I'm sure that most of you have come across ORM, or Online Reputation Management before, and maybe you've read some threads on the subject like this one, or this one.
Today I'm going to be sharing with you a slight variation of those methods, which can easily become a full-time earner if you put enough effort to it.
I know that most of you will have downloaded, or at least seen, some pirated/ cracked software during your time on BHW and other forums, but have you ever wondered how much damage you are doing to the small-time developers who made it?
The more intelligent amongst you will have already twigged, but for those who haven't, in short, we will be charging developers for removing pirated Software/ Images/ Music etc.
Step One -Finding the client:
First and foremost we need to find some clients whose software has been leaked online. By far the easiest way to find leaked/ pirated software is to browse online forums, like BHW, for shared download links. Just taking a quick look at the Download section here, and my page is literally crammed with potential clients.
Basically, we are looking for anything virtual that has the possibility to be shared online without being paid for. To begin with, I would suggest that you target small development firms/ developers, for obvious reasons, but as you gain experience and build up a wide-range of testimonials, there's no reason why you can't approach the big fish!
Step Two -Landing the client:
After finding a product that you think will work, we need to establish where else it has been shared/ uploaded.
To do this, we need to make the following Searches:
Get [Product] Download
Get [Product]
[Product] Download
[Product] Download Free
[Product] Free Download
[Product] Nulled
[Product] Cracked
Mediafire [Product]
Zippyshare [Product]
Every time you see the product being shared on a file-sharing website, note down the link as we will need them later.
Once you are confident you have found enough links, then next thing to do is contact the developer/ company (Search up their name and find their email/ phone etc.)
You should develop your draft over time as you gain more experience, but for now, just stick to this letter:
A few days after sending out this message to as many publishers as you can, you should hopefully receive a reply from one wanting to know more.
After a bit of sweet talking and sucking up, you should hopefully land your first client. When it comes to finalising a deal, I highly suggest that you bill them on a monthly basis (As more links will pop up in the future) and charge them according to size. For example, you could charge a small publisher with one product around $40/ month, whereas a larger company with a large range of products may be willing to pay above the $100/ month mark.
Step 3 -Work work work:
By now you should have at least one customer under your belt. So, now it's time to get down to the real work and start removing links.
We will be removing the links by filing a DMCA Takedown request with the file hosting site, which is actually incredibly easy.
For example, if the item is available on Mediafire, you would go to Help > Contact Us > Submit a Ticket and from there you easily select "DMCA Takedown" from the drop-down menu.
Once you are there you then want to send another letter, this time to the file-host, on behalf of the publisher. You may also want to develop your own draft as time goes on, but for now, you can use this:
That's it. After no more than fifteen minutes of searching you should find easily enough potential clients to make a decent amount of money and after a few weeks of messaging, you can be earning $500+ easily.
Although the work only takes a few hours per client at the most, if you've half as lazy as me, then you may like to hire a Virtual assistant (You can find one here) to do the grunt work for you.
I'm sure some of you can put some fantastic twists on this to really skyrocket it.

Hello there,
My name is [Name] and I am messaging you on behalf of my Online Reputation Management firm, [Name].
I recently came across your [Product], which looks great by the way, however, after looking into it a bit more, I came across hundreds of leaked and cracked versions of your [Product] on various file-hosting websites.
After a bit more searching, I found that a staggering 500 people had pirated your software from the websites I found, can you imagine how much money you would have made if even a fraction of those people bought it?
As you can see from these links I found with a quick Google search, your product leaked on many file sharing sites, which is just not on!
[Link] x 5
After years in the Online Reputation Management industry, my firm and I have become experienced with these types of cases and we have developed a method to legally remove all of these links from file-sharing sites.
With our unique approach, we are able to make it almost impossible for people to pirate your [Product], which will not only result in more sales for you but also improve your Brand's appearance overall.
If you are interested in removing these links from the public eye and inevitably increasing sales and revenue then don't hesitate to get in touch!
Regards,
[Name]
ORM Manager, [Name]

Hello,
My name is [Name] and I am contacting you on behalf of [Name]. We were recently made aware that a copy of our [Product] has been shared illegally on your system, which is infringing on at least one copyright owned by my company.
The product that has been shared without consent can be seen here [Product Link] and the unauthorised and infringing material can be found here [File-host link]
This letter is an official notification under Section 512(c) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (”DMCA”), and I seek the removal of the aforementioned infringing material from your servers. I request that you immediately notify the infringer of this notice and inform them of their duty to remove the infringing material immediately, and notify them to cease any further posting of infringing material to your server in the future.
Please also be advised that law requires you, as a service provider, to remove or disable access to the infringing materials upon receiving this notice. Under US law a service provider, such as yourself, enjoys immunity from a copyright lawsuit provided that you act with deliberate speed to investigate and rectify ongoing copyright infringement. If service providers do not investigate and remove or disable the infringing material this immunity is lost. Therefore, in order for you to remain immune from a copyright infringement action, you will need to investigate and ultimately remove or otherwise disable the infringing material from your servers with all due speed should the direct infringer, your client, not comply immediately.
I am providing this notice in good faith and with the reasonable belief that rights my company owns are being infringed. Under penalty of perjury I certify that the information contained in the notification is both true and accurate, and I have the authority to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright(s) involved.
Should you wish to discuss this with me please contact me directly, you can contact me here [Form of contact]
Thank you,
