I wanted to post up a little note for all the people that are working hard to make money online.
Some of you may know about my background and history, and that I’ve been working towards my goal of 100% replacement of my real estate income (Just in case the market around here crashes).
Anyways, all I can say is keep on pushing ahead.
It might feel like you’re running in to a brick wall time and time again , but you have to keep pushing forward till you get to your goal.
So far I’ve fallen what feels like 100 times, but now I do feel like I’ve finally made it. My post on Google Money System and it’s now tracking my progress.
I’m the proud owner of something like 50 domains, and only about 3 of them are making money, but the ones that are make up for the ones that are worthless.
Keep On Keepin’ On 
Yes, this may seem odd that I’m taking time out of my normal habit of talking about banks, foreclosed real estate & making money online to bring up a very important topic.
This topic concerns what is undoubtedly the greatest show ever created : Lost
I was browsing the internet for hot topics when something caught my eye : Evangeline Lilly AKA “Kate” from ABC’s Lost TV Show (Greatest show EVER).
It always upsets me to see great , amazing TV shows like lost see the potential of loosing actors/actresses , but thankfully in this situation it seems there’s no truth into the potential of Evangeline Lilly leaving the show. I know I’d be quite upset to see them kill her off or do anything of the sort.
With other shows on TV like Grey’s jumping the shark MULTIPLE TIMES In recent seasons, I wonder what TV execs and actors/actresses have going through their heads. It’s more of a public servant position than any specific thing outside of that.
This post for the most part is a continuation of post #1 : Is Google Money Tree A Scam?
I won’t bother posting a copy of my check from the other post (If you want to see the picture of the check I got , just go visit that post).
I’ve got significantly more emails about Google Money System than I have Google Money tree.
All In all , from the research I’ve done on the program, they both have the same level of legitimacy.
No, In my opinion they are not scams, so long as you treat them as coaching programs and not a get rich scheme.
Yes, you will pay money for the system (just read the terms of service, the program costs about $50/month to be a part of it).
Just like Google Money Tree, you’ll get access to their “system” which shows you how to do internet monetization, something I’ve been involved for a few months now.
Can You Honestly Make $100,000 in 3 months using the program?
Sure, the sky is the limit, but I doubt less than 1% of the people that use the program make anywhere close to that. A more realistic goal might be $500 a month for someone who only does it a hour or so a week. If you spent a little more time on the system than a hour or two a week , it’d be quite a bit more.
As a side note, since the posting of this blog only a few weeks ago, I’ve been contacted by a FEW people who are doing several HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS A DAY with the system , or atleast a similar system. Unfortunately the people who have contacted me didn’t go into too much detail about what they were doing exactly (I wish they would have )
The best part (and you need to understand this) is that income from these google products, yahoo products, AM programs is that they all involve recurring income. Meaning, if you spend 1 hour ,set up 1 ad spot, you’ll get maybe $1-$5 from that spot every day or two.
Too many people get the books/cd/ebook and just give up thinking it’s too complicated, but never go through with the program. The people that do really go through with it do end up making some money.
I’ve had several requests on how to purchase the program trial, you can get it by clicking here to order the trial
I know for myself, doing google money and the competitor systems has been great because my income since SUNDAY (and I’m posting this on a Thursday Night) is $757, so that breaks down to something like $190 PER DAY I’ve been making.
The program does require some learning if you’re not used to marketing ANYTHING online (including ebay) , and along with the rebill program (you get a 7 day trial period ,then they charge you a coaching fee of around $40) , this is the reason people think that Google Money System is a scam , they don’t even bother opening the CD and putting it into their computer and testing it out. Or if they do they throw it in the trash stating “This Is Too Hard”.
I for one know it’s not as easy as some people make it sound , but This week I’ve spent 4hrs max and am at around $190 PER DAY in income that I’m not really working too much on. I’ll post the checks if I get them in a physical form, because I’ve now found out they will do a direct deposit to my checking account, thus not giving me physical checks to print out and show everyone.
I have posted a copy of a recent spreadsheet where I’m tracking everything, so far I’ve made about $4,000 since Janurary.
