You know the deal

That song puts me in the get money mood. I haven’t posted about cake in a minute cause a mans been busy, ya dig? I rarely even post about making money online because I stick to the same tactics most of the time. One of my friends introduced me to this tool about a week ago, and I haven’t stopped messing with it for the past week. My blog has suffered, I’ve been tweeting less (except during football matches), and I’ve been a little anti-social as well. But it’s all been worthwhile and should pay off sooner or later in more ways than one.

Initially, when you open up WebDom you might feel a little overwhelmed. But after you’ve watched a few of the intro videos and hung out in the chat you’ll find yourself moving along smoothly in no time. You can use WebDom to help you build your online presence by promoting yourself on plenty of social media sites (the program comes with plenty of free plugins which saves you time). The thing about WebDom is it’s not site specific, you can create a plugin for any site and WebDom will do what you tell it to do ranging from adding friends, to sending private messages, and anything in between.

I got lucky, a few days after I joined up version 2.5 and the auto-scripting feature came out (you do the actions, WebDom writes the script so it can run automatically next time around). Which made the whole process of telling WebDom what to do 10x easier. You just set it, and forget it.

The support is second to none and I’m not just saying that. How often do you get to talk to the creator of a program on a daily basis? Now it’s not just about promoting yourself or your business, there are plenty of ways to make money directly and indirectly using WebDom, I’ve already started and it’s going well. Imagine. Free trial…what do you have to lose?

To my hustlers…do you see the possibilites?

Onto Siliana – I thought we were going to Tunis for the whole time my friend kind of pulled one of those “SURPRISE MOTHERF*CKA” moments and flipped the script on a brethren. But I rolled with it cause we were in his country and all, man had to see his family right? Both of the 2 posts below were taken on the road to Siliana, a small town in central Tunisia.

Siliana is what I call the simple life. Because it is quite simple. It’s the escape to the country from the big city. It’s the place where everyone knows each other, and you can’t do certain things, or be seen with certain people because word spreads around the town. It’s the place where you buy bread from the same guy every morning for years and he knows your whole family. I had never really been anywhere like that so removed from the city life. It was so cheap for like 30 cents I could get a sandwich that filled half my belly.

I grew a little Nomad Beard channeling energy from my boy Andrew aka the Football Nomad.

My friend took me through the centre of Siliana and I was sitting in the back of a truck, and it was hot, sweaty, and uncomfortable but that all added to the flavor.

Although I didn’t get a picture. One thing I loved about Siliana and Tunisia as a whole is at night you can see every single star. And the moon actually lights up the sky. It’s something us who live in the city never really get to see that often…Cool.

When you see him ask him why he’s holding that plastic bag?

There isn’t a nightlife here but I wasn’t expecting one really. Chill at a cafe, smoke some shisha, drink some tea, and pretty much converse with fellow individuals. After that go home, get something to eat, meet back up later and talk shit ’til early hours in the morning. Thank God the World Cup was playing it gave us a new match to watch every day. That was the blessing of June I got to watch a World Cup match in 3 different countries.

I met a few friends out there through my other friend. Some of them had surprisingly good English, others I needed my friend to translate. But we were all on the same wavelength and had a good time.

I really loved Siliana. I went less as a tourist and more as an extended member of my friends family. And they treated me as one too which was great. I saw things that tourists wouldn’t be able to see and met plenty of people in the town. To be honest I think if I was dropped there today, I’d know enough people to live quite well out there.

And I leave you with… Nizar…this is not the last you’ll see of him.

As I said in a few posts before I’ve been trying to get my paper up because I’m taking a month off (I’ll still be hustling) in June to chill with my friends. So I’ve gotten into ad hustling kind of and just want to catch you guys up with a few of my results. But first let me kind of explain the title. It doesn’t really make sense but it does in a way. In high school me and all my friends almost never paid for our own lunch. Everyday we stood next to the coke machines (when cokes were 75c) and asked people for their quarters everyday. Most people gladly gave you the quarter and once I had about $2.25 I was eating the best lunch we had, with a sprite (I don’t drink coke). But when I asked someone “yo lemme borrow $3 bucks for lunch” no one had shi*.

So anyways I’ve been using Peerfly lately to push a few email and zip submits because out of all the sites I’m on they pay the highest rates in that vertical. I must say I have had relative success I’d say for the short time I’ve been doing this. At first when I started out I was trying to push the paid offers, but I was having a hard time because people are still very suspicious about busting out their credit card on the internet. You know the best scams are done in person? To me, a real life con man who can look you in your eye and scam your thong off your ass > an internet con man all day.

So I wasn’t getting a piece of the birthday cake so I changed it up and started pushing email and zip submits and the money started rolling in and it’s been going quite well for a month now. Nothing special but I was I pretty happy with the results, there’s definitely potential. But you see what I’m saying I’m sure. Rather than targeting the big bucks, I’ve gone for little money over and over and over again. So that’s a challenge to you, sign up to Peerfly or whatever network you’re using, find a cheap offer, and push it to as many people as you can (pay attention to the terms of the offer), and make money. Simple.

As you can tell I’ve been gone for the past week. I’ve been hustling harder than ever. Remember by post Keys Open Doors: Networking – it just blessed me again for the thousandth time in this life. Keeping in touch with a fellow hustler friend of mine who I met on a hair site has opened my eyes to the world of affiliate marketing. I knew about it, but never really got hold of it. Let’s just say that it absolutely dwarfs anything I’ve ever made in Adsense before. Definitely looking into having a good summer earnings wise. I’ll post some screen shots of my earnings soon. This guy is a beast in the game. He’s documenting how he’s going to make $100k in a year online. It’s possible when you look at it from a $275 a day point of view isn’t it?

