I never planned on this website to generate as much money as it currently does. It is not one of my most profitable ventures in making money online, but for now it is generating the most income. Multiple Income Streams In this episode, I am going to tell you a little bit more information about my current income revenue stream Appraiserincome.com and this is one of my best ones right now. I still have a ton of different streams coming in and they all add up to a nice, but this was one of my first blogs where I really started from scratch, really took my time to build it out. I did not know which direction I was going to take it in and then really started to get more into affiliate marketing, figure out how I could actually monetize the website and it has been a huge success, especially over the past couple of years. Appraiserincome.com I am going to talk to you a little bit about Appraiser Income dot com. You can bring it up on your computer if you are there right now and kind of look around. It is not super flashy. It is not even super clean. It is a little bit cluttered. I never really did a huge amount of updating to the template since I started it quite a long time ago, so keep that in mind. Appraisers are not a very tech-savvy group of individuals and I found that sometimes having a website that looks almost amateurish helps with your sales. I once had a website back in the late 90s and it had a really amateurish feel and look to it and that site was raking in the dough. So I got it professionally redesigned. I still had all the links in primarily the same area. It just looked a lot of clearer and a lot more professional. Had some really nice looking graphics and stuff on it as well and my sales dropped almost in half. It was crazy and it kind of went towards people, the common man type-guys and I think I discouraged some of them or it turned them off from where it was a really an amateurish-looking website to more of a pro-looking corporate website. I think with the same as Appraiserincome.com people see me and they are able to identify with me. Since I am a real estate appraiser and they do not know necessarily that I am a professional Internet marketer so it, I think this kind of benefits me in this situation. It might not be the case 100 percent. I have not really spent the time that I should to really dig down and optimize this website. I could probably squeeze out another 25 percent or more of orders based on the traffic that I am receiving and the amount of time that people stay on the website reading through the articles. I really feel that I should be able to close more sales but it is working great in the meantime and I am kind of more focused on developing this, Your Boss Blows channel and network. I will be getting back to this, but I am also, my main focus of marketing on this website right now is mainly to get as many affiliates as possible to sign up with me and to either put my advertisements in their printed magazines or put my advertisements up on their website. Internet Bubble Bursts and I become an Appraiser The best thing that is working for me right now is if a vendor has a mailing list, if I could get them to promote my product or products directly to their mailing list. I could not only build up my mailing list at the same time but also split whatever sales I make with them and that has been working well. I will go into that a little bit in the future. In 2000, I got Appraiserincome.com and I was an appraiser at about four years at that point, and it was a great industry. I mean there was tons of work out there. I was telling everyone I knew you should become a real estate appraiser. You will really enjoy this type of work if you are into real estate. It was just being great being outside, being able to do what I want, set my own schedule and it was nice to be able to learn how to value properties, value real estate from my own investments.

I have numerous income streams, but right now this one is my home run! Even though it is a really small niche website, there is a variety of products and services I offer to make the big bucks! My Income Streams In this episode, I am going to te...

