You make me mad - What you mean your STILL not making money??

88 replies
Seriously, I am annoyed.

I always browse these forums to keep an eye on how the young warriors are doing and to check up on what the veterans are pushing.

Well...

Just lately I have seen way too many posts that go something like this:

"I've been doing this for XX Months / XX Years now and I still haven't made any money - well, I made one sale, months ago, blah blah blah"

Honestly...

WTF is wrong with you?!?!

Making money online is easy - it is very simple in both theory and application, all that is needed is a little hard graft and some patience.

Let me explain something to you:

Most of the "systems" do work.

Most of the "systems" are essentially the same, or very similar - there are about 10 different ones and a million spins on the those 10.

The simplest and easiest fomula for making money online is this:

"Traffic x Pre-Sale (or conversion tactic) = Profit"

Furthermore, there is a better formula:

"Traffic x Pre-Sale x Back-End Sale = More Profit"


Now please excuse my mood - I'm ranting as you can see, but let me explain this clearly....

First of all, you need to master traffic - I will do that for you right now - here is a masterminded plan for gaining traffic:

1) Write 10 articles and submit them using a submitting service. (Link to your website in the signature)
2) Convert those articles into video format - submit them. (Link to your website in the description)
3) Convert tthose articles into .pdf format - submit them to sites like Scribd, GoogleDocs, Torrent sites and the likes. (Link to your website both in the .pdf and in the signature.
4) Convert those articles into podcasts - submit them.
5) Convert those articles into FACEBOOK PAGES* - (Teenage Genius secret tactic - you heard it here first!!!)
6) Convert those articles into forum posts - post them on on-topic forums. (Link in your signature).

This shouldn't actually take you that long - and - you only gain speed with practice.

Now - those 10 original articles - spin them and repeat the process!


Furthermore now all you need to master is conversion tactics.

Therefore let me tell you a law which I have discovered though trial and error:

"If you are converting people to click adSense add's - do NOT put "valuable" content on your page, put adSense links and a load of junk so that people click the adSense to navigate away from your page"

"If your converting people to buy Clickbank products - pre-sell them with a sly sales copy"

Simples.

There is of course more to this than meets the eye - but this basic formula is more than enough to get you making money NOW!

So stop messing about with whatever non-sense you are currently doing to not earn you money.


Regards,
Sorry for ranting

TG.

    I don't really agree that it's easy at all but regardless - you've already identified why many of the people you are ranting about don't find it easy -

    all that is needed is a little hard graft and some patience
    Many people don't find hard graft or patience easy, especially when they are their own boss.

    Hi, thanks for the advice! I'm a little dubious of 'article syncronising', due to some posts on here saying that even though they posted the article on their website, got it indexed, and posted the article on article directories - they still got banned for duplicate content. I know it can work, because people have written about their success, so I'll give it a go and see if I can do it :rolleyes:.

    I kind of agree with Teenage Genius.

    Really all anyone needs to make money online is a high converting offer and traffic. It's not that difficult.

    But...what I've seen is that most people are trying to find the PERFECT way to make money online. They go through course after course without implementing what they're learning because they're looking for a magic solution.

    The secret is realizing that there is no secret.

    The reason most people don't make money, from what I have seen, is not because they don't know what to do, but because they aren't doing it. They are worried, scared, uneasy, unsure, etc. By the time they are ready to do anything, or realize that nothing is working, months or years have gone by.

    And that's when we get the "I've been doing this for XX months/XX years and haven't made a penny!" posts. Getting backlinks is easy, getting traffic is easy, but you have to actually do something to get it.

      Some VERY successful marketers are making millions with text videos.

      Don't make assumptions...take actions...then draw your own conclusions based on experience.

      Often times when we make assumptions that something is not going to be worth our time it is nothing more than procrastination based on fear or laziness.

    OP is correct in saying its relatively simply - the most important factor is finding one method / system, and then doing it ALL THE WAY THROUGH - don't try for a day and then give up cos its not working ... you need to work the method / system.

