So about 3 years ago I was 19 years old. I had about $1000 to my name and a part time job as a security agent that paid $9 per hour. I had no education, no desire to study or work. All I wanted to do was travel and pick up chicks. I didn't feel this was possible and I was confused and depressed. I felt powerless.

I was so confused that I had signed up for this crappy life coaching program in Toronto. I wont mention the name but it was very crappy. Yet, the guy was a Millionaire Mind Intensive fan and he brought me along since it was free.

The seminar is 3 days long 10 hours or more a day of interactive talks and exercises (no boring stuff). Those guys are like Tony Robbins. They scream at you and brainwash you into thinking the right way.

Before I had beliefs such as:

"I'm too young to make money"
"I'm too stupid to make money"
"I'm too lazy to make money"
"My English isn't good enough to make money"
"You need money to make money"
"Making money is hard"
"Starting a business isn't possible for me"
"I don't want to be rich. Being rich is useless and not for me"

If you know anything about self improvement you know that with beliefs like that there's no way someone can be financially free aka "travel and pick up chicks" like I wanted to.

So after 30 hours of pure brain washing I eradicated all those beliefs and here's just some of the beliefs I have now:

"I manage my money better than anyone I know"
"Making money is not only easy, it is natural and does not require me to work a lot"
"My money works for me and makes me more money"
"Nothing is impossible in term of money. I can live any lifestyle I want"
"Even if I would happen to lose all my money and passive income sources, it does not matter because I know how to make money and it is not difficult"
"I am intelligent and driven enough to make as much money as my lifestyle requires"
"I am financially free and will always be"

Those are my real beliefs. You can ask my friends if you think I'm lying. They are more than beliefs. They are my convictions.

The seminar made a big difference in the way my life played out. You can sign up here if you want. You can sign up for the same 3 days seminar that I took for $97 (used to be free back in the day) or you can sign up for a one evening talk for free.

So guess what happened right after the seminar. I started working on my business. I had a friend I met while traveling. He introduced me to internet marketing. I didn't know jack at the time. I worked every single hour of everyday for 6 months. Do you think I could have done that with my old beliefs? Of course not I would have given up.

After that, I hired employees and stopped working. I managed my money well and saved and re-invested my profits. Do you think I could have done that with my prior beliefs? No I would have spent all my cash on hookers and blow (just kidding).

I started traveling and working whenever I wanted to. I still work from time to time. I had some rough time last September when all my websites got banned by Google. But I had $20k saved up and 10 trained employees ready to do work for me. So I wasn't screwed, because I had managed my money. Now 8 months later I make the same amount of money I was making before.

So you can imagine how sick my life as been ever since. I've been living a nice lifestyle downtown Montreal and Toronto, doing whatever I want, working out, going out every night and day. I even meditate one hour per day. Who has time to do that?

I lived in Thailand and Asia for 6 months, in Brazil for 2 months, in Florida for 2 months and I am now living in San Francisco. Now the only thing that keeps me from traveling is my love for Montreal and my crazy saving habits.

So anyway if you want to sign up just go here. Like I said before it seems that if you want to get the same 3 days seminar that I took it cost $97 but there is a free option also but it's only one evening.

Well first of all that won't be easy. There is no magic pill. You will have to work. All that bullcrap that you read on how to make money online quickly is a lie.

Also working on the computer is not a good lifestyle, so I don't recommend PPC (Pay per click) because it will never allow you to quit working. It's also very difficult to get into for beginners and even for experts it's difficult.

So what I recommend is SEO (Search engine optimization).

I got started with a completely free and open membership site called Thirty Day Challenge. They do make some money from ads, referrals and they have their own paid membership site once you finish the "Thirty day challenge". But I have never joined it and never will.

It is a simple formula that if you put a lot of work into it will work for sure.

How it works is you choose a market, you make a website, you build links to it and when you get visitors you sell affiliate products, ads or develop your own product and sell it.

It's not magic, it needs efforts, but it works. In my opinion everything else on the internet is a scam.

