Finally back home and back on the grind. Trying to raise money for everything makes times hard. My hustle has slowed down lately because I’ve taken on a new philanthropic project titled 100 Boots for 100 Kids. Pretty much the plan is to provide 100 Boots for 100 Kids in South Africa. When I say boots I mean soccer cleats. But yeah I figured I’d take this project on and it’s been very very hard so far and I honestly don’t know if I’m going to be able to do it.
I’m still in the process of building the site which I plan to finish by Thursday or Friday and then it’s on to making it presentable enough to get people interested in helping the cause. Besides that there’s going to be a big change in my life come September 15th if you’ve been reading this blog regularly you may have an idea..but it’s going to be a significant life changer. I’m as excited as I am scared.
The goal for the next 2 months is to put another grand or 2 in the bank before the big day comes. My hustle has been so inconsistent lately it’s starting to agitate me. Sometimes you feel like you have no more options but it’s cool because the big break will come and with that will come the money. Did y’all know that one site officialmichaeljacksonmemorial.com is supposedly selling for close to a million? Ain’t that a bit*h?

With OS 3.0 recently released and Turbo SIM’s rendered useless because you can now software unlock your iPhones, the unlocking frenzy has begun which means money for those who are technologically gifted, or those with half a mind and can follow directions. You don’t even need an iPhone to do this but having your own one to practice on is very helpful. You need a few things. A computer, a mind, a USB cord, and the ability to use Craigslist.
I learned how to do everything through iClarified.com – they have great tutorials there.
Save all these links because these are most of possible scenarios you might have to deal with
Once you’ve gotten all the files and made separate folders for each scenario. Get on Craigslist in your city and in the electronics section put up an advertisement not identical but similar to this one – http://houston.craigslist.org/ele/1247601303.html – if you want get more creative.
Once you’ve done all of that sit back and let the calls and texts roll in. Treat people professionally! You need WiFi if they don’t have AT&T and most people feel more comfortable dealing in a public place. There’s money to be made. Get it.
Holla at me.

Yesterday was a huge day in history. As you all know, the World Most Famous Man, Michael Jackson aka The King of Pop died. Man…ain’t that some sh*t. I guess everybody has got to go someday. So what’s this post about? Well, in all respect to Michael Jackson this blog has to see the “Get Money” perspective of everything.
Keeping your head during the storm..
When I heard that Michael Jackson died my first reaction was to get on Twitter, and then on Facebook, and Wikipedia etc etc. I was one of the early birds when it came to finding out. Five minutes later I realized…this is a get money opportunity. I rushed to GoDaddy.com…ripmichaeljackson.com and other domains had already been registered. I was like surprised at how fast people think. So my next move was to try something I’ve never done before – Pay Per Click.
I had a free $25 coupon for Adwords that I got for signing up with Hostgatorso I used it and added another $25 dollars myself. Then I went on Amazon.com and found some affiliate links to Michael Jacksons Greatest Hits and proceeded to run an AdWords campaign. Now, remember i’ve never done this before so I just set it up to the best of my ability (I was learning on the spot). Since it was a worldwide phenomenon I thought I’d run a campaign in the United Kingdom.
Anyways, I got a bunch of clicks but not as many conversions as I should have or could have. I didn’t make a profit but didn’t lose too much so it was a great learning experience and definitely got me more interested in PPC. Yesterday while I was doing this a friend of mine told me, “you like to take a lot of risks don’t you?” No rain, no rainbows – no risk, no reward. Next time something big goes down, while everybody’s spreading the gossip, make sure you’re getting the cake. I know I will be.

This whole marketing scheme was genius to me. Everyone old favorite player in the same commercial as everyones new favorite player. A clean pair of boots, a stunning video that still gives me goosebumps. What else more could I want? Guess I know what I’ll be spending some of my money on in a few weeks/months.
Today I sent my application out to a college. I’ll let you know if I get accepted, pray for me. Anyways, I have some projects underway and back on the grind. I’ve decided to pull out of FOREX completely till I can devote some time and some money into it. Need some more play capital ya dig? Right now, every penny counts! The next few months of my life are going to be pretty hectic as I wrap up life in the States for the time being.
Anyways, enjoy the commercial let me know your thoughts. Every team needs a spark, who’s yours?
If you like the commercial you might like this too-

I don’t know if y’all know but WooThemes has a promotion that if you purchase one of their themes, you get 3 free. I’ve had great success with WooThemes using them for my Niche Blogs and personal blogs alike. I highly recommend them and I also want to mention that you only have until June 24th to receive this offer so if you’re serious about getting 4 themes for the price of 1 you better get your butt over there as soon as possible. Getting 4 themes for the price of 1 is a straight up steal. Just click the image above to get started!!!

