Project Quick Cash - This is my personal review of Alok Jain's latest ebook.

Some info about the author, first…

Alok is from India and he has also written: "Viral Profit Machine", "Two Minute Profits" and "Silent Profit Machine". I have them all and they were all very helpful. Project Quick Cash is about 5 very specific methods of making money which can be implemented quickly.

And "Quick Cash" is something almost every Internet marketer wants, although in most cases, I personally prefer methods which will build you a solid business like described in my own ebook called "Revenue Blueprint".

What is Project Quick Cash all about? Is it really revolutionary or have we seen it all before?

I will be describing the techniques so you can decide for yourself if these techniques are for you or not.

Method #1 "Cashing The Spike - Part 1"

This Project Quick Cash technique is being used to cash in on current trends and events and can bring you a lot of very targeted visitors quickly. It makes use of a resource that I hadn't known about before. But now that I know about it, I will be watching it very closely myself.

The trends which you can discover there, can be monetized with affiliate programs. I really like this method because just like Alok's ebook title promises: It's quick and easy to implement.

Method #2 "Cashing The Spike - Part 2"

It's almost done in a similar way like in part 1 with the main difference being that the monetization is done via Google Adsense. It is dependent on the niche which you choose whether it's better to use affiliate programs or Adsense.

Both parts have a lot of potential and I will be using them myself very soon.

Method #3 "Underground Niche Profits"

The method which is explained in "Underground Niche Profits" is very similar to the techniques described in George Katsoudas' "Hybrid Traffic System". But it's not as comprehensive as George's ebook and doesn't make use of the twist George is revealing.

Therefore, the uniqueness factor is not very high but nevertheless it IS a very effective technique if used correctly. Alok explains exactly what kind of forums to target and how to find the best niches to get into in order to maximize your return on investment (ROI).

Method #4 - "Super Placement Targeting"

This technique is one which I had actually read about in a report which I bought as a WSO (Warrior Special Offer). It's about using Adwords to get clicks for as low as $0.01 per click. Initially, I never thought that getting clicks for such a low CPC was possible but after reading the WSO report and now Alok's ebook, I've actually tested it myself and I can say: Yes, it can be done!

You should not be using this method in Internet marketing related niches because it probably won't work. Most likely, the click costs will be much higher there. But for other niches, this method is perfect to get very low cost clicks but highly targeted traffic, nonetheless.

Technique #5 - "Leeching On A Launch"

This is a good technique and I have seen quite a few marketers make use of this. It's a very specific way of profiting from a big launch within the Internet marketing arena and it can make you from several hundreds to several thousands of dollars from the launch day to about 1-2 weeks after.

The technique doesn't require you to have any technical skills at all and it can be implemented within 5-10 minutes depending on how experienced you are with the set up of new domains.

Cost of implementation: About $9 for a domain registration…!

Conclusion:

The title of the ebook really doesn't promise too much. These are "Quick Cash" methods which can be implemented in a few hours, some even in a few minutes. I knew about 3 of the techniques already but nevertheless, the explanations were very well written and they've actually enhanced the knowledge which I already had about them.

Who can profit from this ebook?

Newbie and intermediate Internet marketers can definitely profit from the content which is included in Project Quick Cash. But it supposes that you are at least familiar with using Adwords, implementing Adsense and integrating affiliate program links. If you have never done these things before, it could be quite difficult to put these things into practice.

But just like I did with Google Payload, I am going to give you bonuses, which will help you to understand the presupposed basics and from there, you can go on and actually implement the techniques Alok describes.

There are different reasons why many people (some say as much as 80-90% of all "marketers" or at least people who are trying it) aren't making much money online. I've picked the ones which are most obvious and which should give you some food for thought if you belong into that category of non-successful marketers as well.

They are ordered from least important to most important…

Reason 10: No technical knowhow.

Some people never start because they don't know any HTML or they don't know how to edit PHP or JavaScript. What a lame excuse is that? You can outsource almost anything and if you know nothing about building a website, then hire someone to do it for you. You can go to freelancer sites like Elance.com or ScriptLance.com and people from all over the world will get the work done for you. You just tell them what you have in mind and they are designing the site or adding some scripts to it. Then you only have to give them the text which should be put online and maybe some pictures.

