We have all felt the pressures of the down economy. It always seems as if we could use that extra $100 to just survive until we get to the next month. Some of us have jobs or school that are starting up in a month or two, but we just need to keep ourselves afloat until we get merged into our new gig. That is where this article comes in! I will show you 7 guaranteed ways to make $500 or more in 30 days. This isn’t making $500 and having to wait a month or two to actually get it like some affiliate sales networks do. That is BS. This is cold hard cash in your hands on or before 30 days from now!
I got the concept for this post from Chris Guillebeau’s blog when he posted the following question:
Let’s say you were short on cash and had to make an extra $300-500 in the next 30 days. You can’t rob a bank (or do anything else illegal), and you have no access to an existing email list or website. What do you do?
So my rules are going to be simple:
- Have to make at least $300-500 in 30 days
- Has to be legal
- Can’t use an existing website or email list
First of all, I want to elaborate on where your mindset should be for this task. Money is a form of wealth. Wealth can be created out of thin air or exchanged for other things of value. So to make money, we are either going to A) create something by exchanging our time for adding value to someone’s life or B) leverage our skills and talents to obtain the most money as possible. A lot of the money making methods I’m going to go over aren’t going to be cost efficient, but that isn’t the purpose of this post. The purpose of this post is to create value for others, leverage our current talents, and make sure that our wealth is highly liquid (aka having cold hard cash in your hands in 30 days because lets face it…. the landlord doesn’t care how much money is in your Adsense account).
Making Money Fast Method 1 – Gambling
Let me be straightforward and tell you I am partial to this method as this is something I have researched and actually done before. Between Christmas 2008 and February 1, 2009 I managed to go from playing play money to having $1,000 in my bank account! Don’t get me wrong, it took a lot of work (and that is an understatement), but if you are dedicated to making money, you can do it!
How I did it was I signed up to PokerStars and played their free money play chip games. When I got to 1,000,000 play chips, I sold the chips on eBay for $10 (don’t ask me why someone would by fake chips with real money lol). I then played the $.01/$.02 games for a while until I had 2,000 big blinds for the next level which was $.02/$.05, $.05/$.10, and so on. The reason why this worked for me is because I was a focused and dedicated student to the game. I had no money so I went down to my local library and rented a couple of books on poker theory. If asked if I would ever do it again, I would say no, but given where I was in my life and where I wanted to be, this was 100% the best thing I could have done given my skill set and dedication to learn. I love playing poker as a hobby and am happy that my hobby can and has paid for my living expenses over the past 2 years.
Just so you guys know, since April 2011, all the major poker sites have fled the USA and don’t seem to be coming back anytime soon. The poker room I play at currently and would recommend for anyone willing to try this method is Minted Poker. If you sign up under this link, I will help you to get a 100% deposit bonus (which could make you all your money in of itself) plus rake back which for me adds up to several hundred dollars per week. If you are willing to put in the work, you can definitely make a lot of money, even as a newer poker player!
Money to be made: Lots of money!
Difficulty: Fairly hard. Takes some dedication, effort, and ability to learn
Would I recommend it?: Yes, but not to everyone. If you are smart and willing to spend hours of your time playing a fun game, you can do it. If you don’t like playing games, this isn’t for you.

