Update on Our HYIP Journey...

Day 32... 148 to go with Felmina. :)

But that's okay - our $1000 in the Basic Option has turned into over $1600 in those 32 short days and before we know it, we will be at the half way mark. Actually we are planning to start drawing out soon so we can get our initial deposit back. And then the rest is free money. lol

Some things we have learned in the past few weeks with HYIPs... there are TON of them out there. Very few have lasted for more than a few months. They rise up... and disappear.

Only a few of these progams, such as EurEx and Felmina, have a decent enough plan to stay in place for several years.

"How can these companies pay so much interest on a daily basis?"

I had the same questions and it's rather interesting if you study it at all. In fact if you go to the EurEx Trade site here you will find some VERY interesting information on how the trading is done and they even have daily trade reports.

Our little peon minds have a hard time grasping the figures these big gurus work every day, but when you realize they deal in MILLIONS of dollars on a daily basis and are making an average of 2-3% on this money EACH AND EVERY DAY, then it is a little easier to understand how they can take our money, invest it and work with it for a short nine or even 6 months and turn into an incredible amount of money.

For now we are only heavily invested with Felmina but are keeping an eye on EurEx as well as they look very promising...

Cheers and good luck!

Here are the links to both programs where you can check them out to your heart's content:

Felmina Investment Opportunity

EurEx Trade Investments

Please remember: ONLY invest money you can afford to PLAY with!

Felmina... so far so good!

I love it how Felmina sends out those emails every day letting us know how much interest we made that day.

We are on day 22 and are making about a hundred bucks a day now which we letting compound at 100% for now.

Go check out the calculator here http://www.felmina.com/?ref=igotpaid ( click on the 'calculator' link at the top of the page there)

My friend Charlotte's first $1000 made her over $25,000 which she drew out the first part of August and she has another $25,000 coming in September - all from sticking in only $1000 into the Enhanced Option at 180 days. (Remember that when you use the Enhanced Option you lock your money IN for that many days which is why it pays more)

180 business days turns into around nine months.

Our next goal is to put in about $5000 more into the Basic Option so we can set the compounding at 30% and live off the interest this winter. :)

Please Remember:
Only invest what you can afford to play with - Many people have made MILLIONS with companies like this, but it IS taking a gamble with your money. ZeekRewards was a stark reminder of what CAN happen in this industry. Play safe and have fun!

Visit the link below and set up Egopay / Payza to drop in your first $20 and test it. I set up my Egopay and Payza with no problems at all and used it to drop some money in.

Felmina!

Okay, anyone that has been following me for any length of time KNOWS that I have tried almost everything under the sun as far as internet marketing and making money from home.

Well...

I found something really cool to add to my pile of baskets ( you know, they say to not have all your eggs in one basket...?!)

This time my husband is just as excited as I am...

You know, it's crazy how you can get so wrapped up in what you are doing sometimes that you can COMPLETELY miss out on other exciting things happening all around you... and sometimes RIGHT under our noses!

That's how it was with Felmina ... and a few other things kinda like it.

HYIPs ... that's what they call these programs. (High Yield Investment Programs)

I could seriously KICK myself.


I found out about this stuff a year ago and if I had done some due diligence I would be making some really good money right now.

I am talking hundreds of thousands.

I know.

It's almost scary.

BUT...

These programs work and people are making some wicked money with them.

I actually got on board with one and then got scared and backed away.

Silly, but oh well... I am now on board, all the way. *grin*

I will be posting more later on the specifics of some of these programs but for now, the ones I am involved in are some that have been proven successful by some former business partners of mine that have made money with them...

shoot me an email at viola1968@gmail.com if you need to talk to someone about it...

_________________________________________
Felmina is the main one I am involved in at the time and here is a link to get more information - just remember that with these programs - they ARE high YIELD and high RISK, so only invest what you can afford to play with! =)

NEW!! And What We Have All Been Waiting For!

SBI now has a monthly subscription option!

Woohoo! There are MANY folks that have been waiting for that....

So for all of you that have had a hard time saving up for the $299 yearly fee, you can now have your own SBI site for $29.99 a month.

