      You're begging for a ninja to put a shuriken through poor grandma's eyes.

      Basically I wanted to know some ways that people would suggest to family or friends that could make them money. Nothing earth shattering, although the more you put in the greater the rewards might be. Something a grandma or someone could do in their spare time.

      The first one that came to mind was doing a review site as an Amazon affiliate. That's not much of a list though. Just one thing.

      WSOs might be a little much for the audience I'm thinking of. I could see someone's head exploding from the information overload.

      Another easy one for grandma would be to create a blog about a hobby and use AdSense. Probably wouldn't rake in millions, but maybe a little pocket change.

        I'm just brainstorming for something lol. There are a million sites about "make money online now!" but thought I'd get a consensus from real people (you guys) on what basic internet ideas for making money would be.

            It's not MY grandma, it's my friend's. And the old battleax will make life so miserable for those poor ninjas, they'll change their offer.

            Make money within two months, or we bring the old bat back!



            Seriously, though, with a two-month window, it kind of eliminates anything that relies on SEO for traffic. I'd look for a hot product and create a supplement for it, then try to get a JV where my supplement is part of the package and I get a piece of the action.

    2. I'll create a page for her with buy now link on it.
    3. Get grandma to go and help people on knitting forums with a link to that page in her sig.

    Not that its very cost effective, but Grandma could purchase an existing autopilot site that has a proven history of success.

    There are also plenty of autopilot sites for sale with a proven business model, that don't have previous earning. These will be a lot cheaper but Grandma will have to find traffic herself.

    Sorry to say but Grandma might be assassinated : )

    OK,

    This will save her from the Ninjas, guaranteed.

    Tell Grandma to visit her friends at the home. Every decent retirement complex has a computer room and it's usually empty. For a small fee Granny can teach her friends how to email their children and grand children.

    After she makes a few hundred bucks she writes an eBook on how she made $40 an hour....

    Teach Old Dogs New Tricks and Make Bank

    Find out how Granny Wright Virtually Liberated 100 fellow oldies but goodies from a local institution while single handedly defeating a band of crazy Ninjas.

    After Granny makes a few bucks from her friends and makes $1000 from her WSO now comes the biggie.

    Granny writes another WSO on....

    If this Octogenarian can So Can You... WSO creation for old people guaranteed to provide income for the rest of your life. Get even with your children and grandchildren... Spend their inheritance on this WSO and help a fellow Warrior get a new set of teeth.

      Ok

      Is that ctrl-c or ctrl c because it aint working for me and meanwhile Grandma is driving them Ninjas crazy with her demands to have an escorted poop every 20 minutes and her reliance on Jackie Chan saving her on the basis that she watched all his movies so its time to repay the debt!!!!!

      In a classic IM twist of fate, i think the Ninjas are going to register www.BuyCrazyGrandma.com.... create a squeeze page, open an adwords account, blog about their experience, create several review sites about Grandma, get a groupon campaign going, make a WSO about how NOT to kidnap someone, create a Facebook page, Twitter account and Linked in profile and just think f**k it, lets auction the b***c on ebay!!!!!!!!!

    My Grandma passed away a couple of years ago but I can tell you that she wouldn't take any crap from ninjas and after dealing with her they'd probably run and keep on running!

    But if I had to make some fast money online I would perhaps do one of the following:

    * Create and sell some PLR packs - a business that is always in demand.

    * Create a product related to seniors then run a WSO and sell it with Private Label Rights.

    * Create some 'how to' cooking videos and upload them to You Tube. Link back to her own 'cooking' website where she will sell a Recipe ebook that she has written.

    This hasn't been mentioned yet because it is not the fastest way to make money but it does require no skill! Create a file that is in high demand, upload it to a PPD site, post a video on youtube, use sites like enhanceviews to get your video to go viral... profit!

    Not Granny McBride! NOOOOOO. I better hurry up and come up with a plan. I'm assuming that these ninjas must have some kind of force field that's preventing me from busting into their hideout and beating them all to a pulp. Or, as I usually call it: Tuesdays.

    With that information, here's my 20 ways that she can make some money online that wouldn't require her to be an internet marketing genius.

    1 - Sell her old junk on craigslist. She's got A LOT of old junk, and I'm sure it would be worth parting with some of it to keep from being a ninja victim.

    2 - Sell her more expensive stuff on ebay. All those old collectibles are worth something, might as well put them to good use and find other collectors.

    3 - Write some articles! That old wrinkly gal can type pretty fast. Have her jump to the warrior for hire section and start writing articles.

    4 - Write articles for Textbroker! Luckily, Granny McB is a United States resident, so she can write for textbroker all day long. If she were from the UK, she could also write because they just launched a UK version of the site.

    5 - She could join Elance and put some of those old office skills of hers to good use.

    6 - G-Ma used to be a bit of an artist. She could offer to create logos for other people's websites.

    7 - For an old lady, she still has great hearing. I'd have her get hired to transcribe audio for other marketers.

    8 - Once again, those office skills could be put to great use as a virtual assistant!

    9 - With her sweet old lady voice, she'd be great as telephone support for an online business.

    10 - She already uses facebook, so it wouldn't be hard to teach her how to setup a facebook fanpage. With that skill she could set up fanpages for local businesses.

    11 - I'd have her go on fiverr, and for five dollars she'll sing a sweet old lady song!

    12 - ...OR, for five dollars, she'll tell you in 60 seconds or less, what it was like to live in any given year that she was alive.

