eBay and the 4 Tier Annihilation Method July 23, 2008

Its been a long time since my last writing, because I’m looking for more ways to make money on the Internet. It has been a common practice to blog or by article marketing to sell your products. However, recently I found something that we have been missing out for some time and the gold mine is always available to all of us — the EBAY!

Recently I’ve got an email from a friend who is interested in making money from the Internet, telling me that he found a way to make money from eBay. At first I was skeptical, but after reading the information provided by the writter, I am totally convinced. It is called the 4 Tier Annihilation Method (4TAM).

I hope you all remember that the purpose for me to write this blog is to discover ways to generate passive income, i.e. money will be generated without much work. I’m not asking you to be lazy, but to use your time and resources effectively and efficiently. The 4 Tier Annihilation Method can satisfy this desire!

As from the content, the writer build his wealth through eBay, he was left with 20 pounds in his pocket, living in the basement of a friend because he has no money to pay for his rent…. He also tried a lot of different methods online and offline, trying to look for ways to achieve financial independence, but luck was not with him, until one day he understands how to make use of eBay. He created this 4 Tier Annihilation Method which can be applied in many ways.

The whole concept was based on a 4 layer pyramid, where the lowest tier, Tier 1, will be a group of products that you will sell at around $100. The more products available, the more chances to have sales. Tier 2, will be a group of products that will sell at around $1000; Tier 3, sell around HK$10000. The highest tier, Tier 4, will get you as high amount as possible. The information reveal that how to achieve that, through a system called RSI EAM.

R – Research
S – Sourcing
I – Infiltrate
E – Establish
A – Automate
M – Move On

There will be detail information telling you how to do this by using different sources on the internet. However, it is very different from those method that I mentioned in this blog before:

• No Google Adwords
• No Google Adsense
• No complicated SEO
• No Traditional Affiliate Marketing

Of course you can still stick with these streams of income, but what I mean is that all you learn from this 4 Tier Annihilation Method will have nothing to do with these things. So you see it is very different.

Before you really want to reveal the information inside, consider if you’re ready to:

• Give some extra hour to build this business before you can be half retired

If you want to success, make some sacrifice and use the right method!

A bum marketing article that SUCKS! June 11, 2008

Recently I got a bum marketing article from one of the clickbank producers. I was SHOCKED!! Can’t really believe what I was reading…

Sometimes using strong wordings in an article can be quite effective, but it works only when you use it at the right place, at the right tone, and to the right person. Frankly, I’m not the kind of person who can be ordered to do things. The thing that shocked me so much is that the writer ORDERED me to buy something because THIS MAKES HIM  MONEY as well! He was actually trying to tell the reader that it will also apply to them if I buy his products. Will you be convinced? I’m not.

This rediculous article makes me remember when I first decided to start an affiliate business, I have these questions in my mind, especially after some days without sales:

• Why some products can make a lot of sales, some don’t?
• What are the products that can make me money?
• Why some articles can convince others, some don’t?
• What are the keywords that can help sales?
• How to put these keywords in good orders so as to boost sales?
• Why some affiliates make $1000/day, but some $1000/month?

Maybe you also have the same questions, or maybe you don’t. But if you believe it is because the world is unfair or because you are unlucky, I am here to tell you it is not true! 

There are two main decisions to make when you started to bum market something: “What are the keywords?” and “How to organize these keywords?” Remember a few months ago, I accidentally get across with Kyle and Carson (a.k.a the Wealthy Affiliates) on the internet, from then on my sales started to boost.

One of their sites Beating Adwords gave me the answers to the above and many more questions. I am not guaranteeing you that you will be rich right after reading their information, afterall online marketing is the fruit of your hard work. However, to harvest juicy fruits instead of normal ones, there must be some way to farm! Beating Adwords will be your secret receipe to make this happen!

