campaign? No more excuses on why you can't write a good ad copy.
The hard part is being done for you and all you have to do is plug it in to your Adwords account and see what it does for you. Chris even takes it up a notch by telling you how to research your competitors landing page and dissect it piece by piece so that you can mimic it and make an even better landing page. You're gonna have to read the report to learn all the wonderful things this software can do. Oh and before I forget, Chris does provide you with 2 videos that will show you some profitable campaigns that you can start using and get a better understanding of how the software works.

I hate to sound like one them "SCAM bag" gurus that try to sell you their useless products so forgive me. But I see a great potential for this program and I believe that this can work for everybody as long as they have the right knowledge and techniques in their arsenal. Otherwise, you will lose money. So like I said before, educate yourself before you try something new, start small, master it and make it work for you. You will reap the rewards later on.

So without further ado, Grab your FREE Google Cash Detective Report Now!

p.s. After reading the report, I was excited about getting a hold of this software. But unfortunately, there is no link as to how you can get access to it. So I emailed Chris and told asked him how I can get a hold of it. Once I get an answer, I will post it up. Till then, peace!

Google Alert, Google Alert!

I've been using Google Alert for quite some time now and I was surprised when Kyle and Carson revealed this method on their Who Loves Money e-book.

If you haven't heard, Google Alert is a good way for finding niches! It's one of the methods I use when I want to find out more about a particular industry or a particular niche. Here's how it works.

When you find a niche that you're interested in, say for example Honda Civic. All you have to do is go to Google Alert and fill out four little boxes.

  1. Search term: this is where you put your niche. In our case Honda Civic
  2. Type: there's 5 different sources here. (news, blogs, groups, web, comprehensive). Basically what this is asking you is where do you want your sources to come from. I always choose "comprehensive" because I believe it's a combination of all the sources
  3. How often: here you get to choose how often you want it delivered to you. You have a choice of once a day, once a week or as it happens. The choice is yours
  4. Email addy: just type in your email.
Viola! You're done. Now depending on how often you wanted it to be delivered, you just sit back and wait for Google to send you some info.

I've found some great niches using this method and even other interesting stuff. I honestly don't know what we would do without the web. It's made life so much easier. Everything you ever wanted to know is literally right on our fingertips!

I hope this information was helpful. If not then my bad!

Delete Your Adwords Account

Of course we all know about Google Adwords otherwise you wouldn't be here reading my blog. You might even have your own money making blog. But, before I get carried away, I just wanted to let you know that if you are struggling with your campaigns either because your keywords are inactive or Google wants you to bid tons of money (like $10 per keyword) then there is help...but and this is a big BUT only if you've had your account for a while.

Let me elaborate a little. A couple of years ago, more like 2002, after I got out of the military, I spent a couple of weeks at home being lazy. Hey, after 4 freaking years in the ARMY, I think I deserved a break right? Well, anyways, I was surfing online and saw this ad for paid surveys. That peeked my curiousity and from then on, I was hooked on the different ways of making money online.

To make a long story short (I'm going to Vegas in a couple of hours, so I have to make this short), I got involved with Google Adwords after I joined this program by this dude named Howie Moore or something like that. Anyways, his program (which doesn't exist anymore) was about advertising to millions of people using free resources. Yeah right! I was naive and didn't know the things I know now, so I bought it and it was crap! But, he did have a learning resource center and he talked about Google Adwords and how it's the best way to make money online. So he provided me with products to sell (which was his own) and also provided me with keywords and PPC campaigns to put in my Adwords account.

Well, like I said, I didn't know what the heck I was doing, so I copied and pasted everything and started to promote his credit repair ebook. I didn't know that I had to monitor those campaigns in a daily basis. Needless to say, a month went by and I had a couple of sales that totaled about $200. Not bad for a beginner. BUT...guess how much my advertising cost was? Over $1,000 dollars. It LITERALLY wiped out my bank account. In fact I had overdraft charges for that month. I was heartbroken and broke at the same time and I didn't touch that account for about a year.

From then on, I bought more Adwords stuff and got my education on. When I felt I was comfortable with it, I started my account and created a bunch of different campaigns that didn't even make me a cent. My CTR (click through rate) was really bad. I barely cracked the 1% mark on all my campaigns. So basically I sucked!

Then in 2005 or 2006, we all heard about the Google Slap. That hit hard to a lot of affiliate marketers. I started a couple more campaigns and to my surprise, Google wanted me to bid at the least $10 freaking dollars for my keywords. I said HELL NO! so I paused all my campaigns.

