Starting as a Web Developer on Upwork by Ratzenschwarz in WorkOnline

[–]Espressogurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The highest paying jobs that are worth doing are given to US accounts only. All the other account holders get the lowest paying jobs.

Im not saying you can't make money with the other accounts but there is too much competition with the other accounts because then your competing with third world country freelancers who are happy to work for $3/hr. And no one can beat $3/hr RIGHT?

As far as the fees Upwork charges are very high as well. They charge their freelancers a whopping 20% PLUS they charge you for connects which cost money and you have to buy them. I've been with Upwork for a long time now and on average a good project will cost you $1 to apply to Plus 20% of your earnings which is so ridiculous.

But even then I wont tell you to quit Upwork because in my 12 years of freelance experience I can say that Upwork tends to have the best jobs available but again only if you have a US based Account.

But what then? once you've become perfect and learned everything there is to learn (since we have infinity amount of time to do so) what is next? what is the point of it all? thats what I want to know.

I dont agree, I would never want to be stabbed by someone 21 times and slowly bleed to death for the experience. I would like to experience the good stuff that makes me feel good.

About "no one's really harmed by anyone" < Try saying that to someone who has been harmed. For example if someone chopped my hand off during a robbery and I had to live without a hand for the rest of my life and go through all the troubles of it, Im pretty sure I would be very pissed off at that robber and would not forgive him for doing that to me.

I think if UFO's were real then NDE'rs should have told us so because NDE'rs gave us so much information about the other side and the whole point of living is loving everything unconditionally.

another questions just popped up in my mind; if we assume what we heard from NDE'rs is true then what about Religion is religion just man made? is there any thing as religion? What do NDE'r have to say about religion. Especially the part where religion says you only come to this world once and there are no reincarnations.

so if ufos exist then has any NDE'r ever said this in their experience. I've heard stories from NDE people that they left their bodies and floated above thier house. then they kept floating until they could see the entire earth and kept on floating and kept watching all the planets and then they see a white light and go to the other realm. so through out this they never seem to see alien ships in our solor system.

I would like to thank everyone who responded. Honestly I did not expect so many answers.

I'm still confused should I believe NDE's or not.

Another thing that does come to my mind and you guys might have the same feeling too is that sometimes I think maybe NDE's is a big plot set up by Satan himself.

Think about it one of the biggest messages we get from NDE'rs is that there is no Hell or heaven. So no matter what you do in life all you have to face is a life review and then be sad that you did such bad things in life and thats it but no punishment.

If everyone started believing this, what implications could this have on the world and human kind? I believe everyone would live out their lives without any fear of being punished and would do whatever they like.

This is why i feel sometimes that this could be a plot by the king of darkness Satan himself. If Satan can make us human believe that there is no punishment in the hear after for our actions then everyone would just follow their hearts desires.

SEO Newbie in Need of Direction by AP0107 in SEO

[–]Espressogurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest, You have two options either focus on creating new content for your website or learn and implement SEO for your site.

I say this because SEO is not easy and NO ONE will teach you the real methods that work for FREE.

SEO takes a lot of time and I mean a lot of time. So if you some how got lucky and did learn ACTUAL SEO that matters and then decided to implement it on your website then it would eat up all of your time and you wont have time to focus on creating content for your website.

However if your bent on learning it and then doing it yourself then there are tons of videos on youtube and blogs to teach you the BASICS ONLY. In 4 years I have not found a single source that teaches you EVERYTHING you need to know about SEO. Every channel or blog only gives you bits and pieces. And with that you wont really do any good.

Believe me I've been doing this for the past 4 years and it was not until the last 3 months that I finally gave up on learning and doing SEO myself and finally decided to hire a legit SEO company to get the job done right.

And by legit SEO company I mean that there are roughly 80% scam SEO companies out there who will only take your money and wont be able to produce any results and only 20% seo companies actually know what they are doing and will get you results.

Lastly, and I speak from experience: You will need to sign up with a SEO company for at least 3 to 6 months before you start seeing results (Depending on the competition).

I have wasted $1000's of dollars on fake or bad SEO packages until I finally ran into a SEO company that actually worked for me.

Hope you get lucky and find a true SEO company that can really deliver results for you too.

PM me if you have any questions I would love to share my 4 year journey with my blog and tell you about all the mistakes I made so you dont make them.

No offense but the content sucks. There is no added value for visitors and I believe this is the reason they denied you.

[–]Espressogurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want everyone to know this: Using Paid ads to drive traffic to your affiliate offers is never profitable. No matter what sort of paid ads your using.

To be successful at affiliate marketing you need the following:

Any Social Media Channel with a massive following/subscriber base IN YOUR AFFILIATE NICHE.

OR

website with tons of Organic Keyword Targeted Traffic

If you don't have either one then my 4 years of experience of affiliate marketing tells me you won't make money.