It can be paying for itself in several months - mine took about 4 months till it was paying for itself and at about 7 months it is more than paying for itself in adsense alone...within a year it doubled and the next year it more than quadrupled.

And it can only go UP from there! :)

Go check it out HERE!

Whoa - How Time Flies By!

Especially when you are having fun. :)

A few quick updates on my life...

• School - things are going very well. For those of you that are new to my blog... I have been a homeschooling mom for many years and this year we are sending our kids to Christian School.... I absolutely love it!

• My SBI Site - things are picking up. Am getting over a hundred unique visitors a day now and am adding content , although not nearly as much as I would like to.... maybe after the holidays.

• Ebay and Amazon - I have been selling a lot of old Records lately and am thinking it is because of Christmas coming up. (I bought an old guy's collection and am selling them but you can ALWAYS pick them up at second hand stores for next to nothing and sell them)

So now you know why I have not been posting much of late!

For those of you that are building Squidoo Lenses - if you have not gotten the One Week Marketing - you are wasting time spinning your wheels!

Because of what I learned with the OWM - much of my traffic to my SBI site is coming from various Squidoo lenses.

On BAD thing that happened to me in the last few weeks was that
I had all my wordpress blogs locked up because of one blog I made that was
against their policies - or so they said - no warning... nothing... just locked
them all up.

Frustrating!!

To say the least, BUT THANKFULLY I was not depending on Wordpress Blogs for most of my income.

ULTIMATELY, you will want to build your own site instead of using places such as blogs and Squidoo... so that con not ever happen to you!

And when you do that , unless you have a handle on all the html stuff (and KUDOS to you if you do!!)... but most people don't.... and if you are one of those that don't have a handle on it all, then SBI is definitely the way to get your internet own real estate out there.

Top Ten Money Making Tools

Here is a list of the top 10 Money Making Programs sold on the internet today.

(Or that is what I was told!)

I am simply listing them as a resource list in case someone is interested in checking any of them out. And no, I did NOT check them all out.

We are all responsible adults that can make our own decisions and while one program may work for one person an entirely different one will work for the next!

(Most of these programs will help you learn how to market Clickbank products)

But just to WARN you so you don't get fully ticked off... many of these programs are set up to where when you exit the page there is a counter-offer given - I VERY MUCH dislike those little boxes popping up so am warning you, PLUS giving the heads up that you can get some of them for a better price if you pretend to exit. :)

I STILL think SBI (Site Build It) is the absolute best for beginners - but not everyone is going to have the same opinion on that! :)

Okay here goes:

#1) AutoTraffic Avalanche

#2) Traffic Syphone

#3) AutoBlog Samauri

#4) ZeroCost Commissions

#5) Hyper Facebook Traffic System

#6) Blogging to the Bank

#7) Mobile Monopoly (tapping into the mobile market)

#8) 20 Minute Payday

#9) Zero Down Traffic Blueprint

#10) Backlink and SEO Software

Simple Steps to Making Money

Some of you are asking,"Can you show me exactly the steps to make money on the internet...?"

And actually, yes, I can.

Will it make you money?

Only YOU can decide that!

You see, although I or anyone else, can show you EXACTLY what we do to make money with the internet , only YOUR determination and willingness to stay consistent will determine YOUR results.

So What's MY Secret?

Sorry, I don't have one. Unless you call 'not giving up' a secret ingredient! But I DO have a method.

First of all you need to understand that if you know NOTHING at all about affiliate marketing, then you NEED to get something like SBI ( SiteBuildIt) or OWM ( One Week Marketing) to help you with that.

Preferably SBI Click here to see SBI (SiteBuildIt as that is hands down, the BEST program I have come across yet for Beginners.

Most of what I learned came from SBI as I built my website. (click here to peek at my SBI site)

They have the best system I have EVER come across that will not only help you build your own website but you WILL know all about SEO when you are done. :)

My Methods

I am constantly adding pages top my SBI site, of course, as that is my main website at this point, but I also like to build smaller niche websites... in fact, these are becoming quite addicting to me.

The niche websites are smaller than my SBI site and much more tightly focused, so it only takes a few days to set one up and then I move on to another one.

I use a variety of methods to build the smaller sites - Squidoo, blogs, articles, etc...