It wasn't until I bought Adwords Miracle and the Profit Lance did I realize that Google keeps track of all the data in your Adwords account. So, even though I deleted all my prior campaigns, I still had poor CTR and QS (quality score) when I started new ones, so Google rewards me by giving me high keyword bids because according to my history, I sucked. Thanks Google! No matter how much I tried to group my common keywords or make my landing page relevant, I was still getting bitch slapped (pardon me) left and right.

So what did I do? I deleted my old account and created a new one. All I did was change my email and my billing info. Google still allows you to reactivate your old account if you want but why would I want to do that? So, right now I only have one campaign going which is doing great for me and it's the same campaign that Google wanted me to pay $10 for whereas by creating a new one, I'm only paying $0.40. In fact, it's doing pretty well and my average position is about a 2 so I'm really just paying $0.28 now. Not bad huh?

So, the MORAL of the story is, do your research and study about what you want to learn in life. Always remember that there are no such things as "get rich quick" schemes. Everything takes hard work and dedication just like any other job. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Ok, this turned out way longer than I expected and I have to hit the road. Remember, just because your having a bad campaign doesn't mean that you can just delete your account right away and open a new one. Especially if you barely opened your account. I had mine since 2002 and I made over 50 different campaigns. So you need to give it some time. Personally, if you're having a bad time with your Adwords campaigns, I suggest you pause all of them and learn everything there is to learn about Google Adwords then apply those techniques to improve your scores. Don't just close and open new accounts. Trust me, Google will catch up with you.

Try to have your account at least for a couple of years before you delete and start a new one otherwise just do your best to improve your CTR and QS. I advice you to only close and open a new account once because Google will suspect something about fishy going on and they will find you and might even ban you. That's just my guess. So be careful.

I hope you learned something from my mistake. I really gotta go. Time to spend my hard earned money on the blackjack tables this weekend. Wish me luck guys! Who knows, maybe I'll come back a thousand dollars richer or even better...a millionaire! haha I wish!

More FREE Stuff For Your Blogs

I just found this site called TheFreeSite.com and it's pretty cool. They have all kinds of different ways to spice up your blog. They offer FREE games, graphics, Java scripts, software, sounds, webspace, etc etc. The site is too big for me to list everything so you're gonna have to go to the site yourself and browse around. Pretty neat stuff they got in there so hope you find something to your liking.

Unfortunately, work is calling me so I have to go. Till then...peace.

Death of Adsense?

I've noticed that a lot of bloggers are getting banned from Adsense. Why is that? Most of them are saying that they don't even get an explanation as to why they are getting banned. That sucks big time. I hope I don't get the same treatment even though I'm not really getting much from them. So far, I've only accumulated a mere $2 since I started using them. Yeah I know that ain't much, but that's $2 I didn't have before so I'm ok with it.

Plus, the only real way to get money from Adsense is by building hundreds of sites with poor content and adsense ads all over it. Why the poor content? Well, the main purpose of these sites is for you to click on the ads not read what the site has to say. Pretty clever? You tell me.

Anyways, so I did some searching on the web and I came upon this Adsense ad called "The Death of Adsense" Anyone heard of it? It's composed of 4 FREE reports on how Adsense is just not as profitable as before. I read them all and it's pretty interesting as to what the author has to say. He basically states how he use to make thousands from Adsense and now barely make a couple of hundred.

I don't know about you, but I'd kill to make a couple hundred from Adsense alone. But after further reading, I noticed that this author, Scott Boulch, who likes to be called the "Nada Guru" since he believes he's not a guru, is actually marketing his own method of making money online. It's called the clickflipping method.

This is the first time I've heard of this but from what I understand, it's using Google Adwords with keyword tracking. So basically, they offer you their own method of tracking profitable keywords so that you can have a more profitable campaign.

It all sounds good and they do offer 2 membership sites. One of them is called the ClickFlipping Group or something but it is way too expensive. I don't remember the exact price but I know you have to pay a one time fee to join and a monthly fee after that which is in the hundreds. Hell No! They do offer another site called "Life After Adsense" and the monthly fee is $49 a month. That's still pretty expensive so I don't know. What do you guys think? Should I try it out?

Well, if you want the FREE reports just click on the banner. But before you do, I just want to warn you that once you sign up, you automatically become an affiliate for them. I just downloaded the FREE reports and haven't visited the site since. Gotta go work now. Till then...peace

Dayjob Killer and Guru Slayer For Free?

