Someone (well Mark, I can’t pretend that I have so many comments that it’s impossible to remember who wrote them; maybe in a few months, eh?) asked about where I got the cheap proxy hosting from. I got it from Simon369, a DP member; you can check out his website by going to this link. Their packages range from $5 to $15, and you can also order custom packages to suit your needs (as I did originally). If you want a discount (f**k, who doesn’t), use the coupon code 20off to get… you guessed it, a 20% discount. Not bad at all, eh?

By the way, talking about Digital Point; it’s down at the moment. It’s been slightly off the whole week; it looks like they’re finally doing something to fix it though. If you visit you get the message that they’re ‘doing some DB work’ (database), let’s hope it gets back up quickly so we can rip off some more newbs earn some decent money.

1. How did you first get started with internet marketing? And eventually site flipping?

Hey Stanley. I got started in internet marketing when I was 15 year old. After reading ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ by Robert Kiyosaki, I realized that I need to make a life changing decision and I decided to make money on the internet.

My first business on the internet is by selling customized stuff on eBay and I wasn’t doing very good. After realizing I need to move on, I bought the late Corey Rudl’s “Insider Secrets to Marketing Your Business On The Internet” which is a home study course. I started to get into niche marketing and made some money out of it selling $97 eBooks.

Then, there was this blogging trend when everyone has a blog and I decided to get into the blogging business as well. Unfortunately, I am never a good blogger and decided to sell those blogs away and I was shocked to be able to sell 5 blogs for a combine amount of $3,000.

And that’s how I got into the site flipping business.

2. What was your most successful site flip? What niche was it in? How much time and money did it take?

My most successful flip is really a fitness and diet membership site that I sold back in 2008 for $12,000. It’s not a lot of money but I only took less than 10 days to complete the website and recruited over hundreds of members that will pay the recurring fees.

After seeing the result of that flip, I managed to duplicate the success over and over again.

3. What types of sites should people flip? What types of sites should people avoid flipping?

There are a lot of sites that people can flip – from forums to blogs. I personally recommend people who do not know anything about site flipping to flip turnkey script sites. There are a lot of turnkey script sellers on the internet and sometimes you can even buy them for as low as $10 and best of all, you can use the same script over and over again on different domain names. Plus, it’s very noob-friendly.

The type of sites that people should avoid flipping is really…none. I personally believe that every site can be flipped. Even if the website is the worst website on the internet, you can develop the site for a few days and that website can be sold for a higher price that you could imagine.

4. How do you find the right niche?

I always pick the hottest niches like health, dating and money niches. I suggest newbies to go into the hot niches too because in hot niches – it’s impossible for you to go wrong.

Otherwise, you can always go to Clickbank and check out what’s hot and what’s not. If a lot of people are buying that stuff in that niche – you can always be sure that that’s the niche that you want to get into.

5. What is the number one mistake people make when it comes to site flipping?

There are actually 2 number one mistakes that people always make. 

The first mistake is pricing their sites ridiculously high. I’ve seen some sites that have no traffic, no earnings and bad designs without any history selling for $1,000. For example, not long ago, I just saw a plain blog with plain designs, 6 blog posts, no earnings and no traffic was listed for sale for $450. Of course, that blog was not sold.

The second mistake is skipping the basics. You have no idea how many of newbie site flippers actually skip the foundation of site flipping. You need to learn to start from scratch so you know how to outsource the works easier and cheaper as well as how to build the best sites.

6. Many of the readers here at TUK are bloggers. What are the keys to flipping a blog?

Blog designs.

Blog’s value has dropped ever since the CPA marketing trend took over. But generally, if you can have a blog that makes $100 per month (easily attainable), good theme design, powered by WordPress – your blog should have a value of more than $1,000.

7. How do you grow your website after you’ve purchased it or built it from scratch? When is the right time to “flip”?

The best way to grow websites is to prepare a schedule of when you want to bring traffic to it and also a plan on how to make money of it.

For example, if you bought a product site which sells eBook in the internet marketing niche (big niche in the “money” niche), you can plan out how much you want to run PPC on it. The most effective methods to quickly grow it are to leverage other people’s mailing lists and forum marketing. You can run a WSO (Warrior Special Offer) on the Warrior Forum and after making some sales – you could flip it for big profits.

