$7500 i wish.
I'll say I get under $10 net per book sale.

"$7500 i wish.

Still, if you sell enough books, this adds up. I have heard of some self-published writers making serious dough off ebooks b/c they have so many titles available.

Would you guys say it is more worthwhile to develop your ideas and writing skills as opposed to being on the technical domain?

I see great ideas all around, but the execution fails because of the crappy writing. Not ingratiating myself but Roosh is a really great writer. His business is his writing, that's his product.

Who can write as good as Roosh? A lot of people can be excellent lifestyle artists or PUAs and have great ideas but have bad writing. I can't outsource quality writing to the Philippines/India!

So I've thinking that writing skills do create a considerable barrier of entry, and a skill worth developing more than the technical side.

Ideas!

It is always ideas. You can pay some monkey to do the technical stuff.

The guy with vision is always the key.

OP,if you're serious about online moneymaking do what I did. 3 years ago I was personally trained by a futures trader. The first year I made like 30% ie ,I made all the beginners mistakes,winning and losing a lot. The 2nd year as a better trader I noticed fewer trades but better margins. Now I'm still shorting the dollar without breaking a sweat.
Of course things don't always go according to plan. This past 2 weeks I only made 10% ,a record low because I generally avoid gold;too volatile and the money markets have generally caught me sideways.
It happens occasionally-at the same time I've made up to 400% in one week in August last year.Take it from me fx trading is for real-BUT PAY A REAL TRAINER OR ENROLL IN A COURSE! DON'T FALL FOR THE INTERNET HYPE!

To make successful internet business you have to find the BEST keyword for your website.

-Here is criteria for the best keyword to target-
1. Relevance with your website - Your keyword has relevancy with your website content
2. High Traffic - Many people searching your keyword on google
3. Low Competition - You can easily rank on the 1st page of google
4. Commerciality - Amount of money you earn per click with adsense (The bigger, The better)
5. Passion - ( i.e my hobby is playing guitar so I will consider to find keyword related to music)

You can use free tool such as Google Keyword Tool to find the best keyword for you.
After you find it you can playaround with keyword in your blog.

-How to playaround with your keyword-
A. Put your keyword in your domain name
B. Make article related to your keyword
C. SEO Stuff and blah blah blah

When you type your keyword on google and your site appears at the first page of google search result, you can run monetizing strategy into your blog and make money with your blog. There are a ton of monetizing strategy out there that you can learn.

If you want to learn more about Internet business, I recommend you to learn from Patt Flynn blog. Just type that name on your google and learn all his technique to make successful internet business.

PS: This is free keyword for you. make a blog with keyword " Porn Companies ". it has big commerciality value. Adsense value for that keyword is $18 - $19 per click, you can imagine if you have 200 visitor each day and 5% of your visitor will click your ad then you will get $180 passive income each day. Why I don't take this keyword because I just don't want to make porn site.

Good Luck!

Quite informative.....
also you can have another form of online business model named

6. Subscription Site/ Pay per site

Here you can charge certain amount of fees on visitors of you site and also can offer them any kind of subscription of your product. Such as songs, video etc... First of all for that you have to offer them any demo or basic information of your product or content for free of cost as a promotion.

I still have doubts on financial trading online. I assume traders who survive are obsessed with it. I bet their brain circuitry had already rewired itself to spot opportunities through sheer amount of time they spend on it. This is their world of war craft.

I'm guessing a minimum of 3 years of hardcore study of the markets. Then 7 years to start making consistent profits. No guarantees.

Way too much time/energy. Even at your peak mental capacity, you might find that you are simply not cut out for it. I am far down the intellectual ladder from guys like George Soros.

Why not just build your site? And why are they selling theirs?

