I should have remembered the very first words that really hit me when I started reading Griz’s blog and that was that he actually promised to teach people how to earn cash without spending any. Although I remember him saying that at some point you are going to need to use some of that hard earned money to be able to actually multiply your income over and over again. If you are ranking just on the second page and your website is making $500 a month, would it be reasonable to pay $500 to be able to get it on the first page? In my opinion it would, but this post is not going to be about that. I am going to talk about the sh*t that hit me today.

What I understood was that I am still making pennies. – well okay hundreds-  a month, but given the time I have been around doing this, I could be making more. Much more. I know that everyone is telling that actually making money online is a journey and it will take some people years and some people months to learn. And when you learn what you need to do to actually see that cash, it will take months ’till you actually start seeing it. This is though on your patience and I am not one of those patient guys so here it goes: this is my story.

I relised at one point that my current level of income was just not going to give me what I needed. I was working a very low paying job and I was not able to live the life that I wanted, and I was in debt also. That day I started to look for ways to make money on the internet and that is the day that I found out about the so called Gurus. Thank gosh I understood that because I need money I can’t afford to enroll in to some scheme to get rich quick. Something that I then -and maybe partially later – realised was that those “leaders” were not going to show me any way to start earning money from the scratch. Most of the programs like How To Make Money While You Sleep and other programs that cost a lot of money, are guaranteed to work. They work if you already have a working business which you want to take to the next level – just like most of the bloggers want to do with their blog, and just like the people buying in to these programs, they forget that they need an already working format to be able to push it to the higher class.

This does not mean getting a new theme for your blog, or trying to come up with a business idea that you will use your newly learnt skills on. The professional marketers actually use people so they begin to think that “they can do it too”, even if they don’t have what it takes. Reading the comments on the most frequent post on MMOFB you can really get a grasp of what I am talking here – except I don’t think that they purpose of the post which quite frankly, adviced people to produce quality content so that Mr. Bear could actually give traffic to, was intended to get people making MMO blogs in the hope of actually being in the first page of the search engines for any MMO search terms. There was in my opinion a misunderstanding when it comes to the people who were actually trying to put people down from trying to build a personal blog about their journey – IMO you should keep that stuff to yourself – if someone want’s to build a blog like that then let them, they are going to learn something just like I have, and this post is about that.

The one thing that I think is the reason people are so against the hyped internet marketers that are selling their method to get the cash you want is that that they don’t clearly state their customers. Their target group is more likely going to be someone who is already having an offline business and wants to take it to the internet. These people are not known with online marketing, but more likely they are comfortable doing it in the real world, and that is where they need some good advice on how to transfer and develop their skills to match the www. The problem is that they programs that they promote are promoted to everyone, and the most desperate people are the most desperate to join – and the people behind the programs don’t really mind since they are not looking for customer satisfaction but money in their pockets. The first thing that should alarm you is the prices of these systems. If you are in a desperate need for extra cash then you should not afford to pay a few hundred ( thousand ) dollars to get in on it – that would make it impossible for them to make any sales. If you already have a small business that pays off, then investing $3997 to make it even more successfull is not going to be a big amount of cash.

What is the actual thing that I learnt about getting “free” money from the internet? Well actually I really understood the potential of an authority site, and even a very strong general website or a blog. If I would have spent all my time so far trying to build a few high quality blogs, for which I would have done everything (yes, everything) possible to get a huge amount of high quality backlinks, and a huge quality of low quality links I would most likely have myself a similar amount of pretty strong blogs. This means that I would have nearly authority sites (well not nearly, but maybe in the future) that could be used to provide some juice for my other sites. These sites that I should have created should have been far from snipered niche sites that are using adsense, but instead as general as possible – even possibly those WTF uncategorized blogs where I would jabber about everything. While at the same time actually targeting specific niches with each post and getting correct backlinks for them, getting indexed for various keywords but not minding about the ranking.