I don’t know if y’all noticed but I removed my last post which was a Chip-In for me to go to the World Cup in South Africa. I had a better idea which will be better for me and a bunch of people if it’s successful like I hope it will be. Y’all just stick around and when I’m finished with it and it’s ready for launch you all will be the first to know. It’s going to be a really exciting project and a tough long road but I think I’m going to be able to pull it off.
I’ve been hustling hard lately with my articles and niche blogs as usual and also I’m starting to look into Myspace and Facebook and maybe push some ads on those websites. I don’t know anything about Myspace and Facebook advertising though so I’ll be doing my research for the next couple of days.
What pointers can I give you in this post?
If you really want to make money online – have no shame and what you put in is what you’re going to get out. I spend most of my day (besides when I work out) at the PC and sometimes I see minimal results but when I see great results, they really are great. So just take your time, make your plans, have no shame, execute them accordingly, learn from your failures, and cherish your successes.
Holla at me!

I haven’t announced the winner to my competition yet but I will. I’ve been a little out of commission lately but I’m back. Today I’m going to be talking a little bit about organic traffic and how much I love it. But first let me talk about..
Social Traffic:
Social traffic is traffic obtained through means of…being social. Think social networking sites like Twitter, Myspace, Facebook, Digg, and more. Some sites are well suited for social traffic while others aren’t. I’m not a fan for actively pursuing social traffic because most of the time you work hard for menial results. Not all of the time, but a lot of the time.
I’d also like to mention that some sites are better suited for social traffic whilst others are not.
What is Organic Traffic?
Organic trafficis a bloggers best friend. In fact – it’s any webmasters best friend. Organic traffic is pretty much traffic that comes from an unpaid listing (search engines or directories). Most of the time we’re talking about search engine traffic though. Organic traffic is free promotion…free traffic which if used correctly can lead to free money.
Why?
If you’re not taking advantage of organic traffic by now then your website is missing out on a lot of traffic – which could also mean you’re missing out on a lot of money. As I said in my ebook Adsense Pirateorganic traffic was bringing in around 95% of traffic to one of my main Adsense money makers. I had not promoted the site for one day. So the next question is…
How?
The best way to get organic traffic is through SEO. Search engine optimization. Those are three very important words for any blogger who wants to go far. SEO isn’t as hard as some people make it out to be. It’s a lot easier to start a blog using good SEO practice than it is to convert a blog. Things such as title tags, keywords, and what not you need to pay a lot of attention to. I’m going to do a post on SEO in the future. If you rank high in Google for the keywords your site is based on – and they aren’t crappy keywords of course – then you’ll see some traffic coming your way.
Anyways – I haven’t updated in a while so I thought I would throw this post in just to get your mind wondering. I was looking for World Cup tickets today..meh no good teams left…I’ll wait till the next phase of ticket sales. Anyways – stick around. Stay thirsty – peace.

Hype. We all know what it is. When new Jordans come out – the hype that surrounds them is ridiculous – same with electronics – same with internet marketing products (from top gurus) and more. What I noticed about internet marketing products is that they tend to spike upon release – and then slowly dwindle down. Hype sells.
I made a lot of money by cashing in on the hype of the first Android powered phone – The T-Mobile G1. I wanted this phone – I knew it was hot stuff and mad people were just as interested as I was so I decided to make a site about the phone and it’s applications. A niche site. This wasn’t my first niche site – but it was my first niche site where I kind of new what I was doing.
The sites traffic grew ridiculously and probably in the first 2 days with no promotion it was getting from 7000 to 10000 hits a day. I no longer own that site and probably sold it for less than it was worth but it’s okay. But the hype surrounding that phone was incredible. I spent $7 TOTAL on the domain and made over $10000 from that site.
Cash in on the hype.
From RLShaw.com- Interesting information and something I’m definitely going to be looking into. I want to begin cashing in on the hype that surrounds new internet marketing products. If you’re the first to promote a product then you should be one of the first people to cash in (if you’re techniques are successful).
How do I know when products are released?
I was wondering the same thing but this tool called the Product Calendar should be useful when it comes to IM product releases.
Final Words – Keep your eyes on the road and your ears to the streets. Hype gets you paid. If other people think it’s hot 0 and you know it’s hot – don’t hesitate. Holla at me.
Here’s a short crap vid of me in Houston – Lol.
