Yes just follow the steps on the challenge post and I will look forward to your email. I use Analytics but only 4 sites per account I am a paranoid bitch Only use webmaster tools if I need to make a request of inclusion
Went and bought 30 .info domains during watching this… cant wait for my RAM and HD space to come in so I can upgrade my Mac enough to run parallels and all theses tools finally…
I use Mac and bootcamp on to windows. Works fine on my base level macbook, not a problem. Don't have all the tools, but I do use BMD. I just set it up and go to bed.
And if you're short on cash, you can get boot camp w/o lepoard and XP for free… =P Just check out torrents
Vic, I use Linux on my desktops .. but for these tools, I run VMware Server… Its free and you can essential duplicate multiple instances of Windows on one machine.
How about performance no need to worry? BTW I will check on the soft tonight besides making this vid and link building been busy on Justin Vic secret super duper project
Its ok Vic, take your time with the testing. I need to do some catching up on Link building and my sites also heh .. been spending quite a lot of man-days on the program but I think its kinda worth it because it might actually save more time in future.
As for VMware server, I think it almost feels like you are on a native windows (it doesn't lag or anything). Moreover, with the onset of multi-cores CPU, the virtual machine can scale to multiple CPU, distributing your load. One thing I like about VMware server is that you can "Close" the running Windows and set it in the background (which is useful if you are going to do long BMD runs or Article submissions) and it keep churning in the background without taking up your main desktop space.
Second, well, you save money on electricity and you can get to save the earth heh heh.
I have to say this is a great video for an overall vision on what this site is about.
I would be working on going to Vegas, but I don't have any vacation time left I'd rather use the cash to continue to expand my sites.
My goal is to be able to quit my job and do this full time; everyone I talk to about this asks me what I want to spend my money on; I get some pretty strange looks when I say I want to keep buying more domains to make more sites.
I told my wife not to get excited if we get some checks around $300 this month; that money is already spent. She got excited and wanted to know where it was coming from. Duh, what I'm doing everynight staying up till midnight…
And those who say they don't have money for .info domains, you can't afford $1.19???? That's how much it costs for 1 .info domain with the sale going. That's less than 1 bottle of coke in a machine!
No doubt grow the business go to Vegas business all day long the larger the protfolio and the more diverse let it be MFA BANS FlagShip Local Niche the more you guarantee your online business Still would be cool to meet you in Vegas though
I have to say man that I am starting to understand why and were you are taking this site. It is a breath of fresh air to see someone tell the truth and want to make a change.
I see what you are doing and it is awesome.
Thank you for putting this stuff out there. Without you and Grizz I would be blindly following Yaro's dream. THANK YOU for saving me from his false hope.
I think you kinda got the message across with this one! – The problem is, many of us have been bonbarded with so much shit in the past that we tend to overlook the bleedin obvious.
Yes I am guilty of overthinking things – I don't mean to, it just happens.
I guess from now on its gonna be a case of "just F***in do it!".
Keep bashing us Vic – we'll make you proud one day!
I know trust me I do the reason I know what you folks do is because I was there remember Again I am not a rocket scientist I just have been doing this for ages LMAO!!
The taking action thing isn't just online business – we did well in real estate in New Zealand – we started in 2003 – were worried that we were too late and the boom was ended – well it did end – this year ROTFL, with out equity 50% up! I have friends who were thinking about investment property in 2003 who are just about to take action on it!
Can I ask a stupid question? On your paintball BANS sites I notice that your "content" is just kw stuffed phrases – why is this better than just a few paragraphs of English with your 3 keywords bolded thruout – does the lack of readability encourage the click out? And yes I have RTFM (read the fucking manual) as they say in user support!
So the real estate debacle is world wide? On the keyword stuffing bad habbits from my BH days I need to upgrade that site and I will redo not only pages to be more legible and put the keyword stuffing more on the bottom but also change some keywords
Not as bad as the US – the whole lending industry is set up very differently here – thank God. Hah I had just figured the compromise – write a couple of paragraphs of English and then add a paragraph of keywords at the end! Then go back to the comment page and there's you saying the same thing. Just so I have got this – I do the site, add some content, BMD it, couple of articles and then how long before I should see it indexed? A week?
With BMD you should be doign 3 premium social site runs those inlinks should get your site indexed in about 72 hours max if it takes longer it would really be tied to what keyword you are using and Googles no need of indexing your site quci also if you have a solid aged blogger blog farm you can usually get indexing in about 12 hours.
