On top of that there are the people capable of putting in the work who get discouraged before they see the fruits of their labor. Its something I see at the Keyword Academy occasionally, some of the members are more than capable of doing the work and understand the concepts being taught but they start to get disheartened when the money doesn’t start to come in quick enough. Thankfully there is enough support in the Keyword Academy that when their is a hint of this happening the troops rally and give pep talks to get people back on track.

What does this mean you? If you are struggling to make money Online then its down to either:

1. Your not working hard enough
2. You don’t know what you are doing
3. You haven’t been doing it long enough to see the results and are starting to wonder if its all going to work out.

No matter which one of these problems is yours joining the Keyword Academy is the best thing you can do to reach your personal make money online goals.

If you think that none of the points above points apply to you and you are trying unsuccessfully to make money with adsense or through affiliate marketing then you need to wake up and smell the coffee.

Truth is that you have probably been sold far too many e-books by the Internet Marketing gurus or you have bought into programs such as Google Terminator and found that they don’t do what they say on the tin. You aren’t going to learn anything from the gurus $47 books because they don’t what they are doing either. They make money buy selling books about who to make money online.

Finding an Internet Marketer that deals with people in an ethical, honest manner is almost impossible and that’s why members of the Keyword Academy are so grateful to have found Court and Mark before they waste any more time.
Yes I sell the Keyword Academy hard, but I truly believe its by far the best way for anyone to learn to earn money online. In fact I’m so confident you will think its the best Internet Marketing decision you ever make that if you sign up through my banner above and don’t think its worth the money I’ll refund double your first months payment (yes, that will only be $2 but I’m a cheap bastard!).

After that rant I’ll give you an update for my Online earnings which I have been keeping to myself over the last few months due to being too busy to update this blog.

So here is a rough estimate of my affiliate and Adsense earnings for the last 3 months:

• August – $1100
• September – $1900
• October – $4000

When I started this blog way back in April my aim was to be making $50 a day by the 1st of July, something that I realize very quickly wasn’t realistic. Remember this was before I had even joined the Keyword Academy so I really didn’t have a clue what I was doing.

The thing is that by the time the 1st of July rolled round and I had just made $400 for June in Adsense I would never have believed it possible to be making over $4000 in October. So how did it happen? Well if you read the beginning of the post you will know it had something to do with:

1. Discovering what had to be done in terms of SEO to get search engine traffic and convert that into cash.
2. Working my ass off.
3. Doing 1 and 2 for long enough to see results.

Simples. But I have had another trick up my sleeve and that was that I got lucky. There are people at the Keyword academy that know the course material better than me and take just as much massive action as me, but the are still only making $100 in monthly earnings. I have no doubt that these members will eventually be making a fortune its just going to take them longer to see that big leap in income.

Apart from the luck factor there have been another couple of things that I can say have contributed to my recent success.

Well, like I have said I have worked damn hard the last few months, my social life is now almost non-existent and my laptop is my best friend but it feels like it has been worthwhile. I still feel like I have a load more to learn but I am getting there and every site I build feels easier than the last.

Another important factor has been moving away from Adsense to affiliate programs with high converting websites and high percentage payout. Obviously you can’t do this with all your sites but if you have some with traffic and there are suitable affiliate products out there I recommend playing around with this and seeing what you can achieve.

Right this post has been long enough and was only supposed to be a keyword rich earnings update, must get back to work.

So I made the post and got a couple of links anchored as “monetize blog” from a couple of other sites to let Google know that the post existed and to re-enforce the topic it covered. I had planned on getting more quality backlinks to really give it a boost but I have been busy so that’s all it got.

At this point when I search for Monetize Blog from the UK I’m 7th in Google but only 33rd from the USA. Not a bad result I suppose and I’m going to put in a little more effort to see if I can get closer to the top, but why would I go to all this trouble to get ranked in Google for a keyword that isn’t much cash?

Considering the “Make Money With Adsense” and “Make Money Online” niches are such hard nuts to crack I don’t think I can hope to get anywhere near an interesting position in Google without doing things in a roundabout way. I figure that if I can start to rank for easy keywords first then Google will maybe sit up and take notice and maybe at some point in the future I might be able to start making tracks in the Make Money Online results pages.

Although I never started this make money blog with the intent of crushing the MMO SERPs it will make an interesting experiment for me at least, if not for anyone else.

I’ve done some searches in Scroogle.org just to see where I’m sitting at the moment for certain terms so that in the future we can check up to so how things have progressed.

1. How To Make Money With Adsense — 9th in SERPS
2. Make Money With Adsense — 12th in SERPS
3. Earn Money With Adsense — 8th in SERPS
4. Make Money Online — 211th in SERPS — I’ve got a little bit of work to do here!
5. Monetize Blog — 9th — Woot!! I’m going to try and take Steve Pavlina’s No.2 spot for this keyword just for fun.

As an aside, I have to say that I’m pleased with the increase in search engine traffic that I have seen over the past few weeks on Adsense | Make Money Online. A lot of it has to do with fact I have installed the KeywordLuv and dofollow plugins on the blog meaning anyone who leaves a comment on a post gets a valuable link back to their own site. Other traffic that finds its way here is searchers from Google who are using long tail keywords relating to a few general topics, namely:

1. Make money with Adsense / Google
2. dofollow links
3. The Keyword Academy

You probably noticed that in the first sentence of this post I linked the Keyword “Monetize Blog” back to my old post with the same name. Hopefully by doing so I’ve given Google more information to chew on which will result in that post ranking higher. If I can combine that with getting a few more quality backlinks we should see it climb up Google a few more spots.