It's better to learn how to do it yourself though. Web Editors have been created so you don't have to deal with all the HTML coding. Basically, if you can use Microsoft Word, you'll be able to use a web editor, too. You just need to learn some basics about e.g. FrontPage or Dreamweaver or for us Internet marketers, the best choice is Xsite Pro because it is a content management system and it's easier to make changes to a complex site. If you have no money for these tools, then wait for your next birthday or for Christmas and put it on your wish list. Where there's a will, there's a way!

Reason 9: No knowledge about the basics.

If you don't know what Clickbank is or how to insert a Paypal button into a salespage, that's something you need to work on first. Also, you need to know what kind of strategy you want to use in the sales process. Do you want to have a one time offer? Will you have a backend product in place? Will you be offering resell rights or have an affiliate program? Do you have an autoresponder series in place? What is an autoresponder in the first place…?

These are all questions that will come up once you start selling your first product. Be sure you are prepared to answer them when the time has come. Learn the basics before anything else. It will be much easier for you to generate an income on the Internet once you are ready and you feel you have the right idea for a business.

Reason 8: No contact details.

I don't know about you but if I come to a page where a product is being offered and there is not a single detail given about the person who is selling it, I am not buying (I could look up the details in the whois database but that's a different story - they could have protected their personal details).

Moreover, if there's not even a possibility to contact the product owner, it gets even worse. Because what should I do if something goes wrong with the product delivery? Things like these just happen all the time and if I can't reach anyone, they have lost my purchase.

So whenever you are selling something online, be sure to add your personal details. At a bare minimum, your physical mailing address and a way to contact you either per email or via a contact form. In times of spam, a contact form is completely okay. Add a picture of yourself so your visitors get to know you. You need to build trust and this is very difficult online as there are many scammers out there. You need to differentiate yourself from them.

Reason 7: No money back guarantee.

If you are not confident in your products, you probably won't like to add a money back guarantee in fear of people taking advantage of it. But let me tell you, the additional sales you're making from having a guarantee on your salesletter will by far outweigh the lost sales from a few serial refunders (people who are buying a product and ask for a refund a few hours later even though they can't have tried anything that's explained within the product).

But if you're getting a lot of refunds when offering a money back guarantee, you should ask yourself if the quality of the product is high enough. If not, dump the product or improve it. You certainly don't want to be associated with crappy products. Customer satisfaction should be one of your main concerns. You are nothing without your customers and you won't have a business if you neglect them!

Reason 6: No vision.

Ask yourself where you want to be in 2 or 3 years. What do you want to have achieved by then? Write down the steps which are needed to get there. Set achievable goals and list short term goals for each working day of your week. Basically, this is known as a to-do list. You need to write down what you want to get done or it won't get done at all. Believe me, I've been there…!

Without proper time management, which goes alongside with having a vision in place, you won't achieve anything. Don't let yourself get distracted or sidetracked and be focused on achieving that vision (e.g. you want to have a niche site "empire" of at least 25 sites and each of them should be making $500 per month at a bare minumum). Plan your days so you can achieve your vision. Set targets. When you're jumping from opportunity to opportunity, you won't have a business. Use mind mapping tools and join Simpleology to learn more about how to properly plan these things.

Reason 5: Very little traffic.

If your visitor counter is getting rusty, you definitely need to learn about driving traffic to your websites. A lot of marketers don't have any problems putting together a great product but then they get stuck with this traffic thing. There are several time tested methods for getting traffic (I've been using several of them since 2001 when I was starting out e.g. article marketing and JV marketing).

If you don't want to do this yourself like finding JV partners and sending them an email or even a postcard, then hire someone to do it for you (basically, you hire a JV broker). Some of them won't even get paid until they have gotten results for you (for example if they are getting a percentage share of what the recruited JV partners are selling). Use viral marketing by giving away or selling reports. Get creative!

Reason 4: Crappy web design.

How do you expect to make sales if your web design is completely confusing and you have thousands of different links on one page? Or if your page looks like your 10 year old nephew designed it? You need to have a structure on your page that ultimately leads either to an opt-in or to your salesletter. Everything else is nice but doesn't make you any money (apart from contextual advertising where you get paid per click or action - see Adsense or Azoogle).

Your website also needs to build trust so having your personal details and probably a picture of yourself on the page is not only recommended, in my opinion it is almost mandatory!

