I made this short video about my first night in Las Vegas for Affiliate Summit West 2012. The convention hasn't even started yet, but I had the great opportunity to learn more about making money online with mobile traffic and offers. The private session was put on by Tracking 202, Jumptap and NeverBlue. Since the mobile market is exploding right now and there are a bunch of affiliates making a bunch of money pushing mobile offers to mobile traffic, I just had to attend. It was a really good presentation about using the tracking information provided by NeverBlue and Tracking 202 to find out exactly where your offers are converting the best. Using the tracking systems along with a company that sells mobile traffic, like JumpTap, you can efficiently manage your spending and targeting to make sure you are getting the biggest bang for your buck. This is a little more of an advanced topic to cover prior to covering the steps to just get a website online, but if you are even thinking of targeting the mobile market to earn money online, then this is a great place to start. The main thing to remember when working with mobile is that offers tend to go stale quicker than offers that you are promoting on websites. That means you really need to keep a close eye on your analytics to make sure to fine tune where you traffic is going at all times. But the analytics that is offered by Tracking 202 is amazing. You can find out exactly what offers are converting down to the service provider on the phone, what operating system it runs and even the model # of the phone itself. You can also find out what hours and days convert the best and when purchasing traffic and promoting offers, you will be able to purchase only the specific traffic that converts the best. You might find a ring tone offer might due the best on the verizon network, Samsung Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.0 OS. So you will want to only purchase that traffic (and of course all the other profitable traffic based on your analytics) and shut off the rest. You can also tweak the flow of traffic if you find that you are not making money between 8am - 3pm weekdays and all day Sunday. You can shut off the traffic you are purchasing at that time as well so your offers are not shown during those periods. This is an amazing time to get in to mobile marketing. Make sure to visit the companies listed above for more information if you want to learn more about making money online with mobile traffic. I have a very busy day tomorrow and will be covering all the details in my upcoming videos! One thing I found out was that the upload speed at both my hotel and the Affiliate Summit pressroom is really slow for video uploads, so some videos might be delayed by a day. I will get them up as soon as possible so you can get those money making ideas as soon as possible! Thanks again for visiting, now go make some money! Bryan Knowlton Producer – Your Boss Blows

Hey Everyone! I know it has been a little while since my last video, so I just wanted to give you an update on what I have been working on and what is to come. I had a delay in making more videos on how to earn money online because I was trying to get my public ROKU channel approved. At the time this was my primary market as I wanted to do things differently from the standard podcasts that are available at this time. Looking back, I should have delayed the release of my iTunes and YouTube make money online videos until I got the ROKU channel completed so there would be no delays in production. I found that there was a huge desire for how-to videos on how to earn money online and thousands of people downloaded the podcasts and videos. I set some goals and decided I would start creating my step-by-step series starting in January after Affiliate Summit West 2012 #ASW2012. I thought it would be a great idea to share my Affiliate Summit experience with you and relay all the information that I learn while I am out there. It is going to be in Las Vegas and I am very excited about the trip. While I am at Affiliate Summit, I will also conduct some interviews with some big names in the affiliate marketing industry and hopefully conduct some other interviews and make additional videos on my experiences while I am there from my Hotel and from the show itself. I can't wait! If you are really serious about learning Affiliate Marketing, it is a great idea to attend these shows. You will learn a ton of great information and meet a lot of great people in the industry. Another thing I wanted to let everyone know if they were thinking about the Amazonian Profit Plan and they were discouraged in California since at the time of my last videos, Amazon shut down their Amazon Associates affiliate system to residents in California due to sales tax issues. The Governor must have heard the angry voices of over 70,000 affiliates and the bill was not passed and Amazon opened its doors back up to California Affiliate Marketers. So if you are in California and were thinking of writing reviews on Amazon Products as a method to earn money online, then get started! I still think it is one of the best ways to get your feet wet and start learning about how you can make money online. It will only get better from there. Until next time, Just Do It!!!

