My Past On Making Money Online
Since past three years I’m involving myself with making money online, eventually, there were a lot of up and down happens at me. At year 2005, when waiting for my entrance to MMU, I spent most of my time by reading all the tips, hint and tricks of people making money online. Then, at that time the most popular thing was affiliation, which was not working for me. I setup a website, www.businesstrue.com(don’t exist anymore) and hoping that someone will buy something from me. Well, that’s not working because at that time I don’t have any ideas on internet marketing. I still remember, the hype of reciprocal links was influenced all the internet marketers to exchange the links. Even me installing the reciprocal manager 3(I don’t remember who’s the creator), in fact I’m getting it for free(with the help from someone).
But, I’m really disappointed. I’m hoping that I’ll get a good PR for my damn ‘good’ website, but nothing change. Instead I’m sticking at PR3 for the whole year. But, the good thing with businesstrue.com was, my site was accepted to join the Google Adsense in which the account was still being used by me until now.
Then, after doing some research about Google Adsense, I’m realizing that ‘Content is The King’. Therefore, I’m creating another website, but this time I using the articledashboard script for developing my own article directory. The fact is, I spent around 3 days for tweaking all the layouts and hoping my adsense income will increase. Naah, nothing different compare to my traditional businesstrue.com. The site doesn’t contribute much, maybe due the high competition of articledashboard’s users. But, the site was given PR 4 from google..for me it’s ok laa
After a while, I start to learn the black hat strategies. This time, I get involve with ‘Made For Adsense’(MFA) sites. At that time, the tactic of building the websites was just a few clicks away. Maybe for some marketers, do you still remember the nichemonster by Keith Baxter? Yeah, it was so damn good at that time, I only have to search for the high-clicks keyword and generate it from a software. Then, I filtered some unnecessary keywords and pasted it on the nichemonster software. Since nichemonster was a web-application software, so, it was much easier than what you though. The server will automatically builds the 100+ pages of websites, scrape the relevant articles and more. Instead, someone had hired me to build 500+ websites, and I earned 30 for each, in which made myself being rich for a while.
In year 2006, JP-Schoffle had launched his great product, which we called it as Adsense Firesale. The script had a lot of feature, such as the articles were automatically rotated when being refresh. Instead, there were a lot of enhancements, such as pre-building boxes for the advertisement, contact form and more. When using the Adsense Firesale, I’m building around 400 websites and happily generating money. The marketing strategy also become much easier, I hired my brothers to do the pinging as well as submitting the sites to the social bookmarking services. The result was impressive, I’m gaining an enormous income for 3 months.
But, after Google had implemented the smart pricing, my income was fall down like hell. At that time, I was discouraged and feeling like to forget the internet world.
Since then, I realized that I should change my style on making money. Therefore, I’m entering the blogging world and hope that I’ll earn more in future.