Instead of that I have been buying domains without really understanding anything about keywords that could produce anything, and without being capable – or actually really getting – the proper links for them. It is actually about a mindset and before you really understand the fact that the majority of your time has to be spent somewhere else than on your so called “money” sites, you are doing it wrong. I always thought that I really understood that you have to spend every living monent on building other websites than the ones that you actually intend to use for monetization but I for some reason never did that much to do it. I always ended up doing more and more keyword research and spending time reading how to do this and that, instead of fuckign doing it. Once you understand that you can actually get something done if you just do it, and it won’t be done without you doing it, you are going to earn some cash – well that is how I see it.

So what am I going to do about it? Well like I said I would have a way better start if I would have just bought some aged domains and get a separate hosting account for each domain, with a different IP and created one post for each of the sites that I had, each day. Well.. That would mean that I would have a few sites with a huge amount of content on a large variety of themes. At the same time I would have spent the rest of my time commenting on do-follow blogs and doing everything I could to obtain as much backlinks. Even try to socialize and get some natural links for me, even blogroll will do, as long as there are a lot of them. So I am going to start it now, not actually like that but in a different manner. I just bought 6 domains that are all 6 to 9 years old and have 10 to 150 pages indexed by google – don’t get me wrong I did not spend that much on them since I am not getting any content, just the website addresses. The thing with these is that they already have the trust of the search engines, so I can start more swiftly on them, and I can even outsource ( dumb me ) a lot of the content and get it pumped on the sites quite fast. Then links and voilá in six months or so I will have six websites that are going to provide me with some juice and the pulp. I did also get separate hosting accounts for each – cheap ass ones buck fifty or so for a month each – and I am getting them set up in a few days just to get started. Although I am not rushing it with these – the goal is just to build those to the eternity and eventually have nice sites that can pass on the fruit.

This is the message behind the “build those authority sites”. You can build them as long as you do something else. Don’t get me wrong I am not going to spend that much time on those sites, just write frequent quick posts on them and use some quite popular services on them. I am not going to monetize these sites but just build them for the days to come, you will never know what happens and I feel that by having a few of these I can have an advantage in the future and not end up filling online surveys or try to invest in order to make some money. There area no real ways to make money today unless you are willing to start make money writing for companies like textbrokers, and even then I think that you are going to have to wait to get the paycheck. If you wan’t to find out some legimate ways to make money then you are not far away from. Creating high quality small websites for which you have some huge factories backing them up can be a real way to actually get traffic and eventually make the sales. Well at least I believe in it and that is one of the things that I am going to do to make money in the years to come.

I am not looking for some fast way to pay the bills; that is why I have my day job at the moment. I am looking for a way to get an income that is beyond my offline income, and able to give me the lifestyle that I want – travel more and work less. If that requires eight hours a day of work then that is something that I am going to have to put in. Although it is not possible yet, and I am going to have to to wait until I actually make enough to get rid of current source of income – I am really fed up with it – and besides just the fact that I need money I also need a vacation.

And now to get started with the post or something…

I have seen a lot of people who need to get some extra cash as fast as possible and are ready to eveything there is to achieve that. I was and still am one of them. Even though I have managed to start earning a little extra, it is still nowhere near the amount that I wan’t to be making, and that is why I am constantly looking for new ways. I am asking myself what can I do to get more money, and that is what it driving me forward. Not only do I want to make money online but also I want to make my income stream as passive as possible and to be able to quit my job. Yeah, that is the one that I work nearly full time on right now and get less than $1500 on my bank account every month. Sounds like a rip-off but that is exactly what happens when you work for a cheap ass bastard of a boss who is blaming her employees for the fact that she does not have a clue how to be an entrepreneur.

To be honest with you I have to start with something that Lis pointed out to me in one of my previous posts Need Money Now For Rent where she said that you should probably get a job if you need that money quickly. You are not going to make online money in a few weeks, and even if you do, most likely you are not going to get it on your bank account that fast. So if you want to make quick cash then you had better try to find a second job or try to sell something that you own. That is not going to make you rich but to pay your rent it might be the only thing there is, besides using your credit card, which can not be adviced.

If I need money now, what can I do to make money online?

