Stop buying money making ebooks and invest in yourself!

I have been investing hundred of dollars in buying ebooks since the past 2 years. Like anyone else, i am inspired by how those authors claimed, “you can make $50/day or even $100 /day by using my method!” But obviously, i am not making $50 or more per day. For example, there’s an ebook that i bought which is about website flipping last time. The title is “Earn $500 per day by flipping websites! Guarranteed!” The title seems kind of addicting right? Wow, if i can make $500 per day, i am earning $15000 per month.

Well, i bought it and LOL, basically it just teach you the basics of what is site flipping? how he create his site, where to sell it. This may be good to newbies but i doubted the results would be same for everyone. The information given in the book are just common sense. Since then, i stopped buying ebooks that claims to be able to make you money online. If people are really making $500 per day, why would they bother to sell their ebook for just $5 instead of using the time to duplicate their “proven” method? Making more money?

My research on money making ebooks

Most of the money making ebooks are written by “kids” and of low quality. Methods might works now, but after a while, it won’t. Reasons may due to saturated market. Mostly, this ebooks are being sold in webmaster forums like digitalpoint. However, there are exceptions good books such as Holly Mann internet marketing book etc.

Many people buy books to learn something new or want to make money online. But common mistakes that we make are that we have not change our mindset to learn the new things. Among 100 people that bought the book, 85 people just read it, 10 people practice the method, and only 5 people with the correct mindset and attitude master it. If you ask me, Derek, are those making money ebook for real? I could have say to some extent. Though there are some black sheeps ( scammers) of the trade, there are others that really works. So, see the reviews before buying.

But for me, after wasting so much money in those money making ebooks ( which none of them works after a couple of weeks or months), i’m not wasting my bloody money on them anymore. Someone told me this sentence that kind of given me some insights.

“Don’t rely your success on others, rely on yourself”

So, despite on just buying ebooks that contain methods on making money from others, why not invest in yourself, buying inspiration books, designing / programming books or any other books that teaches you a skill? I think those help more and i am 100% sure that you are learning things that “really works”. This is a more worthwhile investment.

Making money by selling signature links

Do you join forums? Do you know that you can actually monetize that little section to earn you some cash monthly? Selling signature links is a good start for people who are interested in making money online, but do not have a fair amount of money to invest into webhosting expenses and domain names.

What is the thing that makes signature link worth money? Have you got any idea yet? Yes, i assume you already got that answer, but nevertheless, let me explain it. I guess most of you have heard of this term called Search Engine Optimization. It’s all about making your websites rank higher in big search engines like google, yahoo, msn. And, with higher and better ranking, your websites get better exposure and of course more traffic.

To successfully sell your signature, you need to know at the criterias that those webmaster / marketers look at when buying signature links. As one of them, if you asked me, i would look at the two factors below.

Reputation
By having a high profile or reputation in forums. Your post are more being recognized by others. Of course, it bring exposure to the signature links.

Number of posts
The more you post, the more the signature link is exposed. Thus, this is a really important criteria.

My attempt on adsense

I started adsense in early march 2008 after a recommendation from one dper and i actually started begin playing it only since last year. Since then, everytime i develop my own websites, i would display adsense on it. The below screenshot is the total amount of money google gave me for just for putting their ads.

This is no good stats taking account to the timepsan of 3 years, but i am glad that i chose adsense 3 years ago. For those of you who hadn’t signed up for adsense, sign up now and earn money!

Basic of Website Flipping 1

Website flipping is like playing property real estate. Below are the similarities between both of them.

Process of Real estate

• Buying a house, and reselling it for a profit when the land prices increased.

Process of Website Flippings

• Example 1. Buying a domain for $7, develop a website, and resell it for $50.
• Example 2. Buying a established website, build value to it and resell it at a higher price.

Of course, flipping a website is far more easy then playing property real estate. You don’t need to have a large sum of money. It’s really that easy and don’t really require any knowlege of expertise. By just a small investment of maybe $10usd and some hours, you could have earn $50usd in profit. Even a 9 years old kid can do it. Is there a market for flipping websites? Definitely yes. Just browse through some popular webmaster forums like sitepoint, digitalpoint, webmastertalk, there are people selling and buying sites every hour.

I mentioned that flipping a website requires no knowledge of expertise at all. Below is one example of how you can flip a website requiring little knowledge. Also, you should thank open source softwares like wordpress, phpbb, because they make it possible.

Step 1 : Register a $7.15usd domain at godaddy.
Step 2 : Buy a hosting package. Just visit digitalpoint forum. They are people selling packages at such low cost of $1 per month. If you want, just email me, i can provide you free hosting.
Step 3 : Go and download wordpress and install it in your webhost. Alternatively, you could just login to cpanel, go to fantastico and click on install wordress. It’s just a few clicks
Step 4 : After your wordpress blog is created, spent a some time to research which type of blog you should start. Cycling, tennis, swimming etc. Then start posting around 7 to 8 articles regarding that niche. People are looking for unique content, so make sure that your articles passed through copyscape.
Step 5: Build some link exchanges to your blog and get some traffic to your blog.
Step 6: After a few days, when your blog received some traffic, post it up for sale.

That’s how you can earn $50 usd with just an investment of $10usd and some hours of work. However, that requires some hardwork. If you are hardworking, i am sure you could make some petty cash out of website flippings.