I have been using Xrumer on my whitehat websites for a couple of months and I've achieved very good rankings and PR from completely new websites. A lot of them went from completely new websites to PR3-5 (They have a few thousand backlinks each). Some of them even started to rank for competitive keywords and bring me a nice income (While some of them are still sandboxed, you can't win everytime).

All of this is completely legit and will never get you banned from Google. Those sites will last years and bring me passive income which is what I'm aiming for.

The first step will be to build a nice base of backlinks with relevant anchor text. From 500-3000 backlinks is good (10 000+ if you want to rank for something very competitive but I don't recommend going into such markets with new sites). You can use any whitehat method to build those backlinks but do not use Xrumer itself. Use directory submissions, forum signatures and profiles, article submissions, Web 2.0 sites, etc. If you want to get the best links, spy on your competition and get the same kind of links as them.

Once you have a good amount of backlinks, use Google or Bing's webmaster tool to export and save all those backlinks into a spreadsheet. You can also use the query "linkdomain:example.org -site:example.org" on Yahoo and save the results using the Firefox addon SEO for Firefox. If you have a list of some of your backlinks that are not even indexed yet that is even better. Just to be clear, those are a list of the links going to YOUR site (Your backlinks).

Then use Hrefer (It comes with Xrumer) to gather a good list of websites to spam. Then start spamming and put all of your backlinks list that you gathered earlier in rotation. Example: {http://url1.com|http://url2.com|http://url3.com|etc.}

Don't use anchor text for those (Use anchor text on your real links, those are only links to your links, not directly to your website).

Do not post more than one link per post because otherwise you will link them with each other which makes it detectable by Google.

You can use any kind of content for the posts but make sure they are VERY spinned (Use lots of keyword tokens such as {hello|hi|good morning|etc.}.

Use a text editor like Excel and Editplus to place all the urls in the right format without it taking hours. Use the "join line" function and the "replace all" function.

That's it. In a couple of months you'll start getting good PR and good rankings. This strategy will not get you banned, a bad reputation nor will give you any penalty on Google.

To make it easy for you, I will be sharing Adsense ready templates where you only need to put your Publisher ID and you'll be ready to start earning with an optimized theme. Those themes will guarantee you the highest CTRs. The first three are WordPress themes. I will be sharing other kinds of templates in the future. Click here to learn about WordPress.

**NEW** I just uploaded 3 HTML templates for people who are still using them. See the bottom of the page to download.

The Adsense templates series Number 1 (WordPress theme)

Number 1 can be used for pretty much any niche. It has a grey background and one sidebar on the left. There is a text ad over the content and a text/image ad in the sidebar. The ad over the content disappears on pages and posts to give place for a text ad within the content. You can see a demo here. You can download it directly and at no cost here.

The Adsense templates series Number 2 (WordPress theme)

Number 2 is also neutral looking and could be used for any market. It has a white background and two sidebars on each sides. It uses ad blocks in the sidebars and in the content. You can see a demo here. You can download it directly and at no cost here.

The Adsense templates series Number 3 (WordPress theme)

Number 3 is kind of a cosy theme. It's easy on the eyes and it has a nice finish to it. It has a white background and two sidebars on the right. One of the sidebars has an ad block in it and there are ad blocks in the content of the posts and pages. You can see a demo here. You can download it directly and at no cost here.

It will be very hard and you need to be quite motivated. The best way is to start with a small investment ($20 could be enough) to buy a domain name (.com) and to buy some hosting. But you can definitely start for free.

I started with a free training program (actually free, no free trial and other BS like that). It teaches pretty much everything you need to get started and how to make your first $$$ from nothing.

It is aimed at stay at home moms who don't know anything about computers, teenagers that don't have money, even people that speak little English should be able to understand it and with effort, make it work. It is aimed at the complete beginner. It teaches how to make a site, how to get traffic from search engines and social networks and how to monetize this traffic.

It's called the Thirty Day Challenge. Click here to learn how to make money on the internet.
