Original Post…

Today is Thanksgiving here in the United States, and I got to spend time with my family. No matter where you live, take a moment to be thankful for what you have and the people in your lives.

I also want to take this time to thank all of my readers. Thank you! Without you this blog would not be a success. I truly mean that.

Another day we celebrate here in the U.S. is Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. This is where stores hold unbelievable sales on many popular items. These sales usually last just one day, while others may last through the weekend.

Well, I have an incredible Black Friday deal for you…

Again, you do not want to miss this! This will only last for one day, and one day only. Tomorrow!

My Bonus

Now, you’re probably wondering where my bonus fits in as this deal is already incredibly low. Quite possibly the lowest anywhere right now.

Well, I’m offering $10 to everyone that signs up for a hosting account through HostGator. And, to make the deal even sweeter, I’m extending this offer for a lifetime.

Huh?

Yep, that’s right. Whether you’re reading this on Black Friday or a year from now, no matter when it is, I’ll pay you $10 when you sign up through my HostGator affiliate link.

I’m that confident in the web hosting services they provide, that I’m putting my money where my mouth is and giving back.

This is my way of saying “thanks” to you, my reader.

Have a blessed day everyone, and don’t miss out on this incredible offer.

April turned out to be a pretty good month. I received an increase in proofreading and re-writing work, which I was very happy about. Those are two things I thoroughly enjoy doing, apart from running this website and earning passive income from multiple sources.

Let’s get right into it…

Income from ReplaceYourSalary.com

• ClickBank: $107.77
• PayDotCom – $56.34
• HostGator – $50
• Angela’s Backlinks: $11.25
• Paul’s Backlinks: $8
• Yarie: $23.39
• Google Adsense: $21.11
• SFI: $16.23
• Project Payday: $3 (commissions earned from promoting the program, not actually using it)
• AdFish – $4.20

Total = $301.29

Income from Internet Marketing Services

It’s been a pleasure to be able to work for a highly successful internet marketer. I’m able to learn from and apply the same strategies to my online business, all of which I’ve blogged about here at one time or another.

Total = $160

Income from Proofreading/Re-writing/Editing Services

As I said previously, I’ve gotten a decent amount of freelancing work last month. It’s great to be able to provide a high quality and much needed service, and it’s been an honor serving my clients. You can learn more by visiting the link below.

• Proofreading – $76
• Re-writing – $20

Total = $96

Income from Re-writing Service via David Hurley’s PLR Article Service Membership

It has been an honor to be able to partner with David, a good online friend of mine, and provide the re-writing portion of his article membership. To learn more about his PLR article service, visit the link above.

Total = $57.50

Total online income from all sources…

$614.79

April turned out to be my best month yet since I began my online business venture.  If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s to never give up. Giving up is very easy to do, but sticking with it when things seem impossible is where the real character lies.

I had made this offer available to my newsletter subscribers only, but seeing as how I apparently don’t have any serious subscribers, I have decided to open this up to anyone.

I honestly can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t jump on an offer like I’m about to propose. There’s no risk involved, and so much to gain.

Here’s the deal…

I’m looking for a few people who seriously want to start making money online. I’m talking about people who don’t have a clue about this business and want to get started on the right foot. If you’re completely new to internet/affiliate marketing, and you’re ready to take action and positive steps towards your financial future, then this offer is for you.

I’ll give you $10 if you take me up on this. There’s no time limit.

This offer was originally limited to the first 5 people, but I’ve decided to offer this to everyone who takes advantage of this. So every single person who signs up for a HostGator account through my link will receive $10 from me.

Here’s what you need to do…

1. Sign up for a web hosting account with HostGator. Those are my affiliate links. During the sign-up process, enter coupon code “wordpress” (without quotes) to get started for just 1 cent ($0.01). It’s very important that you do this, otherwise you’ll be paying more than you have to.

2. Register a domain name with NameCheap. Again, my affiliate link. The cost is less than $10.

Keep in mind that your domain name should describe what your website will be about. This website will be the starting block for your “business,” so take some time in choosing a good domain name. Don’t make this complicated, though.

3. Email me your receipt of purchase from HostGator and NameCheap. Once I confirm that you have purchased both through my affiliate links, I will send you $10 through PayPal. Send me your PayPal email address at this time as well.

I’m basically refunding the $9.95 you spent for your domain name and the $0.01 for hosting, so there is absolutely zero cost to you.

NOTE:

I highly recommend clearing your internet cache and cookies before clicking on my links above. This will ensure I get credit when you purchase through them.

Once everything is underway, I will setup your blog for you and teach you how to start marketing and making money with your new blog. This is where the real value of my offer is. This is crucial to your success, and I’m going to help you get there.