Making Money Fast Method 2 – Create an Information Product
For me, this is a really boring way to make money, but it is a proven system that works for hundreds of people every day! My friend Vinay Patankar of the Abstract Living Blog created an information product for his new website called Free Traffic Wiz. He is passionate about internet marketing and ranking his websites high in Google. He had nothing to start with, but he ended up writing his ebook and launching it. He ended up making good money because he contacted many people with large email lists and sent out a joint venture request with the list owners. I won’t tell you how much he makes off his info products, but I’ll just say it is past what our goal is!
I urge you guys NOT to write about internet marketing unless this is really your “thing” and you know what you are doing. It is a really saturated niche and is very hard to come up with a valuable information product that no one has ever seen before. If you are into fly fishing or dog grooming or whatever, write out a how-to-guide about that. When you are finished, create a quick landing page and pitch your product to people in your niche who have email lists. Once you have partnered up with one of these list owners, they will pitch your information product to hundreds or thousands of their subscribers and you get a ton of money flooding in! The catch is the person with the email list gets a decent chunk of the commissions for pitching your product. It isn’t bad though considering you started with nothing!
Another person who I highly admire is Pat Flynn of Smart Passive Income. He is famous in the internet marketing world because he got laid off from his architecture job and within a month, he was sustaining his lifestyle through passive income. He did a similar approach to the one outlined above. He created an ebook about the architectural exam and ranked it #1 in Google. As you can see, he made $7,126.91 his first month with his ebook alone! This was back in 2008 and every month since then, he has been banking in huge sums of money every month. I’ve been following him for a while and since I’ve been following him, he has consistently had 5 digits of passive income every month. Pretty nuts if you ask me!
Money to be made: Medium to lots of money
Difficulty: Easy work, but takes a while to write. If you are passionate about the subject, it shouldn’t be too hard to find motivation to write
Would I recommend it?: Yes! All you need is a computer and a good command of the language you are releasing your information product in

Making Money Fast Method 3 – Creating a Fiverr.com Gig
If you haven’t been under a rock the last few years, you have probably heard of Fiverr. The concept of Fiverr is to have a place where people are willing to perform a service or give a product for exactly $5. Some of these “gigs” range from creating 40 backlinks to your website for $5 all the way to making an emotional rant about anything for $5. Seriously! I can’t make this stuff up!
What you need to do is think of something you think people would want for $5 that you can do. That could be data entry, writing articles, doing math homework, singing someone happy birthday, drawing someone’s portrait, or anything else you are good at! Just go to Fiverr.com and post your new Gig. Usually you will get some people coming to your gig right off the bat, but most of the time you will have to promote your gig to get up to our $300-$500 goal. If I am drawing people’s portrait for example, I would advertise my service on art websites or I might be creative and go to blogging forums where I can advertise a fun portrait that someone could use for their site. The possibilities are endless! You just need to be creative and know what you can give to other people to provide value.
An example is one of my good friend, Amar. Amar is really good at internet marketing so he offered an hour of website consultation for $5 then pitched them more hours for more money after their first session. His customers got the benefit of a really good service for a really cheap price and in the end, Amar got tons of clients paying him a much higher price for weekly consultations. Just think about your skills and talents and put them to good use! $5 doesn’t sound like much, but after a month, they really add up!
Another site that has a similar concept is Mturk by Amazon.com. Mturk allows people to complete micro-projects. These micro-projects pay out a few pennies here and there but usually take a few seconds to complete so you can make decent money hourly for your work. It isn’t an optimal way of making money online, but it definitely works and is a good time filler between your Fiverr gigs.
Money to be made: Low to moderate amounts of money
Difficulty: Easy work
Would I recommend it?: Yes! It is really easy and anyone can do it!
Making Money Fast Method 4 – Freelance Work
This is probably one of the best jobs you can find online especially if you are a programmer or author. For this method, you are going to be trading your skilled time for lots of money! The good news is there are a ton of sites where you can do freelance work, but the bad news is you will be up against a ton of competition.
Site’s Where You Can Offer Your Service
- Freelancer.com – This is my favorite site for just about any sort of freelance work. You can work on websites, do programming, write articles, do backlinking campaigns, do data entry projects, and just about anything else! This is my number one recommendation if you want the most amount of general work available in one month. Be sure to consider taking Freelancer’s exams which make you look more reputable to your potential clients.
- Elance.com – Pretty much the same as Freelancer.com, but I prefer it slightly less. To date they boast that they have done over $414 million dollars worth of freelance transactions. You should obviously be following the money!
- oDesk - One of the biggest outsourcing and freelance sites on the internet. I haven’t used it before, but it has been recommended by a few friends.
- Associated Content – AC is one of my favorite article sites. They are a very trustworthy site that recently was acquired by Yahoo. You can write about almost anything and if you are in a writers block, they give you ideas. At the time of me writing this, they pay between $3-15 per article you write.
- Contently - This is a new higher end article site. I have yet to try them out, but if you apply to their program and get approved, you get paid $5 per article. That means 100 articles in a month (or 3.3 articles per day) gets you to our $5o0 goal!
- Rent-a-Coder – This is the number one site if you are a programmer. I’m not a programmer so I have never done any work here, but the reputation of this site is really good. If you are a programmer, get signed up and start work today!
There are many other article sites, but they are either less trustworthy, pay less, or don’t pay out instantly. If you are going to do this method you need to be sure that you are very good with the English language, write good quality content, and are capable of cranking out 100 articles for the month. Not everyone is good at writing a ton of content so stick with your strengths and find something you can do for good money!
Money to be made: Lots of money!
Difficulty: Easy to very difficult skilled work. Depends on the freelance work you take on.
Would I recommend it?: Yes! If you have skills at something, you can make a ton of money! Even if you don’t have any specialized skill, you can do more data entry work and still get to your goal (it will just obviously take longer)
Resource Links: Freelancer.com, Elance.com, Associated Content, Contently, Rent-a-Coder
Making Money Fast Method 5 – Getting a Part Time Job
No, seriously! There is nothing wrong with working crummy jobs to get by. It is important that you keep yourself afloat while shooting for your higher goals. For example, I worked at McDonald’s while growing my poker bankroll. When I had my first $10,000 month, I quit McDonald’s. There is no shame in what I did and I am happy that I kept myself afloat instead of spiraling down the debt pit that many people fall into.
Sites With Part Time Job Listings
- Craigslist – This is the big one. Many people looking to employ part time workers post their ads on Craigslist. You will always find something on there
- Indeed – I’ve used this site in the past and I really loved it! There are tons of jobs and if you have a smart phone, you can find jobs on the go!
- Local Job Boards – You can usually find these around city employment offices or inside of your college campuses.
Just keep your eye out and be open to try things. You can even go door to door asking people if they need their lawn mowed or their pet walked. If you are that desperate for $500, you should be willing to put in the hard work of not only doing the job, but finding it as well. There is no shame in getting a job no matter how low you may think it is. It is much better looking socially than standing in an unemployment line and much more personally rewarding since you are empowering yourself. Get out there and make some moolah!
Money to be made: As much as you can find work
Difficulty: Easy but usually boring
Would I recommend it?: If you have no other options and want something guaranteed, this is the way to go. It won’t be fun and it isn’t scalable, but it works.

