Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Well its been a long one... but what a year 2009 has been. I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my readers a Merry Christmas, and what I hope for all is a fantastic New Year!

Here at the Million Dollar Experiment Down Under we have been quietly working away behind the scenes and making money online with a number of different concepts.

Number One Earner for 2009... Selling tyres on Trademe ( Similar to Ebay in other countries ) . Yes its bizarre but this year my main online money earner has been selling Tyres ( Tires for those American Visitors ). By finding a product I can buy cheaply and sell at a profit thousands of dollars have been created with minimal effort.

Curry Fans Go Crazy for Leftover Ham and Turkey Recipes.... When checking the stats for our Curry Focus site I was very impressed to find that well timed articles written to make leftover ham curry and one for leftover Turkey curry going crazy. It pays to think ahead sometimes and by using predictable events, like Christmas and Thanksgiving, you can make money fast and smartly with well timed articles.

Text Links and Sponsored Posts... These are a thing of the past for me, I prefer to make my money nowadays on content and selling products. Others may still do ok out of these money making avenues but for me the time has come to diversify.

Looking ahead to 2010... for the year ahead I plan on launching some new concept sites, as well as working away at my main income earners. ( Curry Recipes, Job Sites and Tyre Sales ).

Enjoy your holidays, make goals and set targets for 2010 and remember that by changing your tactics, watching for opportunities and not being afraid to stick your head out you can make real money online.

The Simple Facts

Several years on after I began the blogging experiment and started reading all the "A-Bloggers" Blogs, there is only about one blog I think that I have kept following all this time and that is Shoemoneys Blog.

The others seem a bit stuck on the same subjects, time after time. There are only so many times you can read about how to get new readers, how to come up with a funky blog headline or the latest blogging mastermind course before they all start to sound the same. Shoemoney however seems to be able to come up with different stuff all the time, and I think that is because he just blogs about what's on his mind, or what new stuff he has come across.

As for me I continue to make a few dollars from the various websites that I operate although funnily enough the biggest money making idea I have come across lately is selling stuff on Trade me ( NZ's equivalent of Ebay ). By utilizing my past career's contacts and product knowledge I have managed to make hundreds of dollars a month selling of all things Tires online.

I think I have come to a crossroads on this blog.. I no longer are motivated to blog about making money by writing about making money but are happy to share my ideas and success's or simply if I come across something interesting. I can't promise to make anyone rich quick, and will not try to send you to a site that pretends to do exactly that, but I will share any great ideas that I come across and will always answer any questions that you may have.

Currently I have moved sites that were .co.uk but hosted in NZ to hosting in the UK. There are mixed opinions on this but it appears the search engines may indeed factor in the locality of a sites hosting into the equation.

I continue to sell products online, promote my sites and collect money from advertising and will share anything I learn with the readers of this site.

Make Money Fast - Get a Job!!

For those of you looking for work in the recession we all find ourselves in you are welcome to register your profile on our free job hunter sites. We have just launched in the states but are in desperate need of candidates before we can start advertising to employers.

So if you are looking for work, or want to advertise your services please sign up on our free site. Registration takes less than 5 mins, we don't want your life story just a quick run down on the type of position you are looking for.

American Jobhunters

The Jobhunters sites started more than two years ago when we created a single site in New Zealand. It proved fairly popular so the next step was an Australian version, followed by a European site, fairly recently a Canadian site joined the group and now we are looking to help people looking for work in the States.

Matching employers to jobseekers is something I find personally satisfying, the sites have never made a great deal of money, however I think the concept is a good one. The employers are able to browse the categorized listings of job seekers and then contact them, with no private details divulged unless the candidate decides to respond.

Each response is checked first to ensure its not spam, ( or some kind of network marketing offer or get rich quick scheme!! ) and if relevant forwarded on to the candidates. New candidates are displayed on the front page of the site for a period of time. If we don't get a rush of sign ups your profile could be on the main page for days!

To register simply click on register ( the link on the top right of the site), I am happy to display your profile if you are looking for internet work, or pretty much anything serious.

Thanks for your support.

The Catch 22 of Text Link Ads

A couple of months ago I got an email from Text Link Ads that informed me they would no longer be selling new links on my site as Pagerank had gone.

This is ironic because if I hadn't sold text links I would still have a great pagerank.....

Nowadays I don't even bother trying to sell text links, however keep earning money of those that I have sold in the past. As they drop off however my monthly income from these sources slowly declines.

