Folks, when the next 12 places are sold at Wordpress Goldmine the price is going to go up according to the owner Mark.
I absolutely adore this place and it has the the numero uno place for me to learn internet marketing.
Right now it’s just under 20 bucks a month, and you can try it for 1 dollar.
I emplore you to get involved if you are “at that point” where you MUST start making money online. I was in october 2009 and have never looked back.
if you’re not quite yet sure I have written a Wordpress Goldmine Review, but otherwise go now, grab your Wordpress Goldmine $1 trial.
Peace
Shaun

My progress update using Wordpress Goldmine for Thursday 17th June 2010.
Ok, thought I’d post an update.
I have been doing all this internet marketing stuff, and being in a position where I can devote full time attention to it, having had a bit of cash in reserve to see me through.
One thing I hadn’t been doing was pinging, bookmarking, clipmarking and submitting the rss feeds for my “backlinks”.
DOH!
I’d done it for new blog posts, new sites but not for the backlinks.
To cut a long story short I’ve spent 6+ months creating backlinks and Im guessing a lot of them haven’t even been indexed…..!
All that effort..
Anyway, I am starting to work through them, at the same time as deal with writing website sales letters and articles.
Happy to report that my website is now number 1 in google for its main search term yay! “website sales letters”
Anyway, here are the earnings from yesterday:
Adsense £1.47
Amazon £2.17
Clickbank £0.00
Other – promoting a new service generating $20/month in referral commissions. So far I am up to 6 referrals, as long as none cancel its potentially $120/month.
We will see

Progress Update On Wordpress Goldmine Earnings
I havent posted a progress update for a few weeks because there wasn’t a whole amount of need. The past 6 weeks or so are basically when I have started full time at this. I am still earning but the more I learn the more I earn.
Adsense:
Back in April I earned £5.48 adsense in May I have earned £4.91 June so far its at £2.51 – it’s good to know that things tend to follow a certain ongoing continual path and I’m happy to know that basically what I am doing is slowly building a passive income empire. I know some people scoff and laugh at the earnings but everyone has to start somewhere. Ive never claimed to be the fastest but I certainly understand the rules.
Amazon:
April was $7.04, May was $3.76 and June so far is just $0.54 – Not sure what to say on that, maybe Ive encountered competition for my sites, or maybe it’s just fact that the income goes up and down – if I had 100 sites in my arsenal it could be arather different story.
Clickbank:
April $0.00 May $0.00 June $0.00 (There was a sale which would have netted me $30 a month but it got refunded).
Wordpress Goldmine Affiliate Sales:
April: $20.48 May $19.98 June to be reviewed at month end but should be 3 subscribers so around $28.
Other sales:
I am promoting other items too, one of which I should have sold 2 subscriptions earning me $20 on each so thats at $40 per month.
So, progress so far I am sitting somewhere in the region of
Adsense roughly $7
Amazon proposed $2
Clickbank ….
WPGM $28
Other $40
So all in about $77 a month.
Woweee some of you may say, and wowee I say too but I don’t care! Potentially thats $70 a month for life as long as I keep doing maintenance promotion.
Now Im working full time at this I am starting to see the fruits of my effort. Other people have had bigger successes and I congratulate them, but I am after all making progress udner my own steam, and it’s a good feeling.
To date, I still only own 6 or 7 sites and havent done nearly enough on all of them and for a long time have been.
Plus, it’s really only recently Ive been “getting it” and understanding the bigger picture.
Do you know… would it REALLY MATTER if it took me 5 years to reach a full time passive income? Some people would say thats not acceptable, but lets look another way.
Doctors study for 5-10 years, people in well paid professions study at university for 5 years without a guarantee of a job, plus when they retire, the money stops unles theyve got a brilliant pension. How good are pensions anyway these days?
Plus, they STILL have to go to work 40 hours a week when they are sick or ill and they still have to beg and plead like sick puppies for any time off, plus their bosses make them feel like crap day in day out.. no thanks…
Me, with ongoing maintenance, I can happily build this money up, and even one day pay outsourcers to take over 95% of the work leaving me to do what I want, when I want for the rest of my life.
If I want that £70,000 BMW I can have it.
Many people who have spent their WHOLE LIVES chasing their dreams get frustrated over and over and over each time they read stuff like this, because they are stressed that it’s not working for them.