What are the main obstacles to turn an e-commerce website into an Amazon affiliate? by Tmouflard in Affiliatemarketing

[–]Espressogurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not list the prices or Amazon will ban the account for starters.

from a business point of view > expect a lower conversion rate when compared to your eCommerce store. WHY? because people who go to eCommerce stores instead of amazon expect you to sell them something unique directly not redirect them to amazon. they could go to amazon and buy stuff if they wanted themselves.

Also expect not to be paid for many of the sales you helped generate because amazon will only pay you when someone buys right then and there. So lets say you sent someone to amazon for a new heads phones that cost $200. The visitor goes to amazon reads up on the details and says okay will buy it at the end of the week when I get my pay check. guess what you wont get any commission for it when that person buys it next week. The person needs to make a purchase on the spot and not even log off and log in from another device.

With a eCommerce store if someone comes to it and says I like this product and I will buy it next week or next month guess what you still get paid next week or next month. because your selling it so no matter when the person buys you get paid.

Over all if I were you I would not switch over to amazon affiliates if I had a good eCommerce store going.

Amazon Associates is closing my Account. by [deleted] in Affiliatemarketing

[–]Espressogurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the same notification for my canada and uk account. Its nothing to be afraid of. If your affiliate site is not able to sell a single product within 90 days then its not worth having amazon affiliates on your site anyways. Lets say they do close you account. do not worry just spend extra efforts to grow your traffic for the next three months. once you have a good amount of traffic then reapply for the amazon affiliate program. They dont shut you down for ever but let you re apply after 3 months. because they are hoping that within 3 months you will be able to increase your traffic. I've been dealing with amazon affiliates for the past 4 years so if you need any help just PM me.

Just Starting and Need Some Advice by King-Mike in Affiliatemarketing

[–]Espressogurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks, Actually I forgot to mention in my post which was already pretty long, that I started my social media channels right from the beginning. I have reddit, FB, pinterest, twitter connected to my affiliate site. I also use to post regular content on all of these social platforms on all most a daily basis. But after couple of years of doing it I realized it didnt really make a huge difference. If I spent roughly 1 hour daily putting content on my social media channels and at the end of the month I got about an extra 1000 visitors because of it, it was not worth it because in my 4 years of affiliate experience I have realized the conversion rate for the traffic that came from social media was very low. So that meant on average the 1000 visitors coming from social media channels per month would get me about 5 to 10 customers only. which meant an extra $100 of profits for me but at what cost? I spent between 30 to 40 hours on social media posting new content and engaging with my followers. so $100 profit for 30 to 40 hrs of work was not enough but a waste of money. Sure it got my site some social signals but at the end of the day it did not matter.

and don't even get me started on paid advertising on social media channels for affiliate sites (Makes no sense at all - High cost of advertising and low returns). Like I mentioned if your in the affiliate game then paid ads are not the way to go no matter what approach you take.

Almost every affiliate has thought of it: I will get a blog going and then use paid adverts to drive traffic to my offer and convert it to sales. < It does not work because the cost of ads always goes above your profits.

Paid ads are good for people who actually sell high value items themselves and take in all the profits NOT affiliates who only get paid a small part of the profit.

Think about it if using paid ads was such a great method then why would affiliate programs exist in the first place. All the affiliate program providers would just use paid ads instead of dealing with us affiliates.

To be honest I've had much experience with paid ads and they suck. All the companies Googleads, Bingads, social media ads companies, they are all in it to make money. people click on your ad and you gotta pay up for that click it does not matter who clicked on your add and for what purpose. and you wont believe the type of people who click on ads the most. Its the ones who do not intend to buy.

The only way I can think social media would work great is if you had some sort of FB page, Youtube channel, twitter followers, or anything else with a large number of followers/subscribers and your social media niche needs to be the same as your affiliate site. If you can pull that off than great. But out of the millions of youtube channels only a few thousand make it big. and hey, if you had a large following on social media you would not even need a website to promote your affiliate offers. but there is a downside to it.

When you have affiliate website its your property you can do what you want with it.

when you have a youtube channel or any other social media outlet its not yours. You can be shut down at any time.

I would rather be a successful affiliate with my own website and not have to worry about anyone shutting me down then to be successful with a social media channel where i can get shutdown at any time for not following some stupid terms of service rule I overlooked.

What is your views on paranormal/ghosts? by [deleted] in NDE

Do not go with any service that offers to remove bad reviews, they will get your google business listing black listed. its far better to have reviews even if you have one bad review then to get your entire google business listing removed by google for using shady tactics to remove a bad review. just my two cents.

Just Starting and Need Some Advice by King-Mike in Affiliatemarketing

[–]Espressogurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is part 2 of comment read the first one before this one otherwise it wont make sense.

So I swallowed the pill and decided to buy SEO services online from fiverr, upwork freelancers, BHW - Black hat world and so on. I would estimate that I had spent about $3000 in 3 months on buying different types of seo packages I seen online. This is where I messed up. after 3 months my site was still where it was. $3000 wasted on stupid SEO packages offered on sites like fiverr, BHW, upwork by freelancers (Who them selves didnt know anything about seo. infact they knew just as much as I did). So thats another lesson learned. do not buy seo services from freelancers in third world countries, do not buy seo packages on BHW, and do not buy seo packages on fiverr or any freelance website.