Reason 3: Not building a list.

You've heard it a thousand times - not only from me but from everyone who's been making money online for a while. Without a list, you're never going to be very successful. Or at least, you're leaving lots and lots of money on the table. This is why building your list has to be a main focus in everything you do.

Your income will very highly depend on the size of your list and moreover on the RESPONSIVENESS of your list. If you don't build a relationship with your subscribers, it will be hard to make a lot of sales, either. Do everything you can to give your subscribers value, something they can use in their own business to improve their sales or what can help them solve their problems. You need to become the problem solver (your products could be the solutions they are looking for), the person they will go to if they can't get something done on their own.

Reason 2: A poor product.

Are you trying to sell a product that no one wants…? You need to find out what people want and then create a product around it. Not by creating the product first and then finding the customers. Moreover, the product should be as unique as possible (see my PromoBuddy or my AffiliateTurbo softwares for example - both products have made me thousands and thousands of dollars).

You can find out what they want by doing surveys (if you have a list, you can send them directly to a survey page). If you don't have a list, use Adwords to drive targeted traffic to a squeeze page or to the survey page (it's a little harder to get answers from people who don't know you, yet). It could be a question like "What is your biggest challenge in… (niche)?"

If you have enough traffic and you're not selling anything (and you have corrected the other reasons for failure online from this article) then ask yourself if the product is good enough. Do this especially if you're not getting any testimonials or positive feedback about it.

Reason 1: Not taking action.

Here it is, black on white… the most important reason why people are not successful online! If you're not putting the strategies into action that you've read about, you can't make any money. It's as easy as that!

Maybe, you've never even started. Or if you have started, how do you expect to make money if you try a little bit here and a little bit there but you generally lack a vision for your business and you're not doing the things needed to move forward? What do you want to achieve? Why do so many people want to make a start in the Internet marketing "arena" when they don't have any knowledge or experience within that area…?

Many people who want to make money on the net are just thinking in terms of quick money. Where can I make a quick buck…? That's all they want and it is why the biz opp type of sites get so many people sucked in. Often, not the products are what's being promoted but the dream. A dream that you can make money in your underwear even for people who know squat about the Internet or who barely know how to copy and paste a piece of text.

Let me tell you from personal experience: This is crap… Everyone who is telling you that you don't have to do any work or don't need to know any basics is lying to you! Internet marketing is WORK! Once the ground work is done, it gets easier and yes, you can send out an email to your list and make several thousands from it. But…

… Get the basics of selling online right, first. THEN you can think about what people need and how you can create a product that people want to buy. Great products can even be sold with crappy salesletters (so if you are not getting enough conversions, try improving your salesletter, first).

You'll learn best by doing. Instead of buying another dozen ebooks, get dirty and finally start building that first website. Even if it is just for testing purposes. Buy a private label resell rights product (see further down), register a domain name, edit the salesletter a bit so it's personalized with your own details, create a download page, add a payment button and let your friends or relatives make some test purchases. Make a start.

SUBSCRIBER QUESTIONS PART 7
————————————

1. Get a personalized website and how much does it cost?

2. Know the best product to sell and how to promote it?

3. Get people to my site that are interested in my product?

Connie

ANSWERS:
————-

1. How Do I get a personalized website and how much does it cost?

I guess with personalized website you mean your own custom design. I cannot give a general price for something like that. It depends on the web designer and his abilities as well as his experience. Usually, you can get a 5 page website design starting at $100 I would say. You need to go to freelancer sites like Scriptlance.com or Elance.com and put up a project there. Then designers from all over the world will be bidding on your project and you can choose the one with the best feedback or simply the one which charges the lowest amount of money. You also need to take the domain registration ($9) and website hosting into account (starting at around $5.95/month).

2. How do I know what the best product to sell is and how do I promote it?

If that question were so easy to answer all people with websites would be rich. There is no such product as "the best product" to sell. It depends on the market you are in and on the relationship you are building with your potential customers. You cannot expect that people who have never visited your site before will be buying on their first visit. That"s why it"s so crucial to capture email addresses. Without getting their email addresses, you basically have one shot and that is it. Most visitors will never return to your website even if they"ve bookmarked it…

The best KIND of products usually are unique digital products and membership sites. They offer the highest ROI (return on investment) and are usually also the most attractive ones for starting your own affiliate program.