Can I be your helping hand? why not join me at Wordpress Goldmine.
I’m happy to be the tortoise when other people are the hares. As long as I remain true to the path and keep putting one foot down in front of the other I will get there. It’s not a race it’s a marathon.
Other news:
Search engine results page positioning is increasing almost daily. This is the key – having more and more pages of content that show up in the SERPS. I have spent the past few weeks doing just that – adding content to my sites and bookmarrking the pages(as well as some other techniques you’ll lear inside wpgm if you join).
One site I recently pushed, I targeted about 15 phrases – and wrote content for each phrase and 2 weeks later 90% of those phrases now show up on page 1 of Google.
I’ve also come to realise that all this time Ive been targetting keyword phrases with low search volume and low adsense earnings, so this is another factor that has influenced the overall earnings.

Hi everyone,
This is the month I start putting a heap more time into things, so expect to see alot more activity posted and soon, better results being listed!
Its a public holiday here in the Uk, and with the family at home it is difficult to put too much work in, and of course this week and maybe next week I will be helping out my former boss for the last time.
Anyway, Yesterday I saw the following (for zero effort 
)
Adsense £0.18
Amazon £0.00
Clickbank £0.00
General thoughts. I find myself chasing terms and phrases that don’t always have high search volumes, but it is more of an ego boost, so a self-note to myself – stop worrying and focus on the high search numbers.
I know we are taught to chase the phrases with small search volume amounts, of at least 1000 to 5000 searches per month and that is great and of course do-able, but Mark hinted in his update that it’s possible with the extra tools in the article dominance review to actually dominate higher searched terms over a longer period of time. (NOTE: Everything inside the article dominance report can be accessed inside of Wordpress Goldmine, and of course you can access the Wordpress Goldmine $1 trial for yes, just one dollar.)
And this REALLY whetted my appetite.
I found a phrase that I normally overlook – something like 150,000 searches a month, or 5000 a day.
yes I needed hundreds and hundreds of backlinks, possibly thousands and the competition was stuff but if you imagine that over, say 5 years you work at this goal and one day break through and get onto page 1, the top 2 or 3, this could mean 1000 to 2500 hits a day to that site or page.
Now if you were selling a product that made you $50 profit on it, this could easily equate to 10 or 20 sales… a day…
Hmm…
Now the thought of doing 20 x $50, or $1000 a day which is the same as ahem.. $365,000 a year is kind of scary and exciting.
Your thoughts?

Well I thought it was pointless providing progress updates the last couple of weeks and of course the past 8 weeks I haven’t really done any internet marketing at all.
Thanks to wordpress goldmine though, things could not be better, given the circumstances.
Someone criticised my progress a few weeks ago which I thought was unfair given the fact we have been dealing with the estate of my now dead father in law who died suddenly from a heart attack, in the street.
Now thankfully most of the stuff is behind me and all I can say is WATCH THIS SPACE for May!
Now on to the results.
My Adsense dropped a little bit compared to last month by 36%
Adsense £5.48 (£8.63 last month)
I know why the drop was significant. Last month I had a single click from one site for £1.98 and that site hasnt had any further promotion from me yet.
And really this isnt a good measure on just 5 or 6 sites.
Clickbank earnings £0.00
Amazon was a good result: I doubled the number of clicks to over 200 and the earnings came out at almost double compared to last month too. Not bad for zero work.
Amazon earnings: $7.04 (USD) or £4.60
As for referring new people to WPGM I increased the signups for a third month in a row, with one per month.
This is all testament to the fact that this WORKS.
I am wholly convinced beyond ANY reasonable doubt whatsoever and now have been a member since October 2010.
The ONLY reason I’m not doing hundreds per month yet is because of the family death and everything we’ve had to do since then – the whole affair was left for me and my wife to deal with.
6 sites up, 5 are on page 1 with 2 of them at position 1 in the search engines.
I know that I can build a site a day if I want to, but I also know that in a lot of the cases you need to continually work on each site adding backlinks, pushing them higher up the rankings and keeping them there.
I have friends who can build one site a day and with great research do little else to them until they need it – a nice approach, but to encompass all kinds of sites we need to push all methods.
i.e. diversify…
Now, I can go on and on and on about this for hours as it’s something I went into very thoroughly a few years ago and I intend to get some reports written up to give away in the future to explain what I mean…
Thanks
Shaun
p.s. read my Wordpress Goldmine review and decide for yourself if your life is worth changing. I dont know what else I can say. It works, period. When you stop thinking all about the hype, spam, crap and stupidness that exists and you have a clear head, then that is the moment in your life when you need to make a proper and sensible decision. Stay clear of the crap that clutters the net.