I clicked on a for-sale site (onlineflirting.net) and here's what the ad states:

The entire SEO process is:
1. 5-10 social bookmarks per day
2. 10 profile backlinks/day
3. 1-5 articles/day for backlinks
4. 1-5 videos submitted per website for backlinks
5. 1-5 press releases/day for backlinks
4. 5-10 blog comments for backlinks

Most of backlinks will target the keyword in the domain name.
Also the new owner we'll receive weekly rapports about the SEO done!
What is the potential?
Within 90 days, with all the SEO done, you will receive 500-700 unique visitors/day on all of the blogs wich will produce a minimum income of $3.3/day/blog = $1,000/month from Adsense.
You will also generate money from Clickbank affiliate products, paydotcom affiliate products, infolink, amazon store..and you will build a huge list to market.
All of the 10 Autoblogs have unlimited potential..traffic will come automatically to them..and you will receive adsense checks and affiliate commissions every month from now!
This is a 100% Guarantee Investment..you can earn money from tomorrow!

I don't know what to make of it. It seems like it will 1) churn traffic 2) GThen I collect 1k a month?

What's the catch?

I hear ya! I'm developing my ideas.

My problem is screening and analyzing ideas. I have so many ideas that I bomb myself with them. I try to research my ideas, but I often end up with analysis-paralysis.

Thing is, eventually, I have to leave my security for an idea. I really need that idea to be a good idea.

[maestrobaires]

get at least decent understanding of design, development and SEO

the other way is to have a certain skill and offer your services by the internet

[Gringo]

I've been making money online from gambling and sports betting for a while but it's not a sustainable long term earner. Someones just put me on to a new idea that appears to generate a lot of income, I wont go into the details yet but if it works out I'll be sure to share the knowledge.

"Someones just put me on to a new idea that appears to generate a lot of income"

If you got something good and need some start up capital, shoot me an email.

I am on the lookout for some good ideas.

[Gringo]

I have to do some more research and testing first before I can figure out is this is as profitable as I'm being told. Thanks for the offer I will let you know how it goes.

[Moma]

I am a good writer myself (I think y'all can attest). I have been writing some private erotica for a while and I am wondering if I can make money off of it. However, it is influenced by the perverted British nature (what can I say, environments rub off on me) and a few of my female friends that claimed to be freaks who I let test read it, drew the line at the simian involvement...

Cut a long story short, I need to make it a bit more socially acceptable and maybe I can get a fanbase of those desperate housewives.

To cash in on the beta-viruses that are spreading through North America, I think I'll write something with a heavy cuckolding theme and see how that fares?

Your opinions, gents?

truedat,

"His Process (I hope you dont mind G)"

I don't mind at all. But I will clarify some things.

First off, and I should make this crystal clear to everyone: I don't write The G Manifesto to make money. I do it because I enjoy writing and its an artistic release for me (which is a greater value for me than money) and if it makes the world a better place, then all the better.

Sure it makes a little dough, but if I divided the time by the amount of money, I would probably be better off working in a Vietnamese textile factory.

My income does not come from The G Manifesto (it always makes me laugh when people think this). The G Manifesto would not cover my annual cigarette bill (but then again my annual cigarette bill is probably 40k).

"He sends traffic to HIS website by having interesting things to contribute here and I am sure on other forums"

I only contribute to this forum. The only website I post comments regularly on is Roosh's. (I used to post on Roissy more consistently two years ago).

Again, if I really wanted to make money with this and really drive traffic, I wouldn't just post on a relatively small and obscure forum like this one (no diss intended, as this is my favorite forum).

That all being said, I have had NY Times mentions and been contacted by an Oscar Nominated producer to get me to write a screenplay. But who cares right? Certainly not me.

"He has his own E-book you can purchase from him on his site that is almost 100% profit"

Partially true. It's not my e-book. I just gave an interview.

Feel free to hit me up with more questions.

NY times? Can you give us a link to these props they gave you? What is your back ground?

[maestrobaires]

he is the last person to act like a small time get-rich-quick online marketer. if anyone thinks the G manifesto, a tiny ebook and posting on a small (but cool) forum can make enough money for the lifestyle our friend G has, they need a reality check
