Hey,
this is going to be a real quick guide about making fast, fast cash online. You'll need a few basic skills, but as you read down the page, you'll start to see just how simple and fast it is. So let's get started!
First, we're gonna find a hot market. How? Go to ebay's pulse. To find it, just go to google and type in 'ebay pulse'. Then look at the top results. Let's say that one of them is 'Star Wars DVD'. That means that any Star Wars products, (figures, lightsabers, guns, masks, etc.) are also probably going to be in high demand.
Hint: If the topic is from a movie that is about to be released, even better!
Now we need to go to google again and put 'star wars affiliate program'. This lets us know of different vendors willing to pay us for Star Wars shoppers. One of them will be ebay. Another will be Walmart and so on. Look at a few of them (no more than ten to keep from wasting time) and sign up for the one that looks the best.
Now we need to set up a simple blog on a web page. First things first, the domain.
Go to godaddy.com to buy your domain. (around $10 for a year for a dot com). And see if you can find a domain that 'starts' with your keyword phrase. In this case 'Star Wars DVD' would mean you'd want to find something like www.starwarsdvddeals.com or www.starwarsdvdtips.com, etc.
Now you'll want to set up a blog on your new domain on the home page. Go to www.bloggingfreak.com to see how to set it up and change the theme, but don't spend much time on this. The idea is fast, fast, fast! =]
Next, go to google and type in 'star wars dvd' (in quotes). You'll see some adwords ads on the side of the screen. Copy all of them like it's one big paragraph.
Now go to your blog and paste them on the home page.
Next put the affiliate code/link for your star wars products 'above' the google ads you just pasted. Then take a picture of your main product/keyword image and paste it at the top of the page.
Hint: It is best if you rename the picture before you do it, to the name of your keyword. In this case starwarsdvd.jpg
So the order in reading everything is your picture, product ad, then google adwords.
Next go to google and search for 'add url'. When you find the link, add your domain to it and submit it.
Now go relax and come back in a day or two and do a search on google for your keywords and you'll see your site is now (most likely) on page one of google!
As the traffic comes in, so will the sales. =]
Great job!

Hey Mike,
Very good! I really do like this one and think I’ll throw a blog up today with this!
Fast is key!
I almost didn’t open the message (too much email) but I’m really glad I did.
Thanks for sharing this.
Cheers!

And what about content?i mean articles?And i guess it should be stars Wars related with lot of keywords and is subdomain blogs like blogspot.com don’t work?
July 7, 2010 at 9:20 am
Hey Mike,
I think you made a right choice of moving your blog to new color. It looks better!
White color is the color of clarity. Good job.

I went to http://www.bloggingfreak.com to see how to set up and change the theme of the blogg but I could not find it.
is there a tutorial.
July 7, 2010 at 10:58 am
Hi Maria,
Thanks for the heads up. Under the ‘Videos’ tab there are several tutorials to walk you through the process. If you don’t see one you’d like, just let me know.

July 7, 2010 at 11:00 am
Hey Viktor,
Thanks for noticing! As a web designer I really wanted a nice, clean look for my readers.
The theme is called iblog, if you (or anyone else) is interested.
Talk to you soon.

Hi Mike!
It is hard to believe that I can get on the Google’s first page so easy but I would better to do so because you always give good advise.
A few questions:
1. Should I cloak my aff. link? What is the best and easy method do you recommend if yes?
2. Regarding Add URL – Do you mean to add UTL to Google using this link : http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl
Thanks,
Alexander
July 7, 2010 at 11:18 am
BTW, What do you think about Google Product Search.
Can we use it in conjunction with your method? Does it really help for site SEO and organic traffic?
July 7, 2010 at 11:40 am
Hi Alexander,
It is amazing to me how easy it is to rank on google for long tail keywords, (which these terms are, when theres 3 or more words) when you own a domain that starts with the term. That’s a HUGE secret for anyone paying attention, btw.
As far as your link, yes, I would definitely cloak it. You can get Affiliate Link Magic lite for under ten bucks here, but I would also suggest you grab (if you can afford it) the upsell to the pro for another $27. That way you can not only put people on your list, but you can show them an exit offer as well.
It’s a nice way to double your profit without double the traffic.
That’s the right url for adding your site to google. (http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl) Kudos for putting it here for my other readers!
Rock on brother.
~Mike Cowles. <
July 7, 2010 at 11:42 am
Hey Alexander,
You can, but I prefer ebay pulse or google trends. Both work, but the beauty of this method is speed, so just get it up and see what happens.
~Mike Cowles. <
July 7, 2010 at 11:46 am
Hi Roshy,
Articles are fine if your niche is going to last. The ranking will not stay for too long without adding content, but the niches that we’re picking are normally short lived as well. If it’s something a bit more evergreen, then by all means hire someone on craigslist.com or warriorforum.com to write a few quality articles for $5 each and schedule them to post 2-3 times a week.
Great point!

