So I have been away from the forum for a while. I come back and see the same goddamn SH*T happening in the monetizing section.

"Make $300/day using this method. Cannot be saturated. Guaranteed or money back"

YAWNFEST! Lets have some home truths. The only people making money from paid ebooks are the ebook sellers. And after paying for the advertising, spending the time to write the ebook then dealing with all the whining customers who are making jack shit, its not worth it. ANYBODY can write a crock of shit ebook, get a handful of members to vouch then sit back and make a few hundred bucks. A FEW HUNDRED BUCKS IS F*CK ALL. Trust me, I know folk buying Ferrari's with money they make online and they'd rather stick their balls in a beartrap then tell you how they are doing it. They WILL NOT be telling you in a $50 ebook.

We want to know the methods YOU, PERSONALLY, have actually tried, however simple or sophisticated and whether they worked or not.

If people post HONEST information on this thread it might actually turn out to be a treasure trove of innovation and ideas.

If you post a load of BULLSH*T saying you made X amount of cash and to buy your ebook/method without any backstory or evidence whatsoever, I'm gonna go straight to your sales thread (or worse) and write "BULLSH*TTER" along with a link to your post on this thread. SPAM your sh*t elsewhere. And trust me, I have been doing this a long time and can sniff out a liar like a fart in an elevator. Downright COMMON SENSE and EXPERIENCE will tell us whether or not you made any money from your method, not photoshopped paypal screendumps.

Ok. Now that's over with I will graciously go first with a couple of stories. I suggest we structure the posts as thus:

1. The Method
2. Did it work
3. If not, in your opinion, why did it fail

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Method 1.
Lost in Translation

Some time ago I met a guy on here through a currency exchange deal called Strider. Naturally we started talking and it came up that I had a bit of experience with coding wordpress plugins. Strider enjoyed fishing through several monetizing forums and picking up plugins. It therefore fell into place that he would send the more interesting snippets he found over to me to verify they did indeed do what they said and that they functioned with the latest versions of wordpress. A few of them piqued my interest and I formulated a plan on exactly how they could be combined to be monetized. Here is what I did:

I registered 6 domain names with TLD suffixes for different countries.
I got some reseller hosting, created 6 different wordpress installations and updated the nameservers.
I installed a plugin that would pull the stories from any RSS feed indicated.
I installed a plugin that would alter certain words and restructure the grammer of the story.
I installed a plugin that would run the story through google translate to match the story to the language of the TLD country.
This would then be posted on the site. The scripts would do this automatically about 10 times an hour.

Naturally, to get fresh content that traffic was looking for, I used news RSS feeds. The result was technically unique content in 6 different languages.

DID IT WORK?

Yes, for a short period of time. I ran the 6 sites for 6 weeks and the traffic was growing exponentially. The Japanese site was extremely popular and received almost the same amount of traffic as the remaining 5 sites. On the day that Steve Jobs died, the news was pulled and posted on to my sites and I made over £60 ($100) in one day, doing absolutely nothing, purely through genuine adsense clicks. Were the sites still running, I would probably now be driving a Ferrari (When I wasn't in my Lamborghini).

SO WHAT HAPPENED?

PANDA. This was done a few years ago when Google started gearing up their quality control. Although Google couldn't really call the sites LQ (as of course it would mean accepting that their translate app was poor), they stated that the functioning of the sites violated their Translate service TOS. I have no doubt in my mind that had this been running a few years before, I would have made a sh*t load of cash from this method before Google terminated my adsense account. Sh*t Happens.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Method 2.
The Break In

I was reading around the forum some time ago and formulated an idea based on several popular topics in discussion. The idea revolved around driving traffic through a survey gateway to unlock access to a website. Obviously the money was generated by the completed surveys. The trick was locking a website people were eager to access and matching the desires of the traffic to the site. So here is what I did:

I decided it would probably be best to target younger internet users as they would be more likely to complete the surveys. So I created two websites. The first was a fully functioning mockup of a celebrity agents website. This is a website that holds the contact information of a wide variety of celebrities and they are used by agents to contact known persons with job offers (These sites do actually exist). I hosted it on simple onshore hosting and it looked pretty kosher, even if I do say so myself.

The second website was a simple deface page. The page claimed to belong to a renowned hacker group claiming to have hacked into the celebrity database. The page contained several "proofs" backed up with "evidence" and obviously the survey portal to the members only section of the celebrity site.

But wait, there's more. . . . . .Such a break in would be high profile and a simple cursory internet search should corroborate the event, right? One of the methods I had championed myself in gaining backlinks was a way of writing a few articles and submitting them to 20 or so syndicated news sites. I called it the PR Backlink Method. It takes about 2 hours to do it properly but the stories get syndicated to over a million sites in less that four weeks. Naturally, I wrote articles about the break in and spammed the net with news myself. If you typed the unique names of either the celebrity database or deface page in google you would get page after page of results corroborating the event and linking back to the deface page.

