Moonlighting on the Internet
As you might know, Yanik Silver’s first “real” published book, “Moonlighting on the Internet: 5 World-Class Experts Reveal Proven Ways to Make an Extra Paycheck Online Each Month” is now available in bookstores and online at places like amazon.com and bn.com
And I was honored to be chosen as one of Yanik’s expert co-authors on this project.
As Yanik tells it, “…the book has been selling well and has taken on a life of its own without any real promotion on my part” and he suspects that has happened because “I intentionally made the message behind it the opposite of hype. It’s all about an additional $500 to $5,000/mo in your spare time. (A distinct difference from a lot of the schemes you see in your inbox!)”
The central idea of the book is how to use the Internet in your spare time to get an extra paycheck to pay off your bills, make a car payment, save for kids college account or even just a special vacation.
Anyway, on Wednesday, February 20, 2008 at 8 pm, ET there will be special group call with Yanik and all of the co-authors of “Moonlighting on the Internet: 5 World-Class Experts Reveal Proven Ways to Make an Extra Paycheck Online Each Month“. Access is limited, so if you want in, you should sign up for the free teleseminar right away.
Of course, if you want to make a lot MORE than an extra paycheck by moonlighting, you should sign up for the nearly sold-out Underground Seminar instead! (I’ll be there!)

Project Black Mask Review
If you are as uncomfortable as I am with ‘black hat’ or ‘grey hat’ SEO techniques then Project Black Mask - the latest ‘tell all’ Adsense product for affiliate marketers - is definitely not for you.
Project Black Mask is the next-in-series of IM products by Chris X, the author of Day Job Killer, Affiliate Project X, and Adwords Miracle.
I read it about a week ago and quite frankly, there’s NO WAY I would take this approach to making an affiliate income. Seriously, why would anyone want to invest in 100’s or thousands of domains to make a dollar a day (probably less) on each through Adsense, when they can earn at least as much or more selling real products as a content publisher through just one, two or three sites?
Granted, the content publisher approach always appears to be too much like work for some folks - especially those who hate to write, don’t want to pay for PLR or ghostwriters, or have no time or inclination to build a list and create real relationships with newsletter subscribers.
If that describes your take on content publishing as an affiliate marketer, then perhaps Chris’ approach will seem like a godsend, but don’t say that I didn’t warn you about domain or software outlays or, if this technique eventually turns out to be another flash in the pan approach to affiliate marketing.
All that said, one section of Chris’ book that is worth it’s weight in gold is the keyword list generation chapter. He says, “I’m a keyword addict. I collect good keywords like a museum collects expensive paintings” and it’s obvious to this ‘keyword addict’ that Chris knows exactly what he’s talking about when it comes to keyword research and generation.
Chris tells you exactly how to build and use big beautiful lists of longtail keywords. It’s absolutely fabulous information and in my opinion, worth the price of admission, whether you’re into black hat SEO or a by-the-book white hat affiliate marketer like myself.
Project Black Mask will be available at 3PM Eastern today.

Update on Colin McDougall
Many of you have asked for an update on Colin McDougall’s progress since reading about his affiliate marketing near disaster and amazing recovery in “The “Come=Back” Affiliate‘ in late January.
So I asked Colin if I could share some of our email exchanges with you and he agreed.
Here are portions from 3 of our email ‘chats’.
Hey Ros,
Here is how things have gone with campaign:
- 2 weeks planning
- Campaign is 1 month in
- Profit on Campaign over 30 days is $US12788
- List is at 987 Subscribers which for last 7 days has produced $30/day
The bulk of the earnings has come in the last 2 weeks as I made some refinements to the campaign.
For the first 2 weeks the campaign produced about $100/day and 30 new subscribers.
I tweaked and the record day was $2k with 200+ new subscribers
Colin
In another email Colin reported:
Many of my customers ask me what my target earnings are on a site before I build another site.
My response: I want 10k subscribers per site that I have before I launch any more.
Colin
… a GREAT tip…
In every biz my core focus is now “The List” – A list is an amazing thing – It is an incredible foundation.
I regret not doing this 5 years ago – I would have been doing close to $1Million per month if I had adopted list building from the start.
… and MORE good tips…
Now have almost 2000 subscribers over the course of about 2 months (The first 2 weeks were slow though in building the campaign) so really 2k subscribers in 6 weeks - Not bad….still tweaking and refining. Getting to “know” my list.
I am researching more topics to start the next list but the key to success for me has really come down to focusing on a handful of categories and dominating those.
Category #1 is going incredibly well.
Feel free to use the last correspondence. You certainly were my inspiration to get off my butt and start building a list.
Anyway… off to work on latest campaign – Been crunching numbers and looks very very good – If all works out I will have an additional $40k/month residual coming in thanks to your inspiration!!!
You Rock!!!
Colin
And Colin and his efforts defnitely ROCK.

Time for the “PowerPause”
Hi All!
I’ve got something very special for you today, and I know you’re going to be glad that you read this note.
Many of you know the name John Harricharan.
As one of the most highly regarded, self-development and spiritual leaders on the planet, John has helped thousands and thousands of people discover the true secret of life-lasting success in all areas of their lives.
You don’t have to take my word for it.
Here’s what Dr. Deepak Chopra, best-selling author has to say about him, “John Harricharan leads us along the enchanted path of enlightenment with magic, charm, love and compassion.”
And Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross said, “John is fantastic, absolutely fantastic … listen to what he has to say. His work has helped me through some of the toughest times of my life.”
And there are many others like that.
I too am truly blessed to be able to call John my friend. He was there for me during a tough time last year and helped me put things in perspective. Our chats and email exchanges always make me laugh out loud. John is a truly wonderful person.
I was therefore was very, very pleased when he told me that he was going to offer his “3 minutes, 3 steps to total success” system again. (He also mentioned that this is the last time it will be offered, and for a limited time only.)
John also said that he’s assembled a fantastic array of valuable, beneficial bonuses — some of them never offered before and others so rare that you’ll be amazed. But only if you choose to act right away.
It’s probably best to let me tell you a bit more about this product in John’s own words.
“With three steps, in about three minutes, you can start on a life of success,wealth and happiness.”
And he continues by asking:
“What do you want? What is your dream? To make more money? To have a great family life? To travel to faraway places? To enjoy wonderful relationships? To experience better health or just have more peace, joy and prosperity?”
Then he says:
“This special system shows you how to get to the place where making money — any amount of money, having all the happiness, health and peace you can imagine, become as simple as following a roadmap.”
John says that at first, you may not believe the endless possibilities in this amazing formula, so he is fond of quoting what Dr. Joe Vitale says about it:
“Three steps? It only takes three steps to solve problems, make money and feel happy? I didn’t believe it either, until I tried it. Not only do the three steps work, but you can do them anywhere, anytime, for any situation — and in about three minutes! On top of that, this method never fails. I’m blown away.”
I won’t take any more of your time by telling you more about John Harricharan and this limited time offer.
It is his intention to remove the product from the market so he could proceed with other major projects. I want you to find out for yourself by going to the website where John describes the amazing formula. But you have to act now.
Go to the PowerPause.
I am sure you’ll be glad that you did. Remember, this is a limited time offer.
Visit the PowerPause now for more information.
Cheers,
Ros
