Zero to Six Figures

This post started out as a response to an email I received. Since then, I have been asked the same question several times “What is the quickest and easiest way to make money on the Internet?” So rather than rewriting my answer over and over again, I decided to put this recap together and post it. Please understand, I do not claim to be a “Guru” or overnight millionaire, but I do know how to make money and I’m making a very good living online right now with my home based business.

There are so many ways to make money that I could write about it for days and still not cover just the ones I know about. There is no “one size fits all” because different people have different interest, talents and skills. Everyone has a different amount of resources and risk tolerances vary. Fortunately, because of the Internet, it has become a whole lot easier to find and research opportunities.

Having tried a number of programs and spent a ton of money (you don’t even want to know), I can share some things with you that may save you time and money as you search for a program that’s right for you. I’ll also show you the exact programs and some shortcuts I’ve used to create a six figure income online, in a short period of time.

First, some things I’ve learned…

- You cannot buy a $17 e-book and make a million dollars overnight. I’m sure you know this but those Sales Letters are so tempting. Like any business, you need to invest some time and/or money.

- Create multiple streams of income. Things change fast, especially on the Internet. What works great today may not work so well tomorrow and you don’t want to be dependent on one source of income. Multiple streams also speed up the income. Just make sure that each stream is set up and running properly before you move on to the next.

- Thoroughly check out a program before signing up for it. There are scams out there and some things are just flat out illegal. Do a Google search on the program and check forums.

- Never invest more than you can afford to lose. There are risks in any business; the Internet just makes it more affordable to start one.

- Advertise/Market more than one way and try to be unique. If a program offers sample ads and then tells you where to advertise, guess where most people that join that program are going to be advertising? And guess what ads they’ll be running? Always try to make yours better than the rest.

- Don’t sign up for a program that you don’t understand. If you don’t understand it, other people (prospects) won’t either.

- Save your receipts and track everything you purchase related to your business. Many things are tax deductible.

- “You can get everything in life you want if you just help enough people get what they want.” - Zig Ziglar



Ok, so on to the programs that work for me. I’ve tested many different ones and to make the cut they had to:

- Be “real” programs that pay

- Be quick and easy to understand and set up

- Have a support program in place

- Not require much time, if any, to maintain

- Not require special skills or technical knowledge

- Not require phone calls, meetings or inventory


Here they are:

1) Bux.to – This is a Paid to Click (PTC) site that is free to join. I get a whopping $.0125 per ad clicked by me and my direct referrals. Now before you laugh, I have 6,500 referrals, so the money adds up very quickly every day (24/7/365), whether I do anything or not.

Shortcut: I started making money with this program the very first day I joined. I upgraded to a Premium Member for 25% more money per click plus more ads. I bought all of my referrals from them. That’s right, instant downline! I have not spent a dime on advertising. I have been buying referrals over the last few months but if I could do it all over, I would have purchased a bunch of referrals and had a nice six figure stream started right away.

Note: It takes a long time for withdraws to be processed and there is a payment processor fee.

2) Global Domains International (GDI) – This one is a “no-brainer” for me. When you buy a domain name from them you become an affiliate. The neat thing is you get a recurring commission every month for anyone that joins under you (for four levels), as long as they keep their domain. They provide advertising and marketing resources. The income starts small but builds as the downline grows.

Shortcut: I have included this with downline building programs where people want their own domain name. It’s much easier to get the name you want with a “.ws” extension than a “.com” extension. In addition to better name selection, when someone signs up, they start another income stream of their own. Many people are making a full time living off of this program alone.

Note: You need to maintain your $10 per month account. Income starts slow.

3) Affiliate Funnel – This is a free program that I use for traffic, to build lists and promote other programs.

Shortcut: Here is my secret weapon. I am tying my other programs to this one and using a company which is not only providing leads but also contacting those leads and following up with them.

Note: This is free to join however, there are a lot of benefits to upgrading. There are 3 levels of membership - Free, Silver and Gold.

These are my top programs. Each one could stand on its own individually producing a nice income, but as I mentioned, multiple streams are the way to go. Combining them gives me a powerhouse, providing a variety of opportunities for beginners with little or no money to more advanced marketers.

Wow, with all these, I must be spending all day at my computer – WRONG. This is the best part; I only spend about 20 minutes a day on Bux.to. I spend little or no time at all on the other ones unless I’m trying a new marketing method. Where else could you make this kind of money for that little bit of time, other than the Internet???

I hope this gives you an idea of some of the money making programs out there and provides you with some information to help you on your way. While I can’t tell you if any of the programs above are right for you, I can tell you that they are “real” and they do work. Do your research and decide what is best for your situation. The bottom line is there is a lot of money to be made on the Internet and a wide variety of ways to do it.


SEE YOU AT THE TOP!!!
