I was just interviewed by young entrepreneur Michael Dunlop on Income Diary. He’s a very successful 21 year old who makes money online through blogging. He’s very inspirational and you should definitely take a look at his blog. Also check out my interview while you’re there!
That’s me in the picture! He picked quite a funny shot of me from Halloween… ha Click Here to check out the interview. =D
One of my hobbies on the side of makin’ money online is photoshop… Here’s some of the stuff I’ve done in the past few weeks. I also made the header to my blog for the few people who asked me earlier… ha
Many people think the only way to make money on the Internet is by actually having someone physically buy something. Whether it be software, an ebook, or a service, there’s always other ways of making money online. But, one of my favorite and easiest ways (in my opinion) has to be CPA marketing. CPA stands for “Cost Per Action” which means if someone were to just perform any type of action, you make money.
A perfect example of a CPA offer would be an zip code opt-in. You drive people to an opt-in page and for every person who actually opts-in (fills in their zip code), you make a commision. So let’s say you drive 1000 people to an opt-in page and you make $0.50 per opt-in. If there’s a 30% conversion which is pretty low with CPA offers, you’d make $150. That’s some pretty easy money huh? Here’s an example of what one looks like:
There are many different ways to advertise online these days.. but I’m going to talk about a very cheap and effective way that not many people know about. It’s through Facebook Ad Manager! I bet you would have never guessed that.. The reason I like it so much is because it allows you to pick the demographics right down to their ages. It’s absolutely awesome.
I’ll give you a quick example. Let’s say your promoting a product like this: Chopper Tattoo
(That’s a product off Clickbank that you can actually become an affiliate to right after you read this and start your own campaign with..)
But as you can see, it’s a product about tattoos and it would be quite tough to advertise if you weren’t able to target people who like tattoos right? Well this is where Facebook advertising comes into place. When you’re setting up your ad in Facebook, there’s a section called “Keywords” and what it does is while you type in words, it shows you if people on Facebook have it on their profiles, which obviously means they enjoy or are interested in that topic. So lets say you type in “tat” you’ll notice words pop up underneath that have “tat” in it. You’ll want to choose all of the ones with “tattoo” because your add will only show on their pages now.. How perfect is that?!

This has to be one of the most important factors in becoming successful in my opinion. Most people think it’s completely bogus and is a waste of time, but I have to disagree. Well about a year ago I fell in the same category as them, but since it changed my life in just under a year, I have to swing my vote.
It’s truly all about setting your goals.
I know “setting your goals” is pretty vague, so I’m going to explain EXACTLY what I mean by it. This way you can set up your own goals extremely easily and not be confused.
Here’s an example of a goal. I want to make one million dollars by next this time next year.
Well… that would be a HORRIBLE goal.
Now when I say horrible, I don’t mean it’s impossible, or unachievable. It’s actually WAY to broad, it needs to be more specific.

I’ve been working on so much lately that I just haven’t had a chance to get on here… But don’t worry I didn’t forget about you!
But guess what?? I’m not BACK IN ACTION!
** Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, I’ve been trying to settle back in and get over jet lag but now I’m good to go!
ANYWHO.. When I was in South Africa my Flip HD broke right before I was about to go to the wild! NOT OKAY.
Instead of videoing (like I wanted to) I had to take pictures, but I think they came out pretty well… =/
What great times we are having right now! It’s finally been declared that 80% of people graduating college this year can’t get a job… That’s right, 80%! That’s pretty bad if you ask me. It’s not only the people graduating from college who can’t find a job, thousands and thousands of others are in the same position. It sucks, and isn’t going to change for a while. So it’s time for you to put a stop to this madness!
I’m actually in the same position since I’m a freshman in college right now, but I’m lucky…
I actually have a job.. and it’s not a job like working at Mc Donalds, I work for myself. I do affiliate marketing online. Now if you don’t know what affiliate marketing is, it’s pretty simple. If I could figure it out in just a few months (by myself) I think you can too. Especially since I’m going to help you along the way from now on.
Affiliate marketing is when you sell other peoples products for a commission. And since they are other people’s products, you don’t have to deal with all the lame time consuming work like getting back to customers, shipping, or dealing with refunds. It’s actually the perfect job, especially if you’re looking for a job at the moment, and need some extra money to keep you going for a while.
Me on a farm in South Africa… Hakuna Matata!
I forgot to add the little intro thang that I usually have on all the videos… -_-
Since the Internet is so slow here and takes around 3 hours to upload a video like this to YouTube, I’m too lazy to to go through the whole process to change it. Sorry!
Quick video clip I’ve put together of my trip so far in South Africa! I think I’m going to steal a baby baboon and bring it home with me.
I don’t know how safe it would be though…. EEEK!
