So a lot of you guys like to bitch-and-moan about how you never have any money to do stuff online.

Screw you. Seriously.

There is so much you can do to make money online that doesn’t cost you jack. But you’re too busy complaining to notice it.

For instance - getting traffic to your website. People think it cost you money. And you know what? FAST, INSTANT traffic does. But you can also get traffic for free. It just takes a bit longer.

Just check out this video by Aaron Wall over at SEOBook. Sure, he sounds like a complete pansy when he talks, but this guy knows his stuff.

His 10 minute video is all about using social media to get free search engine traffic. And as web 2.0 gets bigger and better, opportunities like this are RIPE for the picking.

The problem is that you just need to work your ASS off creating content for these sites. But if you work smart, this isn’t really an issue.

Here’s a good tip for ya…

Pick out a converting keyword you really want to rank for. Let’s say “Car Insurance” for example. You know - a keyword you can use to make some dough.

Write an article (or get one written) about car insurance.

Go to Squidoo.com and create a lens (web page) optimized for the keyword Car Insurance, and post your article on there, and link back to an affiliate program or something that has to do with Car Insurance.

Then, go bookmark the hell out of this site on places like Digg, Delicious, Furl, Reddit, etc. Ping the lens at Pingomatic.com to alert the search engines about it. Do what good ol’ Aaron does in his video. Get people to link to your lens using the keyword “car insurance.” Watch your stuff rank on the first page of Google and start making some money.

It takes work, but it’s worth the time investment. And it costs you NOTHING.

So if I hear any of you complain again, I’ll have to bitch-slap you.

Later losers,

-RJ
