One Year Anniversary

Friday, May 9th, 2008

I was looking through some of the archives on MrGPT and noticed that this month is the one year anniversary of MrGPT!

 When I first created the site, it was just a little blog with barely any traffic. Today it is one of the top blogs regarding the GPT industry with over 130 unique visitors per day and over 15,000 page views each month. It’s great to look back on MrGPT, my first “real” site/blog, and see how successful it’s been and how big it has grown.

To celebrate, I have reduced the prices of advertising opportunities for paid plugs and blue stripe ads (what you see at the top of the page). A paid plug now costs $15, compared to $20, and a blue stripe ad now costs $5, compared to $15 (almost a 70% discount). As usual, if you’d like more information contact me or check out my Advertise page.

I’m sure MrGPT will continue to be one of the leaders in the GPT industry for many more years to come!

What it feels like to be scammed

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

So being in the GPT industry for so long, I have seen many people get scammed, but I have never personally ever been a victim of being scammed. It was unfortunate to see them get scammed, but I was never really able to see what it felt like - until a few weeks ago.

As some of you may know, I was a somewhat strong promoter of RaidTheBank (site doesn’t even deserve a link anymore). I had over 2,000 referrals and was close friends with the owner, Deidre Bowie. We talked a lot, and even opened up some other sites together.

Anyways, I began to see her on less and less, and she explained that her and her husband, Scott, were going to get married. I still provided support to the RaidTheBank forums, and also managed the “spam control” on there. Now a few months a later, and there is still no reply from her. The RaidTheBank site is suspended since she has stopped paying Shiftcode the monthly fee, and she is pocketing all the money she owes her members.

I cashed out at the end of February with around $480, but I never received it. This is not just some temporary mistake either. I’ve emailed her on numerous occasions, started IM conversations to which she never replied, and even left her comments on Mypsace, which I knew she read by viewing her “Last Logged In” date.

I’m not exactly mad that I just got scammed for $480, because I have other sources of income, but I am not exactly happy that I could’ve easily just had $480. After all, who wouldn’t want $480? Who I do feel bad for is all the other members of the site that Deidre owes. Not all of them have other sources of income, and they deserve to be paid for their work.

Deidre, if you’re reading this, which you probably are, I am very surprised with your actions. Coming from someone who worked for InstantProfitz, it just doesn’t seem right. The fact that you would run away with not only my money, but all of the other members that are furious with you on the forums is just amazing.

How I Made Just Under $1000 in 5 Days

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

These past five days have been one of the most profitable weeks I’ve ever had. As the title says, in the last five days I’ve been able to make just under one thousand dollars. I would barely make that much in just two months on GPT sites. This post has no intention to brag or flaunt my stats, but to actually help you learn how you can do exactly what I did.

What I did is no special trick or advanced technique. Anyone can do it without any special knowledge. You don’t need any special programs, tools, no extra costs. There was no Adwords or any other PPC involved, and absolutely zero dollars was invested. That’s right, this was done through all free methods. Here is my screenshot of my earnings for the past five days:


Not exactly $1000, but one thousand sounds better than $900 :)

Alright, so how did I do it? As I said before, it is actually very simple and easy, but I am not going to make a complete guide on it. It wouldn’t be fair to membership site that I learned it from. I used two methods I learned from WealthyAffiliate and applied the simple techniques.

To achieve the “just under $1000″, I created a Squidoo Lenses. I read about creating Squidoo Lenses to make money from on DigitalPoint, but WealthyAffiliate has a guide on how to optimize it to get it really high in the search engines and a bunch of other good tips to turn readers into buyers.

After creating the Squidoo Lenses, I wrote about five articles per day, and submitted them to EzineArticles. I also used to submit articles to EzineArticles, but could never effectively get high search engine positioning, but WealthyAffiliate has a guide for that too, and I have many #1, #2, and #3 spot articles for major keywords in Google.

If you think you know a lot about internet marketing and making money online, you probably don’t. I thought like that, and once I joined WealthyAffiliate, I stayed up for a whole day just taking in all the information. There’s so much information and guides you can read that the site even has a “Panic” button if you don’t know what to do.

UPDATE: Kyle & Carson (owners of WealthyAffiliate) just made a very important announcement on the WA forums. The price for WealthyAffiliate, which is currently $29.99 per month, will soon rise! However, if you join before May 6 (the date of the price raise), you will still receive the $29.99 per month fee for a lifetime! That’s right, even when the price is raised, you will STILL receive the $29.99 per month fee. Join WealthyAffiliate before the price raise - click here.
