"Have plaid on the whiteside."

I think I just found the name for my next boy-band.

Or maybe, "Plaid side of the force." It's the next Queer Eye.

Anyway, welcome aboard.
Here's your agenda.

Pick one from column A:
Traffic Arbitrage
Cookie Stuffing
Blog Farming
Social Marketing
Blog and Ping to Ads*ense
Blog and Ping to CPA
Cr*aig's List spam
Fa*cebook ownage
Mys*pace pimping
eWhoring
Video pwnge
Yahoo Answ*er Snipage
Article Marketing
Ousourcing of one of the above

Pick one and only one.
Spend exactly 4 hours reading these forums about it and if you must download stuff about it (although I recommend against the download section until you're making $100/mo or more already; it's a trap; trust me)
Do it until you make a profit and don't come back here except to ask questions. THIS IS IMPORTANT: DO NOT COME BACK HERE OR TO ANY OTHER FORUM EXCEPT TO ASK A SPECIFIC QUESTION ABOUT THE METHOD YOU CHOOSE. YOU WILL FIND THIS PLACE AND ALL OTHER FORUMS ARE BOTTOMLESS PITS OF TIME WASTING.

Don't get me wrong, I love it here. There's incredibly useful information here. But 99% of people, myself included, do not have the discipline necessary to avoid all the pretty shiny "newest methods" out there and get distracted into never making a profit.

Be fearful young Jedi. The actual Dark Side is: never doing anything.

Further rules:

Until you make a profit don't download ANYTHING after the 4 hour mark.

Until you make a profit don't try any new methods.

Until you make a profit don't buy anything other than hosting and domains (this includes nifty scripts and time saving software; you don't NEED to save time right now. You need to learn how to do shit manually so that when your software goes KERFLOOEY! you're smart enough to recognize it before you get eaten alive and lose all your hard earned profits.)

Until you make a profit: DON'T. GIVE. UP.

I made two tiny mental changes that led to me actually beginning to make money.

1) I decided I was going to make my living doing this if it took me until the day I die. I will never give up. Period. This mindset makes me much more relaxed about each individual failure and heartbreak. It's just education, not failure.

2) I decided to intentionally fuck up a few times. Launch campaigns and sites that I KNEW either weren't ready or would get me slapped/banned. This boils down to face your fears by jumping into the snake pit. I'll put together a graphic one day showing my income as it directly relates to doing what you're afraid to do. Might be helpful for other giant wishy washy pussies like me.

There you have it. Uncle scuba's recipe for making a few bucks.

Go!

Shoo!

Good luck.