What is a Niche Website?

A niche site is a blog, Squidoo lens, or what I prefer is a wordpress blog hosted on something like Hostgator that is ONLY about a specific thing.

For instance, building a site about Halloween Costumes may be one thing, but to build a niche site on a topic WITHIN the whole Halloween costumes arena is much more profitable.

There are HUNDREDS of niche sites you can build off that one topic. Like Superman costumes, Batman costumes, Tinkerbell costumes... you get the picture.

Why separate them out like that?

Simple. To please the search engines, and when you please them, they are much kinder, or is it 'more kind'... whatever... kinder sounds better. lol....but anyways, Google loves it when we are more SPECIFIC on what our site is actually about.

Someone is searching for a peacock costume and google is going..."let me see, here's one with a bazillion costumes, they probably have a peacock one, or no WAIT, here is one with ONLY peacock costumes...perfect... and there you are on page one."

Yeah, I know, that was a bit crude. But you get my point, right?

So a Few Simple Steps

1) Find a niche like that. I have done niche sites in anything from weight loss stuff, don't go there, it is a HARD niche, to solar stuff... hot topic with MANY niches....storage sheds, furniture, toys, home decor.... you name it, there is a niche site you can build with it. ;)

2) Don't know how to find the right keywords? Use a free tool like https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal ( use this every time I search for the right keywords to use on an article)

3) If you have never done anything like Hostgator with wordpress, then just use a free place like Squidoo , Webs.com, Weebly.com , or Blogger.com and start building pages.

4)Find Products to market in your niche. I use cj.com , shareasale.com and Clickbank the most when I am looking for products to promote on my website. Adsense is of course, always great to add for income as well.

5) I can not stress enough that if this is all somewhat new to you, save yourself a lot of sweat and failure and start with SBI first.

If you don't have the money for SBI, do what I did, sell stuff on Ebay or do odd jobs until you have enough saved up to purchase it.

I will NEVER regret doing that!

Until next time.... happy writing!

Affiliate Marketing is Not That Hard!

I got an email from Jennifer with One Week Marketing today... if you are not AT LEAST receiving her emails, you are LOSING OUT!

She reminded us that Affiliate Marketing is really NOT hard... she went on to say that although it takes dedication and determination, it is not hard.

The steps that we take are really simple steps.

(she often adds free resources in her emails and this time was no exception...:)

While it may be a bit confusing when we are first looking at it, it is not hard to do... not NEAR as complicated as some folks make it out to be.

I realize that for many folks just starting out, it is a stretch to buy any kind of material to get started with... I was there not so long ago.

BUT Jennifer has so much she offers FOR FREE that it is silly NOT to at least sign up - Please DO IT TODAY if you have not done so already... CLICK HERE and get the first 18 pages of her book for FREE plus that will get you on her mailing list for future information...

Granted, you will NOT get all the stuff that we get as owners of her OWM plan, but hey, take advantage of what's free at least, ok?!

When you have some extra money, go ahead and get her BASIC OWM Plan - it's only $47!

If you have been doing affiliate marketing for awhile and are struggling... then don't wait.... go get it today.. Believe me, I know... my Clickbank checks doubled and tripled after using her methods.

Don't Forget the Power of Amazon

I have been an avid Ebay seller for about 5 years now and it has helped us over many a hump financially.

If you need money NOW, it is one of the fastest ways to get some cash. Especially if you are packrat like I am and keep accumulating STUFF!

But recently I discovered how easy it is to sell on Amazon.

I have used their affiliate program for quite awhile but to be honest, it
is quite piddly money unless you a gazillion visitors to your site and even
then, there are other much better affiliate programs to promote, with higher
commissions.

However, if you sell your OWN stuff DIRECTLY on their website, you can make pretty decent money. Especially if you have things like:

• music
• books
• games
• videos

It does not cost to list, like Ebay does. They take a percentage out of your sales and plop the rest into your bank account.

Although I am an even bigger fan of building up an online web with things like Squidoo , blogs, and affiliate marketing programs.... I Just wanted to share about Amazon real quick for those of you that are needing a quick buck. :)

I picked up a book last week at a yard sale for 25 cents and sold it on Amazon a few days later for $10!

