 This post is a follow up about my recent success in the online marketing realm. During the month of January I averaged $15.39 a day from this certain technique. While this isn’t anything amazing, it doesn’t hurt to have the extra cash. Towards the end of January and the start of February I was getting excited. I was pushing my daily profits to between $50-$70 with approximately 2 hours of work a day. This was great because if I kept it steady for a month, that would be $1500-$2100 a month! Not to mention I would probably be making well over $500 in AdSense. Well the problems started sometime around the 5th of February. For some reason the technique I was using started to fail. As you can see from the picture I went from averaging around $60 a day to $15 a day. I still haven’t figured out how I’m going to get my profits back up to where they should be, but in the mean time I’m working on other avenues with some different, more solid websites with potential revenue.
Well I’ll probably update you all again on how things are going towards the end of the month, and hopefully I will have found a way to get my profits back up. But until then good luck with your internet marketing!
 As you can probably tell if you’ve ever glanced through my posts, I try to make money online. Sometimes I have success, and sometimes I… let’s just say I fail. Well over the past month I’ve been trying a new money making technique and it seems to be doing quite well. I started working on this right after Christmas and I’m already up to $30 to $40 a day. (Proof below)
As you can see from the picture to the left, I started out the month rather slow averaging about $5 a day. At the time that measly $5 a day seemed great! Especially considering the extremely low amount of effort and time I put into each day. Looking back it’s pathetic, now that I’m more familiar with the system I’m using to generate this particular source of income. And the best part – the picture with my statistics doesn’t even show all of the money – I’m generating an additional $5 to $10 each day with AdSense!
As for views, I was averaging a few hundred a day with the exception of the past 3 days in which I’ve been testing a slightly different approach to obtaining traffic. I think I’m going to stick with what I’m currently doing to get the high amount of daily page views because I’m trying out an additional form of monetization that will hopefully had a few hundreds additional dollars of income each week. On a side note, notice the 12,000 visitors with an average time on site at over 3 minutes each – That’s over 600 hours! Pretty awesome considering I’ve put less than 30 hours into this!
Here’s the traffic report:
I’ll be sure to update you all in the following weeks on how this is going. My guess is that in the near future I’ll be able to get $50 a day out the method with a little more effort and refining. Who knows, I may even be generous enough to share this little technique with some of you in my next post ;) Don’t get you’re hopes up too much, because if I ever did tell anyone how to do this the $40 a day would definitely shrink with the competition.
 I’ve been listening to music online for years. Pandora and Playlist have always been great sources for listening to music online. One of the things that separates Pandora from the rest is that you pick a song or an artist, and they find similar songs and combine them into a playlist for you to listen to. This is great for finding new music, although I have found it to be more of an annoyance than doing what it’s intended for – helping you find new songs and artists. The downside to Playlist in my opinion is the ease of using their website. Well a few months ago I stumbled across Grooveshark – An awesome website for listening to music. It’s recently been re-designed which makes it even easier to use. So if you’re looking to find a specific song, give Grooveshark a try.
 iStockPhoto.com is a great place to purchase images to display on a website, school assignments, or whatever else you feel like! They cost starts at around $1 an image, and goes up depending on how large of a picture you’re looking for. I’ve personally purchased over 30 credits of pictures and I am satisfied with each and every picture. Give them a try and you won’t be regretting it!
 I recently acquired a domain name that just so happened to be a highly searched diabetes term. After getting the CMS installed and doing all of the necessary modifications, the only two things I was missing were Content, and Links. As you can probably tell, I’m not the best writer. When I sit down and actually think about it I can usually pump out a few articles, but this never frequent enough. I decided it would be good to try to find someone to write for me. I hadn’t spent very much time searching for copywriters up to this point, just every now and again I would search for some cheap Indians to write for me. Unfortunately I couldn’t find anyone that could type proper “Inglish” that didn’t cost a fortune.
