As many of you might know I do a lot of things online to make money and because of those things I am able to live a rather comfortable life. This past weekend I wanted to prove a friend of mine wrong and in doing so I made the easiest $94.09 of my life. In my last post I talked about how you can make an extra $100 per week using Hubpages, but I bet you would rather earn $94 in just 4 days.
What did I do?
I outsourced a 10 page e-book project to a guy in India for $15I then hired a proof-reader for $5 since the e-book had a lot of errors in itThe proof-reader then corrected the e-book so that it was actually readableI then hired an English writer to write 10 articles about soccer equipment for $30I hired out all the initial work for a small amount on a product about buying soccer equipment. Now I know soccer is a decent sized niche so I went after it and here is how it went:
I wrote a 600 word post and posted it on blogger.com with 2 links to buy the e-book through Paypal. After that post was live I bookmarked through dig.com and then posted the 10 articles on Hubpages. Now because I didn’t want to use my Hubscore or any of my followers in this method I decided to use a new account because I wanted to make sure it was possible to do it without anything already built and established. The thing that shocked me about this niche was that with only 10 articles live for just 4 days they received over 58 comments combined between them.
This isn’t something that I have been working on for a while, I just started thinking about this when my friend told me that there is no way I could create a pure passive income without doing any work or using my influence online and I think I proved him wrong (I don’t know, he won’t answer me calls). I am not saying that every time somebody does this they will come out like I did, but you never know until you try.
Out of everything I used there is really only one thing I am going to explain because everything else I have talked about over and over again because I used everything daily except Rapidshare.com. The reason I used Rapidshare.com is because I couldn’t just upload the e-book to my website for download since many people won’t have a website if they are first starting out. The nice part about using rapidshare.com is that you just load the e-book onto their website and then you save the url that they give you and now you have everything set up where you never have to transfer a file.
Things I used:
Craigslist.org (outsourcing)Blogger.comPaypal.comDigg.comHubpages.comRapidshare.com (to deliver content automatically)Yes, there will be a next time. I don’t plan to put out millions of products but I do plan to put out at least 1 new one each month, but because I want to increase the profitability I will still hire a writer for everything except this time I will make 1 Blogger page and 1 WordPress page to test and see which works better (Stay tuned for that one).
What I plan to do this month is to create a e-book about weight loss and package it in PDF form so that I can add images and put a flashy cover page so hopefully people can download and give this away as a New Years gift (weight loss is always the #1 resolution). I think this will work great, but I just have to see what route I want to take and then I will go from there. I will keep you posted on how that is going, so don’t worry.
