Is My Daughter An Internet Entrepreneur In The Making?
“Hey Dad, could I show you something?” said Rachael with glee (I was busy writing an email copy for one of my health niches).
“Dearest, I’m kind of finishing something important right now…just give me a minute, will ya?”
Moments later….
“Rachel, where did you get that money?” I was staring at Rachael’s Paypal account with over 2 grand in it.
You see, Rachael was never interested in any of my online ventures despite my attempts in trying to inspire her to make her mark at this Internet marketing game.
She was most disinterested in my online ventures and you could literally see her rolling her eyes over the dinner table whenever I talked about my work online. (I did not want to seem that I was trying too hard but knowing how lucrative online business can be, I hate to see her end up in a dead end JOB (just over broke) just like I used to…)
You know how every parent want the best for their children but they never seem to be able to sometimes take your intentions well. Especially when they’re at the age where adulthood is just a stone throw away and they seem to know what they want and they want you to just respect their decisions.
Alright, I’m going to just cut to the chase and tell you what she did and I am confident anyone of you could have easily pulled this off.
All it took for her was just fill out a simple form, send her friends some gifts and BANG, 2 grand in her Paypal account some time later.
Unbelievable? Well that was my initial reaction. Anything that seems too good to be true, has got to be shady.
Anyway, after asking Rachael how she did it, I realized there’s a niche within the online marketing community called “Incentivized Freebie Websites” where sites offering free products or cash make money from advertising.
Click here and sign up for this free notebook offer (it’s free) and you’ll understand what I mean.
You can also get paid more and increase your chances by signing up for another free offer.
Click here and sign up for this free XBox or Cash.
As part of their promotions they introduce consumers to various advertisers’ products and services, and in return they are paid a commission for each new “lead” they generate.
This is how they make money and can afford to give away free products and still make a profit for themselves. Some of them actually make quite a bit of money.
For example, they might earn $50 each time they refer a new user to AOL even though the user only signed up for a free trial and didn’t pay anything at all.
Oftentimes the user who is trying to earn a free gift gives up for one reason or another before getting the required number of referrals. In this case the IFW collects some commissions and doesn’t have to send the user anything, so it’s pure profit for them.
That’s how Rachel managed to rake in over 2 grand. I guess she does catch on my entrepreneur bug after all..=)
I will fill you on more details later……gotta go keep myself fit (just signed up for a wheelchair racing fund raising competition).
And if you have any questions, just post them in the comments section below.
I’ll talk to you later.

Hey Craig,
I stumbled upon your blog and have really been enjoying it. Say congrats to your daughter too!
I’ve been thinking about trying out a couple of your recommended products and was wondering do you test some of the techniques and strategies in products you sell before introducing them to the public.
The reason I asked is because so many people say that and you know most are lying, but you seem to be an honest guy who tells it like it is
Actually, I was thinking about purchasing your product first, because I’m tired of giving the ever changing Goog my money.
Thanks!

Hi Ruth, thanks for your comments.
Yes, I do use them(you’re covered with money back guarantee for every product recommended) and I do agree that there are many scammers out there.
Truth be told, some are actually Gurus who recommends stuffs just to make a quick buck out of you. Here are some of my thoughts:
1.) Gurus usually already have a big list and they have many affiliates driving traffic for them, and unlike us, they do not have to worry about traffic therefore, they do not need to implement any traffic strategies they recommend.
2.) If you notice, gurus never reply your emails because they’re too buy making quick bucks out of you with every email blast.

Hi Craig! Interesting post and you got me going, but then cautious person that I am, I started looking this program up online - the good and the bad. Don’t know but it could be your daughter “got lucky” or maybe the reviews online have caused these companies to rethink their strategies. For the most part, reviews are heavy on the negative.
Would be nice it is was real and lasting… keep us posted!

I’m nibbling . Have paid for a Masters and got a cancelled check to date.
This appears to be a refreshing change.
Cybersecurity had best be everyone’s concern.

In case you are not aware, there are trading forums for ifw’s. These places have people trade with each other referrals for referral or money.Many people do this as a full time venture. If your interested in knowing more, contact me and we can help each other make money.
This really is “real and lasting”

You can also try
Hi Alexis, I’m sorry I don’t get you. Could you be more specific in which kind of payment processor you’re looking for and for what purpose?

Hi Craig,
I guess your daughter is at an age where ‘cool’ is the word. My daughter is into that now. I hope that once I am able to make good money from the Internet, I want to be able to teach my 4 kids how to do it so that they will have an edge into adulthood.
Thanks for sharing.

Craig,
I know anything is possible on the internet as long as you stick to it. Knowledge is power and I’m glad you share. How long have you been doing this?
Thanks again for all the info.

I think there are millions of ways to make money on the Internet.
And like you said about niches all over the place, I think there are. I think new niches appear almost daily.
Thanks for the article.

Good evening Craig
I was so anxcious, just to drop back in my chair, as South Africa is not on the list of the links re OfferCentric sites. How can we convince them to add our country to their list of countries?
Wow, but I AM disappointed!!!!
Can’t you try, please???

There is currently no solution for this as of right now as you could drop an email to their support to ask them.

Good morning Craig,
Whoever referred you to my mail is certainly the universe’s response to my still to be realized dream and desires for financial progress.
What a superb and fantastic site you have. Thanks to you and to the universe.
I long dream of availing the bounty from the internet but unfortunately I came from the Philippines which is most of the time excluded from the list of priorities because of societal biases and other human failings currently perceived to be with us.
Nevertheless, I kept on searching for answers. And I am certain that the friendly nature of the universe is busy putting in place solutions to my puzzle.
Thank you so much. You’re indeed a gift for me and for the many more around the world.
Allan