Yes you read that right. I actually found a way to get the Dayjob Killer for free! How about the recently released Guru Slayer? Got that one free too. Now I finished reading both and I have to say that I'm glad I didn't get all caught up in the hype when these two products were released.

No offense to the author of DayJob Killer Chris McNeeney, I loved his prior books Adwords Miracle and Affiliate Project X, but DayJob killer just didn't live up to all the hype he claimed in the sales page. One example is he supposedly found a new way of making money again using the direct linking method with Google Adwords. In my opinion, he didn't. I was truly disappointed in that. He also said he found a way of getting around the so called "Google Slap." Once again, I was let down. The technique he described is not so great. If you do it right, you might make some money, but then again, if you don't, then you lose money. So you have to be careful and know what the heck you're doing and if you're a beginner, you'd be lost.

I did learn a couple of new things like how to use someone else's product against them and even some offline advertisisng, but for the most part, I'm glad I didn't shell out the $97 it cost to get this book.

As for the Guru Slayer, the technique he described I already knew so it was nothing new to me. His salespage did have a good look to it or maybe it was just the dragon. oh well, I'm just glad I didn't spend the $77 for the same info I already knew.

Well, there's a couple more ebooks you can get for free but I'm not gonna list them all here. You're just gonna have to find out yourself. Also, these are just for the ebooks themselves, you don't get the bonuses offered or anything else. You basically get the main product. Nothing more nothing less.

What Is Up With This Pop Up?

So what the heck is up with this little annoying pop up that keeps asking me for my username and password everytime I need to access my dashboard? I don't know about you guys but this is not normal and I already fell for it once but not twice. If you notice, even if you input your username and password, it still keeps popping up. So I clicked cancel and it went away and I got to my dashboard just fine.

I logged out and signed on again and the same freaking pop up came out so I cancelled it again. I noticed that everytime I need to access my dashboard, that pop up comes up. I didn't feel good about this so I immediately changed my password since you don't know if this is just a glitch on blogger's part or some hacker trying to get access to my account.

My advice is for you guys to change your password at least just in case. I know I did. Does anyone have a clue or answer as to why this is happening?

UsFreeAds Tutorial - Bum Marketing Method


If you guys didn't get a hold of Travis' Bum Marketing Method, (found here) then you are really missing out on some good information here on how to make money online for FREE! I found out a couple of days ago that Travis is a member of Wealthy Affiliates also so that was awesome. If you don't know his method, he basically attacks keywords by writing articles about them. That's the best way of getting FREE advertising.

So like I said in my prior posts, I get a lot of newsletter and since I trust this guy, I checked out his video on how to make money using UsFreeAds. If you guys don't know, UsFreeAds is an advertising site and Google loves this site...hmm wonder why? (a little sarcasm there). You'll find out why once you visit their website.

Well, after viewing his video, which is his first one by the way, I was amazed. The only thing is that you're gonna have to pay a membership fee every month. I believe it's like $9 a month. It's the only way for you to be able to put links in your ads. Otherwise, you can join for free but you can't add your affiliate links, so that sucks. Who knows, if you follow his method, you can easily pay for that membership even if you sell one product a month. Like I said, Google loves this site so you can be sure you're ads will be seen.

Guess that's it for now. Some people still have actual jobs here like me...boo! Oh well, maybe in time, I'll be able to get up when I want and sleep all day. You think?

In the meantime, while you're getting ready for work and eating your breakfast, sit next to your computer or laptop and fire up this video. I bet you won't regret it. You don't get quality information like this everyday so you might as well take advantage of it right?

Bum Marketing Video is found here

Affilorama Newsletter Tells It All




I get too much newsletters in my Inbox everyday! I hate it but that's my fault since I do subscribe to everybody and their mama when it comes to making money online. Most of them are just crap and just another way to upsell another guru's program so they all pretty much end up getting deleted.

I don't even know how I got to this page that I'm about to show you guys but I'm glad I did. For once, this guys newsletter is worth it. Trust me on this. All you do is sign up and you get his 6 part mini course on how to get started as an affiliate. They're all on video so that's way cool.

I would say that even though most of the stuff he talked about I already knew, I bet that you will still learn a thing or two even if you're already a seasoned Internet Marketer. I know I did. There's a few tips in there that you just might learn. If you're a newbie, then even better. This will really help you get your foot in the door, so to speak, in the world of Internet Marketing.