Fuck my head hurts – downloaded BANS Friday – on top of that now BTW it has the best manual I have ever seen with any clickbank product – if you follow the manual you could upload and get it working even if you never used ftp before!
BMD is harder for me to understand – and the documentation is not quite as good (not bad just not so good) – so I am now off to do my first BMD run – wish me luck:-) – a new login a/c for each right ?
Vic, I’ve gotta say thanks man. This vlog really hit the spot for my at just the right time.
I’ve got 2 kids and the wife is heavily pregnant with our third. She’s had it rough the past week with the baby trying to come 10 weeks early. She’s in hospital now and will probably stay their until the baby comes.
That has left me alone with my two kids. A 6yr old and a 3yr old. They go to bed at 7pm, this is the time I put the computer on at the moment. With all the stress going on they need my time more than anything else does right.
Anyway by the time they go to bed and totally stressed out, you know worrying about the wife and the baby.
The truth is, the last two evenings I’ve turned the computer on and just stared at the screen for hours, and got fuck all done.
I don’t know, it’s hard to explain, but you know, you’ve given me a little kick in the ass with this vlog.
I’m back to being a link building ninja again.
Thanks again Vic, I’ll re-watch this whenever I need another little kick in the Ass.
ps, delete the moderated comment, i used the wrong prefix for my email.
All I want is to get you guys fast results I swear I wish I did have a magic bullet and could instantly get you guys paid, but we do have to do all this boring shit to get the results and it is time consuming.
Your family will be in our prayers and remember at the end of the day nothing more important then you wife and kids.
But that extra time also remember that the quicker you get all this shit done the more time you will have to spend with your loving family and all your sites will be making money for you. This is why not only do I believe in my set and forget business model but also teach it.
Man, I feel for you. I am on a project away from home, again, and I have begin devoting my evenings to building BANS sites, and getting links. Miss the family a whole fucking lot, but knowing I will soon have a choice keep me motivated.
What Vic say works, hang in there and don't give up. Remember when you start making money (NOT IF)you have more freedom to do what you want.
If I can offer one piece of advice which helped me is I deleted all but three blogs from my RSS Reader, (Court, Grizz, and Vic) Stay focused, avoid distraction (like useless bloggers), and keep your eye on the trophy.
Thanks every so much for your thoughts Vic and Ray. I really appreciate it.
Vic, you're so right. My wife and kids are the reason I get up in the moring, they are my world.
Hopefully, one day I'll get to where I need to be, when I do you'll have a personal thank you email from the Wife. She thinks you're a tool by the way. LMAO
Ray, I've worked away from home a lot in the past as well. It's so hard to be away from the family. Feeling for you too man.
Don't worry about me man. I'm doing what I got to do. But, things do get on top of you now and again. Thats why I thanked Vic for this Vlog post. The clown one helped too LMAO.
As for Vic, well how could you not trust what he says. It's been really cool getting to know the guy through his vlog posts. Some have made me laugh, some have made me cry, his passion and enthusiasm really get you by the balls. Respect to you Vic.
HA Ha, I goto stop doing that. Slang where I come from is so fucked up. I just look at the other definitions for "tool". Oh fuck, you can choose…A Wannabe….or a Penis LMAO
Whenever I watch an "inpiring" video like this, I feel like I'm failing you and your efforts to help guys like me.
The seven sites that I have built has started making money and if it wasn't for the present circumstances, I would be like into my 10 or 11 sites by now. DAMN!!
No. Vic. If there is anyone who is in debt, I am the one who is indebted to you. What I learned elsewhere is noting if compared to what I learned here in a few short months. If ever there comes a day that I am able to pay off my debts and mortgage with what I have learned here, I will fly down to Puerto Rico and thank you in person and that's a promise.
Thank you for such caring words friend and I pray for you and your loved ones to have a break from the problems and gives you an opportunity to get yourself out of your financial hardship.
Vic,
Remember that we don't all have the unwavering drive that you do. I am in a hotel in Reading Pensylvania and won't be able to do anything this week other than work at my real job.
Actually it might be a blessing because I was burning out of the link thing and need a break. Not all of us can go at this thing 12 hours a day like you can.