Making Money Fast Method 6 – Selling Your Body (Legally)
We live in an advanced society where medicine can save and improve lives. Unfortunately many medical clinics and organizations can’t produce human blood, sperm, eggs, marrow or platelets so they have to get them from donors. That is where we come in! These things are in such high demand, but there are very little people who actually sell their body. Economically, this is a perfect way for you to make tons of money since there is low supply and high demand!
What You Can Sell Legally
- Whole Blood – This is the most needed donation the medical world needs yet very few actually donate blood. The American Red Cross takes blood donations, but since there is a shortage, you can sell your whole blood to other organizations.
- Platelets – You can only sell platelets twice a month, but you should get around $50 or so for this. You get initially screened then you go through a two hour process of them actually collecting your platelets.
- Plasma – There are TONS of places that collect plasma. You will earn around $35 per visit and you can sell your plasma once every 2 days. It has a similar screening and procedure as platelets because they are both extracted from the blood.
- Hair – Believe it or not, you can earn your whole $300-500 in one whack by selling your hair. Many people need wigs so you will need really long hair to be cut and sold. This is my favorite as it is painless.
- Being a Lab Rat – Many chemical and drug companies offer compensation for performing in clinical trials or being in studys. This does pose some risk as these are untested products, but you get rewarded well for your contributions. Check out local classifieds or you can usually find jobs by going to a college’s psychology department.
- Sperm – Yeah, I knew you were thinking it. You can get paid $50-200 a whack (excuse the pun) for your sperm. Don’t get too excited just yet. Sperm banks are very strict on who can sell their sperm. They go through medical exams and look into your family history for disease and illnesses. Most people don’t get approved, but it is worth a shot.
- Eggs – Men have it easy. Donating sperm is enjoyable and profitable. Women, not so much. You have to undergo a major operation for your eggs, but the good news is you get paid $4,000 to $20,000 per egg. Heck, forget the $500 goal. You will smash it if you just donate one egg!
As you can see, there is lots of money to be made in selling your body! The biggest thing is that you need to be in really good health. If you are healthy and take care of yourself, you can make several hundred dollars per week just selling your body. It is fast, easy, and pays really good!
Money to be made: Really good, but most clinics only allow you to sell yourself once every few days.
Difficulty: Hard to pass the screenings, but easy to do once you are approved.
Would I recommend it?: If you can stand some pain and want to help people, you can make a truck load of money. I highly recommend this as it is both helping people and profitable!

