Bet you would love to be making $34,244 per month? I sure would love it if I were making half that or even a quarter of that; but am I willing to spend money on a program written by someone claiming they have a secret method I can use to turn my blogs into money making machines?

There’s always something fishy about people claiming they have secret methods for making money that they’re willing to share with you for a fee. Maybe many of these people are legit but I never find myself willing to take a chance that their program might indeed have the answers I can’t find anywhere else .

I joined clickbank recently and I’ve been looking around their market place trying to find interesting money-making programs that might be useful to myself as well as to anyone who happens to come across my blog. Most of the stuff I’m finding under their money and employment category just seems to me to be a bunch of worthless programs designed to deceive people out of their money.

One of the programs I came across was a program called “Rob Benwell’s Blogging to the Bank 2.0″ which promises to teach you how to create profitable blogs that suck in thousands of targeted visitors every day. Quite frankly I would love to know how to do that, but I’m just not willing to spend money on his program. It just reads too similarly to so many others. They all tell the same story about how they were struggling, how they tried all the other programs to no avail, and how they eventually came to the point where they developed their own system and had so much success with it. They’ve all had best-selling ebooks, gotten invited to speak at seminars because of their huge success and expertise, helped tons of other people become millionaires et cetera.

Who knows? Maybe Blogging To The Bank 2.0 can do what it promises. It promises to show you:

7. The One Technique No One Else Is Telling You About On How To Build A Multi Million Dollar Blogging Empire

If I thought that this individual going by the name Rob Benwell could teach me how to build a multi-million-dollar blogging empire I’d buy his program in a New York Minute; but somehow I just don’t buy that there’s something he knows that even the Gurus don’t know like he claims.

However, if you want to take your chances you’re free to do so.

You can access his program by Clicking here; and drop me a line if you actually start to make thousands a month after you study his program. In the meantime I’ll continue to try to figure out just what it is I’m not doing right, and if I figure it out and start raking in the dough, I’ll be sure to let you know exactly what I did without charging you a dime for the information.

I admit it made me laugh when I read the below:

“The Amazing Money-Making Secret of a 28-year-old Convicted Felon Who Earns More Money Per Year Than The CEOs of FedEx… eBay… Amazon.com… Time Warner… Apple Computer… McDonalds… Microsoft… Nike… Yahoo… Ford Motor Company… General Motors… and Goodyear COMBINED!”

Would I buy this so-called amazing money-making secret of a 28-year old convicted felon? No, but not because of the convicted felon angle. The whole page reads like a bunch of nonsense and frankly I think you’d be silly to buy the advertised program; but in case you have money to waste and you’re interested in wasting it on this obvious fraud, Click Here! so you can at least send me a dime too, and if you actually become a millionaire using their program please contact me with details so I can append a little note here.

Seriously though folks, I haven’t tried this product so I don’t know for a fact that it’s a joke. I’m just offering my opinion that this Russell Brunson, which is probably not the person’s real name, sounds like he’s shamelessly trying to rip off the most gullible people he can find; and he would need to find the most gullible people on the planet to be able to have any success with selling his program. But it’s just my opinion that he’s looking to sell you a bunch of B.S. You never know, I could be completely wrong.

Some people have been making good money building and selling websites. It’s a method of flipping. Flipping usually entails buying an asset and then quickly reselling it; but in this case the website is being built first, turned into an asset and then sold in website buy-sell marketplaces like the one found on sitepoint.com.

It can be a fun experience when you’re actually having success with it. With the going rate being 10 - 24x the profit a website makes per month, if you’re able to generate an income of $500 per month and the website you’re selling is in a niche where buyers happen to have an interest you could be looking at offers from $5000 - $12,000 for your website. You could sell just one website per month at that rate and still be making more per month than many people.

Of course, building the website and growing it to the point where it’s generating income consistently over several months can be the hard part. One of the reasons many people are selling their websites, among those who didn’t build the website initially with the intention of selling it, is that they can’t make the money off their website they had hoped they would be making; or else they are having trouble keeping up with the work involved in maintaining a website.

The majority of websites that get put for sale are sites that are causing the owners hassles in one way or another. It’s not as easy as 1-2-3 to build a website and get it to the point where it’s generating an income. That is probably the reason most people who are into website flipping buy the websites which they then flip immediately, rather than building and growing the website themselves. But the ones who actually build the sites, grow them and then sell them tend to get their sites sold more easily and for more money because they are selling true assets; whereas, the ‘buy and flip’ guys are generally selling liabilities (sites other people didn’t want because they were proving to be more trouble than they were worth).

Depending on the type of website, building a website can be fairly simple with all the software available to facilitate the process. It’s possible, for example, to start a dating site in as few minutes as it takes you to buy a domain name, buy dating software and install the dating software. In under an hour you can have a complete dating website. Likewise you can start a blog site, a classifieds website, a directory, an article site and other types of websites without knowing anything about web site development. So starting up a website is easy enough, but growing the website into an asset that can be sold for a profit, that’s not quite as simple.

However, if you’re able to sell 20 websites in a year each for $5000 - $12000, you’re looking at a 6-figure income for that year; so it might be worth it to look into the possibility of building and selling websites as a viable way of making money online.

For more information on how to do this you might review Tim Gorman’s Flipping Websites For Profit program. This is not an endorsement as I haven’t reviewed the product myself; but I do believe if you’re going to try building and selling websites for profit you should do a bit of research to find out at least the best types of websites, the best way to grow them, when to sell them etc.

Personally I have sold websites myself and I am in the process of growing additional sites that were built for the purpose of selling. My advice would be:

1. Pay attention to what sells.

2. If you don’t know anything about what you’re doing, hire someone who does know. For example, if you notice that tech blogs sell and you start a tech blog but you know nothing about technology, hire someone else to do the writing. Don’t try to do the writing yourself.

3. Don’t rush to sell a site that isn’t really ready to be sold.

4. Respect the buyer’s intelligence.

5. Be honest. Don’t go in and try to trick people by exaggerating what the site is making, the traffic the site gets and other stats. Buyers aren’t gullible. They’ll want proof of the income and the traffic.

6. Be reasonable. Don’t try to get $5000 for a site that you know isn’t even worth $500.

7. Be patient. It can take months, even years, before your site reaches the point where it can be considered an asset.

8. Do some research. Learning how to do something from people who are already doing it can help you avoid mistakes and provide you with ideas that make it easier for you to achieve your goals.