I have numerous ways that I am currently making money off of my websites. On my appraiser blog I sell info products, related services as well as affiliate products and services and even a little adsense. This video is a continuation of Video Episode 2b Multiple methods I use to make money off my websites The AMC directory is not the only way I make money off of that website. It is true that it is $100 for the book and you get the electronic version as well. However, I do sell just the electronic version alone for $79.95. I also have affiliate products and services on the website that I make money off of and some pages have Google Adsense. There are really high trafficked webpages within the blog that I do not have any products or services for – just much more information. I will put up adsense and people could clink on links and I would get a little tiny bit of revenue that way. The main way I am going to double the income on this website over the next six months is I am creating a series of additional products and you can do this with any industry. Making Money Through Affiliate Programs What really works well with my appraisers is just to get them more business and more customers. That is the way it is going to be with almost any type of blog that you write, unless you are focusing on a product. On those product ones or the hobbies, you are mainly going to be focusing a lot on information. Then they could buy guides if they need them on how to modify something, like maps of certain locations – how to guides. There are a lot of different products that you could create for your customer base. You are probably going to make the majority of your money through affiliate programs – selling products. Or you are going to purchase those products yourself and resell them. Or you are going to get products made somewhere and sell them. There is a huge variety of ways that you could make money off of your blog. Off of this I already have a link to another website that I have made called appraiserwebsites. I just throw out some quick blogs for appraisers with WordPress blog with like five pages. It is a static. It is actually not a blog. It is a static website using WordPress. It has basic things like the order page, information, services, service area, about page, contact page, and their home page. I optimize it usually with an optimizer plugin, built into WordPress or added to WordPress and I bring in a residual income that way. The website is originally worth $29.95 a month and I just got tired of hassling with expired credit card numbers and staying up on top of people that did not pay their bills on time. So I just made it a flat $260.00 a year and that is pretty cheap and it is to a point where it is really not worth my time to create those types of websites but I do love the appraisal industry so much and I really appreciate the people that have helped me and I really like to help people in general. For $260 a year, I will build an appraiser a website and get them listed in the search engines. I really am trying to show people that are interested in how powerful the Internet could be if used properly that I am willing to take a pay cut to show these people. Whatever you put out there has value, even if you are practically giving stuff away. It is going to come back to you one way or another. It just always does and so that is kind of the mentality that I work by. Inexpensive information products for upsells In addition to the appraiser websites, I have a new info product. It is only $25 and tells people how to get the most out of working with an appraisal management company, how to negotiate with them, and what to do when problems arise. It is a pretty big report. It is about 25 to 30 pages. It is just filled with information that most appraisers would never think of or consider. One big consideration that I found is that if I turn down all that lower paying work,

In addition to the info product I created for my blog, I also make money online by offering additional services and products to my appraisers. I also bring in a good amount of passive income through affiliate sales of related products through Amazon and by partnering with insurance, education and other suppliers needed by appraisers. This is the continuation of Episode No. 4 Making more money off my blog The AMC directory is not the only way I make money off of that website.

One big consideration that I found is that if I turn down all that lower paying work, where they are trying to get an appraiser to go out and do an appraisal for 50 percent or 25 percent of an appraisal fee, if you accepted all those and worked your butt off you might make a certain amount of money. I have found that if I counteroffer every single one of those orders and tell them, look, based on complexity I cannot do it for that much, but I can do it for this much and I could have it back to you by this date. I double my income doing that and work probably a quarter as much. It is just simple math but most appraisers are not willing to take that risk. They are going to say, okay,

Making lots of cash off my Appraiser Income blog changed everything. It went from a boring blog making hardly any sales to a highly engaging portal with lots of sales. I could quit my day job with this income stream alone! This is a continuation of Video Episode 4a Creating My Own Vendor List At the time I decided to start creating my own list of appraisal management companies, I had no intention to resell it. My intention was to stay in business. What I did was I starting going, this is back when I was in Arizona fixing up a rental property, and I was planning on retiring out there but just cannot live in Arizona. I love it out there. I love the desert but nothing beats the beach, so I had to come back. But while I was out there, this is when those changes went down and I had to find these appraisal management companies as quickly as possible otherwise I would not be able to make my two mortgages that I had at the time, all my nice built up debt and whatever else I had going on. It was a very stressful time, but I knew I just had to hoof the pavement, pick up my phone, try making some phone calls and find as many appraisal management companies as possible. So I started calling appraisers around the country and asking them how are they getting their work. What appraisal management companies are they using? I made sure to call appraisers that were located outside of Arizona. I called all my friends first that were appraisers that are now out of business unfortunately, but at that time they were getting some work trickling in so I first started by calling all them. Then I would call appraisers right out of the phone book, search Google and ask if they were interested in exchanging information. They would give me some of the AMCs (Appraisal Management Companies) that they were using. I would give them some of mine and I would do that all day long. Then what I started to do was I built up a list. I could still do appraisals for companies that were doing FHA appraisals and I could still do bankruptcy and divorce and date of death type appraisals for people. So, I made a big list in Google with company names and addresses in Maricopa County which is a huge area, has Phoenix in it, and I just started driving around and made a map in Google so I could go from one location to the next, to the next, to the next. I just went door to door and if anyone was using an appraisal management company, I got the name of the company, who they were sending their appraisal requests to get fulfilled by local appraisers. I built up a huge list that way. That compiled with doing the phone calls, sending out emails, doing searches on the internet, I just built up a very good list of appraisal management companies and I started getting flooded with work. More Work Than I Could Handle I had more work than I could handle and it was great because at that time I was starting a new business in Arizona and I had my existing company still in California. Occasionally I would drive out to California to do like a $1,000 appraisal because I did not want to just give that to one of my friends or something at the time. I needed the money. Then I showed my directory to my friends and they thought it was really great and suggested I sell it. I realized I should put that on my blog. I went on my blog and I created a sales page, threw it up there and I was making sales from time to time, nothing huge. It was decent. Originally I only offered a book version. Originally I had this book version because I was worried that if people got the book they could easily duplicate it and that would not be good. The Original Product In the beginning what set my list aside from other companies is that I put information on how to get more orders from appraisal management companies, errors to avoid, some marketing information, how to get more internet business. I have built it up since the original product went out, but this is the 2011.

Letting people know more about myself really helped sales and when I partnered with others to sell my products, sales really went through the roof. This is the continuation of Episode 4a Creating My Own Vendor List At the time I decided to start...
