Method I used to make my first $100 online (No opt-in)

38 replies
I thought I would share the method I used to make my first $1 and what turned into my first $100 online. I lurked on WF for years and learned a great deal. I now make more with IM than I ever was able to make with a Masters Degree.

I wanted to share this because I find that most people lose motivation if they don't start to make money quickly. The reality is that making long term, REAL money takes time but a little motivation never hurt anyone.

A little about my method:

- It's 100% free and will cost you nothing to get going
- You need to have/get a CPA Affiliate account
- You need to have a good dose of common sense
- A bit of work ethic

Let me know if you liked it. Hated it. Think I am a genius/idiot. Wasted 20 minutes of your life. Want me cannonized. Whatever.

    How long did it take you to get the $100 and how many hours did you put in?

      Neth,

      I had my first $100 day doing this about a week into it. The trick was to catch on to a hot trend before it got really hot (if that makes sense). My first $100 day took no more time that my first $10 day. It was working smarter and using a bit of intution (and luck) choosing some trends that went from popular to webtabulous.

      If your article gets really popular on Gather, you have a chance of Google news picking it up and if they link to your article, you can see some big dollars.

    Do you have an example of one you have done that we can see on Gather? I'm interested to see how the CPA looks on the article.

    When you say "Go to Digg, Reddit and Delicous and create a bookmark to the article." Do you mean submit your article to those sites?

    This article was great but when I tried to register for a Gather.com account I received a notice that they were no longer taking new members as a result of heavy spamming. Maybe this technique could work on another site. thoughts?

    Tebow and Camilly break up

    … after only 2 months! That’s right, because it just didn’t work out.
    It’s not clear, why these two broke up, but one thing is sure: Tim will remain a virgin until marriage. The 26-year old Camilla was given blessings from the parents of the sportsman. better being single? Tim Tebow has been linked to Dianna Agron and Taylor Swift before - it is still unknown, if the 25 year old will find himself a new girlfriend. Of course, the sports-star has his wishes: sweet and kind - and a servant’s heart. There you go, ladies! He’s free now!

    Great share anyway - maybe the site will work in the future...

      yep but there are other sites besides gather just google: Sites that take article submissions like gather.

      I think that this was a great idea nevertheless nothing wrong with it. Don't take the gather problem to heart.

      This same sort of thing can be done on your own domain. Haven't you ever seen the huntingtonpost.com, and other content curation sites? You pick a neutral domain name and start putting actual posts you see trending (BUT IN THIS CASE YOU GIVE CREDIT TO ORIGINATOR), you are just curating the information. Its much more proper to do it this way.

      You can get this site making money in a similar way and if its on your own domain your you can advertise anything you want. Make sure that you GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.

      Think about doint that instead.

    Sounds like it could be a great idea but it also seems like a lot of time per hot topic for what could be very small income.

      Question for you

      Wouldn't posting titles and links to your Gather post in the Youtube comments be considered spamming?

      Just curious

    Good Idea!. I don't know how it worked for you. But i can't try it as i tried earlier similar method with no success. No one likes to complete CPA offer now a days.

      This is a nice basic system. Thanks for the share.
      Just have to find sites other than Gather.....or follow Claire's suggestion and start our own site with trending topics using curation to save some time.

    I think it's a good method. I've read a similar method before but I didn't implement it. Maybe it's about time that I try it and see if it would work for me. Thanks for the share.
