Tim Breaks the Silence: This Internet Stuff Almost Killed Me

There’s no other painful lack in people’s lives than Tim’s desperate need to make money online and get out of $5,300 in debts. A few days ago this guy who’s actually one of my blog readers and subscribers e-mailed me..

“Codrut, this Internet stuff almosted killed me. In the past 2 years I spent hundreds on hype IM products, books, courses and stuff like this, yet made just a few measly sales in return. I worked like a dog every day and my back is in severe pain now. It seems that everything I do, I can’t make money online.

It’s like I’m running in circle.

I’m tired, got $5,300 in debts already and don’t know where to go from here. What do you advise?”

Phew! I get similar stories like this one almost every day in my inbox. I know it’s sad. And the thing is that it’s going to get worse.

This is a pretty dramatic phenomenon and it seems it’s the current trend on the Internet.

If you relate here or not, this advice could be worth thousands for anyone reading this.

First of all, avoid focusing on the problem (getting out of debt) and actually start focusing on the solution.

I propose anyone who’s a beginner on the Internet, learn to make money with AdSense using the free stuff out there (I have some cool AdSense Gold Nuggets for them, would you put your hands on any of them yourself?)

Hint – these adsense gold nuggets combined with an EASY follow-up SYSTEM is what makes me and others enough money on the Internet so that I’m able to live a debt-free life and enjoy things that others can’t.

The best part is that you don’t need a hosting account, but if you want one, I recommend VodaHost as they have a professional site builder that cranks money-making sites for you (it works 5x times much better than Google Page Creator by the way)

Secondly, keep your focus. Know what you want. If you want to make money online, then you have to get out there and do whatever it takes to make it happen.

Struggle, struggle, struggle. Sacrifice where possible, never give up. Persist.

That’s the SECRET, the BIGGEST key to success, online and offline.

In conclusion, avoid focusing on the problem itself. Or it’ll kill you sooner than you might think.

Your debts, the lack of traffic, the lack of ideas, the fear of this IM “techie” stuff (which all the newbies are running from like the plague) is the PROBLEM you need to NOT consider.

Focus on the solution. And today’s solution is tomorrow’s debt-free lifestyle you dream about – AdSense Gold Nuggets.

AdSense Pros and Cons – Part #2

In the first part of AdSense Pros and Cons article I talked about the fact that you can still make great money with AdSense even if other folks think that AdSense is dead already or it’s not worth to continue with it.

Today I continue with the second part of this topic, so while you’re here reading this, you’ll quickly learn at least one crucial element WHY AdSense is your last chance to make money online, plus how to stop listening to “naysayers” and fake EXPERTS and actually start making real money online today.

HINT – you’d want to read both the P.S. and P.P.S. at the end because I reveal sensitive AdSense information guaranteed to open your eyes and turn your site into more profits.

If you’re still in doubt, there are folks making money with AdSense. Some are making a killing, while others are just scratching the surface.

If you think you can make a small fortune online with AdSense alone in a short period of time, you’re nuts.

Just look at Caroline’s recent blog stats. Her top earner is an affiliate product (hosting provider), AdSense is just $32.43 out of total income earned during March 2008 – $2,091.42.

What I’m saying is that even a popular, high-traffic blog like Caroline’s is not making great AdSense money because she’s not actually using the AdSense SECRETS I share in my program. If she applies what I teach, I guarantee she would see her income double, triple and even quadruple within a matter of days, if not hours..

Why AdSense is your last chance to make money online

Now, when I say that, I mean it. Just imagine this – AdSense pays per click because it’s a PPC program. Affiliate programs that are PPS mean they’re paying per sale.

Yes, they’re making more than AdSense, and that means you won’t make more money because it’s harder to promote such programs (to prove my point, I’ve included some more AdSense pros in the P.P.S. at the end).

Compare PPC vs PPS and you’ll quickly realize that’s 10x times much easier to get paid per click vs getting paid per sale because of one simple REASON..

Getting the CLICK is 10x Times
Easier Than Getting the Sale

Before we end this article, I’d like to share with you one more tip.

How to stop listening to “naysayers” and fake EXPERTS and actually start making real money online today.

Apply a simple and important principle – stop listening to these folks and JUST DO IT (I simply love the Nike’s slogan). Start with the first STEP, the second, then move forward.

Cheers,

P.S. There’s no magic button that makes money online, 24/7. There’s just perseverance and sheer determination. When you have these two key aspects you’re on the right path to making it online.

Ok, to be honest here – there’s much more to it than just the two ingredients above, and if you like to get paid for things that you already do, if you want to put more money in your pockets fast, then stay tuned for more similar blog posts.

P.P.S. You can now read a few more AdSense pros.

  • Rosalind says..

“Unlike Joel Comm, I’m not a Google Adsense guru. I’ve never tried to become an Adsense guru, as I’ve always believed that earning a percentage of product sales as an affiliate was preferable to earning a percentage of a click on an Adsense ad. Too, I was worried that sending visitors away from the site through Adsense would decimate my product sales as an affiliate. Lastly, I didn’t want to eat up too much site real estate by displaying a bunch of obvious ads.

Well, my stance has changed completely. During December, my Adsense earnings increased by a whopping 512% over the previous month.“

  • Carl Ocab says..