365Hustle readers – June is going to be an exciting month for me seriously. Two good friends of mine are flying to London and we’re going to make a trip to Spain to enjoy the beaches and culture of Catalunya! After that we’re flying back to London for a short break then heading off to Tunisia, should be a month to remember. Gonna be a lot of visuals too considering I just got my new camera and lens (Nikon D3000 and 35mm f1.8 Lens). I’ve never sent postcards before so I’ll probably send a bunch out like old school. If you want one hit me up before then so I can get your addy and what not.

Life is actually getting comfortable again. Going to be taking the camera out one of these days get some new imagery up around here. It’s been dry lately hasn’t it? Back though I got a month of hard work to do and then it’s home free. Kind of.

They told me I’m gaining weight. I told em I’m gettin paid!

I didn’t know London weather could be so nice. I almost felt like I was in Texas then I forgot that when the sun is shining most of the time it’s too hot to actually enjoy. Went out yesterday on a quest to run some errands but ended up running zero errands and chillin’ on a golf course eating lunch (the noodles looked better than they tasted for sure). Let me tell you…there is no place more chill than an empty golf course. They make these places as serene as possible. It’s the perfect place to relax and find inspiration or even just to think about nothing. Sometimes take two steps back from whatever you’re working on – and go out, whether it’s solo, or with a friend and just relax. Disconnect. It was much needed.

I gave the camera a little run out for the first time also yesterday while I was out there. Don’t be too harsh on me – I’m new!

England goes way back as we all know. So there are a lot of buildings and structures that have been here since before your grandma’s grandma was born and what not.

This badboy is called the Wharncliffe Viaduct built in 1836 (picture is circa 1900). It’s right around the corner from where I live.  During the war the Germans planned to destroy it to stop supplies and movement to West London. I guess they failed because Meji was out there yesterday making futile attempts to catch it in all of its glory…

Anyways all in all it was a great midweek relax. Felt like I was on vacation or something. Hopefully I’ll be on vacation sooner than later but for now back to the everyday grind tryin’ to make a dollar out of 15 cent like always. Hope I can have more days spreading greatness like this and enjoying life while I’m still young. Go out and do something different today. Holla

Hustle Hard.

Went out the other night with a friend of mine and I heard this song in the bathroom (by the way she’s going to be big I think) so I typed it in on Youtube next day and I found a great remix to the song. The dude really killed it and a friend of mine put me on some more of this Dubstep type music that I’ve never heard before. The artist pictured above is Jakwob (the guy responsible for the sick remix). The song in itself is good, I think it’ll be a hit but the remix really hits the spot. Check it out:

I’m one of those guys who has an appreciation for all music, so just because something is of a certain genre, I’m not going to block it out.  I’m sure this genre is old to some people, but it’s brand new to me. Supposedly Dubstep originated in London so it’s fitting that I heard of it when I moved to London. I don’t know much about this genre so I’m not going to go on like I do but I’ve been enjoying the sounds for the past couple of days and thought I’d share it with y’all. If you know of any nice tracks hit me up I’d like to hear them. Hot song below, let me know what you think…

“Open your ears to the streets, and your heart to the world.”

My friend did the modeling and I was the Jean-Pierre the photographer. He’s quite photogenic it seems. He took a few of me, one of them is that picture up top in the banner. Anyways..ever since he left it’s it was quite depressing since I couldn’t capture anything except through my phone, and for awhile my phone didn’t even have a camera. I’ll be getting a camera of my own soon and practicing with it a lot! Should be fun and add a little more eye candy (hopefully) to this blog. Here’s a few snaps I took that day…

I make a little bit of spare change online, been doing it for awhile now. Nothing that’ll have me in a Benzo on Lorenzo’s, but it keeps me fed and lets me do a few things that I want to do. To be honest, my online income is what has been keeping me afloat since I relocated to one of the most expensive cities in the world. Thank God for the hustle…

Anyways, it’s not a secret. If you go back into the archives of this blog you’ll see that every single hustle I’ve ever done I wrote about it, and documented it for y’all. I even wrote a book which is pretty much a step-by-step guide to earning a little bit of money online here or there. But it’s even simpler than that. It’s about work rate. You must work hard everyday if you want something bad enough.

I didn’t just get up one day and said I want to make money online. From when I started my first actual WordPress blog it took me about 2 years before I actually saw some money rolling in – and from there it hasn’t stopped. I sat down for hours a day trying things out, collaborating, experimenting, talking to people. Would you believe in the process I made friends and enemies, I even got ripped off $200 bucks by a 15 year old kid. I was absolutely livid but that’s another story. But I kept my head down and stayed at work in the lab and didn’t let minor setbacks discourage me.

I wrote this post to encourage people who have ideas to act on them. If you don’t act on them you’ll never know, and you’ll be one of those people who could’ve, would’ve, but never did. All I’m saying is making money online is not a phenomenon.  No one is going to tell you exactly what they do, and they sure as hell ain’t going to do it for you. You have to be original, persistent, spend a little money here and there, and most importantly – DON’T BE AFRAID TO FAIL.

Believe.

Good luck and Godspeed.

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 Hostgator so 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.

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 traffic is 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 Pirate organic 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.
