I’m going to start out by showing you how you can earn your first $100 on the Internet today. In fact I’ll show you some screen shots of exactly what I did, to earn that much in just 37 minutes. The system I’m going to show you is very very simple, and you can always use it to pick up some extra cash, but it is NOT the best way to build a recurring income.
In some ways I feel I need to make a disclaimer. I feel that way because I don’t want you to feel “tricked” or hoodwinked in any way. This first exercise is designed to do two things.
To get your first $100 or more from the Internet today..
More importantly to show you that there are MILLIONS of people on the net every minute of every day looking for things that YOU can provide for them.
Then we’ll move on from there to explore some possible ways you can leverage that into a potentially HUGE ongoing income.
So now with that disclaimer out of the way… let’s see how to make a hundred bucks TODAY, and how I did it in 37 minutes.
The secret???? (Drum Roll Please…………………………………)
It’s no secret at all. I want you to look around the house and find something you really don’t need any more, and sell it on Craig’s list.
OK…. I told you it was simple, and once again I want to remind you that there’s a purpose to this simple exercise.
GETTING YOUR FIRST $100 FROM THE INTERNET IS HUGE!
Page 7
If I can help you do that, then I can also help you to go on to create an ongoing income of whatever size you want. So work with me here OK? There’s a purpose here, and that is to demonstrate in a very tangible way that there are MILLIONS of people who are looking for something that YOU can offer each and every second of every day.
If you decide to move forward, there are many other ways to make money on the net, and I’m going to show you one of the easiest and cheapest ways to do it, but that first $100 is a huge milestone.
So I wanted to come up with an example that I could show you….
I did exactly what I’m recommending to you. I looked around, and found an old laptop computer. I had bought it at one time to carry with me in the car all the time, so at any time, using my wireless card I could log into some of the servers I was managing if they had any kind of a problem. But the problem for me was that the screen was so darned small it was hard for me to read it, so it basically just sat on the shelf hardly used at all.
So here’s the basic ad that I ran on Craigslist:
“This laptop works perfectly. I wanted something small and lightweight to carry on trips, but my old eyes are just too weak and I need a bigger screen.
It's a steal at $100. Carrying case included. 533 XXXX”
That’s all there was to it. I included a photo of the computer and posted it on my local Craigslist. Almost immediately I had a phone call from a lady who was very excited.
Page 8
She was close to me, but didn’t have transportation, so I took it over to her, and within 37 minutes I had a hundred dollar bill in my pocket that I’d received for an item I wasn’t Using. It was just taking up space.
Now it’s your turn.
I want you to do the same thing. Look around the house for something you don’t need anymore and put it onto Craig’s list.
I’ve sold items like computer parts, cameras, old computers, a fishing boat ALL within a day of the time that I put up the ads. We’ll be exploring other potentials too, but before you go there, please let’s get that first $100 or more in your pocket.
Step 1: go to http://craigslist.org
Step 2: Select your city from the list on the right hand side of the screen.
Page 9
Step 3: Click on the “post to classifieds” link in the upper left hand side.
Next you’ll be led to a screen where you select the category…. Since we’re selling an item here, we’ll select “for sale”.
We have other categories too like, “job offered, resume/job wanted, housing offered, housing wanted, item wanted, gig offered, service offered, personal/romance, community, or event.”
After we’ve selected the “for sale” link we’re given lots of options….. in my case I chose
“computers and tech.”
Page 10
Always add an image when you’re selling on Craigslist…. It’s powerful and easy. When you click on the Add/Edit images, you’ll be able to browse your computer for the image you want to add…..
Then just click on continue and follow directions…. That’s ALL you need to do to collect at least $100 off the internet today!
But please do this…. And at the risk of repeating myself again, I wanted to take you through this first for two reasons.
I want to show you how many people are searching the net at any given time for something that YOU can sell to them.