The physical checks are nice, because it’s some sort banner of accomplishment in my eyes, but the direct deposit is nice because it saves me about 3 days of mailing time.
Why Would Anyone Honestly Post Up A Blog Talking About The Program?
There’s been a few negative press releases about internet programs in general that sell 7 day trial products then bill you for the amount if you don’t cancel. They’ve been around for years and years (Atleast 20 years from what I can tell).
I for one DO NOT do it for charity , I do make a few dollars when someone buys the program, but nothing dramatic at all.
The reason I support the program is because I don’t have time to coach people, to hear their complaints about trying to make money online and the rest.
You see, if you post up on the internet you make money, and don’t tell people to buy a product, they constantly email you , and in many cases call you to try and get help. Normally this wouldn’t be a problem, but when you’re getting literally HUNDREDS of emails and dozens of phone calls every week from people begging you to help them, it gets quite tiresome. I’ve had at least a dozen phone calls from 10PM onward from people asking for help (And to my knowledge never even gave out my phone number.) In addition to this, I’ve been asked by some people to start my own coaching program (and remember, that’s what Google Money System is). Some were willing to pay me $500-$1000 to coach them, and I turned it down.
You can get the $1.95 trial here Just remember to cancel within 7 days if you feel that it’s something you can’t do. Having said that it honestly will take most people at least 14 days to test the program and get used to the system.
See, it takes quite some time and energy to either develop a program to teach people, or to take time one-on-one to make money in any field. Whether it be real estate, small business , making money online ,sales ,ect.
I know of a few coaching programs that are charging a little over $2,000 to be a part of them, and they get literally thousands of applicants to get into the program (And guess what? They don’t even have a money back guarantee).
*Post Updates*
#1 Google Money System Is Now Named “EZ Net Income” I assume Google got them to change the name. Unfortunately Google has been going after A LOT of websites with the name google in it regardless of what the website is about.
#2. I’ve had a about 50 emails asking for a link to Google money system , if you feel like getting the program (and remember it’s a coaching program, not a get rich quick scheme.)

I’m doing a very short review on The Google Money Tree System that is seeing a very big following.
From what I can tell , the company that makes the system has sold somewhere around 50,000 units of the program. From the number of people that have bought the product , there seems to be 100 or so complaints on several “This Is A Scam” Websites.
Normally, I don’t like products with a re-bill, that is a product that has a low up-front fee , then charges after a “Trial Period” is over, usually much more than what the buyer expected. If you really think about it, no business in their right mind would ever give away a product unless it benefited them in some way. I wouldn’t be writing this article, the company wouldn’t be selling it , ect. It just doesn’t happen in most cases.
What has upset me more than the re-bill problems that customers are having, the time frame that it takes the company to send out the product, or anything like that is the comments.
Spending 5 minutes browsing comments about the product , everyone seemed to say the same thing “This product is a scam because it wasn’t EASY”.
I don’t know why on earth anyone would think that they could go from making no money on the internet one day to making $5,000 per day the next? What on earth goes through some of these people’s minds , they buy a product that teaches you how to make money on the internet, then get mad when they can’t do it in the first day or two, then call the company to complain about the re-bill charges, ect.
What everyone needs to understand is that this whole “Get Rich Online” deal isn’t any different than the real estate bubble , commodities trading and the like. Some people do well, some people don’t, and from what I’ve seen so far in my illustrious 2 months of doing online marketing, it’s tied directly to those that spend quality time learning.
Simply put, the people who complain about expenses , “This is a scam” and the like and yet never really try to learn and implement obviously don’t make a dime. However there’s another group that looks at this stuff, and does everything they can to learn it.
The Google money tree (Using Adsense To Make Money) is a pretty legitimate way to make money online. It has the absolutely lowest cost to get into , most of your expenses are in domains and hosting (About $10/month) and you should easily be able to cover all your up-front expenses (I have with adsense).
Now, the important thing is breaking off and learning what else is out there. Once you open your mind to what Google Money Tree Teaches, you might just learn something else to make money.