LMAO I know but man Bruce I think sometimes I wanted more nad for you folks then some folks. I know how it is to get home late eat dinner and pass out on the sofa because of exhaustion folks working from home doign this shit is such a blessing I want everybody here to Nuke Their Fucking Jobs
Thanks, Vic! I'll go full blast creating BANS sites as soon as I get accepted into the eBay/CJ affiliate program. So far, I've sent them 3 emails (1 week apart), and each email focuses on a different benefit.
Well, at least I hope eBay sees it as a benefit.
Still no response from them, though. Will probably try emailing them every 3 days.
Ok remember that now is EBN not CJ I just want to be sure you are at the right place. I need to figure out to help you folks that do not get approved but for now lets keep our fingers crossed that you do get approved.
Vic, I guess I'm about as clueless as they come, but since I've been following you for quite awhile, I'm not as clueless as I used to be!
Just so you know, I bought my 100 .info domains, signed up for a HostGator reseller account, and have been studying all day about putting the pieces together.
I figured I'd take a little break and watch your latest video. Yipes! Okay, I'm getting back to work … I promise. (Fact is, I was raised on a farm, so "work" is an old friend.)
And Shirley remember since you will be working BANS not much to fuck up on if it was an Adsense niche then yeah your Adsense account would be in play but with BANS anything you fuck up we can always fix SO the important thing is to get those 100 sites up 3 keywords each BMD Articles Directorys and comments on all 3 pages for each BANS site and then we can go back and either fix things or keep adding a few more keywords on each BANS site and remember you are not alone you can always come here and leave a comment and either me or one of the great folks that read this blog will help also with Vic's and Justin's super duper secret project all you folks will have direct access to us daily
Great video post. Your videos are great. aside from the excellent tips, you are made for this! Your vids are motivating and entairtaining at the same time… Not to mention informative. I say you start a reality show with the 100 bloggers. The blogging 100…All we need is an island and a few huts with pcs and internet connections…lol
Since you have BMD on 4 computers, did you need to buy 4 copies of it or can we just use 1 copy and have it run on multiple comps. I'm thinking about buying a few extra comps so I can do muli long BMD runs while I'm at the 9 to 5.
I have 4 licenses because I love Edwin and I support him but sometimes when it verifies the license it lets you get 2 computers at the same time and their license system does not catch it.
Thanks Vic. Great post. I apologize for emailing you, but you have to realize, when your following people for 8 months and finally realize that you have been getting false information, you just got to reach out to someone and touch something real. I didn't realize that I had been doing dumb shit until I saw Grizz's post in there and had analyzed my site almost to a T. I've reached out to him also, but haven't heard back, so if you got time Grizz, I'd like to talk to you sometime. So anyways, I'm guessing you are talking about me in there. Just wanna say thanks again, and I look forward to the contest. I appreciate you taking time out of your schedule to talk to me.
He will get in touch buddy just give him a break he is like way back on things mainly cuz of answering comments on his blog and spending time on my blog LMAO so he had to get to his network and business plus Grizz also owns a fishing lodge and multiple traditional business so as you might imagine he has tons of stuff on his plate.
I look forward to getting the contest going I think you will be amazed how Google reacts to some of the things that I will be teaching you folks and how you that are in a sports niche will just fucking kill on weekends on your blog
Hmmm, went to the mailbox today and found an affiliate check for a few hundred that has been laying there since Friday. Three guesses where I am going to invest that money and the first two don't count.
Im glad you reinforced the fact that this takes work, it is work , a lot of work but you have to look beyond the work towards the goal.
Just wanted to take a sec between setting up my sites (up to 30 but we had a busy weekend at the bookshop so time was an issue) to say thanks for this post.Looks like I'm in for a late night tonight!!
This is a seminal post Vic. It's what Unleashed is all about! Make sure you have a link to it front and center. It's the video the new folks need to see. Either it will click and they'll join us or they'll be scared and go running all the way back to their friendly twittering…
I hope I can reach people not only those of you that have already started in the path of real success but the new ones that reach this site that have been programed ion the kiss the "A-Lister" mentality and shake them to reason
Quick question. I'm a newcomer to the site….(filled out the form for the contest!) but the big "New to Blogger Unleashed? Click Here" in the Banner….is that a joke? Am I falling for a rookie joke here? An initiation of some sort? Or is it just not linked to anything?
