First of all, I'd like to thank you for doing the almost unspeakable thing of posting a GENUINE monetizing experience in the monetizing section.
Seems like your story is similar to a lot of my stories. Putting in hard graft to achieve results is only worth it if the cash continues to flow in. A lot of methods work initially until they get noticed by whomever is providing your traffic/cash, at which point they pull the plug and you have put a few weeks effort in for maybe only a few weeks of cash. When you go back and work it out you have earned very little for your time.
@EVERYONE ELSE
MORE HQ STORIES PLEASE
No problem man. I'll think of some other stories I can share, and post em later today If I can remember.

You do know, you skipped some of the questions that 53M4PH0R3 asked you, right?
Your sales thread states that for one hour's work I can make $100, $200 a week. Is this literally one hour per week or one hour per day?
who are you aiming your method at? Is this a method for people who are too young to get a job?
Did you make $200 a week with only 1 hour of your time? Can you prove it?
Does your method include this or any particular level of skill?
You said you can make at least $100 a week, but what about your buyers, who bought the method?
Anyway, didn't mean to get inbetween you two talking about your method.

So true to my word I just splashed out the WHOPPING $15.99 for your 6 page ebook (should have been called eParagraph because the writing could have fit onto a single page). Here is my review. ARE YOU FOR F*CKING REAL?
I could write a thousand and one ebooks just like your ebook pointing out a thousand and one items you could try this with, NONE OF THEM MAKING ANY KIND OF PROFIT WHATSOEVER. People who are fully qualified to do what you are suggesting TRY and FAIL TO MAKE A LIVING FROM IT.
I have a PhD in Electrical & Electronic Engineering and the charging socket once went on my laptop. The part was £12 and was a simple fix. Did I do it myself? FUCK NO. I walked to the nearest computer shop and coughed up £40 for them to fix it. You know why? Coz if they F*CK it up they're insured. If I get knocked with my soldering iron and make contact with the motherboard or a million and one other things that can go wrong I'm out a £1000 laptop.
There are so many things that could go wrong with your method that only a f*cking idiot would even attempt it.
The only person who is ever going to make money from your ebook is you. YOU are one of the reasons NOBODY is making any money from the HF Monetizing Section and as such I'm calling B*LLSHITER.
Tell me, seen as your making $100 with only your hands in 15-30 minutes, I can point out items with much higher margins. If I point them out in a 6 page ebook will you cough up back my $15.99 for it?
Be honest with me now . . . Are you 12?

I really like this thread. I just wanted to let you know I keep reading it every time I see a new post. At the moment I'm not really in the mood of sharing bad past experiences (expecially because none of them is significant), however I will definetly try to put some memories together in the near future. More threads should be like this. So, well: thanks OP.

1: It all depends on how fast you can work. On my thread it also says "This is not auto-pilot and the profit all depends on you" I can do it in about 15-30 minutes which leaves me with a profit of around $150. The more money you invest the more you will have to work the more profit you will have. This is no hard work and pretty easy ;)
2: My methode is for everyone, like I said it's an hobby were you can make a decent amount of money with.
3: Yes I made around $200 with only 30 minutes of work, I cannot show you proof but you can't understand that until you read the Ebook because the money was paid in cash.
4: It involves a little bit of skills but there are tutorials for that.
5: I've had my first sale about an hour ago so I'm waiting on the customers. This is pretty hard to explain if you don't read the ebook.

Why are you talking about laptops? Laptops are pretty hard to fix so I don't know why you are mentioning that.
No where did I mention in my ebook anything about soldering, there is nearly nothing that could go wrong. You didn't even try it so why are you complaining?
I know a few guys (IRL) that didn't know nothing about it and they never fucked up anything because you have to search for the right one like I mentioned in my Ebook.

1. The Method
Got some facebook accounts, went to stellar website and registered on tor with each facebook account, and each time you register, you get stellars and you then exchange them for bitcoins.
2. Did it work
Like a charm I made 20$ in a couple of minutes :D, and I still can, but believe me or not i'm really lazy.

If you look at the reviews you can see that the ebook is NOT shit. He is saying things that are not even mentioned in the ebook. So I'm not avoiding anything here.

I used to know someone who bought pallets full of electrical returns from catalog retailers. He got the pallets cheap enough that the sh*t that didn't work he just threw away. The sh*t that he plugged in and they functioned he took to markets and sold them. The profit he made from a single pallet was enough pay for three adults a two week holiday abroad.
That was 15 years ago. You couldn't do the same thing today. I know . . . I worked in a returns dept for one of the largest electronics retailers in the UK for 2 years and was tasked with testing all of the items that were returned.
There are countless shops in my area where you can take your shit to get repaired. They do exactly what you say in your ebook and charge you the cost of parts plus a labor charge of maybe £15. They accept such a low amount because they have mitigated the risk of the item being faulty other than what you have specified. They agree to fit the part, after that its your responsibility. If it works it works, if it doesn't they don't care, they already have your money and delivered what they said.
People online who try to sell faulty equipment, telling you "The only thing wrong with this item is xyz" are generally full of sh*t. How do they even know that's the only thing wrong with it? If they were good enough to give that estimation they'd be good enough to fix it themselves.
If you do what you say in your ebook and either of the people you are buying from are misrepresenting what they're selling in the slightest, you're out a large amount of cash and there is nothing you can do about it because you cant prove the damage wasn't caused by yourself until you have finished.
So lets go back to my original questions and give the REAL answers we have determined in the past 2 hours.
HAVE I COME ACROSS THIS METHOD BEFORE: I have just told you i knew someone 15 years doing what your ebook says (albeit in one form or another) AND I have told you that they can no longer do it because there is no money in it.
HAVE YOU MADE ANY MONEY FROM IT: You said YES. THEN you said you had just made your first sale and were looking for other customers. How can you guarantee the profit you stated when you, yourself, have made but a single sale?
You also said your method is unsaturatable. If everyone was trying to do it, they couldn't make any money from it as they would be competing with everyone else trying to do it. By its very definition, that's a saturatable method.
The only way you could make anything with what you have said is if you have some kind of contract with a retailer who can guarantee what you are receiving is of a repairable quality.
Trust me, I am THE MOST qualified person on this forum to pass judgement on what I read in your ebook and it wont work. It'll be more trouble than its worth. AND the people on here looking to monetize are not looking to, nor are they qualified to do what you ebook is asking them to do.
NOW. BEFORE THIS THREAD GETS DRAGGED INTO THE GUTTER. LEAVE IT THERE AND LETS GET BACK TO YOUR HQ EXPERIENCES WITH ONLINE MONETIZING.

