E-Whore is for the Poor

     I am going to start off this post saying I REALLY DON’T like E-Whoring. I just have a problem with talking to other men and getting them to sign up to my leads while promising them things I just wouldn’t ever want to be caught doing.

Lets Begin…

What is an E-Whore and what does it mean to E-Whore?

  • An E-Whore is someone who pretends or gives the notion that they are an attractive woman when they are really a 54 year old male from India (kidding). These people find highly populated places and pretend to be someone they are not in order to convince those users to fill out certain offers which make the E-Whore some money. The act of this is called “E-Whoring”. Most E-Whoring is done with E-Mail/Zip submits and dating site leads because they are easy to convert with horny males.


What are the Pros and Cons of E-Whoring?

  • Pros: If your are able to successfully trick a large amount of people a day then you can actually make $100-$200 a day by getting only 50-100 people to complete your lead. You can also set your own schedule and make what you want when you want it.
  • Cons: It is considered fraud by companies and advertisers, so IF your are caught then you account with that affiliate company will be terminated. Also… you gotta say some gay stuff to be successful. If you are not very comfortable with yourself then you really need to rethink this whole method. I really have a problem with telling guys how cute they are, which is why I stay away from this method.

    NOTE:Please don’t think this is a post encouraging you all to start E-Whoring because its the complete opposite. I am simply writing this to share what I have picked up on my road to success. Since I have no success yet then you know I don’t think very highly of the methods I am covering…. YET.

So who do I think should start to E-Whore?

  • I actually have an answer for that. 18+ GIRLS who don’t make any money and sit on the computer all day chatting to random guys who tell them how gorgeous they are. Yep, those girls. I mean they are doing it already, so why not get paid for it. They wont have to pretend to like men and now they can say they are doing it for the money rather than JUST the attention. Difference from an Attention-Whore and an E-Whore is that one gets paid ;) . It is simple to do and I will tell you how…

Step 1: Sign up to an Affiliate Marketing company ( I won’t promote any companies in this post because it’s a black hat method and they frown on that. HINT: Links in sidebar *WOOPS* ). This will take a few days since most have to contact you via phone or instant messenger. You have to get approved so please use your real information.

Step 2: Find a lead or Campaign that you would like to get people to sign up for and that would make you some money. I suggest you use an E-Mail or Zip Code Submit ad because you get money if the people fill out ONLY their E-Mail or Zip Code. It’s easy and they take little time to fill out.

Step 3: Find people. Go anywhere that will allow you to talk to many people at once. Chat rooms, Myspace, Facebook, Stickam, and countless other places. Set up a profile and tell them your AIM SN so they all come to you. Anything that will allow you to reach many people at once is good for this method.

Step 4: Flirt… You need a back story that will give you a real reason for them wanting to fill out your ad. you will start off flirting and gradually move into a story of why you need them to do this for you. One I like is that you are a model and you are sponsored by Sears (I said sears because I know there is an ad out there that has to do with voting for Sears or Lowes and you want to be as specific as possible). Tell them that part of your contract says that you need to do certain promotions and you need 100 people to fill out the ad or you will lose your sponsorship with them. Something like that and you can promise them pictures after they do it, if you haven’t already sent them stuff.

BOOM!! MONEY BABY

PLEASE: If you are serious about Affiliate Marketing LOOK FOR OTHER METHODS AND STAY AWAY FROM E-Whoring

    I am a noob for sure, but even I can tell you that this just seems dirty and kind of a crappy way to make a living. For girls doing this for free then I say hey WHY NOT! I am a bum, but even something so simple like this can turn me away.

Lesson Learned: E-Books Should Burn

Posted by The Bum | Affiliate Marketing Tips | Wednesday 19 August 2009 5:24 am
     I’m going to say this again. I am a NOOB. I am learning and I and making mistakes. This blog isnt being written by a pro or a company. It is being written by an unemployed…scratch that, self employed 23 year old college student. I am going through all the same things you are going [...]

     I’m going to say this again. I am a NOOB. I am learning and I and making mistakes. This blog isnt being written by a pro or a company. It is being written by an unemployed…scratch that, self employed 23 year old college student. I am going through all the same things you are going through right now and I am getting taken for rides the same way you are also.

     The biggest lesson I think I need to share with my readers is that in order to be an affiliate marketer, you have to be the best liar you know. Yea, a dirty… filthy…LIAR. This is good to know on both ends of the spectrum. A person who is beginning their journey into affiliate marketing and a person who has been making money with CPA advertising.

     For the person who is beginning their journey, don’t believe anything you hear. Garenteed 90% of what someone tells you is either a lie or not the whole truth. I will tell you right now that when I go over methods with you that most will be things people already know and already have done. I am going to try them, but I am going to try to find the reason why it works for those people as well. You are wondering why I would need to do that. Well, it is because if you bug someone long enough they will tell you a method they use, but it will never be a method they actually make their own money with. Usually something they know other small time people do to generate some kind of money, but never anything they do on a daily basis. Another thing you have to look out for is partial methods. Ever been told to make a poll about something popular and have a lead behind it to make some money? Yeaaaah… that doesn’t work too well when you aren’t generating the right keywords, setting up the landing page correctly or using a lead towards your target. People tell you about a method, but the whole method is much more complex. In order to have a method you must know every single variable and think about it all the way through. It is not just step one… step 2… step 3 = MONEY MONEY MONEY. That is why I don’t like E-Books. Everything that you would spend 20-$200 on, you can find for free on a website like this or in other free downloadable E-Books. Most are vague and most skip the money making variables. The reason for this… SATURATION BABY!!. Smart marketers know when to sell their ideas. They are not going to sell an idea that people don’t know already. They will give ideas that have been used by a lot of people. Anything to do with Zango… saturated. Anything Myspace… saturated. yet you constantly see these E-Books being sold and people buying them. Keep the money and save it for PPC advertising. No one will give you the whole story. I think this is the best lesson you learn because you are going to look for help and you are going to find somone who knows what they are doing, but will tell you to E-Whore just to shut you up. Yea Alex, I’m talkin’ to you buddy!! All kidding aside, you need to figure it out on your own and not get discouraged that the methods you are reading about arn’t working for you.