The right time to flip is very subjective as it depends on the market and types of sites which we will cover in The Site Flipping Code.

8. How are you able to demand the best prices when selling your websites? How do you write the best ad copy for your website listing in the marketplace?

Demanding a good price for your site is easy if you know what the main selling points of your websites are. Most of the time, you need to know what the buyers want in a site. Most buyers obviously love sites that are generating good earnings (passive would be even better) as well as good design. Some go for long term potential.

Another great way to demand good price is to increase the number of bids in your auction listing. The more bids you see, the higher chance that the buyers will want to “buy-it-now” bid your site. Of course, you will need to know how to fish for more bids. One method that I like to use to fish more bids is to give away review copy of whatever that I am selling on my site to bidders only. This prompt interested buyers to bid.

Writing a good copy is essential but a listing copy is very different from a sales page copy. The main thing that you need to remember when constructing a listing copy is to be straight to the point and as simple as possible. Lesser words are always better because trust me, no one wants to read a six thousand words listing copy. Use some basic HTML (if you don’t know HTML like me, get NVU which is a free HTML editor) to give the headline and sub-headline some striking colors like dark red or blue. Make sure you use paragraphing wisely.

9. Tell us a bit about The Site Flipping Code. Who do you think this product is for?

The Site Flipping Code was born when Jani G (my business partner for this project) knew that they were a lot of people approaching me to ask me questions related to site flipping as well as paying me big bucks just to coach them on how to make money from site flipping.

Because of this incredible demand, we decided to create The Site Flipping Code which is both of me and Jani’s biggest ever launch.

The Site Flipping Code is really the best product on site flipping on the internet currently in our opinions because it is broken down into many different courses that cater people who have no idea how to make money online to experts who know how to program a powerful website. Most importantly, the theories and strategies that are outline in the course are proven to be effective after we went through many trials and errors that took us over 6 months to test!

10. Thanks for your time. Do you have any final comments?

You’re welcome Stanley.

I know a lot of people have yet to take action even though they want to make money on the internet. My advice is, just do it.

Just take action and do it. If the outcome is successful, then, that’s great because you can make money…and maybe even lots of money. If the outcome is a failure, you still gain something…experiences and lessons. A lesson that will teach you not to repeat the same mistake again. So, there’s really nothing to lose if you take action.

I started out with nothing. My parents do not believe in me. My friends think I’m lying. My teachers think I’m crazy. But so what? You shouldn’t care about what people think about what you think. You know what you want and it’s your own destiny to pursue it.

Thanks everybody. 

Update: Great follow-up responses posted by Desmond below in the comments section

Although this is not meant to be a blog that teaches you how to make money, I know a lot of you read this in the hope of doing so.

The problem is – the main ways I make money (off this blog and freelancing as a writer) are near impossible to duplicate for most of you – some of you don’t have the writing ability, others don’t feel like starting a blog.

When was the last post on this blog that helped you make money online? I can’t remember.

It is time for that to change.

You, me, all of us – we are going to start making money – in a field where I am just as clueless as most of you.

I’m talking about marketing offline. A few of you may remember the post I put up – when I did so, I had lots of enthusiasm. I do think the idea could work, but things just came in the way of it – work at Uni, a few parties, feeling too lazy to set it up etc.

The only person that has lost out is me. I spoke to the person who let me know about the idea today – he’s nearing $xx,xxx a month. Money that I could have well been making, if I wasn’t so lazy. Money that is enough to make a full time living with, especially in a place like here with no tax (one of the joys of Dubai  ).

Enough fluffy sh!t, as the title says – it is time to dominate your niche market. Do I have any clue about doing so? Not at all, but as it will not take anything apart from time (and I have a tonne of that) so why not try it out. And for the first time on TUK, I want to work with you guys.

I’m talking about working offline – and as we all (hopefully) live in different cities/towns, there is no real problem about competition / saturation – those of us that live in the same place can even cooperate with each other.

You can take this as a call to action – in fact, after you read this post I want you to stop reading, start doing. Something I spoke about on a guest post on Tyler Cruz.

I will be doing this week by week – slowly, but surely. If you want to tag along, feel free.

To make this easier for people to decide, I’ll tell you this – it should cost less than $50.00 startup (divide that by a lot if you have hosting already) and the potential is clear to see as the friend I spoke with showed.

