TMC Method #15: How To Make 100 Dollars A Day - 5 Easy Steps

This is a great method from MMD, it was written by Justin Tyme.




In order to easily make $100 to $1000 Dollars a day online you have to have the right information. Once you have the tools in place, the income will follow, provided you dedicate a routine of following certain steps to see it through. There are no magic buttons or special tricks that simply do everything automatically. 

5 Easy Steps

How many ebooks or reports have you purchased lately promising to put you on the easy road to internet wealth? Don't worry about keeping count, it's a necessary step in your online marketing curve.

A word of advice; don't let your friends or family chide you for not becoming an Internet Millionaire overnight. Just remember that its the 80-20 rule that applies to business life online, just as it does in the 'real world.' Of every 100 marketers trying to make money on the internet, only 20% will really ever make it. The other 80% try, but never get started or remain unfocused, hopping from one opportunity to another.

If you want to be successful (just as in real life) you have to practice the 'Power of One' approach. That means focus on one thing at a time, get really good at it... then move on.

I'm sure your curiosity is boiling over right now wondering just how easy it's gonna be to make $100 a
day. After all, I'm pretty sure plenty of so called "Gurus" have already promised you instant riches... right?

So what exactly makes the steps I'm going to give you any different from what you already have? There are really more than five steps to successful Internet Marketing, but for the sake of time, I'm cutting the fluff and giving you the condensed version. But don't worry... what I'm sharing works!

Ready to go? These are easy, fundamental steps that you should learn and work on every day.
Step 1 in the $100 A Day Income System is this...

Make sure you have a PayPal, Clickbank and a PayDotCom account setup for yourself. That's most important! That's how you're gonna get paid ;-)

All are quick and easy to setup. It just takes a little of your time.

Go to http://www.Clickbank.com for your Clickbank Account.

Go to http://www.Paypal.com for your Paypal account.

Go to http://www.PayDotCom.com for your PayDotCom account.

You don't need a product or service of your own, you really don't need much of anything.

JUST THE ABILITY TO WRITE A GOOD RECOMMENDATION for someone elses product!

Before you stop reading this article because you possess an inherent fear of writing, I've already made sure you have a way around that, too. You're simply going to become an expert at speaking your article/review (recording it) and having it transcribed. Having someone transcribe your spoken article, may cost you $6.00 to $10 bucks. That's all... no more I can't write excuses, OK?

I know... I'm probably jumpin' way ahead here, but I know you may be thinking about so many other obstacles that you may just think this is going to be too hard... right?

Listen to me... just one step at a time, OK! We're going to go over a lot of things here for sure. All I want you to do for now is relax and trust in the fact that we're gonna go over everything you'll need to know to be successful with my system.

Okay... the first step you've taken is ensure that you have accounts setup so you'll be sure to receive proper credit (and profits) on product referrals.

So here's Step 2 in our $100 A Day Income System.... 

We're going to capitalize on an ingenious method where we simply write one article a day (approximately 350-700 words) and in that article you offer a detailed, unbiased review of someone elses product. That's it!
Step 3 - You go to Marketplace - ClickBank and browse through the programs that you already have knowledge or interest in. Spend some time there. You don't have to feel like you have to pick the first one or two you see. Read the "Pitch Page" and see if it's something you feel you might buy.

Later on, once you get to feeling comfortable there and learn the different ways to search, you'll feel right at home. Several tips for you; when you do your searches, change the search results level from 10 to 30. This will save lots of time. Tip two is don't pick the most popular listed programs as there are a lot of people competing for those.

Learn the difference between 'sort' methods. They are: Popularity, High and Low gravity, % Earned and % Referred. As mentioned earlier, take your time and get to know Clickbank well, really well.

To recap a bit....

*You've setup your affiliate accounts with Clickbank, etc

* You're going to find some products you are interested in reviewing and write a short product review about that product.

* Later, we'll then submit these articles to some popular article directories such as the one you're on now.
Step 4 - Now, let's talk briefly about the actual construction of your article.