So now that's set, what about the traffic?

This was the era when SpK was selling his YouTube botting wares (Its was decent sh*t at the time I might add). Naturally I purchased the software and got some YT accounts. I then created comments on popular music vids (Justin Bieber and the like) pointing out the break in and thumbed up the comments with the accounts. (This was nowhere near as widespread when I was doing this as it is now). The result, younger internet users checking the net to validate the story, then completing the surveys.

DID IT WORK?

Yes, for a short period of time. People did the surveys and I cashed in.

SO WHAT HAPPENED?

This was a dark time for getting YT accounts. Folk were selling YT accounts to one person and then reselling exactly the same accounts to several other people. This resulted in them lasting maybe a day if you were lucky before they were deleted by YT, AND they were LQ accounts at that. People on here were also scamming the f*ck out of other users over the YT accounts. Charging and not delivering on the accounts. One member tried this on me and scammed me for $20 or so. Given that I have been doing this shit for a LOOOONNNGGG time I found him online IRL in less than an hour and decided to be the bigger person after discovering his young age and leave it be. Had he tried this with some of the other experienced members of this forum he would probably have been explaining to his parents why people were paying for their Monte Carlo poolside Pina Coladas with his parents card details. YT was also getting wise and removing the accounts faster and faster. As such, it became more costly to obtain the accounts than what was being made by the surveys and the method became unprofitable.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have more methods I have used which I shall add when more people contribute to this thread. Now its your turn. REAL STORIES. NO BULLSH*T.

"can sniff out a liar like a fart in an elevator. " - hehe, made me chuckle.

But in all seriousness... I tried clickbank and youtube at one point in time. I was reading a journey thread on BHW, and it re-sparked my interest in clickbank a year ago. I've known about it for a while, but never really tried it because when I went to sign up, they asked for my address and shit. At that time I was just looking for quick signup sites, that would rake in some decent cash. (Stupid, i know.)

Fast forward a bit. I gave it a try. Did some keyword research which I thought was good, and made a video which I also though was good. Boy was I wrong. It was my first try at Video Marketing and SEO. Naturally, I got a lot of shit wrong. Keyword research, the actual video (script writing and shit), Backlinks and SEO, etc. So I ended up deleting the video and trying again.

I made my first REAL video this time, that actually brought in sales. Re-worked my script, and hired someone on fiverr to act it out for me. Much better than recording your voice with a shitty mic, and having a powerpoint slideshow, trust me. The main thing I didnt know before I got started, was script writing. Its the most important part when doing Video Marketing and Clickbank. No matter how good of keywords you got, if your video is shit, it WILL NOT convert. So before I even made my video, I spunt a good amount of time re-doing and writing my script. Made 3 different versions of it, before I went ahead and bought the fiverr gig.

Uploaded it, made my description, etc, all the good on page seo shit. Bought some views, likes, subs, etc. Then afterwords, I did offpage seo. Backlinks and shit. Link Pyramids, Blog Posts, Web 2.0s, the usual shit to rank a video on google. After about a week, I was ranking for my keywords, and made some money. Ended up making $140 the first day I got sales (But that was because I bought views and surprisingly they converted a bit [which never really happens when buying views]). Fast forward a little bit, and things were going good. Made a sale or two here and there.

Made another video, and got that one uploaded as well. Ended up making around $200 a month. Little more, little less here and there, but hey I was banking with only 2 videos.

So what happened?

Well, around the time I decided to make a 3rd video. I noticed my first video was dropping in the rankings both on youtube and google. So i decided to give it a kick start and buy some views. Big mistake. At that same time, yt updated their shit, and that video got removed. So did my 3rd video when I bought views for it as well. My 2nd video wasnt performing as good as my first, so I'm not making much money right now.

(Recent Earnings, and first payment proofs)


The fact that youtube is targeting view sellers, means that its getting even more risky to buy views. Keep in mind, this all happened to me earlier this year, and late last year. But does that mean I quit? No. I'm gonna get back into Video Marketing after I get some shit worked out. But yea. Theres a good solid method/story for yah.

EDIT: I earned over $2K with clickbank since I started last September, and really once I got the videos up and ranked, it was all auto-pilot. Besides a little management here and there (removing bad comments, buying more backlinks here and there, etc). But wheres that money now? Gone. Reminder for all IM's: Spend what you need to spend to get yourself further in progress, and save the rest of the paycheck. (Or save 70%, spend 30%)

Damn my nigguh you certainly went out of your way in this one, Very detailed!

@Oblivion

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

nice thread sir a lot of guys out here are greedy...

