Detailed here on this blog over the past many years is an overwhelming sense of frustration trying to stake out my claim to “riches” on the world wide web.
Where many of my colleagues here in Des Moines are focused on providing services and businesses, I remain fixated and determined to create a stream of income from google adsense and affiliate programs.
I have spent countless dollars on $97 and up info products as well as adsense “engines” that promise to do most of the work for you… Nothing worked for me.
If there was one piece of advice I can give to other prospective affiliate marketers and adsense publishers out there it is this- do not buy and of the ebooks from clickbank! Why? Three reasons.
First, most of them are severely outdated and were written two or three years ago. Policies and tactics change, but ebooks generally do not.
Second, if you are going to purchase things from clickbank, get your own affiliate ID. You can earn back sometimes 75% of what you paid for the ebook. Of course you will need 5 separate credit cards buying through your ID before you can get paid.
Finally, I will reveal the secret almost almost all if the “make money online” sites hide inside their final chapters. In fact some ebooks exist only about the secret! So here it is: you plunk down $97 for the latest fast-cash ebook on clickbank, get through the fluff about setting up a website and domain name, and then you read the golden advice… The surefire way to make money on the internet is…
Write you own $97 ebook you can con others to buy on clickbank.
Sucker.
That’s it- that’s the big secret? In most cases, yep. Now there are some legit ebooks out there such as Joel Comm’s adsense secrets four (don’t buy The Adsense Code, his real book since he explained in a video it was his ebook’s third revision repackaged.)
So what do you do if you aren’t a salesman or seine wanting to dupe people into buying you latest info product?
That’s what I am still trying to figure out.