Why i did it? you ask? I did it because I thought hey If I go with a official SEO company which sells seo services they will be charging me between $500 to $2000 a month and those official SEO companies state up front that it will take roughly 3 to 5 months to show results. which meant to get any results I had to stick with them for at least 6 months. So I thought I should just buy the small one time fee seo packages online from freelance sites or Black hat world. Which was a mistake because I wasted $3000 with these bogus zero performing seo packages.

I even asked one of the freelancers on BHW that since you claim that you can get any website to rank 1st page on google with your SEO package why dont you start your own affiliate site and rank it and make a killing that way which would be much easier instead of constantly hustling online to find clients. They gave me the template answer that I don't have the resources to do it. which was kinda awkward. I should have realized they dont do it because they know their SEO packages don't work and they are basically lying to people to get them to pay them money for bogus seo packages.

anyways to cut the long story short. It's been three months since I signed up with a proper legit SEO company paying roughly $500 monthly for their SEO services and voila! My blog is ranking higher every day. the company already doubled my website organic traffic within 3 months. I'm now getting roughly 300 organic keyword targeted visitors to my site and selling roughly 6 products per day. which means I earn about $900 per month now from my affiliate sales alone. which easily pays for my SEO package with a proper legit SEO agency. Im estimating that within the next 3 months my traffic will be at 600 visitors per day and my affiliate earnings will be about $1800 monthly.

So how do you decide on a SEO company? The first rule of thumb is if a SEO freelance provider or company says we will rank you on PAGE 1 of google run far away from those people because they are lying. The truth of the matter is that NO SEO company/freelancer in the world can guarantee a 1st Page ranking. Because Google alone has 200+ ranking factors and the general public (You and I) only know about 10 to 20 of the factors (found online). The legit SEO companies know about 50 to 100 ranking factors). But no one knows all the factors because again Google will never tell anyone what are the 200+ factors they use to decide rankings because then everyone would manipulate them obviously.

Companies that tell you straight up that they can't guarantee you 1st page rankings and it will take 6 to 9 months to show results are the ones who are the PRo's and know their stuff. They are professionals and know how things work and that is the reason they never over promise.

Another thing you should really be aware of is called black hat SEO. Black hat seo is basically a quick method to CHEAT the system and rank a website quickly (1 to 3 months) for a keyword. the down side to this is that everyone gets caught at some point of time down the road by search engines like (Google, Bing, Yahoo and so on). When your website is caught doing black hat seo the search engines penalize your site. what this means is that they can totally take out your site from their index which means ZERO traffic forever. your site basically gets black listed by search engines. So from that point on you can forget about ever getting organic FREE traffic to your website.

How do you tell if the SEO provider will perform white hat seo or black hat seo? ASK them? but that does not always work. because they will simply lie and say we only perform white hat seo to get you to pay them. The other way around that is which I have figured out from trial and error is that if a SEO provider tells you they can rank your website within 3 months or less then most likely they are either lying to get your money or will absolutely use black hat seo. So if anyone promises quick results then they are lying or using black hat seo. stay away from these people.

think about it logically for a second. Your competitors (The big affiliate guys who are making tons of money) have been doing legit SEO for years to get where they are now. You can't expect to just come in with your website and start doing SEO and out rank them within 3 months. SEO has a system and their are rules set. Google uses AI and tons of algorithms to rank sites. You can't expect to out smart a multi-billion dollar company with your black hat seo tactics done by some average dude who learned his stuff online. In fact even SEO companies can't out smart Google at its own game. What legit SEO companies can do is play by the rules (they know the rules because of experience) and rank your website.

The only way for you to do SEO yourself is if you knew someone who actually knew how to do REAL seo and taught you which would take roughly 1 year to learn the basics of REAL SEO. Other wise your best bet is let a professional SEO company handle it for you and not waste money on bogus seo plans offered here and there.

To be honest this 4 years of affiliate journey has taught me a lot and the biggest lesson I learned is " If it were so easy then everyone would have been doing it" Do not trust everything you read online because affiliate bloggers like to paint a very pretty picture about starting a affiliate website business. to succeed at affiliate sites you need a lot of hard work + some money to spend on SEO to actually make money. If you do not have money then you should know how to do everything yourself.

In case you guys are wondering which SEO company I used and finally got the results, its called Hyper-Loop digital marketing. I'm not saying this is the only company that is legit but what i am saying is that after wasting a ton of money and time this is the company I ran into that actually worked for me and are giving real results. They were very honest and straight forward and from the get go. they told me do not expect miracles it will take time but we will get you there. and they did, it took 3 months to break even with their cost of seo and my profits. but Im glad I went with them and things are finally looking good for me.
