Can I Become a Millionaire for Free?

What you are looking for is a miracle. I hear they are now available only once every 500 years

Really, make some compromises, buy a domain name, instead of looking for shortcuts. It will be worth it in the long run.

Until I saw this:

my head nearly exploded. I was thinking "Oh God, this is probably the worst one of these guys yet!"

Most people don't treat their online entrepreneurship as a business so that's why you see this attitude so much. That's also why so many of them fail.

Sad but true. Hopefully your post gets through to one or two people but I'm almost willing to bet money that most that could learn a lesson from it will only nod, click away from this thread, and go to the next "OMG $1,700 Using Twitter + Facebook in just 20 minutes!!!!111" thread.

it's deja vu all over again...

Dan, I think you need some FREE Communication Coaching! :rolleyes:

Send them to me.

I'll do it all free for a small price - 100% of the profit.

Cheers,

Neil

I just grabbed the free PLR articles from John that I will probably never use but hell it was free. I also grabbed the free spinning software from someone else today which I have used to make non-sensical articles (it is great and will come in handy).
The rest I will probably have to go to fiverr to get cheap outsourcing of ****e products but hell am sure it will make me a million?

I think sticking to having big tits will to grab me my first million!

Everyone should send a message to their list(s) letting them know that Dan is offering free advice on how to make a million bucks.

Make sure you include his email and phone number for free one-on-one personal coaching. No time limit on the phone support. No question too obscure to be answered.

I'm sure Dan put this up as a sarcastic response to the numerous threads that have been popping up here recently, and they become especially prolific around the holidays every year.

It boggles my mind too how people can think that the internet is some magical world where everything is free and they can make thousands of dollars by just pushing a few buttons.

The internet is nothing more that another medium to do business with, and that means you have to sell something in order to make money, whether it is physical products, digital information or services. There's no two ways around it - something of value has to be sold in order for you to make money. The internet is definitely not some giant ATM that spits out cash on demand, no matter what the sales letters and latest bright and shiny IM product is trying to tell you.

Since you definitely need to invest money and work to sell something of value so that you can realize a profit in the real business world, do you really think that doing business online would be any different?

I loved this purely and simply because for the first few lines I was thinking "oh I can help with that", lol. We see this stuff so often that it becomes almost habit to help out where we can - but it is for people who don't want to help themselves.

I was talking to a new guy from here on Skype a few weeks back who wanted help with promoting his website; I offered the advice for free. I spent about an hour explaining bits and pieces that i know works - and he turned around and said "oh I know all that, I just can't be bothered". I hung up. I would much rather help people who want to help themselves.

So there you go Dan, if you need it I will help you

My personal favorites are the ones that want free coaching or advice and DEMAND that it be only from experienced IM'ers who are making a lot of money.

I want to post to this thread for free.......

Assuming that mindset is a huge determining factor in success (which I believe it is), no wonder so many people haven't made any money online (or offline, for that matter).

To make money one must spend money. Period.

Awesome post, I really enjoyed reading it If it weren't for the fact that this is so true, it'd be fun

The best things in life are free.

By the way, I have a million dollars for sale.

Price?

$1.1 million

This thread had my dying hahahahaah

I can understand when someone is first starting out and they are struggling to find money to put food on the table, then they will be quite hesitant to pay for anything unless they are guaranteed it will make them money - which nothing is really 100% guaranteed.

I know when I first started out I didn't want to pay for hosting or anything really because I just didn't know if I could earn enough to cover my costs. But as long as I was thinking along those lines I didn't make any money either.

It wasn't until I had paid hosting, paid domains an actually started investing some money that I started making money. That isn't always the case either, you can buy a domain and hosting and do nothing more and not make money.

So for those who are really struggling to pay for anything - when you do pay for something make sure that you are prepared to put in the hard work to make your business successful - otherwise you are just wasting your money.

But as the saying goes - you get what you pay for! If you want a serious online business then be prepared to invest some money into it.

I'm going to come at this from a different angle, I think I will come at this like a spider monkey (talladega nights reference)

Getting your own branded domain isn't easy, if you want one for free, you are likely going to have to either: a. beg for it, b. barter your skills for it

As for hosting, if you want free, you have tumblr, blogspot, and a couple of other places but those are the two I would suggest especially for commercial purposes (look at all the financially successful 'mommy blogs' that are on blogspot)

If you want free content, you have a few choices. Aggregate information much the same way as many news websites and organizations do, or my preferred method, guest post writers. Approach them, ask them to write for you and then promo their product at the end of the writing they provide.

Free graphics can be acquired by bartering ad space on your website in exchange for graphics.
Free website design can likely be done by the same people who do your graphics, if not, use the same ad barter system to acquire this.

Free advertising can be done in a couple of different ways, free press releases, posting videos on youtube, articles, running an affiliate program (affiliate traffic), facebook fan pages, and twitter marketing.

If you have children, force them to do your social marketing lol Like a chore similar to cutting the grass, washing the dishes, etc.... Your other option would be to find a business partner who would be willing to take on this one task.

Giveaways can be anything, collect 10 tips on your target topic, turn it into a free pdf using pdf creation software and BAM free giveaway, "10 Tips on How to Be Awesome" or whatever you want. Just be sure to credit the original source properly.

List provider for free: listwire

Find a free giveaway plr series for an autoresponder series. Alternatively, create a swipe file from all your favorite lists that you belong to and force fit them into your niche.