Are text links a thing of the past? Maybe with the increased popularity of search engines like "bing" Google will focus on providing great search results for sites that have great relevant content, and stop punishing sites for trying to make a few dollars (Which one could argue helps to encourage that great content...)

One thing that I am going to try to do more of, and it's something I have probably neglected in the past is to stop worrying so much about making money out of every article or site that I own, and just to focus on building sites that are useful to people. I think if your site is popular enough the money will come and find you.

As for Text Link Ads, they keep paying me each month, so I won't be too rude, but I do have one word for them after that email...

Make Money Fast Legally With Articles

Over the last few years I have experimented with countless ways of making money fast online legally and one of the best ideas that I am going to share with you today is simply writing good articles that will create passive income for you month after month. If I had more motivation I would simply churn them out day after day, however with working full time and the other demands of life I am just glad that I have written some sensible ones in the past that bring in thousands of visitors every month.

If I lost my job or needed extra money and had the time I would simply repeat this formula over and over again, maybe you can make the most of what I have learned..

1./ Get a great title with keywords that don't have to much competition.

This is key to the long term success of your article, find something that may even sound boring or mundane and write an article about it, rememember however it must be related to your website for the best results. When I was looking at writing an article for my job site I found that a lot of people were searching for information on how many work days in a year, so wrote this simple yet informative article that answered the question. Last month 690 people landed on my site via this article and it appears on the front page of google for that very question.

Sure its not going to make a million dollars, however its regular income every month from the content related adverts that I run on it.

2./ Write something unique and helpful that people will comment on and link to.

Make sure the article you write gives answers to the questions that people are searching for everyday. That way other sites will link to you and forums where these questions are being discussed will tend to send traffic your way.

3./ Write more than a few lines

I generally write 4 or 5 paragraphs at least as that seems to work well. Google won't tell us what their algorithm is however it seems obvious they are going to ignore or lend little value to just a few lines of text.

4./ Consistently create content

My most popular curry recipe site is updated at least weekly by one of my internet partners who fortunately is a lot more motivated when it comes to writing content than I am. Over the years this site now has hundreds of articles that attract thousands of visitors every month.

So there it is, as always there is no element of rocket science involved, just common sense, consistency and content. Key factors in the art of making legal money online!

How to Make Your AdWords Advert a Successful One

I have been experimenting a little bit with a couple of small Adwords campaigns, directed to landing pages in an attempt to generate a little extra money. The first problem that I encountered was although I am getting impressions, people are simply not clicking on the adverts, so its now mission time, to try to generate an advert that not only converts impressions into clicks, but converts the right kind of customers that will actually buy as well!

Nothing is ever easy in this world is it.

I am trying to sell Matrix DVD's to a target market of UK. I am pointing the advert to this landing page, which I whipped up from a template I found online, and filled with my amazon affiliate adverts for the Matrix DVD, the plan being to pay for cheap clicks from people actually wanting to buy the Matrix DVD, convert them and make a few dollars.

My Advert currently is along the lines of this...

Considering The Matrix?
Matrix Books and DVD's
Great Prices and Lots of Products
www.gristech.com

Its fair to say the advert is pretty crap. So I am going for a rewrite... and came up with this. Previously was getting 0% conversion so will post again in a few days and update if there is any change..

I found out from this article that you can actually add a keyword dynamically into the title so are going to give this a shot. Will let you know..

The Million Dollar Experiment Summary To Date

The Background

Back in October 2006 I started upon a journey that I hoped would make me One Million Dollars in cold hard cash. It is now 21 Months later and I have NOT made One million dollars yet, however I have made more than ten thousand dollars online and set myself up with a small monthly income whether I work at it or not.

All was well on target until January/February this year when my life literally fell to pieces and I ended up leaving my marriage, going through a very tough time both emotionally and financially and working on my experiment was to be quite honest the last thing on my mind.

Six months later the world is a different place for me, it has not been an easy time, by any stretch of the imagination, but as the saying goes

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"

and I believe I will come out of this whole experience wiser, smarter and happier in the long run, however it's going to take time and I would not wish the last six months on anyone.



Results for January - June 2008 ($NZ)

Jan 200.06
Feb 264.95
Mar 493.58
Apr 487.44
May 764.94
Jun 481.06

That folks is $2692.03 NZ dollars which added to the running total of 8493.68 comes to

$11185.71

Where to from here?

