How To Build An Online Business With An Authority Blog

Make Money

There are many ways to make money online, and many people who claim to be the ones that are able to make you “rich” if you just give them a little of your money. If you do a search for Make Money Online in Google, you will find over 830 MILLION results. Here’s the problem: for the average person, it can be extremely overwhelming. Not only that, but it makes it easy to get scammed. The fact is that there are SOOO MANY Scams out there that it’s extremely hard to know who to trust.

Since I started making money online on January 18th, 2008, I’ve been able to have a decent level of success. However, I would not have experienced much success without the guidance of TRUSTED mentors, who I know for a fact have my best interest in heart. You see, I’ve been scammed in the past (in very painful ways), mostly because I hadn’t done my research. Today, I can say that there are a few (VERY FEW) programs that I trust to be reliable, mostly because of the people running those programs.

What I’m going to do here is recommend MY MENTORS to you. Why? because I know them, and I trust that they will provide you with the best possible training to grow your online business.

So here goes . . .

Instant Internet Lifestyle, by Lee McIntyre

Interview: My Interview with Lee
Program: Instant Internet Lifestyle

This is a program with a name I hate, but value I love. Lee really breaks down what this whole Making Money Online thing is about. He’s one of the fastest growing internet Marketers I know. What I love about what he does is that you can tell that He’s a teacher. In fact, he quit his teaching Job to teach people how to grow online businesses, and he does it well.

Why do I say that I hate the name? Because I hate when people say that things are “Instant”. It almost sounds as if if you buy it, you will instantly become rich. However, if you can look past the name, you will find that it’s a program that delivers a MASSIVE amount of value. I Highly recommend it!

When I started making money online, I experienced decent success. However, it was not until I started my blog here at TheFreebieGuy.net that I really started experiencing success online. It allowed me to establish myself as an authority in my industry and really set myself up for success.

Blog Mastermind is a coaching program my mentor Yaro Starak and the truth is that this program CHANGED MY LIFE – Seriously, it did. Yaro is the expert when it comes to blogging. Blogs are becoming essential to anyone looking to start and grow an online business.

Yaro’s Blog Profits Blueprint (FREE) is a great way to get into blogging, and for more advanced training, I HIGHLY recommend His Blog Mastermind Coaching Program.

To get started, I would recommend listening to my Interview with Yaro. It’s a very informative interview where Yaro details how to make money online with your blog.

(One more thing – This page is constantly updated to make the content as relevant and effective as possible. So you can expect the comments to refer to different programs over time)

You do not need to have any Products to do Freebies. All you have to do is go over to CaliStyle101, register, watch through the video tutorials and get started with a mentor.

I don't have any products. So what do I need to do?

I monetize the blog with affiliate marketing and ads.

i meant "How about monetizing the blog?"

Doing very well Segedoo. I'm not sure what you mean by your question though.

Hey Leslie, it's been a while. How are you? What about monetizing the clog?

Unfortunately it wouldn't be available to you from Thailand. Freebie sites don't allow that. I wish they did, but they don't. Sorry!

Hi leslie,I read your report and you said "You MUST be resident of United States or Canada"As I am Thailand resident. Does it mean I can't make money with freebies sites?

Hi Leslie, Just ahd a very long visit on this blog. Wanted to check out if these programs could be used from India too Awaiting your response Cheers Sandeep

Unfortunately not. Freebie Sites mostly allow US, Canada, the UK, and Australia. Sorry about that.

Hi Leslie, Just want to find out if we can use the trader programe here in the uk? Thank you

Yes indeed. Freebie Sites are becoming more and more UK-friendly. I would recommend heading over to CaliStyle101.com and when you choose a mentor, let them know you are from the U.K. You should be fine.

Hi Leslie.. I am on the MAcrobucks site. After choosing Paypal $40.00, I moved on to the next page. I keyed all the information & reached the next page. But there, it says: Credited Offers: Credited On Offer Name Credit Value No offers credited! Click Here to complete an offer. Confused? ATTENTION: The following offers will call to verify your order and information: Eauction Tutor, Quickbooks, SEO Supervisor (Google), Eauction Expert, Increase My Margin, Yahoo Search Success, Amazon Profits, Forex GTG, and Esuccess2u . This advertiser calls users on the phone to verify their signing up for the offer. They do this in an effort to prevent fraudulent registrations. If you tell the advertiser you did not order, if you cancel the order, or tell them you are only completing the offer for credit (not genuinely interested to try it) - it will be revoked. If the advertiser calls and an automated voice mail answers and they are not able to reach you - it will be revoked. If you provide false information or a false email address, the credits will be revoked and in this case, your account will be placed on hold permanently. --------------------- And thene below the above text, there are a bunch of "Current Sponsor Offers"... I am confused at this stage. What must I do. Please advice. Ben

That's the point where you complete offers. You need to get 1 credit worth of offers completed and once they are credited, I pay you $20. If you run into anymore questions, please submit a support ticket here by clicking support above.

