A Survey - Earning Your First $1 Online...

7 replies
Okay guys and gals, here's a fun little survey I'm running. I think it could yield some interesting results and stories....

If you had to start afresh today, WITH all of your current knowledge but WITHOUT your assets (so no websites, products, JV's, leverage or reputation) and you had to earn your first dollar in the next 15 - 30 days, what would YOU do?

Let's see what kinda variety of work we have going on here....

Enjoy,
Marc

    I'd earn it in about an hour by tossing something up on ebay to sell.

  • Earning your first dollar online is pretty simple (as Jill just pointed out.) Most people want to start a business that will earn money for the foreseeable future.

    With that in mind, here is what I would do:
    1. Pick a niche with lots (50+) of established blogs (<100K Alexa)
    2. Scan the blogs to grasp groups of posts centered around a central theme and make a list of those posts and URLs
    3. Work this theme into a compelling book concept (just a sentence or two)
    4. Contact each blogger and ask if you can feature their blog post (the one you picked above) in a book along with a one-page bio/promo for them
    5. For every person who says "yes" create a chapter in the book and a bio
    6. Put together the book
    7. Put together a mini-site to sell the book
    8. Sign up for Clickbank if you can come up with the $49.95, PayDotCom if not
    9. Create promo materials for your affiliates
    10. Contact the people in the book and let them know it is ready, send them a copy and show them how they can promote for 75%

    By the end of this you have a product and a group of supporters in the market niche. Lots of work for 15 days, but it does work and it serves as a basis for future business.

    The main job for me will be to find a hot on demand product but with very few competition. Once I find the product, I will go find long tail keywords related to my product - with low competition and good searches. Then start writing articles that are to the point and talking about the topic in the keyword, providing information that the long term keyword demands.

    Main objective of the article - To get the reader interested in what I am selling and make him click my affiliate link and check it out.

    * I'll sure be putting the keywords in the title as well as making the title really attractive.
    * Make sure the article is short and to the point.
    * Won't forget to make the article flow in such a way that the article will make the reader click through to my affiliate link that I put inside the article.

    That article writing job will be what I'll be doing, again and again and again. Content is KING.

    Once I have my content ready I'll create accounts with the best keywords as usernames in the following sites. (I'll only be creating one account in each of these sites)

    1) Squidoo
    2) Blogspot
    3) Wordpress.com
    4) Gather.com
    5) Blogtalkradio.com (Use the blog feature and post your articles as blog here)
    6) Hubpages
    7) Weebly.com

    Ok once I have my accounts ready, I will just start posting the articles one by one as I get em ready. Post each article same article to all of these sites. Once each article is posted I will -

    * Make use of the social bookmarking services like digg, jumptags etc and bookmark each of my posts. Make use of onlywire service.
    * Ping each of my article post URL's using pingomatic.com

    Get the fee url of these sites and submit the feeds to maximum number of feed aggregator sites.

    Once I have my content growing, so will my post bookmarks and so will my feeds...

    Make sure your content in each of the site is selling that indemand product.

    I'll make sure I will write and post atleast 3 articles per day.

    That will be 3 x 30 = 90 articles
    90articles x 7 sites = 630 posts
    630 posts x approximately 10 bookmarks = 6,300 bookmarks

    And the numbers go on...

    But that will be atleast 6,300 web pages making sales for me online each and every day, even while I sleep, and that too with no money investment. (The numbers may differ, don't give too much attention to my mathematics )

    That's enough to make good money online...

    Regards
    Spencer Jones

    It's very easy even to a newbie like me. Since I've done all the test before so I know which product in Clickbank can sell. I will build the same landing page which I built before with free web hosting which I'm using now. Then I will write some articles and submit them to Ezinearticles with the url of my landing page. Then the money will come.