Making Money Fast Method 7 – Bitcoin Mining
I debated adding this in here, but figured I should include it so we can have a complete guide to making money fast. The concept of bitcoins is a little complicated to explain, but basically it is the digital backing of money just as gold used to back the American Dollar. You don’t have to know about monetary theory or the bitcoin markets, but what you need to know is that people pay a whole lot of money in exchange for these bitcoins.
In a central bank, the bank can print money whenever it wants. Bitcoins increase the monetary supplies by having tons of computer work on complicated computer formulas. What this all means is that you can leave your computer on and at the end of the day you will have bitcoins in your digital account. You then sell them on the bit coin market and get real money!
Bitcoin mining requires either your processor or graphics card(s) or both to run full blast for hours to solve these equations. You are essentially exchanging electricity and hardware for real money. This is an ideal strategy for people who get free electricity, such as students in a dorm.
Bitcoin mining is too complex to explain in one segment of this post so I will leave this up to you if you want to go down this rabbit hole. To find out more information, please go here. For this article, I just want you guys to realize that you will not get rich off this even though it is fairly easy and passive. You will need a powerful computer or belong to a bitcoin pool to make this worth your time. Being new to bitcoin mining, you will probably not beat your goal of $300-$500 by the end of the month. What this is good for is getting you $50-100 with a spare computer laying around so you can do less work doing one of the other methods mentioned above. There are a few risked involved with this so be sure to do your research before starting on your bitcoin venture.
Money to be made: Mostly small, but passive, amounts unless you have multiple powerful computers and free electricity.
Difficulty: Somewhat of a steep learning curve and moderately hard to set up. Once it is up though, it is passive and hands off.
Would I recommend it?: Only if you have an extra computer lying around or are in a place with free electricity. It will make your month slightly easier with a nice little amount of money at the end of the month.

Wrap Up
As you can see, the methods of making quick cash are simple. The hard part is putting the work in and grinding it out. To stay afloat you have to do what you have to do until that next opportunity pops up a few weeks from now. Work hard and you will get there!