Hi Leslie, I'm impressed with your site and getting excited about making money with freebies. Just have some querries and it would be great if you can help me clarify them. 1. When I checked the freebie sites, they said "chose your free prize" and the number of credits and referrals you need to get that prize. Does that mean I have to complete some offers to get the credits AND refer someones there to get that prize? What happens if I only complete the offer and do not have any referral? 2. The money you share with me is additional to the prize or I only get what you share with me and you get the prize? 3. What happens to the information we provide to the offering sites? Are they safe? 4. What we need to do to become a referrer? Do we automatically become a referrer when we sign up successfully? 5. How many tiers do they have? And for how long do they track the referrals? For example, if I am your referral and I complete one credit. Then I don't do anything until 6 months later. Do you get credit when I complete another offer after 6 months/ 1 year? 6. If the referrals just complete some offers and don't continue, does that mean we have to refer new members every day? Sorry for this long list of questions. Hope to hear from you soon

Hi Winny, to answer your questions: 1. You do not need to get any referrals to do Method 1. Once you have completed the offer requirements, I pay you. If you choose to move on to Method 2, where you get your own referral, you get paid directly from the freebie site, which can lead to more long term profit. 2. The prize that you select is the prize you work towards if you decide to move to the second method. So that's later on. For right now, I pay you 50% of what I receive. 3. The info is safe yes. I did get some telemarketers calling me when I first started doing offers, but I just told them to take me off their list and now I don't get anymore. But the credit card info you use is perfectly safe. I've never heard of anyone's info being used in a way that involves any kind of identity issues, and I've interacted with thousands of Freebie Traders. 4. Once you have met the offer requirements, you can refer people and get paid. When you register, you immediately get a referral link that you can use. 5. It's just one tier. I only get paid for my referrals, not for your referrals. It's not a pyramid scheme type situation. Once you complete the offer requirements, our agreement is over. Going back to the same site and completing more offers won't get you any more money. If you want more, you would have to do another freebie site, or get your own referrals. 6. If a referral does not complete the offer requirements, i.e. if they only complete one offer and need to complete 2, you don't get paid. You don't EVER have to get your own referral. But if you do, you get more money :) Hope that answers your questions. My recommendation would be for you to read the Freebie report that I have (if you haven't done so already). You can get it using the form to the right. Blessings!

Thanks Leslie. That's a quick response. I'm reading your report. Just want to understand more about this niche before I start.

Hi Leslie, Thank so much for all of the available info and support. I've recently gone green on my first freebie site and now have a few questions for you: I definitely want to stick to offers that interest me. However, I'm not finding very many that do. Out of the ones I do manage to find that interest me, the cost usually seems to be higher than what I would make--especially since most of them are worth only a fraction of a full credit. I don't want to spend a total of $60 in order to get $30 in my PayPal account. Do you have any solutions to this? How often do new offers come up? (or how often should I check back to see if something new interests me?) I'd really love to stick with this, but I can see this being a big stumbling block for me (and many other people, I would assume). How do we get around it while we're still mucking around in Method One? Any insights you can give would be wonderful!

Cheryl, I was once new to freebies my self and this stumbling block you mention stood in my way at fist also. but what is really happening is you are wrestling with your own demons here just like I was. "But I want to make some money!" is not taking money out of your pocket the same thing as putting it in? Incentivized Freebie Websites are exactlly that freebie howere in this instance it is 1/2 off for you :P so it dint work out this time. The good news is you get something you are interested in and you are now green on a forver green site :). After wrestling with my demons and tried not to focus so hard on making a buck 100% it became easier. For instance I just green on a Incentivized Freebie Website on sunday. the offer struck between me and the freebie trader was for $25 paid to me for greening on a site I wanted.after looking after the offer I filled out an offer for 1 and 1/2 pounds of coffee 3 1/2 pounders of diffrent blends. cost 3$ Then the was a great offer for personalized dog treats with my pups name on them. cost $6.95 and finally an offer for personalized stamps. "awsome, my wife will love these!" The stamps will arrive with a picture of my wife and myself kissing on our wedding day! cost $18.44 so as you can see it cost me a total $28.39 to get paid my $25. I think I win dont you? not to mention I am also green on a site I was looking to green on. keep at it

Thanks so much Leslie! Im still learning the ropes, but Im trying to take it as slow as possible, even though I want to break out into a DASH completing offers! LOL Slow and steady wins the race!

Slow and Steady does win the race indeed. Take your time, understand the concepts and then take the steps that you need to take. Wishing you the best Rachael!

Leslie, I just wanted to thank you for the referral split at $40 for Macrobucks. I did run into some problems - the first was duplicate offers. I have tried this and that through the years and had forgotten about those. eFax had my information on record from 5 years ago! The second was my valid credit card was rejected. I can't say why it happened the first time but I do know my cc company's security kicked in at wouldn't allow any other transactions on that card until they had verified the transactions with me by telephone. The last problem going forward will be a little unusual in that I'm an affiliate of some of the offers! I need to be careful there, too! Thanks again - the program DOES work but, as you cautioned, I'm taking it slow.

Glad that you were able to make some money. Taking it slow is the best way to go - making sure you understand exactly what you are doing and why.