I’ve made around $2,000 since the last part of December doing this whole make money online/adsense thing, and it’s a pretty good feeling. Sure I’m not making as much as the $15,000/day (And I know several guys who do that every day consistently), but maybe I’ll get there soon.
And guess what? I do subscribe to a similar coaching program called ppc-coach, and pay $49.95 EVERY MONTH to just talk to other people that make money online and get some help from a coach. I’ve used what I’ve learned from the system to make money (About $500 of that $2k is from the coaching program). So for me it’s been worth every penny.
So, what would I do if I were you? I’d just buy the google money tree system here and then REVIEW it for the 7 day period (Yes you can do this and only pay the $3 dollar whatever fee) and if you really, really , really don’t like it , call them and cancel. Unfortunately I don’t think 7 days is near enough to test the program, I know the first night I found out about this stuff, I spent atleast 40 hours the first week trying to figure it out (I did make money the first week). It takes a while to learn, but once you do the fees aren’t really important.
Google Money Tree Comp Check
It might not look like much , but that was 1 of the 5 checks I’ve got from doing this google marketing stuff. My total time spent for THAT specific check was around 8 hours worth of time (So over $800 a hour) I’m due well over that, and This month isn’t over.
You’ll notice that it isn’t directly from google, but one of their compeditors…The google money tree system teaches you enough stuff to use competing products and make money too
So, everyone has been asking me “How Do I get Bank Listings”. I’ve done my best to explain to everyone a basic way to get bank owned listings, so now I’m going to show you all how to MAXIMIZE Your results and get dozens of bank owned listings.
All the methods below are FREE ways that I’ve found to increase the chance of a bank saying ‘Yes’ to you being their go-to person for foreclosure listings.
Method #1
When you submit your application/resume , be sure to include your IQ score. I know it sounds cheezy to do this, but bank managers really want to know you’re not only qualified, but exactly how qualified you are. Be careful not to do the simple IQ tests, but do a thorough one at : Brain IQ Test
Method #2
Do some organic campaigning to be the “Go To Guy” for everyone in your area. The easiest way to do this is to get business cards and leave them literally every where you go. I leave them at gas stations, restaurants, barber shops, the mall , wal-mart and pretty much everywhere possible. Eventually they end up in the hands of buyers and you get calls. If you want a even better idea, get new cards designed at VistaPrint for free. They’ve got a special promotion that gives you 250 cards as long as you pay S&H. The reason I suggest you get new cards is so you know how to track results, each time you see one of your “Special” cards, you know this is working. Banks LOVE people who are popular, so be the popular agent by getting some free business cards at vistaprint , click here to claim yours.
Method #3
I know this sounds stupid to many, but some of the top trainers say that it’s 100% Correct – Be Healthy.
I know this doesn’t apply to EVERY real estate agent, but for many individuals, their internal metabolism is quite sluggish which makes them go through the day groggy and not at a good pace. The healthier you are, the more you can get done in a day (and obviously the more you do + The more you make).
So, what free thing do I suggest? I say do what Oprah , Rachel Ray , Dr Phil and the rest of them say to do….Take an Acai supplement. Acai supplements are proven to increase metabolism and blood flow while cleaning out your system. I found one company that offers free trials of their acai products, you might as well pay the $7 shipping for it and at least try to increase your daily pace. Click Here to get a free trial
Method #4
This one is a no brainer to those of you who are “In The Biz” , but for many agents who don’t have 100 listings it might be new.
Include your credit score when you send a resume to a bank.
Many banks want to know that you’re financially OK to take a listing, some banks will require you to pay for yard care, snow removal, electrical bills and the like.
I found that experian still runs a free credit check at this website. I’ve used it atleast 3 times with great luck, I suggest you get your free credit score today by clicking here.
Method #5
Ok , this one isn’t free, but with as cheap as it is, you might as well do it.
Send flowers to a few banks – I know this sounds odd, but it’s always nice to put a little grease on the wheels and try the good old game of persuasion to get a little extra business.
