The nasty way to make money

Filed under: Blackhat, General — Alan @ 7:26 pm

1) Buy/steal any ebook that explains how to make money…

2) Paraphrase it, and write your own. Usually a 40 pages document full of shit is enough. Do not forget to fill it with affiliate links in case of some fool would actually follow the outdated/crappy advices you put in it

3) Make an annoying website that tells one is gonna make 1 million within next month if one downloads your ebook for a nice price (your price must end with a 7, why ? Because years ago someone did some study somewhere that says that if you end your price with the number 7, you’re gonna sell your shit much more. And, funny thing, everyone still believes it). So let’s say $47.77

Of course don’t forget to put intrusive javascript of a fake sale agent on your website so the poor guy is annoyed until he agrees to buy your crap.

4) And because you’re cheap, don’t buy google adwords. Instead, search for a list of marketing blogs that talks about making money (there is a gazillion of such blogs - mine included). Then spam blindly each owner and say you loved their blog (that you actually didn’t even look at), and you’re looking for a great business partner, and the guy seems to be the one. But he’s got to hurry otherwise you’ll have to find another partner. The deal is simple. He writes a post on his website telling how great your ebook is and that everyone who wants to make money should buy it, and by the way his readers can have a great deal… $37,77 instead of $47.77, but only for the first 500 (even if the poor guy has only 30 readers).
What does he get in exchange? 50% of any sale of your ebook made through his website.

Don’t laugh, all this sounds terribly lame, but it actually works, at the cost of clueless/naive people who are desperate to make money.

I’ll repeat it over and over, because I want people to avoid such trap : There is a ton of money on the internet, plenty of opportunities, you can literally make money out of thin air. but THERE IS NO SHORTCUT. Only CONSISTENCY will bring you the money. You don’t know where to start? Look at my beginners project to make money through newsletter and start TODAY. And don’t give up.

Thanks for your comment, if you like my posts, I’ve planned to write another interesting one next week which explains how to make money by twisting old ideas.

About this one, what I wrote is what I have experienced from some guy trying to sell some crap ebook. I don’t even want to name it because I don’t want him to get any free publicity.
I must admit at first I was kind of flattered when I received an email saying that the guy liked my blog and thought I could be a great business partner, while he was just wanting me to be an affiliate for his shit.

Actually I wrote this to give another example of the traps you have to avoid when trying to make money on the internet.
I wouldn’t recommend to follow what I described because at the end of the chain there’s a poor guy who gets screwed, and usually it’s a guy who’s not in a glorious situation and who really needs money.

I’m doing blackhat, porn and even working with spammers, so I have low ethics but screwing people like this is under my limit, I prefer to educate them, this is why I started my blog actually.

I agree 100%.

(This sounds like a spammy comment jsut to get my link on here - but it DOES sum up my feelings!)…

OK - I’ll elaborate a bit more you do need some idea of what you are doing to start with but from then on, hard work is what it takes!