And now I need to get back to listing some stuff on there as I still have some old records to get listed ...

Happy marketing!

Ahhh...School Has Started!

After homeschooling for many years, we are sending our youngest ones to a local Christian school this year.

And all of a sudden I have several hours a day, all to myself....


I absolutely am loving it!



My list of "To Do Stuff" is in front of me... :)


One of the very first things on my list (and I have started it already) is to do several new campaigns with the One Week Marketing Plan.


I keep a copy of that plan in front of me as I follow it for my new campaign.


For those of you that are brand new to OWM, it is simply a tool to help with ANYTHING you wish to promote and make sales from.


I have used the OWM method for my Ebay log furniture store, and now get oodles of traffic to Ebay through Squidoo and my blog because of it.


I have used it to promote my Emergency-Survival-Skills.com website (that I built using SBI)and get traffic to it every day from my OWM campaigns.


click here----->One Week Marketing <-------click here!

So anyways... that is what I am up these days.... along with all the usual "Mom" stuff, like in about half an hour I drive the kids to school.... come back home and get the laundry taken care of ... take another son to the airport (he leaves to visit his older brother in CA for a week).... make sure Dad knows he needs to meet Daughter No 1 to test drive a car at 3pm....


Isn't life good?! :-)


Enjoy your day!

A Plug for One Week Marketing!

It's been awhile since I have put in a plug for the One Week Marketing Plan as I have so busy with my SBI site and I also have a ton of other stuff going on this summer...like aquiring about 4000 old records that I am helping my daughter with as a business... =)

But anyways, I have campaigns running that I set up using the OWM and the beauty of that is that it is floating out there even though I don't do anything with them... making me sales here and there.

The other morning when I checked my Clickbank account, I had only two clickthroughs which is not good at all as far as numbers go but they both ended up as sales so it was REALLY good as far as numbers go - lol!

But the amazing thing was they both came from two very different products that I had created some Squidoo lenses and blogs on and then never did much with it as I just didn't have time to do research on it to write articles etc...

So the bottom line is that if you are doing affiliate marketing and not making ANY sales it may be because you don't have a clear action plan....

I can not stress it enough that you MUST have an action plan. The One Week Marketing has one of the best and easy to follow plans that I have seen yet and has helped many over the hump with the whole affiliate marketing thing - I know it did me!

GRAB YOUR COPY OF ONE WEEK MARKETING HERE and let your story be the next one!!

WooHoo - SBI is Paying for Itself!

That is right, my SBI site is now paying for itself... It will do way more than that, of course, but I am tickled as I was giving it 5 months to start paying for itself and we are ahead of the game at this point. =)

Age of Site: 2 months and 3 days =)
Pages built: 48
Unique visitors: 50 - 80 a day


At this point I am averaging several bucks a day with adsense...and the cost of running an SBI site is less than a buck a day.

About 90% of my visitors are finding me thru google searches... for instance, if you google the phrase best survival knife and/or best survival knives, my site is on the first page at this point.

I had NO intention of writing anything much on that topic when I started the site but I noticed that I was getting traffic for that phrase so I went with it. =)

That is what will happen no matter what topic you go with - and I am assuming if you are doing affiliate marketing that your ultimate goal is to get an SBI site =)... If you have followed my writings at all you know by now that I do not usually push anything in the line of internet marketing but I just know that if you follow the steps that SiteBuildIt lays out for you, you will have a website to be proud of in six short months!

(If you are still uncertain how this all works click here to see a short overview on SBI for you...)

Well, I am off building more content to draw more traffic! Maybe in another month I will be up to several hundred a day or even a thousand...now THAT would be really cool! =)

OMG - I Have Been Too Busy to Post Here....

With summer and kids, smores, and late nights, I have not been posting to my blogs as I should.

Whenever I have some free time I am trying to add pages to my SBI site. It is now some over two months old, (I started it in April of 2009) and am at about 46 pages with between 30 - 50 visitors every day and most of them are coming from google which is making me quite happy. =)

I know I need to keep at it for about 5 - 6 months before I start seeing a lot of results, and I have seen results already so it's hard to not get a little impatient but it seems these things just take time, the way of the tortoise, steady and sure!

