Free Flowing Money


Trickling FREELY into your account...

Everyone needs it. Everyone wants more of it. If you didn't, you wouldn't be here, right now, reading this. Wanting money is the easy part. Needing money is a no-brainer. But getting it? That's where most of us seem to run into a brick wall.

Ok... So you're nodding your head and wondering what my point is. Long and short, you don't need to be told that the solution is to get more money. What you need to know, is quite simply... How?

-How do you get a better income?

-How do you keep your bank account growing each month?

-How do you pay all your bills, and still have money left over 
for the extra things?

-How do you get to live the life you want and deserve to live?

How do you have all this, and not have to work three jobs or sacrifice yourself and your family in the name and pursuit of money?

What if there was a way to literally get FREE money? And no, I don't mean you have to rob a bank, or go out and fill out application after application for all those scattered and highly sought after government grants.

You'd certainly want to know more, wouldn't you? You'd definitely be up for some of that FREE Flowing Money, right? Wouldn't you go out and open up an account right now, just so that money had somewhere to trickle into?

What if I told you, that getting that FREE Flowing Money is as simple as doing just that? Or, at least, that's the first step for it. Because, after all, without somewhere for it to go, how can it get to you?

I'm hoping you're still with me, because I have spent a lot time researching this very subject. And like you, I definitely want more money in my bank account every month. But, it hasn't been much fun. And the headaches? Let's not even talk about those!

So, let's see if I can't save you some of the trouble and roadblocks that I've encountered (not to mention the secrets that people are trying to keep under lock and key!) while discovering how to get FREE Flowing Money.

Interested? I know I sure am... Which is why I've started this blog. To share what I've learned, what I've discovered (some of it may really surprise you!), and what I'm going to find out along the way.

Driving Traffic

Now that you have everything you need, let's start getting you on your way to getting FREE Flowing Money!

Traffic isn't going to magically start making it's way to your sales letter just because it's been put out there for the world to see. It'd be wonderful if it worked that way, but sadly... We have to put a little more effort into it than that.

For those who don't have a large spending budget for traffic generation, I'm going to let you in on a way to generate traffic without spending a dime. I'm not saying it's not going to cost you something though. Because, for everything there is a cost. However, it's not going to be money!

What will it cost you? Time and effort. If you're not willing to put at least those two things into this, you're probably not going to make much. There's always a chance your sales letter and site name may get lucky. If you have enough Facebook contacts, and the hits strike the right strings, you may get a trickle. You never know! But, do you want to leave it all up to luck?

More importantly, do you want to stop at just a trickle with a small amount of time and effort can generate so much more for you?

The more you put into this, the more you can get out of it. Much like many things in life...

So, what's the trick to generating traffic without spending a dime?

Being active in forums and discussion boards!

Would you believe it? It really does work. If you go to the websites where people are actively talking about the products and niches that you are promoting, and you get active in those discussions and forms, you're going to draw attention to yourself.

Here's how it works:

Step One: You set up your account on those websites, and you select a clear and relevant user name that pertains to the genre you're going to be promoting. You want to be taken seriously, so don't use something that's going to turn people off from what you're saying. The same goes with any user image you choose. Keep in mind, you're portraying an image of your own credibility here, and you want it to say that you are worth taking serious.

Step Two: You set up your profile so that in your signature, your site address is listed!

Step Three: You get active! You spend 10 to 15 minutes at least every day in those forums and discussion boards. Not just reading them, but answering them. Putting your opinions up, and sounding like an intelligent, well written user. Again, keep in mind that you want to portray a credible, worthy user here. Image is everything.

Step Four: You wait for people to get curious about you and start clicking on your site link on your signature. People will. They can't help themselves. People are curious by nature. And if your sales letter is well written, and draws them in, you're going to make sales.

Now, every site has a way to monitor traffic. If you're getting hundreds of visitors a day, and you're still not making sales, then the problem isn't in your traffic flow, it's in your sales letter.

Sometimes, it takes some trial and error to find something that works. Maybe it's not eye catching enough. Maybe the wording is too complex. Maybe it's too simple! Maybe it has too much energy. Not enough? Maybe... You might be one of those people that just needs to hire someone to write the letter for you.

If you've got the traffic incoming, then it's worth the small investment to have someone write you a sales letter. They aren't that costly, and can start as low as $15 for just one. In some cases, that's just one sale to get your money back. A pretty safe return risk. But, that's really up to you.

Now, for those of you who do have a budget to invest into traffic generation, and you want more than a couple hundred visitors a day, and more than just a few extra hundred dollars a day to start off with, there are some software products out there to help you out.

Personally, I can't advise you as to which ones to use, but I can give you some links and allow for you to decide for yourself.

Posting Your Links

Alright... You've got your Affiliate products. You've written your sales letter. It's enticing. It's intriguing. It's exciting!

Now what?

You certainly can't depend on your Facebook page and family and friends forever. Let's be reasonable here! That's really only going to get you so far for so long. If it gets you all that far. You want this FREE money to be flowing regularly into your bank account. Right?