I'm only talking about a specific item in the ebook that you have to repair, nothing else. I just said that some people I know IRL have never done anything like this before and always end up with a nice profit. So it does not require any skills whatsoever. Did I fuck up the first time I did this? Not at all, how much do I make from one fix? About $150 - $200.

Dude, the fact that its even POSSIBLE to fuck up what your talking about and lose several hundred dollars should be ringing alarm bells that its not a good idea. The risk far outweighs the possible reward.
I have nothing further to say other than the fact that I have a Nexus 5 that I dropped. Its £145/$250 plus shipping if your interested. That's inline with current prices. If your not interested I would be much obliged if you stopped posting on my HQ thread.
NOW, MORE ACTUAL MONETIZING EXPERIENCES PLEASE. ALL THE FOLK THAT PROMISED REAL MONETIZING EXPERIENCES GET WRITING.

Already bought a nexus 5 a few days ago for much less then your offer. I don't know why you keep saying there is alot of risk because it's not. I've done this alot of times without fucking up once.

We used to have a saying on this forum a long time ago. Goes like this. Prove it or it didn't happen.
BACK TO THE ACTUAL THREAD
There are people on this forum who have made a shit load of money from various different monetizing methods who I have met over the years I have been here.
I'm gonna throw caution to the wind and drop some names in the hope that I can provoke them into giving maybe a little overview of how they did what they did.
These are two people who made money by aiding people to make money:
RadarX: I don't know whether RadarX is still on here or what happened to him. The last time I spoke to him he was making quite a bit of cash. Of course, Radar created FI. I can see FI is still live but haven't followed the fortunes of the of venture for some time. If one of you know him give him a poke to the thread.
The second I have already mentioned:
SpK: Created some of the finest botting software I have ever used. I heard through various whispers he was contacted by YouTube to bot VEVO vids and made a pretty penny selling botting services.
http://readwrite.com/2013/01/28/youtube-bot-vevo-videos-lady-gaga-spk
I'll see if I can get him over here.
If you know any other success stories forward them over.
OK, I'll go ahead with another method I tried with some success:
------
Method 3.
The Ad Jack
During my time getting wordpress plugins from Strider, I was sent a simple stock plugin that automated the placement of adsense ads on wordpress installations. It was pretty simple. You installed the plugin then were presented with a simple form to enter your adsense ID number and dictate where you wanted the ads to appear and what size ads you wanted.
On the back end, the adsense ID was pulled as a variable from the settings stored in the database gathered from the user by the aforementioned configuration form. The plugin itself was a bit amateur so I thought I would update it. This I did. But decided I would add in a new feature.
This feature used a psuedo-random number generator to exchange the user entered adsense ID with my adsense ID for a small percentage of the page views. (<=5%) 👍
Think about it. If folk were installing a plugin just to place adsense ads on their blogs :-
1. They didn't know how to code, its the simplest html that even google makes every effort to provide you. The difficulty is in finding where you place the code within the wordpress installation to get the ad placing right on the different types of wordpress pages.
2. Chances are they had just got adsense and had no idea how many impressions/clicks they were going to get AND THUS, were unlikely to notice <=5% of their impressions/clicks were going astray.
3. Even if they looked at the source code once run, they only had a 1 in 20 chance of catching the wrong adsense ID in action. Most people after a new installation check everything is working, then once they are satisfied are unlikely to quibble if they have proven to themselves it was functioning correctly originally.
20 plugin installations and you were making the same amount as a full blog without anyone being the wiser . . . .
Naturally I put this addition into the small print terms and conditions of the plugin. You know, the kind that everyone reads . . . 🤫
DID IT WORK?
Yes, for a short period of time.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Unfortunately, my adsense account was terminated in the mean time through method 1. I am convinced that these days this method would not work. Google would notice that a small fraction of your traffic was being run through another adsense account and probably inform you.
Know a platform where the ad placing is automated via code? This method will probably work somewhere else, just no longer with adsense and wordpress.
------
INB4 "YOU CRAFTY B*STARD". I WANT SOME OF YOUR STORIES NOW MOFO'S.

The moment you realize how much you are loosing your time.
Definetly time for a sigarette. Maybe staring outside and considering the fact that for the last couple of days you actually forgot that real people are making real money out of the fog of the monetizing techniques section.
Well, it's the second time today I say this, but really thank you OP.
