Damn!

This new blog is putting my old one, and all blogs I’ve ever run to shame. Lol.

I’ve run this blog (TUK) for slightly more than a year now, and put in hours and hours of work into it - you can see the amount of people that have subscribed to read updates on the top right - around 1,130.

I launch Make Money Dynamo with a friend three days ago… current amount of subscribers, 1,273!

If I knew it was this easy one year ago, I would have been a millionaire by now. No joke.

1,200+ subscribers mainly because of one free report that took me less than a couple hours to write… that’s something. And it’s something that any of you could duplicate.

Yes, I’m working with a partner on this one, but collectively we haven’t done that much work. Around a couple hours (not including me writing the report) each. Compare that to one year of me working on this blog, and you’ll see that I’m going pretty wrong.

There are only three main ways that the site has been promoted till now.

1. This blog. However, I don’t think this blog brought in that many subscribers - only a couple hundred maybe. The reason for this is that in the past, I’ve mentioned other projects on this blog and they haven’t really converted, and the blog sent around 400 uniques to the new website.

2. Other blogs. We did a few blog comments between us and were mentioned on Grizz’s make money online blog (which has 2,000+ subscribers and sent decent traffic) and JR’s internet marketing blog.

3. A WARRIOR SPECIAL OFFER. I wrote a post a few days ago about how anyone could make money there… it looks like anyone can build a list there too. Just focus on offering something of value.

It’s sent the bulk of the subscribers and cost me $20. $20 for promoting that will last me quite a long time.

You’ve seen what can be done if you’re willing to work smart (NOT hard). Now go and duplicate it.

The great thing for you guys is that because there are so many people looking at what’s already on the new blog, we have to keep up levels of quality. Put out crap and people will leave in droves. However, I’m quite sure that we can stick to offering what we intended to.

I asked these questions yesterday, and I thank all those that have gotten back to me… but I’d love to hear more thoughts, suggestions, requests.

What topics do you want to be covered on Make Money Dynamo?

Who already making money out there would you like to see interviewed?

The answers to both will shape how it runs over the next few months.

Again, if you like the stuff, throw us a link, tell a friend, we don’t bite. You can see the landing page that’s converting pretty awesomely well here.

Lastly… I ran a mini contest a few days ago but completely forgot about it. Oops.

The contest was for two free custom eCover designs, chosen at random.

1. Tom @ Stand Out Blogger

2. Mirjam @ MeMyselfAndI Blog

I’ll contact both of you sometime tomorrow with more details using the email address you commented with. Thanks for sticking around all!

A few of you know that I launched Make Money Dynamo with a partner a couple days ago - I promised it would be the premier FREE resource out there on how to make money using the internet. I even provided you guys with a 19+ page report I created just for subscribing.

First off, check out a couple of posts already on the site…

1. Make Money With Email / Zip Submits (written by Casey)

2. Joint Venture Online To Make Money Offline

I covered the second idea a little bit when I was running Da Blogger but have gone more in depth… it will hopefully blow your mind. It’s a simple way to make a lot of money with little work on your part.

Please leave comments there if you like the posts, we’d love to hear feedback.

Secondly… I want my promise to hold true and this to become the best site you can go to for solid information. I have a few people that already provide kick ass content which will be difficult to displace (like Grizz for instance ), but aiming to be the best resource is my goal.

It can’t be the best resource unless YOU help me though… you see, the content is geared at the user, and thus the user has to tell me what s/he wants.

What topics do you want to be covered on Make Money Dynamo?

Who already making money out there would you like to see interviewed?

(I plan to interview those currently doing it and nag them to share exclusive tips with you ).

What improvements, if any would you like to see made to the blog?

Let me know. Also, I’m continually going to repeat this, but if you like the stuff there, throw us a link, tell a friend, promote us etc. I’d love it!

Now… here’s how to launch in style.

A large part of how a blog is measured (popularity) is subscribers. For new blogs at least, traffic can be difficult to determine unless it’s mentioned publicly, but subscribers is an easy to see figure.

Some blogs don’t get 100 subscribers after even a year of blogging… in fact, I’d wager that more than 95% of blogs currently out there haven’t hit that.

Put two marketers together that can create a buzz though, and you’ll get subscribers. Just how many?

Two days ago, Make Money Dynamo had 1 subscriber. That was me, as no one else really knew about it.

Today… the figure is shown below.

560 subscribers in TWO days!

Had I entered Blogging Idol and taken it seriously, that would have put me at round about third place. Ah well

Just showing you guys that if you work smart (not hard!) and do it right, provide a resource to people that helps them and you WILL reap the rewards for it.

