Torrents are very popular method of sharing files much more so then any peer2peer network because the downloads are faster there is no waiting in queue like other p2p networks and if you pick your servers from popular trackers it`s just like downloading from a website.

So you have a website or several and you need traffic to make money. well, many people are seeding or serving popular files from their computer, adding a readme file with every zippep file. The readme file is a simple text file that says something like:
This file courtesy of: www.yoursite.com or something more enticing such as: Visit www.yoursite.com to get all the latest releases FOR FREE !

Some people even make the READMe file a html page which means for those lazy bunch, no typing, they just click and goes right to your website page.

All you need to do now is upscale this process by creating as many files with your readme as you can and seeding them from your PC. The they the traffic builds is like this.

100 people download the file from you. Then another 100 download from them and so on and so on. The zip file the person downloaded stays on his computer for others to download and spread also. Absolute amazing viral marketing and it only cost you your time. So good luck and get started now.

 I have not posted anything on this blog for a month until the article Youtube Traffic lie. Only 5 minutes after posting I decided to check google to see if my post is indexed yet and sure enough there  it was in google when typing : Youtube Traffic Lie imoney.  For some reason I can no longer see the time it was chached in google as before otherwise I would have screen captured it for you guys as proof.

Don`t confuse this with ranking on google. I still rank horribly but this is my own fault for not having enough quality backlinks yet.  The point is this.  Google loves originally written blogs and mine is all original since I do my own writing and none of the content is available on any other site.  The proof of this is that fact that I have not posted for over a month and the content gets indexed within 5 minutes on google. Obviously google thinks is important.

Now, if you can manage this with your site, the other thing to focus on is getting other websites to think you are important also.

You may have heard of online marketers telling you and selling you books on how to get massive traffic to your website using youtube and other video sharing sites. Well, there certainly is massive traffic on youtube but that traffic getting to you is not as easy as you are lead to believe.

Here is some proof. Have a look at the channel of an online marketing expert michael cheney.

Pay attention to the views of his videos and when they were posted. At the time of this writing the most viewed video received a little over 7000 views in one week. The video has a catchy heading. Now out of those 7000 views in a week he may get 10% to visit his website so that is about 100 visits per day. Not bad. Since it is fairly targeted it could turn into as much as $100 per day.

Well this is all fine and dandy but have a look how many videos on this subject get 7000 views in a week. Very Very few. I put up a few videos on youtube which were much more informative then the sales pitch video above but pretty much useless since I only received a misarable 20 views per day and less then 2 site visits per day.

So, as with everything online, success is only for the few who know how to play the game. Which reminds me of a tip I heard today.

“Learn how to play Win - Win with people, and success is guaranteed.”

You still here? Get to work already….

I am back after a long vacation from this site as well as just lazyness. It seems that those using the internet to make money are also somewhat lazy overall. I understand the desire for easy money but don`t confuse easy with easier money. I certainly know several ways to make money online now but I have implemented only 1 and even this is not with an aggresive attitude. And then I remembered a proverb that of course I knew to be true but had forgotten. I bet most of you have forgotten also or at least do not respect it. So here it is. Read it slowly to digest it.  Remember it well and say it back whenever you find yourself lazy.

If you don`t do what you don`t want to do, you will never do the things you want to.

Jogging on the beach today lots of things came to thought about how I was going to succeed online. You may have heard about the wall athletes reach when training or anyone doing something difficult be it sports or brain work. But if you have never experienced it, you are going to have a harder time climbing over it when you get to it. Today while jogging I hit this wall. For me, it happened 3/4 of the way of my 10km trip. It was a point where it was difficult enough that I wanted to quit but I didn`t. I pushed hard for the next 3 minutes and suddenly it was not hard anymore. I found myself jogging along comfortably and at the same speed. Why? Because I managed to climb over the Wall. I will remind you I did not slow down or run downhill or anything like that. I kept up the same pace but I was suddenly not struggling.

The other day someone asked me on my youtube video how can I stay motivated for 6 months if I am not making any money with a website. I replied, I think of the alternative, working a 9-5 grind for so so money, commuting another 2 hours per day or more in rush traffic either public transit or bumper to bumber and feel like you are living only on the weekend. Yuuk.

This website imoneyonline.com has now reached a 3 month life online and I noticed the other day for the first time I am actually getting a page rank from google and a few inbound links. With only 7 inbound links I got PR2 within 3 months. Nothing to write home about but I noticed some people are still at pr0 or pr1 that have been around longer. I have not noticed any increase in traffic yet but the point is that if you put in the effort the results will come. Had I put in more effort I would have had more then 7 inbound links showing up on this may google update. I believe when it comes to making money from free search engine traffic with new websites you need to think of it this way.