I suggest you just sign up for the mini course and once you get all six, then just cancel or unsubscribe from the list. That's what I did. Enjoy!

Profit Lance Review


I bought the Profit Lance System a couple of months ago. Just like the Affiliate Allstar system, this system was created by Michael Andrews. As you read this review, you’ll see how different this course is compared to other money making products out there.

As a lot of you know, I spend my hard earned money purchasing different marketing products out there and do reviews on them to see if their techniques work. The Profit Lance is no exception. If you browse around the forums I told you guys about, you will notice that most of them members that bought the Profit Lance are satisfied with it and as far as I’m concerned, this system can work for you if you put the techniques to work. This is definitely not a scam. I also noticed that the price has increased since the last time I bought this. The cost is now $77. So without further ado, let’s get down to the nitty gritty.

The Profit Lance System is program that can help you learn how to make money online from the ground up. It starts with the basics of online marketing and on to more advanced levels. As the author states in his opening message, his main objective is here is to guide you, show you and provide long term skills to making money online. He doesn’t want you to just follow the steps like a robot, but to actually implement his techniques and know the reason behind it. That’s always a plus and it’s something that many so called “gurus” doesn’t teach you

After you purchase the program, you’ll be sent to a log in page. Upon logging in, you will find that you have your own personal member’s area. The design and layout is very well done and easy to navigate. I was very happy with this because if you’ve bought money making products before, you’ll notice that most products give you a single download page. You download your e-book and that's it, you are on your own. Not with Profit Lance, this program works like a membership site but there is are no monthly fees. You pay a one time fee and that’s it.

Like I mentioned before, the Profit Lance course instills 3 principals:

· Understanding

· Skill acquisition

· Practical implementation of those skills.

This is what I meant when the creator says that he wants his students to understand what they are doing and not merely plugging here and there without a clue as to why they are doing that particular task for. It’s actually very overwhelming the first time you log in, because there are so much info to digest.

Check out some of the topics covered in Profit Lance and you’ll know what I mean:

- Affiliate Marketing

- Choosing the right product to promote

- Copywriting tactics

- How to build your own websites

- How to write product reviews

- How to create landing pages

- Getting targeted web traffic

- Blogging basics

- Google AdWords

- Google AdSense

- Keyword research

- Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

- Link building

- and so much more I can’t list them all!

In addition there are around 50 video tutorials and 20 e-books on advanced internet marketing strategies. Most of these tutorials and e-books I found were not the authors own; it most likely came from his own collection he gathered from third party sources. Despite that, they are all useful and relevant to the topics. As you can see, there are tons of information in this course.

Another advantage that the Profit Lance System has over other money making products is that he provides you with about 15 affiliate websites and 3 review websites that you can promote and not have to worry about domain and hosting fees. This is another plus for the newbies although I will warn you that everybody who buys this system will get the same websites so it’s best to use them to get your feet wet so to speak. Once you got the techniques down, I suggest you build your own website.

One thing you will notice when you buy the different money making products out there, is that they only give you bits and pieces of information on how to make money online. With the Profit Lance System, it combines specific skills into the big picture of internet marketing so you have a better picture of how everything comes into play.

The other thing that I like about Profit Lance is that it is not a fixed course. Every time you log in, you will have access to updates, forums and the author’s blog posts. This allows you to stay active within the Profit Lance community and receive any help you may need.

Speaking of help, communication between the author and the students is exceptional. I’ve emailed him numerous times and he has always responded very quickly, sometimes within hours. You don’t find that very often.

Some marketers are saying that you can make money within hours of purchasing Profit Lance. That’s not being realistic, you shouldn't get into this course with that kind of a mindset. Or any course for that matter. What you're paying for is an education in making money online.

Depending on the skills that you currently have it’s going to take time before you start making money simply because there are tons of materials and information to absorb.

This is the only drawback I see, although don’t let that deter you. There are times when you might feel like you’re lost. But no worries, the author has made lots of updates since then and has even implemented videos of his own telling his students what to do first.

Overall, I give this program two thumbs up, heck I’ll put up a third if I had one. You just can’t beat the training and education that you’ll receive upon joining this program. Highly recommended!

Who Loves Free Money?