I haven’t made a dime off the site yet, but I’m not looking at it to bring me income, at least for the first month or two. If it does, great; if it doesn’t… I have the other stuff I’m working on.

With a continued rate of growth, MMD should surpass this blog quite comfortably by the time the month is over. It would have grown even further had Aweber not gone down for a long time today.

Anyways, just wanted to let you guys know what could be done and ask for some help. Let me know - as they said, help me to help you.

It’s been a good couple of days.

A lot of you know that I make money mainly through website flips, with a few other various things. However, when most of you have asked for examples of websites I’ve sold, I haven’t disclosed them.

Why? Simply because it’s not good disclosing to 1,000+ people exactly how you make your money. To be honest, for most of my websites I use the same formula… one that’s worked well.

This time however, I created a website with the sole idea of showing you guys what can be achieved if you’re willing to work for it… and now I disclose EVERYTHING.

I’m sure you’re tired of paying for products, so in this case it’ll be free.

Introducing Make Money Dynamo…

This (TUK) blog isn’t technically a make money online blog, but a lot of the information I’ve covered here, especially in the past couple of months is related to making money online, as that’s what people have wanted.

To be honest I’m tired of doing that here… I started this as an entrepreneur blog and would prefer to keep it that way. I’ll still share tips and techniques, but will look more broader than the standard “Make Money With X”.

However, people still need their fix… of FREE information that will help them earn a few dollars online. Which is why I’m JVing on a partner on this project, which will be a blog called Make Money Dynamo

The cost of this information? Well, it normally retails for about fifteen billion dollars, but ONLY for the next forever we’re releasing the information to you guys free. It’s all I can do to help people that have stuck with me for so long.

The posts on the blog will come maybe once a week, maybe a little more or little less than that, but I’m guaranteeing that almost each and every one of them will have something that you can use to increase your income. The blog was created between me and a friend, who contacted me during the JV With Me period… with a slightly different idea.

Anyways, I like launching in style, and not waiting… so I worked a bit today morning, detailing the exact steps I took in The Product Flip to amass $5,300 in revenue ($5,030 in net profit). And I almost didn’t create the site!

You’ll get the report immediately after you subscribe and you can sink your teeth into it. It’s a high quality report that could have been sold, and I hope you like it. If you don’t, I’ll refund the $0.00 you paid for it.

Screenshots of revenue are shown on the page.

Discover How I Made $5,030 Profit On The Product Flip

There’s also a post already up on the website talking about the email / zip submit method. It’s solid content.

Lastly, I want to know what specific ways to make money online you guys want to see detailed, step by step guides written FREE for. So leave me a comment and we’ll look into putting some out.

I promised a few weeks ago that I would walk you guys through ‘the product flip’

What is the product flip? It’s basically where you create a product, drive traffic and make sales for it, and then flip the product at the end of this. You can make an easy $300+ at the very least for a relatively small amount of work.

This works awesomely well in the internet marketing niche, as of course things can be promoted a lot quicker in the IM niche than any other, however you can use this for almost any niche you want.

What should my product be about?

You want a product that talks about something people are interested in learning more about. In the IM niche, this is anything related to making money… driving traffic… blogging… social marketing - you get the idea. In other niches, this would be hot topics like how to lose weight, how to get your pet to behave, how to quit smoking etc.

Personally, I know a lot about the IM niche so I write my own products for it (when they’re sold under my name) but in other niches I like to outsource and get someone else to do the research. Although you want to make money, you should make sure your product is of high quality and will help people - this will lead to far more sales in the long run.

How do I create my product?

There’s one thing, and one thing only I use for all of my products - Open Office. It’s a free tool, and since I found out about it I stopped using Microsoft Word completely. What Open Office does is it has an option to easily convert your file to PDF, and there are also quite a few decent free templates available if you want to soup things up. EZ eBook Templates is just one site that has around 15~ free, all of which are high quality.

You want your product (at least your first one) to be short and sweet. A rough number to value a product I use is a dollar a page, so if your product is 10 pages you charge $10 and so on, although you’ll probably want to decrease this at the beginning (like I’ve done for Flip Noobs).An introduction, a step by step break down of whatever you’re talking about and a conclusion. Try to put as little fluff as possible (people hate fluff!) and space it out / use large fonts so that your eBook is easy to read.

Make sure to use images whenever possible - don’t just put some in for the sake of it but if you’re explaining certain concepts images can make people understand things a lot easier, especially if your product is aimed at newbies.

I’ve already done the promoting for this specific product (Flip Noobs, which is public) so I will cover this in a few days; however the above is basic information on how to create your product.