Your title is the most important part of your article!

Spend 50% of your efforts on the "TITLE" of your article. This is extremely important. If your title isn't full of benefits for it's readers, chances are the article won't even get read... so spend a lot of time on it!

The above point is EXTREMELY important! The title of your article will decide it's success or failure -- plain and simple!
Step 5 - And here's the kicker...

Once you've written your article, you are afforded the opportunity to place a small "About The Author" byline at the bottom of each of your articles. Many article publishers use this "ad space" to tell folks a little about themselves and then also place a link back to their website.... just like below.

So... you're going to use this small ad space to place a brief note about you and leave your website link where they can easily find your affiliate product link. This way, when someone reads your rave review about a particular product, they just might want to learn a little more about it. So, they simply click on the link at the bottom of your article and VIOLA! They are transported through cyberspace and...

You get credit for the referral and more importantly a commission if this person decides to buy the product. Dang! I love the Internet!

Follow these steps and do them religiously EVERY DAY and you'll certainly be on your way to seeing how others constantly open their email every morning with a hot cup of their favorite coffee and see those PayPal paydays.

TMC Method #14: Make a Game, Make Some Money!

Wonderful post from TheBotNet.com. Written by Subject7890.

Well I hate all of the GTP and PPC Sites, so I did some searching and found this cool site called Mafia Creator! You can make a free text based Mafia RPG, afterward you have made it and people play on it, they will buy in game credits, and when this happens you can recive most of the payment of these in two forms! One is Mafia Coins which you spend on your site (Buying extras such as a domian name, or more options to customise your game!), or you can get payed into paypal once a month!

Method to make money faster!

Well don't get payed into your paypal account to start off with! As the free Mafia Coins are useful to make your game better or people won't play for every long if you have a boring site! Buy a few of the cheap but good tools for your site first! then buy a domain name for 150 Mafia Coins a year! Then after a little while switch to paypal payouts! And if there are a lot of people playing and buying credits, this can make a nice little earner and you have a lot of fun doing it!

TMC Method #13: How to Make Money Marketing CPA Offers

This guide came from 101WaystoMakeMoney.com. They are a great resource for making money. But don't worry, TMC will bring you the best methods they have got.

With the internet such a large part of our lives today, more and more individuals are looking for opportunities to make money online. While some are doing it to bring in some extra cash, others are looking for full-time careers and are being quite successful with their endeavors. Many are doing this by becoming marketers of CPA opportunities. You, too, can make money marketing CPA offers.

What is CPA?

CPA (no, I don’t mean “certified public accountant”) stands for “Cost Per Action” and it is when someone is paid for an action resulting from a lead. CPA has been around for many years, but has become much more popular in recent years by mainstream marketers that saw the opportunity for profit.

When you’re marketing CPA offers, you don’t necessarily have to sell anything to get paid. For instance, if you’re making up advertisements for a product and a sale is made because of your advertisement, you’ll make money. CPA has become so popular because you can make money without having to actually make the sale yourself. Collecting leads such as names, email addresses and locations is the most effective way of marketing CPA offers. Becoming a marketer for CPA offers is easy, fast and can provide you with a lot of fun and money!

Becoming a CPA Marketer

Becoming an online CPA marketer is not as difficult as one might think. You will need to have either a blog site or quality website set up before you can sign up as a CPA affiliate with a company or a CPA network (many are available on the web). Once you sign up, the companies will check out your site to ensure it meets their requirements.

Once this is done, they’ll contact you either by email or phone to ask you a few questions to make sure you know what becoming a CPA marketer entails as well as what your plans are as far as promoting their product or services.

They’ll want to know that you are aware of the rules and regulations regarding search engine and sale strategies. If you have any questions, this is the time to ask them so you’re well aware of what’s expected of you and what you can expect in terms of sales and money.

Know your Company

I know this is the internet and you can’t be expected to know every company that’s out there but, if you’re planning on being a CPA marketer, you want to make sure they are a legitimate company and will play by the rules and pay you.

