RAMIT Sethi: I Will Teach You to earn money (In 6 steps)

This guest post is by Michael Alexis, producer of WriterViews.com.



They thought that I cared about making $300 or $500 a month. Honestly, I didn’t give a damn about that.
– Ramit Sethi, iwillteachyoutoberich.com


How many of your readers tell you that you have to monetize your blog? Do they call you crazy when you don’t? After three years of giving away free content, these are the exact comments blogger Ramit Sethi was getting from his readers. So, he surveyed his audience and from the results started developing systems and processes to monetize. After all, when you call your personal finance blog, I Will Teach You To Be Rich (IWTYTBR), you have a lot to live up to.

Ramit Sethi Ramit Sethi, used with permission

Since then, Ramit has leveraged his blog’s popularity to display ads, run profitable courses, and launch a best-selling book. I invited Ramit to do this audio interview to find out exactly how he grew his blog, inspired the kind of readers that begged him to sell to them, and monetized in a way that creates lasting value.

Here, I wanted to explain the specific strategies Ramit used to monetize IWTYTBR, and spans from his earliest trials with display ads, to his recent success with video courses.



If it’s not going to cover my rent, then why do I care?
– Ramit Sethi, on why he doesn’t use display ads any more


Ramit suggests a wholesome approach to making money from blogging, and that means starting by truly understanding the world of monetization. Research the options, try out a few of them, and realize that your first three or four attempts are probably not going to be the level of success you want. Your options include ads, products, speaking, consulting or coaching, and they each have both direct and indirect costs.


For example, despite Ramit’s friends at Google saying all his traffic was going to waste, he didn’t want the negative perception that comes with display ads. When his friends persisted, Ramit decided to survey over 1000 readers and asked if they minded him testing some unobtrusive ads. With 81% of responses being yes, he experimented and found ads only brought in a few hundred dollars every month. So he stopped using them—it just wasn’t interesting money. In Ramit’s words, “If it’s not going to cover my rent, then why do I care?”



I’ve always been a big fan of building value. Giving people 100 times before you even ask them for anything.
– Ramit Sethi, on building relationships with your readers


You know how some people are obsessed with SEO? Or getting the design of their subscription box just right? Or making their “buy now” button orange? Ramit’s obsession is providing so much value to his readers that they keep coming back for more. How do you create value with that kind of gravity? On a personal finance site, value means getting visitors to a post detailing step by step how to call their credit card company (with scripts and everything) that make their fees just melt away.


Ramit says when you show people how to get big results in a short amount of time, they become readers for life. How can you create that kind of value for your readers?



Honestly, that was one of my biggest fear moments in my entire blog career, because I was petrified of charging for content. I thought that people would not pay, and they would think I was selling out. I was legitimately afraid.
– Ramit Sethi, on how it felt to launch his first product


Maybe your first go at monetization will be a course, or an email subscription list, or affiliate links. Ramit did a collaborative ebook with a bunch of other bloggers, got it professionally designed, and called it Ramit’s Guide To Kicking A**. They sold it for $4.95. Sounds okay, right? A few vocal readers didn’t think so, and said things like “Ramit’s jumped the shark” and called him a sell out. Some of those readers even said they’d never come back to his site.


For $5.


Ramit expected to sell 100 copies in the first year. What do you think happened? He sold over 1000. That’s when he realized that people are willing to pay for value, despite the few outliers complaining about everything not being free. Ramit thinks of this as his turning point, “I realized there will always be people that complain and freeload”. Focus on providing great value for your real target audience. The readers who are engaged, willing to invest in themselves, and actively looking for solutions.



When the economy tanked in late 2008, nobody cared about investing. All they wanted to read about was how to save money.
– Ramit Sethi, on why he created a subscription product for money saving tips


Sometimes the information your readers are looking for isn’t what you usually write. Be flexible. Knowing that the world had recession on the mind, Ramit created a 30-day plan to save $1000. On day two the Wall Street Journal and MSN started writing about and linking to his series. With a huge influx of traffic, it was time to monetize.