    13 - Yet AGAIN, on fiverr, she will give an HONEST review of any of your products.

    14 - She loves to learn and look stuff up, so someone could hire her to do research for their next product. She'd collect articles and links to websites that have to do with whatever the client wanted.

    15 - She loves her card games! Maybe I'd stake her to play a little online poker!

    16 - Once again, she's got that sweet old lady voice. She could record narration for a sales video, especially if it was for a niche that older people are the main demographic.

    17 - Granny, in all her years, has developed an eye for good sales copy. She could write some sales copy for someone who already has a great product.

    18 - Grandma McBride LOVES to read, someone could hire her to be a proofreader.

    19 - My sweet sweet granny has been doing her own taxes her entire adult life, she could get hired by someone who needs their taxes done.

    20 - Last, but not least, my Grandma can make a youtube video of her preparing all her amazing old lady food recipes and make money off of advertising.

    21 - BONUS! My Grandma is an OVER-achiever, so here's one more way. She could start a blog about what it's like to be threatened by ninjas and make money with adsense.

    Don't worry Sweet Granny McBride, your favorite grandson has your back!!!

      I nominate this worlds best answer ever.

      It's hard for granny's to come online at 71
      and do anything on here. thats why most granny's join bizopps and rotate on traffic exchanges.

      but recipes are great for granny's. i saw that suggestion by someone and thot tons of stuff to do with recipe

      -adsence sites
      recipe videos
      recipe books

      and that falls into the cooking niche old granny might pull that off.

      He was trying to start some great conversation in a fun and exciting way. While that's a great link you've sent (I've shared it myself), telling people to stop posting these threads is ridiculous and contributes nothing. If you're annoyed with a certain kind of thread, don't bother clicking on it, because they won't go away. Newbies get A LOT of info out of threads like this. If you DO click on it, feel free to contribute something of substance. Leave the negativity at the door please.

        I just feel that compiling these thoughts into ONE thread will save much time and effort rather than citing tens or even hundreds of smaller threads when the inevitable happens.

        Why repeat information like a broken record when it's already in the forum awaiting eager eyes?

        I prefer to think of my opinion as 'constructive criticism' than 'negative comments', but each to their own I suppose.

    I prefer to think of my opinion as 'constructive criticism' than 'negative comments', but each to their own I suppose.
    I can understand your frustration, I remember shaking my head at the "I need to make $3k in 4 days! Help!" threads myself.

    If it makes you feel better, this wasn't one of those. I was seeing what internet marketers would put down as the simple basics of making money online. Basic as in it would be stuff marketers were extremely familiar with, and maybe the very first things they learned.

    I am really more of a writer than a marketer, even though I have to understand a little because of the projects and people I work with. Without all the ninja and grandma stuff, the post would just be "What are the very basics someone starting out could use to make money online?".

    I'm working on something and wanted to see if there was some type of general consensus on "basics". Just informal and fun research stuff.

    Cheers

      I completely understand, and don't take it personally... I was just trying to put it into the perspective of a newbie. They may want the answers that had been shared in this thread and more - which is why I citied the thread initially :p

      An error of judgement on my behalf - but luckily I'm human and am able to learn from my mistakes.

      Logic outweighs all.

      Based on my experience of trying tons of other things and buying all kinds of stuff, this is what finally made money for me and it didn't take 2 months.

      Build a list.

      Ya, I know. People read that all the time and so did I. However, no one had given me the details of how to get started and step by step how to do it if you are totally not techy and have no idea how to put up a squeeze page and even before that, how to pick a profitable market, keywords and then after the page it up, how to get targeted traffic and how to convert the traffic to sales.

      However, once I got that information I found it not very difficult to do and I posted this in some thread months ago as I was doing this for the first time, I think it was one week in and I made my first $34 or so dollars. I started doing that 2 or 3 times a day and then it grew.

      Once I got one list "kinda working", I researched another market, keywords put up another squeeze page and did it again....etc.

      Since I was doing ok, I told some other businesses about it and I got 2 who agreed to pay me for performance $100 per lead and $250 per new client even if they do only one service, one time.

      And there you go. So in 5 months, I have several squeeze pages in different niches selling for me on autopilot via my pages and my autoresponders.

      And I have 2 other sites getting leads for my offline clients that pay me for the leads and the clients.

      I still feel like a newbie and I still don't know a lot of techy stuff and can't make my sites fancy or even understand everything I read on here, put I'm making what most people would probably be a good living and in was in a couple of months.

      So that is what I would show your friend to do to save his Grandmother.

      However, there is no reason for you to make a product and sell this information to anyone, because I gave it away.

      :-)

    My brain is frazzled. Not really sure what I have just read.

    Is this real life?

    If you want it fast :
    1. Offer your writing/copywriting service with a very competitive price in a crowd forum (such as : warriorforum )
    2. Show in Fiverr and do something like : a Cute Grandma singing Happy Birthday

    As long as people are suggesting Fiverr gigs, here's one...

    Have Granny offer five minute Skype video chats with that boyfriend/girlfriend who insists on meeting your relatives.

    And if you want to be thorough, have the ninjas shoot a photo of granny lounging by a pool, with studly Chippendale types massaging her varicose veins and cutting her meat, with a mansion in the background and an Italian sports car with Granny1 on the license plate.

    You don't actually need these things - Photoshop is your friend...

    This is the beginning of the new year, 2012, and if talking about a fictitious grandmother held captive... I don't know what to tell you lol.

    Best of luck with your overall business plan.