    It takes some longer to develop the right mindset to be successful online. Some marketers come out of the gate with it. Others take months or even years. It took me years to develop discipline and the right mindset. Unfortunately it can't be taught. There ARE plenty of systems and tactics that work. Heck, you could build a business around just 1 or 2 tactics. But only those with the right amount of discipline will be able to do them consistently and make them work.

    Guys I know TG personally - he helped take my page from a few visitors to a few thousand.

    Thanks for this post Steve - It's very helpful to newbies and veterans alike. But I most agree with what some people are saying in this thread: some times it is not the fact that people don't know how - it is that they do not apply the knowledge they have learnt whole heartedly.

    What you've given us here is an excellent system to get anybody making money online - well, an outline anyway - but as you have told me: you can write an entire book, teaching secrets you and insider knowledge which you have, in a single post on a forum - I get that - and can't wait until your "Simple System X" comes out.

    Anyway thanks for the great post - oh and I've made some progress on that project you gave me - I'll talk to you later about it.

    Peace bro,

    What do you mean about converting them into FACEBOOK PAGES. Are you saying make each article into a seperate fan page or just post the article on your own fan page wall?

    Also how can you post an article on a forum? I always thought forums were for adding short comments.

    You seemed to have left out keyword research

    He left out keyword research because SEO is not a forefront of this plan, it's getting people to follow content from other high traffic sites back to your page.

    I like the outline. Thank you TG! You're right, I have seen this all before (well most), simply not in this direct structure.

    I agree with Roger (ExRat) but also think that telling people they should build their business by spamming out regurgitated versions of their articles is really bad advice.

    There's a massive difference between scratching around for some random sales and building a business.

    Both are valid and suitable for different situations/people but don't confuse them as the same thing.

    Keyword research is not just for SEO. I could post a bunch of articles in the way he mentioned, but if few are interested in what I have it's unlikely they are going to follow the links back.

    Glad that is working for you, I'd propose another route for people looking to make money with adsense: give valuable content AND structure your site to make people click offsite. Not sure what tier level of adsense earning you are at, but I know a couple of Adsense managers (@ Google) who will initiate a manual review and take a hard look at a site to see if it's a "good" one or a "questionable" one. They will either ban your adsense account or most likely invalidate the ads for your junk site if the site doesn't prove to be one of providing a valuable viewing experience to the end user.

    Take it from someone who has been working the Adsense game now since it was released day one..

    Why should you get links to your website artificially? Are there methods to get traffic naturally over a period of time so that your site is not punished by search engines.

    This kind of traffic will be of good quality and responsive/converting.

    My 2 cents...

      No problem, this is really just a ring in a desert when it comes to gaining traffic to your website - I just wanted to share something which I know most people will be able to do rather easily.

      Some of the best ways of gaining traffic are actually OFFLINE marketing - doing events with charities and wearing t-shirts and sporting banners with the websites URL on it for example.

      I hear you on this - believe me I was once the complete opposite of the productive guy I was today - and before that, I was similar to how I am now, just really young.

      There was a point in my life where I just broke down and spent a good few years being a lazy depressed mess (it's hard to explain, heart break at 16, son born at 15, years of fighting in court, the girl I loved telling lies about me - missing my GCSE's even though I was the school's top student - It was all too much!)

      But that experience taught me so much and finding the strength inside me to pull myself out of my bad ways has done nothing but strengthen me further since then.

      I understand some people can't hold it down - and to those people I give one piece of advice:

      "DO IT ANYWAY!"

      What I mean is: whether you believe you are strong or weak, whether you believe your plans will succeed or fail - DO IT ANYWAY - this will give you "true knowledge" and feedback that you can work on - you would have taken the first step and proven to yourself that really: it was easy, wasn't it? - and it's easy to do even better next time - in fact, it's near impossible not to do better next time

      There seems to be a growing trend in syndication - IMHO: if you've had bad dealing with articles then go for the other options on the list.

      Articles themselves are abused badly and have been since day - but the others are nowhere near as controlled, monitored, or restricted.

      It is also a good idea to try and talk to staff who work for the directory companies - it is amazing what changes happen when you simply talk to them on an honest level - for certain things it will mean the difference between you not getting banned when everybody else does (not saying your going to get banned, but this is an example)

      As a different example: my sister tried to get a Littlewoods catalog - she applied online and was refused.