Do some research about the company you’re considering working with. Make sure they are what they say and are legitimate. There are many sites where you can check on the legitimacy of internet companies. Do your homework and get reviews on these companies. Only agree to market CPA offers for companies that you’re comfortable working with. Once this is done, you’ll find you’re well on your way to a very promising and successful career as a CPA marketer.

TMC Method #12: How To Make Money Blogging

This method came from a great website called "101WaysToMakeMoney.com". We here at TMC love their content and want to feature our favorite posts.

More and more people are realizing that blogging is one of the best ways to start your own online business. It requires minimal start up costs, you can build an impressive and loyal readership over time and once you know how to monetize your blog it can also bring in a decent income that will keep on coming even on the days when you don’t update your blog.

There are several ways to set up a blog online. You could use WordPress, Blogger, or another free site that hosts your blog for you; or alternatively you can set up your own blog under your own domain name.

If you want to make serious money from blogging, you must have complete control over your blog – and that’s something the free blogging accounts won’t give you. You’ll be bound by their terms and conditions and that usually includes not being able to actively promote anything. There are plenty of people who have established a blog only to have it removed without notice some weeks or months later.

It will cost you a few dollars to buy your domain name and set up a web server that will host your blog, but the benefits will far outweigh the cost involved. It can literally be as little as $20 a year we’re talking about here – and that buys you total freedom.

Once you’re ready to set your blog up you’ll need to choose a good theme and layout for it. You might find one that relates to your choice of subject (more on that in a moment) or else there might be one you just like the look of. But there are thousands of templates available for you to use – a simple search on Google will reveal the ones that will be best suited to your topic.

But perhaps the most important question is what you are going to blog about. The whole world is your oyster here – some people blog about their lives in general; some blog about their jobs; some blog about their hobbies; some tell the world about their kids and what it’s like to be a parent, and still others blog about the weird world of celebrities. But whatever you choose to blog about it needs to be something you are passionate about. Don’t forget, you are going to be writing about this topic several times a week, and if you don’t have the enthusiasm for it, that will show in your posts – and no one else will have the enthusiasm to read them.

Okay – so you’ve got your subject. Now you have to start writing your blog posts. If you take a look at just a few of the blogs already online, you’ll notice that the length of the posts varies a lot. Some people only write a paragraph or two each time, but you’ll get better results if you go for something a little longer than this. Around 400 to 500 words makes for a good post with a lot of information in it; some people write hugely long posts that are thousands of words long and could be called an e-book by another name.

But you can also take the format of this blog, by posting a short blog entry which leads into a longer article. This has the benefit of highlighting a lot of blog posts on the home page of the site, and people can then click through and read the ones they like the most.

You should remember however that there are no real rules when it comes to blogging. Over time you will naturally find what works for you, and your blog will settle down into a nice pattern that both you and your readers will enjoy. You’ll find your character and personality will start to come through in your writing too; don’t fight against this as it is one of the hallmarks of blogging. It is, after all, a personal account of an individual’s life and experiences, so show people what you’re made of! You’ll get a more loyal – and bigger – audience like this.

So you’ve got your blog up and running and you’re posting to it on a regular basis. The next step is to get it in front of as many interested eyeballs as possible.

One great way to do this is to submit it to as many of the social bookmarking sites as possible. You can also join social networking sites and build a profile which contains a link to your blog. Other no cost ways to generate traffic include writing free articles for article directories with a link to your blog at the end, and creating signatures at the end of any posts you make to internet forums, and also in all the emails you send out. When you really start thinking about it, you don’t actually need to spend anything to generate plenty of traffic.

All we need to do now is monetize the blog itself. You’ll want to generate some money from all the visitors you’ll start getting, and there are plenty of ways to do this easily. Google Adsense is probably the most well known method – you can join the program for free and display contextual ads that your visitors will be interested in to maximise your click through rate.

