How To Make Money In Today's Economy , Starting From 0 It is still quite possible to start with 0 and still build up a very good income over time. You can take a few of the methods you find right here in the forums and build up a nice income in no time at all. If you will think outside the box a little bit you can go from 0 dollars and build a very nice income in 6 months to a year. I was setting the other day talking to a few friends and I was asked what would you do if you started today and had no money to invest. What would you do. Well I can tell you that the first things I would do would be to make use of sites like Hub Pages and Blogger to get a income going. You can throw in Thumblogger just because you can get by with a little more there than you can at the other two. You have to have traffic to make money at places like Hub Pages and Blogger and what you can do is to build a popular Celebrity Blog at Thumblogger with nude content of celebrities and feed part of that traffic onto Hub Pages and Blogger through text links, I Frames, and Pop Unders. I would almost bet that if you were to go through the forums here and download all the PLR articles you could take those and rewrite them ( not spin them ) and start by making those rewritten articles into Hub Pages and Blog Posts at Blogger. Use the articles related to the most popular niches and you will be well on your way. Link your blog articles to your Hub Pages and take the time to rewrite the articles so they are well rewritten not spun. Spun articles will never work as good as rewritten articles. Do several Celebrity Blogs at Thumblogger and do a pop under of what ever Hub Page you are wanting to push traffic to. That Hub Page should have very good content on it. It should be content that people will want to look at and read. It should be content that is going to keep people on the page. And yes it would be that easy to get started. Once you had 5-10 Hub Pages you could apply for adsense and if you kept working to get traffic to those Hub Pages you would eventually make money. What I'm trying to get people to see is that there really are ways that you can make money with $0 dollars. It is possible. And you can build on it by building sites on various free blog sites and etc and keep linking back to those Hub Pages. Over time you can build a large enough income to be able to set there in front of the computer in your underwear like I do. If you have any questions just ask and I will be back to help you in any way I can. A Personal Message From Me Let me say this. I will do anything and everything I have to do to pay mine and my families bills. By this I mean anything. This is a Black Hat Forum guys. There are people on the web that still hate me for going to the dark side. But I have fun on the dark side and I make money on the dark side. Probably more in the average month than the average working man will make in a year. For those of you who don't know I used to be a whale among adult webmasters. When adult started going down the tubes I went to the dark side to keep the money coming in and it still does. I can still live in two states and my Grand Children still get to go to Disney World. I haven't worked for anyone but me since 1999 and I was once up to over a thousand dollars a day ( With Adult ) mostly on free web sites. It all took a big hit when the bottom dropped out of adult but through several methods I now have my income back above what it ever was. But it takes work guys and gals. You aren't going to do it with out putting in a lot of long hard hours. And you will need to think outside the box. You have to be ready to make the sales. No matter what it takes to get the big $$$$$$$$$ you have to be willing to do it. You have to be willing to take the chances. If you can do this then you can succeed. You can make the money your only dreaming about right now. If there is any way I can ever help you just ask. The method I outlined above at the start of this post can get you started. But you'll have to work it and you'll have to stick to it. But if you do in the end the reward will be there. I hope you make lots of $$$$$$ today and I hope you succeed in everything you try.

There's almost no need to start with free websites if you are willing to work a little bit before hand. Writing 5 articles can easily get you $25 - Which is enough for hosting, domain and a few SEO services to give you a bump. Even if your English is bad you can find people on oDesk that will pay $2 a pop and still accept poor work. I agree that you can make plenty of money from nothing. I myself have a good stable full time job, but I've made around $1500 writing articles on the odd evenings for 2-3 hours over the last 2 or so months. I'm not saying free websites/blogs aren't worth here, but it's easier to come up with $10 to get something with a bit more freedom. I've never used anything other than WordPress once though, and they don't allow ads; not sure bout the others.