Great idea, thanks for sharing Mike
July 7, 2010 at 12:39 pm
I think it is good idea not only to change picture’s name but also add alt and title tags with your keyword phrase in it.
And one more tip – to make picture clickable with your affiliate link in it.
July 7, 2010 at 12:54 pm
What about hosting? As i understand it you have to buy a domaine name-easy, find a host-confusing – construct a web page-ok you sometimes get help from hosting site. Get an auto responder-like mail merge for internet only you can’t see any replies from your audience so you don’t know what they are/not liking or reading only how much you sell. Also when you click on one persons squeeze page its almost always someone you never heard of who comes back to you -what’s that about?-makes it hard to keep track of what you have/haven’t already seen. Also when people add’~’ to their name is that to stop mail rules?
July 7, 2010 at 3:58 pm
Hi Mike,
Excellent blog post…I knew there must be an easier way than what the guru’s want you to believe.
Is it a good idea to create separate Clickbank Acconts for each product to assist with site flipping, should one wish to do this in the future?
July 7, 2010 at 8:13 pm
Hi Mike thanks for your email and the tips much appreciated. As you know i have been at this for a little while now learning what i can I got to tell yea its not easy being an affiliate trying to find money to make a living. I’ve been out of work now for 2 years and i have been trying to get back into the field since. Since the accident my medical history has coursed me nothing but headaches I have been in refrigeration for just on 30years and i can tell you i miss the money. I have tried real estate been at it for 6months and i don’t like it with what i found that goes on behind the scenes The sales side of it is one of the main reasons i have such a hard time with building a email list because a lot of it is just BS. That’s something ill just have to get my head around. Thank-you for being patient gods knows how many emails you have sent me. Since you started this blog post its been great well for me anyway ill apply what i have learnt here today and i will see how i go Thanks Mike. Regards, Bert
July 7, 2010 at 10:15 pm
Hi Bert,
thanks for sharing your story and the kind words. Keep taking action and try to track your results so you can improve them. The fastest way to do this is to test different prices for your stuff. If your doing affiliate sales and pre-selling your audience, try changing the headlines to see which converts better.
If you’re not sure what the formula is to know your numbers, here it is.
Visitors times 100, divided by the number of sales equals the conversion percentage. For example, if you have ten visitors and five sales, you’d do this: 10 x 100=1000 divided by 5 = 50. This means your conversion is 50%. I explain this at http://www.adswap.info in my fast start guide. (free resource for list building).
Hope this helps!
~Mike.
July 7, 2010 at 11:14 pm
Hey Mike,
This is a new one on me, and it definitely looks interesting, but I don’t quite get the whole copy and paste a bunch of adwords ads concept. What exactly, is that supposed to accomplish? Is that just to ad a bit of quick content for google’s sake?
Thanks,
Art
July 8, 2010 at 12:36 am
Hi Graham,
you can simply change your clickbank link if you decide to flip the site (and I’m gonna be sharing a secret shortly about that).
For now, just follow the steps I shared and see what happens.
Talk to you soon.
~Mike.
July 8, 2010 at 12:39 am
Well said, Alexander. I would also add to cloak your link as well.
Great tip!
-Mike.
July 8, 2010 at 1:58 am
Thanks Mike
July 8, 2010 at 4:13 am
Hi Mike I have done what you have said now i am on reply from these companies see what happens from here i have had to use this site address to get started i hope the site is alright. Talk later, Bert
July 8, 2010 at 8:09 am
Hey Mike I am a little confused on this part:
“Next, go to google and type in ‘star wars dvd’ (in quotes). You’ll see some adwords ads on the side of the screen. Copy all of them like it’s one big paragraph.
Now go to your blog and paste them on the home page.”
Do we copy the text and just add it to our blog home page? Isn’t this considered duplicate content? Can you elaborate a bit more?
Paul

Excellent – no other words can express what you offer.

Awesome. Thanks Cecil.
-Mike.
July 8, 2010 at 12:25 pm
Hi Paul,
Great question. This step (copying the google adwords ads onto the home page) is for three reasons.
First, google likes it. It’s free advertising for their paying customers, which makes google look better.
Second, google rewards us faster for relevant content/links with higher ranking.
Third, it tells us that there are people paying for these visitors for flipping the blogs in the future if we want. (hint, hint).
Take action and let me know how it goes for you!
~Mike Cowles. <
July 8, 2010 at 12:27 pm
Rock on, Bert!
I “love” hearing my readers take action! Good or bad results, you’re moving forward, which means now you can test and tweak to make more money.
Great job again.