Oh yeah, before I forget, although the course costs $33 a month Court and Mark who run it understand that this is a fair wad of cash for many of us to spend every month so they have been kind enough to offer everyone the first month for $1. Yip that’s right, for a measly single dollar you can get a full months access to probably the finest no bullshit method there is to make money online. If you aren’t willing to get your credit card out for a dollar subscription for this then you have no business trying to make a living from Internet Marketing. Pack up your bags and go home ‘cos you’re not going to make it. I know the majority of you have already blown at least hundreds of dollars on worthless crap IM books in the past but I promise you this is the last time you’ll have to pay for marketing tuition.

What Do I Get For A Dollar from The Keyword Academy?

What, you still haven’t signed up because you want to make sure you’re going to get value for money for your dollar? Well, I’ll tell you, you get a lot of shit for your dollar. What you’re probably wondering is why Court and Mark would give you membership to the best Internet marketing information on the planet for a dollar when you can easily cancel at the end of the month, there must be a catch. What’s stopping you from signing up for a month before laughing all the way to the bank with your newly acquired online money making skillz.

The truth is there’s nothing at all stopping you and its very easy to cancel your membership if you so wish, but with the community spirit on the forums and the outstanding webinar every month you’ll find it hard to click the cancel button unless you’re really short of cash. Many people will no doubt join the Keyword Academy enticed by the videos which promise to teach you about Keyword research, content creation, linkbuilding and getting your make money with adsense empire up and running.

It’s true that the videos are great and will probably teach you things you never thought of before but their not the reason that people hang around after the first month. To be honest, I’d always planned on continuing my subscription for a couple of months at least anyway but I can see myself being around for a good while the way things have turned out with the value on offer.

If this isn’t enough to convince you to get involved then to top things off there is a top secret back link building tool available to all Keyword Academy members which is truly awesome and worth more than the price of the subscription itself. Can’t really say too much about it other than it rocks and it will be a great help to you in building backlinks and getting your sites further up the SERPS.

So there you go, you can now stop reading all the worthless earn money online forums and blogs you are a member of because all the answers you are looking for are available at the keyword academy. As you can see from my blog the only things I promote are things I use myself and this program is one that I truly believe in so spend a dollar and see for yourself just how much value you can get for next to nothing.

The how to make money online “experts” who promise to give you the secrets to online business success are selling a dream that doesn’t exist. Getting your head down and making the success for yourself by working without reward for a few months is the way to long term Internet riches.

I Made A Mistake And I’m Sorry

Back when I started this blog I made a mistake for some reason that I can’t quite comprehend but which I must none the less take responsibility for. Justin over at SEO Zombie designs wordpress themes which he happens to be damn good at and when I was looking for a theme for this site a few months ago I happened to stumble over his blog and picked up a theme.

As I was putting together this site I took out the link back to Justin’s site which is in the footer of the page, not only that but to make matters worse I put a link in my second post saying that I had used his theme and make the link nofollow. For those of you who don’t know what a nofollow link is its simply a way of tagging a link to tell google not to follow the link to the page it points to. I basically did it to conserve the Google link juice of my site without realizing what I was doing. Justin put time and effort into building the theme that I used and the least he deserved for his time and expertise was for me to give him a link back to his site as a thank you.

Anyway, a couple of hours after I put my post up I got an email from Justin telling me what me what we thought about my actions and he was quite rightly a little pissed. As soon as I received the email I realized my mistake and corrected things by reinstating the link in the footer and making the link in my post to a “dofollow” link. I also sent him an email saying sorry and telling him I had rectified my mistake.

So why in God’s name am I writing about this today, 3 months later?

I was reading a thread in the Keyword Academy forum where some people were talking about removing links to the builders of wordpress theme. Lissie of Passive Income Online fame left a link to a post that Justin had made in which he talked about the incident where I had removed the link from this site. He called me a cockhead with no morals who deserved to have nuts crushed in a vice. lol, OK, he didn’t say that but he certainly wasn’t happy and had a rant about me being a jerk.

Read his Value Of Free post here and see for yourself. I found it quite funny reading about something I had done on someone else’s blog, felt like I was having my five minutes of fame. I totally understood Justin being angry although it would have been nice if he told his readers that I had apologized and instantly corrected my mistake.

In the world I live in people make mistakes all the time and the only thing I expect from someone who makes a blunder is that they correct it and try their best not to make the same mistake again. If they say sorry for their actions, so much the better.

But at the end of the day Justin has a right to feel however he wants towards me, what bugged me was that everyone that reads his bog ends up getting tremendously angry about something that had been a newbie mistake which I had done everything in my power to sort out when it was pointed out to me. If they had known that I had reinstated the links the instant I received the email from Justin and sent an apology would they still have wanted to slap me across the face with a dirty sock? Probably not!

It seems unfortunate that people out there in Internet land are going to get angry about something I’ve mistakingly done without hearing both sides of the story which may cause them to be suspicious of everyone they come into contact with online. I mean if everyone in the SEO and MMO world gets angry about all the thieving gypsies who are only out to help themselves then the Online world is going to become a less pleasant place to be. After all the best thing about trying to make money online is the fact that so many of us help each other out to get to where we want to be together.

Anyways that’s me had my own rant on the episode so we’ll leave it at that. I just had to get it off my chest and it gave me some content to fill up this post.
