Website Flipping

Website Flipping
You wouldn’t believe how easy this is. For the most part, this requires an investment but it’s relatively cheap compared to what you make and can even be done a few times a day if you’re quite quick at it. Like in every profession though, there’s people who fail at the most simple of tasks and there’s people who are champions of the world.

What exactly this is, is you’re going to create a fresh website that will be considered an “opportunity” to make money and will be sold back to the public for a set amount. You create a website, add some content, then sell it.

Getting A Domain

The very first step is to get a domain. Now personally, I ALWAYS use Host Gator. They’ve always been super helpful to me and have always answered any questions on any help that I might need. You can use your own but I’m just referring you to my favorite host.

Now, depending on your niche, you need to choose a domain that’s obviously name-relevant. It doesn’t have to be exact name.info or exactname.org but you get the idea. If you’re doing a website about cruises then try to get something along the line of “Cheap-travel-cruises.org .net” what ever is available, it really doesn’t matter.

The domain name should honestly not need explaining nor help because it’s pretty self-explanatory and is why I put it dead first.

Niche/Keyword Research

Now, this should honestly always be your very first step but before getting a website you should have a niche in mind so that’s why I’m putting this as step #2.

Now, you might have your own software for this, but my favorite website in the whole wide world is https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal so go to it. Now with your niche in mind on what you want to create your website about, look for keywords, long-tail profitable keywords which don’t have much competition to take over. We’re not going to go into farther details because you don’t care how profitable the keywords are for this website.. your job is to make people believe these keywords are profitable enough to make a lot of money when you sell it.  Anything can sell if you know what to say to people. So that part is quite purely simple.
Go to the Google Keyword tool and type in your niche/keywords and lookup for some low competition keywords and please dear god make sure they’re at least getting searches.. yes I have been asked if that was a requirement. Write down 20 of these keywords you noticed.

Adding Content

This is the part I personally can’t stand because I only like content being added by me and since I am a very fast writer, I just write it all up myself. However, not every one wants to do that, and since you’ve already invested $25 or less into the domain/website, you can either use the above methods described to find free content (if you can) on your niche or you just have to bite the bullet and write yourself.You can outsource/hire some people to write the content for you with the exact keywords given.. yes that is very important.. please make sure you are using the exact keywords you noted down. However, when someone writes content for you, quality is not guaranteed or usually even delivered. You’ll just profit more by writing the articles yourself, however if you scale this up and do it long term and a lot with a lot of writers doing this for you, it can become quite profitable by outsourcing. So this is up to you. This section doesn’t really need it’s own section but I felt I should chime in with my thoughts anyway.

Selling It

Here is the meat of the package.. selling it.. ah yes here we go.

You can sell this on marketing forums or on www.sitepoint.com        which is personally my favorite place to actually sell websites because well.. a lot of business goes down on that website whether it be small or big.
In case SOME HOW you are behind and still have no idea how to set the website up and are not to this point yet.. I would advise you to re-read this section but I will break it down for you.

#1 – Choose a domain name related to your niche, it doesn’t matter if it’s .org, .net, .com, w/e. Register it through your own preferred hosting.

#2 – Go to the Google Keyword Tool and find 20 keywords whether they be long-tail, or short. Think
Bum Marketing and find 20 marketable keywords with low competition but decent searches monthly.

#3 – Either write the 20 articles yourself (they should be around 300-500 words I prefer 350 and add them to your website). This was kind of implied but you never know.. some genius out there probably forgot to do this step. Or, you can simply hire someone to write the articles for you.

#4 – You should be here.
When setting up a listing on Sitepoint, first impressions are EVERY THING! These people buy
websites for a living, so you must convince these people that your website is the worth the price tag you put on it.

Remember to include some main pointers inside your listing. It covers profitable keywords, it’s
relatively cheap for the traffic it will bring in, It’s an amazing business opportunity. Now, you will
almost always be asked why you’re not just making money with it yourself instead of handing off such a wonderful opportunity and the response that usually works for me is “I just don’t have the time to run it. I can create these in no time at all, but I simply don’t have enough time to add or manage the content there.”