Well one of many things I have learned is that money can be earned online, there have been some high points and low points along the journey and in some ways this is just beginning.

My goals over the next few months are to get right back on track, I have graphs to update and figures to plan so make sure you check back soon for more updates from the Million Dollar Experiment down under...

Happy blogging - and remember if I can make more than ten thousand dollars online so can you, read through my site and follow the journey from the beginning.

Make Money Fast with Clickbooth

If you are an affiliate marketer or looking to advertise your online business then one of the sites you will want to be keeping a close eye on is the Clickbooth Blog.

Clickbooth are one of those companies that stand apart from other affiliate marketing companies in a number of ways, but one that I believe is very important is the fact that they do really care for their partners and the Clickbooth Blog is one example of this.

Clickbooth realize that by helping and sharing their vast experience with their partners all parties involved, including advertisers, are rewarded.



The Clickbooth team also have a Clickbooth Twitter page which is like a mini blog of its own and has some great information for affiliates.

Its a good idea to sign up to the twitter updates if you want to be notified and be proactive with your affiliate promotions. The internet moves fast so its important to stay ahead of the game and with rss feeds and channeling the information flow you can do this with Clickbooth.

Remember making money online is never a solo game, you need to choose your partners wisely and with companies like Clickbooth setting the benchmark make sure you take the time to check them out thoroughly.

Passive Income Starting to Kick In

Its taken a long time, well into the second year now but everyday I do make a bit of money whether I do anything or not.

I try not to spend to much time on things that are not going to help long term anymore and to be honest do not spend even a quarter as much time online as what I used to. Earnings have certainly suffered however every month I am still earning several hundred dollars via a mixture of online activities.

This site for some reason got a fair amount of PR back from the google gods, and that has certainly helped things income wise. However who knows when they will suddenly decide to take it away again. I used to really panic about PR but now just go with the flow, I have sites with no PR that I still sell links on and they do ok.

If you have a number of sites and can make a bit of passive out of each of them, surely you are on a winner.

Good luck in your online endeavours - I have a couple of new projects on the go and will be talking more about them soon.

Short Term Money VS Long Term Gains

Lately I have been in the situation where I have needed money fast, ( to pay bills ) and the time frame has been short. However its a dilemma in itself because normally if you want to make money in a real hurry I have found that I have had to do the likes of sponsored reviews, or sell links. This is all good and you can get quick results however you also need to focus on the long term stuff which means creating worthwhile and valuable content that is going to create passive income, and unfortunately spamming your sites with paid posts and links is not really the best way to go about it.

My answer to this has and always will be multiple sites, I have sites which have never seen a sponsored post anywhere near them, I also have sites which I pretty much use solely for sponsored posts. ( not this one if you were wondering, this blog is a mixed bag where I try to create content, but do a bit of advertising as well )

How much money can you make in a short time frame?

I went to one of my paid post sites tonight and wrote 5 quick short posts that took me around 30 minutes and I was paid $US 25-00 for my efforts. Thats not great money, but it was quick and effortless really and filled a need ( money for the bank account ).

Balancing it out

The important thing is if you do something like this try to make sure you also spend time creating content or improving traffic to your key sites, so that you are not only fulfilling your immediate requirements but also working on creating a longer term and reliable passive source of income, that is really the golden egg, that I think most of us are seeking. So don't ruin your sites for short term gain if you can help and are looking to really make decent money fast online.

Good luck with your quest to make money fast online!

My Top Current Passive Earners - Lazy Mans guide to Making Money Fast

As you have probably noticed I have not been dedicating much time to actively making money online lately, however it has been an experiment in itself to see which avenues that had been set up on my sites continue to tick away earning money for me while I have been doing very little actively on the sites.

On a personal note I want to thank all the readers that have stuck with this site over the last few months, even though there has not been a lot going on... Sometimes life is a funny thing and although most of the time things continue in some sort of consistent pattern, events do transpire that change the course of your life forever. Often its just a matter of rolling with the punches, taking one day at a time and working through things until you recover some sort of normality in your life.

Anyway below are the top passive earners that have kept ticking away for me over the last little while, number 2 and number 3 are affiliate links so if you sign up via my link and make some money, its possible that I will see a small return for sending you there.

1./ Google Adsense - has always been the top passive income earner for me, basically install the code on your site, drive traffic to your site and you will make money. There are probably methods that could be better used to monetize this space, but for ease of use most people I am sure would agree that Google Adsense is right up there.