As you all know, I am a member of the Wealthy Affiliate, but what you guys don't know is that we are going to be releasing a new book entitled "Who Loves Money." The authors are Kyle and Carson, the makers of Beating Adwords and In The List programs. I don't trust much internet marketers out there but I do trust these guys. And I'm not saying that because I'm a part of their program. Even before I joined, I found out that their material contains lots of good tips and tricks to help me make money. I have all their books and I truly believe that what they put out there are helpful guides to making money online.
Back to "Who Loves Money." If you visit my link, you will be taken to the site where you can opt in your information. On the day it launches, May 1st to be exact, you'll probably receive an email telling you about the book. If you go to the website, you'll notice that they are offering $50 and a discount. I'm not sure if the money is redeemable as cash or if they are credits for advertising which I'm pretty sure is the latter. As far as price, they haven't told us yet but you will get a discount if you buy it that day.

I don't really care if you guys buy the book or not. I just want to get the word out there and let you guys know I believe their techniques work. Heck, they even state that you don't have to invest any of your money. Zero investment to begin with. In fact, here's a couple of the topics that will be included in the book:

  • How we earned $60 / Minute With A Single Niche Market (We expose the exact niche & product)
  • How to determine which keywords sell
  • Niche Hunting Exposed - How we do it
  • An In-depth look at Clickbank
  • Penny Pincher Traffic techniques
  • Kyle & Carson's Slow Roller Technique
Sounds good? I don't know but I'm willing to bet it will be. But in the event that you don't like it, send it back for a refund and get your money back. You have nothing to lose. So what do you say? Ready to sign up?

Visit "Who Loves Money" here and don't forget to spread the word out. Help a brotha out!

Free IQ Marketplace Blows YouTube Away

Hello fellow money making friends. I have some great news here. One of these so called "gurus" emailed me something very useful last night. Normally, I don't really pay attention to their newsletters since I am bombarded with them everyday. I subscribed to a lot of them and most of the mail I receive are just promotions to their new money making product or they try to upsell me some other "guru's" product.

So anyways, I want you guys to check this website out. It's called FreeIQ Marketplace and it is a place full of free stuff. And I mean FREE stuff! You can get ebooks and marketing videos for free. But before I go on, let me tell you guys a little more about this FreeIQ site.

It's a site owned by Brad Fallon, one of the leaders in Web 2.0 and search marketing. It's still in BETA version but I can see a lot of potential here and I hope you guys will too.

This site acts like a Google search engine. At the top of the page, you will see a Search Bar. All you do now is type in your keywords like: "make money," "blogging," "how to make money online," "Seo techniques" just like you would normally do in Google, but here's the best part, instead of getting links to different websites in the results page, you get pdf, video and audio files for FREE! You can use them however you want, whether you want keep it for yourself or post it on your blog or website and make money of it. How do you make money with it?

You see, this site has an affiliate program that allows you to embed video on any site you want just like YouTube. But when the person goes to the site and makes a purchase, you get paid. That's right... You get paid for promoting other peoples videos. On top of that, there is a 1 year cookie so you know you're bound to get paid. The more popular your video, the more views you have. More views equals higher ratings which equals more money in your pocket. You also have the option of uploading your own videos, audio and pdf files.

So what I want you guys to do now is head on over to FreeIQ and test it out yourself. I've already downloaded ebooks that I would have otherwise paid for and watched a couple of videos with good info. And one thing to note here is that these videos are high quality and are not your lame demo videos. Some of them can range from 10min to an hour and the beauty of all this is that it's free. All you have to do now is promote it. Excited yet? I hope so because I know I was.

Well, normally I would love for you guys to stay and peruse around but seriously, you have to go and visit FreeIQ Marketplace right now and see for yourself. You guys can thank me later. Peace.

Are You A Wealthy Affiliate?

It's been a busy week for me and so I haven't gotten around to blogging as much. Although I will tell you guys that a couple of days ago, I recently joined an affiliate community called Wealthy Affiliate. Have you heard of them?

Well basically it's a member's only website created by Kyle and Carson, the creators of Beating Adwords and I must say I am pretty impressed by the quality and content of the member's area. Here's a screenshot of the website.




I've known about this for a while but the fact that you have to pay a $29 membership fee every month is what kept me from joining. I'm glad to say that it is totally worth it and after reading some of the materials enclosed, I can safely say that I will probably be a member here for the long haul.

What I like especially about this website is that it has it's own forum. Here you will find all kinds of tips, tricks and everything else you want to know about. I've browsed a couple of them and already I've learned some cool new tricks.

Their main subject here is Google Adwords but they have way more content on different areas of affiliate marketing. Lots of tutorials and some videos on how to build websites/landing pages, pay per click, Adcopy writing, SEO techniques, building a mailing list, etc etc. I could go on and on but there is just too many to mention. They also have tons of researching and marketing tools to help you get started. I love it!!