Setting up your work space, password management & free cloud storage. I am Bryan Knowlton with yourbossblows.com. This is the continuation of Episode No. 3. Marketing Your Videos I listen to a lot of different podcasts and the people I listen to are not constantly pushing products and services and trying to get you to go to their $1,000 seminars or mentoring program. Just as I do, they will mention different affiliate products or services where they get a small commission of what is sold. This is to cover the cost of the video expenses since the file sizes are huge. If you are planning to get into affiliate marketing using video, you need to find a service where you will be able to put those videos up for free and not totally get booted off it. If you are providing value and good service, you will probably be able to put them up on video sharing sites like You Tube and such, but they are fairly short. For me to be able to produce these videos, I need to pay for my own bandwidth and my own hosting of the videos. Since they are going on Roku and other internet TV services, I need to also cover the cost of that bandwidth. That is why I mention different affiliate products I use. Hopefully, if you decide to purchase them, they will kick back a little bit of that sale to me. It is usually a very small percentage but it all adds up. If I can open your doors to affiliate marketing you will come back in the future and who knows, maybe we will do business together. We will see how everything goes. What I really would like is if you could give me your feedback on the show. If you have any questions or comments, go to yourbossblows.com and put them there. Rate Me in iTune It would help out a ton if you rate me in iTunes and let others know what you think of this show. It is really kind of amateurish right now and we have not gotten into all the step-by-step teachings. This is my first time really doing a video other than short little videos, so we are both learning together. I hope to teach you everything I know about making money online because it has really changed my life and it only keeps getting better. The Netbook If you are doing this and you have a laptop computer, I really like the idea of working off the little notebook computers because they are really small and compact. You can take them anywhere. You do not look super goofy walking around all over town with this little tiny netbook. They are small and they can go anywhere. You can get a cool little case that looks like a day planner or something. I just really like using those products. The key though is to get one that has a good amount of memory. If it does not come with at least 2 gig or more, you could always buy it. It is really easy to open up the back and slide in a different memory chip. Those are the drawbacks to having one of those. You do not want to make it a full-time computer, but it is a good extra computer to have. Double Monitors Maybe you will be using multiple computers as I do. I have a desktop at home. I keep this presentation on a laptop just because when I go away on the weekend or if I go out of town, I like to have my work computer with me. I sometimes need to change things related to doing the appraisal reports and if I do not have it with me then it is kind of a pain. It just gives me more freedom to do what I want and that really works out well. I can complete an appraisal anywhere in the country or do any revisions on an appraisal and submit it without a problem. I can be completely out of town. So that is what I do at my office and I try to keep my office fairly clean and organized. It just makes things easier and the dual-monitor display really helps out. I have them turned vertical because my files are legal size for the appraisals. It is really simple for me to have my work file on one monitor and then have any data sources on the other. But when I am doing my affiliate marketing, or anything on the internet,

Providing Value is the Key I listen to a lot of different podcasts and the people I listen to are not constantly pushing products and services and trying to get you to go to their $1,000 seminars or mentoring program. Just as I do, they will mention different affiliate products or services where they get a small commission of what is sold.

What I really would like is if you could give me your feedback on the show. If you have any questions or comments, go to yourbossblows.com and put them there. Using a Netbook If you are doing this and you have a laptop computer, I really like the idea of working off the little notebook computers because they are really small and compact. You can take them anywhere. You do not look super goofy walking around all over town with this little tiny netbook. They are small and they can go anywhere. You can get a cool little case that looks like a day planner or something. I just really like using those products. The key though is to get one that has a good amount of memory. If it does not come with at least 2 gig or more, you could always buy it. It is really easy to open up the back and slide in a different memory chip. Those are the drawbacks to having one of those. You do not want to make it a full-time computer, but it is a good extra computer to have. For a list of great netbook computers that are currently on sale, please visit - Netbook Computer Sales on Buy.com Get Serious I could have a couple different information sources open, to include my blogs and my affiliate programs. It saves you a ton of time and it really does not cost that much. The monitors I have are like 21 inches, but they look like 21 to 23 inches. They are only like $125.00 and the display adapter is just a little video splitter that plugs into my laptop. I could have it go through USB. It is not a splitter, just a USB adapter. I have one coming off the laptop display and then the other one through the USB display. It works out really well. I could have three monitors if I want. If I wanted to use my laptop monitor too, but that I tried it for like a day and it was just totally different size, distracting off to the side, just didn’t work, but that will speed up your productivity quite a bit. But you want to have it at a nice quiet location inside of your house, away from all the distractions, no TV. If you are really serious about getting this done you are not going to be sitting in front of the TV working on your laptop, it just does not work. I mean you are going to be so distracted it is going to take you forever to get anything done. If you are just clearing out email or doing some random stuff, then, you could probably sit down with the wife and kids while everyone’s watching TV, and do some random stuff.