I mean, we're not just talking about getting a boost of income for one single purchase, and then just walking away from it. If you are, then this probably isn't the site for you. Way too much reading!

What we're talking about is making it so that money is flowing regularly into your account. Hence the words FREE Flowing Money! It's free, and if you set it up right, it's going to be flowing freely into your pocket.

So, keeping that in mind, what you're going to need is a public place where you can post your sales letter. Somewhere that traffic can be drawn to it, and it can work for you. It won't do you any good sitting on your computer collecting dust, and if it's somewhere that can't be seen and read... Well, it's not going to be any good either.

The best option I can suggest that won't cost you anything is to start up a blog. The obvious benefits are that it's free to start, free to maintain, and it's easy to use (especially for those who aren't computer savvy). You're already on a blogger site, so why not just sign up and start from here? This is a pretty popular one and interfaces with Google and Facebook already!

The down side to posting on a blog? It's not as easy to generate search engine traffic to a blog, as it would be for other means. Also, a blog has restrictions pertaining to mailing lists, and they don't always give you as much freedom with layouts and appearance, or other coding options for the more advanced users. All things that are worth working around if you're working on a strict budget or have no budget at all to start out with.

What are other alternatives? Well, the best options if you're able to utilize it, is to go ahead and get your own domain. There are many options available out there that you can choose to go with that bill on a monthly basis for those with low budgets.

However, be warned that if you do not have software to build websites, or don't know what you're doing, that you ensure whatever hosting service you go with includes it's own site-builder software with it's service fees. Also, if you're going to be promoting products that are of an adult nature, make sure whoever you go with allows that sort of content or you risk being shut down before you even begin.

Once you establish where you're going to post your sales letter, you then have to decide on a name. Sounds simple, right? Not so much! Your blog name (or especially your domain name if you go that route) will affect traffic flow and your own popularity.

Something catchy is always a great route. However, catchy will only go so far if it doesn't relate to whatever product (or products) you're promoting. If you call your site "The Ziggity Zone", people may see that and have no idea what you're promoting! Sure, it's a fun name, but you're going to have to work harder to get traffic to it. And really, only people who know the site, are going to know what it is when they hear the name.


Let's take a look at an example, shall we? Let's pretend you take a look at at Clickbank, and you decide that you're going to promote FullMovies.Com.  This is another one of my favorite items. 


"If you want to watch premium movies from a variety of genres on your computer with NO monthly payments, NO extra hardware, and absolutely NO restrictions, then FullMovies is your best choice..." 


It's a great annual membership site for people who love to watch movies, but don't want to worry about having to deal with rentals or buying a movie and then end up not liking it. So, it's really easy for me to write a sales letter promoting this website as one of their affiliate marketers. 


Then, all I have to do, is name my location. If I'm lucky enough, the blog address fullmovies will be available, but most likely not. So, I then would have to come up with something else. The smartest route is to get as close to FullMovies, or Downloadable Movies as I can without getting complicated or fancy.


Why? Those are the two terms that people are going to be looking for, or remember if they want to return to my site or refer someone else to it. 


But be careful that you don't try to get fancy about it and use alternative characters or letters. If you label your site FullMoviez (with a "z") and someone refers their friend to FullMovies (with an "s"), what have you just done? You've just given your traffic to someone else! And if they happen to actually be promoting FullMovies.Com, or something comparable, then you've not only given away your traffic, but your affiliate sale as well!


You always want your name to match your purpose or content if you want to have the easiest time getting traffic and referrals. Keep in mind, word of mouth is not only FREE money for you, but FREE traffic too!

Sales Letter


So, now that you've got products to promote, and a way of getting this FREE Flowing Money, how are you supposed to actually get the money to flow?

Where should anyone start exactly?

Let's face it... You want money flowing into your account, not out! The last thing you want to do is to have to go out and pay money, just so you can try and get people to buy someone else's products! That wasn't going to work for me, and I'm certainly not going to expect you to rush out to do it!

Ok, so then what else is there?

You've all seen them. Email after email of advertisements on how to make money online. Get rich quick schemes! Are you rolling your eyes? Are you grumbling under your breath about how those are just scams? Sure, they get people rich quick! The people who create them!

You're right in being skeptical!

Have you ever actually sat down and read all the fine print? All the legal garble they're required to put on their websites or in those lengthy user agreements (also known as terms of use) that no one ever actually reads? Well, guess what? I actually took the time to start reading them!

Did I mention all the headaches I've had in researching this information? Well, if you need to take a nap, just go and find one of those products you're interested in and start reading! Of course, that's assuming they make it easy for you to actually find that information! A few of them wouldn't allow me direct links until either signed up for their email list (can we say SPAM central?) or purchased their "Risk Free" products.

Now, me being me, and rather resourceful, I know that this information is required to be publicly available and was able to access it going through some unconventional "backdoor" methods. Maybe there were easier ways, but I'm not an internet or computer junkie with a dozen degrees hanging over my head. Regardless, I did outsmart their cleverness in keeping me from actually knowing what they were legally obligated to disclose!