Well.. my online world has been completely overshadowed by the intensity Im now experiencing offline in relation to a deceased relatives estate we are managing.
In the brief moments Ive actually been able to stop and think about all of this Ive achieved the following.
I finished another sales letter and have another in the pipeline so this is all good stuff, and feedback has been nothing short of “WOW”.
That makes me smile in such a huge way.
Even though my heart is here to access passive income, long term its nice to know I can write for other people until the passive income increases.
There has been very litle all week in terms of revenue.
Adsense for 7 days £0.74 pence (still even if its 10p a day thats 10p a day! passive income if ever Ive heard it, lol.
Amazon £0.00
Clckbank £0.00
Revenue from an affiliate sale at wordpress goldmine $0.50 (but may rise to $9.99 if they go on to take the full monthly subscription.
I’ve also been able to solidify my thoughts quite strongly about the progress I will personally be taking.
Ive noted that one of my domains has been in position 2 for 4-6 months.
The GREAT news is that for 4 months I havent added any content whatsoever to it…
So domain age definitely DOES come into things and does help sites rank higher and higher.
So for the turtle and the hare(remember that story?) the turtle definitely wins the race this time round.
That one site, is also the ONLY site that has consistently stayed at positions 1 or 2 in “G”, all because it was my first site and it was the site I spent 2 months building backlinks to and creating a lot of content to.
So thats really the key!
Domain age helps.. a LOT
Add 5-20 pieces of content, and make as many backlinks as possible to each piece of content.. using high pr sites to link to your sites main page and inner posts.
I can also confirm this “concept” because a few years ago I sold a tyre sealant and became responsible for my region.
I developed a very basic website using a cheap piece of website software called “serif webplus”.
The site went on to have something in the region of 80 or so pages.
(I had to write about the history of the company and what it did etc – much of it was copied and pasted from the main company website too!)
It stayed at position 1 in google for almost a year before I left the company due to falling out with head office over an agreement with setting up sales reps for myself.. long story….
Ironically and I didnt realise at the time, I put some affiliate product codes on the site for an automobile service/product(car breakdown cover) and this netted me over £100 every single month… kind of sounds identical to what I do NOW – affiliate marketing!
If only I knew then what I know now…
Anyway… the future is bright…
All around me at wordpress goldmine I am reading of people increasing their money. Heather is now reporting a HUGE jump in earnings from $8 a day to $16 a day with some $20 days coming in (from Adsense alone)
You can read my review about it if you want to (wordpress goldmine review) – its only $1 – seriously you’d have be stupid to be passing up each day for this.
As Nike says….”Just Do It”

How To Earn Passive Income
Learn How To Get To $5000 A Month By Making Your First $5 Online.
This information is for the people who don’t make money online and who would like to.
My name is Shaun Baird and for the last 20 years I have been a serial optimist who starts businesses, joins MLM’s, looks at business opportunities, seeks out anything to do with “being a boss” or working for myself.
I’ve investigated get rich quick schemes, franchises and dabbled at most things online that promise quick riches,
The purpose of this post is to reignite the passion within you.
If you’ve ever had that urge, whether it’s a tiny fleeting thought, or a heart pulsing desire to “make it big” then I understand you, and believe in you.
You are most certainly not alone in wanting to be your own person.
I want to help you get to your first $5 online, and then show you how you can simply duplicate what you just did so that it turns and grows into $5000 per month.
I also want to point out that this must be done through generating a “passive income”. Not only that, it needs to be a long term passive income.
Ok, now that’s the waffle, hype, fluff and filler, and a quick introduction out of the way, lets say we begin eh?
I know my time is busy, I’m, sure you’ve got better things to be doing than reading about what this crazy dude called Shaun is up to.
If you weren’t already aware there is a distinct difference between a passive income and an income created through working at a job.
After the job finishes and you go home your income stops dead in it’s tracks.
After you’ve created a passive income the income keeps coming when you go home, and continues on pretty much indefinitely.
How would you like it if I rolled a single coin to you once a day? Would it make you rich? Could it pay your bills?