3. How do I get people to my site that are interested in my product?

Please read my articles about targeted traffic generation as I have answered this question more than once in my articles:

Again and again people are asking me how they (newbies in most cases) can make a full time income on the Internet in the quickest way possible (and of course, it should cost next to nothing…). There is not just one answer to this question and usually I would say that there is no such thing as a "get rich quick formula". Just like in the real world, building a profitable business takes time. It cannot be done overnight.

The weird thing is that many newbies have read about the individual steps already but they never got active. If you're not acting on what you are reading and are looking for a one step push-button solution then you better search for something else to do because Internet marketing is only for those who keep trying new things (==> test and track) , who educate themselves and take action!

Since I want to help you where I can, I thought, I'd try to give my best answer to you as if I were explaining the whole process to a friend. And in fact, many of my subscribers have really become my friends

So how do you get started?

Although using Google Adwords is one of the quickest ways to get traffic and make sales, I would not recommend this to you if you are a complete newbie as you wouldn't have the expertise to do proper keyword research or write good ads which could get a high clickthrough rate. Moreover, I think the problems would already start with the creation of the landing pages if you're really starting out with zero knowledge.

There are a lot of ways how you can make money online but I will try to explain the one which worked best for me. In the next few paragraphs, I will give you the step by step instructions for making an income online even if you're a total newbie… You'll have to educate yourself, though, in order to be able to actually put the individual steps into action. There's no way around it.

The steps which I'm going to explain will build on the basics of online marketing and I will only give you the steps and not the in depth explanations as this cannot be done in one short article. I want you to understand the CONCEPT of how selling digital products in any niche market on the Internet works.

What about the techie stuff?

You have to find out about the technical details by reading other articles or by buying products which cover the individual topics. Usually, getting paid products is the best way to educate yourself as it can be a short cut in your learning curve.

Here we go:

Step 1: Decide on your target market, find a sub niche within it and build a keyword list

e.g. > Fishing > > Fly-fishing or - if you want to stay in the Internet marketing "arena" - it could be like Internet marketing >> Affiliate marketing >> Building affiliate websites using datafeeds.

Find the best keywords for your niche so you can get the most targeted traffic possible (e.g. traffic from the search engines or social bookmarking websites). I'd recommend NicheBot2 for this as it includes results from the 2 most important Keyword Research Tools: Wordtracker and Keyword Discovery.

Step 2: Do market research and find out what people in this niche are looking for

If you want to sell an ebook, collect a number of questions that people in this market would like to have answered by your product. By answering these questions you'll know that your buyers are getting what they want and this will keep your customers happy and the refund rate low.

If you want to have a software created, get to know what problems people are experiencing and how your software can be a solution to their problems. Take a look at the forums and what people are asking there. The topics with lots of activity are the ones you should be looking for.

Have a look at Amazon.com what kind of products people are buying there and get ideas for additional products. The full process and many more options and sites you can use for your research have been described in my recent article called "Niche Marketing Research For The Aspiring Niche Marketer" … I didn't want to repeat everything here.

Forward these questions and observations to your ghostwriter who will produce the product for you. If you are an expert yourself, you could get this done on your own but you need to consider that it will take much longer to get it completed. The better way is to outsource the writing to freelancers from sites like Elance.com or Scriptlance.com especially if you want to have a software done. You should be the marketer, not the one who is producing everything (this is different if you want to teach something that you're the real expert in).

And yes, you'll have to invest money to get this done. Internet marketing is for people who are willing to take risks (the project could flop…) and who are willing to invest. If you think that you can just buy a $1 resell rights ebook on Ebay and start selling it to your list, you are insulting the intelligence of your subscribers who will most likely recognize that you're trying to sell crap.

You always need to insure that the quality of your product is great before offering it to your list.

Step 3: Get your own domain name and web hosting

A lot of newbies already fail with this first step because they try to skip it or replace it by using some crappy free domains which usually are subdomains or sub directories on some big community sites like Geocities.Yahoo.com or similar platforms. This won't work. If you want to have success in an online business, you should not try to save on those $5-10 per month for your hosting and the $9 a year for a domain name. Register a domain with your keywords or your name included.