What my friend did was supply website services to companies and then outsourced the work, but although that is a good idea, I want to do something different.

Here is what I was thinking. In the modern world, there are millions of people that would be interested in learning about the online world – maybe not making money per se, but certainly about starting their own website – this is something that the younger generation is especially interested in – a personal blog for example. However, they have no clue how to begin.

This is where you and I come in.

By offering courses, you can help people and make money, at the same time.

Or so my school of thought goes. Now, here are the steps we are going to follow – if you are interested in taking part, mention this in the comments.

First off, go to this link and check out how many Internet users your country has. Anything over a million and you’re good; the less there are, the larger percentage that you will have to control.

If you live in the Holy See (Vatican City) where there are only 93 Internet users, I apologise, but you’re probably not going to be able to take part 

If you are in the green (most of you should be) after checking out that chart, we can go on. I am setting up a private discussion for this activity, which I will talk about later in this post.

The next step is choosing your domain. I picked up DubaiDen.com, as it is a nice generic domain that can be used for well; anything. I will be giving you guys a week to think of a domain (you can ask for suggestions in the private discussion). You can also start looking for themes and all (I’ll be running this on a WordPress blog, as it is only thing I know how to use – I have found an excellent free theme that will work very well, which will be disclosed in the private discussion.

After a week, we will go on and talk about content, marketing and what not. I have a few ideas, which I’ve spoken about with the guy I know that’s currently doing this; as they say, x heads are better than one and the best thing about this is that there is no problem if we all do the same thing, as we are all targeting different markets – and even if people found out they are targeting the same target (which is unlikely) they can work together and cut work.

I have made it clear, but if you haven’t gotten it – I am a newbie at this, and I have never done much of it before. However, I have some knowledge of how it works and we can help each other. As we all will be on pretty much the same level, I don’t foresee any problems, and we can make sure everyone stays on track (which will make money sooner rather than later).

As I said, all you need to start up is some time, a domain and hosting. The money to be (potentially) gained is there – if you charge even $10/hour and recruit say 100 people, you are making $1,000/hour. The United Arab Emirates (where I stay) has around 1,709,000+ Internet users – you do the math. Those of you in other countries will have a larger market to target, and you can rinse and repeat.

Feel free to let me know what you think of the idea below, and if you are interested in joining the private community mention “I’m interested” somewhere and I will send you an email (make sure you use a proper email). You can also ask me over MSN/Yahoo if you don’t want to wait – I’m fairly excited. All for one and one for all, or so they say – so let’s get cracking. 

I will tell you one thing right now – if you read posts and don’t comment, you are wasting your time. I used to be like that too – I used to bounce from post to post in the blogosphere, just skimming, rarely commenting… before realising that ultimately, I wasn’t doing anything of use to improve my own blog. By commenting, you are.

The next time you aimlessly wander for hours through your favourite list of blogs, leave interesting, insightful comments on each of them, and bam – rather than wasting half a day doing jack all, you’re building links and traffic. By leaving links on blogs with dofollow, you are building PRed links back to your own website – they help, in the long run as you’ll gain higher Pagerank and then be able to use that to increase your bank balance (*cough*sknil lles*cough*)  .

Seriously… you’ve taken the time to read the post, right till the bottom… why not comment? By commenting, you’re not only helping yourself (see the high PR links above, and you will also have some clicks sent your way if your comments are interesting/controversial) but also contributing to the blogger by helping him build discussion – s/he sees you comment enough, I guarantee you that they’ll take a look at your website (I visit the websites of all those that comment on TUK, even if they are irrelevant/unrelated… I’ve found some very interesting setups  ), and maybe even become regular visitors/commenters – I cannot count how many people that have visited TUK, told me that they were pleasantly surprised by what they saw and that they had subscribed to the RSS feed – all in exchange for a couple of lines I left on their blogs.

Do I comment on every post I read?

No, of course not. Although I don’t spend my day reading blogs anymore, I do check a few (hundred) of the blogs I like – quite a few of them when I’m just relaxing and don’t have the energy to think of something intelligent (my view is that if you cannot leave something intelligent, do not leave something at all, unless you’re joking around of course)… I also re-visit quite a few blogs not to check up on their new posts, but on their old ones that I found interesting – just to check for updates. I have however left a few comments during the past week, some of which that were left on blogs that I’d never seen before… and the stats definitely have increased (not just unique visitors, but time spent on websites).

