If you want to see a “tell-it-how-it-is” with no bullshit in between make money online blog then you don’t have to go any further then Lost Ball In High Weeds.
I’ve been following this guys Blog for some time now and I don’t know of any other blog in the make money online niche that tells it the way he tells it (no BS) with apparently a blatant disregard for his affiliate commissions…
His latest post What Works For Me is a great example of what it takes to make money online right now and how to generate traffic to your money sites… The whole Blog is kinda like one huge case study really…
A lot of newbies to internet marketing and making money online get caught up in the dream of making millions and becoming rich on the internet and the worst thing about it is they think that they’ll accomplish everything in like a couple of hours a day and that’s just retarded. Lost ball In High Weeds is the perfect title for a blog in the make money online niche because we’re all basically lost for months or years (because of all the BS beight taught on the interweb) until we start figuring out what the hell really works and that’s flinging sites at the web until you find some that stick.
Read Lost Ball In High Weeds and you’ll see the frustration of someone who toils in internet marketing and you’ll also see that it’s not as glamorous as some eBooks would like you to think it is… Lost Ball says and talks about how most of us internet marketers feel… this shit ain’t fun and we all know it I just don’t know of anybody else who verbalizes it as eloquently as Lost Ball…
I’ve decide to no longer fling shit at the web… Today is my independence day… lol… I just don’t have the heart to build sites in obscure niches anymore and then work tirelessly to promote crap I’m not even the least bit proud of… I don’t have the heart or patience to F around with Google anymore… Some where along the line I lost interest in building all of these sites just to chase some commissions and clicks…
If you read my about page you’ll see that I take everything I make online and I funnel it into my offline business and luckily for me the offline business just keeps growing even during this slow economic time. My plan is to keep about 20-40 sites (the ones that make money worth mentioning and I enjoy writing about) of the about 125 domains that I currently have splattered all over the web. Some of these niches I’ll further monetize by developing my own products and in others I’ll just continue to drive more traffic to and optimize until I can charge more for advertising.
I also plan on selling SEO services (link building and basic stuff to begin with) through my Strategic Website Traffic site and combine this money with the money I make from my other 20-40 sites to develop the products I was talking about earlier and also to create a marketing budget for said products… basically I’m going into capital building mode and I’m going to do my best to turn this internet marketing thing into a business that I can be proud of and one in which I only focus on building sites in niches that I enjoy. I don’t mind writing and optimizing but I’d like it to be for sites that I can get behind. I’d say niches I’m passionate about but I’m sick of hearing all that garbage from all the MMO idiots…
And btw no disrespect to all you guys like Lost Ball who are mad-flingin shit on the web… I’ve been doing that since ‘04 and I just think it’s time for a change for me and really all I’m doing is trying to make more from fewer sites. I’m still an internet marketer I just don’t want to have to maintain a lot of sites that I don’t give a rat’s behind about. To each his own I suppose.
Anyhow that’s what works for me…

I agree with your post in that Lost Ball in High Weeds is a blog that calls it like he sees it.
I am starting to see this on your blog as well after reading just two posts. I’ll be reading this one regularly as well.
I clicked through here after reading your post on the Warrior Forum (on the MSN Loophole I think). Got to say – I just love this blog, reality check or what guy!
Right now I’m doing pretty well with Amazon – despite what I read about it being hard. I am UK based so it might be easier over here I suppose.
I might have a go with Storestacker, it looks interesting for me. I don’t want al lmy eggs in oone basket and I could maybe get Ebay and Clickbank moving somewhat.
If I go forward with it I will use your link for sure.
Thanks for the education and the odd laugh here and there.
Donk,
Yea I like Lost Ball and I’ll do my best to call it how I see it as well.
Hamish,
I suck at Amazon but you have to do what works for you you know?
Regarding StoreStacker personally I’m not using it anymore… I’ve switched all my former SS sites to Wordpress Blogs and they’re doing much better both traffic and money wise.
I like the concept of StoreStacker but I think it’s a little too cumbersome to use for my taste and I really hate the templates they offer and how difficult it is to modify them.
SWP -
Wish I had a dollar for everyone who told me they couldn’t get Amazon. My “problem” is that it’s like free money for me – but I suck (real bad) at just about everything else.
Amazon also have the charming habit of messing things up just when you’re getting the hang of it so I badly want to bring in a least one other income stream.
I’d be more than inerested to see a post on how you’re using wordpress. I guess it has to be better for the search engines.
Great post. You’re right on the money with the ‘flinging $%^t” at the web, too many people doing that and too much bs out there. Keep it real.
