Stop wasting your money

June 4th, 2008 by Ryan

When all of us are desperate about making money online with only concentrating on getting and absorbing as much information as we can and learn those things that other gurus are telling to the world, then we are exploited by so called Internet marketing Gurus.

Well, if you see it like this, you are reading this because you want to learn something or you and I have common interests, there are two options for you when you are desperate about anything, in this situation “making money” , the first option is try yourself  and the other option is to follow someone else who has already done it. Now, I agree that you polish your techniques by “trial and error”, you try something, find errors, fix it, move on and perfect your skills and then you are on a path where you can make money, but this takes a lot of time, effort and money.

The thing that annoys me is that marketers put a time limit stamp on their products (well thats a great tactic when you are selling something, and this is extremly effective, but why cheat people by selling crap for more than hundreds bucks), I mean you might have noticed that you visit an e-book site where the marketing Guru will be holding a bag of cash or sitting on a Ferrari or Sports BMW, a beautiful house, what the heck ? you get trapped, you sit back and think, wow, this man is making a lot from Internet and if I follow him, I will definitely get somewhere where I can earn 25% of what he is earning rightnow even if I dont do all teh hard work he has done, the the “time stamp” tells you that this is a limited offer and only XX number of copies are left and you have only 30 minutes to buy, you get excited, pull out your credit card and buy that crappy product. Once you read it, you are disappointed. I know you are disappointed all the time.

You are scammed by these gurus all the time, (and they will keep you scamming until you understand the truth, that there is no secret or 1 hour blue print or a magic code that will work auto-pilot and make you thousands), who were about to tell you some secret to make thousands of dollars online, well there is not secret, I have already blogged about how to make money. I would encourage you to read blogs and forums where people like me have already burnt thousands of dollars in such crap products and also learnt a lot things, if you are planning to buy any product, just don’t get impressed by their fake testimonials, ask in the forums for reviews, or you can even contact me directly, I would give you an honest review if I have already purchased that product.

So, stop wasting your money on crappy products, just write a plan, take action and get started, read my post about how to become successful online and I can guarantee you, you will see success. Good luck !

well, its very old article that helped me on several occasions and I needed it badly today, I am posting it for my readers, the credit goes to the actual Anonymous writer.

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar… and the coffee…

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “yes.”

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

“Now,” said the professor, as the laughter subsided, ” I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things-your God, family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions-things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car. The sand is everything else-the small stuff.”

“If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued, “there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.”

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.

The professor smiled. “I’m glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.

Well, you know you can make a lot of money being an affiliate, but sometimes you need some quick cash for your projects or any other needs, so lets consider I need some quick cash for my children : lol, and I need it fast, I am already affiliated with Clickbank and have been promoting products there.  So lets do some sneaky tactics to get cash quickly..

Sometimes, since there are thousands of clickbank affiliates, if anyone likes your Ad / promotional information they will buy the product, but what they normally do is go and buy that product through their own affiliate link OR use their friend’s affiliate link, even if they first found that product through your website or your Ad, now thats what I hate most, been promoting a product and at the end someone else gets the affiliate commission. Ok, here comes the cookie stuffing rule :)

What you do is create a page for that specific product, and while linking to that product (clickbank link) dont use your hop link, this will make the person think that you are not even affiliated with clickbank. So now what we are doing it stuffing our cookie while the person is reading details, how ? The simple redirect cookie stuffing method with .htaccess Cool :) I can gurantee you will see a lot of increase in your commission. There is always risk involved in cookie stuffing, but I dont see any problems here since you are getting credit for putting the information and making a promotional page for that specific credit. So good luck !