You can use your own excuse but what ever works. Be professional and present this website like it’s been raking in thousands of dollars per week for you. Don’t flat out lie, but you have to make people seriously believe this website will make the money.In site flipping, people really do love the kinds of opportunities like this and they usually jump at it the first chance they get. It all just depends on the niche you’ve chosen, hopefully you’ve selected great keywords and the articles/the website it’s self is presented professionally.

Now while there isn’t a lot of information or steps needed to site flipping, I know that some times it can be confusing for new people and if there is anything you didn’t understand or any thing you have a question about, please don’t hesitate to ask me.

E-whoring

Putting Aside Your Morals

Now, I know first hand that a lot of people have trouble with pretending to be a girl online, but let me tell you this. E-whoring is one of the easiest ways to generate fast cash and if done right, produce steady income! When I had first heard of the idea of sending messages to horny guys trying to get them to sign up to your affiliate link or such, I wasn’t really on board with the whole idea because I thought it was kind of gay and lame. However, when I actually had gotten into it, I found it was easier than doing freelance jobs and easier than writing measly articles for $2-5 per article which some times takes all night depending on the job.

I do understand that some people have morals against the entire idea of this kind of method of making money but believe me the money is worth it. Guys.. in general are not very smart people.. ok let me rephrase that.. guys are stupid. Have you ever been to an adult website (Don’t lie) and seen those cams that are obviously re-runs and recorded and there’s a free chat session and you see guys actually trying to chat with this girl? These guys will leave their e-mails, they’ll leave phone numbers, names, anything hoping to get a call back from this girl. If you don’t believe me, go see for yourself, there’s plenty of them out there.

The point is.. people in general aren’t very smart, specially guys when they’re hungry for sex. If they’re willing to do anything to get what they want, why not supply them with that anything? So while it may be wrong to some people to pretend your a woman online for quick loads of cash (Yes, I can’t emphasize loads enough), every one has their own beliefs but believe me when I tell you, putting aside your morals and giving it a chance can either be the best or worst mistake you’ve ever made.

Top Converting Companies To Promote

There are a lot of companies out there that deal with the adult industry and depending on who you’re targeting and what kind of ads your posting is what we should be looking at here. I can tell you first hand right now, that no matter where you e-whore and what you do, the cam programs are the best promoting and highest paying affiliate spot in the industry. There’s not a single guy in the world who would turn down a beautiful woman on cam if it was in there cost range. Luckily for us, the two programs I have chosen to share with you, are definitely in price ranges.

I have seen some customers even go ape nuts and spend over thousands of dollars on one cam website in a night. Now, I know that isn’t an every day thing, but how lucky was it that some bored rich lonely man was under my affiliate link? It’s more bound to happen when you’re promoting the best converting companies in the industry.

Webcams

Cams

Now, I know those two companies look the exact same, but believe me they’re not. I do a little bit of mixing with ads and networks with both so that I have two revenue streams instead of just one. That’s just smarter networking and if you do it up on a large scale, you’ll have two companies paying you the maximum per customer payout and that is a ton of coin my friend. In the next session, we’ll cover how and where to make ads to lure guys in and how to make them stick. That is what most people seem to have trouble on.

Making Ads Stick

You would not believe the amount of questions and e-mails I get to this particular question. Some

people just don’t have any clue how to make ads that don’t look fake and will stay up for a long time which in the end results in more money for you!

First and foremost, get a realistic looking picture of a girl. I know men are dumb but who honestly

believes there are super model look a likes or celebrities online looking for flings? As nice as that

would be, that just isn’t the case. The sweeter and the more nice the girl looks, the better. Try to find a laid back country girl kind of picture and it doesn’t matter if she’s super pretty or not because most guys aren’t picky. You won’t get flagged as much or if at all with a realistic looking picture. This is the number one reason most people lose their ad is because of the display they use for the ad.

Now, when you’re writing up this ad you have to remember that women usually aren’t the desperate type. When women are online and if they’re looking for someone, they’re generally curious. Most of the ads you can view online say “I’m so hot and horny for you baby, come get me”… come on.. seriously?

I’m going to show you an example of a good ad and a bad ad.