I now began my search into finding some copywriters. While I was talking to one of my friends Mark Butler over @ The Keyword Academy he referred me to TextBroker. I’ve had around 10 articles written with them and I’ve only had to send 2 of them back for revisions. They charge between $0.01 and $0.02 per word, depending on the quality you desire. I’ve only used the $0.02 4-star writing so far and I’ve been very impressed. Give them a try today! They’re awesome and will get your articles written in just a day or two, sometimes hours.
First off I am sorry for not writing anything on this website for over two months! I still struggle by getting caught up in only writing for my niche web-blogs and completely forgetting about NatHat. Well in the mail I received check I’ve been anticipating since the end of September! I figured I would snap a quick picture with my phone and tell you all about my recent success in the world of AM (Affiliate Marketing). While this may seem a minuscule amount to some of you, this is almost double my average monthly AM income. This is my first check from Commission Junction specifically, and hopefully the amounts will continue to show growth!
I’ve been writing for over a year on this blog, and have slowly but steadily had increased traffic. Everything was going great in early June. Then came June 26, 2009…
I had a massive amount of traffic on that day thanks to StumbleUpon with many people reading my Why Is Windows 7 Amazing post. At first I was ecstatic. Until I saw the official number the next day when I check my Analytics – 666.
I knew after that moment, my blog was cursed. And I have the statistics to prove it. Before the incident I was receiving 30 to 40 hits a day. After, an almost instant drop to 10-20. That’s a 50% drop! And months later I’m still receiving the same amount.
Moral of the story – Don’t Do Drugs. Oh, and watch out for the number 666.

 A year or two ago I was browsing around the internet and I happened to read an article about how all readers of this certain blog could get free Overstock Club O just by emailing Patrick Byrne, the CEO of Overstock.com. This was a rare opportunity because this was not a widely read blog and Club O isn’t free.
So I sent the email and to my surprise I got a reply telling me my account now had Club O activated for one year! I was ecstatic for receiving free Club O not only because would I receive savings at Overstock, but that I had got something for free that most people pay for.
Months went by until one day I happened to read a thread on a forum exploiting a coupon error at Overstock allowing anyone to receive $37 off any order, while the coupon was only intended to discount a certain piece of furniture. I thought about trying to replicate this deal myself and having the chance at a few cheap items. After thinking about it for a bit, I thought I owed it to Overstock and Patrick Byrne for giving me free Club O. So I decided I would search through my emails and find Patrick’s personal email address and inform him of the coupon error.
After sending the email, I received a short email from Patrick saying he was “Highly grateful” and also an email from Overstock Customer Support with a $1000 account credit! I couldn’t believe my eyes! Making the right choice had paid off!
I then proceeded to purchase a 42″ Philips LCD from Overstock.com with my credit. Now every time play Video Games or watch TV I think of how helping others can be more rewarding than a few free products due to errors. Thanks Overstock!
 A couple weeks ago I was browsing the forums on Slickdeals.net and stumbled upon an NFL deal for Sprint Customers. Since the thread had a few thumbs up, I decided I’d check it out. After reading the first post I went to SprintTicketRewards.com and saw they were offering 25 pairs of tickets to the first 25 people that signed up for each of the 32 NFL teams. I instantly clicked on the Denver Broncos link and signed up. I was surprised they never even asked to verify that I was a member of Sprint’s Network. They didn’t ask for any confidential information. They only required your name, address, email address, and phone number.
Well, right after I finished signing up I was reading the thread at Slickdeals and saw this post:

This scared me a bit, considering the fact that a large company like Sprint would likely host this website themselves and have it registered to them. Definitely not registered to Andrew Reid from Rumford, Rhode Island. I then waited for a few weeks with little hope that I would actually receive free Broncos tickets.
Well a couple of days ago I decided I would check the original forum and see if anyone had any luck getting their tickets. And to my surprise, a user uploaded pictures of tickets he had received! This really pumped me up! I thought I may actually receive some free tickets from Sprint!
And today they came! Shipped UPS 2nd Day Air! Thanks Sprint!