Making that FIRST sale on the Internet is important. Now you can move on and create a self generating real income on the Internet.
Now let’s move on!

How To Make a Very Good Living by
GIVING THINGS AWAY Online!
Ok… I hope you didn’t skip over that first exercise to generate your first $100 from the Internet. From here on I’m going to show you a very simple system you can use to make a continuing, ONGOING income whether you’re working on your next project, sleeping, or traveling around the world enjoying life.
My goal for you is that I can help you to stop depending on somebody else for your income. It’s just too risky!
I want to help YOU to get out of the Rat Race that I was in. I want to help you to build some simple reproducible things that can generate ongoing income for you, whether you work or not.
I will show you how you can create your own little branded ebooks which can be branded, downloaded and ready to go in less than 5 minutes. They will then go forth and create an automatic and recurring income for you for years to come. Don’t worry if you don’t understand what a branded ebook is, I’ll be showing you that a little later.
BIG IDEA #1
The real secret is not JUST to work for yourself, but it’s to be able to build individual sources of income that work for you whether you’re working at Page 12
your desk, or on a cruise like I am right now. I travel a lot, and almost always come back from a vacation, a cruise, or a business conference with more money in the bank than there was when I left.
Here’s a basic concept that you fully need to understand…..
As long as you are being paid directly from your efforts you’ll never get rich.
It doesn’t make any difference if you’re a brick layer, a doctor, attorney or whatever…. You are limited by the amount of TIME that you can sell in a day. We call it “trading hours for dollars”.
All wealthy people have made their money through multiplication. That is that they hired a lot of employees, they created investments, perhaps real estate, books, or SOMETHING else that generates income for them whether they work or not. That is a very basic concept that you MUST
understand.
That’s PASSIVE income, and that’s what we’re going to explain in this book. I’m going to teach you how to build passive money making robots that work for you 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
That is freedom.
That’s what life was meant to be!
My hope for you is that by following the steps in this book you’ll be able to Page 13
build a solid residual income. I want to see you build the kind of security that allows you to travel when and where you want, to live in the house of your dreams, and to just plain enjoy life.
Throughout this book, you’ll see this icon.
When you do, it is a reminder that this particular subject or idea is of MAJOR importance.
Please be sure that you understand it thoroughly.

Make money by giving away ebooks!
Did you know that you can make money online, by simply giving away ebooks? That doesn't make sense, does it? But many people have made a lot of money in this way.
I met a young home-school mom who first introduced me to this concept.
She was making a VERY good income, by giving away ebooks. When I say a VERY good income, I mean just that! More than most doctors or lawyers… and she was doing it from her home office, while home -
schooling her children.
In the first part of this manual, I’m going to be showing you mainly how you can generate income by giving away THIS ebook. In the second part of the manual, we’ll show you how to create your OWN ebook to market almost any product you want.
It's called viral marketing….
Viral Marketing you say? What in the world
is Viral Marketing?
Well viral marketing is certainly nothing new…
It’s the OLDEST form of advertising ever devised.
Page 15
No… you don’t sell germs!
You may know it as word-of-mouth advertising. It’s the most effective form of marketing that you can ever use, and it’s FREE.
You do this all the time, maybe without even thinking about it.
I’m reminded about an incident, where I was in an airport shuttle telling some people about the GREAT breakfast I’d had that morning at Dave’s Diner and Brew just on the south edge of the Seattle Tacoma Airport. (It really IS great). I didn’t tell them that it’s owned by my brother!
Let’s say you decide to try Dave’s restaurant, and you find that the food is something right out of heaven. The service makes you feel like a VIP.
You'll tell your friends about it, won't you? If they like it, they'll tell other people about it, and they'll tell others, and so on.
Word about the restaurant spreads simply from people telling others about it.
Here’s another example:
What do you do after you’ve just seen a movie that you absolutely love?
What do you do when you go to work the next morning? You can’t wait to Page 16
tell your friends and co-workers about it. It’s human nature to share things that they like.
