People often ask me what my biggest money makers online are (at the time of writing - it’s topbux a PTC (paid to click) site). The key to making a large amount of money online isn’t having one dominant program though - it’s all about diversifying.

I was talking to a buddy of mine last week and he was devastated because a program he was making upwards of $500 a month in went tits up and his biggest income stream was gone. I asked him what his next biggest stream was - $50 a month he replied.

It’s craziness to put all of your eggs in one basket like that - not only is it crazy but it’s also extremely inefficient. A lot of the people in his downline were friends he had referred from real life or that he knew well online. Finding people you know who are interested and willing in making money online is a gold mine - once you get them onto a good program they are hooked. If they were interested in program A and they made money through it (they obviously did make money, or else he wouldn’t be pulling $500 a month from it) then they would be interested in programs B-Z too.

After a bit of chatter he asked me what program he should get his contacts into next. My advice to him is as follows - find 10-15 programs that you like and can reach the payout level fairly quickly (within two months) then build a simple landing page* for each program then let your friends and family about each and everyone. Apologize for the other program going tits up and explain that it’s part of making money online and that this time they won’t be stuck in the same trap because they will have several programs on the go at once.

*When I say simple - I mean simple. Include a few screen shots and an easy to follow explanation of how it works and more importantly what you get paid for. Don’t highlight text, make it a different color or any of that other crap. Marketing to your friends and family is a lot different from strangers.

I’ll keep you updated with how my friend goes, I’d be surprised if he isn’t making $500+ by the end of next month.

If you don’t already have Firefox, then you’re going to be thankful that you read this post. If you do, you’re still going to be thankful.

When you start you’re money making quest, the first thing you’re going to notice is that you have to fill in forms. Lots of forms. This isn’t very fun what so ever, in-fact it’s the thing I hate most. I used to have notepad open with all my regular information: e-mail address, first + last name, contact phone # and address. This saved quite a bit of time, but it was still rather annoying copying and pasting.

The other day I was playing around with some of Google’s referral products and decided to install the Google tool bar for Firefox.

I didn’t take much notice of the toolbar at first. It’s mostly junk, or stuff Firefox already includes like a spell checker. Then I was filling out a form and I hovered over one of the boxes and it said something along the lines of “Google’s AutoFill feature can fill this form out for you”. I clicked the AutoFill button and I had to fill out the standard things, but then I had to do was click it again and it AutoFilled it for me. Now whenever I am presented with a form - I click that magical button and bingo bango, it’s done for me.

And if you don’t already having Firefox - well you are missing out on a world of fun. From tabbed browsing to plug in madness.

Disclaimer, if you do download Firefox and the Google tool bar with the link above then I get paid $1. Although I am actually in love with the AutoFill feature and the affiliate system had nothing to do with me promoting it. If you don’t fall in love with AutoFill, contact me and I’ll donate your $1 to charity, along with a $1 of my own!