There are also a handful of websites which give you the opportunity to get paid for each blog post you make on a specific subject. Pay Per Post and Review Me are two such examples, and they will pay you a certain amount of money to review a product or website for the owner. In a similar vein you can also review and recommend other people’s products through affiliate links inserted into your blog posts, and earn money on commissions earned through any purchases people make.

And once you’re more established you can offer ad space on your blog too, and charge a fee for both classified and display ads if you wish. What could be better than setting your own price?

But there is one final step you can take with your blog if you enjoy a change of scene every now and again. You can sell your blog! Once it is established and has plenty of revenue and traffic, you can usually sell it for ten times its monthly revenue.

And then, you can start all over again with a whole new subject!

So that’s it – profitable blogging in a nutshell. If you have any questions feel free to leave your comments in the form below. And once you’ve done that, get out there and get started building your first blog today.

TMC Method #9: Full Tilt Poker Affiliate Cashflow Methods (Online/Offline)

WARNING: This is a BlackHat method. Not everyone feels comfortable performing BH methods, but they do work so here it is! It's by Human on TheBotNet!

(I wrote this back in June, but it still works just as well)

FULL TILT POKER

Non-referral Link: http://affiliates.fulltiltpoker.com/affiliates/

A year ago I joined Full Tilt Poker's affiliate program, and made some nice cash through a method that I tried. It's blackhat, basically social manipulation, but it works DAMN well. There's also offline opportunities, once of which I will share.

Join Full Tilt Poker's affiliate program. There's no phone call, there's nothing else involved. Use the CPA method, not the percentage of revenue method.

You'll see on the signup just how much money you can be making.

So, on to the methods:

ONLINE METHOD

Go to Craigslist and make a post for a meetup in whatever city you choose. Choose a section that makes sense. Go to Google and find a hotel close to that area. Download a photo of the hotel and get the address.

Title your post something along the lines of "Poker Tournament! No Cost To Enter, $10,000 Grand Prize!". That will get the traffic.

In the body of the message, make it believable that this place is having a poker tournament. Upload the images of the hotel, and the image of Full Tilt Poker's logo, stating somewhere in the post that they are sponsoring the event.

Tell them to respond if interested, as only 500 people will be welcomed into the weed-out competition to be done online, and only 100 will be invited to attend the tournament.

When they respond, give them a response telling them that they need to sign up to Full Tilt Poker through your link and use their real information to become eligible.

If all goes well and you post in enough cities, you can be looking at a few hundred sign ups. You get close to $100 for each person who loads money, and if only 10% of 300 people load money after signing up, that's $3,000 made through one idea. Wait a month, rinse and repeat in different cities.

OFFLINE METHOD

https://affiliates.fulltiltpoker.com...es/cd-download

Speaks for itself. Make a bunch of CD's, distribute at a local bookstore or casino. Golden.

Enjoy your newfound riches!

TMC Method #8: My Quick 10 Step Tactic To Make An Extra $1,000 Per Month Easily

All I have got to say is WOW! Great guide and it's sure to be a money maker! Maybe not as much as the title says, but it depend on the amount of effort you put in. This piece of art came from The Warrior Forum and was written by BHunter1212. This is truly a great resource for anyone looking to make real money!






For this guide I'll use the example of people having problems with Time Management. Here Are My Steps:

1. Find A Problem (Time Management) That Many People Need A Solution To Immediately.

2. Create A Site With A Title Related To the Niche For The Problem(A Hosted Wordpress Site Works Best, But A Free Blogger Site Can Be Just As Effective With Good Keyword Research.)

3. Research The Problem If You Don't Know The Answer To The Problem. This Can Be Done Very Quickly With A Few Google Searches.

4. Build A Good List Of Solutions To The Issue, Then Make It Into A pdf. In This Particular Niche(Time Management) It Can Be Maybe A List Of 50-100 Ways To Save Time.