If you have not done so, make sure you grab your free copy of the SBI Affiliate Masters Course found at the top of this blog.

Remember that the quicker you START your SBI site, the quicker you will be at the coveted 6 months stage in the building process!

This is just a short post to let you all know that I AM still alive and working on my site at http://www.emergency-survival-skills.com/ for those following my SBI progress... but I am also taking time off for the more important things in life, like campfires, smores, visiting friends and all the fun summer stuff....

Until next time,
Have a great summer! =)

Got a Check Today....

I got my first affiliate check today thru my Survival Sites - it was for $45 which again is not much for some folks, but to me it is a sign that more is to follow. lol

I have been building my SBI site for a little over a month now and that more than pays for the first month so I figure I am on top of the game even this early IN the game. :)


I had a busy week so I need to go build a page tonight - just had to post that really quick for ya'll.

Been Looking at SBI??

I have been meaning to put this link on here sooner but with all my spare time being invested into building more pages for my SBI site - I kept forgetting it...

I know there are a number of my readers looking into SBI and trying to see if it is a good fit for them, but just like all of us, you want to BE SURE before you invest that moolah!

I have done so much stuff online and to get everything SBI offers at $25 a
month is actually a steal!

BUT - you can take a peak at the actual Action Guide we SBIers use to build our websites and it will not only help you with your decision but will also help shorten your learning curve once you actually DO purchase it.

VISIT THE SBI ACTION GUIDE LINK HERE - Have fun with it!

And as always,

Have a great day!

Made my First Adsense Money Today on My SBI Site :)

It's been about a month now and I have 26 pages built on my SBI site at http://www.emergency-survival-skills.com/ with an average of 20 - 35 visitors a day coming to it.

So I am adding adsense to some of the pages and some other affiliate links now... I try to add a page a day but some days, like today, I wasn't able to as I had too much other stuff going on... We are trying to get ready for a yard sale and it is pouring rain... :)

What I have been doing is building a page to add to the website and then I also submit the same page in article form to ezinearticles linking back to my site. It takes a few days for it to get accepted but eventually the articles will also draw trafic to the site.

I made my very first adsense money today - a total of .44 :)

That may not be much but hey, it is just the beginning and I know from my first experience with the SBI sites, that it takes a few months for it to really take off.... I only have adsense on a few pages so I need to go get it on more pages.

For those of you that are new to my blog -I have been working from home for several months now, and doing affiliate marketing, I finally started making money with it, after using the One Week Marketing , plan which focuses on using free methods... and yeah, I do brag on it a bit but then I DO have reason to, as that is what got me over the hump with all the online marketing stuff.... then I invested some of that profit into the SBI program which is like a business in a box. (and my ULTIMATE favorite but it does take a bit more of an investment, although $25 a month is really not that much!)

SBI will teach you how to not only build a website without having to know any html but is known to be one of the best methods of doing affiliate marketing or making money with adsense... I have a short review on it HERE as well.

I will keep you posted on my progress and in the meantime, as always,
Happy Marketing!

SBI update...

Summer is here and boy, it is a busy time with teenagers and all... Plus my hubby's job is still on hold, as it has been all winter. With not much luck at finding anything around here.





Although we are so thankful for what my Internet Marketing brings in for us, it is not to the point where we can just depend on it, so I am doing part time work, which keeps me hopping for sure.




But with what I am doing now with affiliate marketing and my new SBI site, I can do all that in the wee hours of the morning or late at night, if I have to... so that is nice and because I am so helplessly addicted to the online stuff, I DO find other times to work at it as well. :)




So, for those of you that are following my progress with SBI, ( here is my site if you have not seen it yet... www.Emergency-Survival-Skills.com ) I am at about 20 pages now and am getting steady traffic from Google every day. I know from past experience that it will keep steadily building as I add new pages and new content. (my goal is to have over a hundred pages built by July... we shall see if I get there!)




As of this writing on the 9th of May, you will notice there are not a whole lot of adsense ads and affilaite links added to the site yet. There is a reason for that. SBI explains all that in their FREE AFFILIATE MASTERS COURSE... if you have not taken advantage of that, you are missing out!




