How to get started with internet marketing
Lots of people ask me how to get started with internet marketing. They want to quit their jobs, travel, have more time to meet women, etc.
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.
Xrumer tutorial – How to use Xrumer for whitehat SEO
A lot of people buy Xrumer and have no idea how to use it. If you're interested in buying it just go to the official Xrumer site.
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.
Adsense templates series (Free Adsense ready templates)
The most important thing to make good money with Google Adsense is ad placement. Your ads need to blend with your site and they need to be near your content. The best ad spots are above the fold and near the center of the page.
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.

I am not sure if people are still using those nowadays but I have them floating around so I'll share them.

I don’t need a full time job, I make money on the internet (For beginners)
I learned how to make money on the internet, and so can you. I started with no money or knowledge whatsoever. So can you.
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.
