I was in the same place as a lot of marketers… I wanted to learn how to make money using the internet, and I wanted to make it fast. I kept hearing about these “internet millionaires” and I wanted to be one of them, or at least make enough to have extra spending money around. I remember being so excited and determined when I started out, and I just kept on hoping and kept on hoping.
Then nothing.
I couldn’t make money online, even with all the tactics I tried. All these strategies which seemed SO perfect! Then I just gave up, and moved onto the next strategy. This time it involved social media.
Nothing real happened. So then I tried it again – nope, those Clickbank zeros kept showing up. On top of that my site traffic was dysmal – numbers were so low I felt my gut wrench.
So I said to myself, “*Grr*, this system is crap. Let’s try this one, it sounds promising. It makes this guy 10 grand a month!”
So then I tried it and it seemed pretty cool, but then, “Oh waiiiittt this takes too much time. I’ll never have that kind of time to do it. I should switch to something less time consuming.” and then I went and watched TV later that night…
Eventually I found some forums and looked around for help. I learned all I could, and I downloaded every book and course I could find looking for the answer. I thought I found it a few times, but I was completely wrong…
I started thinking everything was a myth, or that these people were scamming me and I was wasting all my time! I decided to go my own path, and combined all the things other marketers have told me before.
Then I got a sale.
That’s right, I got a f***ing sale! Straight to my PayPal account. *Cha-ching!*
On the way I learned a few things:
- You don’t need to use social media if you don’t want to
- You do have to start talking to people
- Blogs and branding yourself is important, but you don’t need to constantly update them to be successful (I just like to)
- You can’t do all the work yourself. At some point you’re going to need to ask for help
- Being on the computer numbs you… Therefore, take breaks, and exercise and play sports at least 2-3x a week
- This isn’t a tunnel dream, you really can make money online, there’s tons and tons of potential
I’ve been having a lot of thoughts lately. It’s probably what made me much more philisophical instead of technical. I’ve been thinking about things like mindsets and feelings, rather than tactics and techniques. I’m even writing a small book about it.
The book is part of what inspired this post, but the other part is the potential to give it away. Yup, I want to give you a hours of long and thoughtful work. I do want to get your email address, though, so just keep that in mind. Other than that, you don’t have to pay any money or anything to get it.
What the book is is a reflection on internet marketing, and it can give you strategies to help you focus. You’ll be able to work less, and get out and enjoy what you love doing more often.
You’ll get work strategies that I use personally, each and every day. Using these will ensure that you get the most out of the time you put in, which means that you get more done in less time. You’ll wake up every morning being more productive than the last.
You’ll even see how marketers other people who are trying to help are actually ruining you! They won’t even be able to touch you, let alone even affect your marketing plans.
And most of all it’ll give you the mindset you need to have if you’re ever going to be an internet marketer. You’ll be able to quickly solve choices that used to seem so hard before, and see straight through the bull crap going online.
Now, the book is almost finished. I’m putting the final touches on it. However, when it’s available I’ll immediately put it on a page called Project Blackout.
If you’d like immediate notice of when it’s available, then here you go:

The follow is a random stream of thought I had. No, I am not on any drugs. No, I am not drunk. I am just f***ed up sometimes.
Why are there penises on the twelve foot rabbit cake? The hairspray will snow on the phone because ferrets are looking at me through the calendar, whilst Rock Band softly laughs at my 7 Habits. It’s a cruel joke but Altec thinks it’s funny to laugh at my expense… God damn you staples, always bothering me – I don’t want the Super Furnace you fish-headed eagle tree! Take it and crumple it under the sink, where light is no more, and glasses are hanging by the CD rack.
…
Hahaha. I told you it was messed up. Anyways, I’m heading to bed now, it’s like 4:18 AM O.o