IMPORTANT:

I’m looking for people who are serious about this and want to start taking the steps to change their life. The most important step is the first one… and that is simply to TAKE ACTION.

Remember, because I’m paying you $10 into your PayPal account, you have absolutely nothing to lose. You can get started for free right now.

If you have any questions or comments please leave your thoughts in the comments section below or email me directly.

I look forward to working with you and helping you reach your dreams for 2010!

By now you should know that affiliate marketing is the easiest way to start making money online. If you didn’t know that… you do now.

Why is it so easy?

You don’t need your own product or service. Simply promote someone else’s product or service and earn a commission when you  make a sale. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people are earning automated income using affiliate marketing, including myself.

The best way to earn money online is to automate the process. How do you do that? Simple. You start up a website which takes some initial work. Then you build traffic to your site by marketing and promoting it, which also takes some work. If you’ve done your marketing correctly, your website will see a continuous flow of traffic.

If you’ve targeted this traffic correctly, then this traffic should be interested in the products you’re promoting on your site. Of course, your site needs to have a lot of great content as well.

Notice how everything is dependent on doing things correctly. You can waste a lot of time and effort by doing things the wrong way. I’m here to help if you have any questions about anything, so don’t be afraid to ask.

With affiliate marketing, you can set up a site or blog geared towards a specific niche, choose a few products related to that niche, and be ready to sell within hours. There’s no other business model that allows you to be “in business” that quickly.

The cost to get started is very minimal as well. Contrary to a traditional offline business where you have to buy a building and the land it’s on, an online business only requires a domain name and web hosting.

This makes affiliate marketing ideal for many people who don’t have much money to spare. For as little as 7.95 per month and $9.99 a year, which is what I pay for my web hosting and domain, you can have your own online business. The return can be so much more.

That’s really a small price to pay when you consider that with just one affiliate sale, you can double your money back.

If you think this whole affiliate marketing thing is too complicated, trust me, it isn’t. And, as I already mentioned, you can contact me anytime if you want my help.

There’s no reason why you can’t start making money with affiliate marketing today. The only one holding you back is yourself. If you have a burning desire, then go for it!

If you’re ready to get started, may I suggest the domain and web hosting that I use:

• NameCheap
• HostGator

Register your domain name with NameCheap and then set up your web hosting with HostGator. Again, I can help you with this.

Also, those are my affiliate links, and I will be compensated if you take my advice. But hey, I wouldn’t recommend them if I didn’t believe in them. Afterall, I use them to host this blog and manage this domain name.

Take that first step today to change your tomorrow…

This is my first ever income report, which I plan to continue for the months ahead.

I just want to show you guys what all I’m doing to make money and where my money is coming from.

I believe in having multiple streams of income, so I have quite a few sources that my money comes from each month.

These income reports will only consist of money I earn through my ReplaceYourSalary website, which includes this blog.

September Income Report: 2009

• PayDotCom – $28.17
• Host4Profit – $10.00
• HostGator – $50.00 – Thanks to JP at blogmatters.net.
• Google Adsense – $16.81
• Yarie.com – $31.62
• SFI – $28.81
• Clickbank – $6.15
• Responsive Data – $60.75 – Earned over a period of months
• Free Traffic System – $10.00

Total income is $242.31.

So there you have it. That’s how much I earned for last month. Let’s see how I do this month. So far, things are looking pretty good.

This income report doesn’t include earnings made from my re-writing, proofreading and occasional article writing freelance work.

How much money did you make from your website or blog? Share your results below…

NameCheap.com has become quite popular among internet marketers and online business owners. Their name alone is a good indication of why this is.

NameCheap offers cheap domain name registration. Nowadays it’s not uncommon to have more than one domain or website for your business or just personal interests. Having a place to manage and keep track of all of those domains in one place is absolutely critical.

With close to 50,000 new domains registered every single day (http://www.domaintools.com/internet-statistics/), there’s a lot of money to be made. Joining an affiliate program for a well established domain registration company is a good idea.

I personally can’t think of a better company than NameCheap.com. Ever since I had my domains transferred to them I’ve been more than pleased. Read my post on HostGator web hosting to read about why I use NameCheap and why you should too.

NameCheap has just started an affiliate program that allows you to earn 15% on new purchases that you refer. I’m very excited that they’re offering such a program, and I imagine this will boost their presence on the web even more.