Bad:

“I just turned 18 and i’m looking to have some fun.”

Good:

“I’m kind of nervous about meeting someone online as my friends are against it but I thought I would give this a shot.”

Of course there’s more to a body then that but the point is, you’re making them too unrealistic.

Remember, there’s nothing better to a guy than a curious sweet girl. Sure, you can do things the original way and find some picture off Google of some gorgeous Hollywood babe and you can probably even get a few conversions but you are losing so much money and potential by doing this! Remember, to be realistic and try to think like a woman instead of thinking like a man.

Now there are tons and tons and tons of classified websites out there, but the biggest website I have the best results with are Craigslist, hands down. When making these ads, it’s alright to do it through a Gmail account but you have to be careful how you go about this. First off, for e-whoring do not do your own domain name.. when the first thing a man sees is that he got a reply from

“supersexyslutty69@yourdomainname” I’m pretty sure he’ll put two and two together.. or at least I

would hope.

When you’re writing the title of this ad, remember it’s just like writing an article. You need a sticky

name an something that draws attention.. don’t be too loud because you don’t want that kind of attention but you do want attention. What I mean by this is “Super horny virgin looking for fun” while it draws attention is way too loud and obviously asking to be flagged. Try something such as “hopeless romantic tired of relationships, looking to try something new.” or something along those lines. Of course you can be creative with your own title but remember to think outside the box and not too draw the unwanted attention of post flaggers.

In the body, we’re going to keep it short and simple because the guy’s looking for action he’s not

looking for a life long story or life long partner. Chances are, he already has one and she’s out of town or vice versa. I know this may all sound confusing but I will give you an example of an ad body to use.

Title: I’m tired of playing games are there any real men on here?

Body: Well I was just dumped again for one of the most retarded reasons too…. I’m not looking for

anything serious you must be able to host and you must be DD free and I will require a pic of yourself before I arrange a meeting with you. I’m looking to meet up and see where the night takes us.

Or another

Title: Hopeless romantic seeking hope

Body: So i’m not really good at this online thing because I don’t really like it but I’m tired of waiting and finding the wrong guys. Right now I just want something casual and something that doesn’t bring more drama to my life ugh.. I’m so done with drama.

Do you know why that second message is one of the best converting messages? Because.. she sounds desperate but she doesn’t sound like she’s desperate for anyone. She seems hopeless and needs a shoulder to cry on and this is a jackpot for guys.

Now, I could give you a descriptive list of which websites to post on but honestly the only one you will ever need is Craigslist.com. If you do it by the cards and follow my advice, it really is that simple and your ads will stay up forever and the e-mails won’t stop flowing in, I can promise you that. The next part of e-whoring is collecting the e-mails and responding to them.

How To Follow Up With E-mails

So you’ve Step #1:

Posted an ad on Craigslist and used my advice.

Step #2:

YOU DID NOT, I REPEAT.. DID NOT set up an auto-responder.. this is just lazy and you will lose conversions.. trust me.

Now that you have all of these e-mails sitting inside your inbox, you have no idea what to do with

them. While you could, have them forwarded to a different e-mail, there’s really no harm in doing it from the e-mail had it sent to. I’ve sent a lot of e-mails.

Now, there are two very common methods people are using to reel people in.

Method #1: Sorry

This is where they respond with something along the lines of “sorry I haven’t been able to get back to you Ive been busy” then they enter their website.

Method #2: Age Check

This is where people say they’re strict about who they meet up with and they require an age verification and send them to an e-mail submit.

Both of these methods are stupid in my opinion. If a guy thinks your a real girl who’s willing to sleep with him, then you could have him doing anything you wanted.

Now, while I like to try a few different things of my own because every thing and every person

converts differently, some days one will win and some days it won’t… it’s just something you have to try out for yourself.

Instead of using some lame excuse about age verification or saying you’re sorry, why not use what I call the starving college girl method.

Basically, you tell the guy you and a few of your friends are in an adult website/cams/or so, it depends on what you are promoting. Now, he’s going to find this interesting and probably still believe you’re a real person and at this point ask him to sign up with his e-mail or what ever is required, and make it sound like he’s helping you by voting for you or what not. This method works.. it really does. He never once was tricked into signing up and who cares if you never talk to him again, he wins either way.

