Make Money Online - Scam or Legit?

Okay, today and tomorrow (August 30th and 31st), there is still time to get $20 off on the Web 2.0 Wealth product which revolutionizes blogging for us non-technies.  If you click on my Web 2.0 Wealth link  and then from the sales page, click on Alex's picture (NOT the picture of any of the testimonial people).

Make Money Blogging - Web 2.0 Wealth Review

It’s almost shocking to hear of a product that’s really unique and when it comes to making money online, phew, then it’s almost unheard of.

Well be prepared for a shock. There is a new product for making money by blogging that is in a class entirely by itself.

Alex Sysoef has created, Web 2.0 Wealth a package that contains a WordPress blog with all the plugins needed and video instruction on how to set it up.

Usually, to setup a Wordpress blog, you would first download and configure the blog itself, then go to the Wordpress site and download each plugin, install each plugin and try to figure out how to configure the plugin. Web 2.0 Wealth saves you hours and hours by including the plugins with the blog code itself – one step instead of 40. The Web 2.0 Wealth videos also show you the optimum settings for bringing traffic and converting that traffic into money from your blog.

When all around people are talking about creating information products in a day or a week, the time and effort that Sysoef put into creating Web 2.0 Wealth is wonderfully different.  Not only is Web 2.0 Wealth an extremely comprehensive and valuable product, but Sysoef beta-tested and incorporated feedback to make blogging “Grandma-proof.”  Anyone should now be able to make money by blogging regardless of their technical abilities or experience with making money online. 

I’m offering a free graphics package to anyone purchasing a copy of Web 2.0 Wealth through this link.  Just send an email to [email protected] indicating the email address that you provided to Clickbank on your purchase.  You’ll receive over 100 royalty-free images that you can use on your website, blog, Squidoo lens, etc.  Pictures are on wide range of topics including sports, landscapes, every day objects, famous places, animals and much more.  These pictures have not been available previously and will eventually be part of a professional package that must be purchased.   A few samples were included in the previous post.  This is your chance to get them free, as a courtesy for buying the revolutionary blogging product, Web 2.0 Wealth.

Royalty Free Images

Well I've been off in search of graphics packages with decent royalty free images, preferably a package that comes with resale rights, so if it's great I can sell it to others and earn it's cost back.  But so far I've found two commonly sold packages that contain some decent images and about 14,000 buttons in 12 different colors and 5 different shapes that say "Download Now" or "Buy Now."

Come ON, where are some pictures that I can use in my header or add to a Squidoo lens to jazz it up?  So.....  I'm going through some old photos.  Here, take a look: and I'm creating a graphics collection of mine own.

I've got flowers and snowmen and check out the sea lions.

So anyway, if you are interested in a graphics package, stop back in a couple days. I'll actually be giving some of my photo collection away as a free bonus to anyone buying one of the coolest products I've seen in a long time through my affiliate link.   Yes FREE royalty free web graphics!  And trust me, they will simply be icing on the cake, when you see what you can actually buy....

Stop back.

P.S. Those are sea lions, right?  They live in the Central Park zoo, or did when we visited NYC about 10 years ago.

Who Gets the Testimonial?

So one of the ways to quickly build visible links to your website is to give a testimonial for another product.  The other product owner publishes your testimonial along with your name and website.

Today I planned to do this.  I had run across a $7 product that I actually needed and its function is one that a lot of people need.  So I purchased it and signed up for the affiliate program.  I had even researched the competition a bit.  And since this sales page had pictures of all the other testimonial givers, I went ahead and found a picture of myself which was the appropriate size (talk about counting your chickens before they are hatched).  As I wrote the testimonial, I realized I hadn't used one of the features that I liked and wanted to highlight.  So I went to use it.  Only I couldn't figure out how.  There is a nice tutorial with screen shots, but maybe my version of the software involved is downlevel??  because it didn't look like theirs.  And I couldn't figure out how to use this really cool feature.  So basically.... all of the time spent researching products, signing up for the affiliate program, downloading and trying to use, got me..... nothing.  Once again, I spun my wheels today.  I can contact the owner to get assistance using this feature and perhaps still have a new tool, BUT...  I can't very well write a glowing report about the ease-of-us, now can I?