Beat Adwords includes tips around these areas:

1. How to start online marketing
2. How to pick products that make SALES!
3. What are the keywords that can help you sell, boost your sales and make your money worthy to invest!
4. Most importantly, how to make $1000 or more per DAY!

If you take it serious, if you are thirsty enough to make money, if you are eager to look for the ways to generate passive money, here I offer you the Beating Adwords. Apply for their free newsletter, read through them, by then you’ll understand why I like it so much and why it will help you so much!

Absolutetly FREE Paid Surveys June 9, 2008

In the online world, there are many opportunities for you to make money, some are true, some are scam. I have 2 news, one is bad, one is good.

This situation happens on both data entry jobs and paid survey filling jobs. Think about it: will you paid for your boss to get you hired? I bet not. So why should we pay for jobs online to get ourselves hired? So here, I am going to show you some online survey filling jobs that will require you zero money. Here are some of my favourite sites.

 

Global Test Market
This is one of my favourite online paid survey websites, not only because it is free, but the no. of surveys they send to me is very stable. This can ensure a stable income for my online career. Another good thing about this company is that they have surveys in many different languages, so even if you’re not located in the States or Canada, you can still grab this opportunity to become one of their members.
Each complete surveys will be tranformed into points, depends how much your information is useful to them, points will range from 5 to 20. Then when it reaches 1000 points, you can redeem your points. Each 1000 points will earn you $50.

9 Secret Tips on SEO DIY June 6, 2008

SEO, Search Engine Optimization, a word you must get yourself familiar with when you want to start your online affiliate business. In online marketing, SEO is a very important technique so as to increase the traffic of your website and thus get more sales in return. These techniques, Google and Yahoo! would like to hide from you as otherwise you will not pay them for any advertisement any longer. These tips on the other hand will help you to have your website get on top of the list in search engines! I.e. To have your cost of advertising reduced to zero! Therefore, the more you can master the SEO, the greater profit you can get.

Here I am going to introduce you 9 easy tips on SEO.

Tips #1- SEO your Keywords
This is the most common and most understood step, the theory is similar to the one I stated in the article Keys to start Bum Marketing. Keywords are the keys for search engines like Google and Yahoo! to look for relevancy between a search word and a website. When a user type “SEO” in a search engine, the site with the most “SEO” keywords will be ranked first. However, you must bear in mind that if you put “SEO” in irrelevant place of a website, you will be classified as cheater and may affect the reputation of your site.

Tips #2 – SEO the wordings in your website!
You may find that when you search for, e.g. “SEO”, the results shown will have “SEO” highlighed in Bold and words with similar meaning, e.g. “Search Engine Optimization” will also appear and highlighted in Bold! So other than the exact keywords you should use frequently in the content, you can use words with the same or similar meaning.

Tips #3 – SEO your DOMAIN NAME!
Domain name is the address of your website, it is unique and if it is taken by someone else, you cannot use it anymore. It is thus reasonably become a criteria for search engine to search for. You may wonder that most of the single words domain names are registered, e.g. umbrella.com, but umbrella.com.cn; umbrella.com.tw; umbrella.com.fi, etc etc. will also be classified as “umbrella” keywords related. So, if you have a name that is representative enough to the products or services you want to provide, register it ASAP! SEO your DOMAIN NAME!

Tips #4 – SEO your domain name with the preference of the Search Engines!
You may heard that search engines have special preferences, it is true! Google.com comparing with Google.com.cn or Google.com.jp, they all have different preferences. Let’s say Google.com.hk, it is a google especially for people from Hong Kong, so if your target customers are from the States, don’t register your domain with a service provider from Hong Kong or China, register it with a service provider from the states, e.g. GoDaddy

Tips #5 – SEO your images included in your website!
You may be surprised, search engines actually do search for the relevance of the image names you’ve given to the pictures included in your website. Remember Google has a function for you to search only pictures? That’s how they do it, so put the link of your pictures with the name of keywords! For example: http://www.seo.com/seo.html

Tips #6 – SEO your HTML code!
There are many new ways to write your website, FrontPage; DreamWeaver; Java, etc. However, HTML is the most commonly used programming language to be used by search engines.