2./ Linkworth - It has really taken me a while to begin earning consistant income with these guys but for the last few months thanks to slowly but surely building up a few advertisers that are happy to purchase advertising on my sites they are now earning a reliable residual income. Sometimes even if things don't always go your way you really need to be persistent to achieve that goal of making passive income online.

3./ Bucks4Banners - These guys just keep paying me for a few banner adverts that I have. Easy to set up and they just keep paying month after month. Often its a bit hard to figure out what sites they will accept however from what I have found they are not that keen on "make money online" sites and prefer more natural kind of sites.

I would be very interested in hearing which are the top 3 - 5 passive earners on other peoples sites, so please share, however only please if you are actually making money from these programs.

Important Find

Another way to monetize your website is now through playing short audio Ads when visitors first visit your website. Now I first found out about this method/site a while ago and thought that as it would be annoying for my visitors I decided to skip it. Today in searching for more monetization methods I came across it again. I decided to look into it more and think about it. Now my opinion has varied on the subject. Most of the time I have my volume off when I surf the net and only turn it on if I am listening to something or watching clips. So some of you will not hear the advertisement. The second is that why not put it on a couple of website where what the traffic thinks is not maybe so important as it is all search engine traffic. So I think we will try it out on our arcade and MySpace Profile sites.

SIGN UP NOW

Ok so I bet you are wondering why write a post about this? Who cares? Right? Well after reading PayPerPlay's Blog I realized that as of this Friday the 15th of February they will be no longer be accepting new Publishers. If I want to get in later I need to be in now. So I signed up and will try PPP on several sites.

Now PPP is still in Beta its self and will be paying out starting this month so I am cautious. However with the deadline looming in just a day or so for them accepting new publishers I though it would be worth the risk. You can read more about this Company though their Blog.

If you want to sign up and try it on a few of your Sites or just want to make sure you get in before they stop accepting new people then Register with PPP.

They do pay 2 levels deep for referrals and I advise signing up just to get in before Friday. We are always looking for new ways to Make Money Fast and are always trying new ways to monetize our websites and earn more cash. This could be another way to add to what we all ready have. Sign up and see if this way will work for you.

Do Rob and Greg Make Money Fast

Introduction:

Those of you who do not know who I am my name is Greg Barnaby and I am the guy that Rob sometimes mentions in his posts. Together we formed a working partnership called GRIS. This is the first of hopefully many guest posts to be done by me. A little bit about myself I am 27 years old, a full time Carpenter, part time lifeguard, and soon to be married. I started earning online 13 months ago and have never put any of my own money into this just re-invested what I have earned.

Do we Make Money Fast?

I thought my first post would deal with making money fast online. Does GRIS make money fast online? Yes and no! Our long term goals are to create a passive income, passive income large enough to make this our full time jobs. Many of you will find that doing this is not very fast. As you know it has taken Rob over a year to get this blog earning what it does today, it did not happen over night. Creating passive income is a slow process sometimes.

That said Gris does Make Money Fast. Take last week for example, we had payments into our PayPal account for 95$, 75$ and 50$ in a span of 24 hours. We sold some directories and received payment for links on our various sites. We also make money fast when we sell links special at DP. We have taken in over 600$ in 1 week just selling links and blog posts. It was a lot of work but it did make us some fast money.

We started small and now we are ready to move on to the next level - that means we are ready to graduate to the next level of higher earning websites. We have created capital from nothing, made money fast, created a passive income that will continue to grow and now are ready to take the next step. None of this was easy. It took time, trust and a lot of effort to get where we are today. It is possible to make money fast online but it does take effort. Make sure you set your goals, write them down, look at them, and use them to keep you focused. Lose site of your goals and you will end up wasting your time. Stay focused!

Make Money Fast With Arcade Sites

One of the ways to set up an interesting site, for minimal outlay is by hosting your own arcade site. Both myself and Greg have about 4 or 5 of them and would like to share some of the lessons that we have learn't along the way that will help you to run your own successful arcade site.

Buy a good script
There are a number of free scripts out there and also some very cheap ones, however a word for the wise, its better to spend $50 on a decent script rather than mess around with the free or very cheap ones.

Keep your script updated as well, hackers seem to love hacking arcade sites as we found out recently and that can be a real annoyance.

Add new games on a regular basis
By adding a new game every day or week ( or whatever you decide ) it keeps your site fresh and also sometimes you will add a game that proves to be popular and can gain a lot of extra visitors in this manner.