      I told her to phone them and have a word, be real with them - they accepted her.

      Sometimes a little phone call here and there makes all the difference - especially when dealing with CPA offers.

      Controversy is one of the big keys to success in this game Andy.

      Controversy sells - so does sex and death, but I stay away from selling the second and third lol.

      Seriously though, thanks for the comment - I understand some people may see it as unethical - when I say "junk" with the adSense pages it doesn't have to all be bad - (within bad: good is concealed, within good: bad is concealed) - the page can still contain good content and if that's the case then placement of ad's is key.

      Honestly I see "unethical" with adSense doing things like making a search engine where every result is actually an adSense link - or - using clever gimmicks to get people to "click here" when there is an adSense link hidden underneath - all that stuff I personally stay away from - but saying that, I personally stay away from adSense these days so I can't be one to talk.

      I really like that "The secret is realizing there is no secret"

      But, there are secrets. I would say the biggest secret is to think for yourself and have enough conviction to follow everything through until you get results, good or bad.

      I do agree with what you said about people waiting for the "perfect" system - there isn't one - IMHO these people should simply quit IM and go start a Window Cleaning company - right there is a simple proven system of gaining profit.

    Thanks bro!

    You seemed to have left out keyword research
    Keyword research is the first thing taught by everyone in every flippin' product I've ever bought or received free - forgive me for skipping this.

    Articles can be added to forums - you simply have to be a little creative about how you construct your post.

    Also, with Facebook - I am trying to say use Facebook as a hosting platform which has benefits

    For example: a Blogger blog is simply a free web hosting platform - however you can make a Blogger blog appear to be a website, or a sales page, or a wordpress blog! - but blogger has benefits - it's free and Google loves it.

    The same applies to Facebook.

    I like the outline. Thank you TG! You're right, I have seen this all before (well most), simply not in this direct structure.
    Actually I left out keyword research because I'm sick of it being the first thing taught or spoken about - it drives me mental lol.

    And thanks for the kind words

    Both are valid and suitable for different situations/people but don't confuse them as the same thing.

They will either ban your adsense account or most likely invalidate the ads for your junk site if the site doesn't prove to be one of providing a valuable viewing experience to the end user.

    Take it from someone who has been working the Adsense game now since it was released day one..
    Thank you for this Kael - IMHO I haven't messed with Adsense for a little while now, but what I mentioned in my post was my tactic before and I never received punishment.

    BUT - Warrior's please take advice from Kael as he has more authority to speak on the subject than me!

    Facebook pages(or really any web 2.0 properties) work great for viral exposure. I've got a new site built up that automatically posts out stuff to several properties on any new addition to the site. People see my post on facebook, linkedin, twitter, etc and follow up with it by coming back to my site if it interests them.

    Case in point: Seo Tools Universe – The Black Hat, White Hat Tool and Service Directory

    Every new listing that gets posted gets blasted all over the place. Had some traffic come over today from status.net

    Moral of the story is, don't hesitate in using syndication to the web 2.0 platforms. It works.

    To be honest- it was easier for me to follow systems before I found the Warrior Forum.

    Once I got here and saw that there are hundreds of different systems people use, it's VERY easy to get overwhelmed or sidetracked.

    Bottom line is that it comes down to 3 things:

    1) Get quality traffic
    2) Collect their emails
    3) Provide value

    Do that, and you can make some $$$

      The truth is that a lot of people simply want the dream. They don't want the crap that comes in-between, and they don't want to settle for less than riches. Naturally, the guys in the IM niche are going to market products that claim colossal incomes and require hardly any effort.

      It's psychology at it's finest. Here's a recent example:

      I frequent another forum and made a post about how I saved $700 last month by using the principle of pay yourself first and two automatic transfers. My wife and I are both on salary so a bit got skimmed off of each check. It was so effective that my wife didn't even notice I did it . Five minutes, $700 a month for as long as I want to keep it up.

      Will most people now scramble to learn about that principle and set up automatic transfers? Nope. The technique doesn't sell the dream and so, most people don't care.