Do you really need to make that cash on the internet? There are a lot of ways to earn money that don’t involve the internet and those are actually more profitable when it comes to short term income. Many different online money making methods usually require you to put in endless hours of work and even then they start to show profits months, even years after you started working on them. There are some exeptions to the rule but you won’t be making a long term income with them, you can start to get some extra cash quite quickly but you won’t be making it for a long time, neither is it ever going to be passive ever. One good example of this kind of income is online surveys that I have heard people are making some quick bucks out of. They are not necessarily the most long term source of extra cash but if you are ready to put in a few hours of work you could earn one or two hundred bucks out from it today. The biggest problem is that they cannot usually give you enough surveys so that you could be making a living out from it, but for some fast money it can be a good way to start with. Also even if you are earning the money right now you are not going to see it before you meet the payment treshold and your payment method gets verified and the actualy payment is made. Some of them send out money once a week, some once a month, so if you need money now this might not be what you are looking for.

So what can you do if you want to make money online right now? Your options are quite limited since getting money at this instant is not that easy no matter what you do, and if you want to make it happen on the internet then it is even more limited. Many of you (and me) start out with bright eyes believing everything they read and jumping to every possible quick money scheme that there is. Even if I need money now, I have learnt to calm down before I make my decisions and wait a little to do some research on the method that I am actually going to try out. Jumping to every bandwagon that there is is only going to get you in to more financial difficulties if you don’t pay attention. There are a lot of online money making ways that can be profitable if you put enough work and time in it. Many of us are looking for that ready set package that is going to give you money that you need and it is going to do it now. The most important thing is that you are not going to have to think about it and learn it for yourself. You could even pay a little for it to make it happen, but the one reason why you are doing it is that you don’t want to work. Well news flash (if you did not hear it somewhere else already); you are not going to get anything free and without work. The best ways to earn online income are going to take a lot of time and effort.

The hardest part that people are not willing to accept is the work. I have been there because I need money and I want to know what I can do to get it. I have been looking for ways to buy myself the money that I need and when I think about it afterwards it sounds really stupid.  I have never been in to investing money to get profits but when I feel like I need extra cash I am happy to spend the money that I have to get some more. That ends up in me having a big zero on my bank account and slapping myself on the forehead saying “DOH!”.

Finding out the best ways to help when you need money is not that easy. There are a lot of scammers on the internet and by following then you will only end up giving them your money and not receiving that much in return. Most of their methods seem to be revolving around solutions that can be helpful if you already have a succesful business offline, and you want to bring that to the internet and make the most profit out of it. This group of a-listers is not going to be that helpful if you really are in the serch for things that you can do to make money online. For real ways to earn a little extra you should try to google “make money online” and look at the webpages that there are. There is a blogspot blog which is on the second page (wtf) at the time that I am writing this which will carry all the possible knowledge that you will ever require if you need money. The biggest problem with that site is that it is prety poorly organized and if you want to learn a good amount of things you will need to read through all the posts and comments and write down the important things, and afterwards cross out the things that have changed since many of those articles have been written quite a long ago.

The funny thing in internet marketing is the two “schools” that there are. There is the one that is telling you that you don’t need to socialize if you need mone now, since that is not something that you should do. It will take your time and that is time away from your main goal, which is getting that money and actually doing the work for it. The flagship of this crowd is Griz who is constantly telling people that they need to stop reading and start working if they want to make money, and that the last thing you are going to get money from is writing about making money. Well this is the first blog where I am writing about that and I have to say that it is so new that I can’t see yet the potential but I am sure that if you don’t own a niche like Griz does then you are most likely not going to get anything from this niche. The issue is that people who are reading these blogs are marketers who know not tho click on those get rich quick ads and certainly they are going to take every affiliate sale with a grain of salt. You can’t really sell anything to them unless you become a social leader, just like the people that guys like Griz are advicing to stay away from. They make the money off the pople they are trying to help to get money and in my books that is simply not that great. First you need to build up an authority on them and when they trust you as someone who is going to help you when you need money now the leader is going to sell you an ebook on how you can get help when you need money now.