Use SEO friendly URL's if you have the option.
Most scripts have an option that lets you have either SEO friendly URL's like /games/pacman.html rather than something like /games?=id34765 and as you can imagine this type of friendly URL can help Google and other search engines figure out that you have a pacman game a lot more easily.

Dont place Adsense to close to games.
You need to be aware that there needs to be a clear line or gap between your games and your ads. You cannot try to make visitors to your site accidentally click your adverts as that is against the Google TOS.

Having your own arcade sites can be a heck of a lot of fun and a great way to make money online. Its easy to get set up and dont be overawed by the seeming complexity of such sites, being script based they really are a turnkey solution.

Make Money Fast In TheTwilight Zone

For the last few weeks I really feel like I am living in the Twilight Zone and all kinds of strange and random events seem to be occurring not only on my Blogs but also to do with life in general.



Here are some of the reasons why I think I am in the Twilight Zone..

• The less time I spend on my sites the better they seem to go, and my passive income is increasing all by itself.... this is one of the most random things, however it is probably a culmination of the last year of work that is now starting to pay off.



• Some people may know I have a morbid fear of sharks and lately everytime I look in the paper there is a new shark sighting or attack. Sharks have been eating boats, chasing kayakers and clearing beaches all over NZ at the moment and I have never heard this much news about them. Apparently according to scientists it is some kind of maternal instinct, probably that and the warmer weather at the moment?



• Work.... work is really strange lately, due to the time of year I am guessing it seems like every week I am attending someones leaving drinks. And aside from that full time work although a little hard to get into the first week or so is agreeing with me at the moment - that in itself is far from the expected result.

The reason I am telling you all this ( you may be wondering if there is a point to it all! ) is that when making money on the internet no matter what you read and how you do things sometimes doing the opposites of things can be useful to not only see whether what you are doing is actually worth the effort ( obviously if traffic drops off or your income goes down then it was ) but also sometimes doing the opposite to what may seem to make sense can actually work for you! And when suddenly you realize you are making more money for less effort you will probably be very glad you tried!

December Summary of the Million Dollar Experiment Down Under

Well what a crazy time of year, this has been a long time coming - my December summary - and I apologize for the delay. Have had a lot going on lately and a return to full time work as well as other unexpected events has meant little time for blogging lately!

I have noticed that since I have pretty much stopped doing sponsored posts my passive income has increased and continues to do so.. maybe it is just timing however I can see now that making money by selling my soul for 10 or 15 bucks a post is not the way to go. Even though of course it did help to pay the mortgage there for a time and I guess at times we do what we have to do to get by.

December was a record month for me on Google AdSense and this revenue stream is one that I am actively trying to increase.

Top referrers for December 2007 - these 5 top referrers will be linked to on the front of the Million Dollar Experiment for the month of January. Thank you so much to the following sites which have been kind enough to send hundreds of visitors my way.

Traffic for December 2007

Traffic was down very slightly in December however this is only to be expected at this time of the year. Things are looking good so far for a great month in January traffic wise.



Income for December 2007 - The numbers - how much money was made

In December we added $480.05 US dollars to the kitty, which brings our NZ total so far to $8493.68 with only $991,506.32 left to go. Soon we will have made 10,000 dollars on the internet!

Make Money Fast With TNX Text Links

One of the companies in the text link arena is called TNX and the way they operate is certainly a little different to some of the more traditional Text Link Advert type providers. Given their rapid success in a short amount of time it is obvious that they have a program that is worth further investigation.

Not only can you sell text link ads on your site and make money, but by just joining up you can get free points which you can then use to spend on advertising for your own site.

Looking at the Alexa traffic graph for TNX over the last few months it is clear that they are enjoying tremendous popularity and fast becoming a favorite of both web publishers and advertisers.



How does it work?
TNX works on a points system, when you buy links you spend points and when you sell links you earn points. It really is as simple as that and although the rate changes currently you can buy 1000 points for between .68 - 1.4 depending on the quantity purchased.


Affiliate Program

One of the best things about the TNX affiliate program is that it is simple and none of the usual constraints that can sometimes make a referral program not only confusing....but painful. From the TNX.net site...

The rules are absolutely simple - no bans, no possible overcharges, no restrictions.

By referring partners to the program you can earn ongoing commissions (13.3%) for the future income of that publisher. Worth looking into.

I will certainly be trying this program on a few of my sites and will report back with updates in the future.