Hey guys! Been very busy lately doing a lot of cool stuff that I hope you guys will find interesting.
Grinding the Poker Tables
I’ve really been developing myself as a poker player recently. I was under a stake in December where I was playing $25nl and $10nl and not really going anywhere. I got pretty discouraged and decided to end the stake and focus on school that is coming up this upcoming Monday. Well, I obviously got bored fast, got a little money online and started grinding away. I quickly made $700 or so.
I then decided that I should withdraw the $700 to pay for all the expenses coming up so I went ahead and did that. I was still craving poker though. I was frustrated that I was putting in little time with poker, not actively studying the game, and barely making any progress. Whatever money I did make, I ended up withdrawing at the end of the month which put me in an endless loop of making money, cashing out, getting frustrated, making money, cashing out, getting frustrated, etc.
I ended up finding a really good stake over at GR88 which is a part of the Merge Network. I can guarantee that if you are a poker player who plays a decent amount, you will find that the tables over at GR88 are much softer than the standard PokerStars or FullTilt poker tables. I also find games running 24/7 and tons of action. I can’t recommend it enough.
Why do I like GR88 so much? Here is why:
This graph is the last week of poker for me. I started out playing $50nl and did really well. Today, I ended up getting the chance to take a shot at $100nl so I did that and that went fairly well!
As you can see I’m making some pretty good money now and am excited to dive back into poker! I’m sure I can go to school Monday through Wednesday and then play poker close to full time Thursday through Sunday when the tables are really good. I see bright things in the future for me in terms of poker. I’m also discussing with some friends possibly living in Las Vegas this summer for a month. We’ll have to see 
Losing Tons of Weight
I know tons of people make new years resolutions every year to lose weight. I decided to lose weight 3 weeks back and since it was around new years it worked out perfectly to be my resolution. I’ve been doing really well so far! I’m already down over 11lbs and am leading an overall healthier lifestyle!
You can check out my weight loss progress over at Kaizen Lifestyle. Right now, I’m currently trying to get up to running a 10k in 4 months. So far I’m doing well! Just FYI, if you work a lot (especially at a computer) doing exercise is the most rewarding thing ever! You feel great all day, you can think better, and you have better concentration. I highly recommend it.
School is Coming Up!
l
I can’t wait to be back in school! I’ll be moving my way towards a degree in business and having another notch in my belt. I’m mostly excited to get involved in the college lifestyle again and be active in groups and clubs. The networking potential is going to be huge and I can’t wait! If you make money but don’t go out and do stuff, that is BS. For me, college is that outlet. I’m able to meet new people every few weeks, work on something long term and meaningful, and as an added bonus, I’m walking to school to get a little cardio in every day.

If you haven’t seen it already, Eric over at My 4 Hour Work Week is hosting an article writing contest. I’m pretty busy for the time being but I do plan on cranking out some articles. I’m not confident I can win it due to lack of time, but the good news is that writing articles should help me boost my current sites’ rankings!
The winner of the contest will be getting Tim Ferriss’ new book “The 4 Hour Body” (which I planned on buying anyway but getting it for free would be nice too )
Here are the rules as created by Eric:
- Spun articles do not count – if you write one article and spin it 10 times to post on various article directories, it only counts as one.
- You are allowed to outsource some or all of the writing. After all, that’s a very important thing to be able to do once you’re trying to scale up your projects (or if you simply hate writing), so it makes sense to allow it in this challenge.
- There is no minimum article length – use your best judgment for whatever constitutes “an article” in your mind (I would think it would be at least 250 words, probably more).
- This contest will start now and run through the end of the day (11:59 PM EST), Friday, December 17th. I will announce the winner on Saturday (December 18th).
- Don’t lie on your entry – the book is only worth $15, so if you lie, you’re cheating yourself out of a lot of content that will earn you far more than $15 in the long run.
- Your contest entry must be submitted as a comment to this post (see sample entry below). Once you submit your entry, you can’t modify it, so it will make sense to wait until the last day that you’re writing, to post your entry. You can still feel free to leave comments that aren’t entries – they won’t count as your entries.
- Comments that are submitted before the deadline, but not approved until after the deadline, will still count (don’t worry).
- I can only ship the book to those who live inside the continental U.S. If you’re outside the U.S., please don’t let that stop you from participating!
If any of you guys are interested in joining, be sure to head over to M4HWW and announce you are competing. Be sure to keep everyone updated on your progress!