I Paid 12 Months To Learn These 32 Things..

“4. Always Show BIG Numbers

What do A-listers have in common? (Preferably John Chow, Shoemoney, and Problogger)

They have BIG Numbers to show.

John Chow with his eye cracking monthly earnings, Schoe with his $180k AdSense check and Problogger with an astonishing amount feed readers.”

Learn From an Adsense Millionaire: Notes on Markus Frind and PlentyofFish.com

“Markus Frind is a Canadian entrepreneur who owns PlentyofFish.com, the world’s largest online dating website. According to reports in 2006, he earned around $10,000 a day through Adsense’s contextual advertising program.”

  • Darren at ProBlogger.com says..

So which is best – 300×250 or 336×280?

“One might think that the larger the ad the better it’s earnings will be – I mean having more of your screen real-estate dedicated to an ad increases the chances of it being clicked doesn’t it?As a result many bloggers go for the 336×280 ad.”

AdSense Pros and Cons – Part #1

Everybody talks about AdSense these days. From bloggers to site owners, from small business CEOs to work-at-home mums, you name it. And it seems the no. #1 question on people’s lips is this one:

Could you still make money with AdSense, isn’t it dead already?

Yes, you can still make money with AdSense, and now it’s time to make even more than before because the Internet is heading in such a direction that it allows the little guy to make a small fortune online without paying for any advertising.

To be honest with you, let me confess something myself:

*** there are a ton of materials about AdSense already, so what makes this blog post different?

1. Everybody is making income claims showcasing their “BIG” AdSense earnings on their sites (or blogs). I’m earning money as an underground person, I hate boasting about my online success, that’s why you won’t see me showing any AdSense “earnings” snapshots.

That’s not me. And if you think about it, my success doesn’t guarantee your results, period.

2. I speak from personal experience, not from other articles or books I’ve been reading in the past about “Google AdSense”. So you know that I hold no secrets and tell it like it is.

Here’s the first part of this article – “AdSense Pros and Cons”

Whether you believe it or not, AdSense is still the easiest money-making method for the newbie marketer.

If you’re brand new on the Internet, you won’t find an easier and faster way to make money online, period.

The con of this is that while you can make thousands each and every month on almost total autopilot, it won’t happen overnight. And while you can make this money by paying for advertising, you won’t be able to stop paying for ads unless you’re using an autoresponder SYSTEM for your business.

Maybe you’re hearing me or other IM experts telling you that it’s doable to make money online while you’re sleeping or offline (on autopilot).

Let me dig deeper into this topic as I’m sure you’ve NEVER heard this before, or if you heard it already, then it’s time open your eyes..

There’s NO such thing as a total autopilot business. Pick a marketer or show me someone claiming he’s making online money on total autopilot, and I’ll call him a liar.

Nobody in this world can make money online on autopilot unless he has a team that works for him, or he outsources his tasks to other people. He still has to manage his team or get his manager to do that on his behalf.

Do you know what’s the BEST part about this AdSense business?

Once you make your first dollar, you’re one step closer to making the next one, etc.

Once you make $100-$200, then you should consider to outsource the SYSTEM you’ve been using yourself so that you make 3, 5 and even 10 times more money (on autopilot).

The great news is that you can invest in “outsourcing” or pay a friend to use the SYSTEM you’re currently using so that it can make a lot more money for you.

Stay tuned for the next part of this article.

How to Turn a Bad Day into a Wonderful Day – Always!

Marketers are humans, just like you and me. And if you’re reading this then it means you want to learn how to turn any day into a wonderful day because I’ll show you how in the next 2 minutes.

One thing is for sure – if you’re trying to make money online you’ve been hit by now with daily frustration, and probably wanted to quit this Internet thing more than I did back in 1999 (between us, if I’ve quited back then, I’d have given up to a lurcrative business which brought in thousands of dollars in profits)

I write this post because I’m frustrated and anxious; yes, I had a bad day. It’s my bhiroytm who showed me this..

  • it says that my mind is confused and unfocused, my body is restless and what’s even more amazing is that it knows how deeply pessimistic and sad I feel like..

Now, the great news is that my inner functions and reflexes are sharp and precise.

Hope good things are going to happen in the next days.

If you want to calculate your bhiroytm then go ahead. I have no clue if other marketers know about this free resource, it’s worth to check it out and play with it, at least for fun.

Quick question – do you know what marketers do when Anxiety and Frustration kicks in?

Do you know how to turn a bad day into a wonderful day, and do it over and over again?

I don’t know about you, or other marketers, but I enjoy relaxing while writing these blog postings.

And between us, I love reading cool blogs that make me laugh or simply share some nice business ideas and practical stuff that I can implement right away on in my eBiz..

Such a blog is Melanie Benson’s Million Dollar Lifestyle Blog which I just discovered yesterday – it gave me a ton of great ideas on how to improve my life and business in general, and how to build a virtual TEAM (using outsourcing and outtasking) in particular.

That’s a TOPIC which interests me currently because I’d love to take my eBiz to the next level since I’m in the phase where I want to multiply myself, and a VIRTUAL team is what I need and eagerly want to build.

Whether you’re using the bhiroytm or read cool blogs when you’re sad, send any comments or questions you might have about today’s post. I’m waiting for them all :)
