Thank you for reading!Great help for fresh meat! THX a lot!
Cheers. Still in tough times though, not so much in the physical but more in the mental state of mindFirst of all......congrats on getting your life in order after suffering some tough times living on the streets!!!! Thats a great accomplishment on its own.
Secondly.....i REALLY appreciate the post as a 'newb' the methods explained seem do-able and not too scary to try out for those of us who havent spent a lot of time working in the IM industry.
Thirdly...my story....I used to do some of this 7-8 years ago to make some extra $$ over and above my FT job to help with bills (i gots 4 kids lol.....costs $$ to feed/clothe/etc haha)
What i did (if i remember correctly) was buy a hosting plan, purchase domains, set up wordpress blogs, and then set up similar twitter accounts & have my blog post all my posts on twitter to help drive traffic to my blog. I cant remember what exact thing i was using for my blogs for ppl to click on...i THINK it was amazon and some ofter pay-per-click affiliate program. I remember they had to call me to get approved and everything went ok (thanks to a post on BHW where someone posted what to tell them when they called haha).
I believe i used WP robot to automatically pull/post content 2-3 times a day....then my blogs had the amazon ads and pay-per-click ads on the sites. I believe i was using a program i bought on BHW that automatically 'followed' 75-80 ppl per day and hope that at least 1/2 would follow back which would mean that they hopefully see my tweets and click & go to the blogs.
I never did anything in regards to 'backlinking' - to me it looked very complicated on how to do it properly......but i think thats about all i did and i think i ended up with about 15 blogs (each one was for a different niche) - and of course 15 twitter accounts (one for each blog). I think at best i was making about $125 a month. I had hoped to make more but i was in a terrible marriage at the time and not really in the greatest of mental health due to many reasons.
Well today, i am faced with more financial challenges.....still got the 4 kids.....the crazy ex is gone.....but I am at the point where i need to make some extra $$ to help support my family financially. I think im going to try this method again (YOUR METHOD) and see how it goes.
I do have a cpl questions if you have the time...... 1) I do have about $100-150 to get started.....just wondering what you would suggest to spend it on. I obviously want to get reliable hosting and domain names...so thats a given...but I would love to hear what you suggest. I might even be able to squeeze out an extra $75 as i know spending some money on this will help accelerate results 2) all my content from my blogs were 'pulled' from other sites using i believe it was called WP robot......what do you suggest for content....do you use something like WP robot?? 3) If i were to focus on TWO forms of social media to help drive traffic to my blogs....which two would you recommend? 4) I did have an amazon associates account.......i havent logged in to it for 7-8 years. I see my adsense account is still current...any idea if amazon cancels old unused accounts?
I think thats about it......i LOVE this site for all the helpful info...and i LOVE it when posters such as yourself go into some detail about how to get started as it really helps us who dont have a bunch of IM experiance and arent too tech savvy.
Im located in canada if that makes any difference for any advice you can give me about my post.
I have google adsense......cant remember how/what it exactly is....like i said, this was all 7-8 years ago lol.
Indeed the methods are not scary at all and are a good base to start off with, you will learn tons of things along the way.
4 kids, dang! That's also a thing I think about a lot, couple more years and I turn 40. Do I want them, do I not want them. I'm sure when they are born it's a special thing and when you grow old you will not be alone but for me, it cost a lot of money, responsibilities and this world aint all sunshine and fairy-tales. I've been all over the globe and not talking about tourist spots only, also seeing how everything is going, it's one nasty world I will be putting them in. Plus got a lot of lost time to catch up.
About your questions.
1 I host all my sites with haste hosting, great guy, great service, he is also a member here @HudsonWebServices and all my domains I register with namesilo.com. They are cheap, free whois guard and static prices. I would start with shared hosting to get back into things and once your blogs get traffic again you can always upgrade to a managed VPS like I have.
2 With all the recent changes I would not suggest to use WP Robot if you are using SEO too because you won't get it ranked, if you only use social media then sure you can always play around with it. You could use a spinner but IMO they all suck because you still have to change some things manually to make it perfect. I usually just rewrite article myself.
Don't know if you are bilingual but you could take an article from France for example and rewrite it in English. I rewrite a lot from my country to English
3 Tough question, a while back I would have definitely said facebook but they have become very strict with fake articles, copied articles and to build a fanpage it takes a lot more effort and most of the time money to get a big audience. Depending on niches Reddit and Quora can give you a huge amount of traffic but it will take some time to master.
4 I haven't worked with Amazon at all so couldn't tell you, I guess you will find out soon enough if you log in
Any specific advice for Canada...Uhmm.. stay warm
Yes, literally anybody can make money with these methods but they take a lot of time, determination and consistency so that's why many fail.Great read. Looks like an excellent way to make money for those that are just starting out. Sure there have been many that have had success with this.
Although it get's tougher where there is a will there is a wayNice sharing.
Still there are a lots of ways to earn online![]()