If I could draw, I would draw a cartoon with a lumberjack in a forest where all the trees have been chopped at, but none of them have been chopped long enough to tip over.  And the next internet product provider walks up to the lumberjack and says "Clearly you need a sharper axe.  Here let me sell you one for....  and it comes with 4 bonuses that I simply MUST tell you about." 

As I sat disgusted with myself for having an unproductive day, the words I had read the previous day

They try to do too many things at once and end up not accomplishing anything 100%

came back to haunt me.  Where had I read that?  ... oh, yeah that was in the ebook that I was making fun of yesterday... Unstoppable Peak Performance, which promised to teach

How to overcome information and idea overload

I had been planning to continue to poke fun at that book by saying it could all be boiled down to the quote from Mike Litman: "You don't have to get it right. You just have to get it going."

Well maybe there is a bit more to the ebook than just that idea and maybe I need more than one sentence to overcome information and idea overload.  Hmm.... 

Today the ideas and products I expected to be winners were not, here is to hoping that some of what I thought was stupid, is not.

7 Day Business Turnaround

Okay, for the last 3 weeks I've been doing Mark Joyner's 7 Day Business Turnaround.  Hmm... 21 days of doing a 7-day business turnaround?....  so I should have done 1.5 rotations by now, right? 

Unfortunately no.  I really LIKE this program and I WISH I could say that I've successfully gotten through my cash crunch with its help.  But I haven't.  I came up with some good ideas and the forum is very active and I've gotten suggestions from that, but, I'm still lacking traffic and sales and $$$.

Mark has several different experts contribute content.  His primary traffic expert is Tellman Knudson.  I think the best piece of advice I got from him was the JV concept and to go check out The Warrior Forum.  It may still pay off.  The worst idea (in terms of results for me) was Tellman's own List Hero.  Somehow in going through the demo, I managed to sign myself up for about 3 of Tellman's lists and he sends them all something every day.  So I was getting 3 - 6 emails a day from him before I unsubscribed. 

On one of the final conference calls, Mark suggested that if you haven't hit your cash injection target (which is the goal to get out of cash crunch mode) that you go back through the whole program again.  Now, I know it sounds like I should have gone through it 3 times, but.... I couldn't devote the full-time focus to the program and so what i've done so far is more like the equivalent of 8 days.

And while the Warrior Forum has a lot of great resources, it also has a ton of great sales people who make offers all the time.  Just today I think I've seen two offers from people who are going to help me overcome the nightmare of information overload that is out there about internet marketing, how?  by providing me with MORE INFORMATION??  Is it just me or do you see the irony in this as well?  And wouldn't buying an ebook to help me who is suffering from information overload, be the equivalent to the old lady who swallowed the spider, she swallowed the spider to catch the fly.....  I don't know why she swallowed the fly.

Where Have You Been?

Where have you been, someone emailed me.  Why aren't you posting!  Isn't it YOU who makes sarcastic comments about abandoned blogs and now, look at your own newborn blog baby, less than one year old, left for weeks, abandoned.  What kind of Blog-Mama are you?

Okay, my friend shamed me into what I've been meaning to do for a very long time -- get back to posting.  After all a blog entry should be a quick chat -- no polished article.  I've got no excuses.

The guys at HitTail.com sent me a query to ask if I'd had a chance to try out their product.  Wow, nice courtesy follow-up.  It makes me wish I had tried it out.  To be honest, I've gotten away from looking so much as SEO.  I'm really thinking it's NOT my stength.  I think I'm a better writer than an SEO expert and frankly the constant flux of SEO makes me realize it's a time-consuming area to stay on top of.  And when I say SEO, I'm including keyword analysis, identifying niches  etc. 

There are so many aspects to online marketing that it's important to look at what you do and don't do well.  And to find someone competent that you can trust to handle, what you are not so good at.  I know that the first step to making money online is to get traffic to your site and that comes for free if the big search engines like you, but... it's not going to be my current focus.  I've learned enough to get some traffic and if I get the rest down -- good content, products, conversion -- then I'll invest my modest profits in paying a traffic/SEO expert. 

One simply can't do it all.

Okay, next post will answer the question "Where Have You Been?"  not as an excuse, but because it's interesting.... promise it won't be a whole month until you hear!!