Hey guys! Just wanted to write a post letting you all know what is going on and what I have planned for you all!
Launched New Niche Site!
I found a really cool keyword in a niche that I love! They two keywords I am targeting are “frat music” and “frat music playlist”. Combined, they should get 1,385 hits per day according to Market Samurai.
I created my new site for frat music. I’m going to be creating playlists for me and my listeners to listen to every week. From January to July of this year, I lived with my friend at his fraternity and it was a really cool experience! I know at parties and times where friends just get together in a room, it is always cool having a good mix going. I’m surprised so many people search for this specific keyword and how little competition there is!
I plan on using MixPod to create playlists and I plan on integrating FaceBook since most of my targeted audience is college aged. The one thing I am hung up on is how to monetize the site. I asked my friend Vinay Patankar and he gave me some good suggestions but I would love to hear some of your guy’s ideas in the comments section below!
Last Week I Took a Mini-Personal Vacation
Yeah, that is what I’m going to call it lol. Basically, my grandpa passed away and I’ve been helping my family out so I haven’t been really feeling like working. So yes, I didn’t do much this week but I feel it was for a good reason and don’t feel too bad about it.
The one thing I did do was play a lot of poker! I did pretty well and am able to pay for school and pay off some bills! I left a few hundred dollars on my poker account but I do not plan on playing much poker any more for the rest of the month (excluding Christmas and New Years since those days are super juiiicccccyyyy).
What I Have Planned
I’ve been thinking about Make Money Buzz lately and what I am doing with it. Right now, I’m just kind of updating it with my personal methods and knowledge and some random stuff. Next year, I plan on blowing this site up! I’m going to be adding tons of content, media types, and doing a campaign to get more readers. Of course, you guys will get a front row seat into all of that!
Some things I’ve been thinking about have been a monthly earnings report. I’ve seen guys like Pat Flynn do this and it has really been motivating and I’m sure will be interesting for you guys too. I’ve also been thinking about starting a daily/weekly vlog or podcast. Just an idea as of now but I’m thinking of venturing into new types of media.
Whatever the end result of this blog is, I am confident you guys will love it! I have a lot on my plate starting January, but this blog and my readers keep me going. For that I want to thank you! If you are reading and like my site, go ahead and subscribe to my RSS! I put a lot of love and thought into my posts and am confident that it adds value to my readers.

Today, I want to tell you guys how to destroy at micro stakes poker (aka: being able to beat 99% of the people on the planet), but first, let me give you a little update on how the month has been going so far!
One Night of Poker Just Paid for My Next Semester of School!
If you know me, you know that this year has been tough poker wise. I’ve been playing full ring No-Limit Holdem for about two years now making good money. I have been breaking even for the last 2-3 months and getting pretty frustrated in general with the games at full ring. Almost all the players are now regular tight opponents. Sure they make mistakes a lot but not as the recreational players do.
I decided to make some changes this month. I decided to go back to school to try and finish a business degree (mostly for networking and having fun… I do miss the college lifestyle!) and in the mean time, work online making money. Poker was going to be a minor factor until recently.
I had some money left over online and decided to start grinding out some $25NL 6-max games. I haven’t played these games in a very long time so I sat down to see what they were like two years later. Sure enough, there are tons of fish and even the regular players put in way too much money behind. I was really happy to see how loose people played at these games!
Long story short, I did very well the last two days (4 sessions) and made just under $400 (15.5 buyins) in just under 7 hours! I will be putting this money toward tuition at the local JC down the street and be happy that poker is paying for college and I don’t have to work. I am truly grateful that I can play a game I love for a living. Not many people can do something they like and get away with it for a long period of time. It is sad but true.
Secrets to Crushing Micro Stakes No Limit Holdem!
OK so there really are no secrets. If anyone tells you there are, they are lying. Poker has nothing to do with tricks, out bluffing people, or counting cards (you can’t count cards in poker yet I still hear people say it which makes me laugh). Poker is all about playing smart, logical, mathematical poker and not making any mistakes. Did I say make a small mistake here or there to gamble it up? No. Poker is literally sitting there and being perfect. That’s why they call it grinding. If you want to gamble or play bad, just stop here and don’t read on. You will never make it as a winning poker player.
So we established that poker is about playing “correctly” and not deviating from that. OK, so what does “correctly” mean? Well, that will take a very long time to teach and to be honest, I don’t think anyone is 100% correct every time, but we can get as close as possible. The way to do this is to read, watch, study, and seek advice from those whom are better than you. This is true with everything in life so it should be no different with poker.
The best source for poker “tips” is over at TwoPlusTwo. Seriously, they have a goldmine over there! Their Concept of the Week (COTW) is amazing if you have not seen it already! A lot of winning players from the micro stakes to high stakes all pitch in their abundance of knowledge in a certain aspect of poker. This has been going on for months so you literally have a whole huge list of topics that you can study whenever you want!
I suggest picking one or two concepts per day and just going over it and thinking about it. If you can, go into your hand history database and dissect you and your opponent’s play. You will grow into a huge winner in no time. Literally, if you are smart and have the work ethic, you can be grinding out a few hundred dollar days in just a few months!
If you currently play poker, please post what games you play down in the comments and if you can, tell us what the best learning source for you was?