I found this website that will send flowers to many places in the US for as low as $19.95. A very small investment for the potential $10,000 commission. Visit the website by clicking here.
Well , there’s 5 so far, I will be adding more as I find them.
Well , I’ve been at this for what seems like a year now, although I guess it’s less than that.
I’ve come to realize that my bulk REO plan needs to be continually refined, as the market continues to change. Thankfully ALOT of the frauds have left the business, and the get-rich-quick guys have left too.
Now what we’re left with is a small(er) group of people that are trying to get into massive daisy chain schemes to sell product to smaller and smaller people.
So what I’ve learned so far is that it would be MUCH easier to handle a 1-5m transaction rather than the 25m+ people.
And guess what? The company that contacted me for the $500m transaction CLOSED! Unfortunatley they closed directly with the big guys and not with me, it figures that a company with a 2-5 billion net worth and 10k+ employees wouldn’t use a 23 year old from central Ohio , but it does show that my lead system gets out there pretty nicely.
I decided to take a break from my other website/blog and post up a little status update about my wonderful job of selling homes.
In the past few weeks of showing/selling homes, I have encountered the following :
One Collapsed roof (I’m going to get pictures of this , it’s absolutely amazing)
6+ Live Pigeons
5 Dead Pigeons
20 Pounds of pigeon Poop
10+ Assorted Dead Birds
Unknown Number of Dead Cats
1 Live cat stuck in a crawlspace
3 Homes with wavy floors
1 Home with such bad flooring I almost fell through to the crawlspace
1 Home with bad staircases, enough so almost fell through
2 Deer Poachers (Well , maybe they weren’t poachers, but the property they were on wasn’t theirs)
2 MORE Dora The Explorer Themed Bedrooms
For all those showings and situations , I managed to put 1 home under contract , and have a good potential on one other home.
The whole reason for posting this is so agents and buyers can know what to expect when dealing foreclosed homes.
It’s not glamorous by any means, but it’s a job, and regardless of the risks , I enjoy it.
Agents/buyers – Post comments with YOUR personal stories.
A Great Book For Purchasing Rental Properties – 1 Minute To Rental Property Riches – My Review
Once in a while a book comes along that is unbelievably eye opening in a particular field that you’re involved in. In addition , my post of Is sham wow a scam? did so well….
I found 1 Minute to Rental Property Riches
to be one of those types of books that you should read from cover-to-cover if you’re looking rental property investment.
Rental investment isn’t a bed of roses, and this book doesn’t pretend it is either. This book has a down ‘n dirty approach to landlording that is lacking from most books that are out there.
I would highly reccomend this book to anyone that is considering purchasing rental properties in the future. It would be FAR better for you to spend the $49.95 or so on the book , than spend tens of thousands of dollars on rental properties and loose it , get sued, or worse.
Take a look at this book, and you won’t regret it (I promise!)
Buy the book Here : 1 Minute to Rental Property Riches
So , I figured that I would post up a review of this stuff that’s been on TV quite frequently and is promoted by good ‘ol Billy Mayes (No, he is not dead!) and as a followup to my post here
Anyways, overall , this product preformed as promised , it’s a epoxy type of putty that can be mixed by hand, and will then harden to form a relatively strong piece of epoxy.
It has worked just like promised in all the applications that I have used it on, however you will definitely want to read the instructions for the product. The epoxy CAN cause a alergic reaction with some individuals, so you will want to wear gloves while using it.
Pros :
- Works just like it is advertised
- Easy to use, not overly messy
- Relatively strong (Although I have not tested it).
- Cheap compared to some fixes/repairs from a professional
Cons:
- Can cause a allergic reaction
Overall , it’s a good product and I’d suggest it to anyone , I bought some and haven’t got around to using the whole tube, it seems to last quite a while.
Now that you’ve read my review, you can support my blog by clicking on the below link to BUY mighty putty (Isn’t that cool?)
If you are still hesitant but want to thank me any way (That would be soo nice) you can join a survey group and perform surveys for prizes/money. Every body that signs up and does ONE survey allows me to be paid by the company.
Thanks!