Social blogging has been a joke amongst internet marketers for a while now, and I still believe that the people who are making the most money online are not the ones that are writing about how they are making it. They are selling some great products on a website that they have promoted to be on the first page of google with high competition keywords like payday loans and credit cards. They are the big fish that no-one know who they are and as far as I know the owner of creditcards.com could be mr Brears himself. Who knows.

Allyn Hane of blogger illustrated stated an insteresting point on the whole social blogging and internet marketing pointing it clearly that even the most anti-socialbloggers can be social. You might want to check out his vlog since it has a lot of interesting videos about anything that is going on in the internet marketing world. Most likely if you have not heard of his blog, you have not been reading he actual top five of the MMO blogs. I’ll give you a hint, they are not Problogger, Yaro, Shoemoney, Copyblogger and Jon Cow. Those guys are full of fluff posting daily just to keep readers happy and in the constant need for money and looking for what they can do to get it. I may have mentioned it before that I was a follower of Yaro for a short time before I found out that he was not going to sell me anything more than just a dream, and he was never going to show me how to get that money that I need.

If I can’t get money now online, what can I do?

Like I started out the post you are not going to get any fast cash or free money from the internet  but all will require a lot of work and a heck of a lot of time. If you want to make it happen a little faster you can use your money wisely to speed up the process by outsourcing some of the work like writing articles. This way you will not have to spend all that time typing but you can spend more time promoting your websites so that you are able to attract that traffic that you will get that cash from. You are going to need a lot of it and preferrably people who are willing to make a purchase on the internet, and not just looking for information on the thing that you are writing about.

For a few tips on how to get that cash on the internet here are a few tips you can use. Hit the flea markets; sell your stuff that you don’t need. You are not going to make a lof money but if you need money now you can do it right now. Just find out all the clothes that don’t use anymore an don’t want to have. Price them low so that someone will buy them and you got yourself some extra cash when you need money the most. The problem is that you are actually going to make yourself “less” rich. When you are selling something way below its value you are not getting richer, you are just turning it to some fast money. The same thing goes with every possible auction site the there is (ebay and so on). You are not going to get more than the value of the item unless you manage to get a good old fashioned bidding where there are two or more people who really want to have that unique item that you have for sale.

Getting a second job, now that is something that can get you some real money but not now. You will have to wait for your paycheck and usually your first one is held and you will have to wait even longer. If you need money now then that is not something you can do to get money fast. Although it is a good way to earn more money when your lifestyle is beyond your income and it will not only make you more money but it will also cut down on your spending since you will not have that much time on your hands to be spending, So either way you are going to gain from that eveything else but time. Most people can’t do this for a long period of time since it is exhausting. For a short term source of extra money it can be a good idea to find another job, but in long term I suggest you try to find alternative methods.

Like with everything else, people who are trying to be innovative and lead the way, succeed. If you are trying to sell your stuff when you need money now, you are always going to need more money. If you are one of those people who start a website which will gather people who want to sell stuff fast, and people who are willing to buy stuff, you are going to be relieved from your needs for more money. If you become someone who will hire someone who need a second job, then you are most likely not going to need that much extra money. Try something that you have not tried yet and get in a situation where you no longer need money now because you now what you can do. That is the position where all of us want to be and it is something that will get you away from the circle of borrowing money and paying it back with interests.

I have come across a lot of websites that are supposed to be telling you what to do when you need money now and want to know what you can do to get it. The most ridiculous advice that I found are the following.

Donate your plasma. Well that is a good way to get some money but as far as I know you can’t get paid to do it elsewhere but the States (once again correct me if I am wrong). Where I live you get a cup of coffee and a warm handshake when you donate and you can’t do it that often. I am not sure about every country’s laws and regulations on this but you can donate plasma basically once a month or something like that. If you want a free toast and a cup of coffee for free then why not give a half a liter of your blood to help someone in need. I am totally for donating blood since there are so many stupid stuff happening in the world which is causing a lot of poeple to be hospitalized for reasons that are dependant on someone elses killing spree and not no something that they choose.