My friend Vinay Patankar from Abstract Living has just come out with an awesome product! It is called Free Traffic Wiz.
I’ve seen tons of crappy traffic videos in the past but I really feel the Free Traffic Wiz is in a league of its own. It isn’t even comparable to any traffic course with its volumes of video information. I don’t just say that because he is a friend of mine, I say that because it is true. The amount of detail and packed in information is just amazing! You can literally take a bunch of “Guru” niche traffic guides, put it together as one, and it will be just under what Vinay delivers.
This course I would say covers 20% basic SEO stuff, 60% intermediate training, and 20% stuff I would have never in my life thought of. I consider myself a well seasoned internet marketer so it pains me to see rehashed ebook covering 80% basic things or video series containing too much fluff. With Free Traffic Wiz, you get none of that. I started watching some of the basic and intermediate stuff thinking I wouldn’t get much out of it but I got educated on a lot of stuff and reminded about a lot of other things (not to mention how they all work together which is the most important). No matter how good of a marketer you are, you will gain something from this. You will have a solid game plan in making and utilizing all the tips and secrets the “gurus” talk about. Don’t be surprised when you see something you have never seen before….. it will happen a lot ;p
Overall, I give Free Traffic Wiz a 9.5 out of 10
The reason I do not give it a 10 out of 10 is because I wish he covered more in depth into tools I currently use. He mentioned and went into a ton of detail that is more than enough to get tons of money from free traffic, but maybe if he showed us a run on ScrapeBox, for example, it would be perfect. Not to worry though, he covered enough for 99% of the people but for the extra 1% like me, I got tons of amazing ideas and proven methods and figured out my current tools myself (no big deal).
If you haven’t already, go check out the free video. The free video combined with the $47 price tag is an absolute steal. No joke. I wanted him to price it in the $200 range so my competitors wouldn’t have an edge on me by buying it themselves. When you have your sites ranked #1 and are making thousands a month on autopilot, you can thank Vinay by buying him a drink

I know a lot of you guys use Adsense as your main form of income. Adsense is used by a lot of website owners as their primary or alternative forms of income.
Adsense is a service owned by Google that allows webmasters to get paid each time a visitor clicks on one of their partnered ad links. A lot of micro niche keywords will pay out between $0.25 and $1.50 per click in my experience, but do not be fooled! Not all advertising links are created equal! By this I mean some advertisers will pay you $0.08 for a click while others will pay $0.75 for the same exact competing advertiser keyword.
How do We Ensure We Have the Highest Chance of Increasing Our Adsense CPC?
There are two primary things that come into my mind. First of all, you want to set up your Adsense “Competitive Ad Filter“. The Competitive Ad Filter allows you to not allow certain advertisers to display their ads on your website. We want to do this because certain advertisers are notorious for paying low for certain keywords. We want the highest payment per click so let’s completely block these low-balling cheapskates!
What you are going to want to do in (the old) Google Adsense is go into the “Adsense Setup” tab. From there, you will see the “Competitive Ad Filter” option along the blue header bar. Click on that and in the text field, copy + paste this list and click the save button.

This list will block out a lot of known low paying advertisers. Feel free to add or remove websites off the list as advertisers constantly change their marketing budget, but this list is great to start out with.
Making Sure Your Ads Have Relevancy
One other quick tip you can use for increasing your CTR is something you should be doing when doing keyword research. Go to SpyFu and type in your keyword. You will notice how many advertisers there are for that specific keyword. Obviously, when the more advertisers compete, the better it is for you. You not only get more money for the advertisers to appear on your site, but you also get assured that you will have multiple relevant ads displayed on your site. I like to make sure there are 6+ advertisers though a little less is OK and a little more is great!
I would like to hear if you know of any other ways for getting your conversion rate and CPC up. Post your ideas in the comments section below!