Do you want to know the key to commenting?

Don’t hit the A-Lister blogs. The problem is, there are thousands of people looking to spam the A-Lister blogs just for backlinks, so your posts will go unnoticed – sometimes even by the person that runs the blog themselves.

Hit bloggers that are similarly established, or slightly worse/better off – it is they that you can best network with.I will give you a real-life example – Christine Senter. A couple of weeks ago, I had no idea who she was, and I’m pretty sure she knew jack all about TUK – a few comment exchanges later, and I’ve added her to my list of blogs to check up every so often and I’d hope she’s done the same. Another example – Blogger Noob. Actually, I’d known about his blog a long time ago, but never really taken an active interest in it – these days, I comment on a few of his posts when I have time and he reciprocates in kind.

The future of blogging are the little guys. Not the A-listers. It is the people that are plugging away today, not with the thousands of readers – they are the ones that will be big in a few months, a year even… and if you get in early, you can make sure you make the best out of your relationship with them before it is too late. 

By the way, TUK uses dofollow, and you’ll gain nice PR3 backlinks by commenting. Also, with the title of the blog post, how can you not comment? 

Today I met a new guy in person who also is a bit of an online entrepreneur… I spoke to him a bit and he filled me in on how he was making money by combining offline activities with online business – I didn’t listen much in the beginning, as to me working offline sounds a bit too much like your regular day job, but as he filled me in I got more and more interested. My buddy that I spoke with was pulling in around $1000 a week – that’s a small sum for some of you, but for the rest of us… well, that’s more than I make and I certainly wouldn’t mind increasing what I was – the best thing about this is that he spent maybe one hour startup and then fifteen minutes a day after that. By combining online business with offline marketing, he was making a killing, and I’m going to try this out – you can too if you find it interesting 

This is by no means rocket science, but listen anyways  . In the modern world, most large companies have their own website…� there are however quite a few smaller companies, aiming solely at the local market that don’t. These businesses also tend not to really know much about dealing online – all they rely on is word of mouth, advertising through posters/newspapers and getting customers from people that live nearby. This is where you come in. Essentially, here’s how it goes:

1) Set up a website of your own offering web design and logo design. Make sure the domain clearly states what you do (xyzdesign.com) If you can’t design or code, get someone else to do it for you – make sure it looks spectacular, and maybe throw in a bit of CSS/Ajax to awe visitors. Concentrate on the functionality of the website – you don’t have to do rubbish like SEO on it.

2) Get a killer logo done for your website – make sure it relates to design and is memorable. An example of one can be seen below – that’s the logo of the guys that did my header.

3) Once you get the logo done, have flyers made – if you can’t design, again… get someone else to do it. All in all, it should cost you less than $100 USD for the website, around $20 USD for the logo design and maybe $50 USD for a flyer to be created. Say $20 USD in misc fees for a domain and hosting, and you’re looking at around $200 startup.

4) Print those flyers. I took a look at a local printing store and then go at around $0.1 per printout, meaning 100 flyers for $10. Make around 500 of those – $250.00 startup.

5) Open up your local Yellow Pages (or whatever is similar) for business. There should be thousands, if not more companies listed – take a look at them. The ones that have websites will have them prominently displayed; you can safely assume all those without websites listed don’t have them. When you have a list of say 500 companies without websites, you’ll need to write up a small text – this can be done in Microsoft Word.

On this text (you can use a basic outline, and then edit it slightly every time to suit each company) you will need to explain the benefits of having a website, point out competitor websites and list a few facts (stating the $x billion amount of online business that is conducted every year is a good example of one of those). Print these out and attach them to your flyers.

Also mention your pricing… around $500.00 USD per website should be fine.

6) Mail copies of your flyers + email text to each organization. Say you get just a 1% conversion rate – that’s five websites done, and $2500.00 earned. My friend didn’t know how to design or code for nuts (like me  ) so outsourced the work – he started off paying $100/website and eventually worked his way down to $50/website (including the company logo).

Not bad at all, eh? It’s a pretty interesting idea, and it’s definitely working as he’s a live example; anyone know any decent designers or coders? 