No? Hope not.
Now, how about if I rolled 3000 coins towards you all at the same time and did the same thing every day.
Sure it’s going to get messy and a pain in the head to count, but heck, if you get to keep it, that’s nice money for free right?
So, build a website and figure out how to make that website send you a coin a day.
What about the beauty of MLM?
Heck! I know a lot about MLM. I mean a LOT…
I must have spent 10 years actively pursuing it, and reaching success at times. I’ve got the tapes and the books and actually “talk a good talk”, often surprising even myself at what I know.
However the reason I never stuck at it, or all the other things is because like most people I had flitted from one thing to another when I hit an obstacle.
The obstacle could have been anything at all. It could have been a problem with marketing, a fear of cold calling, an ability to deal with conflicts.. anything.
You know, a family member (who is a successful printer) once told me that I should just “keep trying all the things” until I find one I could do.
I saw the merit in that, as it also dealt with the notion of getting right back up if you fell at a hurdle.
Now, the good thing with MLM is if you recruited 20 people then some would be bad, some ok and some great, with some doing nothing at all.
The money still comes in though, which is nice, but for this “privilege” you still have the “benefit” of your recruits constantly calling you, asking you to attend meetings with prospects, going to seminars, going out leafleting etc etc.
The passive income with MLM still comes at a price. The price is worth paying if you reach the dizzying 5 and 6 figure monthly earners status, however it’s worth noting that there are still a vast majority of people in MLM who never hit the big time, but still have to deal with all the “privileges” of doing MLM.
There is another way you’ll be glad to hear
The way I prefer to make passive income is through building small websites (without any skills I must add).
I figure out how to build a website in a day, add a way of getting money out of it, and sussing out how to drive free organic traffic to it (none of that paid traffic for me, no no no).
Then I promote that site until it hits around $1 a day or more in “regular income” and build a second site.
All I do is rinse and repeat.
I’ve got a small army of websites quietly pumping out money every day whether I stay in bed or go and sit in the garden.
Anyway, enough of the waffle.
You can, and you can EASILY do the same (yes, I really do mean it). I did it with nothing more than a deep “heart wrenching” desire to get my life sorted out.
Yeah, it was time to sort out the men from the boys.
Ahem…
Now you could if you wanted make $5 quickly buy selling your old socks or knee supports or combs on eBay (joke), although they do say its a place where you can sell anything.
Maybe you’ll get the bug and set up your own eBay sock selling empire.. who knows…
What happens though when one day you want to go on holiday for 10 months or you are unable to get online for 10 months do to any circumstance?
Your income goes…
No more passive income… slaps on the wrists, needing to get a job, talking with creditors… it really isn’t all that pretty.
So, let me introduce to you to the one thing that has changed my life. It’s the one thing that has forced me to cancel all my memberships at other sites, close down all my websites and get rid of all other distractions.
Ok, ok.. ok. ok…. OK! STOP Before you go running off at the “notion” that “oh it’s one of those stupid blogging things”.. “huh I’m sick of all this online BS”.
Just before you click away, please please please ask yourself why you read this report?
It is probably because you aren’t where you are meant to be.
Even if you’ve tossed this idea aside in the past, I can guarantee it’s probably been cast aside based on some half-weight thought in your mind that it’s either too hard, time consuming, or doesn’t work, or you cant write etc etc etc.
There are always reasons given by people as to why they shouldn’t do this.
I can’t stop you, but I want to help stop you going round in circles.
Do you REALLY want to earn $5000 a month (that’s better read if you say out loud FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS each and every month… passively) ?
Come on, let me do a little bit of hand holding.. is that ok?
If you can type, click a single button and generally work your way around the basics of a computer you will be fine – as long as you have that all important “raging fire” deep within. Think of the Rocky song “Hearts on fire.. strong desire.. rage is deep within”…
If you enjoy writing emails to friends then I guarantee you will really love doing this. Not because it involves emailing friends because it doesn’t but it does involve you doing some general typing so that you can write snippets of information (I promise nothing technical.. all plain and simple).
If you want to earn a passive income online then please, manage to trust me, if that is in any way possible, when I tell you that this blogging stuff works… extremely well, and can be deeply lucrative.
If you read my wordpress goldmine review you’ll realize what I mean.
I am good friends with dozens of members there who are all now actively chasing their dreams.