Suggestions:

  • •Read about methods, but look deeper and put your OWN TWIST ON IT.
  • •Sign up to some smaller CPA companies which will be more likely to assist you when you need help.
  • •If you are spening less than $50 on an E-Book, you have already heard it and it’s not worth the money.
  • •Network, network, network… Make friends and do favors for those friends who may do favors for you as well.

LASTLY…

  • •Think of an old method and sell the HELL out of it on digitalpoint forums… they will never know!! I Kid… Sorta.

     Okay, so i think I am ready to write my first entry about CPA marketing. I am picking this particular topic because it’s recent to me and I think that others will benefit from knowing about this company. I am talking about AdvantageCPA. This is my 3rd company that I have joined for affiliate marketing, but the first company that has actually tried to make me money rather than shove meaningless leads down my throat with no guidance. So, far I have been off on and with some of my methods in some months. One month ill make 65 bucks and the next I will make 5 bucks. This is to be expected since I am just starting. What I have Liked about AdvantageCPA is that I have been given some building blocks to start promising campaigns that can earn money in time. My Account Manager, Brandon Hall, has to be the calmest person I have ever met. I really don’t know how he has put up with me and my non stop IMs on AIM. I think he handles it so well due to the fact he ignores most of them, but he’s busy. ONLY KIDDING, I know he will be reading this and that would get his blood going a little bit. Truth is that I talk to the guy daily and have recently started to have webcam conferences with him via Skype. I suggest noobs, like me, to join AdvantageCPA for the sole purpose of learning. They know that if you make money then so do they. This is nice because they teach you and give you advice. Bigger companies don’t take the time, and why would they when they have to kiss up to the 5k a day CPA Pros.

     This world of Affiliate Marketing can be dirty. People don’t share and if they do they don’t tell the whole story in order to satisfy but keep their money making secrets. Trust is a hard thing to come by and that is really the main reason why I am writing about AdvantageCPA today. A few weeks ago I decided I would go to BlackHatWorld.com Forums and tell people about my experience with AdvantageCPA. Within the first day I had 19 people sign up to this Affiliate Company. Brandon saw what I wrote to members and how I responded to questions about the company. Since Brandon and I have been talking for a while he knew that I played Madden on X-Box 360. As a present for doing a good job and saying nice things about the company without being put up to do it, he sent me the NEW Madden 10 video game. I think this is pretty cool because he didn’t have to send me anything and I could have just been happy with my 4% per month referral percentage FOR LIFE. This type of thing builds trust and truly makes me want to make more money.

The Beginning: What I’m All About and Why I’m Telling My Story

Posted by The Bum | My Affiliate Marketing Story | Tuesday 18 August 2009 3:42 am
     Well I should start off telling you that my name is Steve. Basically I am a bum, so for the purpose of this blog you may call me The Bum. I am 23 years old living in sunny California. I am currently going into My 6th year at Cal Poly Pomona as an E-Business student. [...]

     Well I should start off telling you that my name is Steve. Basically I am a bum, so for the purpose of this blog you may call me The Bum. I am 23 years old living in sunny California. I am currently going into My 6th year at Cal Poly Pomona as an E-Business student. Being a student athlete in college slowed me down a bit acedemiclly, but now I am back on track to graduate this Spring.

     My Journey started in 2004. I was a Myspace Marketer. Basically I was one of those people who had thousands of friends and would sell accounts and bulletins to REAL advertisers. It wasn’t fun because I had to deal with a ton of scene kids who actually thought they had 100,000 friends. I hated those people. Anyways, I got tired of all that childs play (even though I was making around 1-2.5k a month from it) and figured I should try to be the people who were buying from me. In 2005 I opened BumLine.net as my first dive into being a real webmaster. I ran Zango ads on it for the longest time and then finally someone talked sense into me and I started Google Adsense. I won’t go further into all of my websites that I own, but if you care to see them then look at the links in the sidebar.

     Now comes my purpose. I have been successful with websites, but seen it all crumble right in front of my eyes. I am living at my parent’s home and now have no money. I am on a mission to make a living for myself and on my own. I have never had a real job in my life. 23 years old and self employed since the beginning. My plan is to keep it this way for as long as possible and I want to document it in this blog. I will be starting from nothing, I have started from nothing. I will make nothing into a fortune and I will show you the transition from Bummin’ to Ballin’ … Along the way I will share with you what I have learned, read and experienced. Obviously some methods I attempt will have to remain secret, but If I see something to share then you can bet that I will be bloggin’ it up for my subscribers. I want my story to be the next persons inspiration. I want to show those who don’t see the potential in all this that you don’t need anything but the will to learn and the patients to fail. I will fail… and fail some more, but I will learn from my failure ant grow from it. This is my journey in Affiliate Marketing… Dirt Poor to Filthy Rich!!