5. Name Your Book Something Catchy, Then Create An Ebook Cover. this Can Be Done for Free At eBook Cover Creator - eCover Design Online Free (Not An Affiliate Link)

6. Setup A Paypal account, then Upload The pdf online to either your site, or you can also do this free at Sell eBooks, Files, Downloads, Digital Products with Paypal - UPLOADnSELL.com (Not An Affiliate Link) I Usually Offer These For $5 Per Site.

7. Here Is Where It changes up: Offer The pdf As A Free Download For People Who Donate To Your Site. Say Something Along the Lines: "Buy Me Lunch For The Day And I'll Provide You With My $100 Value Book Only Sold To 25 Readers: ("Insert Title Here") As A Token Of My Appreciation." 

8. Place Your Paypal Link Inside The Donation Box, Then Place It In An Area Of Your Site That Makes It Stick Out Like A Sore Thumb So Every Visitor Is Forced To Notice It.

9. Add A Few Pages Of Content To Your Site. Make Sure The Content Is Related To The Niche And Is Seen As Valuable To Readers. This Could Even Be Duplicate Content, But I Prefer to Use Unique Content Myself So I Can Enjoy Organic Content To The Fullest. Videos And Pics Also Help Distinguish Your Content, And Videos Can Easily Be Made In Windows Movie Maker If You're Camera Shy.

10. Drive Traffic! Try To Get Visitors That Are Actually Interested In The Problem Your Product Offers A Solution To. Doing This It Should Be Fairly Easy To Get Around 200 Sales If You Use It Correctly. Also Submit It To Search Engines so It Gets Indexed Especially If You Do SEO. I Personally Make Around $3,000 Per Site I Use This Technique On Even On Free Sites, But Im Pretty Good At SEO Myself 

Bonus Tip: Find A Clickbank Product That Goes Along With The Niche You Choose And Also Offer It On Your Site As Well As Other Income Streams. a Lot Of Affiliates Even Offer Banners And More To Provide On Your Site. This Way You Don't Just Put All Your Eggs In One Basket, and Can See Cash Coming In From All Directions!

So there you have it. this is what I do when I either need some extra cash fast, or just want to increase profits on one of my sites. So what are you waiting for? You have no excuse to not be making cash at this moment so get started now researching/writing!

TMC Tip #1: SEO

Hey are some great tips from Digital Point about SEO(Search Engine Optimization), It a great resource for anyone who wants to build their fountain of knowledge!


There are a few basic tips to optimize your website for search engines...

• First and foremost, search engines will "like" your website if it has good content. If your webpage looks like spam, modern search engines are smart enough to treat it like spam.
• Do not generate replicated content (within your site or replicated upon multiple sites). All good search engines are smart enough to recognize this (see previous tip).
• Get quality websites to link to you. Search engines will see this, and take notice. Do not use link exchanges, sign guestbooks with links, etc. While it doesn't penalize you (since you can't control what other websites have), it does not help you at all.
• Whatever keywords you are targeting, use them on your pages.
• For the keywords you are targeting, use them within the <TITLE> tags. Search engines look at this a lot, so this is pretty key.
• Use anchor text on links that point to your page with keywords you are targeting (both internal and external sites).
• Along the same lines as the last tip, if you have images that click to pages, use the ALT parameter within the <IMG> tag, and include whatever keywords you are targeting.
• Generally, use common sense and stay away from trying to trick search engines (cloaking tricks for example). It can get your site penalized or even banned from the search engines.
• If you don't want to do search engine optimization on your end, there are some great SEO services out there, just search Google for SEO.

TMC Method #6: Easy Automated $1700/month: A BHer's guide to Exploiting Google Custom Search!

Great guide from MMD. Guide by FightSocialism






Hello All,

I posted this on another forum and it has gotten alot of fanfare...so here it is for my MMD members....

This is a method I read about in the past and adapted it to my own needs. Use your brain when following this guide and I am SURE you can creatively create tons of cash using this little explored facet of Google.

Lets Get Into Some Details...