Anyways, today is another very busy Staurday at my house so I will need to be off and running... I have done my two hours of 'work' today on the computer so I need to get my 'real work in real life' done too, now! :)




Until next time...
Happy Marketing!

Building a New SBI Site...

Whew... I am well into building my new SBI site and am all pumped, full of ideas and not enough time to get it all done as fast as I would like to!

My very first SBI site that I had ever done was in one of the hardest niches on Planet Internet.... the work at home niche. DON'T put all your eggs in that basket, trust me! Although I do have this blog as my WAH Ramblings site, and I have a freeby website at http://www.montanamom5.com/ - other than that I put all my efforts into more profitable niches and topics than making money at home stuff.

So when I got discouraged with the WAH SBI site - and for those of you that are not familiar with SBI, it is the website in a box tool called SiteBuildIt! . Hundreds of work at home moms (and dads) are using it to build their own websites where they can earn a pretty good living with affiliate marketing and adsense.

But anyways, back to my ramblings, after I laid that first site down, I have gone the route of building blogs, Squidoo lenses and writing articles - all free methods to earn affiliate commissions online which is wonderful , especially if you use the OWM (One Week Marketing) guide to help you along. In fact, I didn't make any money till I started using that and following the simple steps outlined there....

I started making money and getting checks in the mail, so I decided to build another SBI site... Wow, all I can say, is WOW!

I had forgotten all the tools that are at my fingertips with it. The SBI system will do it all. It submits each page to various search engines immediately after it is built, it checks that all the links are working, but most importantly of all.... it will tell you as you build each page, whether or not it will please the Google Search Engine and spiders. That is HUGE!!

For any of you that have been following my blogs at all, you all know that I am not perfect. I have grammar errors, big time! And usually I think way faster than I can type, which makes for hard reading at times... so hey, if I can do this, ANYBODY can!!

What are you waiting for? :)

If this is all brand new to you - I would suggest to go build your first blog once. If you want to, send me a link to it, and I'll give you some hints or tips on what you can do with it. Or grab a simple tool or program to help you. There are a variety of them scattered throughout my blog here... and just get started!

Until next time...

Have fun!

Don't Know What to Write About??

Every writer has those moments - the blank memory times .... and then we all have those moments as well, when the pens fly (or the fingers) and it seems the articles, or blog posts or whatever we are trying to write about just flows...

We all love those times and have learned - somewhat anyways - to live with the not so good moments when we seem to have to squeeze our brain to exude any kind of sentence.

I have an idea for you.... and this is especially for those of you that like to write about anything under the sun..... just for the kicks of writing. :) Yep, there are those of us that just love to write and just wish we had more ways to monetise what we just wrote - lol

What if I told you that there ARE ways to do exactly that?

Ever heard of google trends ??

It is an amazing tool - you will find the hottest trends on google searches from anything like " kal penn death " to "sat scores" and "blind pilot "...

There are folks that simply have websites with articles on all sorts of things and follow the google trends to learn what to write about then monetise with things like adsense, etc...

Here is what one writer shared about that. You can read it HERE...

I will keep you posted on what is happening with my writings on 'trendy material' :)

Ahhh... Home Again After Two Weeks Vacation!

What a beautiful thing it is to go on a vacation but even more beautiful to come back home again!

We went from MT to MI to visit family - ran into blizzards both ways - got to see MT Rushmore with the kids - and had a wonderful time, blizzards and all!

I enjoyed the break from the computer as well. it is so important to get away from it all every so often. I seem to get the best ideas when I am away from it, like what to write articles on, what I could build Squidoo lenses on next and I am almost ready to tackle a new SBI site....

I did log onto the laptop every couple days and it was really fun to see commissions and sales even when I was not working. I tell you, the power of the internet and being able to harness that to funnel some money into our own bank accounts is exhilarating!

So, now I am trying to get back into a schedule with my kids and their homeschool, plus trying to find the time to put all the new ideas to work that I got while on vacation....

I have to admit - it IS good to be back in the swing again - but if you have not taken a break for awhile, maybe you need to step back, go take a few days off... who knows what killer ideas you may hatch while doing so.... :)