Your post is very true but if a person came on the scene today with the money to buy a domain they would still have to build that domain. But if they did great writing and did that writing at Hub Pages , Blogger etc they would succeed quicker than the person with a new domain. It takes time to get traffic to a new web site. But at a site like Hub Pages you can be making $25 a day in no time. And you can keep building on that to get it up to $100 a day and then along the way start working on your domains. You can build Hub Pages and Blogs at Blogger and apply for Google Adsense. If you write good to great content you will make money. Spun content won't work. Not long term. You need to be thinking 3 months , 6 months , 1 year , 5 years into the future. You can put almost any kind of ads on Blogger and use your domains on Blogger.
You're saying, because of their Web 2.0 properties, effectual SEO can be accomplished more quickly with less external backlinking expenses with them versus a raw, brand new domain of your own?
What's the deal with thumblogger these days? Is it still great? Didn't they have a hack or major loss of data about a year ago???
in economy like now money changes its position too fast .. so you can short stocks if you got the balls ( i dont anymore lol ).. hear bad news about eu , usa, china - oil & gold goes up.. another war - oil goes up .. as more crysis any penny worths more and you can hire double more work force for same money .. you can rent cheaper place .. same time any speculative & viral site makes boom cash so speculate with people fears and monetize that (again i dont have the balls for that social engineering too ... what i mean is money moves too fast now so you gotta be able to stick to 1 thing that is worthy or just follow the trends and being adaptive. Its hard times for long term projects but its cheapest time you can start them. If its hard for everyone then see who is doing well or think reverse ( if you got the balls to do against what whole society & tv says you to stay quiet and saving then making money @ home) ... while nobody of stocks traders in jail again trade and order hookers ( as they got the balls)
There is nothing wrong with using sites like Squidoo , Hub Pages, or Blogger to make money. Nothing what so ever. I see people post all the time to buy a domain. But this is not always the best thing to do. Especially not when sites like Squidoo, Blogger, and Hub Pages are setting there waiting to be used. Do you know there are people at Hub Pages making from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand a month. And they got to this point because they didn't have to start with a new domain on their own hosting. Most of them though not all of them did it by drilling niches down to micro niches and then building a multitude of well written Hub Pages on that Micro Niche. You want to write your own content or have it written by someone you can trust. Duplicate content or Spun content will not work at Hub Pages. And even if your able to get by with it for a while you won't make money. It takes time for a new domain to be found by Google and to start to get traffic. And yes I own many domains but free web sites that are quality have a place especially in today's market. And you can make money faster on them than you ever will on a new domain of your own. But as you start to make money start to buy some domains of your own and I would suggest putting word press blogs on them. Pick a niche and build a authority site. Pick a good sub niche and you can quickly make some money. But you will need traffic and you will need to do back linking. If you build up enough sites of your own all of it grouped on different hosting you can in time build your own back links. Don't be led astray though and build a blog farm on one host today though because it won't work. And yes I know in a few minutes some one will post but that's what I do but it will not work long term. If you host a multitude of blogs on various hosting you will do much better long term with your blogs than the guy will who puts them all on one host.
Some people who were trying to use various scripts got hacked and lost data. I do not use scripts there or on other free hosts so I lost no data. I look at it this way the more hooks you have in the water the better the chances are that you will catch a fish. And the more sites you have out that can possibly make money the better the chance is that you will make a sale. I throw up thousands of pages with adult stories on them with links to a hosted movie gallery in the body of the story and I make $35 several times a day from doing this. Now you may not make sales with 10 story pages out there but you will if you have several thousand story pages out there. Think outside the box and you will make money
This is some great advice about the value of free platforms like Blogger and HubPages, especially in the face of so many missives that your own domain is the only way to go. The main argument is that it builds professional impression for visitors. Hosting multiple sites and blogs on more than one hosting plan is an excellent point as well. It ties into why certain other methods fail to work because of the site authors' lack of ability to think in the longer term. Buying a domain does have both its good points and its drawbacks just like anything else.
This is best for me because I'm still a newbie and i still don't know a lot of things about making money online. thanks BHW!