      I prefer a very structured approach:

      1. Figure out how much money you need to live the life you want. Set your goals from there.

      2. Learn to hang onto the money you have. No amount will ever sate you if you can't handle your cash.

      3. Learn some sales psychology. Learn to sell to others, learn to spot sales techniques. Curbs impulse spending like nothing else.

      4. Figure out what you're good at, what you enjoy, all that jazz. From there, choose a business model.

      5. Learn as you go, researching what you need to know. If you're worried about missing something relevant, set up Google Alerts and check it once a day.

      6. Only buy what you need in order to continue.

      That's my approach. Works for me

    Once you add the words "work", "determination", "common sense", "plan", and "persistence", you've lost pretty much everyone who makes those posts. Really, there are hundreds of how-to threads on the WF going WAAYYY back that are still solid today and can make you a solid income. Problem is, it won't just create itself, you've got to go out and do it (yeah, like the Nike commercial).

      Wow!

      I've been "studying" IM for years now with slow to NO action on my part. Something always seems to get in the way.

      Now here's a simple plan that takes a lot of what I've been reading and distills it down to something that is workable for me. Thanks for that!

      For the benefit of those who are not convinced of the potential for article marketing, it seems to me that whether the articles get pickedup and read or not, they are a great place to script out what comes next, i.e. videos, podcasts, fanpages and what not.

      Thanks again for a great thread.

    Let me add one more, and I think this would go somewhere around the submitting of articles, join active linkedin groups and once your in, go to each group and submit your links to the articles, vids or good content that you write, if it is crappy stuff dont submit, you will only hurt yourself.

    But if you can find niches in there it will do wonders for you. Linkedin drives really solid traffic.

        This sums up a large percentage of people unfortunately - those people need to understand that no matter how many times they fail, as long as they track and record their results and make changes in their experiments each time, they will make progression - if they don't then they will simply drive themselves insane, literally!

    When I first decided to get involved with IM - I knew nothing of sorts. (My entire background has always been in Entertainment and Real estate investing) To me it felt like I was looking at a giant puzzle with to many pieces to fit together.

    It certainly wasn't "EASY" as you have discussed in your post - However I will agree that once I started to learn from someone that was already successful with IM - things started to magically make sense and the more and more I did it the better and better I got to the point of making money online.

    In my opinion - if I had to explain my success in IM - I would describe it in these steps:

    1.) Learn from someone success that has done what you want to be doing. (FYI:books, videos, mentorship programs, membership programs, products, etc.)

    2.) Make a list of 10 goals and pick the one you feel would have the greatest impact on your life if you achieved it.

    3.) Create a plan - write down all the things you'll need to achieve your goal

    4.) Work from your goal daily - (TAKE ACTION - START) Do one thing from your list daily and master the skill set. (Even if it takes you 2 to 3 weeks to learn a new traffic technique - master it first - then move on to the next.)

    5.) Repeat - Do it over and over again until you get it right. The sooner you start to get good at one thing - you'll come to find out it will take you less time to learn new techniques.

      Some great advice here. Focus and goals are very important. Also planning is essential and should be done whether you are a newbie or an experience marketer. I change my planning a few times per month to keep on track and keep my goals written on the wall infront of my desk

      Yes.

      In my experience it is all about the music in text based videos - along with, of course, a good gripping start - short questions for example.

      There is also a document famous in psychology circles which is called a "Barnem Statement" which is essentially a document which actually refers to "anyone" but makes the reader feel as if it is relating to them directly - the statement will says things like: "You are very extroverted in your approach at times and at others very introverted" - which of course applies to everybody in the world! - This is a good area of study to look at if your going to be using text based videos.

    Great post. This is very true, most people are just too lazy to put the work into making money online. It's really not a hard process at all.

      For the benefit of those who are not convinced of the potential for article marketing, it seems to me that whether the articles get pickedup and read or not, they are a great place to script out what comes next, i.e. videos, podcasts, fanpages and what not.

      Thanks again for a great thread.

      Dave you've identified the main problem: you need to take action! - be fearless in your approach because whether you succeed or fail first time, you will undoubtedly learn something of use.