I'm not here to persuade anyone to join. I'm just venting (in a good way) because I finally found a community of people in the same position as me and everybody helps each other out. I just wished I'd joined sooner because it would have save me a whole lot of money instead of spending them on useless ebooks and authors that don't respond back to you...know what I mean?

Well, I'm off to learn more so I will see ya'll tomorrow. Just in case you guys are interested, you can join me by visiting Wealthy Affiliate.

FREE Blogger Templates

We all know that it pays to be different especially when it comes to blogging. Everybody has their own styles and layouts and it's nice to see different blogs with cool designs. You can even learn and implement some of the styles and designs you see out there.

So I went around the internet to look for FREE blogger templates hoping that you guys can get creative out there. But before I give out the links, read my tips first before you start downloading your new template.

First and foremost, SAVE (very important here) your original layout just in case you need to change it back. You can do this by logging into your account and clicking on:


  • layout
  • edit html
  • Download Full Template (save it to where you can find it later. I usually just save it on my desktop)

If you have all kinds of scripts, codes and widgets on your "Page Elements" page, make sure you save those to Notepad because they might get deleted when you upload you new template. Trust me, I wish someone told me this before I changed mine.

Next, go to the template you want to download and "right click" on it and depending on the browser that you're using, you're gonna either use "save target as" or "save link as."

Save that template to where you can find it, like I said, it's better if you save it on your desktop that way it's easy to find.

Go back to your "Edit html" page and click on "Browse," look for your saved template, and click "upload"

Your new template should automatically show on your template page. If you saved your old template and you had scripts and widget codes in there, hopefully you know where they are located and just stick them on your new template. Click on "preview" and make sure you like how it looks. If you do, then just click "save template."

Go to your "Page Elements" page and copy and paste your old codes, java scripts and widgets once again. Preview your blog and save everything. That's it, congratulations!

Hopefully things turned out ok. Always make sure you preview your layout before saving it. And please, please, please, don't forget to save your old template!!!

The Internet Evolution

I found this boob tube to be very entertaining. It just shows how much the internet has changed our lives. So I wanted to share this with you guys...enjoy!



Adsense Not Clicking For Me

No pun intended there in my title but I don't know what is going on with my Adsense account. As you all know, I'm part of MyBlogLog and being a member of that community, I get to check my site stats and also figure out where my visitors are clicking. I've seen my visitors clicking on my Adsense ads, particularly my text link ads near the header and when I check my Adsense account, I don't get credit for it. In fact, it says zero clicks for the month of April even though I know that my visitors have clicked on it already. Does it take a certain amount of time before it is posted in my account? I'm so frustrated! Grrr...!!!

What is up with that? What am I doing wrong? Should I contact Adsense and tell them my problem or will that just make it worse? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks by the way to all those that have supported me this far.

Investing 101-Tips To Avoid Before Investing

Before you start to invest your overtime money, there are some points I want you to look at before you invest. These are common mistakes that many people make when they first start to invest. Don't let this be you. Read on and educate yourself.

1. Not Taking Action. You're not gonna earn money by being a bum. If you're looking for a nice chunk of money when you retire, you better act fast. Although there is no guarantee that the market will go up when you first invest, I can guarantee you one thing: Doing nothing at all will not provide for a comfortable retirement.

2. Starting Late.
The earlier you start the better off you are. Enough said!

3. Get Rid of Your Credit Card Debt First.
If you have money in your savings account and you have revolving debt on your credit card, pay it off. You need to pay off your debt first before you even think about investing. What's the use of investing your money if you need it to pay for your credit card bills? You won't save money that way. It just means that you'll be paying down your credit card forever. Do you really want that?

4. Short Term Investing. Only invest money for the short term if you're really going to need that money fast. That means if you plan on taking a vacation or thinking of buying a new car, you invest in short term. This can usually be accomplished by putting your money in a money market fund or CDs (Certificate of Deposit). Invest money in the stock market that you won't need for at least three years, maybe even five years or longer.

5. Turning Down Free Money. If I gave you $100 for no reason at all with no strings attached, would you take it? Of course! No one likes to turn down free money, but that's exactly what you are doing if you're not participating in your companys 401(k) or similar retirement savings plan. Take advantage of all tax-advantaged, employer-matched savings programs.