Set some goals, chunk them down and use mind maps to get them done! You really need to retain focus and get things done to make money online. Setting Goals This week on Episode 3 I am going to talk about what you want to do so you can maintain your focus as an entrepreneur. Always attracted to what is shiny and new distracts us – catches our attention, but you really need to stay focused if you are going to make money and be a successful Internet marketer and successful affiliate marketer. What I want to start you off with is just about setting some goals. If you just walked into this doing research and you are not 100 percent sure of the direction you are going to take, then I really suggest doing what I mentioned last week – the Amazon and EBay stuff. That is going to get you right into doing affiliate marketing and you will get a little taste of success and you will never go back. Once you make your first $1 – and everyone remembers their first $1 that they made off of the Internet – you will start setting goals like I need $10 a day. I need $100 a day. I need $500 a day. I need $1,000 a day. It does not have to be just money goals, but it is the simplest way for me. I don’t know why I have always thought in dollars. It is the easiest way I set most of my goals. Of course, completing projects is always very rewarding. Chunking If you instead have a huge to-do list with billions of things to do, it is good to set a goal for something that you want to get completed and then break down that goal into smaller goals or smaller lists. It is called chunking. If you have something that is going to take you a week to get done, you are going to want to break it down into steps – maybe by day and then break those down further into hourly things, or by task. You could say I need to get this domain name, Step 1. If you break it down that way, the chance of you getting things done is phenomenally higher than not setting up your goals that way. So, you are going to want to do that. I am also going to talk about my office set up and how you can get more work done at home if you are just doing this part time. You are not going to have an office dedicated towards making money online or affiliate marketing, Internet marketing. So, I am going to talk to you a little bit about that. This is going to be a little bit of a shorter show because I am going to really start driving into the step-by-step instructions. I thought there were a few more things I needed to cover and I am going to try to put out all these videos at once. I am not going to let them trickle out once every week or once every month. I am going to try and put them all out at the same time. Chances are you will just be watching these in order anyhow. MindMeister One thing that I did was that in addition to the chunking is I have been using some software. It is called MindMeister. You could use it to set out your projects and then you can go in there and edit. It is very easy just to add additional trees off of the main tree whether is it an item or goal. It is really simple to use and so if you have this huge list. I mean I am constantly breaking down my projects into chunks and sometimes I will have a page and I will be chunking it down trying to keep it all as neat as possible and by the time I get to it, it looks complete messy. It is hard to set the due dates and things like that and I just recently started using My Meister. By the time I finish setting up my structure, I can print it out and it is like a table of contents. It gives me my outline of exactly what I need to do. I use it for developing shows, like what I would like talk about. It gives me that structure on what I would like to talk about, where I am going with my ideas, so I can remain focused on everything I want to cover. It is a really good program. You can get it for free at usemindmapping.com or check out the show notes. That is one good service I use,

In this short video you will find out how to upgrade the Free trial of your Market Samurai to it's full potential. This software is great for keyword research, identifying a niche, checking up on your competition and more.

Make the most money with your Ebay Auctions! I am Bryan Knowlton with yourbossblows.com. This is the continuation of Episode No. 2. In this part of the show I am going to tell you about eBay and why I decided to use them. I told you already that I sold quite a few products on eBay and even some informational products. These days I use it primarily to buy toys – things that I necessarily do not think I should be spending my money on so I sell some of my old stuff to buy some new stuff. Everyone Has Stuff to Sell If you go under house you know everyone has stuff. Everyone has a lot of extra junk - things you have not used for years. Go through your office, your car, your shed, and your garage. If you have never sold anything on eBay, just make a little pile of about 20-30 items. Try to pick stuff that you really think people would like. If you are looking to make some good bank on eBay, you might try looking through something you think would be collectible – old coins or old stamps – collectible-type items. Then look through electronics, old games, baseball cards, old stuff you collected in the past. That is always good stuff but people buy everything. They buy vintage clothing. They really buy everything on eBay, so I have so much extra electronic stuff and old kids' toys. I will just go and donate it to a thrift store or to some people in the neighborhood who do frequent garage sales just to unload my stuff. From time to time when I want to get that extra toy then, I will sell stuff on eBay. So get those items together. If you never sold anything on eBay, give this a try because you could make it a full-time gig fairly easily. It Is Worth the Money There are tons of informational products out for this as well that ends on the improper review. Without that information, I doubt you would be able to take a review site to the level that you know Paula and Wanda did making over $10,000.00 a month just doing reviews on Amazon. You could easily do that as well. They have not been Internet marketers or affiliate marketers for their whole lifetime. They just started doing it, decided what worked, and kept on getting better and decided to sell that information. It is less than 100 bucks, and it is great information. The thing about eBooks and why I buy them personally is that you can spend all the time in the world doing research on the Internet. If you are thinking about doing affiliate marketing or you have been an affiliate marketer, you could easily volunteer that trap – that hole – as just not getting anything done. If you really want to get things done and make money and have an edge above the competition, it is worth spending 20, 30, 50, a 100 bucks to get that edge and to learn about people that have done these things and make a full-time living off of it. It is, to me, a huge difference from what I used to do. I used to do tons of research and I would procrastinate. There would always be something slowing me down until I started really trying to focus my energy on it. I heard maybe a year ago someone mention if I get one little nugget of information out of an eBook that I did not know before or I might never come across, it is worth it. That is completely worth the cost of the product. I do not just go out randomly and buy all these eBooks. I do a fair amount of research with the plate marketing. I stay up to date on what is selling and what is working. I listen to pod casts with really good Internet marketers that do reviews as well. There is a bunch of forms on the Internet that you will eventually come across. I will tell you about them as we get to that point – where you can go, where affiliates will review other affiliate's products. You can get so much really good information on that. If there is something that is working really well, like the Amazonian Profit Plan, you just have to give it a try. It is like all these affiliates are buying these products to resell.