7) Extra – he isn’t doing this, but you could, if you decide to make a go of this; obviously companies without a website won’t have hosting. What you can do is get your own high powered dedicated server and offer hosting at $20/month… something that will net you some nice residual income.

I’m thinking of doing this, but rather that contact 500+ companies maybe just take out an ad in the newspaper… it would be slightly more expensive perhaps, but would hit up a larger range of people, quite a few of which may just even want personal websites. What about you?

Membership website

Gaah, my lack of technical prowess is hitting me again – I’ve compiled most of the stuff for the membership website, including five custom written reports that I’ll be giving out with resale rights to everyone that signs up, but I’m having problems with the membership script – it’s giving me errors again and again. If anyone’s good at installing scripts (databases and cron jobs) let me know – I’ll give you free lifetime access if you help me out 

Skype/Google talk

I’m thinking of getting either or, mainly so that I’ll be able to communicate with all the people that are too lazy to type… need to buy a microphone though. I’m thinking of offering limited live support via the two programs for my new membership website (whenever I manage to get it up) as that’s something I haven’t really seen out there. Granted, I’m not subscribed to dozens of membership sites but it is an interesting prospect.

That’s all for today. Hope you found the post about marketing offline somewhat useful 

Thomas Sinfield – Stop Making Excuses. Anyone can blog successfully!

Tom talks about bloggers from all walks of life; yours truly is included, but that didn’t sway my decision to add this post to the list at all  . Many people don’t want to start a blog, not because they don’t have the skills, but because they feel they can’t; take a look at this list, and you’ll see everyone’s doing it- why don’t you start?

Ades Blog – Ten Things You Can Do Today To Kick Start Your Blog’s Growth

Now I only came across this one a couple days ago; I’m glad I did though as it was an interesting read and I will definitely be back for more. This post I chose had ten killer tips on how to get traffic and thus readers to a blog; a few ones that I’ve used in the past, but also some new ones that I’m going to try in the coming weeks.

John Chow – How To Build Your Blog’s Credibility

When talking about building blogs and credibility, John Chow definitely is one of the people in the industry that you should listen to. With earnings of around $23,000 a month from just his blog, he’s one of the leaders in the industry; I found this post on building up a blog’s credibility a good read and hopefully you will too  .

Tyler Cruz – Working Efficiently by Minimizing Distractions

All y’all will know the feeling off putting off work; it’s the same reason why an assignment that I had three weeks to complete ended up being started thirty minutes before it was due and handed in twenty minutes late. Distractions can have a killing effect to being productive, whether it’s the television, your email, your mobile or anything else; Tyler Cruz talks about how you can make the most use out of the time you’re supposed to be spending doing the lovely thing that is work 

John Cow – Buzz Marketing Experiment – RESULTS

While this post was found on John Cow’s blog, it was actually written by guest poster Dean Hunt, who ran a buzz marketing experimental campaign to see how much traffic Digg could bring you. After producing an article that was Dugg a massive 865 times (at this moment in time) in the past few days; it was definitely an interesting post and I’ll be looking to cheat Digg produce an article that’s capable of getting on the front page too; the website actually received 40,000+ uniques as a result of reaching the front page. Not bad at all, eh? 

Gyutae Park – Winning The Web – Eight Reasons You Need a Business Partner

Yes, I know this was supposed to be a list of five, but sue me; Gyutae’s post on eight reasons you need a business partner was perhaps the most interesting one of the lot as business partners have definitely had a positive effect on me. In just the two months I’ve been blundering around trying to make money, I’ve ‘met’ hundreds of people that have had an impact, whether big or small; a few of them I speak with daily and are the first place I go to run one of the many ideas I have by. Business partners can help you from feeling overworked and under-credited to becoming one of the elite teams due to the combination of your skills; read this post to find out why.

Let’s hope y’all found those posts as interesting as I did; once again, earning statistics will be posted up tomorrow. Hopefully I’ll be doing something similar to this post weekly, as there is a wealth of information out there; next time, I promise to keep it to five though. 

Getting comments is something that could kickstart a blog; few people want to be the first to voice their views, but once you have a debate going on any subject, everyone wants to add their $0.02 into the discussion. Now, to start a debate you don’t necessarily have to have the most insightful of posts -although that helps a lot- if you offer something unique, and interesting, people will comment. Here’s five tips for you to boost your comment count.

