			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Time&#8217;s up.?? That&#8217;s it.?? Game, set, match.</p>
<p>That had to be the fastest 30 days of my life.?? Did I make it??? Yes&#8230;..and no.</p>
<p>I made more money over the last 30 days than I&#8217;ve ever made online.?? I am very happy about this.?? At the same time, my credit card bill came yesterday and I&#8217;ve also SPENT more money than I&#8217;ve ever spent online&#8230;on PPC, subscriptions, products, etc.</p>
<p>Can my family and I live off of the income I&#8217;m making now??? Probably not.?? Although, hell, I didn&#8217;t have any loan closings last month and none this month either so, for all intent and purposes, we ARE living off of the money I&#8217;ve made online.?? My wife also works which is fortunate.</p>
<p>We have reached a few decisions.?? First, I AM going to get a new job.?? It&#8217;s clear that I dislike my current job or I wouldn&#8217;t have started this whole online journey almost a year ago.?? I&#8217;ve actually sent some resumes to a few local .com&#8217;s and SEO firms so I can try to transition into something I really LOVE doing.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve got to admit&#8230;I&#8217;ve picked up some pretty wicked SEO skills over the last few months.?? I can also put together websites in the blink of an eye.?? Fortunately, I&#8217;ve also got about 8 years of management experience and 15 years of work experience overall so I think we&#8217;ll be OK.</p>
<p>Second, this journey will continue.?? I&#8217;m not there today, I might not be there tomorrow, but I WILL get there.?? I&#8217;m closer now than I was 30 days ago.?? I&#8217;d be even closer if I had more time to work on it, but I&#8217;m not ready to walk away from a job and benefits with three kids to feed.</p>
<p>Third, guess what?</p>
<p>I have a gift for YOU.?? Yes YOU.?? For what, you ask??? For sticking it out with me, helping me along, leaving those positive comments, and, for a few of you, taking the extra time to work with me, give me your new product for free, etc.</p>
<p>So get ready.?? Head on over to my NEW website at&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.MontysMegaMarketing.com" target="_blank">www.MontysMegaMarketing.com</a></p>
<p>Bookmark it and read the first post.?? There you will find my gift to you.</p>
<p>I leave you with two quotes&#8230;</p>
<p>1) &#8220;Do or do not, there is no &#8216;try&#8217;.&#8221; - Yoda</p>
<p>2) &#8220;Never give up&#8230;..NEVER.&#8221; - Winston Churchill</p>
<p>Now head over to <a href="http://www.MontysMegaMarketing.com" target="_blank">www.MontysMegaMarketing.com</a>!?? Hurry!</p>
<p>Thanks everyone.</p>
<p>Chris Monty<br />

<p>P.S. - If you want to be the NEXT one to give this a shot, just e-mail us.?? You can document your progress right here!?? Let us know.?? Thanks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>They say it&#8217;s always in the last place you look.?? Well, that&#8217;s definitely true of making money online.?? I found some things over the last day or two that should pay off nicely.</p>
<p>One of them is an idea I got from reading <a title="Overnight Affiliate Cash" href="http://www.esource1.com/oac" target="_blank">Overnight Affiliate Cash</a>.?? This one could be big but I have to wait a few weeks to see how well it pays off.</p>
<p>Another tactic is something I got from my friends over at <a title="Black Hat Zen" href="http://www.blackhatzen.com" target="_blank">Black Hat Zen</a>.?? If you haven&#8217;t gone over there and checked them out, definitely do so.?? Don&#8217;t worry if you&#8217;re not a &#8216;black hatter&#8217;.?? They&#8217;re not nearly as black hat as most other places.</p>
<p>So the question now is, do I go in on Monday and tell my boss to bite my shiny metal&#8230;.</p>
<p>Or do I wait until I&#8217;ve got benefits lined up for the famly??? Or do I just stay and work for a while to make sure that these income streams hold up?</p>
<p>All very good questions.?? These are things I will discuss with the wife over the weekend.?? Stay tuned for our exciting conclusion&#8230;lol.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You know, this might just work.?? How did we get down to four days already??? Luckily, that puts me on a Sunday&#8230;lol.?? I really didn&#8217;t plan that too well.</p>