Being cheap will give your subscribers a very bad taste of your business. Get a domain name at e.g. Namecheap.com and then get a hosting account. If you plan to create a lot of websites, I'd recommend you check out Hostgator as you can get a reseller account there which allows you to host unlimited sites (you'll get 12 GB with their "Aluminium" package at a low fee (it's $24,95 per month as of today…).

Write your salesletter which describes the product and its' benefits. If you can't write it yourself, outsource that, too!

Step 4: Set up an autoresponder (e.g with Aweber) and build an email list

You can build an email list by creating a squeeze page (opt-in page) and then sending traffic to it. Offering a free report/ebook or something else of value will help you to increase your opt-in rates. An autoresponder will cost you about $20 per month. Again, don't save on this because in the end, you will regret it.

If you've never built a website before, this part can be quite overwhelming as you'll have to paste your autoresponder code into the HTML code for your website on which you'll be collecting the leads (this includes the dreaded uploading of your web pages using FTP (File Transfer Protocol) - a very simple process which so many newbies fear…).

Most salesletter style sites consist of at least a squeeze page where prospects enter their details and a full salesletter where the visitor can buy the product + a download page. Additional pages would be a privacy and a disclaimer page. The contact details can be put at the bottom of the salesletter so it would not require a separate page.

The process can be like this: The visitor enters his email address on the squeeze page and gets forwarded to a One Time Offer and can purchase the product (or access to a membership site) at a discount. The page which should be displayed after a prospect enters his details can be determined within your autoresponder admin area and usually is called something like "redirect to".

If there's no One Time Offer, the visitor gets forwarded to the salesletter. If you don't have the salesletter ready, yet, you can also redirect the visitor to an affiliate product. This means profiting while building your list. Do not make the assumption that you won't need a list or that you can simply skip this step altogether…

==> In this case, I predict you will fail as you're not building a real business! Your subscriber list will become your most valuable asset and it's the difference between you just getting by or making big profits.

Step 5: Have a backend in place

You will probably not get rich by selling 1 product within 1 niche. The key to making lots of money online is to diversify. First of all, think of other products your subscribers could need. Produce them yourself or become an affiliate for other people's products. Then recommend these products to your list. Choose only the best products within that niche so you can keep your customers happy and the refund rates low.

A backend also means that you're not just selling products from within the same price range. You could start out with a free report to get the opt-in. Then you offer a $7-27 report, a $47 ebook, a $97 product package, a $197 multimedia (audio/video) product, a $497 personal coaching session, a $997 intense workshop and a 3 days seminar for $1997.

==> That's the so called "salesfunnel". You start with the lowest priced products and you want your customers to go one step further until they have reached your high ticket items. That's where the big marketers are making most of their money. Not just from selling $27 ebooks.

You need to keep in touch with your subscribers and customers. This can be automated with your autoresponder (by setting up a message sequence where each message promotes a different product from your salesfunnel).

Step 6: Rinse and repeat!

Find a different niche you want to target and go through the same steps which I have described above.

…

Of course, I made it sound a little easier than it actually is. I've simplified it because I want you to understand the system and not the individual technical details. You can always outsource these "techie" things if you don't know e.g. how to build your website or how to integrate Clickbank or Paypal. Once your product is selling well, you also have the option to start your own affiliate program but I didn't want to make it too complicated.

KEEP THIS IN MIND: ==> You don't have to know it all!

Marketers like e.g. Michael Green are outsourcing 80-90% of the work. If you don't have the money to outsource e.g. the creation of your products or website then save your money until you can afford it. Sell stuff on Ebay which you don't need anymore in order to earn the money you need. Work overtime in your job to make the money you need.

==> "No money" is just an excuse why it's not getting done! If you really want it, you'll find a way…

Personally, I have outsourced the creation of my pieces of software. My Affiliate Turbo software & my Blog Promoter software (in the meantime, I have sold the website & rights to both because they required constant updates and I couldn't find the time for it anymore…) had both been done by a programmer from Scriptlance. Both pieces of software had cost me less than $500 each to produce and I made several thousands from both softwares (and from selling the websites/rights, of course).

I created PromoBuddy myself, though… it was the product which got me started. Everything gets easier once you have your own products and that was something I recognized very early on. Once you have a great product, you can start an affiliate program for it and ask other marketers to do Joint Ventures with you. If the product is great and you're offering generous commissions, you should have no problems in getting a lot of affiliates/JV partners.