1) Ask questions

Everyone loves to be asked their opinion on something. Whether it’s the look of a website, the feasibility of an idea or the slating of some c*nt who’s ripped you off a couple bucks, people love to think that their views matter in the world (not saying they don’t, well… maybe  ). Asking questions of your blog readers is always a good way to spark some debate; make sure you ask them questions that are relevant to your blog. Whilst I’m sure the readers of The University Kid all have nice hairstyles, that would not be an appropriate question to ask; a better one would be the ever-unique ‘How Much Money Do You Make Online’ or ‘What Types of Websites Do You Like to Profit With’. Be creative with your questions and you’ll get more replies

2) Be controversial

Now this can get you known as a total c*nt if you do it wrong; do it the right way and you’ll generate a load of buzz. Everyone loves controversy; heck, how many of you have never watched one of those crappy soap operas/teenage dramas? With a controversial view- whether you’re disagreeing with something that everyone else agrees with, or whether you’re slating the views of one of the ‘big names’ in the industry; again, tread lightly here as while people will read your post if they see you calling their favourite blogger an idiot, unless it is extremely well crafted, you’re going to get slated for the next few years and then some.

3) Brag

Heck, this works too… being cocky can either make your readers love you or run away. While I try to be helpful on here, I do have a cocky streak; a pretty misguided one considering my lack of ability in various areas, but it’s fun (at times) to piss people off  . Bragging – whether it’s about the money you make (everyone knows I make millions, right?  ) or about the amount of traffic you got yesterday * cough cough * is a good way to get visitors, as like the controversy, everyone wants to know what everyone else is doing. A post saying someone broke $1000 a day in Adsense, or received one million uniques is naturally going to attract attention, but so is a post saying that you received your highest ever Adsense click ($5.00 for me); stuff like that attracts attention.

4) One of those posts

Do you know the ones I’m talking about? Well, obviously not; but one of those ‘Top Five Ways To’ posts (like this one) are often good for those in the blogging industry; both to read and to write. When most of the points are long-ass essays, or short n sweet (perhaps not sweet  ) ‘list posts’ allow readers to quickly skim and check out the parts they like best; they can then comment on that, rather than having to read a long, chunky post to find the interesting points. For actual bloggers, it’s easier to write one of those, and can be more fun; after writing this one, I’ll hopefully do a lot more in the future.

5) Humour

Last but not least, something that produces laughter in your readers is always good; while there are a few (alright, a couple) serious posts in this blog, I’d hope that you realise this this a friendly community where anything goes. Posts with humour- whether it’s a funny video/picture that you came across, or a conversation that you had with the many Peons who constantly add you on MSN (now that’s not funny at all  ), the aim of a blog should be to please its readers; and laughter does exactly that. Once again, I haven’t really used a lot of picture/video on this blog; I’ll be doing so in the next few weeks though.

That’s all, I’m tired  . You’ve got to remember that I’m a University student and we’re generally lazy; apologies for the lack of attention span. Speaking of University, this student completely screwed up the dates for a Statistics exam which I thought was today; it actually happened yesterday, when I was sitting on my butt at home thinking about the eBook. Yikes! Gotta sort it out, as it’s worth 25% of my total grade. It’s getting to the time to post monthly earnings; I’ll be going full steam ahead to try and earn as much as possible tomorrow so that I have some good statistics to show y’all. Laters! 

One of the most important things that any webmaster must do is check his statistics every so often. Why? Well, they show you whether you’re improving or not- the more people that read your website, the better you’re doing at promoting it, and if even a few of those visitors come back every so often you have a good chance of building up a community, which is one of the most important things if you want to make some cash enjoy blogging and last long in the field. Let’s face it; I wouldn’t blog if no one read what I wrote; even a single comment, whether good or bad inspires me to come back the next day and write (type) about what I feel, how I’m doing and whatnot. The statistics tool I use is Google Analytics; it is the most comprehensive statistical tool out there in my opinion, and best of all… it’s FREE. Coming from an Asian background, that is one of the most important things to me… I’m sure all you cheap bastards out there will agree with me 

Except for a short spell where traffic wasn’t being registered as I removed the code from the sidebar without realizing it (D’oh!), traffic on TUK has generally been pretty constant; it’s started to rise in the last few days, and yesterday’s tally showed up at just five visitors short of 300 for the day. Despite the lack of quality content for a short while as I’ve been busy sitting on my arse with University work, it continues to rise; if this trend keeps going, I’ll be pretty happy with life.

