Make Money Online with a 14 Years Old

Tech Talk

hey john
im a new guy into your site. well i can see that sense of having succeeded in your post :-) You just say that easily - build traffic. well thats the bottomline right? so how do we do that precisely. i'm sure everyone around have tried that for what is in the books. but it is simple beyond that seo techniques to get noticed. so what are those is all we rookies (atleast me) wanted to know to gain traffic.
if you get a chance kindly take a look at my site http://money-making-tools.tipsonclicks.com

Maybe thats right, but there are some formulas to get faster and cheaper traffic in example and secrets hwo to optimize best ads.

I actually love hearing about how much money you spent on dinner. It's more inspiration than anything.

lol! Love this post... very good analogy. It drives me insane when I hear people complaining about how much weight they need to lose when it really is as "simple" as you say. The hard part is willpower to follow through.

You are right with your secret formula you just revealed to internet riches... BUT... there are a LOT of factors that come into play. You need good, original ideas; timing... good content and who knows what else.

The way I'm going about it is to simply do as much as I can and see what sticks. If you try enough stuff eventually something will stick and make you moola.

One of the best money making formulas I ever read was from the book Million Dollar Habits by Robert Ringer. A guy he met once said to him:
"You know, making money is really an easy proposition. You charge as much as the market will bear, buy for as low as you can and in between is your profit."

Great post John and so very true. But I still love to read about your lunches and dinners.
No lunch feast since a long time John !!! what happened.

I think for new blogs, you need to write something interesting to attract visitors from Google to your site first. Once you got regular visitors and people have "known" you, you can start rambling your personal.

If you create a new blog and just rambling about what you eat, etc - nobody cares, really!

It`s all in traffic. You can write about ... how to kill batman with piano or how to teach blonde to bring you beer . Or two beers :razz: . Just see what is John Chow title
.

:idea: :idea: :idea:
Now i got idea :idea: for my title . I Make Money Online by Telling People How Much Other People Make Money Online

Niiiiiiiiiiice

Thx John. Best post all year. Serious.

"And that is why you will see posts about what I had for lunch. It builds traffic."

Oh is that the secret? Maybe I need to write more about what I had for lunch on my blog to build traffic. :wink:

I prefer the jibber jabber posts over the money ones! :mrgreen:

You will never may money without a certain group of traffic coming offline or online. Work and optimize them to help you make more money.

I have found a guide to live 100 years a few years ago and the first tip they gave to the reader was "make money" :-) Obviously this is what you do, even if it is quite clear what you mean: build traffic, which , by the way, is the biggest problem of any website

The secret is not to be boring. I never go to any of the "make money all the time" sites or blogs. The essence of a blog is communicating self, and I don't care to "know" people who only talk about money. I could live in LA if I wanted that.

Knowing these two tips, I wonder if John will still write post about money making. :mrgreen:

You just couldn't be more right John, as you say, the only formula to make money online is getting traffic and optimizing ads, that's it.

The secret formula is perseverance and dedication.
If you have all the plans, ambitions, and goals, but you lack these formula, you could never get into fruition.

If you were to write only about making money on line, there will be a lot of repetition and it will get to be very boring. The diversions that you bring in, makes it interesting and at least keeps me visiting regularly and commenting. So, please do keep it up. Your explanation sums it up very well too.

So the deal with you and satan was all lies u say?
:D

...and the traffic keeps on growing day by day. Too bad google seems hell bent on owning the world...mwahahahahahaaa :mrgreen:

Ahhh John, I wanted you to make me rich in the next hour. How can it all be about eye balls in front of ads, that's just crazy talk! Surely there MUST be a secrect formula that lets lazy asses do sweet FA and the money just pours in? :smile:

This is by far my most favourite post - short, succint, practical and oh so true! :cool:

John,

Do you mind sharing with me how to drive traffic to chinese language website?

Bob

I guess you have rotating ads. When i read the post it had the beach bum ad. Oh wells.

interesting to read the post and then see the ad next to the post. John, you're saying that there is no secret but the ad inside of your post suggests that there is a secret way to make $237,000. How a beach bum did it and learn his reverse funnel system blah blah blah. just thought that was funny. nobody else caught that?

I just started my new blog, and I wouldn't attempt to try and tell someone who has been as successful as you about what they should and shouldn't write about. Seems kind of presumptuous to me.

Making money online can summed up in four words as well: Get traffic, optimize ads

Thanks for letting us in on your secret john. :idea: There is no secret formula but hard work pays off in the end. That is how I look at it.

As long as you keep writing what you write about, I'll keep reading. :cool:

very well said. build traffic. optimize ads. been doing it for quite some time. yeah, it really works!

Not sure if anyone cares, but I wanted to ask...does this kind of website work? The ones where you buy advertising? Pixel Buck seems to think so.

So what did you eat today?

John, thank you for that great tip, you have put the nail in the right place. I am trying to advertise in has many places has I can, I do not know too much about optimizing ads, but I did select that option in my feedburners account. But it will be nice if you could put out a post talking more about that topic. Kudus to you.

so much fighting and bs and spam on this website. and i think this guy is a fake.

It's called human nature. If you read up on copywriting, you would realize that many will tap on greed/laziness to sell their ebooks/products.

This is a great post :) Maybe you should emphasize the traffic part more. Everything is about traffic. Once you have traffic, everything is easy :) People can optimize their $20 monthly adsense spot all they want but it will take those people 25 months to make the same amount John makes on one 125x125 button per month.

John, just for experiment, publish an empty post one day with nothing but "I'm not going to say anything in this post." You'll still get 50+ comments, at least.

John Chow is addictive. Many people are addicted to Mr Chow.

'tis true!

As for the weight loss thing, it's simple: create a caloric deficit and you can lose weight. Like with shares and stocks: buy low, sell high. Alas if only it were that simple! :roll:

Don't listen to them! I enjoy your personal ramblings.

So very true. The big step is to just get out there and do it. If you're spending all of your time reading about making money, how are you going to have any time to make any yourself. You HAVE to start somewhere. The sooner you start, the sooner you can start learning for yourself rather than trying to learn from someone else's success. Each person isn't the same. There are different circumstances that surrounds everyone and even though some things are consistent, I think your success online depends on your set of circumstances. The biggest one though, again, is to simply stop reading and start publishing. Anyway, that's my .02.

yes when i get overwhelmed that i dont know as much about seo, social networking, and stuff, instead of jumping online and reading blogs like this i log in my blog and try to write the best post i can.

i do alright but of course want to do better but ive come to the same conclusion you have... their is no magic formula.

I couldn't agree more. I often get depressed because although my blog generates a good deal of income, i always feel like others know more than me when it comes to marketing their blogs, seo, using social media, and stuff.

My new strategy is that when i start feeling overwhelmed, instead of reading something in hopes of learning more... I login to my blog and write a really good post. its all we can really do that is totally in our control.

Honestly I think you should just ignore those e-mails. I can't stand the people on here who whine about not liking what you write about. If they don't like it, they don't have to read it.

For some reason, the least successful in society feel the need to criticize those who become successful. I'd be willing to bed not one of the people that complained to you earns more than $20,000 per month blogging and probably never will.

Keep doing what you're doing John!

Makes sense to me. Of course, you have to eat good-looking food, otherwise we won't care.