That’s all there is to Viral Marketing…. It’s just passing on the message, or in our case an ebook, from one person to another.
Selling products through viral ebooks is a powerful technique that can make you a LOT of money. I’m going to teach you how to “help” the process along.
Here’s the whole process, step by step.
How do you get started in Viral Ebook Marketing? Later we’ll talk about various ways you can (and SHOULD) use your OWN ebooks, and I’ll give you sources to get some pre-made ones that you can easily modify.
Step 1 You change THIS ebook around slightly so that YOU can make money every time somebody buys one of the recommended products. You use a very simple online software program to make this happen. I’ll show you exactly how to do that in just a little bit.
To start out with, you register with various merchants as an “affiliate”.
When you do that, they give you a special link called an “affiliate link”. Any time somebody clicks on that special link to go to the merchant’s site, you get paid a commission. You don’t have to deliver the product… they do all Page 17
of that. All you do is send people to their site, and you get paid. Pretty slick right? No inventory to handle, virtually NO expenses, just collect money.
I’ll take you to a special form online where you can sign up as an affiliate for the products recommended in this ebook, and then insert your affiliate links.
It’s all done online and it’s very simple.
The software inserts your special hyperlinks throughout the book. Whenever someone goes to that link and buys the product you’re recommending, you will receive a commission!
Ka-Ching!
Inserting your own links into the ebook is called “branding” the ebook.
Relax, I’ll show you exactly how to do that… so don’t worry about it. If you can use a word processor you can do this. You won’t need to install any software, it’s all done online. If you can fill in a simple online form you can do this.
Step 2 You give the ebook to everyone you can. Call up your friends and relatives…. Give it out to everyone you know.
Later in the book I’ll show you ways that you can easily find thousands of new people to pass it out to every week. Many of these sources are FREE!
Step 3 You collect commission checks when people buy from YOUR
affiliate links that you branded into the ebook if they don’t brand the ebook.
Page 18
Ka-Ching!
Step 4 Create your OWN viral ebook and repeat the process on your own.
I’ll show you where to get the materials for your ebooks and how to modify them to make them YOURS. You can complete the entire process in a day.
You can either write your OWN ebook, or have one written for you.
I’m going to show you how to get THOUSANDS of ebooks that are already written and done on virtually any subject. You can legally modify them as much or as little as you want, you can add your own name as author, and then publish them through my system as your OWN brandable ebook. So don’t you dare drop out because you think you can’t write an ebook!
Step 5 You set up your ebook so that OTHER people will be able to brand it with THEIR affiliate links. They could then be marketing YOUR offers.
The Easy Money Bots software makes this very easy. You sell them branding rights to it, which gives them access to the web page where they can set up their links and download their OWN branded ebook.
There have been other branding programs in the past, but for the end user, those programs were very cumbersome. That chases away potential people who might otherwise work with you. You must make it as simple as possible for your Customers, and Easy Money Bots makes it a “falling off
a log” easy process.
Page 19
Step 6 You then offer “branding rights” to “your” ebook to other people that you’ve given it to and to the many others who get the ebook from someone else. Then people can put THEIR affiliate links into YOUR ebook.
So for example, if you give out your ebook to someone and they decided to buy branding rights for it they will pay you for the rights to brand the ebook. I suggest $37. If only ten people brand it for themselves, you’ve made $370
assuming that you sell branding rights for $37!
Ka-Ching!
But it gets better. MUCH better.
When you sell branding rights to someone, you get paid EVERY time someone Brands the ebook.
HERE IS THE REAL POWER IN THIS SYSTEM. PLEASE BE SURE YOU
UNDERSTAND THIS THOROUGHLY, IT CAN MAKE YOU RICH!!!
This might be confusing, let’s look at this in a little greater detail. Let’s say you give YOUR ebook to 10 people. Each of them only gives it to 2. Each of them only gives it to 2 etc.