Ramit’s friend Erica Douglass told him, “just make a subscription program, put it in an email, and have people sign up for one tip a week”. He called it The Scrooge Strategy and sold it for $8 per month. Hundreds of people signed up. What could you be writing about that your audience will pay for?



We collected 50,000 data points. So we know precisely what is holding people back, what is really helping them earn money on the side, and we used some very sophisticated psychological techniques to build a product that’s a leader in its space.
– Ramit Sethi, on how he developed a course about earning more money


Should you price your ebook at $9.99 or $14.99. It doesn’t matter. Make your products extremely detailed, and don’t show them to anybody. Visitors to Ramit’s site can’t even buy a product until they go through an extensive funnel – over twenty five pages. During those pages readers learn to identify a freelancing opportunity and find paying clients. Ramit says “I try to get them to make the cost of the course back before they even see the sales page.”


Another key is being really clear about who you want and don’t want as a customer. That’s right—there can be customers you don’t want. On IWTYTR, those people are the ones whose first question is “how much does this cost?” because they are obsessed with cost and not value. There are even people that Ramit refuses to sell to. He tells potential buyers straight out that if he finds out they have credit card debt he will refund their money, and they won’t be allowed to buy anything else.


Ramit’s ideal customer? Someone who says “show me three others like me who used your techniques to earn more money on the side”. Who is your ideal customer? How can you make your product pay for itself?



If someone came to me and said, ‘here is a really sleazy way to make $25,000?, I would turn it down in a second. If someone came and said, ‘send one email and I will give you $10 million’, I’d think about it. Everyone’s got a number where it gets really difficult.
– Ramit Sethi, on tempting offers


When you run a popular personal finance blog, all kinds of people want to pitch your audience. People selling investment products. People selling income opportunities. Don’t sell out. With IWTYTBR, Ramit isn’t building something that will just make money today, but that will be of incredible value tomorrow, next year, and 10 years from now. When you’ve worked so hard to build a relationship with your readers, there is no price you can put on their trust. Don’t sell out. It’s not worth it.


As we finished the “how to make money” part of our interview, Ramit shared one last thought. He told me “it’s important to think really long term, and think about your values. Do the right thing with your readers. Offer incredible value to your readers, and you will make more money than you can ever imagine.”

Why your Blog is not making money

This guest post is by Moon Hussain of Experiments In Passive Income.


This post comes from the bottom of my heart.  After coming in like a cowgirl blogging newbie and failing with making money online with my blog, I have figured out what lead to my blog bringing in $0.00 most months.  To think I came into the blogging world with a typical “make money online” blog and with the mindset that I’d blow everyone away with loads of affiliate income rolling in was foolish.


Pay close attention, because what I’m about to reveal here has the power to make you a full-time income.  The stuff we both have been dreaming about.  Make notes. I want you to walk away with a plan.


If you don’t think that’s such a bad thing, that’s probably because you are a new blogger, probably less than six months into blogging.  Let me tell you: after a year of providing good content and not making money, you will come to a stop.


Churning out quality content two to three times a week takes a lot of time.  After plugging away for over a year, I can tell you providing quality content is not enough!


It’s only one part of the equation.


If what you are reading right now is bringing you down or you think it’s “too much work”, then stop wasting your money on hosting fees and kill your blog now.  If you want to make money with your blog, it’s about to get good.


I hope you said business plan, I really do.  Instead of lecturing you on how bad you have been by not having a business plan, I’m going to show you with a real, live case study:  my own blog.


In the last year, I never had a business plan for my blog.  Not a written one, anyway.  Here was my thought process over the last year: “I’ll build niche sites, blog about my experiences, I’ll make money from these sites, people love to learn how to make money so they’ll absolutely, feverishly flock to my site!”


Forget an internet entrepreneur … I’d be an internet rockstar!


In my mind, this was the ideal plan that was supposed to take place:



Seem familiar?  Yeah?  In all honesty, you should be scared.