6. Investing Safe. If you're young, most of your investing dollars should be in the stock market because you have enough time to weather the storm in case the market goes down. You'll be able to recover and reap the rewards of long-term gains. As you get older, you don't want to risk as much so you may want to transition into bonds since your source of income will come from these investments as well, but overall, stocks should make up a large portion of the portfolio of every investor.

7. Playing Scared. Not every investment is for everyone. Even if you're a daredevil, you shouldn't pour all of your money into something that could end up going down the drain. This is where researching your investments really count. Research everything before you invest in anything, whether it be stocks, bonds or mutual funds.

8. Collectibles or Lottery Tickets are not Investments. If your Superman or Spiderman mint collection of comic books, Baseball cards or your grandpa's vintage WW2 watch could be used to fund retirements, do you think the stock market would exist? Heck no! Don't make the mistake of thinking your jewelry, those Beanie Babies, or the lottery will provide for you in your later years because they won't. You're just wasting your money.

9. Trading In and Out of the Market. I believe that the best approach to investing is to invest for the long run. Pick your investments wisely and you'll reap the rewards over the long term that you had ever dreamed possible. Trading in and out of the market will only hurt you and you'll be bombarded with fees that will slowly eat away at your returns. Eventually, you'll miss out on gains that long-term investors enjoy with much less effort.

Keep this in mind before investing and you will have no problems once you start. I'll be covering more later on, but that's all I have for now. Invest wisely people. Till then, peace out!

I'm just gonna keep this post short, but as all you bloggers know, tagging your posts can lead to more traffic. Now don't get keywords and tags confused because they are two different things. When you search for keywords, the results you get are the keywords within a content of a webpage. Whereas tags are elements that have been specifically applied to the post by the author which means a more precise results.

With that said, I use to manually type my tags each time I finished my posts and sometimes when you have more than one, it can be time consuming. So I found a shortcut to tagging my posts. All you do is type in your tags and it will automatically create the HTML code for you. Neat eh?

FREE Report-The Bum Marketing Method

I was very pleased when I got my hands on this report but let me warn you, don't let the word "FREE" fool you here. This might be free, but I've learned something new just by reading this report. It's even better than some of the information I've found in some of the money making ebooks I've bought. I wish there were more of these kind of reports around. It's not everyday that I find something valuable and worth keeping and the best part is that this is totally free.

Like the title? Catchy ain't it? Well, once you read the report, you'll know what I'm talking about. Lots of good tips and secrets here on how to get free traffic, how to write articles and some SEO techniques. Yeah, I know, you're probably thinking, "I've heard about these techniques already, what more is there?" Well, my friend. All I have to say is give it a try. It's not like you're paying for it anyways and if you find that you don't like (which I doubt you will), then just forget about it. Like I said, I knew about the techniques this person was talking about, but it's not even about that, it's all about how you can put those techniques to work best for you. Anybody can shoot a basketball. Everybody has different ways or techniques when it comes to shooting a basketball, but it's how you position your hands and elbows and proper stance that counts. Same applies here. There are tons of ways to get traffic to your website/blog, but are you putting those to work so you can be an effective marketer?

That's why I really enjoyed this report. I learn something new everyday and the more I know, the more I can market effectively. Plus, it's free and who doesn't like free stuff? There are no products to buy or any upselling of any kind. Just plain tips and tricks for anyone on a budget. God knows how expensive online marketing can be!

7 Guidelines Before Buying A Money Making Product Or System

If you have a money making website or blog, then I can assume that you've been exposed to alot of the different how to make money salespage/salespitch out there that is currently littering the internet right now. I've bought so many money making products and systems that some of them are just taking up space in my hard drive.

These guidelines are basically for the newbies out there since I know from experience that reading a sales letter sucks big time. Some of them are just too long arent they? Well, hopefully these little tips can guide you and aid you as to what to look for before handing over your hard earned money and making the same mistakes I did. With that said, let's get started.

1. Site professionalism-Before you buy a product, skim through the whole salespage and ask yourself, How does the design of the page look like? Is it well laid out? Does it look nice and clean and presentable? Did it look like the author spent some time designing his salespage? For the most part, the answer to these questions will be yes. They will have nice headers, nice graphics, bulleted points etc etc. But occassionally, you'll run into some "amateurish" websites. Basically, these websites have no graphics and no headers, maybe a catchy title and at the bottom of the page, they ask you for your email address and that's it. I personally stay away from these types of websites because all they want to do is collect email addresses before they show you their actual salespage. I don't like those so I stay away from them.