Many of these tried and true methods out there, including the high tech software, is going to be relatively new on the market! They may have only months under their belts, but sound like they've been making people money for much longer than that. Of course they sound fan-flipping-tastic! It's called marketing! The developers hire someone to use clever wording and phrasing to pique your interest and get you to click that button so you'll want more.

Hey, guess what? I used it on you on my first page!

Maybe it wasn't as glamorous as it could have been had I hired a professional, but the message and the purpose were exactly the same! I used language and wording techniques to get you interested so that you'd come deeper into my site (in this case, my blog), and continue on. Feeling a little bit duped? Well wrap your head around this... Being able to catch someone's attention, is how you can get FREE money!

Here's what is actually happening. They are hoping to get your attention, and appeal to your sense of urgency. They want you to be excited or so curious that you'll act right now, and impulsively buy their product, or sign up for their free offering or newsletter. And once they snag you, then they're going to try for the up-sell.

They are setting you up to give them money, even though they are offering you free information or samples! And you aren't even aware of it, because you're hanging on their every word. Hook, line and sinker!

Go ahead, pull open your Google and just type in "Example Sales Letter" because that's what they really are. Even the ones neatly disguised as helpful references and free offers. Now, click on the very first thing that Google brings up - the images of Example Sales Letter. Take a few minutes, and just look at them! Notice anything? See what they have in common?

Knowledge is power, and right now you've just been given a lot of it! Every time you see one of these from now on, you're going to know what they really are. And with enough practice, you can produce one of these sales letters too. And if it's done right, and combined with the right affiliate marketing products and techniques, you're going to have FREE Flowing Money!

You didn't think you could just go around and say "Hey man, buy this!" Now did you? Well, I suppose you could do that, but I really don't suppose it's going be very effective. Let me know how that works out for you though!

Step One

Clickbank

If you've never heard of Affiliate Marketing before, you've been missing out on a very large money making platform. Believe me, this is how so many people are making thousands of dollars every month without having to break their backs!

This is an amazing way to sell products, and make money, without actually having to open a business and worry about an inventory, employees, licenses, or any of that other stress. 

Here's how it works. You go to Clickbank and you sign up for a completely free account with them. Violla! You are now an affiliate marketer! It was really that simple. Now, you have your first tool for accessing FREE Flowing Money

There are many other affiliate programs out there that you can look into, but for now, we'll stick with Clickbank. All their products are based electronically, so you can promote them without having to worry about shipping and returns, or broken items and lost packages. And they have such a wide range of items to select from for promoting, that no matter who you are, or your interests, you're sure to find something that you can really get behind.

Here's a prime example: MP3 Meditation Club 

The brain is an incredible thing. It plays a role in everything we do. It affects the way we carry ourselves, the jobs we keep, people we choose to keep around us, and even our own sensuality! It's amazing how one organ can be so powerful!

Sounds and vibrations have been used for centuries to influence the world around us. Through music, we set moods, influence atmospheres and create enjoyable experiences. Memories can be associated with certain sounds, just as easily as hearing an old lullaby can take you back to the days of your childhood. 

Now we can combine music and vibrations to create combinations perfectly in tuned with brainwaves to affect the human mind. 

Isochronic tones, Neural stimulation, Mood regulation, and Deep meditation all rolled into one! 

No drugs needed to lull your brain into a deep, rested sleep triggering the production of serotonin! 

Allow yourself to find your center and go into a deep meditation, emerging relaxed and at peace!

Enhance your learning abilities by stimulating the brain to work with you, and not against you!

You don't have to be an avid follower of all the latest techniques to be able to benefit from just turning on the music, and allowing the tones and vibrations in the music to stimulate your brainwaves into doing what they can naturally do if tapped into!

So, as you can see, once you find a product you can get behind, all it takes is being able to promote it! Clickbank gives you the link you'll need, and they have easy instructions and guides to help you along the way. Then, all you have to do is share that link with everyone! 

After all, if you're excited about something, how hard is it to get someone else interested in it? All you have to do is start small. Post on your Facebook. Talk about it on your own blog. If you're in a chat room, and the opportunity comes up, tell someone about it! But be warned, your chat room buddies can and will throw you in their ignore bins if all you're doing is posting links and playing salesman!

The truth is, you do just this all the time anyway. However, you don't normally get paid for it! When you go to the store, and you find something that you simply love, what do you do? You talk about it! You share it with your friends, your family, and if someone happens to comment in passing and you have the perfect chance...? 

Now, you have the opportunity to get FREE money for doing it! And all for just signing up as an 
Affiliate Marketer, and then talking about something you choose to get behind and share your designated link for!

It's that simple. Step one... become an Affiliate Marketer. No muss. No fuss. And even if it's just a couple extra hundred dollars a month, that's still FREE Flowing Money that you didn't have before!

Or, would you prefer it went into someone else's bank account?

For those of you who'd like more information, or addition in-depth reading and have the budget to spend, I can offer you some links to choose from. However, you're going to have to be your own judge here!
