A couple beginner tips, low cost/free money making methods for beginners

Great help for fresh meat! THX a lot!
Thank you for reading!

First 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.
Cheers. Still in tough times though, not so much in the physical but more in the mental state of mind :)

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 :) Cherish your adsense account but don't use them on BH sites or they will ban you.

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.
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.

Nice sharing.
Still there are a lots of ways to earn online :)
Although it get's tougher where there is a will there is a way :)
 
thanks a LOT for taking the time to respond to my post.

Ya...im 41 now......first kid was a surprise when i was 18.....was a very stressful cpl years there haha. I understand the mental part of things......i was in a very bad mental spot 7-8 years back because i hated my marriage....loved my kids...but i had financial stress and marital stress and everything just kinda fell apart.

Im extremely happy now......but struggling a bit with finances (STARTING to think about getting savings for retirement....got nothing so far..which isnt great....AAAND kids are hella expensive....esp with 4 of them and what the government tells me i have to pay in child support....)

But yeah....getting back into this and after reading your thread and a few others...i think i will start focusing on QUALITY over quantity. Last time i just set up all sites with wprobot posts and twitter follow tools and let it spam away.....didnt make great money considering how many website/twitter i had setup. So this time...i will start with all rewritten content and see how it goes.

Actually am looking at signing up for hosting today.....was gonna use godaddy as i felt it was nice and safe.....but i will check out the company you recommended.

Thanks again....I look forward to more of your threads/responses!

Holy shit, I can only imagine how much of a surprise that was at 18, although 18yo consider themselves adults they are just kids. Got respect for you though for being so passionate about your kids and sticking with them. I never had a dad who cared and believe me it is really important.

Tbh without selling you any dreams, you could make 5 figure months too in just a few years, it just takes a lot of dedication and time AND money unfortunately but it is definitely possible!

You got anything you are really passionate about? Doesn't matter what, I knew a guy who was passionate about fucking chickens and he build a site about chickens and chicken coop's and he is a millionaire now :D he just made a niche site about chickens and sold courses of how to build your own coop too bad I can't remember his name but it's just an example of what is possible.

Unfortunately niche sites are the long road, they can be very reward-full when done right but they just take a lot of time (building audience, email list, getting traffic, constant updating etc etc)

The real big money is in CPA but it has a very steep learning curve and will take a lot of money to perfect your skill.

About the hosting, OFC I recommend my buddy Jake @HudsonWebServices but whatever you choose, don't go with GoDaddy that's all I can say ;) what an absolute shit company that is. I speak from experience.
 
haha thanks......fucking chickens.....i literally almost pissed myself

I never dealt with getting email lists and keeping them.....i will have to learn about that...im sure theres a thread or 100 on here about that stuff

One last q - for picking domain names for these blogs.....is it critical to get a .COM extension or is a .net or .org just as good?

Ive got 2-3 ideas - one that i want to start with but really having a tough time getting a .com domain with the 'catchy' and not too long domain names i am thinking about.

Well I will give you my personal view on that because there are many views upon this matter.

A lot of people will say it doesn't matter and that you can rank any domain extension etc and blabla. But I look at people and their behavior. Sure! Technically you can rank any domain extension to the first page. But humans are creatures of habit.

What do humans know? .com, .net, .org and local extensions so for my country that is .nl. I believe only sites/companies that already have made their impact can get away with the new TLD.
 
cool man....thx

im in canada so .ca extensions work well here but i dont want to alienate usa visitors.

iirc, getting a .ca domain came with extra fees .....id have to look into it, but i remember it was a pain in the ass back then (7-8 yrs ago)

TBH you should really not focus on USA visitors because besides the people that are actually living in the USA and can only target USA traffic so is the rest of the world ;)

I think we should talk as I own many domains on which we might JV ;)
 
drop me a pm or msg or whatever its cal;led. I think i have a .com domain name that will work for my first site. but always open to options

IG follower service. My advice, don't use em ;) don't mess with fake followers only on rare occasion like getting 1k for a FB fan page to change username or 10k for twitter to remove some limits but for IG, don't do it ;)