Another thing you have to ask yourself when looking at a salespage is how convincing is this website? Does it grab your attention? Will this product benefit you in the long run?

2. Proof of earnings screenshots-this is another one of those things that are very misleading. You need to be very careful when looking at proof of earnings screenshots and don't let yourself get too excited when you see the amount of money these people are making. Alot of them are bogus. All it takes is a little bit of photshop and those numbers can be manipulated. What you need know about these screenshots also is that the total amount they have on their screenshots are not what they really earned (or net profit) since they also have to pay for their advertising costs. You also need to look at the amount they supposedly are earning everyday. Does it look realistic? Can you really earn that much in one day? So be wary of these screenshots. I'm not saying that they cannot be achieved, I'm pretty sure you can but that takes time. So be careful and don't buy a product based on their so called "proof of earnings."

3. Testimonials-I'm not that critical when it comes to testimonials but there are certain criteria that I look for when reading testimonials. I know that for the most part, testimonials will only include the person's first name and last name initial followed by the city and state where they are from. I'm a little bit cautious when it comes to these kinds of testimonials because sometimes they are just made up by the author. It's not hard to write your own testimonial and put a bogus name beside it, who's gonna know right? A good testimonial will usually have the first and last name of the customer, the city and state they live in and sometimes even a picture. Some testimonials even have audio on them so that can be a good thing also. I've also seen testimonials where the author will put screenshots of the email they get tellling them how good their product is so that can be a valid testimonial.

4. Price-before I buy a product, I always check the price. Unless of course you're a millionaire and don't bother to check for the price (in this case, why are you here?) Ask yourself, is this product really worth the amount they are saying? Can you afford it? Is this just a one time payment or will there be monthly payments for using this product. There were times when I would directly scroll down the bottom of the salespage first and check the price. If it sounds reasonable then that's when I would critique the salesletter. If I know I can't afford it at the moment and I'm interested at the product, I would usually just bookmark it and come back to it at a later date. I've done this for numerous products. Don't believe the "Limited Time Offers" or the "Buy this before midnight" crap. Some even have a timer saying this offer is only valid until the timer runs out. Pssh...that's BS. I've bought multiple systems a month sometimes even a year later, and they were still the same price as before.

5. Money back guarantee-I can't emphasize this enough. Always, always, look for a money back guarantee. There were times when I bought a system and found out that the information they had, I already knew or another ebook already talked about it. One word of caution though, always read their guarantee. Just because you see a money back guarantee deal on their site, does not mean that you will get your money back. Some sites will ask you to prove to them that you used their methods and show them proof, otherwise they won't give you a refund. I, personally, look for money back guarantee agreements where they say that they will give you a refund "no questions asked." That sounds better to me because sometimes, the techniques they teach just plain suck or it's already something I've done.

6. Google it for scams-this is another technique I've learned throughout the years. Before you hit the "buy it now" button because their salespage was so good and got you convinced to try their product, google it for scams. All you do is type the products name and the word "scam" after it. So let's say you found a product called "Instant fame and fortune" (this is just a fictitious product, not a real one). You then go to google, and type "Instant fame and fortune scam" You just don't know how many times this little research has saved me money and hopefully you too. Try it, you'll thank me later.

7. Visit forums-this is probably another good way for you to do research before buying a how to make money product. There are two forums I usually go to. One is called: why do work forum and the other one is warrior forum.

If you go to why do work forum, click on the "Forum" tab, then look for the "Work at home forums" section. Under that title, you will see a forum title called "Anyone heard of..." Here you will find a lot of the money making products that other people have bought and you can get an idea whether it's worth buying or not. If you don't see it, just start one yourself, you'll usually get a response.

If you go to warrior forum, look for the forum title "Internet marketing product reviews and ratings" Here you will find if the product you want is a money maker or a fluke.

So there you go folks. This is my guidelines before I indulge in buying a make money system or product. There are exceptions of course, these guidelines here are just that...guidelines. If for example, you feel that the product is good and you know it's not a scam but the testimonies look funky where it's just the first name and last name initial, go ahead and buy it especially if people in the forums are having success with it. What I'm trying to say is that each website or salespage is not gonna have all this criteria I've listed above. In fact, I've never seen one yet. These guidelines are just my way of researching a product so I'm not out there wasting my money on every single "how to make money online" program out there.

So remember folks, research, research, research. We all work too damn hard to just throw our money away. Till then...peace out!