I bought an eBook on here about drop shipping that claimed you could make $11k a month by drop shipping on eBay , but the seller mislead all his buyers and only showed the sales amount, not the actual PURE profits. The thing is with drop shipping, the listing fees bite you in the ass and drop your pure profits to PENNIES, when you think you'll be making $10 or $15 extra on a sale. The only way to make a decent amount of money on there, if by going BIG, and you have to have deep pockets for that, because also, your funds aren't available immediately until you are an Above Average Seller or Top Seller, and it takes 3+ months and a certain amount of sales to make it to that point. It's not worth the work for those small profits.

When it got time to selling, there were Way too many people doing the exact same thing as I was. After a while on HF you learn a lot, and I learned to never buy eBooks anymore and exactly as everyone says "why share your supposive gold mine" for a measly $30

But anyways, right now, I'm working with CPALead and CrakRevenue, I'm going to seriously start grinding tomorrow morning

Yer, I don't know ANYONE who has made ANYTHING from drop shipping.

CUTTING THE SH*T ONCE AGAIN, HERE IS HOW ALL EBOOKS LAND ON HF.

1. People think "F*ck, I've bought all these ebooks and made f*ck all from the methods inside them. Looking back, the only people who made money is the people who sold me the ebooks. I know what I'll do. I'll outline the methods I've bought in another ebook, take out some advertising and sell it to the next schmuk that comes along."

OR

2. People think "F*ck, I've tried all these ebooks and the methods are about as useful as a condom machine at a Cliff Richard concert. I might as well do the old 'PM me and I'll send you this awesome method' malarky and will probably get some +rep."

I can tell you now, any money I have made online has been through the number 2's. They send out the method thinking it is useless, which in its current form it is. But they have overlooked a different way it could be run, or something new comes out and reinvigorates the method and there is lots of money to be made.

SOME COME ON, SHARE YOUR OLD STORIES. MAYBE WE CAN GIVE YOU SOME IDEAS.

I remember back in the day when eBaY was actually good. In its initial incarnation it was a great way to get an extra income. High street and small businesses that were struggling were completely turned around by starting eBaY stores and selling their goods online with little effort.

But it has gone like everything else. A listing fee + 10% commission is downright ridiculous. Take it from someone who was involved in the upper echelons of the retail industry for a few years. If you walk in to a consumer electronics high street retailer, the average margin on anything you pick up off the shelves is 19%. They have to pay rent, business rates, staff wages, storage, logisitcs . . . . eBaY pays f*ck all and gets nearly the same percentage.

Paypal was the same. It was awesome when it first started then it went like everything else. All the crims seeped out of the woodworks and tried f*cking paypal over. Whatever paypal tells you, independent research shows that 1 in 10 card transactions run through paypal are fraudulent. That's an insane statistic. So what does paypal do? Increase its fees on its normal rule abiding users to account for the money it loses in chargebacks.

When eBaY and paypal joined it just created one giant f*cked up mess. Unless you're some kind of mass distributor of goods/services, eBaY just isn't really a viable option to profit anymore.

Very informative thread. Good stuff here. Keep it coming!

[SIM-1939868]

Yeah very informative, seems that all eBooks don't work.

I knew all about ebay + paypal
Here is the point that why i'm interested in that method
1.Amazon do the free delivery in my country (Anywhere)
2.There is Paisapay instead of Paypal 🤗

Hitleap King's Money Making Ebook:

Yes it works, it's an unique Ebook that no one has ever seen. It is unsaturable and it includes online and offline work. You are the "boss" of your own so you can choise how much you make and when you make it.

Before anyone starts to complain about this post, please check the thread and the Ebook out.

I have some questions for you:

To put this in to some kind of perspective, I have a PhD in Electrical & Electronic Engineering (I'll leave this to your imagination how much I actually make IRL (TIP: it's f*cking a lot)).

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?

It says that I have to do something with my hands? Not being facetious in anyway, who are you aiming your method at? Is this a method for people who are too young to get a job? Even working minimum wage here you can make $450 a week sat on your arse talking to people on the phone.

Did you make $200 a week with only 1 hour of your time? Can you prove it?

$15.99 is f*ck all to me. Are you so confident that this is achievable by anyone that if I agree to purchase your ebook and try your method myself that I will make $200 and be able to prove it on this very thread? Please bear in mind you are speaking to someone who has read over a thousand ebooks. Are you even confident I haven't read your method before somewhere else?

I read tons of ebooks concerning manual advertising, middle-manning etc. Does your method include this or any particular level of skill?

I'm 99% sure you never seen this Ebook before, why I only ask $15.99? People don't want to spend $30 on an Ebook and because it's unsaturable it doesn't affect me in any way. So I make some cash of the sales and invest that in the methode. You are your own "boss" so you can choise how much money you make. I can make atleast $100 a week using this methode with only 15-30 minutes of work with my hands. This can be considerd as an hobby and can be done whenever you want to do it.
