Making Money In A Whole New Way

Hey guys,

I haven't written here in a while, as my central blog ScottMW.com has been my main place of posting, but I thought I'd give the people an update on my journey.

No, I haven't reached $5000 per month yet on a steady basis. But I have been on a long and bumpy journey! I went from spending about $10/day max advertising money to about $150/day within a matter of a couple weeks. What happened was I started getting into ClickBank and made what seemed like a lot of money (read more about this here) until I figured out I was spending more on average than I was making in the long run. So about a week ago, I decided to completely cut spending and see what happened with ClickBank.

Now I knew very well that I had to make up for the loss in some way, so I scoured the DigitalPoint forums for fresh ideas, talked to my friends, thought about it a lot and finally came up with a couple of solutions.

Anyone who knows me knows I started BlogFlare.com a couple months ago and it's been a decent success, having received a Google PageRank of 5 in its first month and already having over 400 active blogs in its index. So what did I do?

I began selling space for advertising on the site at $10/mo per ad and so far I've received about 6 subscriptions for it. Yeah, I know $60/mo doesn't sound like much but it is $2/day and anyone who is scratching by with Adsense knows that $2/day isn't bad!

So then a friend of mine suggested I help him sell advertising on a few other sites with higher PR and traffic, and we've been able to sell up to about $750/mo worth of ads on sites. Now I got varying percentages of each of those sales, so my individual income from these sales plus my sales on BlogFlare add up to about $410/mo so far.

Suddenly, it's jumped up to around $14/day from these sales alone!

The next thing I decided to do (based on a friend's advice) is creating proxy sites. You might be wondering "what the hell is a proxy site?" Well, I won't go into detail but essentially it's a tool that most anyone can use to browse the internet anonymously. The cool part is that these things make decent money.

Since I started about 4 days ago, I've been making around $14/day average from AdSense as a result of having these new sites, and it's going to get better with what I have planned. By the way, if you're interested in creating proxies, let me know! I am building a large blasting list to announce new proxies to my visitors, and so far I have over 300 subscribers.

So yeah-- I went from being in a rut to making about $28/day on average per month just from my online activities, and this is traffic that will build! In fact, I am getting over 15,000 impressions per day as a result.

The funny thing? I have still been getting ClickBank sales every day! For some strange reason, people are visiting my sites through organic search results and still buying the products. It's fantastic! However, I don't really count the ClickBank income in my daily average as it's never constant. I just consider it a bonus!

So now that I'm making a steady $28-30/day, I'm about 1/5 towards my goal. The sad part is that I wasted a lot of time getting here, but I've gotten here in the last week!

Good things are happening people. It's about to get crazy. :)

Using ClickBank To Make Money

Using ClickBank To Make Money is not as difficult as it might sound.

If you are getting into the business of blogging for profit or even if you just really want to recommend a great book you found, you should definitely check this out. First and foremost, ClickBank sells eBooks and informational guides. Secondly, they pay you by referring other people.

eBooks and Informational Guides

When you want expert advice it's usually pretty hard to find, especially when it comes to making money online. If you can find an expert, great! But for those of us who aren't so lucky, we like dummy guides or eBooks that can give us step-by-step instructions on how to get money flowing into our accounts.

So if you wanted to become a profit blogger, you would probably want to go out and buy "Blogging To The Bank" by Rob Benwell. If you found that book interesting, you'd probably want to tell other people about it in your blog. So if you're going to do that, you might as well make a bit of profit from it, right? Of course!

The hardest part is getting people to believe you, but just make sure you recommend things that don't suck and people will naturally trust in you to be the middle man.

ClickBank is the middle man's best friend in this case. All you have to do is sign up and find the particular guide(s) you want people to purchase and put the correct link in your blog and voila! You are generating income by helping people. What better way to spend your life?

You can earn anywhere from 1% to 75% commission on a single sale at a maximum of $100 commission per sale. Typically, people will offer 75% so you're okay here.

Referrals

As I stated earlier, ClickBank is also a referral service. If you want other people to have similar success with their blogs and you help them out, why not profit from that, too?

According to ClickBank's FAQ, you will get 20% of the activation charge (20% of 49.95 or $9.99) and you will get 5% of the markup on any sale they generate in the future. You get enough of these babies going and you won't have to worry about much.

Conclusion

ClickBank is very simple to use and best of all, it's no risk to you or anyone else so people will trust it just like I do. So give it a shot, and start using ClickBank to make money!
