Lets cut the SH*T. REAL monetizing methods TRIED and TESTED by YOU.

I sold some baseball cards a friend didn't need anymore. He had like three boxes full, managed to get them appraised driving 20 miles to the country. One of them was genuinely autographed and I managed to make $2.5k of that and all those cards. Me and my family were living in debt so that's what I used the money for. To top it all off I was desperate for money so I was doing real deep blackhat shit on underground forums, made me $7k.(not saying to do it.) and wasting some money buying e-books on HF and some guaranteed to work pyramid schemes.

It's crazy how things given free to you and things around you are worth a pretty penny.

Three different authors, one is still here and is a massive EBook seller, one is closed and the other forgot.

What happened:

Book was about a shitty article writing guide to make money with article websites by basically plagiarising other peoples EBook and posting it on there.

Did it work?
No. You get banned for plag before you get paid and they're only looking for subjects absolutely nobody writes or looks into.

Curtains close, the method was absolutely terrible.

Book 2.
Book about getting an adfoc link or something like that and submitting it onto view websites that you spend several hours using to get points.

Did it work?
0.15$ in three days.

Didn't even think about wasting an entire month on it.

Book 3 about Sierra Echo - Engineering socially.
Gave me a cracked program and whole book was illegal activities.

Friend of mine who'd done this before stopped me.

Stopped looking at eBooks, started working; I'm a manager and I've been given the BMW X1.

I want to make this clear to everyone on here. Advancing your IRL career should come before anything your trying to do with online monetizing. This is a really good point. Very few people actually make anywhere near enough to live off by monetizing online.

This reminds me of a few methods I have read. There are some sites like freecycle where people are just looking to get rid of stuff for free. If you can drop on some decent stuff you can sell it on for a profit.

You would make a little cash from this. But its not scalable. There is only a small number of folk trying to get rid of stuff for free and plenty of wheeler dealers trying to get their grubby little mits on it.

The best methods are sophisticated or original. If everyone could do it they would be doing it.


Before I go on I'd like to point a few things out.

1. You can probably make a little cash eWhoring. Are you going to make any serious cash? probably not. It would involve fleecing someone else out of it and that increases your chances of getting caught.

2. There are techniques regarding providing services for cash. Gameservers/Web Hosting etc. Most Web hosters you find on here will probably tell you in the beginning its relatively easy cash. But once you have lots of users and sh*t starts going wrong its easily more trouble than its worth. Will you get rich from it? NO.

OK. My first thoughts on Magic's ebook.

1. Although I have read similar ebook's, his idea IS at least original. I haven't read this exact method anywhere else.

2. I have never used the service described in the ebook so can't comment on its efficacy.

3. I am actually in a really good position to try this method, given that I was a DJ for a long time.

This method might be extended to other services should they appear.

Not calling B*LLSHIT on this one because I honestly can't call whether or not it will work.

The fairest way to judge this is for me to actually try the method and report back. Something I shall be doing.

There are a few cracks I can see in the method. If you are getting paid per click, chances are you aren't getting paid a lot and I'm not convinced the traffic is there. If you are using PPD, you have to either:

A: Upload copyrighted material, which will see you getting banned.

OR

B: Not give the user exactly what they were expecting from the download, which will also see you getting banned.

Are you gonna get rich from Magic's method? No. Does it generate some cash? Probably

------

OK. I just spent 2 hours setting up Magic's method. Time will tell if it works or not.

In the mean time LETS GET SOME HQ SHIT GOING DOWN
OP asked how I made my 1550€ in one month :)

It's quite simple. Once there was a User here on HF selling Spotify Premium Codes!
I bought a lot of codes from him and sold them as accounts on eBay. I started to sell for 30€ and then went up to 45€.

Since I boughz a lot of him he always gave me a dicount and I made pretty descent money!

But for my fucking luck I got scammed for over 600€.. here on HF and partially on HF.

Now I am still selling accounts for 50€ but the method that the user used is fixed by Spotify so I wont sell them anymore when mine are all used.

Yep thats my method. Pretty simple but also sad :(

At the moment I try to make some money from my pornsite^^ and I am building a streaming site for tv shows in hd^^

Hope I can make some money out of Them


ACTUALLY the best method on how to get rich is quite simple!

1. Sign Up on Hackforums and be a HQ user. Post stuff, ask stuff, make friends, buy an account upgrade etc.

2. Gain Reputation

3. Buy one physical item. (sth. that cant be banned but is still expensive)

for example: graphic cards, cpus, etc.