How to make some extra money online with Ebay. In the continuation of Episode No. 2, I talk to you about selling on EBay and why I decided to use them. I explain the ease of getting started on eBay with just the items you already possess. I suggest you look around your house, your office, your car, your shed, and especially your garage. Pull out 20 to 30 items and pick out the things you really think people will want to buy. I remind you that people will buy just about anything on EBay. I also give you other alternatives to finding items to sell, such as going to thrift stores, swap meets, garage sales and Big Lots. You can find items just about any place. I teach you how to rely on the experience and expertise of others by purchasing eBooks. I explain that there is an eBook on just about everything. I explain the value of using research conducted by others instead of spending countless hours performing your own research, which is a waste of time and energy. I share various eBooks I have purchased and some of the information I have gained from them. I explain that just gaining a nugget or two from the eBook is worth the price itself and the time it saved of not having to research it. I also share with you that two of the goldmines I struck was when I purchased Mark Ostrovsky’s eBook Get Rich Click and Tom Barnes’ eBook EBay Fortune. I end the show by giving you some of the highlights.

I tell you about 2 quick and easy techniques to make an extra buck online! Episode 2a - How to make some easy cash online! I am Bryan Knowlton with yourbossblows.com. This is Episode No. 2. I am really excited about this episode. I am going to share two techniques I use to make extra money online. It is always nice if you are starting this venture out fresh and you do not want to put a lot of money into it or do not have any money to put into it. You could follow these simple techniques to actually get started with doing affiliate marketing and making money online. Two Simple Techniques In these two simple techniques you will be able to make enough extra money to purchase affiliate software, like Market Samurai – a great product that I am always talking about which will really set you above the competition and give you tons of research leverage. I am always going to be talking about Market Samurai since I just really love it. Sometimes at night when I am thinking about one of my websites, I cannot wait to get onto Market Samurai to find out what my competition is up to. It is really kind of crazy, but I love using it, so I am going to try to do a detailed tutorial at some point in the future on using it and taking advantage of everything that it has to offer. You can get a free trial in the meantime. Just visit my show notes. Today what I want to talk to you about is doing reviews of products to make extra money. I will also teach you to get your foot in the door about learning how to use hosting, buying a domain name, and installing WordPress. These are really simple things that I am going to be showing you in detail step-by-step over the next few shows. I am still giving you the information about me and some of the things I do to make an extra buck. We will get into more detailed techniques in future episodes. You could use either of these techniques for just part-time and bring in some extra cash, or you can make them full-time gigs. There are a lot of people who are using both of these techniques as a full-time job independently of each other. A lot of people do reviews for a living and they just sell affiliate products. Selling on EBay and Amazon Product Reviews A lot of people sell on eBay for a living and they even stick to just one product. It is really insane and it is not dead by far. Amazon was huge at one point. I was doing fairly well selling products on Amazon. I was even selling informational products on Amazon, and it got to a point where the competition moved in. I was not really following super-detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to maximize my income, so once it got to a certain level where I was not happy with what I was making; I just went into a new direction. But there is a lot of information out there now. There are a lot of power sellers sharing their information. You could quickly learn the techniques they use to maximize their profit on eBay. I am a real estate appraiser, as I stated in a previous show, and I still go to houses where these people are making a living from EBay. I walk in their house and they have all their products in one room that is dedicated to this and it is just filled with products. Most of the people I have seen doing it as a full-time living were selling either new or used computer equipment. I do not know why; it is just what I have come across. I do not see how. It would probably be one of the worst ideas at this point. The profit margins are so small. If you can get them at a good deal like they were, you could make a full-time living from it. Amazonian Profit Plan Not too long ago I was listening to a podcast on Coffee Talk with James Martel. He was interviewing Paula and Wanda, their friends from Australia. They were talking about how they write reviews for Amazon products. They will do their research, pick their products, and they will do like five at a time. They usually state – just do five at a time – you will be able to get them done.