This product will also be listed (full rights) sometime over the next few days. I was planning to hold onto it, but I have exams coming up in a couple weeks and then will be out for most of January… to be honest, two months without working on promoting this and it’s likely it will be worthless. If you’re interested in purchasing full rights contact me; if you want to get in at the discounted price, you can purchase through the sales page.

There are also a few people in the joint venture project with me that I need to get kick started, so I’m going to clear a few of my other projects and spend more time working with them. I’ll be talking on here about some traffic / value adding strategies that I’m going to teach them to use, as well as hopefully reveal a couple sites from those that have already started seeing some traffic / revenue trickle in. Stay tuned

As I haven’t run a contest of sorts on here for some time, and this thread is about product creation, here’s an offer you can’t miss…

I’ll give away two FREE custom eCover designs to random commenters on this post. My only requirement is that you be subscribed to this blog.

Just subscribe, comment using the email you subscribed with and I’ll pick two random people for a custom, high quality eCover design from a top notch designer. This mini-contest will end on the 1st of December.

Christmas is coming up, so here’s a way you can make yourself some holiday cash.

Most of you will know about the website flipping guide that I launched a couple of weeks ago… it’s going strong, and it should surpass the 100 sales mark today or tomorrow. People have been pretty astounded with it as it’s (in my personal, honest opinion of course) crazy value for money and with the bonus is a must buy for anyone that’s getting into site flipping.

Anyways, I’m not going to sell you on this any more, don’t worry :razz:; I am however going to help you make money promote it. I have not put up an official affiliates page on the site, so at the moment this is the ONLY place where you can sign up for the affiliate program.

The report currently sells for around $15, so you will net $7.5 on every sale. Not the biggest amount, but this is one the easiest sells you’ll ever have. Making 5+ sales a day is not difficult, and that’s an extra $1,125 per month if you manage to keep it up. It’s a 40+ page report with a custom bonus that is worth the price alone.

You can sign up for the affiliate program through this link. You’ll need a free account at E-Junkie, but once signed up you’ll be able to see your statistics etc.

I want this post to be useful for even those that are not interested in promoting this specific product, so you can use the information below for almost any product out there.

I recommend setting up a cloaked affiliate link to promote this. You can do this through your own website by setting up a php file (for example, flipnoobs.php) and entering the below code into it:

<html>
<head>
<title>Make Money Flipping Websites</title>
<meta name=“robots” content=“noindex,nofollow”>
<script>window.location=”http://www.youraffiliatelink.com”;</script>
<meta http-equiv=“refresh” content=“1; url=http://www.youraffiliatelink.com“>
</head>
<body>
<p align=“center”>You are being taken to the correct page.
<br>If the page doesn’t load after 5 seconds,
<a href=“http://www.youraffiliatelink.com“>click here</a>.</p>
</body>
</html>

Once that’s done, you can start promoting. Here’s a few ideas…

1. Leave blog comments on every single decent traffic blog you visit over the next few days. Use your cloaked affiliate link as your URL, and aim to be the first comment (more eyeballs!) by using a tool like Comment Sniper. If your comments are of high quality (or controversial ) people will click through. Remember that you can outsource this.

2. Write a post on your own blog, no matter how big or small it is. Review the product, talk about why people should buy it, the benefits of it et cetera. If you have 200+ subscribers you qualify for a free copy, so send me an email. If you review it on your own blog and write the review well enough, you’ll see sales.

3. Write articles. At the moment this product isn’t so widely promoted that people are searching for the product name itself (if they were though, you could write articles based on that), however you can target terms like website flipping, make money flipping websites, how to sell websites etc. You could also setup a Squidoo Lens, Hubpages, a Facebook account to promote… entirely up to you.

4. Put your cloaked affiliate link in your forum signature and post high quality stuff for a couple days. Clicks ==> sales. The sales page is converting pretty well (probably because I didn’t write it ).

5. Create a short, free report to give away… 4-5 pages long, maybe talk about something about website flipping or even presell your report readers (”Why you should start website flipping” etc). At the end, recommend this product through your cloaked affiliate link. You could also use your free report to build a list.

6. Pay per click. Again, website flipping terms or even make money online terms, although your profit margin would decrease as MMO terms cost a bit. This is not recommended for newbies - only do this if you are experienced.

7. Advertise in ezines with your cloaked affiliate link. Or buy advertising banners on blogs.

8. Order a paid blog review but ask the blog writer to use your affiliate link instead of direct linking.

Eight ways that you can promote this… if you’re creative, there are plenty more. You can use any of the content from the sales page, including the header / eCover / order button.

Feel free to let me know if you need any help via instant messenger or ask in the comments. If you’re good at affiliate marketing, you may want to help people out below

Payments will be made every couple of weeks, quicker if you do 10+ sales. Good luck!
