So far, I have made about $700 from PayPerPost, the blog marketing company that pays bloggers to post about their advertisers, and have another $200 or so pending, which will be paid after 30 days. My start-up and monthly expenses? $0 with Blogger.
I can't stress how powerful this is when you are getting started in internet marketing / blogging, because a lot of newbies spend money on websites, marketing courses, etc. and then don't make much. Their business is in the red, and they are discouraged.
Last week, I was attending a free "infomercial" seminar, and an older man on there said how he was talked into paying $20/month for an autoresponder, and ddn't even know what they did.
I went through all this offline 14 years ago, when I bought the get rich quick and direct marketing courses. I bought into a turn-key business to resell books, and I lost about $2,000.
This time, I wanted to go slowly - my mantra was "micro business" - be small but profitable and build.
So, that is what I have done, I created free Blogger blogs, wrote articles, and monetized them with Adsense and paid posts. While doing this, I have been taking advantage of all the free "infomerical" newletters, ebooks, and videos by the gurus.
Now, I'm taking the money I earned from PayPerPost and spending it on education, and buying lower priced ebooks and videos. I also want to take my payperpost earnings and use the money towards building/buying websites that can pay a passive income.
I think this can be a powerful strategy. So many newbies fail on-line because they spend their own money trying to build passive income websites. I found a way that, while not passive, allowed me to make money online with $0 start-up costs.
Now, I can try and convert this money into a passive income stream.
