1,000+ RSS Feed Subscribers! Finally!

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009 | RSS Feeds with 13 Comments

I check most of my sites regularly and it was very nice to come to my internet entrepreneur blog, DatMoney, to finally see the little image below:

1000 RSS Feed Subscribers

Yes folks, I finally hit that infamous 1,000 RSS Feed Subscribers mark. I swear it took forever just to officially get past that hump. I mean, just a week or two ago I posted that I hit 999 subscribers but technically, I still never made it past that hump. Though, that’s the closest I could possibly get to it without going over… too bad I’m not playing The Price is Right, huh?

Honestly, I didn’t do anything different to increase my RSS Feeds. Matter of fact, I’ve been a little more focused on my other projects right now because of the income its bringing in. But I guess it was only a matter of time.

Getting past 1,000 subscribers was pretty similar to trying to get past your first 100. And once you get past that hump, it should get that much easier. But we’ll see… I bet tomorrow my feed count is going to drop back down to like 970 or so.

Anyways, I mentioned a few things were going to change, or take place, once I hit 1,000 subscribers, officially, and one of the big things that people have been waiting for is my long awaited contest. I’m still looking for sponsors for my contest theme but I’ve been having outgoing mail problems with my server so its a little hard to adjust. (I’ll talk about that on this weeks weekly updates).

If I don’t get enough sponsors for my current theme then I’ll hold a smaller contest just so I can get this underway and you guys can enjoy it.

Well, this post isn’t going to help anyone but I just wanted to let you guys know I finally got past the hump and now we’re going to be celebrating very soon! Of course, you guys can feel free to celebrate now if you want! Spread the word! Dance! Sing! Write a post linking back to me… okay, that last one was a shameless promotion but I had to try! :D

Update:  I completely forgot to mention this earlier… thank you to everyone that has helped make this happen! If it wasn’t for you guys, this blog wouldn’t even be where it is at now.  So, I appreciate what you guys have done to help me out.

999 Subscribers – So Close Yet So Far

Sunday, October 18th, 2009 | Other/Random, RSS Feeds, Ramblings with 10 Comments

So, today if you visited this internet entrepreneur and you checked out my little Feedburner chicklet which displays my feed count, you would have saw the little image below:

Of course, this is the closest you can get to 1,000 without actually getting to that number. As you guys are well aware, feed counts fluctuate on a daily basis so I’m pretty sure tomorrow it will drop down to 970 or so. But I’m getting a little excited simply because once I officially hit that 1,000 mark, there are a few things that are going down.

And yes, that includes having a contest to celebrate. I already know what kind of contest it will be and I’m hoping it does not disappoint. But I’m also still looking for sponsors so if you are interested in contributing anything, that would definitely be appreciated!

There are a few other things I’m probably going to be changing once I officially hit the 1,000 subscriber mark.

Easy Access to Subscribe – I should have done this a long while ago but if you look at DatMoney, there’s really no easy access for new visitors to subscriber. And by that, I mean simply typing in your e-mail address on the sidebar or something equivalent.

900 Subscribers Reached!

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009 | Other/Random, RSS Feeds, Ramblings with 9 Comments

900

I know this isn’t a really big significant accomplishment but it is one nonetheless. I managed to reach 900 RSS Feed subscribers which is just on the stepping stones of hitting that century mark of 1,000.

I’m sure a lot of you guys are wondering how I managed to get this far. And honestly, there’s nothing that changed with my methods. Matter of fact, I’ve been promoting this blog a lot less so my traffic has been down quite a bit but surprisingly, my RSS Feed numbers just continue to climb.

A large part of that is simply the fact that a lot of people subscribe because they want the password to my $100/day from Adsense because most people still have no clue on how to make Adsense money so everyday people are trying to find out my method.

I know for a fact that a lot of people subscribe for the wrong reasons but I’m not stupid, a lot of people unsubscribe soon after they receive the password. And people wonder why I don’t send out the passwords immediately after people subscribe… because they’ll literally be a subscriber for a whole two and a half minutes.

Don’t worry to those of you guys that keep e-mailing me asking what the password is, you’ll get it. I’ve been sick and haven’t been checking my e-mails as much but you should receive it by the end of the month at the latest.

Anyways, I just wanted to celebrate a little bit on my accomplishment. Once I hit the 1,000 RSS Feed Subscribers mark, I will have a contest. And don’t you guys worry, if you’re already subscribed via e-mail, you are already entered to win whatever I choose as the contest prize(s).

