How to take things to the next level

2 replies
Hello all, and please be gentle with me as this is my first post :-)

For some time now I have been building up an account with mybrowsercash. With referrals obtained through paid advertising and using their quite novel referral share program I am now at a point where I am able to withdraw approximately $10 per day.

Along the way I have been trying out various other strategies for making money online:

- Promoting clickbank products using ppc advertizing and lately George Browns sniper techniques. I find the competition is too hard, the products are of a low quality, the keywords are too hard to find and setting up sniper sites is too time consuming. And frankly I hate it when I myself run into a sniper site when I search for things, because they usually add no value whatsoever.

- PTC sites. Clixsense is an impressive site and I decided to upgrade to premium, which increased my direct earnings by a factor of 10. They have many different ways to make money, which is nice, but in the end it all adds up to pennies per day. Building a huge line of downlinks appears to be the only way to make serious money with PTC sites, and I'm not sure if that really is best way to spend money

- Article writing. Considered it once, but I'm just not that good a writer. Considered outsourcing, but finding a good writer, paying, and then posting the article, spinning it, reposting it - just seemed like a lot of work frankly.

- Promoting amazon products through ppc, like adsense. But I kind of ran into a wall with this, because I just couldn't figure out what Google permits, what Amazon permits, let alone finding products in niches that weren't already totally saturated.

- My current fascination is eBay. I have a good feeling that there is money to be made by dropshipping products from sites like madeinchina.com and others. But it seems like there is a lot to learn - you do have to know a thing or two to find a reliable dropshipper from China. Also I have never sold a product on eBay before so it will take a long time to build up any kind of status on eBay. None the less, I know people do this with some success.

What I would like to ask is just this: If you had $10 per day to spend in an efford to grow and build a bigger, steady stream of income, how would you spend it?

My goal is to get to $300 per day. Ambitious, yes, but I am not in a hurry and I don't mind having to spend a year to reach that goal if I have to. It's just a goal, something to aim for.

I am prepared to put in an hour or two per day initially, but later things should run more on autopilot since I do have a dayjob that I would like to keep :-)

Any ideas and suggestions are most welcome.

Kind regards,
Michael

    Be prepared for a battle. $300 a day is a good amount. Ebay is becoming more and more competitive. There are tons of people out there with goals similar to yours.

    I would learn as much as I can here. Make sure you have a plan to find and drop ship items. Is there a scenario there you can lose money? Be aware of that and do what you can to prevent it.

    If there is money there, there will also be competition. Knowledge is key. Knowledge and a bit of luck. Good luck!

    Thanks a lot for your reply. Yes I understand that $300/day is a lofty goal, but as I said that's just a target to aim for some time out in the future. No big deal if we start at $1/day, just as long as the method will scale.

    I guess eBay is pretty saturated, so I considered as an alternative to buy a web shop and furnish it with dropship products, then spend $10/day on ppc marketing.

    I think this would work, but it's not something I have a lot of experience with so the "getting there" part is a bit obscure at the moment.

    I considered short-circuitting things a bit by buying a site on flippa, but I'm wary of that because I don't completely trust the sales talk and the traffic numbers. I have a feeling that a lot of people there are using paid traffic to boost their stats in order to get a better price for the site. I would like to hear from anyone who have experience with flippa and site flipping in general. What to look for, what to avoid - that kind of thing.
