On Wednesday I was going through my emails and one reader of MrGPT emailed me asking “how can I make money from referrals? I have a large downline, but many of them do not visit the GPT site anymore”. It reminded me of a great tip that I haven’t really shared with many.

Some may know it, others may not. I have not seen many people using this method (since you are notified via email when this happens) so I am assuming that is not very well-known.

Okay, so you know that site inbox (please note I said site inbox, this is different than your email inbox) that the site owner uses to contact you with new offers, contests, promotions, etc? Well, every time you are sent a message on the site inbox, you are also receive an email saying you have a new message in your site inbox on so-and-so site.

Now this alone will get that “dead” referral to come back and visit the site in most cases, but him/her seeing a promotion from the site owner may not do any good. So here’s what you do… You send your WHOLE downline a message from the site inbox. Type a short message saying “Hey, there are some new offers on the site, blah blah blah”. Make it sound good.

Welcome to Week 7 of 7 Weeks to Success! It’s your last week, and by now you probably have a pretty good looking site! It should be filled up with some content, Google Adsense, have a good number of backlinks, and maybe you’ve even been receiving your first few clicks!

There isn’t much to say this week. Just stick by your site, and continue to update it. One of the biggest problems I see with people is that they will eventually give up if they don’t see instant results. Truth be told, you may not “hit it big” with the first site you create. Maybe it will take your third or fourth site. However, never give up on a site (unless you are selling it for a good amount of money) just because you’re not getting instant results.

Remember, the more sites you have, the more likely you are to make more money. If you have one site making $5.00/day, then imagine what you’d be making if you kept the other sites you may have gave up on. Maybe not as much as $5.00/day, but it all adds up.

Now that you have a pretty good idea of how to create a successful, money-making website, all that’s left to do is repeat! Get a good network of blogs going, and once you are making some good money, you can outsource a large majority of your work to ghostwriters and all your work is cut out for you!

If you have any questions about ANY week, or you’d like to get more information on a certain topic, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I will go above and beyond to answer your question and help you with whatever you need.

Welcome to Week 6 of 7 Weeks to Success. I’ve been sick with the stomach flu lately, so I apologize for the late update. This week, I will be talking about one of the majority webmasters and online marketers biggest regret; building an opt-in list.

What is an opt-in list? In general terms, an opt-in list Just think about it - someone visits your site and leaves. One lost visitor with not much of a gain. Now imagine if you someone visits your site, reads some content, and decides to opt-in to your mailing list. Although it may look like you didn’t make any money, you’ve made a subscriber which can potentially generate you money.

So how do you start an opt-in mailing list? Unfortunately, it’s going to cost a little bit of a monthly cost, but overtime it will pay itself off from all the money you will make from it. Plus, you can try it out free for 30 days. The service I’m talking about is Aweber. They are a very professional mailing list company and really do care about their customers.

So let’s start on your opt-in mailing list. Go ahead and click here to try Aweber free for 30 days. Once you’re set up, you’ll be able to login. It’s very easy and pretty self explanatory on how to set up your list. If you do happen to run into any problems, you can use the Live Help feature to chat with someone from Aweber.

When you set up your list, you should be given a code for how to implement it into your blog. Go ahead and apply that to your sidebar and in the footer of all posts (this can be done by modifying the single.php). Before you know it, you’ll start gaining subscribers. Once you have a good amount, you can start sending out “broadcasts” filled with valuable information, and periodically send out an email about an affiliate product you can find off Clickbank that’s related to your niche. If you’re a member of NeverBlueAds, they even have some email creatives that are ready for you to use.