So, stay tuned for the upcoming contest. The sooner I hit 1,000, the sooner you’ll see a contest. FYI… I know how much everyone loves blog contests!

Password to the $100/Day Adsense Post Will Be Sent Out This Week

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008 | Make Money Online, Other/Random, RSS Feeds, Ramblings with 10 Comments

Top Secret

I’m glad that a bunch of people were willing to sign up for my RSS Feeds via e-mail to obtain the password to my $100/day Adsense post. I did that as a tactic to increase my RSS Feeds and I have probably gained a little over 100+ new subscribers. Unfortunately, I didn’t have as much time to implement this tactic and promote it like I wanted.

Basically, I just hit up a few communities and just dropped a message to see if people would be interested in how I managed to make $100/day simply from Adsense alone. Of course, there were/are doubters because it seemed like any other spam type method others would “guarantee” to people.

Now I had a problem on my hands because I was off on the wrong foot and now I had to convince people it worked. It actually wasn’t hard at all. I simply told people they weren’t losing anything because technically they’re not. I’m not charging people (even though I should :P ), all I’m asking is for them to subscribe to my RSS Feeds.

Simple enough, right? Wrong!

There were still doubters and it almost seemed like one doubter would outweigh tons of potential subscribers. So, what I did was simply link to a previous post titled “Password Protected My $100/Day Adsense Earning” and have people read through the comments if they didn’t believe me.

The reason why I did that is due to the fact that there were a bunch of people that read my post before it was password protected. And on top of that, there were people who mentioned they have done the same strategy before and didn’t want that method getting exposed to spammers.

My work in convincing was done at that point. Why? Well, when people were complaining to not expose this method to spammers, they were basically saying they do the same tactics and it works. And I’m sure they make a lot more than $100/day and you could too.

So, like I said before, I’m glad for all the new subscribers that were willing to subscribe to my RSS Feeds for the password. But with each new sign up comes a new e-mail asking for it so I wanted to let you guys know an e-mail will be sent out this week.

I just hope you guys don’t become an abandoned RSS subscriber. :P

Get the Password to my $100/Day Adsense Post and More for Subscribing

Friday, November 7th, 2008 | Make Money Online, Other/Random, RSS Feeds, Ramblings with 98 Comments

Password protected lock

A lot of people continue to e-mail me asking for the password to the “how I made $100/day Adsense” post and instead of replying to everyone individually, I will make you guys a deal – just subscribe to my RSS Feeds via e-mail and you’ll get it.

A few people thought I was just bullshitting trying to say I protected that post as a publicity stunt but in actuality, there were a few readers that didn’t want me to expose how I did it because spammers would find out and it would hurt those that know how to do it (including myself!).

You can even check out this post to see some commentators calling me out as well as people that have already tried this technique and knows that it works. So, without a doubt, my way just proves you can make $100/day strictly from Adsense alone . Matter of fact, you guys should be able to make more than me because I tend to procrastinate and I’m pretty, um, lazy.

But in addition to that password protected post, I will also have upcoming posts that will help you step by step on how I make money online, but in full details. And unlike most people, I will also give you a URL so you can see proof and go through the site so you can replicate it yourself, if you wanted to, of course.

I was going to write an eBook but I think that method is a little overrated and it does take additional time in which I don’t have. Plus, this is an easier way of handling and managing it on my end.

The only thing I ask is for you to subscribe to my RSS Feeds via e-mail and I will send you the passwords to my $100/day Adsense post as well as any future password protected posts. Unfortunately, I will only be sending the passwords to those that subscribe via e-mail so if you have DatMoney in your RSS readers, I would suggest subscribing via e-mail.

But don’t worry, I understand that some of you guys hate having posts delivered to your inbox every single time I write a new article. I’m not asking for you to stay subscribed via e-mail forever but just until the beginning of December.

Of course, if you stay subscribed via e-mail, you’ll also be automatically entered into any future contests I hold. And just a sneak peak, I will have a pretty good prize for an upcoming contest so look out for that!

Update: A reader made $2,000 in ONE day with my method! Also, you do NOT need to send me e-mails looking for the password, please read “Reasons Why I Don’t Send Out Password Immediately.” Thanks!

Anyways, if you are interested, just enter your e-mail below and confirm and you’ll receive passwords by the end of the month.