Like an idiot I keep clicking it hoping it will someday lead me somewhere. (I think thats the definition of insane…repeating the same action expecting a new outcome) Maybe I am.
Steve no it is not a joke LMAO!! Even though now that you mention it it kind of would be funny. Our server was hacked a few months ago and I still have some things broken and because of lack time I have not fixed it but I will this week.
You mention you filled the contest email form I have not received it yet make sure you fulfill all the requirements and I will get you in
Vic I just resent my info on the contest vid. I submitted it via the comment section under the contest video. Did you get it? Or was I supposed to send it some other way? Why am alwasy confused on your site lately? Geez as you can see I really need to be a contestant. Show me the light!
Did I get the message right? More links, more links, and DO THE WORK everyday.
Nice to know you can screw up a lot with BANS and still get paid. I'm living proof..totally new to what really works and the money is starting to trickle in.
Did you ever get a chance to look at your BANS stats and see if there is much difference in conversion for the minimalistic theme or full store set up?
I'm just putting up all my domains for now with simple logos and will go back and make them pretty later. I'd rather get paid now
Ohh shoot yes I forgot about this question my best CTR right now is a hybrid I between the minimalistic and the regular header tomorrow I will show it.
This is now one of my favorite videos! It reminded me of one of my favorite scenes from the movie "Boiler Room" when Ben Affleck is yelling at the junior brokers about "how to close" – basically telling them to get off their asses and do the work. I'll be watching this one every time I need some motivation. Keep it simple and do the work. It can't get anymore basic than that. I look forward to the day I can pay it forward. Time for me to get to work. Thank you.
You can definitely see the Sales Manager experience peeking through! Awesome video. I'm happy to see how much your blog has grown, especially in the last week, because that means that more ears are listening to the truth you tell.
You're definitely justified in being fed up with answering the same questions over and over. You already have a huge body of work in the archives. Would you be opposed to someone creating a FAQ for BU? Maybe I could use my Squidoo lens for that.
I don't have anything put together yet. But if you're for it, I can work on a FAQ on my lens. I'll go through and make a list of the questions I see get a lot of repeats. Especially the ones you mentioned in this vid.
Vic, that's an awesome video take. You got me worried for a while when you became overwhelmed with animated passion about us who are still sitting on their asses. Thought the blood pressure might shoot up, LMAO! But all's well that ends well.
Vic your vid is right on the money! It get's the point across and wakes people up. On another note, I finally got bans installed on one of my domains! I screwed with everything so much that I don't even know how I did it. But I just got to do it 99 more times…some how.
I guess it gets easier after you do a few installs. Seems like quite a process though I'm sure it's worth it.
It still would be cool to see a step by step Vic Vid
Chris – read the installation guide pdf – in fact have it open on 1 screen and follow thru every little detail, in order on your site – it is the best guide I've ever seen with this type of software – it really does cover everything – now if there was just something of a similar quality for BDM!
If you've got a reseller account, have a look at Justin's vid for today. He tells how to upload to the skeleton files and it saves a ton of time with each install.
I've got the hostgator reseller account Vic talks about and put BANS in the skeleton files so that it is ready to go with each new account created. All you have to do next is create the database, remove the install file and go straight to the admin panel. Takes about 2 minutes for a new site.
If you are starting with a good sum of sites yes it will be best is it a must of course not but if you are starting with one a few domains you can start with a cheap Host Gator plan and when you get your first paycheck upgrade to a reseller they will help you move your sites.
If you click on the banner for Host Gator you can get the first month for one cent with the coupon code "Vic"
You raise a very good point. This stuff isn't rocket science. Those of us who've been following you guys for a little while should already have a relatively good idea of what needs to be done.
You're inspired me … but, maybe not in the exact way you intended.
I'm tired of spending hours and hours a day on the computer reading. It's getting to the point where even my wife, who's patient as a saint, is rolling her eyes at me when I say "I'll be off in a minute".
You know what's kind of ironic?
The percentage of readers here, who actually still have a blog about MMO or Blogging … you know, the ones they all wrote on to tell people about you. (I fell into that trap as well … blogging about blogging sometimes)
Personally, I'm going to swear of "Internet Marketing" and "About Blogging" blogs. (cleared out my feed reader about an hour ago) I'll stay subscribed to yours and Grizz's but I'm not going to be spending any amount of time in the future commenting on posts about who's a dumbass and who's a scammer.
