The biggest money maker you can start on RIGHT NOW!!

Some random e-book reader image.

Today's post is for people with two distinct traits. Those who want to make a TON of money and those who have some type of discernible skill. If you have both of these traits, keep reading, even if your "skill" is playing drinking games with your drunken buddies.

Right now you should be saying to yourself "Robert, you're a very helpful guy and because of that, I'll be clicking these Google ads for you!" right? Well, what you SHOULD be saying to yourself is "I'm reading, willing and can put in the relatively small amount of time and effort to try what you suggest."

This, folks, is the easiest way you can make a ton of money for a very long time and it's so simple I should probably be selling you this information.

The first thing you need to do is evaluate your own personal skill set. What is it that you're good at? What's your passion? What can you do fairly well?

This can be most anything. Do you have some magic secret to drive women crazy? Can you cook better than that Iron Wok guy using nothing but items from your local Food Bank? Can you teach people how to quit smoking? Do you have "how to photoshop your ex out of pictures" memorized?

Once you have your skill ready, you write an E-book about it. Not some collection of stories, not your personal history with said skill but a marketable "HOW TO" e-book that people might have some sort of interest in. A great example is one my friend wrote about "How to date women who are just in town for business." It sounds ridiculous but he made over $5000 with a 50 page e-book over the course of 6 months when his hosting ran out and he basically forgot to keep paying for it. By the time he had his site back up, someone had done that same topic better than him. It helps to be a pioneer in a certain topic or at least do it better than the competition.

Setting up your E-book is very simple. You make an outline first so your E-book flows nicely from beginner to advanced OR just make a bunch of them so your customers keep coming back. You can decide that for yourself.

The key to the e-book is simplicity. Most people will read this on their PC and anything that's too technical or boring may put them off and they'll request a refund. You don't want that.

If you are making a stop smoking e-book (bad idea), you might have categories like:
Preparing to stop smoking
Using free resources in your area
How to get support from friends/family
Alternatives for orally fixated smokers
Etc.

The key is to make every page of your e-book fun to read. If people have a genuinely fun experience while learning something useful, they won't want a refund and might even tell a friend to buy your e-book instead of bootlegging it.

Once you have your e-book together, you'll need to get a couple things set up. These are the Landing Page and web hosting. Pay for 1 year of web hosting up front. It's cheap. Save up while you're perfecting your e-book. There's NO EXCUSE not to do it. The landing page, well, you can either make that yourself, buy a template, bootleg a template, find a free template or hire some poor schmuck to do it for you (I wouldn't pay over $25).

You've seen landing pages all over. Those long convoluted sales pitches that pop up when you don't really want them to. That's what you want but make it interesting. Nobody likes the huge ones with 100 obviously bogus testimonials on them. Use some imagination.

Once you have your e-book and your landing page, head to Clickbank and put it up for others to promote. They WILL promote it. Go to Clickbank and take a look at that garbage. Most of it is retarded. You can do better than them and not resort to offering trash right? DO IT NOW. THEN DO IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN!

If you don't know how to do any of these steps, hire someone to do them for you. Even the e-book if you must. Hopefully you're some kind of writer or you wouldn't be reading this so you should do it yourself