That was my business plan.  Officially one and a half years into blogging, I am in the process of formulating a much more concrete business plan.  And now I cry looking at my old “business plan”.


Blogging about a topic, however passionate you are about the subject, does not make a business.  It is a platform that can help spread your expertise.  You can use it to connect with your ideal customers.  Here are some key questions you need to ask yourself:

How can I take my blog from “just a blog” to a blog that generates me business?What do I know about my blog’s main topic? How can I showcase my expertise about this topic?Why are people reading my blog? (Is it entertainment, education, a particular solution they are looking for)?How can I take the answer from question #3 and answer it with my expertise (question #2)? (Result: a product or service you can serve your audience).

Before you jump the gun, before you can do much with any of the above, you need to figure out the missing pieces.


Let’s backtrack a bit and work through the process…


For me, it happens to be my email list.  I have a super-tiny email list.  My goal is to increase the number of people on my email list and to help them resolve something that I have experience with.


Sure, they say it’s not the amount of people on your email list but the type of people on your list (whether they convert or not) that matters. I agree. But no one can say that having a good number of quality people on your email list is a bad thing.


These people are the ones who want what you may have to offer.  Your work, your services, your expertise, your products!  I know this isn’t a new revelation but stick with me.  Trust me when I say this, I’m ahead of 90% of you…


In case you are one of those stubborn bloggers, read the next few lines carefully.


Name three big bloggers you know.  I pick Darren as one.  How about the other two big bloggers you have picked. Do they have an e-mail list?  You bet your inexperienced butt they do! An email list is how Darren launches super profitable ebooks and courses and leverages his traffic.


If you haven’t picked up on the importance of having your own email list, the rest of this post is useless.


We have backtracked one step. But we have more work to do.  If all of this seems overwhelming, grab a piece of paper and pencil.  I guarantee you will have a comprehensive plan before you leave this page!


The so-called “blogosphere” has evolved and people (smart ones, that is!) are no longer willing to give up their email addresses just because you asked.  No sir!  The only way you’re about to get those email addresses is if you have something people want.


For example, if by the end of this post I have helped you by constructing a cohesive business plan for your blog, you’ll want to read more of my content. Because I helped you. Because you liked what I had to say. Because you want more.


And if you haven’t noticed, it’s not just one guest post I’ll be publishing to build my email list.  You should be seeing me around.  In other words, after you create a free report, you need to find big hubs where your ideal customers are hanging out!


Create a list of five big sites and blogs where your readers are.  Expose yourself (*ahem* with your unique posts) multiple times.


I’m doing the exact same thing right now.  I am exposing my content to new readers who don’t know me.  If you have “kind of seen me around”, then the more I expose my work, the more chances I’ll have of getting your attention.


It’s how all of the big bloggers roll; you just weren’t paying attention or think that your blog will surely take off after one of your posts “go viral”.  Hah!


What I’m discussing with you took me a year to figure out.  Ignorance isn’t bliss, apparently.  Here I have my sexy, newly defined business plan:



You can bet my plan is even more specific than this.  It may seem exhausting but this is precisely what you need.  In fact, I have goals written down for how many people will join my list in June, July, and August, and how much money I expect to earn in each one of these months.  I’m also in the process of designing my survey and constructing my consultation reports.


Before you leave, answer the following questions and construct at least a rough diagram of your business plan:

Do you have an email list?Do you necessarily need to grow your email list? If so, how exactly will you do that?  How many guest posts?  Start writing down guest post ideas.What kind of service or product do you want to offer?  What would you be excited to provide people with?Survey your growing email list.Can you come up with a service, membership site, or ebook that you have experience with?

Write down your answers.  Get super specific.  No one else can do this for you.  If you don’t do this, your blog is dead.


After you write down your answers, you need to create and stick with a plan.  Remember, if you want to earn an income from your blog, you need to treat it like a business and must have some sort of business plan.