Background

Google Custom Search has been around since late 2006 and it really didn’t make the huge impact I thought it would in the Search Engine Optimization....That is until it was adapted for my uses  

I figured out that Google Custom Search gave me a brand new way to link together and cross promote my entire network of niche sites, and I thought that was pretty neat. 

But let’s stop for a sec and evaluate three things that make GCS especially useful for us Search Engine Optimization’s and Affiliate Marketers, shall we? 

• GCS engines can be highly targeted, returning extremely relevant results. This means that we can create a GCS that will satisfy the search needs of our site’s users based on their specific interests; and a satisfied user is a loyal user. 

• GCS engines allow us to return results only from the websites we choose. This means that we can set up a GCS to promote only those sites within our network. So if we have a mini-network on home development, our GCS can be set to only return those relevant results from sub-sites within our network. For our mini-network on home development our GCS might return results from sub-sites that provide mortgage offers, information on concrete polishing, or how to select granite countertops. This allows us to cross promote the sites within our network instead of having visitors turn to our competitor for more in-depth information.

• GCS is made to be monetized. You can display your Adsense ads in your search results and thus can make money from the increased impressions when people search within your GCS.

Diggin Deeper

From the standpoint of Search Engine Optimization, GCS is like shooting fish in a barrel because it lets you bypass the usual google.com search completely and in so doing, you bypass your competition! Of course, as I’m sure many of you who have played with Google Custom Search have already seen: your search engine is only as good as the number of viewers you can funnel through it. Meaning, if you have a GCS that only does 20 searches a day then you are really not going to see any tangible benefit to having it setup on your domain.

The hardest thing about making your custom search profitable is getting traffic to it. Often people add GCS to their website as an afterthought. Maybe they just feel like it is a cheap & easy way to provide search functionality and increased accessibility to their users. That is all well and good, but we aren’t just trying to make our site more accessible, we are trying to make some extra money, and this implementation of a Google search is rarely profitable because only a small percentage of your websites visitors will ever use it.

As of this post, I am running a HUGE amount of different GCS engines. I have a GCS engine for every single niche I am involved in. Every time I start a new niche, one of the first things I do after going online is to create a GCS for it. I constantly maintain and update my GCS’ settings and configuration, adding and removing websites from each niche network. This is a lot of work, but depending on the subject matter for each niche, the profit returned from the GCS alone can rival the profit I make on the niches individual websites themselves. 


But still, we face the same problem. My many GCS engines are useless and won’t make a cent unless I am providing them with a sufficient volume of visitors performing searches.

Rather, what we need is a way to take every one of our visitors interested in that given niche and direct their attention towards using nothing else other than our niche’s GCS to find the answers they need. This is where my evil plan unfolds...

The secret here as with all BH is thinking outside of the box. Sure lots of websites offer inline search functionality or something similar to GCS, but how about offering a search-based service outside of a proper website? How about getting people to search for answers in your niche without ever even visiting your website, and without ever even knowing your website exists in the first place?

What I am referring to here are desktop widget platforms like Google Desktop or (my favorite) Windows Vista Sidebar. Even web-top widget platforms like Netvibes, Facebook and more. For the sake of this post, I am going to focus solely on Windows Vista Sidebar. Now I know vista is a bit outdated right now....but use your brain on how to adapt this....(think iPhones, Blackberry, Facebook Groups, Facebook PPC etc etc)

Out of curiosity, I started messing around with was the sidebar widgets. They have made it incredibly simple for people to create and publish their own widgets to the Windows Live Gallery website for other people to download and use. Also, Windows Vista Sidebar widgets can be very lucrative since there aren't many people who have made these sidebar widgets! 

A Vista sidebar widget is comprised of simple HTML and an XML file that acts in many ways like a PAD file does in as much as it identifies your widget and its provenance. If you know how to copy-and-paste and some basic HTML, then you can easily create a desktop widget.

Time to Take the Red Pill

Finding the proper niche is key to doing large search volume. Be SPECIFIC. For example, one of my most high traffic search engines was one that enabled people to interpret their dreams. 