I just wanted to tell all my readers how much I appreciate them. I’m thankful to have a small amount of loyal fans I have plus all the new people trickling into my website everyday! I keep growing week to week so that keeps me motivated to keep blogging!
For all you American readers, here is a fun little thanksgiving turkey fact: Ben Franklin wanted to make our national bird the wild turkey and not the bald eagle.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Here is an early Christmas present to my readers
I found a cool directory the other day. It is called Follow List and it is not just a PR4 website directory. OK…. so maybe it is just a high PR directory, but what we smart internet marketers do with it is another thing.
What makes Follow List so special?
Every link on Follow List is a DoFollow website!
What can we do with that?
Glad you asked! I loaded up site:followlist.com into ScrapeBox and scraped all indexed pages in Google (this gave me all the directory topics such as business, finance, travel, etc). What I then did was load up the ScrapeBox backlink checker and get all of the external links on my scraped pages. Of course we need to go ahead and remove duplicates to clean the list up a little bit.
What this does is give us a HUGE list of DoFollow websites!
All you have to do is organize the sites by page rank and go in to manually comment on the sites.
Don’t have ScrapeBox or the time to follow through with this method? Don’t worry! I’ve got your back! Here is a .txt file where you can find 1,499 DoFollow sites that I scraped with my copy of ScrapeBox. All sites are PR1-6 and organized by page rank.
DISCLAIMER: I just scraped the sites so you should double check whether they are still DoFollow or not. Follow List claims to manually look over each one but I have already found a few NoFollow sites already. Also, don’t spam these guys’ sites. All of these people are generous to make their sites DoFollow so respect them and give them good comments and they will reward you with a good quality backlink!

I have decided to start a little series where I will be discussing cool ways to get high quality backlinks for your websites. My goal is to do one post about once a week. I’m hoping that after this series, most of my reader’s backlinks aren’t crappy nofollow links or low PR links on foreign sites. We’re here to talk about high quality links so lets get started!
Today, I want to talk about indexing websites. There are quite a few ways to get your sites indexed fast but I want to share with you one in particular. You will instantly get a PR6 backlink and will get indexed fast!
This method uses the site Website Outlook. Website Outlook is designed to help web property owners and buyers get the best information on websites. It uses sites such as Alexa to figure out how much to value the site and gives rough guesses of how many people visit the site per day and how much it makes. I find it to be pretty inaccurate with my sites but that is not why we are here. 
If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, you will see a section titled “Recently Viewed”. If you go to the very top, you will see a text field next to a button that says “Calculate”. I hope your gears are turning now. Enter your website into the “Calculate” field and press the button. Go back to the main page and you will see your site now listed on the very front!
I figured this was too good to be true when I first found this out so I did a DoFollow check and sure enough, it was DoFollow! This means that Google will scrape it and follow it over to your site and index it! On top of getting indexed fast, you get temporary credit for having a PR6 backlink from an authority site!
How Can I Add a Twist to Get My ScrapeBox and XRumer Backlinks Indexed Fast?
Now we are getting deep into how powerful this is!
Go to a site like Blogger.com and create a new free blog. Create a new post and put 100 or so of your ScrapeBox/Xrumer backlinks onto the post (create more posts if you have more backlinks). Now take your URL (look at one of mine as an example) and plug it into the Calculate field on Website Outlook.
Now Google’s spiders will crawl through your little backlink chain like this:
WebsiteOutlook ---> backlink-backlinks.blogspot.com ---> Your ScrapeBox/XRumer Backlinks
Just make sure that your backlinks on your blogger blog are clickable so the spiders know to crawl it. Clickable and non-clickable look like this: non-clickable.com and clickable.com
I hope you guys think outside the box and use this little method wisely. It is very powerful if you know how to use it right! If you know of any other ways to get your sites indexed almost immediately, please post it in the comments section.

I'm currently traveling the world trying to complete my bucket list. I have made a living online for a few years now and LOVE it! I read and come up with so much stuff every week, I feel like I should give some knowledge back to the people who helped me get here. I truly appreciate my fans and am glad that you are here! Be sure to add me to your favorite social networking sites and to come back often for the latest updates on making money!