I'm just going to build my local niche blog (thank you very much for the idea btw), and a couple of ebay affiliate sites.
Maybe even buy an egg timer that limits my computer time to no more than an hour a day.
Making money is one thing … but ignoring my family to do it kind of defeats the whole purpose. Don't you think?
Anyhow, I appreciate what I have been able to learn here these past couple of months.
I'll be rooting for you to take over the blogosphere, and send all the "scammers" and "fakers" packing.
I’m tired of spending hours and hours a day on the computer reading. It’s getting to the point where even my wife, who’s patient as a saint, is rolling her eyes at me when I say “I’ll be off in a minuteâ€ÂÂ.
Many studies have already proved that what we do is addictive as a second non sensory world is established sometimes setting a crash course between our real lives and our virtual ones.
You know what’s kind of ironic?
The percentage of readers here, who actually still have a blog about MMO or Blogging … you know, the ones they all wrote on to tell people about you. (I fell into that trap as well … blogging about blogging sometimes)
And I am extremely great full as it might have save thousands and thousands of dollars to unsuspecting noobs. Their is a reader here that I will not mention the name that spent over $1,500 on "Blog Mastermind" products to never see one cent in return and just because you and others took the time to make a post about us that same person has already made $500 since following our advice, so feel proud you helped some one.
Personally, I’m going to swear of “Internet Marketing†and “About Blogging†blogs. (cleared out my feed reader about an hour ago) I’ll stay subscribed to yours and Grizz’s but I’m not going to be spending any amount of time in the future commenting on posts about who’s a dumbass and who’s a scammer.
Very smart thing spend more time getting links as a matter of fact when the day comes that you feel that you have learned everything that you can learn from me or Grizz I would drop us also from the feed so you can spend time on what really is important.
I’m just going to build my local niche blog (thank you very much for the idea btw), and a couple of ebay affiliate sites.
The way I teach this business is all about set and forget. It takes me only around 2 hours from start to a finished built and promoted BANS site and maybe 4 hours on a wordpress niche so I would make sure to have multiple streams of income.
Maybe even buy an egg timer that limits my computer time to no more than an hour a day.
Making money is one thing … but ignoring my family to do it kind of defeats the whole purpose. Don’t you think?
A trap many of us have fallen in. At the end of the day money is worthless but my family and looking at my kids straight in the face with out shame is the most important things in my life this is why I could not scam a person just to make money as you so well state much more important things then making money
Anyhow, I appreciate what I have been able to learn here these past couple of months.
If one thing I said or wrote in my crazy and distorted way makes you one dollar profit I am happy for that.
I’ll be rooting for you to take over the blogosphere, and send all the “scammers†and “fakers†packing.
Have fun with that.
Later,
Todd
Do not know about taking over the blogosphere LMAO!! But tell you what Todd when my maker comes to take me to another place I am quite sure I will pass judgment and man I sleep like a baby
Thanks for the vid. As you know its my birthday on thursday (hope you can sing happy birthday).
The wife and kids are giving me enough to buy BANs and some domains, and I have raised enough to pay for the first months hosting. So, can you answer a couple of questions so I am ready to go on friday?
1 – How do I get the domains from Godaddy to Hostgator?
2 – How long does it take to move them?
3 – Where can I get a list of sites to book mark, as I will have to do this manually for now? The same with directories?
4 – Key word stuffing, how many keywords per 100 words?
5 – Should I submit one article per page or per site?
6 – I know I need as many anchored links as I can get, but as I want to get as many sites up and running as quickly as posibble, is there a minimum number I should aim for, before moving on to the next site?
@ John, re getting the domains from GoDaddy to Hostgator – Hostgator will send you an email after you signup with something called "nameservers", you have to login to your GoDaddy account, click manage domains, select your domain, click nameservers (custom) and enter in both of them.
Baah, hosting. Don't even ask, I'm already way pissed off about it.
Rule number 1 when starting a social blog – never take the free "lifetime" domain that is tied to your hosting accounts and then decide to switch hosts as you'll lose traffic and revenue while they f*ckup trying to get it transferred.
On a more positive note, I got accepted for the eBay Partner Network and will be buying BANS + a whole host of domains over the next week. I'm not sure if eBay Partner Network is the one your readers were having problems signing up for, but what I did is select "Paid Placement" for the business model and state that I would promote eBay by placing ads on affiliate blogs (load of balls but I didn't want to point them at my semi-dead blog) – I got accepted about ten minutes later. Something your readers might want to try, I think they're tougher when you submit a website for them to manually review.
