Betfair Could Be Your Talent

I have talked about this before on this blog. Betting is one of the least obvious ways of making money, It is perceived as a "loose only" system. However for it to have that reputation we must also believe that the bookmakers steal all your money. Neither judgement is true for bookmakers also take risks as well as you do. But what the "bookie" does is use the odds in his favour. Now here is the difference with Betfair. This site lets You become to bookmaker as well as make bets. You take and make them against others just like you. So if you are against other "normal" people the doesn't them mean that with a bit of cop-on you can rise above the others? Thereby making yourself a decent buck in the process. Now with this alone you could go for it but to make it that little bit better I have created a model that allows you monitor you lay/bet outcomes when inputting the odds. So you make sure you are using the best suited odds. I have also added a couple of sheets so that you can analyze your winning and loosing bets/lays. If you want a copy of this model simply email me and its yours, it works on MS Excel and Im not charging for it. To show your appreciation for this info, the model or even any on the inforamtion on this blog please sign up to Betfair through the links found throughout the blog (if you are going to anyways that is!)

Money Maker UK

A partner invited me to participate in a project he was running that involved getting paid for completing different types of offers. Willing to help him out, I agreed. He is a bit amateur but after a while I started to see the the project was nearly flawless. The simplicity of it being that he deals with the customers himself instead of running a website and also that you are not risking any money of sorts. Admitedly he has a limited range of companies that offer solid deals, but they are recognisable and respected. Companies like Blockbuster Online basically. It is not a steady money making process. But I am on his list and he said he would contact me if anything more arises. Anyways I made a decent £140 off it so if you are interested here is his blog with more info. Oh and you have to be from the UK. He is working on a US project but it is not up yet.

Misspelled Web Addresses

Say you are the average person and you want to go to "amazon.com". But today you are in a rush and so instead you type "amzon.com". A page appears telling you of an error and that the Url entered does not exist, so naturally you type it in more slowly. What if you owned "amzon.com"? All you have to do is create a blank page with nothing in it except a simple html code that redirects the user automatically to Amazon. Then you become an Amazon affiliate. It is really simple to sign up for and you do it directly from their site. With that they will give you a referral link and that's it! You use the referral code on your blank 'Misspelled Page' to redirect the people to the proper Amazon page and you will receive a commission of whatever money they spend.

Now the above example is, after all, just an example. Actualy Amazon themselves own "amzon.com" to redirect to their main site. But the opportunities are out there and the challenge for you, is to find them. Good Luck.

Profiting From Google’s Success

Google made $6.138 billion in revenue last year. With over 91 million searches a day they have become the most recognised site on the internet. Not bad for a company that’s been around for less then 10 years. The question is; can you use their success to create yourself a profit?

Well there are two ways doing it. Firstly through ‘Google AdSense’ and secondly through ‘Google AdWords’. Putting it basically, ‘Google AdSense’ pays you to show their ads where as you pay ‘Google AdWords’ to show your ads. The one I want to talk about today is AdWords; I will mention AdSense at a later date.

So let’s look at it more closely. AdWords offers you advertising space on Google.com, where you ‘Pay per Click’ (PPC). So every time someone clicks on your ad you pay an agreed amount. $0.03 is the minimum. If you want your ad to be shown above the others you offer to pay more per click. Then you have Keywords which you look at individually, but I won’t go in to too much detail.

And how do you make money from something you have to pay for? The answer is affiliating. You promote pages from which you will receive a commission. Ok, that may not sound so simple but it’s hard enough to explain. But the idea is that you become a member of an ‘Affiliate Network’ site and from that site you choose a company site to promote. You then get a unique link from them which you can use to promote them. The company site will either offer a percentage of the amount spent through your link or offer you a set amount per ‘sign up’ or ‘lead’. Let me give you a run-through:

You sign up to ‘Commission Junction’ and search through the companies. Suddenly you spot eBay and you see that they pay $10 per ‘sign up’. You decide that this could be a very profitable campaign so you become an eBay partner with a single click and get your referral links. You then proceed to your AdWords and set up you ad. You do some research on Google and notice that there are no ads for the search keyword ‘Action Man’. You build your ad along the lines of “Get Latest Action Man On eBay!” and insert your referral link. As there are no other ads with that Keyword you pay the minimum of $0.03 per click through. Now say that every 1 in 50 people that click through sign up (probably would be closer to 1 in 20). That will cost you $6 on AdWords but you get a $10 in your ‘Commission Junction’ account. That’s a clean $4 dollars profit. Now considering the 91 million searches a day… You are likely to get a hell of a lot more click-throughs than 50 a day. That’s your 1st campaign set up for automated income.

Hopefully I have been able to give you a more or less understandable insight of what the project involves and now you could, if you wanted, try and start your Google campaign based of what I have written. If you are really serious about it there is the eBook, GoogleCash which goes in to more detail over what I have just told you. The features of the eBook include: A downloadable 87 page PDF ebook, examples of profitable campaigns the author has run, access to the author's personal resource of marketing ebooks and tools, free email support from the author and a 3 month, money-back guarantee.