Realizing that people love to know what their dreams mean, I did some brief research and compiled a database of dreams and their meanings. Then I created a website around that database and did all the usual Search Engine Optimization stuff on it, got it indexed and laid in some Adsense ads just for good measure. 

Next, I went to my Google account and set up a custom search engine. The setup interface allows you to target your search engine to a pre-defined list of websites or to have to search the entire web. For my purpose, I made the custom search engine return results from ONLY my website that I had made around the dreams database I compiled. That way, not only do I stand to profit from the ads displayed in the SERPs but since all the SERP results are for pages on my site, I am funneling traffic into my site which in turn shows more of my ads.

After going through all the setup steps, Google spat out the code for me to copy-and-paste into the HTML for my Sidebar Search Widget. 
I am not going to go into detail on how-to create your widgets as it is extremely easy to do and you will be able to figure it out on your own with a little help from a Google search on the topic...

So my little search widget was designed with nice clean interface and a snappy title and then I published it to the Windows Live Gallery website. Within one week, over 1000 people had downloaded my widget to their desktop sidebar. Getting that kind of desktop real estate on peoples computer screens is something that most internet marketers would KILL for. My search box is on their screen every day and it continually sends their requests to my website.

The important part is repeating this process on many different subjects. The more subjects you cover, the more search volume you will pull. The beautiful thing here is the sky is really the limit. If you want to pull in that $50/day I’ve been talking about, then you better be prepared to create a GCS for every niche you are in. And you better be prepared to present each of your GCS’ in a different widget for each platform. Ie: Create one widget for Netvibes, one for Vista, one for Google Desktop, etc, etc. Once you get the hang of it, you will find that you can create a simple template for each platform and then just plug in the different GCS code into each one. The sky is the limit man!


To find new cutting edge content crawl http://www.archive.org/index.php and make a website database easily. You can also utilize Google or Yahoo Trends to get Volcanic ideas for widgets

How about creating a database of Bible verses, and then creating a Bible Study search widget that funnels all searches into that website? How about creating a website of food and drink recipes and making it searchable via a desktop widget?

Ideas, Ideas, and More Ideas....

The databases provided give you an excellent leg-up in creating websites with large amounts of information that are perfectly appropriate for Google Custom Search widgets.

Another Idea I brainstormed is to use Paid Traffic/Paid Semi-Targeted Visitors (I use www.xgcmedia.comfor this) to toss them onto a juicy landing page offering your free widget that does whatever (interpret dreams, daily doggy obedience steps, famous quotes, healthy recipes etc etc use your brain)

Another thing that can be done is paid sign ups...like how some people literally buy sign ups for their offer, for their free ebook to get those people on their email list, for their free software download....these purchased sign ups can be used for your widget download(check the link above for this type of service)

Here are some other widget ideas to get you started:
-Lyrics Search Widget
-Torrent search widget
-Ebooks search widget
-Video Game Cheats Search Widget
-Myspace Layouts Search Widget
-Baby Names Search Widget
-Restaurants Search Widget
-Celebrity Gossip Search Widget
-Product Recalls Search Widget
-Software Search Widget
-Bible Verses Widget

In parting, here some more food for thought for all the BHer's:

Instead of just relying on Adwords for profit, how about a desktop search widget that returns Amazon Books with your Affiliate Link?

Think Think Think Guys! This is where the real money is.

Conclusion

The success or failure of this method, like every money making technique, depends on how much creativity you employ, and how much volume you push. 

Further, the number "1700" is completely arbitrary; it makes for a nice round number and a good title for a post. Truth is, if you are smart and play it right, there's no reason you can't pull in alot more than $1700/day (alot more...think outsourcing...think about how much iPhone widget, Blackberry App World, Crackberry make just from sales of all sorts of widgets like these!). 

On the flip side....If you go about this all half cocked about it you probably won't do nearly as well. So if you are about to gripe and whine about not being able to pull $1700/day (which is pretty easy to do) then take a step back and ask yourself if you really are doing everything right and pushing enough volume.