4. Now make a thread in the forums' marketplace and sell this item 10%-20% discount. Say you got 20 because you bought them in bulk. People will buy this stuff because its cheap. The first one will get his item, the other one will be scammed^^.

5. You made a lot of money.

OR even better!!

Instead of selling items, just offer currency exchange. At first be nice etc. and if anyone wants to exchange big money scam them^^

Both happened to me and both worked! So actually go try it yourself^^ lol
these bitches who scammed made a lot of money and I dont even had a chance to get my money back.

(thats just fun lolololololololo (the first thing^^

but i actually really got scammed)
@CatDoge

LOL. I like that fact that you just say whatever the f*ck you want. I'm not too convinced more scammers on HF is a good thing though. I kinda like this place and the main thing that ruins it are the scammers.

What you described is essentially the fundamentals of a Ponzi scheme.

For anyone who is unfamiliar with such, it proceeds thusly. You claim in some form or another to be able to make someone cash/profit.

In it simplest form, lets say you offer to take someones money and give them it back a few days later plus an extra 5%, guarenteed. One person trusts you and gives you the money. In the mean time, a second person also trusts you and gives you their money. You use the money from the second person to make up the 5% for the first person and give them their money back plus 5%.

Now the first person vouches that you delivered on your deal, and more people start giving you their money. You continue to take money from one person to make up the money you owe to other people until eventually, you are in possession of a HUGE amount of cash belonging to LOTS of people.

At this point you pull the plug and disappear with everyones cash.

I'm pointing this out to you so that you don't get stung by this method in one form or another. If something looks too good to be true, it almost always it.

This is the idea behind virtually ALL buxsites you see online. They build up their trusted user base then disappear with everyone's investment.

The only one I have come across which didn't do this was neobux, and neobux, 2 years in, cut its payments to its users who lost a SH*T LOAD of cash in order to continue operating.

@CatDoge - thanks for sharing your honest trading story.

MORE TRUE STORIES PLEASE.
Alright fuckers, looks like this thread could be the shit if no other eBook sellers raid it, so let me shed some light.

First of all I'd like to thank the OP and others who have posted useful content in this thread. This is what a monetizing section of a forum should be about, not a place for eBook sellers and referral beggars.

Now, about eBook sellers:

I was both a seller and a buyer. You can guess which side made me money.

Buying eBooks on HF and many other forums is a waste of money. I think we all realize that by now. But once upon a time, I didn't. I bought quite some, and made nothing, literally. All of the threads were stylish, full of proof and praises, guarantees, etc. But still - nada. And that's the point of those threads, to get you to buy the product. After that, no one gives a shit, and because of it, you will forget about the eBook in a week. If you're stupid you'll buy another, if you learned your lesson, you won't.

I mean, just go to the Deal Dispute section and see how many threads are there about eBooks. Whether it's the method not working, no promised refund or help or something else. It's because the sellers don't give a shit about their users once they bought the eBook. They just go onto another batch of users and sell it to them.
And it's a GREAT business model. I mean, fuck, look at how many eBook sales threads are there each week. And most of them sell at least some. The ones that are sticky always have 20+ pages.

People are always complaining about the eBooks, but those same eBooks get sold each day. It's just what the HF users (mainly noobs) are used to, and it works. Partially because most of them are underage kinds just getting into IM, and partially because there's a steady stream of new users each day. So there's always a bigass customer base.

So we are getting to my first method.

Write an eBook. It can be total shit. Pay someone 15$ to create you a sales thread and signature. Promise thousands, refunds, bonuses, blah blah. Get a stick in this section. Offer free copies to people who wear your signature or something. Profit. Rinse and repeat, and don't just stick to HF. This method works, and there's proof all over this forum.

Oh, oh, oh, before we go further, I just remembered something. A bunch of people were saying that you should buy eBooks for the information and guidance.

FUCK THAT.

I spent at least a year browsing random forums including HF, buying eBooks and products. Want to know how much I made? Almost nothing. Want to know how much I learned? Only not to buy eBooks.
On the other hand, once I started doing something, I made money the same week and within that first week learned more than I did when I was buying eBooks.

Which gets me to my next point.

Real moneymaking:

The only way of making money is to sell something. It can be an eBook, a service, ad space, traffic, time, whatever. I even wrote an eBook on this and I sold a few copied right here at HF lol.