<p>So how are things going??? That&#8217;s what the PM&#8217;s I get all day long are asking.?? How much are you making??? What are you doing?</p>
<p>OK, why not.?? I&#8217;ll just tell you.</p>
<p>I seem to be averaging about $200 - $250 a day now from a couple of methods in Month One of <a title="Income Greed" href="http://www.esource1.com/incomegreed" target="_blank">Income Greed</a>.?? There is still one method I want to try too&#8230;so hopefully that will be going up.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve also started two other ventures that seem to be bringing about $50 - $100 a day.?? There is another model I&#8217;ve adopted that yields about $1,000 a week.?? These two methods are slightly less consistent at the moment, however.</p>
<p>This final week will be the test.?? If I can keep these income levels steady and hopefully add to them a bit, I should be in good shape.</p>
<p>Stay tuned.?? We&#8217;re coming down to the wire now!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Where did the time go?  There is just under a week left and things are really picking up.  It&#8217;s funny how once you break a small barrier, say $10, $20, or even $50 a day, the other barriers seem to fall that much more quickly.  You also seem to attract a lot of attention&#8230;not all of it good.</p>
<p>So, things continue to go well.  I continue to stay in touch with the owner of a very popular online website and have also been in touch with another guru who sort of crept up out of the woodwork.</p>
<p>I will say that my progress thus far has been directly attributable to 1) use of <a title="BlogSlammer" href="http://www.esource1.com/blogslammer" target="_blank">BlogSlammer</a>, 2) use of one of the methods included in Month One of <a title="IncomeGreed" href="http://www.esource1.com/incomegreed" target="_blank">IncomeGreed</a>, 3) a third method still &#8220;in development&#8221;.?? While they are separate systems, they are also tied together in a sense.</p>
<p>I also have one last venture that I&#8217;m attempting to ramp up this week.?? So we shall see, my friends.?? If nothing else, I hope to go out with a bang!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been another big couple of days.?? I&#8217;m really happy with the way things are going right now.</p>
<p>As it turns out, a lot of my white hat, link-building and SEO tactics over the last several months are paying off in a big way.?? I recently noticed a huge uptick in traffic to one of my websites.?? I analyzed my stats for keyword analysis and noticed that this site is now ranked at #4 out of 9,620,000 organic results on Yahoo.?? On Google, my Ezine article for the same site is at the bottom of the second page of results.</p>
<p>Just when I thought things couldn&#8217;t get any better, a completely DIFFERENT site is now ranked at #4 out of 14,800,000 organic results on Yahoo.?? I&#8217;m really seeing some nice traffic now.</p>
<p>I also just got a program called <a title="Blog Slammer" href="http://www.esource1.com/blogslammer" target="_blank">BlogSlammer</a> which should greatly accelerate the link-building campaigns for a few of my other sites.?? I still can&#8217;t get over how powerful this thing is.?? The edu links that it found for me are really paying off already in Yahoo (not the sites mentioned above).</p>
<p>The fun doesn&#8217;t stop there.?? I was also contacted by the owner of an insanely popular humor site, the name of which I will not mention, who wanted to give me some advice.?? Exciting stuff.</p>
<p>Last but not least, I was given a sneak peek at <a title="Internet Marketing Uncut" href="http://www.internetmarketinguncutnow.com" target="_blank">Internet Marketing Uncut</a>, the latest product from Tristan Bull.?? This is a step-by-step look at building your internet business.?? Some of you might have seen the BeBiz videos that were out a couple of months ago.?? That was a series of 4 or 5 videos on how to create an internet business from scratch.</p>
<p><a title="Internet Marketing Uncut" href="http://www.internetmarketinguncutnow.com" target="_blank">Internet Marketing Uncut</a> is going to be a whopping 47-video series released on September 1st!?? It will cover everything from &#8220;The Secret Product Creation Method&#8221; to &#8220;List Building 101&#8243; to &#8220;Traffic Generation&#8221;.?? Not to mention my favorite topics, &#8220;The Power of Outsourcing&#8221; and &#8220;How to Make It Big&#8221;.</p>
