Money for nothing, and your checks for free…

LOL! As my friend Adrian would have said: “You broke the seal!” Of course at the time, that meant that you were going to pee like a race horse for the next several hours. In this case however, it means that I can’t stop writing and need to post yet again.
the thing is, that I can’t decide on how to proceed. I have some GREAT ideas on how to make some money online, yet when it comes to implementing them, I stagger and take my time. “Taking my time” meaning I have not yet done Jack Shit to make these plans produce any fruit.
Here’s a bit of insight into a tactic of making money online that I garnered from my boss some time ago: Profiting through the course of disinformation.
Now you may have already thought of misinformation… nay, I am talking about dis-information… the lack of information online, and profiting from said non-information-ness.
Here’s how it works! You make a web site/web page with a great deal of content that is relevant to the specific keyword(s) that you wish to grab traffic from. People search for this keyword and find themselves directed to your page from search engines that have spider-ed your web site and deem you worthy. If you have done your job correctly, you are in the top 20 search results. (This is an involved process…) Now you have traffic coming to your pages and site, now what!?
Now you don’t do anything! You already built your web site with relevant content, and using Google Adsense or other Affiliate Marketing programs. You are posting category specific ads to this keyword, so when the user visits your page, they find crappy info, but a lot of links to information relevant to what they are shopping for. They click on one of the Adsense or affiliate marketing links, and presto – you make money!
Is it really that simple? Yes it CAN be. Its not something I pride myself in being a part of, but it pays some people’s bills. Not mine. But those that I work for. I got different plans for making money online. It’s legitimate and it’s a value-added service that users online will access daily. More about this to come soon. Not trying to be a tease, just trying to dissuade those who would ruin the internet, to spend their time elsewhere.
Obla di, Obla da… Life Goes On, yeah? Yay! Beer’s kicking in good now!