A. Title – Title appear on the browser of your site “<title>”
Title is different from the Heading of the page, take a look at the top left hand corner of the browser of this page, it says “Work Less, Play Hard”, which is the title of this page. You can also make use of this space to include your keywords and thus increase findability and traffic. Usually title is embraced by the title html code
e.g. <title>Secret Tips of SEO</title>

B. Headings – The code started with “<h>”
The theory is similar to writing a passage, your heading must be related to the content. That’s how the search engine follow this logic. So try this out:
e.g. <h>Keywords</h>

C. Paragraph – The started with “<p>”
This function is to wrap up the text in the website, search engines will use this to find relevancy. So, put something relevant in your text wrapped by “<p>”.
e.g. <p>SEO is important to Internet Marketer</p>

D. Image Alt – Related to Tips #5
As mentioned before, pictures in your website will also be searched, so you can put the link of a pic with the name related to the keywords. By using html code, you can do something more. Use <IMG alt=”???”>.
e.g. <IMG src=”x.jpg” alt=”SEO”>

Tips #7 – SEO and update your website!
We all know that information 8 years ago may not be as useful as information now, at this moment, at this second. Search engines also look for hints on how often a website is being update and determine how relevant that site content. Then how can search engines know how update a website is? The answer: the HTTP Header! This information is created by the server when you update your site, so search engines will check with HTTP Header and see if your information is updated.

Tips #8 – SEO your peer websites! (Part I)
The Internet is full of links, you can link your site to others, or others can link your web with theirs. If most of your peer websites are with bad reputation, your site will also be classified as a bad websites! Even if they are not classified as “bad”, with irrelevant connection will also confuse the search engine assessing your relevance with the keywords. So if you want someone to have link with your websites, let them know how you would like to relate with different keywords, you can consider using tags.

Tips #9 – SEO your peer websites! (Part II)
This part is about how you link your websites with others. The most popular way to do this is to link your website with others with the same keywords, e.g. some websites that is specifically designed to compare different companies selling similar products. Then comes the question of how do you know if a website you want to link with is a good “friend” with high traffic? Try the Google PageRank and find out!

See, search engines are clever machines and they do follow a logic, so stick with the logic. It is just like any types of games, it has all types of rules, if you comply with the rules of the game, then you’ll get to the top of the list in search results. This will for sure reduce the cost of your adverstising your site and generate traffic and income! If you think the above SEO method is inadiquate, check this out for further information.

Make money using your Typing Skills June 5, 2008

How to make use of your typing skills and make an extra stream of income?

There are many reasons that you want to make more money, to pay bills, to achieve financial freedom, to get married, to have a child, blablabla…. Me too, I cannot deny the fact that I need money, I like money and I want more money!

I read the book Think and Grow Rich, and I like it a lot, because it teaches me how to make use of my knowledge and make money! Now I’m applying what I learnt from it and writing this article to share with you. Frankly, I’m sure some of you maybe desperate to have more money and looking for ways to get rich. As I mentioned in the Introduction of this Blog – “The New World” and the “About Me” Sections, my main mission to write this blog is to share with you all the skills and techniques to make money online. Data Entry is one of the approach that many of you may consider taking.

Most of the websites selling data entry jobs require you to pay first claiming that they’ll send you their client’s work so you can start typing immediately afterwards. Some of them will require you to fill in forms as there are many clients have a lot of information to organize. After so many years of searching, I feel desparate as most of these websites do not have any work offer or don’t even exists. They are SCAM! (If you did join some of these websites and realize what I’m talking about is true, try to ask for a refund!)

Actually, most of the real data entry or typing jobs are related to medical and legal industry, you will be required to listen to a tape and type what you hear from the tape. Also, a reasonable typing training course should costs you around $20-$60, so don’t pay anything more than that. Don’t waste any money more than that and don’t trust any SCAM websites!