<p>Exciting stuff coming down the pike as the clock ticks down for me.?? Stay tuned, boys and girls, and please keep your hands and arms inside the car until the ride comes to a complete stop.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As my favorite pro wrestling commentator says, it certainly does seem as though business is about to pick up.?? Things are going well&#8230;and gaining momentum.?? What am I doing?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a little complicated but I will try to sum up. I am combining a couple of different methods to get the results I am now seeing, which are fairly impressive at this early stage&#8230;</p>
<p>1) The first ingredient is a little bit of local market domination.?? These are variations on ideas that I picked up from my good friends over at <a title="Black Hat Zen" href="http://www.blackhatzen.com" target="_blank">Black Hat Zen</a>.</p>
<p>2) I am also using a piece of mega-software called <a title="Blog Slammer" href="http://www.esource1.com/blogslammer" target="_blank">Blog Slammer</a>.?? Holy crap.?? So it&#8217;s a little black hat, you say??? It&#8217;s pretty mild as far as BH tactics go but this thing packs quite a wallop.?? It even found some .edu backlinks for my site within 5 minutes of the first run!</p>
<p>3) When all is said and done, I will be using one of the Month One methods from <a title="Income Greed" href="http://www.esource1.com/incomegreed" target="_blank">Income Greed</a> to add a big piece of extra coin into the mix.?? I did have my doubts about this program at first, and it&#8217;s safe to say that not ALL of the methods given in Month One are original.?? I didn&#8217;t have much luck with the Yahoo Answers method, to be sure.?? However, THIS method (which I will not reveal here) is something that can be used over and over again&#8230;and it&#8217;s something that&#8217;s so simple I can&#8217;t believe I didn&#8217;t think of it.</p>
<p>So stay tuned friends.?? The deadline is fast-approaching and I&#8217;ve still got some distance to cover.?? It does surely seem, though, that &#8220;business&#8230;is about to pick up&#8221;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I&#8217;ve taken a cue from one of my friends over at <a title="Blackhat Zen" href="http://www.blackhatzen.com" target="_blank">Blackhat Zen</a>??and am going after the local market, my hometown that is.?? Despite the name of his site, this is an amazingly &#8220;white hat&#8221; idea.</p>
<p>Why compete with internet marketers from all over the world when I can make a big splash in a little pond??? I&#8217;ve actually made some good connections with a couple of local website developers who run a large-scale local website here that&#8217;s just starting to go big-time.?? There are some possibilities here.</p>
<p>As for Income Greed, the Yahoo Answers method didn&#8217;t pay off so well, but some have said that I was reading the instruction too literally.?? This could be true.</p>
<p>I am now trying one of the other &#8216;income streams&#8217; suggested for Month One, which looks promising.?? We&#8217;ll see.?? Time is running out&#8230;but it will be lots of fun either way!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OK, so am I going to make it? I truly don&#8217;t know. It&#8217;s not looking great at the moment but the results aren&#8217;t that bad.</p>
<p>In all, I&#8217;ve had a $500+ day, a $400+ day, and several days over $100. I&#8217;ve also had several days between $0 and $50.</p>
<p>As for this Income Greed experiment, after 2+ days of dropping aff links on Yahoo Answers&#8230;nothing. I admit that all of my questions have been answered quickly, but specific instructions what to say, what offers to push, etc. have been lacking.</p>
<p>As for my associate who was trying a different method from I.G., I haven&#8217;t had a recent update but at last check, nothing was happening there either.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s early yet, but I have yet to be impressed.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m also flipping a couple of domain names for which I have high hopes, as I think they are good ones. This can be turned into a long-term business model, if done properly.</p>
<p>I also have a pretty awesome idea for a local, niche website but it&#8217;s going to take some time to develop. We&#8217;ll have to see how that goes.</p>