Hi Granny,
For hosting, I would suggest hostgator to get started. You can see them here (my affiliate link). The advantages of using their hosting is:
- The price it super cheap.
- You can get a free domain for a year
- The support is great (24/7 phone, chat or email)
For the autoresponder, I’m glad to hear you’re wanting to build your list, however, this is done in a random niche (based on what’s in demand ‘now’ vs a niche you know you want to stay in) so don’t worry about that at first. For now, just get the site up and see if it ranks and converts. If it does, you may want to pursue the niche long term and ad a free offer to entice visitors to join your list.
When you do start building your list, I recommend aweber, since they have the best service, (easy to use with great deliverability rates) but you don’t want to pay full price. Instead, contact them and tell them that “at http://www.profollow.com they offer aweber’s service for only $20 a month…. can you match it?” and they will.
This will save you over $100 a month once your list is at 10,000 subscribers.
As far as your comment about “when you click on one persons squeeze page its almost always someone you never heard of who comes back to you”, that happens when marketers don’t have a product of their own (or know how to create one) and simply market someone else’s as an affiliate. This can be confusing and doesn’t build up their name or credibility, so I don’t recommend it.
Instead, take 2-3 really good ebooks about your topic and rewrite them in your own words, leaving out the content that isn’t great and you’ll be left with a super quality ebook that you can call your own.
For the ~ question, I just do that to be different, not to stop mail rules.
Talk to you soon,
~Mike Cowles. <
July 8, 2010 at 2:11 pm
Hi Mike,
thanks for responding. just one more point of clarification about the copy and paste. Once you copy the ads to your web page “ads by google” appears above the list of ads, would you recommend leaving that or removing it?
thanks again.

Thanks, Trish. Glad you enjoyed it.
~Mike Cowles. <><
July 9, 2010 at 6:47 pm
Hi Art,
Good question. I would remove it. There’s 2 reasons for that.
1. It looks more like relevant content vs copy and paste.
2. Competitors won’t know how you did what you did as easily.
Thanks, Art.
~Mike Cowles. <><

Hi, Mike just dropped in to say hello.
Just after i had joined your forum site
I thought about the idea of a forum site but one i could add to my-sites for who ever visited my-site its not a bad set-up either well i like it i hope others will to.
I have placed the forum section at the bottom of my sites see how that goes its new but it is a forum anyone can add to there site to stay in touch.
Talk soon Mike.

Hi Mike!
Q1.
When I copy and Paste the Google ads, do I delete the URL’s?
Make them “live”, or just leave them as non-clickable?
Q2.
As of this today, all the eBay Pulse are 1 word terms (not long tail).
How would I go about using them?
I am looking at:
#1. iPOD
#10. Coach HandBags
I was thinking of using:
A.
“Apple iPod Touch 64 GB 4th Generation” as my KW
I can’t remove “apple iPod” as it is a copyrighted trademark name
since, this will only be “HOT” for a few months, so if they
want me to surrender the DN it won’t really matter.
B.
“coach handbags outlets”
Same deal here – copyright thing,
but a short-lived, “hot” item.
Q3.
I went to Amazon and made a Carousel Widget for both the above –
Do you think that is ok? – or Should I just use an Affiliate Link?
I also have large Pictures of each with kw labels on each pic.
Thanks,
Jim >
PS: Sorry for the loooong questions!
February 15, 2011 at 9:27 pm
1. Leave em as is.
2. Be creative and see what the searches are for them monthly. In other words, if it’s iphone, look for iphone accessory discount offers, etc.
2A. You got it.
2B. Exactly.
3. I would suggest an affiliate link using http://www.affiliatelinkmagic.com so you can build your list while promoting offers.
Glad to see you’re taking action, Jim.
Talk to you soon.
Mike. <
July 18, 2011 at 6:54 pm
Mike, would this work if you have an adsense account and you would get the adsense income? or is there a reason for using other people’s adwords with the copy and paste?
Thanks, I’m so happy I found you! I’ve learned a ton at a fraction of what it would have cost elsewhere.

October 24, 2011 at 9:34 pm
Mike this is awesome my friend!!!! Quick question though can I just use any clickbank product or something like that to get first page google? Or would it be better if I stick to your step-by-step? If it’s possible to use any product as long as it’s a good product that would sell that would be awesome!
October 25, 2011 at 10:58 pm
Hey Kemain,
Thanks for the kudos. Always stick to the plan.
Talk soon.
Mike.
October 26, 2011 at 5:13 pm
Mike,
Awesome advice, will this work on a subdomain?
Let me know Thanks
October 28, 2011 at 12:06 pm
Hey Steve,
I haven’t tried it on a sub, but it should if everything else is relevant.
If you try it out, lemme know your results!
Mike.
November 27, 2011 at 5:11 am

Hi Mike,
Great info and thank you for sharing. I went to your http://www.onehourgoogle.com site and read through it and have some questions…
The 3 sites you mention there as proof that the system works are between approximately 3 and 10 years old. considering it is promoting to get a newly bought domain to first page I was quite surprised to see how old these domains were/are. Am I missing something here, have you bought aged domains as a part of the strategy or are these sites some of your sites you’ve been doing SEO on for years?
Also the cover (image) of the CD has a star/stamp saying 2010 version, has it been updated since the last major google update?
Look forward to your reply
Thanks and regards,
Pete
December 13, 2011 at 9:16 am
Your system sounds great. I was wondering if anyone has actually has success with this idea? I’d love to see some postings from people who have tried it.
December 17, 2011 at 6:31 am
Hi Pete,
The sites were new when I first ranked them. The fact that they’re still up in rankings shows that the method works.
Talk to you soon.
Mike.