So in summary. First, get yourself signed up with an adult affiliate program listed above. Then, find a picture of an attractive girl (not a supermodel, but attractive.) Then you’re going to head on over to Craiglist and post yourself an ad using the tips I gave you for the title and the body. Then, you’re going to wait at least a few hours to a day, the longer the better and then you’ll manually respond to the e-mails.. it’s very worth it once you see the conversion rate.

PS: Take note that craiglist now is difficult to post and getting the ad stick. There are tonnes of other forums, irc chats, to fish for these guys so think creative.

ewhore

Paid Surveys

What Are Paid Surveys?

Now, before you jump in and exclaim “PAID SURVEYS AREN’T GOOD MONEY, YOU CAN’T MAKE $100 DAILY WITH THOSE!” You’re just not utilizing them correctly. Now to most people it’s  probably pretty common knowledge that you can get paid online for doing surveys. Still, not a lot of
people know about these and the potential if you maximize this correctly.

To be short, Paid Surveys are nothing more than companies who are willing to pay you for your opinion. Now, there are different kinds of websites and companies who offer these paid survey opportunities. The first kind is the research company. These are companies with products or a service and they’re trying to better their product or service with the help of others. Have you ever seen a poll on a forum or website asking you to vote on which new layout is better, or asking for your opinion on an upcoming feature? This is why companies do these kind of things and offer people compensation for helping them make more money down the road.

The other kind of paid survey opportunity is a website which has offers to be filled out and they will be compensated for each person who fills them out. You are doing them a huge favor, practically automating the service of CPA and in turn you are rewarded a decent amount of the amount you have made them. Depending on the website and the offer filled out, you will make either $1 or you can make up to $75 in some cases. While most of these offers are free, some of them are credit card required and we are going to avoid these offers at all costs as I am not a person who likes anyone knowing my cardor having access to my money. After all, the goal here was to make money, not spend it right?

How Do They Make You Money?

This is probably the first question that popped into your mind right? Well as I have stated above this is simply how a paid survey works. You will fill out a survey or questionnaire which usually can consist of a couple of simple questions or can go on for quite a few pages. The good news for you is, the ones that consist of pages and pages usually pays quite well.
Let’s do a little experiment here. Let’s say you only have time to fill out 5 surveys daily and each one pays $1 and is fairly short. If each surveys only takes 5 minutes to fill out, for 25 minutes a day that is an extra $150 a month. That is more than a lot of affiliates are currently making. Now, that isn’t a lot which is why I carefully choose which survey companies to go with. Paid Surveys aren’t and never should be your main money source but believe me, you can make a ton of good extra coin and kill time with paid surveys.

Now let’s say you’ve gotten pretty quick at taking surveys and you can take 10 a day which each pay $5 per survey and they take you 10 minutes. For 1 hour and 40 minutes a day, your monthly income just from surveys is $1500. I personally know some factory workers who work 8 hours daily and still don’t make a ton more than that. You see, when a survey is filled out, you are either helping grow a product or helping a company get an
idea of what their consumers want or you are filling out a CPA offer for a website which makes them good money and in turn you are helping them make money, so they compensate you. Now, some websites won’t compensate you in cash and these are the websites we will avoid. Just be sure to also avoid the offers who ask for a credit card, because our goal is to avoid spending a single penny. Paid Survey Websites

If you do a simple search at any of the search engines you can probably find a good deal of information regarding paid survey websites and all of the websites that pay you for these. Well, I have personally narrowed down for you, the four best paid survey companies. They have some of the best free offers on the internet and some of the highest payouts.

They are known to pay and this took a lot of research into these companies to find out if they actually pay or not. Sure, there are hundreds out there, but I’ve narrowed the list down to the four best.

DealBarbiePays
CashCrate
CravingCash
TangoTreasure

Just remember, that surveys that only pay a measly $5, you only need to do 20 daily to reach your goal of $100 for the day. This is very doable and in a later course, I will discuss advanced tactics and such to earn above this goal and how to maximize profits off of these kinds of websites.
