Looking For Hands free Income Oportunities

You are destined to fail so prepare.

There are no "autopilot" magic money-making techniques. Anyone who tells you there is is lying to you.

Do you have any idea how much work is involved in testing and maintaining successful PPC campaigns?

Hi, you said "I know it's possible, people do it all the time"
How do you know this? Where did you get that idea from? Not by reading the WSO on this forum I hope.
Because yes you'll find a lot of magic buttons for sale when I'm afraid it doesn't really exist.
I'm still wondering where you got that idea from anyway, maybe you could try to talk directly to those people, I mean try to find the fews who like to share because they're not afraid of saturating the market.

I hope you can find that autopilot source of income.

The people who are doing things on "autopilot" and living the Internet lifestyle (which IS possible) are doing it because they have a staff of people doing the autopilot stuff! In the very early Wild West days of the Internet there were bandits who were able to scam the system a bit and use software to pull together sites and then run them with little time or effort.

While there is software that will pull sites together quickly, it has never been the creation that makes money but the marketing. And the marketing takes time, effort, networking and testing. None of that is autopilot in nature.

That said, there are things that you can do and build in just 30 - 60 minutes a day when you don't mind taking a few months to get things off the ground. Building content search/affiliate sites the right way which depend upon SEO and social network traffic instead of PPC traffic comes to mind. Because you only have minutes a day to pull things together and because PPC traffic travels at the speed of light you would need more time to gather testing information to run something like that.

Dave,

I am not going to send you a PM here simply because I am sure that others will send you their offers and you will get bombarded with them.

If you are going to get into a niche, I would recommend you start with the home business niche. It is very profitable if you know what you are doing.

If you are going to get into this niche, I would encourage you to work with programs that will pay you both residual income and an income from other people's efforts.

Don't do any paid media right now until you get into something that has potential to earn you both types of incomes.

I can imagine. But if you think about it for a little while, Dave, you'll see that someone with the PPC skills you lack is more likely to want (and deserve) 75% on an ongoing basis than 50% for the first month, aren't they? They're contributing the skills and experience needed to bring in the profit. For someone with that ability, producing some start-up money and building it up for themselves is likely to be pretty easy, isn't it? Managing a PPC campaign isn't typically anywhere close to "set and forget". Seriously, you need a Big Strategic Rethink, here.

Forget it Dave, you're chasing shadows.

This genre of post has been made about a 100 times this last year alone: prove to me you have a way I can make money without doing any work or spending up front money.

There's no such thing as a niche that is "untapped and profitable."

The amount you're offering is ridiculous.

Basically, you don't want to do any work finding a niche. You don't want to do any work in the future aka hands free income. And you don't want to pay any money except from your profits and that is only for one month (when, if you have any profits, they will be the smallest), even though you seem to think no skills are required for you to pull this off. Everything is no risk to you.

This is why you have been struggling for so many years and will continue to struggle. Good luck.

I'm not a big PPC guy so I can't provide feedback there.

My closest set-it-and-forget income stream is from promoting a very high quality recurring commission software (web based software that charges monthly) that's sold to a niche industry which is used by customers for years. Despite the passiveness of it, I still have to generate more sales each month than the number of referrals who stop using the software. Generating new sales requires ongoing blog content (once a week or so). This fortuitous campaign of mine is not very common and it took me 2 years to build up the blog, the email sequences, the freebie offers to generate a decent passive income. Not to mention all the time I invested in other projects and promotions that didn't work.

I've read about affiliates using PPC and other paid traffic for affiliate sales and many of them invest a lot of time testing, testing and testing. If you're into analytics and numbers, then it may be for you. I prefer writing so I go that route.

Honestly, an online business is a business. You can take vacations, enjoy schedule flexibility, perhaps work fewer hours than demanding jobs, and enjoy no real income ceiling ... but it is a job and requires ongoing effort each month. The only reason I do it is because I like it. If I didn't like it, I'd go do something else.

Get into product creation, and create something that will stay evergreen.

For instance, if you were to create a school that taught say "Mental Mathematics" your school will always stay profitable so long as people continued to buy. (No technology can change these methods)

Whatever support your students needed can be easily outsourced after you create generic response templates for your support team to use. This schema requires very little work and effort needed to maintain the gravy train.

Invest in somebody else's business.

If you want to run your own business, there are no short cuts. As mentioned above, the only 'hands free' business is to invest in someone else's biz

First off, STOP looking for opportunities.

If you want to create an online income you can't go opportunity seeking, that led me to spending money without making anything for about a year...

If you want to build an online business by creating your own sales funnel/products then add me on Skype (my ID is sem3737) and I can add you to our mastermind group.

I agree, running any business takes time, investments of money or work (or both), and nuturing in between...not exactly hands free.

On the flip side, I do believe with proper product positioning, a well laid sales funnel, connected to a quality built website, one can most definitely generate longterm/residual income(s) if the components are setup and designed properly. Perhaps not 100% hands free, but automated using strong email marketing -techniques... it can be close to hands free.

And if you do outsource everything...better keep a tight lid on the cookie jar, less someone with hands on might be tempted to snack on your profits.

I have to agree there is no such thing as setting up a PPC campaign and believing that you will be getting a solid income form it. First you have to have a product that people want. Then you have to advertise and there are several ways to do this and PPC is only one way. Were you thinking of your own product, affiliate products or CPA? What ever you are thinking about make sure you set limits for PPC (and you have to monitor it) because otherwise it will become very expensive.

Even magicians spend money on their business and they CAN pull a rabbit out of thin air.

What is the catch Andy?

YOU ARE A COMEDIAN ... This is a gotcha post isn't it... loads of money and still thinking like that? nah... not if you worked for it.

Only spoilt kids think like that... sorry not being personal... but that is an incredible attitude for aworking adult

So true ^^^ OP is here since 2009 and still hoping for magic button methods...

Well Andy, that's a bold statement followed by a ballzy guarantee, let's see if you can pull it off...

If you want to create a pipeline to money that will allow you to sit back and collect income without work in the long term, it will involve A) a considerable amount of thought, B) the discovery of an unnoticed opportunity, C) a great deal of work to create automation to allow most of the work to be done in a hands off manner, D) a fair amount of capital to sustain the development, launch, and initial growth, E) employees to handle the work that cannot be automated, including a well paid and trustworthy manager, F) a patentable system to deter the competition that will inevitably come, G) a plan to evolve and expand to avoid obsolescence, and finally H) a great deal of luck.

Hey, do have trouble finding an autopilot profit in IM? have you tried something simple? By doing something simple, learn the mechanism, and have your first earning will do you a great point of self confidence. Once your confidence up, there will be no limit of what you can do next. Try Clickbank, that is by far the simplest method of earning some bucks. You go find a potential product, promote it by website, blog, YouTube, etc. Make your own product review and make a good impression, I am sure will find one that works.