Lastly, your videos aren't working, must be my sh!t Internet connection. That's two days of no humour, and the clown nose piqued my interest too
Oh yeah, I should probably stop with the f*cking essay in your comment section and get around to the sites. Laters!
That is such an awesome point I will make sure that I mention that in a vid it is one of those things Hosting companies do to tie people into hoting for a year with them. I hope the shit gets resolved quickly.
Thanks for that pointer on Ebay I will let all know again thanks Jason
Quick question mate. 1-2 aged (like ten year old) .COM domains or 10-20 brand new .INFO? I've heard that Google Sandbox is a b!tch, but GoDaddy's .INFO prices atm are pretty tempting
I've got around 90 domains with me, have to stop racking them up. To stick with the title of this post, I have promised myself that I will have my first BANS site setup and ready to go by the end of this week.
LMAO crazy how that post started one way and ended in totally something else then the original intent was I guess that happens when you have ADD LMAO!!!
I use to think keyword stuffing and content were king until you stated in a previous post about wikipedia and how they can have the word one time on the page and get first page rank. That changed my whole few, and I have been going after links, links, and more links ever since.
Hey Vic, when I get some extra cash I will buy that Bans product and start with your method and test it out. If I want ti post a video response how do I login or register?
Hey Vic, Nothing takes me to Revver other then going there myself and searching for the video. Clicking on the login button to post a video response takes me to a wordpress admin panel, not to Revver.
mmm I am still learning Revver and this whole video blogging thing LMAO!!!. Go to Revver and create an account create your video and upload it it takes a while for them to approve it after that you can just paste the code here in the comments the Revver wordpress plugin lets us embed the code here in the comments I hope this helps
I also think that if you do the video comment response at Revver it actually will embedded here
Hey man well it is your lucky day, we are going to try this out. I am uploading the video to Revver right now and I will let you know when it is posted.
Hi Vic
I understand the link thing. But I have a question about keywords too (another reader asked this too): on keyword stuffing what amount is safe to not get banned?
This is the only question remaining in my brain – everthing else is clear. Hope you answer
Mia go to Grizz site he has a post at his site that he explains in detail http://makemoneyforbeginners.blogspot.com/ I wish I understood blogger better but I really suck at finding post on blogger hopefully Grizz can take some time from working and post the link here.
After much testing I have reduced Keyword usage to a pretty simple formula. Use the main keyword in your post Title. Once in a header. A couple of times in the post and that's it. You should however use plenty of relevant terms throughout the post to add credibility – this reinforces your topic as Google uses LSI technology to gauge whether your post is actually about the topic mentioned in the post title or whether you just stuffed it full of keywords.
ie. Your post title is "How to make a BANS site"
If your post contains only that term and never mentions ebay, products, themes etc then Google will think you are just spam. Basically just write a natural article about whatever subject you like and then make sure to have the main keyword in the Title, a header and once or twice in the post. Less is more. The bots are pretty good at deciphering what you are about.
Forget everything you have read about keyword density – not needed and not necessary. The Post title is the most significant indicator used. Just remember to use lots of relevant long tail keywords throughout the text. The more diverse the better.
Oh man. I am on it. I've just bought a whole bunch of domains and am waiting for the DNS servers to kick in.
Some of these will be for BANS, some for adsense, some for affiliate products. Most of them were .com domains – nice ones – so there might be some decent resell value to them too. I'm also going to put some domains that I bought earlier to use too – so that they start getting old and more authoritative. And i have made a mental note to stop buying domains when coming home drunk and happy from a swell night out. Not sure why I thought axelene.com was a hot url to buy. yikes. But she's all mine.
Vic? what's the best way to tell which moneymaking direction to go for a certain URL? I have taken it to heart what you said – CHOOSE ONE monetizing method. I did some preliminary free keyword search and for some of my domain names, there seems to be both high paying google ads with little competition, as well as Ebay products.
Oh man – I am so addicted that I haven't even checked my emails from clients in 3 days. I have no time to build sites for others (I'm a web designer) when I have so much work to do for meself Must feed my new addiction. Must build a hundred blogs.
Build my local niche site. I'm also moving across the country and so is a good time to set up a local niche site. I am also going to set up a local niche site for my non-tech friend who will take care of content while we split revenue.