      And as your second point: yes, articles are a great way of scripting the rest of your marketing efforts. I honestly find that articles alone are simply not enough - well - writing and submitting to EZA for example - but even if you don't make videos and podcasts from your articles; forum posts and facebook pages are sufficient to drive some really high quality traffic your way.

      Thank you

      And, I find the same thing! - I am guessing that this is because when people "work" in brick and mortar businesses they are commanded and pressured into doing their duties (and even then, some are still lazy and sluggish about it!) - but truth be told these people need to learn what I call the "secret to life" which is: You need to put something in to get something out!

      Also, weird enough, I find some of my best work comes between midnight and 5 in the morning! I find that during this time there is no distractions for me and I can simply work away - maybe this would help some people who, for whatever reason, can't bring themselves to put in more than a few hours work.

      IMHO - It is very easy online to earn £1,000 in less than 24 hours. This does take time to reach this level of reputation and skill however, but even still: this should be a motivation for people to get working because I know a lot of people that don't even make this amount in a month! working a 9-5 job! - even if you worked 72hours, or even a whole week to earn you £1,000, you are still earning 4x as much more than most people in 1/4 of the time!


      Also - there have been a lot of thank you posts and I am saying thank you for your thank you's - but, if anybody has any questions please don't hesitate to ask them here in the thread and I will do my best to answer them for you.

    Well...

    Just lately I have seen way too many posts that go something like this:

    "I've been doing this for XX Months / XX Years now and I still haven't made any money - well, I made one sale, months ago, blah blah blah"

    Honestly...

    WTF is wrong with you?!?!

    Making money online is easy - it is very simple in both theory and application, all that is needed is a little hard graft and some patience.

    Let me explain something to you:

    Most of the "systems" do work.

    Most of the "systems" are essentially the same, or very similar - there are about 10 different ones and a million spins on the those 10.

    The simplest and easiest fomula for making money online is this:

    "Traffic x Pre-Sale (or conversion tactic) = Profit"

    Furthermore, there is a better formula:

    "Traffic x Pre-Sale x Back-End Sale = More Profit"


    Now please excuse my mood - I'm ranting as you can see, but let me explain this clearly....

    First of all, you need to master traffic - I will do that for you right now - here is a masterminded plan for gaining traffic:

    1) Write 10 articles and submit them using a submitting service. (Link to your website in the signature)
    2) Convert those articles into video format - submit them. (Link to your website in the description)
    3) Convert tthose articles into .pdf format - submit them to sites like Scribd, GoogleDocs, Torrent sites and the likes. (Link to your website both in the .pdf and in the signature.
    4) Convert those articles into podcasts - submit them.
    5) Convert those articles into FACEBOOK PAGES* - (Teenage Genius secret tactic - you heard it here first!!!)
    6) Convert those articles into forum posts - post them on on-topic forums. (Link in your signature).

    This shouldn't actually take you that long - and - you only gain speed with practice.

    Now - those 10 original articles - spin them and repeat the process!


    Furthermore now all you need to master is conversion tactics.

    Therefore let me tell you a law which I have discovered though trial and error:

    "If you are converting people to click adSense add's - do NOT put "valuable" content on your page, put adSense links and a load of junk so that people click the adSense to navigate away from your page"

    "If your converting people to buy Clickbank products - pre-sell them with a sly sales copy"

    Simples.

    There is of course more to this than meets the eye - but this basic formula is more than enough to get you making money NOW!

    So stop messing about with whatever non-sense you are currently doing to not earn you money.


    Regards,
    Sorry for ranting

    TG.
    I like your rant

    Want to know the real reason most folks never make money online? It has less to do with what they're doing than what they're thinking. Most folks just don't believe it can be done. They try something just long enough to prove that that particular method doesn't work. Then they go on to something else. The truth of the matter is most things actually work...if you do!

    Its amazing how taking it back to the basics can fix many problems. With all these WSO's nowadays people get lost and on a broader level loose out on the simplicity of the internet. Traffic is everywhere you just have to get in front of it.

    Any suggestions to which submission directories to use? Are automatic ones OK? How many directories are we talking about?

    Can we have another rant Teenage Genius? I like your rants!