Does it sound a bit frustrating and discouraging? I felt the same at the beginning, as I do not know where to find the right typing jobs… seems like there are so many scams that makes you feel doubtful and suspicious. Finally, I realize that I can still make use of my typing skills to make money. Here is the way: Online Advertising.  

On the Internet, WORDS have the highest authority and power, as this is the main source of communication. To write words on the Internet, typing skill is the utmost important skill. If you have it, you have the opportunity to make extra cash on the Internet. The most common ways is to type and advertise products that you like. Similar to Bum Marketing, you can type an article to sell, or even type things on Google’s Adwords. The more you type, the higher chance you will be able to get cash back. 

There is this one website which I really like, as it is not those SCAM sites, it does asked you to pay, but all you pay is not to get the job you want, but you’re paying for the information they got for you to get legitimate online jobs.  (Here is one trick to get a further discount: try to click on the close button of the browser, there will be a conversation box pop up, stick with it and the operator will offer you a further $10 discount. Try it, I got that $10 discount by clicking on the link offered by the operator.) It is a website with no hidden information, it tells you what exactly it is offering and what websites  you have to avoid as they’re real SCAMs. This saves you a lot of money.

To do business or to start a career on the Internet is not easy, first because there are many scams, secondly, time is money, you need to have good planning on how to use your time effectively and efficiently. Hope this website can help you to find the right legitimate online jobs for you, make more money and enjoy the flexible working hours and free time with your family.

Motto: Work Less Play Hard!

Keys to start BUM MARKETING June 4, 2008

Ok, now you have your affiliate products, you can use your blog to promote, this is great! What? The traffic is not high enough? The income you generate from your blog is not as high as you thought? Don’t worry, here comes the “BUM MARKETING”.

Bum Marketing is a great approach for you to promote you products, it is especially good when it costs zero money. It is thus very popular among affiliates to follow on the Internet. Bum Marketing means you write about the products on the Internet, the way to write it can differ, but one thing in common is the use of KEYWORDS. Keywords are the keys for search engines to look for your article, the more relevant keywords, the higher probability of being found in search engines.

As you see, google or yahoo! these search engines have special flavours, just like human, they have preference for websites, e.g. for ezinearticles.com, as there are so many relevant articles being posted, the chance for it to be found is also higher. I’m not sure what your blog is about, but for one article, I’m sure you can write it with the relevant keywords as long as you can read and write.

So what are the keywords? The most common keywords are “How to” and “tips on”, many people write on different topics providing so many different tips and ways. Then the second types of keywords are those highly related to the topic you’re writing about, e.g. “Internet Marketing” for this blog post.

On the other hand, do not post your article only in one blog or web, you should post the article to different websites so that more people can read it. (Though I highly recommend you to re-write some of the content for articles post to different webs.)

The third thing is to post it in websites like del.ici.ous and digg, where people can help you to spread your articles. Afterall, you’re just sharing something you think is good, right? Don’t be shy to tell others.

To conclude, remember the following keypoints:

• Keywords – use keywords to increase your findability
• Write, write and write – don’t be satisfied to have 1 articles posted, you need more people to view and buy
• Market your article – use word of mouth to market your article

How to Promote your Affiliate Business? June 3, 2008

Affiliate Program, is a program for Internet users to sell certain products and thus earn commissions in return. Internet is a great tool to reach different markets, if you are a producer, you’d love to have your products being sold to different parts of the world. However, there maybe budget constraint to hire so many sales from different parts on the planet, so affiliate program is a win-win to both producers and affiliates.

If you are really interested in this type of online business, go to Google, search for keywords like “Affiliate Networks” then you will find many sites regarding this, if you’re still not sure which one to choose, go to this website, they have a comprehensive comparison of most of the affiliate networks.

