We all started somewhere, and sometimes it takes a challenge to really get the blood flowing. So, I'm throwing down the guantlet, and challenging you n00bs to make some money.
A couple posts got me thinking about this. Check out:
The first post talks about making money with RSS scraping and auto blogging. Bam Bam is making about $8 per day with one of his auto blogs in his first month. Awesome! He took an idea that he found here and ran with it instead of sitting around doing nothing.
The second is from Eli's BlueHatSEO site. Eli lays out the initial framework and mindset for building your own SEO empire. If you don't already read BlueHatSEO, you need to. Take some time off from WickedFire and read his blog.
The goal of my challenge is:
- Help you make money
- Get you off of your ass and doing something
- Teach you that persistence pays off
The toughest part of Internet Marketing is just doing something. I remember when I started, it took me 6 months of reading and thinking before I got the guts to try something. That's stupid. Once I started doing something, things started to pick up and I started making money. Now, I'm not Mr. Baller here, but I'm working on it. When I'm making 6 figures per month, then I'll be happy.
Here's the rules: you have to build sites, blogs, do ppc, anything. The guy with the most revenue / profit after 60 days wins. Simple.
What do you win? Self esteem, bragging rights, the money you make, skillz that you can expand on to make more money, and possibly something from WickedFire (I have to run that by the powers-that-be first).
I'm going to participate in this as well using a
Wordpress mU setup. This is something I haven't tested, and now seems like the perfect time. Something I'll also do for you is post the links, niches, etc that I use. I don't expect you to do the same, but I'm going to. I think it will be a great way to get things started and if you get stumped, you can just steal one of my ideas
Good luck to everyone! Can't wait to see what shapes up!