Look how that can quickly grow to a huge amount.
Page 20
10
20
40
80
160
320
640
Total 1270
So if only two people passed the ebook out, in SEVEN levels you could have over 1200 people branding the ebook. Assuming that you’ve charged $37 for branding rights, away the ebook, that leaves you with a potential profit of $46,990.
Do you see the value of those branding rights? YOU get paid from everyone branding your ebook no matter who passes it out. They get affiliate income from everything else, but YOU collect the money for the branding rights no matter how many levels deep you go.
Now of COURSE not every level will double perfectly! Not everyone will want to brand and pass out the ebook.… some might be more, some might be less. Much of it depends on the quality of the information you provide, but the bottom line is that you’re building an ASSET (the ebook) that will create money for you whether you’re working or not. It works FOR
YOU 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
Page 21
THAT IS HOW THE BIG MONEY IS MADE BY GIVING AWAY EBOOKS!!
The people who read your ebook give your ebook to their friends, who can also brand it so that THEY can make money on it, and they send it out to their friends.
You make money on the entire network of people reading the ebook. While they can collect affiliate incomes from their own efforts, you collect income from branding rights from EVERYONE.
This is called viral marketing, because it is spread from one person to another much like a virus is spread. By being spread like that, just like a virus, the ebook spreads to dozens, hundreds, even thousands of people.
So, obviously viral marketing can be a powerful tool.
Once again, of course this perfect progression will never happen in reality.
Some people will never pass it around, others will pass it around to many more than 2 people…
But what I want to do here is to show you the POWER of viral marketing.
Inside the word power is the word POW! Don’t take this lightly! People have become millionaires this way.
Page 22
Take a lesson from the newspapers.
When newspapers talk to potential advertisers, they always like to talk about readership numbers, not circulation numbers.
Why?
The theory is that on an average each newspaper will be read by two or three different people per household. That is EXACTLY what would happen with your ebook.
It gets spread out to thousands of additional readers. So now that we’ve talked about getting enough eyeballs in front of the ebook, the question is…
How can you make M-O-N-E-Y from it?

More on Affiliate Marketing
I’ve already talked a little bit about Affiliate Marketing, and also Branding Rights, but let’s go into that in a little more detail. The chances are very good that you may have already tried affiliate marketing, but for the sake of those who are not familiar with this system, it’s an amazingly easy and inexpensive way to earn money.
The premise is simple.
You send a customer to a merchant’s website. If that customer buys from that merchant, you get a commission. That commission can range from 2%
or 3% to 75% and even some times as much as 100% of the sale.
The merchant uses special software on their website.
You are assigned a special URL that includes some kind of tracking code, so that every time somebody comes to the merchant through YOUR link, they know that the prospect came from you. If they buy, the merchant pays YOU a commission for the sale.
As you’ll see in this ebook, we’ll have several different links to products that we recommend that can be used to help you get free or very low cost advertising, or software that might help you or any number of opportunities for you to make money.
Page 24
Brand this ebook, and it becomes your viral money making machine!!!
When you BRAND this ebook, what you’re really doing is removing OUR
affiliate links, and inserting YOURS instead!
As stated above, you can reach a large audience with a well written and popular ebook.
Let’s say for example that 5,000 people are reading the ebook. How many of them do you think would click on a link that makes YOU money? If they are targeted to the subject matter of your ebook, (and they wouldn’t be reading if they weren’t) probably quite a few of them.
Think of the potential here. You don’t even need to have a website of your own! I’m going to show you very shortly how you can “brand” the ebook so that the product provider’s website now becomes YOUR website.
Again, you won’t even need a website or hosting for the ebook. That’s all done by the Easy Money Bots system.… That way the people you want to give the book to will be able to download it immediately.
It would take you less than a half hour to sign up for all the affiliate programs that we recommend in this ebook, enter them into the special Page 25
