I get this question all the time — “how can I make a few extra dollars on line?” The other day, I saw a post on a non-internet-marketing forum that I frequent. It was the same question again, only this time the scope was not limited to internet marketing — but it immediately made me think of a product called OneWeekMarketing. Here is the forum post:
Here is the background, and hope you can give some advise.
Married, 3 kids and I work full-time. The wife works part-time at the school, so she is off in the summers with no pay. Would like to earn an additional 400-600 a month to eliminate some bills and get out of debt.
Live in xxxxx xxxxxxx. My current job is technically 8-5 but about 3 times a year I have to travel for about 2-3 weeks at a time.
Thanks.
Now there were lots of replies. Pizza delivery, house painting, lawn service, plasma donation. That last one really got me, because I actually did that in graduate school. But that is another blog post…
Internet Marketing Is The Answer
Of course, my answer to this is internet marketing. Reading between the lines in the forum post and subsequent follow-up, it was pretty clear to me that the poster was looking for something that his wife could do (or that they could do together). I am guessing that they do not have a lot of computer expertise (but they at least know how to post on a forum, obviously). So, they need something simple with good support.
On the flip side, they are only looking to make a little money ($500 per month is not a huge amount for this sort of thing). $17 per day would meet their needs.
Sounds like some form of Bum Marketing might do the trick.
So What Do I Recommend?
The other day I ran across a great Squidoo-based Bum Marketing product called OneWeekMarketing. There are four things about OneWeekMarketing that make it ideal for this situation:
- Nothing else to buy. It is a simple bum marketing plan without upsells and other junk. The author does offer a membership forum for people that need extra help, but it is cheap and it is not required.
- Great step-by-step guides. The whole thing is built around a one-week action plan. You just follow the guide each week, and then repeat the next week (you promote a new product every week).
- The approach is simple and proven. We know affiliate marketing works. There is no magic approach in this course. It’s just simple proven techniques.
- Great case study. The author actually helped a person make money with this system, and recorded all of their communications. Those are provided in the course materials for your reference. Chances are you will have the same questions as others, so this is a really valuable resource.
I corresponded with the author by email in some detail, and read every word of the package. The author is a real person and was a pleasure to deal with. While I have not followed her exact program myself, I did review it completely. It is solid, and I think it is a perfect place for a brand new internet marketer to start (or even better, a frustrated internet marketer that wants a simple proven path to success.)
I love the author’s motto: “If you’re willing to do for a year what others won’t, you can do for a lifetime what others CAN’T!”
Best of all, there is a great 8 week money back guarantee. If this approach is not working for you in 8 weeks, you get your money back. You have time to go through the entire system 8 times.
Here is the magic. In seven weeks, you could easily promote seven products by following the system described. If you had the simple goal of one sale per week with a $20 commission for each product, you could hit the goal described in the post above by Easter. Of course, there are no guarantees, and your mileage may vary.
Best thing for them, since there is nothing else to buy, and the guarantee is 8 weeks (60 days) long, there is really no risk.
Check it out. If you are wanting to get started in affiliate marketing on the interent, OneWeekMarketing is an excellent place to start!
Noob Disclaimer: One last thing. This post may attract the attention of people that are brand new to internet marketing. So, I want to make it extra clear that the links above to OneWeekMarketing are affiliate links.
If you are just getting started trying to make money online, you might not realize that if you buy the product mentioned above through my link, I get paid by the author as an affiliate. Basically, the author is paying me for successfully promoting the product when you buy.
So, while I feel that my recommendation is unbiased, the fact is that there is money involved. As it happens, I have a personal policy that I only recommend stuff that I use myself or that I have actually checked out. (You will find this is not the case for many other marketers).
In this case specifically, I have read the program from cover to cover and think it is an excellent product. I stand behind my recommendation, and welcome your comments.