Actually, I believe looking for an affiliate network is not the difficult part for starting an affiliate business, but the part afterwards. Think about it, now you the products to promote, the question comes: “HOW to promote”? Most of the affiliate networks require members to have their own website or blog, so the first thing is to use your own site. This concept is very much similar to AdSense by Google. However, with Internet so flexible and powerful, there are many other ways for you to explore. Here, I’d like to introduce you to a reputable Internet Marketing website so you can broaden your knowledge in this field and make more business in return.

WealthyAffiliate.com (Price: US$29.95/month)

The good thing I like about this site is that their landing page is very different from many other affiliate programs. As you can compare, most of the traditional Internet Marketing websites presented in a very mysterious way, you will never know what exactly the site is about until you pay. I’m definitely not convinced by a site being so suspicious, even if they return my money if I am not satisfied with the content later. (What a waste of Time!) Wealthy Affiliate website has clearly stated what exactly their services are about, though the juicy part is left until you paid. (Isn’t it more reasonable?) Another credits for them is, they provide free guides, you can read through the information before you make your final decision, that’s fair enough if you are still not convinced. The third unique feature of this site is that Kyle and Carson will personally teach you how you can manage your campaign and Internet Marketing issues. Isn’t it great to have a real preson who can answer all your questions?

Types of Online Business June 3, 2008

Flexibility can be the word used to describe the leveraging power of the Internet. There are many ways for you to make money online, all you have to do is to find a way that suits your appetide.

Here are some common ways of making money on the Internet:

• Affiliate Programs
  It may be one of the most popular activities on the Internet business industry. Affiliate Program is a deal between an Internet user and a company who wants to sell their products to as many people as possible on the Internet. Your source of income is to make as much sales as possible so you can earn commissions.  
• Online Shops
  This is the most common type of making business online nowadays, as it is very much similar to “brick-and-mortar” shops on the street. The concept is to trade certain types of products or services, so you earn the difference between cost and price. Though the concept is similar, the Internet helps create new types of products, e.g. the creation of e-Book. Delivery is also reformed, you can now make a link for customers to download instead of shipping it out.
• Data Entry Jobs
  If you’re not interested in sales, data entry jobs maybe one of the approaches you can consider to make money online. You will be required to do typing jobs or to enter data into forms. Your income will be on project bases, which you will be given a certain time period to finish the project. As long as you are disciplined and well trained on typing skills, this definitely is a good option. 
• Fill-in Survey Jobs
  If you’re not good in typing, don’t be discouraged as there are more options available. This is an easy job, as long as you can read and do have some experience to share. Some companies would like to conduct a market research before they carry out a certain marketing action. They thus may conduct a survey and collect market information. You’ll be paid to complete different surveys, e.g. shopping vouchers, coupons, sometimes even cash.
• Virtual Assistant
  As hinted by the name, you will be an assistant, but you don’t really have to leave your house and go to an office, all you have to do can be done through the internet or the telephone. However, the jobs given maybe more than data entry or filling surveys. You may be given a certain task to finish, maybe a report, maybe to reserve a table in a fancy restaurant. This job is more challenging as communication skills is very important. You must be able to understand what is really required by the client.
• Web Related
  As related to the Internet, websites are the main tool to communicate your ideas to others, thus, if you can create professionally-designed websites or know how to write eye-catching contents, this field can be profitable.

As you can see, there are so many different types of business available on the Internet, you can consider which way(s) suit your working style and can match your working hour. We will discuss in detail in the coming pages for each types of jobs.

It is thus, many companies being set up to create or to help match jobs for peopel who has this need. Information regarding this topic is flooding on the Internet, as a new searcher in this field is really difficult to distinguish bewtween useful and irrelevant information. After so many years of doing online information search in this field, I’d like to share with you my opinion on doing business on the Internet, or how to find a part time stay-at-home job. Hopefully this information can help you to get the way of living you want and earn the money you deserve. May the Internet help you “Work Less and Play More”!