Would you rather create your own detailed business plan for your blog … or leave it to lady luck to make your content go viral?  (By the way, in case you didn’t know, viral traffic like Stumbleupon doesn’t convert and sucks.  Sure, it’ll make you feel cool for a day or two but that’s about it!)


I would love to hear your business plans in the comments section. Bring it!

How to earn money Online for free in this recession

First And Foremost ... If you want to become successful online then you must start here to begin your trip. Then if you are looking to take that success and to filter it to other sites that make money and then I got something incredible for you.

You can see the world is looking to Learn how to earn money online. If you do a Google search then you will find so many things about making money online, your head will spin. For now only contempt crap unless you want to run around it like a chicken with your head cut off.

These programs cost hundreds of dollars and most of them don't even come with one on one help. So, I was capable of having any success with them is like slim to none. But I'm here to hopefully save the day and may be on the road to the thousands of dollars online exactly like me and the rest of the top marketers out there.

The myth

Most people are the monkey see monkey type people and just follow what is hot right now. If someone says that the sale "How to train a dog" program is warm, the more likely you are attempting to sell crap. This is what many people on the Internet hunts and why 95% of you will never make a mind-Veles online.

People think that you always have to promote so called ' "how to make money Online" programs to make a buck online. Frankly it is not my friend, you can make money by selling the craziest crazy products online. To be able to earn money online you should just have something people are interested in and get in front of them using seo services that will help you rank this site for any given top keyword.

So your job is to try to promote something people are willing and ready to buy, not the things that most people telling you for years to promote the site as an ebook or participation. You can make money online free on this recession if you can tap into the right market.

I'm about to reveal a strategy that you may or may not know, but something to do for years and has only a thousand years from now. So no longer wait no longer ...Here's how to start living the dream of life.

Money in the city

The first way to bring more income is to roam the city and look for the demands of the Ruff. What I mean about this is to look at companies and see what they sell, and if people are interested in these items. For example here in my town I found a company that sold the garden chairs and swings that hang from trees and many other products "country living".

Now this company has been around for over 70 years and never had a Web site. Asked by owners who are children of the original owners who are much older in age. They said that my own a seo company and would like to create a Web site so I can buy their products for prices good whole sale and resale of the retail price to make money quickly and won from competitions.

I replied that I already got my research for the first two products sale and found that more than 3 k people searching for these items every month. I would like to not only make a site for these products, but also in their online marketplace to help their profits.

Finally I explained them how much money you can make and how quickly we can get to the first page of Google for targeted keywords for disbanded. I replied as soon as I receive orders and then we will contact them and place your order and let us do all the shipping. And so all I need to do is market the site collects the money and my bottom line growing.

The change of income down

Chairs Garden was released with a price for $ 189 but said he had to go to the entire sale price of $ 119 to make a good profit between. Then the outdoor swings retailed for $ 299, I whole sale price $ 209, so you can see a great performance in marketing to me also. So then when this happened and we have signed our contract agreement, have started making the site and in the ranking.

Once the site hit the first page of Google and met the number one spot, after the release and sales began to come. I'm averaging about 23 sales from the Chairmen of the garden and an average of around 34 disposals from the outdoor swings per month. So, your key on average approximately 1,400 k a month with the garden chairs, and approximately 3,000 k plus per month for the custom swing sets.

This is about $ 4,500 per month only by communicating with a small company that manufactures outdoor equipment. What I did was give you an easy way to find good things in promoting that is offline. You did not always employ electronic products to make a buck, you can browse the newspapers and local yellow pages, to see what is available out there that you can make money with.

Here is your may secrete a are not known, the people who will look for physical items will buy easier then someone looking for an e-Book. The reason for this is that these people are ready to spend money now in relation to a person who is looking for an eBook or something you can find free through research.

Try

Today is the day invitation to five companies, and you can see if you are interested in recent leykwmatos with you. If someone does not then move to the next person, sooner or later you will have ten or more specialized sites you work day and night. Now that says I can't make money online free of charge by the recession?