Next, buy your recommended software – and learn how to use it.
And find time to write articles. I've been reading Griz's site too…how the hell is that guy able to write so many long – and totally entertaining articles? Every essay I ever handed in at university was late…that'll be the toughest block…
I actually work monetization backward. In other words first I choose the monetization then I make the site.
So example right now anything related to products I will do everything possible to work Ebay service and products I can not find I work Adsense if their is competion if not then I find a matching affilite.
If you are new and do not fully understand Adsense start with BANS to get you goign till you keep reading and watching my videos where I will explain in detail how to built sites for Adsense.
Yeah…I am trying to do this first too – choose monetizing before building.
In your comment are you saying that for Adsense, you want the competition? If there is no competition, you choose an affiliate product?
"products I can not find I work Adsense if their is competion if not then I find a matching affilite."
I bought some domain names with products in them so I will BANS those. I watched that video before..good stuff.
I've tried Adsense on one site, and make a dollar a day. It was not a product site though, more of a Flagship site. This is the first time I am going for the money…so can't wait for your adsense videos.
There are a few "Make Money Online" video casters over there that get a ridiculously hugh number of viewers. You would shut them down in a heatbeat if you started video casting over there.
Stebe LMAO!!!!!!!!! I think you know where we are going but we decided to go to the straight to the NBA LMAO!!!! decided to skip college ball LMAO!!! I am sure you will love what we are doing we are finishing it today
Hey Vic, I uploaded the video response but for some reason it went into the error section of there site. The file size was under there requirements so I emailed then to see what is going on.
Hey Vic,
I'm trying to piece together enough knowledge on BANS sites from all your posts as I can. this vlog helped a lot. Just trying to get an idea of the money I'm going to need to start. (gonna go in search of some loans!…my fiance will be thrilled ha ha) Correct me if I'm wrong here:
25 a month for a reseller account on Host gator
99 dollars for 100 .info domains
97 for bookmarking demon
and then need an article submission software (any recommendations) and a directory submission software (again recommendations?).
So thats a total of around 390 (if the article and directory submission software costs 97 each) and 25 a month to host.
Am I close here?
Then just the blood sweat and tears to get the anchor links. (how many anchor links should be be shooting for per site? and how can we find out how many we have?)
Sorry for all the questions just want to get rolling sooner then later.
Steve if you are in a tight budget just start with BANS and BMD and then just comment a lot for links and buy as many info domains as you can. Now once you get your first Ebay check then keep buying domains and tools.
I don't dare answer a question for vic but…I always enter them in manually. There's only a short list of about what…20 or so important Bookmarking sites right? These are the ones that count the most, and doing it by hand is really quick the BMD anyway. Plus once you have all of the sites on your account, you don't have to go through it again untill you exhaust that particular account.
Scuttles…let them go…that's what vic says all the time.
Just a thought – you could try registering thru HubPages -I have never heard of anyone complaining there that they have been turned down. Join hubpages – use my link on the link above – do some hubs – get your hubscore above 75 and then apply to EBay using your profile page as your website. Like I say no guarantees but I have never heard of anyone being rejected on HP and I thnk most authors are new to EBay
COLIN GO PROMOTE PPC SOME FUCKING OTHER PLACE MOST OF THESE PEOPLE BARELY HAVE ENOUGH TO GET BANS AND YOU WANT THEM TO BUY ADWORDS ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID. I SPAMMED ALL YOUR COMMENTS YOU FUCKING COMMENT TROLLER GO TO YOUR SHIT SITE AND GIVE THE FUCKED UP ADVICE OVER THEIR YOU FUCKING SCAMMER
Sort of off topic, but I just did 2 BMD scuttle runs and keep getting account registrations from several runs ago. I thought I had cleared and created new accounts for each. I seem to be missing a major step here.
Not so worried about the scuttle, but want to be sure that I don't have this happen again with the others.
I swear Chris this sorry mother fucker has the balls to come here and start saying yeah you should tell your readers that they will have to pay for hosting "NO FUCKING SHIT" I have told that in over 20 post and over 15 videos then this fucker goes into how I am getting you guys to buy clickbank products but he has the answer to all your needs "PPC" THIS HAS TO BE THE SORRIEST MOTHER FUCKER I HAVE EVER SEEN. How can you have a person that can barely spend on hosting as he wanted to say do fucking ADWORDS!!! I swear these mother fuckers come out from under the rocks!!