Here’s what NameCheap can do for you:

• Free URL Forwarding – Direct & Cloaked With No Ads
• Free Email Forwarding (No Ads) – you@yourdomain.com -> ISP
• Free Parking Page Included – Your Domain will not go unresolved
• Free Transfer of Ownership
• Free Dynamic DNS With Client
• Free Security Features – Registrar Lock etc…
• Full Control of Your Domain
• Advanced Control Panel – One of the best in the industry
• Custom DNS Settings – CNAME, A, MX, MXE Supported
• Custom Nameserver Registration
• Friendly Customer Support
• Optional Whois Protection – Using WhoisGuard Product
• Geotrust RapidSSL certificates for as low as $9.95 per year

If you’re not yet using NameCheap to take control of your domains, I highly recommend you do. Just go to NameCheap.com and get signed up. If you currently own a domain, or multiple domains, you can easily transfer them. They even offer coupon codes, so you can transfer or buy at a cheaper price.

I would also advise signing up for their affiliate program to start earning your share of new domain registrations that take place every day. It’s free to sign up and only takes a minute.

I would recommend that if you don’t use NameCheap to mange your domains, that you first transfer your domains over to them before signing up for their affiliate program. This way you can give a personal touch with your marketing efforts and have a better understanding of what they do and how they can help others.

People are more willing to sign up for something when they see a review from someone else who uses them. This applies to any affiliate program or product that you promote. It helps establish credibility and allows you to brand yourself in the process. That’s my marketing tip for the day.

Let me know your thoughts on NameCheap’s new affiliate program by leaving a comment below…

The title says it all. Those are the reasons that this site is now hosted by HostGator web hosting. If you tried visiting my site yesterday, you may have been presented with a blank page or a database error message. For that, I apologize.

My site had been hosted with Host4Profit as part of the PIPS program. I still like Host4Profit as their support is one of the best around, probably second to HostGator’s. But, I wanted to consolidate my sites and save a bit of money every month. You can’t blame me, can you?

The steps involved in transferring a complete website is a bit complicated, and having never done it before, I was a bit overwhelemed. Thankfully I had tons of support from fellow peers as well as both hosting company’s support departments. Without them, I would have never gotten it done.

With that said, I highly recommend HostGator for all of your cheap web host needs. They provide cpanel web hosting, which is a huge lifesaver, especially the one click WordPress setup. You can host unlimited domains without the price ever going up, which is real handy if you have quite a few sites or plan to build more than one. And, as I said before, their support is top notch. They’re very hard to beat in price, and the site up-time is also the best around.

After the switch, I was recommended to transfer my domain to NameCheap.com. What a lifesaver that was for me. I was looking at paying $25 or more for my domain renewal every year. With NameCheap, it’s less than $10 a year for domains. My transfer was even less. I highly recommend them!

Another awesome benefit about NameCheap, which I didn’t know about until I transferred my domain, is that they offer free WhoisGuard protection. This means the Whois information for your domain is guarded. Very cool and makes them even more worth it!

So, if you’re looking for reliable yet cheap web hosting, make the switch to HostGator. You can’t go wrong. And, I’ll even throw in a little bonus if you sign up through me. Sign up for a hosting account through my links, and I’ll setup a WordPress blog for you free. That’s my way of saying thanks. Then you can take what you’re learning here and apply it to your new site.

Are you using HostGator? What’s your feelings about NameCheap.com? Have you gone through the hassle of switching hosts?

I’d love to hear your thoughts…

I’m all for getting more traffic to my blog. Traffic is a good thing, especially when you’re trying to sell products online as an affiliate. You won’t make sales if you don’t bring in any traffic.

I’ve been a subscriber of Jeff Johnson’s for quite some time now, and he provides some top notch tactics on getting more traffic and sales. And believe me, I don’t use the phrase “top notch” lightly at all.

Jeff knows his stuff and tests everything he does. It also helps to have a team working for you, which of course, Jeff does. He had his team put together new software that could get more traffic to his blogs by optimizing them for search engines and utilizing various plugins.

Jeff provides a lot of awesome content on his Underground Training Lab blog, and for free. He’s really a down to earth guy that enjoys sharing what he’s learned with others. I’ve learned a lot just from his videos. If you’ve never seen any of Jeff’s videos before, you can check them out on YouTube.

Jeff decided to give away his SEO blog software for free. I’ve already downloaded my copy and plan to install it here on this blog shortly. I wanted to make all of my readers aware of this software and how it can really benefit your blog by bringing in more traffic, and hopefully more sales.

You can grab your copy of Jeff’s Free Traffic-Getting SEO blog software here. All you have to do is simply enter your email address… no name required. You’ll also get full instructions on installing the simple plugin and setting everything up.

If you don’t yet have a WordPress blog setup and want to take advantage of this software, simply sign up for a hosting account through HostGator, and I’ll help you set up your new blog and software. HostGator is my recommended web hosting company as they provide the best support, and their prices are very hard to beat.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on how this software is bringing in more traffic for you. Did you find it easy to install and setup? How much more traffic are you getting from it?

Once I get it up and running on here, I’ll be back with an update.