Ned Bigby from Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide
So, I just finished watching South Park from my DVR, and when it stop playing, guess what pops up! Ned’s Declassified School Survivial Guide. They started talking about money, and how teenagers can make some money for themselves – you know what, they were right. Their tips were brought up pretty maturely (even though their acting was a little weak… okay a lot).
Ned, Cookie, and Mosely (the main characters of the show) all wanted to get money for a concert (correction: it’s a party with an entrance fee) or something, so they needed to get work. They decided to work as a team, and get random jobs done. Well, it was going pretty well, they booked a few jobs but they hadn’t done any work yet. Eventually things started to break apart…
Cookie tried doing magic for money, Ned tried to find various ways for ”Free Easy Money,” but Mosely, the girl, actually stuck to the plan and did her due diligence. She did the work and did was was guaranteed to make her money instead of chasing some wild goose chase. Now, I’m not saying that making money shouldn’t be easy, and certainly shouldn’t cost you anything at first. All I’m saying is she did what she knew what was right, and she stuck to the plan.
Here were the tips they gave… (I can look back through the timeline from my DVR):
- You need to be 14 to get a job, but you don’t need to be 14 to be making money. That means you could be baby-sitting, mowing lawns, getting a job, or be making money online ;-)
- Make sure you’re clear about payday. And if you want money fast, make sure the person paying you is clear about it too.
- There is no such thing as easy money, and remember, hard work always pays off.

Your first sale online is special, and in this post I’ll talk about just how special it is, and just how to get it. If you’ve already gotten it, then congratulations! It must’ve felt awesome for you =) I’m truly happy for you. For yours who hasn’t come yet, don’t worry, it’ll come soon…
Most people don’t believe they can make money online deep inside. Some even think they can – think of those people on American Idol who think they’re hot stuff, but really haven’t accomplished much (if anything). Sorry to say, but people like that are out there. Others are more humble – like Chris Allen, who if you haven’t noticed was the American Idol WINNER for 2009. I mean, he’s a great guy, great singer, and now he’s won the biggest singing competition in the world. I’m really excited to see what he has in store. I mean, just imagine the sheer joy he must have experienced when he got through the first round. Then the second; then the third; and so on until he won the BIG prize.
Just like Chris Allen (who has a very similar name to me… Kristoffer Alan Roxas) getting your first sale online, whether it’s from affiliate marketing – which I know plenty about – or from your own product. It could even be Ads for all I care. Making money is making money.
Here are a few recommendations, and how you can get started:
- Be eager, but don’t act needy. You always need to act from a place of strength, and never from weakness.
- Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT spend money for your first campaigns. Make your first sale online without spending money, at least until you can cover yourself.
- There is a big learning curve, I know, but stick to one good program. It’s common sense, just stick to one system and you’ll do fine.
- If you ever wonder why you’re not seeing any progress, then write down what you did yesterday. I’m sure there’ll be a lot of revealing things in there…
- When you are experienced, don’t let people take advantage of your good will. You can help them out, but if you’re the only one giving for a long time then it’s not really a good deal… Hint: if they pay you, it’s a good deal
And now, a small (free) blueprint to make your first online. It’s even easier than my more popular one, 12 Hour Marketing. (All links open to new windows).
- Find an offer – Clickbank.com and Amazon.com are recommended
- Do a little keyword research – I personally like the free Google Adwords Keyword Tool
- Write a review-style post, and put it on a Blogger (Blogspot) blog
- Build a Squidoo lens, link it to your blog
- Write an article and post it to EzineArticles.com, link it to your Squidoo lens and your Blogger blog
5 steps, you’re done. Once you’ve done this enough, then go pay for traffic, buy your tools, go crazy.
Have an awesome day! And now time for my shameless little pitch, of course. I recommend checking out Maverick Money Makers so you can learn how to make lots and lots of money online. People brag about making $10k/month online (which I still strive for), but these guys are AMAZING. The Maverick who created this product rakes in at least $171,168.06 Per Month. People out there are making money online, and if you’re not one of them, no matter how desperate you are, you need to start somewhere.