Yes you can make a little money in 3 months but count on 6 months to make a living and only if you invest time everyday consistently. I have been watching carlocab in google for the past 3 months who has been #1 for keywords make money online and to my surprise he has slipped to 4th position at the time of this writing. I was surprised because I was shooting for 800 inbound links in order to match him but the #1 for this same keyword phrase only has 230 or so incoming links. Suddenly I got this light of hope that hey, why the heck can`t i do that in say another 3 months?

I do a lot of other things to make money online not just this website. I dabble in google adwords, yahoo marketing, ebay, local auctions selling here in brazil, I even have a few adult websites. So I am always making some money one way or another. If you are just starting out, you should launch as many good money making ideas as you can because when they finally become profitable (hopefully in 3-6 months) you will say to yourself ” Finally, I feel like my work is paying off”.

Hey come on, its not that long of a wait. How long do you wait to make money when you study to  get a degree?

Are you finally convinced that there is no such thing as a job security? Good! However, if you are in the pursuit of making your financial dreams come true, please bear this in mind:

Most of the rich people in the world today become rich by building a business in their spare time.

So should you!

If you have commitments to meet at month’s end, to quit your full-time job and jump straight into building a business can be very risky, online or offline.

The good news is that you can still be wealthy by building an Internet Business in your spare time.

And the other good news is that building an Internet Business does not require you to be at the computer table for long hours. In fact, the working hours can be rather flexible and the Internet is highly leveraged.

This is one of the many advantages an Internet Business can offer that conventional businesses do not.

I recommend you to build an Internet Business in your spare time as you will also learn business and leadership skills in the process, the same skills you may not learn from a job as an employee.

However, like any other forms of businesses, do not expect money to be rolling in too soon. If you still have commitments and bills to pay, keep your day time job for it keeps food on your table as you work on your Online Business. But work on your Internet Business in your spare time religiously and the results will show.

While your friends are watching TV at home or drinking beer at the bar talking trash, use your spare time wisely to build a successful business online. You will want to look forward to the financial and personal differences you make for yourself from your peers.

As soon as you finish building your money pipeline and when your residual income exceeds the amount of expenses you pay in a week or month, only then you can safely resign from your job to be financially free and perhaps pursue to grow your new-found wealth!

And by that I mean you free yourself from the drudgery of waking up early in the morning against your own will and earning less than how much you think you should be worth your time and effort.

White hat is the the methods you know such as manually link building, writing your own content or outsourcing, etc.. basically doing everything by the book is called white hat technique. Blackhat are things that by the book but not usually illegal. So this means blackhat maybe unethical or against terms of usage by your sponsors or merchants but it is almost impossible to get into legal problems in my opinion. Blackhole is an more extreme form of blackhat which can go as far as hacking.

I don`t practice any of these techniques and don`t recommend blackhat or blackhole strategies to anyone for a few reasons.

1. They are generally short lived techniques that get you discovered, banned and therefore all your work must be started again. You think you save time but in most cases, its very time consuming then you originally think.

2. It makes online business a worse place for those honest, hard working business entrepreneus. While I believe you need to be on the up and up and protect your business as much as possible, these shady techniques such as voting or buying your own affiliate produts may put a lot of good websites out of business, websites that offer a valuable resource to the internet.

If you find yourself with no money, no time to wait and in a rut to generate some cash quickly I suppose you can break your ethics and get a launch on your business using some proven blackhat techniques. But I recommend you only use these in extreme needs and only to get you started on your path and if you are not careful you can destroy a lot of hard word overnight.

I just saw a video tutorial of an online marketer and I could not help cringe at the video tutorial entitled 3 steps to instant cash online. So I decided to write this report to review the techniques mentioned because I really hate false information being spread around about making money on the internet.

Technique 1. Create a website in 4 hours and sell in on sitepoint.com for $400 or so.

The marketer mentions that you could just grab youtube videos on the subject as content and that would be sufficient to qualify as content for getting the site ranked on a small niche, indexed etc…

Comment: I suppose if all you had to do is “scrape” or copy content from other sites you could build a site in 4 hours or much less but the truth is google does not index duplicate content even if different domains, different class c ip addresses. Makes perfect sense to me, would you have 2 copies of the same movie on your hard drive? Since it is not indexed you don`t get the credit for the page. Which means if only 1 page (your main page of your site) is original, that is the only page that will be indexed in google. Google gives websites with many pages higher ranking then those with only a few pages. So where do you think you will rank with a one page site indexed? You won`t rank anywhere even for 5 word key phrases.

Technique 2.  Article Marketing.  Submit your articles to article marketing for free traffic and backlinks.

Comment: I have tried submitting 3 articles to ezinearticles  and all 3 times I got a automatic  duplicate or similar content reply rejection before even trying to submit the articles.  I know my article was not the same but only similar topic because I searched ezinearticles search feature before hand. Nevertheless, it seems if there has been an article written close to the headline you won`t be able to submit your articles.  Just like anything else, it works for a certain time, then when its over saturated, its no longer effective.