Almost no Internet marketer has the complete knowledge in all areas of Internet marketing. Some of them are good at using Google Adwords to make an income, others are building content sites and are making affiliate commissions from free traffic and again others are great article writers and use article marketing to get traffic to their own sites or affiliate sites. Moreover, while doing this they are building their reputation and ultimately are getting tons of sales.

And with that said, I want to give you a link to a free report by Dylan Loh who is an expert at article marketing (or "bum marketing") - even though he's not even a native speaker of english. Article marketing is still one of the best ways of getting traffic and best of all, it's free (if you're writing your own articles, though). If you think you can't write an article, I would recommend Jonathan Leger's "Instant Article Writer" (right now he's giving a 30% discount on his software so the timing is good to get your copy).

But back to Dylan…

Dylan made more than $18.000,00 in a 30 day period because he knows some very nice tricks which stunned me as well even though I have been using article marketing myself since I got started back in 2001 (do a search for "Detlev Reimer" in Google and you'll find a lot of my "old" articles). But to be honest, I haven't had results like that so far.

This could change now as I plan on putting his tips into practice. The report is free but tomorrow, he'll be launching his new product which is an in depth explanation of how the whole process works. The free report covers a lot of that, too. So get it with my compliments - it's great and useful stuff

If you have a product that is of high quality, you should try to get list owners to promote it for you. In return, you should offer them a much higher than usual commission – even the full 100%. Your goal should be not to profit on the front end but on the backend.

In other words, you must build your list and offer your new subscribers or buyers other related products. Once they are on your list, you'll get multiple chances of making them an offer they can’t resist.

Link Exchanges

This is a sure and proven method and has been working for years. You will seldom find a website which doesn’t have any link to another site. Most webmasters are willing to exchange links with each other so that they could produce more public awareness about their sites. You’ll soon see and feel the sudden upsurge of the traffic coming in to your site from other sites.

A major prerequisite in exchanging links with other sites is having the same niche or content as the other site. Exchanging links also boosts your chances of getting a higher ranking in search engine results – even though it's working better with one way links.

Startpage Exchanges

One of the best free possibilities for getting targeted traffic is the use of Startpage Exchanges. The way it works is very easy to explain: You view other people's websites and in exchange, they are viewing the URL YOU are advertising to them.

Sure, you are not getting the same conversion rates as from an email campaign. But still, you are getting targeted visitors (you can choose target groups that you want to advertise to e.g. Internet marketers or business opportunity seekers) to the site through YOUR LINK.

Viral Marketing

Viral Marketing also known otherwise as Viral Advertising is a marketing technique used to build the public awareness of one’s product or company. In a nutshell, companies ride on the idea that if people like the content of a media they will pass it on to their friends and family.

Viral marketing has become a popular means of advertising and marketing because they are relatively low cost. To avoid being tagged as spam mail, viral marketing counts on the eagerness of one person to pass on the product. If a person sees the name of the person they know as the sender, they won’t block it and open it as well.

Write and Submit Articles

There are many ezines and article directories on the internet which are waiting for your article submissions. Also, many freelance writers are willing to write articles for you for a small fee if you can’t write them yourself.

Write about something that you have expertise on so that when they read it, they can feel your knowledge about the subject and will be eager to go to your site. Provide tips and guidelines related to the subject or niche your site is about. Include a resource box at the end of your article and link it back to your site.

Publish a Newsletter

Publishing a newsletter gives you free advertising to targeted prospects. If you think that you are not a writer or you don’t exactly how to write, you can outsource that part of your business. Hire writers on freelancer platforms like Elance.com, Scriptlance.com, Guru.com or similar websites. In your newsletter, make recommendations for products you like and which you have personally used. Then you are almost guaranteed to make sales.

Participate in Forum Discussions

This only requires your time and nothing else. You can share your knowledge and expertise with many online communities as well as your website and build your expertise at the same time. You can get free advertising when you go to forums that are on the same subject or are in the same niche as your site by using your signature line when posting.

Start a free Blog

You can start a blog for free on a platform like Blogger.com. By adding exclusive niche content to your blog on a regular basis, you can achieve the same high positions which regular websites are getting. You just have to be careful that you are not choosing a too competitive niche. Then direct that traffic to your main site which has your salesletter to make sales.