Many are hitting $100 a month for the first time, others are now hitting $100 a day and others are now going on to reach that elusive 4 figure monthly income that starts at $1000 a month then upwards.
I conducted a poll in the forum not long after I started to ask how much people were earning.
There were some people in there doing over $6000 a month, many hitting $1000 to $2000 and others just starting out too.
Anyway, the point I am trying to get to is to say that Wordpress Goldmine has been instrumental in helping me hit that elusive passive income.
Every month I have been there my income has grown, and you could do the same.
If you can commit in your mind to trying this for 6 months, like I did you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
It only costs $1 for a full 7 day trial. You get full access to see if it’s for you, but if you join through my link, and need help, just send me a PM in the forum.. sound fair?
That’s a little bit of hand holding, and your first friend inside!
Come and join me in earning a passive income online through the magic of wordpress goldmine.
Seriously though… this way to earn a passive income online completely knocks spots off of MLM programs. It’s got all the benefits and none of the drawbacks.
This is one of the best examples of passive income I have ever known.

Well we’ve just emerged from the other side of the Easter holiday period – 4 days of officially “no work” for many people here in the Uk.
Ironically most revenues have dropped “all that time”, as have the number of traffic visits. I’m sure when there are a lot more sites up, lots more daily traffic that this will still mean a drop in income, but will not affect the “minimum I need” on a daily basis too much – as long as I aim for way over that “minimum – i.e. double should be my, and everyones targets to shoot for. Why not?
During this week, last week and most probably next week I am not providing regular daily updates because of the offline commitments I am working through.
Still on the 1st April had a rather interesting day when one site pulled in over £1.55 on it’s own.
Then there has been next to nothing.
Today though had another 17pence to add to the pot.
While my dream means I want to shout out that I made another $200, $300 and more, it’s important to recognise the small increments and “ongong progress made in small bite sized chunks”.
So the totals “for this month” so far, are:
Adsense: £1.72
Clickbank: £0.00
Amazon: £0.00
I have put a few new backlinks to a couple of sites though, and have launched another new site, so progress IS being made, just frustratingly, not yet at the rate I am desperate to achieve… couple of weeks Shauny… couple of weeks…!
Over, and out…

Well the whole of February yielded £4.80 adsense and £0.89 in amazon income , pus a recurring (passive) renewal of income from a referral at wordpress goldmine earning me £6.57 for a total of
Adsense: £4.80
Amazon £0.89
Clickbank: £0.00
Overall “site building” passive income is: £5.69
Factor in the wordpress goldmine affiliate income and we get: WPGM: £6.57
Overall Total for Feb is £12.26
Now I want to move on to March.
A month where virtually nothing has been done as it is a period in time where I am leaving my job, emptying a relatives house, setting up an accountant and writing sales pages for others.
Lets see what I earned from “no extra effort” in site building.
Adsense: £7.08
Clickbank: £16.75
Amazon : £3.26
That’s a passive site building total of £27.09
That’s an increase of 376% (new amount, minus old amount = difference between the two figures = £21.40. £21.40 divided by last months amount of £5.69 = 3.76. Multitply 3.76 x 100 to gve the percentage increase of 376%)
I can cope with that.. Sure beats an increase at any job.
I also continue to earn a recurring income on a previous sale of one wordpress goldmine referral, and a second referral who has taken the $1 trial and who may upgrade if he sees the benefit in all of this, so that came in at:
WPGM: £6.89
So overall passive income was £27.09 + £6.89 = £33.98
I also did 3 “sales page” writing contracts earning good 3 figure amounts, but I don’t want to include that, as I am tracking “passive income” with a strict focus on the 3 major ones of Adsense, Clickbank and Amazon (for now)
That concludes my “no effort” month (sorry had to put that in because it’s quite funny that I’ve earned even when I’ve not been working on them – imagine if I HAD BEEN!)
Anyway once this month of April has been dealt with and I’ve gotten over all the offline things I need to do I am hoping to start seeing some pretty big jumps in income.
As noted above, I am focusing on the 3 main totally passive opportunities of adsense, clickbank and amazon, but I will also report in the earnings from additional sources.
I am not sure if the nice clickbank sale was a fluke or is likely to continue but I sure intend to see things go in the right direction.
If you want to do the same as me, join wordpress goldmine or read my wordpress goldmine review.
THANKS!
Shaun
