Glorified Cheating

Recently I came across a review that boasted about a money making program on internet. This glorified writing was about an eBook for US$ 39.99, revealing a method on how to make money online with YouTube and domain parking. There are many known bloggers who wrote great about this book. All the blogs were directing to a forum thread at digitalpoint for more details.

There is no reason why you don't get excited and shell out US$ 39.99 (there are some offers as well). But only after you pay, you will see the content of the eBook. It is an amateurish word document on a very well known idea of posting videos at YouTube to promote a website. Park a domain at GoDaddy or Sedo, then promote that site URL by watermarking some videos with the site URL and posting them at YouTube.

Now to make the kind of money they promise, you need to watermark and upload atleast 200 videos. Only when you start doing you will realise the effort required. (They provide some sex video clips along with the eBook for you to watermark and upload to YouTube). You can only experience the worst part after all the efforts you put in. It is almost sure that either your domain account or the YouTube account will be banned by the time you are ready to collect your first check.

Isn't it cheating? Selling a well-known idea of using YouTube to promote a website? Will you be happy if I sell you an eBook on a revolutionary idea to quench your thirst, and give you a word document with a list of beer labels available in the market?

What I don't understand is why all those respected bloggers on net are promoting this eBook? Is there a conspiracy?

Where Is The Traffic?

So I created a website. But where is the traffic to generate money. I am the only visitor to my site until I do something to attract internet traffic.

You may find many advertisements offering you a pre-built website that can make you a millionaire. You will scroll down miles and miles to see the testimonials of many millionaires !! Beware..! Don't fall into such scams. OK.. We cannot say it a scam. But it is not as easy to make money from a website as they say. To make millions and millions out of a website you need trillions and trillions of visitors to your site. And that is not easy. In fact, you may not even get a single visitor just by creating a website. It requires time and lot of hardwork.

Now I have a website and I need visitors. Cheapest way is to post about the website on various web directories and forums. The other option is paid advertisement to generate a sure traffic. But will it make money or you lose? Lets see. I am advertising on AdWords for a small amount (to start with, just 2.5 dollars a day). We will have a revenue analysis shortly.
