The Fastest Money You Can Make

Many people have convinced you that Adsense income is either dead or growing… the market is probably all saturated with people who can’t make up their minds about whether it’s coming or going.

TRAFFIC LEECHES

In fact, some of you are so new, you can’t even tell what’s a good deal or not. I’m telling you, you are not alone. I’ve seen some people leeching traffic on my site and using my various sites to sell products that are associated with my niches.

I think that’s silly.

My site is actually generating a huge amount of traffic every day. It’s not bad for a small site. But the truth is that people leeching off my site are going to get pounded if they don’t know how to work with me.

The first thing is that the niche I’ve created is about internet marketing. The fact is, I never intended to make money from this niche. It’s already amazing that EVERYONE who has got on the bandwagon wants to make money from this niche – I think it’s plain STUPID. When there’s a lack of credibility, it’s the one thing that drives a whole bunch of my fellow internet marketing colleagues INSANE.

Forgive my rant!

Anyway, I receive (nowadays) up to 280 spam comments ‘trying’ to pass off as legitimate comments. With the dozens of links they have on my site comment, it’s ludicrous to even think I’d allow such comments.

Others are slightly smarter. They provide some content, then leave their signatures lying around. That’s fine, but what if I shut down my site? They’d be fairly helpless because the nexus of traffic has disappeared.

This is the macabre truth – you can’t stay profitable if you remain a traffic leech. You need to create an authority site. If you’ve only been around for a couple of months, don’t expect to break into the niche many people have spent years building up.

Recently, gurus have been bashing newbies for doing things that ‘clone’ the actual gurus. I’d be miffed myself. So, if you are really going to get something of value, PLEASE check that the person is providing content that will help you achieve LONG TERM success rather than opportunistic success. In my opinion, a lot of business opportunity seekers turn themselves into ‘gurus’ with no sense of self-respect. They don’t position themselves effectively, and then they expect people to follow their lead. But when they abandon this track and move on, you’ll be the one lost.

Then again, what makes the internet so interesting is that you can actually make money from proposing joint ventures with those gurus. Has anyone approached me? Of course. However, the proposals were so flimsy, they were definitely poorly planned. Why? Because it was all about “them” rather than about “us”.

JVs are the fastest ways to promote your product, develop a market presence, yadda yadda. Learn the skills of establishing rapport, and I think you’ll know where to go from here.