Find a free plr giveaway for your niche (if it isn't in the MMO or IM arena), sell that. Or you could find a business partner willing to put up the product for a split of the profits. Alternatively, just promote someone else's product.

Scaling can be a b*&ch when trying to do it for free, best bet is after you have set it up a few times and it has proven profitable, offer an internship to someone who wants to learn.

As for finding free outsourcers, sorry, not going to happen, at least on a consistent basis. If you have the balls, you could try to barter promoting them to your new found list once they do work for you, that is if your niche even needs their services.

To keep all the money....Well, you get to keep the money you receive, but anything other than that isn't yours to begin with. Partner takes a their money, product owners take their cut, and affiliates rightfully get their cut.

There you go. Blueprint for a potentially free run business online.

LMAO, ill do it. I already did it a few times and my customers are now millionaires and me i'm still looking for my first CB sale.

I think you are dreaming. You can start off free in IM but many of the things you mentioned will end up costing you one way or the other.

I would suggest for you to start out with a free blog at blogger with a free domain. Spend some time producing original content and monetize it with some Adsense and Affiliate Links. Do some backlinking with some Articles at EZA and give it a little time. When you start producing some income put it right back into your business with some of the things you mentioned.

There is no shortcuts in IM and eventually if you want to be successful you will have to pay for things !!
Good Luck !!

In a nutshell, how dare you cut thru the crap so methodically?


p.s. Love your new Signature... LOL

Hi Dan,

I'll loan you my method to make a Million by the end of the week.
Please don't pass it around or allow anyone else to use it.


Warning, This method works so well that you should only press the button
one time each day. Any more than that and the Government will want it back. Oh, and make sure the switch on the bottom is not set on a Billion.

Please return it when you have finished.

Hope that Helps!
Have a Great Day!
Michael

you can find most things for free if you look hard enough, the problem is the virus's and spyware and redirects you will pick up on the way. Also you can get free domains and hosting but there will be too many restrictions on what you can do. they will even take a share of your adsense earnings. so if you do make a success of it, it wouldn't have been worth it because you will have paid a lot more in other ways. I can see dans post was a wind up, but there will be a lot of people watching and hoping for replys to help them get it for free.
My advice is, nothing is for free theres always a catch

Making a million dollars for FREE is possible.

Step 1 - Go the park in the fall and pick up 1 million free "helicopter" seeds

Step 2 - Plant the seeds in the ground

Step 3 - Sell the tress for $1 each

Step 4 - Spend like there's no tomorrow because you can always do this again each year.

Dan, I just got a PM from Alice telling me about this thread. Don't worry we are going to get you back into the rabbit hole to make this all happen.

Very entertaining. sounds like a challenge for the guy who started with a paperclib and bartered his way up to a house
(Search paperclip to a house) on Google
Just shows you though anything is possible.
Read about a guy who got a round the world trip sponsored using Twitter too.

You know, this question is very common.

The answer is: What is, rob a bank?

This question is my dream. May be I find some way to do this in here

There is nothing free in this world friend and becoming millionair for free cannot be possible.

Its not impossible but extremely difficult i would think. Not sure if anyone has actually done it before though...

At the beginning, you can start off with little investment. But as you grow, it makes no business sense to go the cheap route because it slows your growth significantly.

You can.. but you'll probably burn out before you get to enjoy it!!

Outsourcing, outtasking, delegating. Learn those and learn them fast!!

There is a lot of good "free stuff" out there and if you are starting off on a tight budget it could be worth using it while you are on the learning curve.

E.g. Openoffice, Wordpress etc.

Would be crazy not to take advantage of it. However stuff like hosting, domain names etc. is a false economy to skimp on.

And a good mentor is a chicken-and-egg. They normally cost a fortune because the good ones are making enough money anyway they won't get out of bed for less than $300/hr.

maybe being sarcastic is an effective way to drive sales traffic

I don't think it's impossible to become a millionaire for free.

If you can offer services and re-invest the money you make I don't see why you couldn't do it...

Does anyone else find it hugely entertaining how few people actually read the first post?

I was going to say "yes" because Alex Tew did it -- but then I discovered that the domain name and hosting cost him 50 Euros... :rolleyes:

The Million Dollar Homepage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Amazing post. People who think that way are also lazy. If you don't have the money invest time and learn how to do things yourself. You can become a millionaire for free but you can't do that without investing time.

Attention Dan:

I demand that you hand over everything that you learn and earn once all this has been given to you free.

It's Federal law. (I think)

/ more sarcasm

I heartily disagree with the "You cannot make money without spending it first" attitude. Here's why:

1. You make money from something by investing time, not money. You invest your time to learn effective copywriting, effective ad-writing, effective website making, effective business strategies.. etc. A fool invests his money blindly without knowing any of these things.

2. You can turn a profit from a website which you pay $0 for. The number one result for "Making Money Online" in Google is a page hosted at HubPages. To further extend upon this, you can make a website at a place that allows you to register a website with a subdomain, do your own graphics and your own web design, and still turn a profit by just investing your time.

With all that being said, I couldn't agree mroe with Dan C. Rinnert on the fact that you need to invest time in order to become a millionaire. And unfortunately (or maybe fortunately, it depends on who you market to ), a lot of people aren't willing to do that.