Now please listen carefully. The eBook costs $67 and believe me it was worth it. But I only to people that have a drive to make money. There is some work involved through the forms of Keyword research and so on. If you just want to give it a go, work from what I have told you. You can contact me if you need any help. Here are a few links to get you started:

Paying Surveys

You may have come across this before or you may have not, but there is various sites out there that will pay you to take surveys. But be careful. There are some sites that ask you to pay them for a list of these survey websites that pay. I friend of mine purchased one of these lists and allowed me to have access to it. It really isn't anything special. You pay around about $50 for the list with promises of $25 surveys and "make your money back in a week" guarantees, and what you get is a list of 100 odd sites where: over 50% offer their rewards in the form of prizes and not hard cash, 45% work on a points based system (eg. when you get 300 points we will sent you $25), and less than 5% offer checks over $10 per individual survey.

And to be honest, 6 months later and I haven't been contacted by any of the 'individual paid survey' sites... Ok it isn't all bad, there a few of the point based sites that do pay, and I received checks from a few of them. But I have stopped taking surveys a while ago. To properly make money you have to pay attention to the questions and make sure your answer always match the profile you entered. I find this way too tedious and prefer to look for other ways of income.

So my advice to you is that if you are interested don't buy a list. Take some time and try to find some sites yourself. I will list the two that worked for me and from which I got paid. Also, if you are interested, I have the log on details to one of the survey list sites. There are 150 odd survey websites on there. If you are interested feel free to contact me, I'm not asking for anything in return.

(sent a check for $50 after accumulating 1000 points)


(pays on average £1 per survey if you qualify for it)

Merchandise almost for free?

Now this is a really interesting sector. Sites that will give away expensive gadgets in return for referrals in to completing an offer. A couple of years back I found this website that offered a PS2 and all you had to do was complete an offer (they varied from starting a free membership with an online DVD rental company to depositing £10 in to an online bingo account) Of course I was naturally skeptic and didn't pay much attention to the scheme. But I have encountered this same site again a couple of months back and still it was up and running. What surprised me even more was the fact that it had gathered quite a reputation inn that time, for maintaining their promises and delivering.

Curious, I looked more deeply in to the scheme. From the look of it you could sign up for an offer, that doesn't involve too much personal risk and you get rewarded greatly. I personally favoured the the betting exchange offers, not only because I can make money out of it in the first place, but because I could withdraw the £10 once I'd received my 'gadget'. So say I choose the '30gb Ipod Video' which required that you referred 10 people to the site. The 10 people are then referred and they all complete an offer. They have spent this £10, maybe lost it, maybe not. That's say £100 from your 10 referrals (but take in mind that there is also free offers you can complete, so the £100 is a maximum or at least an average)... But how does that compensate for receiving a £200 Ipod?


For that I had to work out where the profit was for the website. Looking at the offers individually, I concluded that they obviously pay the site for the referrals. I've looked at affiliate marketing before and am a member of many of the Network sites. And I searched through them to find the companies providing the offers to see what commissions they pay. And I found them. Take the betting exchange company. They paid a 'Commission' of £25 for each new member you refer depositing £10 pounds or above! And there it is revealed. The 'Giveaway' website makes £250 pounds for every £200 Ipod they give away. That's £50 pound profit.


In conclusion, companies nowadays are so intent on gaining new customers they are prepared to offer high commissions, gambling on the fact that they will go on to make money off these new customers. Where does that leave you? In a loophole that allows you receive these products almost free. I find it amazing that a system like this can work so solidly, for it does seem to work in everyone's advantage. Here are a few of the sites in the Giveaway Network. Have a look for yourself and please feel free to comment and leave me your opinions.
This is the one I completed. Simple and easy.

Free 60Gb Video Ipod Video
Probably the most known item of the GiveAway Network
Now this is the supreme GiveAway item. Worth well over £2000

Stop HYIP!

Stop HYIP Scam


After much research and failed attempts to make any income from HYIPs and 'Autosurf Programs', I am now strongly against them. I never truly believed there was a chance with them, but there is always that hope of riches that grips you and takes you in. There is however investment programs that do work. But they mainly deal with very large investments (We are talking hundreds of thousands) and there is only one exception that I could find. And that is FeederFund. They work by pooling your funds and investing with large sums. You choose the program you want your money invested in and you get your returns based on their profits every month. The best program in FeederFund is FXIG which gave returns on average of 10% a month. Sadly FeederFund is now not open to the public and only deals with its current members, of which I am proudly one of them. My advice is that you stay well away from HYIPs. You will loose your money with them, almost guaranteed.

Sporting Exchange

I have been researching the methods behind which "Bookies" make their money. They set their odds so that whatever outcome happens they make a profit. Take a soccer match just as an example: You have 3 outcomes. Win, Loose or Draw, with odds of 1.5, 2 and 3 accordingly. If you bet on all 3 odds you will loose 75% of your money. I will tell you how I worked that out in a second. So the bookie happily takes in the money knowing that he will make a profit out of the odds he has given. So what happens if You become the bookie?...

There are various sites out there that work on a betting exchange method. So basically you have the choice of setting the bets or betting on them. The most famous is BetFair.com, famous for winning over PayPal as a Payment and withdrawal service. PayPal is very cautious when it comes to programs that are have a lot of money tied within the network so this is quite an achievement. But anyway, this got me thinking. Its fine to play bookie on these sites and set your odds. But in a way it was just as risky as the betting itself.

I needed to be able to work out how I could set all the odds so that whatever the outcome is I make a profit. This got me in to days of trying to work out the formulas needed to make the method flawless and riskfree. To which I have acheived. Once I add the finishing touches I will make it available to the public. If you are interested or want more info feel free to contact me.