Take a look; 295 visitors yesterday and closing in on 2000 uniques total. Most of the traffic is from the US; I’ll be concentrating on spamming letting a few people from other countries (gotta find them first!) know about the website. Pretty happy, as this continues to rise; apparently FeedBurner has f**ked up and thus you can no longer subscribe by email; subscribe with a reader for now and I’ll use the best of my wonderful technical knowledge to try and fix it.

As for other news on the website, I was thinking of setting up a forum; at the moment, there aren’t really enough visitors and although the cost for the vBulletin license wouldn’t be that much, I think I’ll wait a bit. Might put up one of those kiddy chat boxes though, so you guys can show each other how mature y’all are. We’ll see how it goes in the next couple of days. Still waiting for the eBook page; supposed to be up today but guess what? The designer died again!  To promote it, I’ll use the Digital Point affiliates section; might send a few copies to the ‘big guns’ to see what they think/if they’ll plug it.

Apologies, but this post will be another short n (hopefully) sweet one; I haven’t started on anything for tomorrow, so gotta work work work!

I’ve got a ton of work due on Thursday; can’t wait for the weekend. Included is a Statistics exam worth 25%; a computer project worth the same amount and last but not least an essay for ‘University Life’ worth 30 flippin percent! Considering that at the moment of writing this post I know f**k all about Statistics, still have to get together the final pages for computer and tweak the essay… argh, sounds like work which isn’t really my favourite thing. I seem to have no problem doing something quick when the promise of earning money is involved though; I managed to get the Acne niche website put up, Adsense ads installed and the start of a custom header being created for it. We’ll see how that goes; well hopefully. I don’t really have the time to write the articles, so might get someone else to do it; I do have a nice eBook to package along with the website though meaning that it’ll have two streams of income and thus be easier to sell.

This is the fiftieth post on this blog in quite a short while; hopefully you found a few of them to be quality. Traffic is now at around 200 uniques a day, and I’m hoping to increase that phenomenally so I can sell the site as that would be really nice; lets see how it all goes. RSS feed subscribers are hovering around the 55~ mark; subscribe guys; remember, there’s the chance to win $2000 worth of goodies if you do. Will keep you guys updated; better do some work now

Hope y’all like it. I’ve completed the sales copy for my not-so-free eBook, and will hopefully be getting up the website tomorrow; I want this to be the best and most profitable eBook I’ve ever written, and will even be running an affiliate program that will be the easiest to convert in history. I will let you guys know more about it; don’t worry. It would have been up yesterday, or even the day before that if it wasn’t for my designer dying AGAIN; heck, one more time and I swear I’m going to learn how to do this myself 

I was going to submit the last post (about proxies) to Digg, but Digg isn’t allowing me to login so the whole ‘Digg exchange’ concept wouldn’t really work well. Maybe in the next few days; we’ll see. As for the cash flow, I’ve spent boatloads in the last few days, mainly on the website and accompanying eBook covers; some money is coming in though as I got paid for my SoccerLens writing stint and have just completed a short sales letter for a client (who wants a few more done), so more is coming in than going out. Adsense is earning more than $15.00 a day, and while that’s nice to have as I don’t have to work for it at all; one guy off Digital Point earned $1000 off Adsense yesterday, so there is plenty of room for improvement. $30000 a month off just Adsense alone… I think that’d be enough to retire, don’t you?  Because of that success story, I’ll be looking into creating a few MFA websites; perhaps acne would be a good place to start as a couple amigos have websites about it + I have a ready made eBook to sell. We’ll see how it goes.

Bit of a nothing post, but I have a couple coming along in the pipeline; I learned yesterday that John Chow does accept guest posts (I’d presume they do have to be exceptional though) so I’ll think of sending one in. Other than that, I’m also thinking of starting a small forum for this website; how successful that would be remains to be seen though, especially as there are only a couple hundred visitors a day. I did some work today on the website, which is why this post came so late; I added an ‘Advertise’, and ‘About/Hire Me’ page, which is always important to have. Who wants to be first to hire The University Kid to do some work? 

More tomorrow