I think most of the tips on getting fast money are about biodonation. That means you give a part of you that you get paid for. The next one is ofcourse donating sperm. Just like with blood there is a limit of how much you can do it, and if you are willing to make a living jacking off in a cup then think again. You don’t get paid that much and since you can do it only so often, it is a no go. But heck, if you want to make a quick buck or two and live in the States then why not go to do these both and you can afford to buy a subway on your way home. Don’t plan on these when you need money.

Begging… Give me a break. You can earn probably a few cents here and there if you are lucky. Online begging? WTF? Enough already.

If these are not going to get me money, what can I do?

Here comes the hard part of this post. If you want to make money fast you are probably going to need to work for it. It can get even worse. You might have to ask for an advance on your salary and get on your knees to do some real begging. There are not many respectable ways that are going to get you some money wihout interests involved, and if you are too proud to let your boss know that you need a little extra cash this month then you are probably going to need to get a loan, since in my opinion there are no real ways to help you when you need money now and don’t know what to do to get it. If you read this far then you probably are serious about this and did not click on that shameless plug on the first paragraph. I personally have no experiance with that program and I can not say anything about it. If you want to try out ever online money making scheme there is then take a look, but I can not guarantee you that you will make any money out of it.

The problem was that I was too easy. It started off with showing how much money the guy behind the program was making; he had videos about him showing off checks that were coming from various sources like Google and Clickbank, which are the most trustworthy advertisers/affiliates that you want to be having. They are known to pay you the cash that you deserver and they pay good bucks for targeted traffic. That means that if you provide the advertisers with visitors who are actually looking to buy that product that they are advertising, you will be getting some real money. Now let’s get back to the online scam.

Since I need money and need to find out what I can do to make money online I was an easy catch. That is what they prey on – the desperate people. I had just lost my job so I was willing to do anything to get some cash and that is where their selling speeches came to the table. When you show an alcoholic a bottle of booze you are most likely going to get a response that is similar to “GIMME THAT!”.. That is what happened to me when I was watching the crap flogging that was coming from an a-list blogger and I wanted to find out what he was doing to get that money. The problem was that no matter how far I went with his free previews on the internet, he never really told me how I could be making money without spending any money. He just told me that if I need money I need to get enrolled with his mastermind program that will guarantee to make me rich. Well with those guys there is one that you should always remember. They are like the people trying to teach other people how to win the lottery.

The thing with this is that they are not actually providing anyone with any good information, they just found out that teaching sells and that is all. You don’t want to be one of those people who buy in to that crap and that is why you should be constantly aware that no matter what someone is trying to tell you on the internet, you should be keeping a filter on at all times to avoid the scams, and to keep up with your original question: I need money now, what can I do to make money online without spending money in the first place.

This is why I am telling you about a method that I use when I need money now and all I need to do is to use twitter just like I use it every day anyway. Twitter is somewhat addictive; you use it to spend time. Why not make money at the same time? The Twitter Cash System is guaranteed to bring you extra money when you need it the most without working your ass off trying to learn a new make money online scam which is designed to only bring money to the people selling the program.

The biggest problem with most ways to get some extra cash is that when you need money now, you don’t have time to start building websites and writing great content to get people interested with what you are say. You are going to need a big and steady readership which will eventually start providing you with traffic which will bring you the money.  This system is so simple that it enables you to build a huge amount of followers to which you will promote different products and services and get paid for it. Can you imagine having 10 000 followers and just telling them what to buy and get paid when they do? With a group that large there is bound to be some people who are targeted to the exact prodcts that you are promoting.

The key thing with this is that it does not feel like work; you will have to spend time on it and keep doing it regularly to be able to maintain a steady source of income, but in the end, you are most likely going to use some social media anyway, why not use it to make you some extra cash. Avoid those quick way to riches scams whic don’t really provide you with anything useful, but take your money. If you need money now and want to know what you can do to make money online then take a closer look in to the TCS, it won’t cost you a dime to take a look, and I can guarantee that you will be interested in what they can offer you. It can not be any simpler to create an extra source of income doing something that you would be doing anyway; tweeting!
