Hey guys. This is probably my last post as the owner/author of The WWW Observer. In case you didn’t know, I’m selling this blog. I’ve received promising offers, but it’s not yet sure when “the one” would take this blog. I promise though that I will introduce the new owner to you.

Anyway, here’s a post (probably a short one) to tell you guys how I really make money online. I’ve been sharing tips and tricks with you (and some ways how I make money), but I haven’t compiled a list of how I really earn.

1. Playing with Photoshop - I actually mentioned this already, so just read this post if you want to know how I do this. Basically, I just do some designs and sell them over at Digital Point. They don’t go for $300+ or something in that range, but at least I earn some money when I’m kinda bored and decide to do some “Photoshopping”.

2. Writing for this blog - Well, I won’t be able to make money by “writing for this blog” anymore once it’s sold, but I know that I haven’t shared how I earn with TW3O with you. I just sell ad spaces and some sponsored reviews to people.

I have installed Oiopublisher to automate the ad selling process — that makes it a lot easier for me! Advertisers don’t come all the time though, so there are were times when I have had to post a thread at DP to sell ad spaces. It’s pretty easy to sell ads when you’ve got stable traffic and a good number of readers, so work on that if you don’t want to search high and low for advertisers!

3. Affiliate marketing - I have signed-up for different affiliate programs. They pay well, especially if you know how to get people to buy the affiliate stuff. Promoting a product that is related to your site/blog, or something that appeals to your contacts is a good idea.

4. Reselling stuff - I bought PLR stuff some time ago, and I have profited from them. I just bought some PLR articles and e-books, then sold them for a low price. I sold a lot of copies and gained what I spent in only one day.

I also bought a couple of WordPress themes before and I added a link to my site in the footer. I sold three links per theme to sponsors. Not only did I make some money, I also got some links to my website.

5. Offering services - Some of you know that I offer WordPress services and writing services. Well, I make money by doing those stuff as well. It’s fairly easy for me to write about stuff that I care about (I enjoy it too), so it’s not much of a hassle when I get some “orders”. You should consider offering services THAT DON’T MAKE YOU SO STRESSED. Keeping your body and mind healthy is more important than money. You wouldn’t want to earn $1,000 and then spend $1,500 for hospital fees, right?

6. Developing websites - I often develop small websites and sell them for a good amount of money. I just create some unique content, get a nice design, and then promote them for a month or so. Doesn’t take up much of my time and makes me a nice amount of money. If you have some cash to spare, try doing this as well.

There you go people, my methods of making money online. As you can see, I didn’t delve into specific details. Why? ‘Cause I want to keep them a secret. Just kidding. It’s because I have no time to write all the details here. As I said, you can contact me via e-mail (linearprodigy [at] gmail [dot] com) if you want to keep in touch with me.

I mentioned before that there are a number of projects that I plan to work on in the future, so again you can reach me via e-mail if you’re interested in my future projects.

Before I end this post…

Here’s something that I would like to share with you. It’s a poem by Edgar A. Guest.

Can’t is the worst word that’s written or spoken;
Doing more harm here than slander and lies;
On it is many a strong spirit broken,
And with it many a good purpose dies.
It springs from the lips of the thoughtless each morning
And robs us of courage we need through the day:
It rings in our ears like a timely-sent warning
And laughs when we falter and fall by the way.

Can’t is the father of feeble endeavor,
The parent of terror and half-hearted work;
It weakens the efforts of artisans clever,
And makes of the toiler an indolent shirk.
It poisons the soul of the man with a vision,
It stifles in infancy many a plan;
It greets honest toiling with open derision
And mocks at the hopes and the dreams of a man.

Can’t is a word none should speak without blushing;
To utter it should be a symbol of shame;
Ambition and courage it daily is crushing;
It blights a man’s purpose and shortens his aim.
Despise it with all of your hatred of error;
Refuse it the lodgment it seeks in your brain;
Arm against it as a creature of terror,
And all that you dream of you some day shall gain.

Can’t is the word that is foe to ambition,
An enemy ambushed to shatter your will;
Its prey is forever the man with a mission
And bows but to courage and patience and skill.
Hate it, with hatred that’s deep and undying,
For once it is welcomed ’twill break any man;
Whatever the goal you are seeking, keep trying
And answer this demon by saying: “I can.”

Well, if you’re doing something and you want to attain success, never ever say “I can’t do this!”. Just work hard to reach your goals!

If you’re thinking it’s too hard to do something, and decide to just look for shortcuts… here’s something for you:

“The elevator to success is out of order. You’ll have to use the stairs… one step at a time.”

-Joe Girard

I used that quote in this post as well, feel free to read it if you haven’t yet.

Final words from me… Ahem. Thank you for everything, guys. I really appreciate you for subscribing, reading, and commenting. Writing for this blog was a great experience. I learned a lot by running this blog. I’ll never forget this experience, and the people who helped me go higher with this blog.

Thank you for everything Chetan, multippt, Tay, Jane, Yuhu, Jason, Renn, Chanya, Life is Colourful, Wayne, Bobby, Hussein, Ikki, and everyone else whom I wasn’t able to include here. You guys know who you are. You’ve helped me improve my blog and you will never be forgotten!

Of course, special thanks to Mr. Mike Smith of Blog Theme Machine for making me realize that getting scammed can really be frustrating, and experiencing it will make us choose the people whom we deal with carefully. I will never ever forget that one time that I got scammed on the net. It was my first, and I can say that it will probably be the last.

I’m pretty certain that we will cross paths again (except the scammer). Someday, somewhere, in this world called “the internet”.

Truly yours,
Jug