Also, in the past I wanted to do what the OP is doing right now - make this section worth something. So I made some threads that could be useful and relevant to this discussion, have a look:

How to ACTUALLY make money || THE Monetizing Technique [Guide in the thread]

Avoid These 4 Mistakes in your Online Moneymaking Career || Beginner DELUSIONS

SalesBooster || Increasing your sales performance [FREE GUIDE IN THREAD]

Let me tell you what's stopping you from making money...and how to get rid of it.


I really suggest you to read that. I did write that when I was less experienced than now, but still, it could be an eye-opener. And it probably contains more useful info than any eBooks lo, aaand it's freel. I'm not saying this to praise myself, but to show the irony (and sadness, actually).

Alright now, methods!

1# Learn some shit and sell it.

Learn coding, designing, playing guitar, fixing computers, drawing, whatever. In the world of today, everything will find a buyer.

Here's something to get you started:

https://imgur.com/gallery/iCAe0
https://imgur.com/gallery/iT5l7

2# Make a website.

I cannot express the importance of this. Get a hosting, a domain, and create a blog. It can be about anything, moneymaking, fitness, fishing, Android devices, whatever you like. After a month or two of publishing content, you will be able to put up some ads and start advertising. I guarantee that you will make at least something. And it can be scaled as much as you want.

You will need an audience, so start social network accounts, register on related forums, etc. Learn about SEO, inbound marketing, A/B testing, etc., etc.

This post is a clustefuck, and I'm sorry about that. I'll try to create separate, informative posts/threads about legitimate methods, as I really can't go in depth like this. But at least I hope you learned something. :)

Sales ending tomorrow, last copy only 7 dollars?

The ways some EBook sellers advertise is absolutely disgusting and "ending soon my ass".

Aside from that, I did have one EBook that worked and got me the promised pay.

It's still in the market but I absolutely refuse to name it.
EBooks to me have 3 different kinds:

The ones with the flashy text that absolutely will not work.
The small ones that won't work and the author is desperate to profit out of an EBook.
The small ones that will work but nobody has heard of.

There was a book I did find, had no more than three vouches and had no more than 5 pages in the thread.

There were about 4 posts questioning the book due to "Hurr durr no vouches can you provide proof" but someone drew me to the book.

I did buy it, and it worked; I made my money.
Did exactly what it said on the tin.

What happened?
Nothing. I got a better paying job and I had other things to take up my time.

Some other notes:
A lot of the free eBooks (yeah, those ones) have made more money than the paid (1 dollar vs 15 cents) but using an EBook for your finances is stupid; get a job and a stable money flow going before you spend time on an EBook.

I can tell you, from my extensive experience, this is definitely the way forward in online monetizing.

It has everything going for it:

-Scalability
-Longevity
-Legitimacy

Still open to methods you think are valid. KEEP EM COMING PEOPLE.

Correct. 🤝

I forgot to mention the most important thing, at least for me.
Work with someone experienced. People who have the experience can give you great advice and insight, prevent you from making mistakes and motivate you.

Meeting my current partner was the best thing that happened to me in IM.
Thank you for the informative thread

Right on!

Learning to create websites and the internals of web developing can earn you true money due to the growth of the Internet and business opportunities.

This is an awesome thread, keep up the good work!
I have a very easy method for everyone! I made this one time and it worked good for me!

At first you need a payoneer or paxum account which is legit^^
Verify it etc.

Then sign up on chaturbate. Now grab a Omegle Spreader or sth. else and spread your "free affiliate link" everywhere you can. you get 1$/signup. you can try to signup using proxies but i never tested it.

at my first time i made around $20-$30/day with some work^^

stopped when reached $100 to cashout and i got it^^

try it youself and invent your own methods on this basis!

profit!

they added i gave them my link, they signed up and then i blocked them :D
____

but no shit what i honestly hate are ebooks that say "no ppd/cpa" or "no dropshipping" "no ebay" and when you ask "does it involve amazon" they say they will contact you soon and will forget you

Once I bought an ebook and this bitch of a user it said "no dropshipping" but it was dropshipping.

such scam. not very wow. sad


BTW

Ebookseller should not post here and should not advertise!
(Aug 14, 2014 06:47 AM)CatDoge™ Wrote:  BTW

Ok, I agree with this.

From now on no ebook sellers leeching into the thread. Lets keep it to the original topic of what you have personally tried and are willing to post for free as a normal f*cking post.
The method in my sig works. I have a thread with proof of payments. No eBooks. If you have 5 minutes, check it out.