Two simple techniques I use to make money online and how you can also! I used to do this full time, but now only use them to fund my new hardware and software purchases. It will give you the necessary experience needed to get started making money online. In episode No. 2 I share two simple techniques I use to make extra money online – writing reviews on products and selling through ebay. I show you how an eBook called the Amazonian Profit Plan revolutionized my selling business. I share some of the benefits I garnered from this eBook, including how to write reviews for Amazon products and get paid and how to get paid from the creation of shopping lists. I also give you alternatives if the Amazon Associate Program is not available in your area. I explain that just a few of the other affiliate networks I have used are Buy.com, ShareASale, LinkShare, ClickBank, and Commission Junction. I recommend using Blue Host or Host Gator as your hosting service and avoiding 1-on-1 because they have poor service and extremely slow servers. I continue to share techniques on choosing a domain name for your product reviews. If you are a technical expert or you specialize in any area, I recommend conducting product reviews along those lines. However, I also show you the secrets of finding the information you need in order to write an excellent review without ever purchasing the product itself. Take the steps to get started making money online. Buy your domain name, get your hosting at MyBlueHosting.com, install a WordPress blog and just start building it up.

In this first episode, I give you my background and let you know what you can expect in upcoming shows. There is No Magic Bullet I am Bryan Knowlton with http://yourbossblows.com. This is Episode No.1. I am going to give you a little bit of background information on me, how I have made my money online, a little bit of history about how long I have been doing this, and the different steps that I am going to show you to create a passive income online. What sets my teaching aside from other people out there is there are a lot of people teaching different systems on how to make money online. I am going teach you from start to finish what it takes. There’s no magic bullet. There are no get rich quick programs out there. You can get lucky and run into a great situation or have some really good knowledge that people are willing to pay for but what it really comes down to is “Do you have something you could offer to people that will solve a problem or create value?” Maybe you have some type of knowledge you could share with other people that you could sell to them. The great thing about having a passive income is it gives you the ability to do whatever you want, when you want. The Man Behind Your Boss Blows I have been self-employed for about 20 years. I have always been able to take a vacation, do something with my kids, and visit the family when I was not working on a current project, but it was not the same constraints of working for an employer. I could set my own hours and set my own schedule. I do not know the last time I used an alarm clock, which is kind of nice but there is a lot of work involved. It is not something that you are going to be able to do right overnight or start making the big bucks tomorrow, but what I am going to do is teach you realistic ways to make money online. I have about five to seven different streams of income coming in. I could be out at the beach. I could be off on vacation and no matter what, that money is still coming in on a monthly basis. Internet Marketing I am a real estate appraiser, so I market Internet marketing tips and advice towards other appraisers. Almost every industry out there, any home industry, (pretty much any industry), if you know someone that, for example, is a carpenter or something or installs carpeting, even better. Most likely, they are not going to know how to market their services but you can help them with that. If you know anything about the Internet, it really does not take a lot to become a local search marketer. You could help them with their advertising campaigns. You could help them with building a web site, creating that exposure they need. There is a huge difference for people that install carpeting. If you are showing up No. 1 in Google, you are going to be busy and you are going to be making a very good income. You are going to be able to pick and choose what type of carpet installation jobs you want to do. If you are No. 10, you will still be getting some business off the Internet, but it is nothing like the No. 1 position. If you could help someone in your area get the No. 1 position, they are going to pay you a lot of money. There are a lot of different things like that, maybe in your own business or your own employer where you could really help people out with Internet marketing. However, that is only one small area of making money online. Informational Packets You can also create an information product. I created a directory of companies that order appraisals. Appraisers could spend their lifetime searching down this information. I started talking with other appraisers, searching on the Internet, making lots of phone calls and I created my own directory. I now sell it for $100.00 a copy. That alone brings me over $3,000.00 to $4,000.00 a month just for that one informational product. You can do something like that. There are so many different ways to do it. Benefits of Following the Show If you follow my shows,