Vic, I like that idea of another quick video on BMD as I've got it and don't have a clue. Watched the other video and it helped a little but from a complete noob BMD standpoint, it could take weeks to figure it all out. Would love that video idea maybe from a good standpoint with top sites and what to do, pictures worth a thousand words, and then from a scuttle standpoint. From account creations to actual runs to whatever. I don't know what I'm talking about here as I don't know what I'm doing with BMD and when looking for tut's, didn't run many others than yours.
Appreciate it.
Chris
I agree please more info on BMD – I asked a whole of stupid questions over in the forums because I didn't want to clutter the comments! BANS was a piece of piss but BMD is seriously doing my head in and I don't want to piss off the premium bookmarking sites either! In the meanwhile I signed up for kaboodle as per Justins suggestion – I can at least understand shoping!
Cuz I am a dick I am sorry I just find BMD so easy but you know I have been using it since it came out and some times we forget how tough shit was in the beginning so I am deeply sorry I should had made it when you asked you are so right.
LMAO!!! C'mon Vic you know I pick this shit up easier because I have some background in it I was just pissin' around with ya
but yeah I think if you have a break from your linkbuilding maybe some of these videos might help the rest (and I can perhaps see if I'm doing it wrong LMAO!!!) thanks man!!
I love the intensity and honesty in this video. You are a breath of fresh air in the blogosphere, Vic. I hope to see you dethrone little Carl Ocab for "make money online" and be able to spread more gospel.
Monika there are some really good WHM tutorials here http://www.hostgator.com/tutorials.shtml go check them out and starting tomorrow Justin and me kind of have a really cool thing we are fixing to do to help all you guys so you will have kind of a live support. If you get stuck let me know we will walk you through
I look forward to this surprise as I might need you for the first setup. You guys talk awfully tech geek and for a tech noob like me who learns by doing this sounds like Chinese right now.
Monika, I so agree with you. I checked into the resellers account also and after watching the tutorials I was even more confused. I figured if I can make enough to pay for one babycroc account I should be able to afford a resellers account. Just looks so confusing.
Struggling with getting my first Bans site open. I keep getting a lot of error. Think I need to reload the whole program again into my hosting account and see what happens. I get so screwed up on what everyone else finds so simple. I joined the forum hoping to find some answers.
It will be nice to have a new video on BMD. I still get hung up on it and I have had it since it came out also.
Denise,
glad I'm not the only one struggling with BANS. If Bans is easy, I'm almost too scared to tackle BMD. My head is spinning from reading all the forums and tutorials, and 3 days later my site is still not working properly.
I know that this is off topic but last year when I used to follow John Chow he made a challenge to become a "somebody" in blogging using a false name. This was back in August and so far there hasn't been a single update despite commenters asking about it. http://www.johnchow.com/from-nobody-to-somebody-p…
I find it hilarious that 8 months on he still hasn't posted an update which proves he really doesn't know how to make money blogging about anything other than blogging.
I just tried to post a comment asking about his little challenge and he spammed it. The comments on the original post are locked as well. Has he ever given a reason for not posting on this – did he succeed? I have an idea for a post but want to make sure that he didn't accomplish the task.
It seems you know as much as I do. I seem to remember him saying that he locks comments on posts that are older than x number of days. I've haven't been subscribed to his feed for ages. I mean, where are all the "how to make money online tips" that he's supposed to be posting?!
Perhaps he's hoping that no one remembers him posting that challenge or that it's a whole new bunch of readers he has now that never read that post.
My comment ended up being posted so maybe one of his regular readers will give me an answer. It's been 8 months and it seems that 3k was the target to meet per month. If he hasn't achieved that mark by now one might just have to wonder if he can't walk the walk. Hard to believe but he might just be full of hot air! No wait – that can't be right. Of course John Chow knows how to make a successful blog from scratch…
of course he doesn't have all his gimmicks available anymore… Lol.
Certainly seems like something to call him out on.
Watch this video especially you Grizz and you will just bust out laughing when he talks about google slapping him you can tell he was just fucked but of course he has to say all the shit that he says cuz he needs people to still pay the 400 review LMAO!!
The funny shit is how you can see in his face when he talks about losing the Google rank you can tell he is hurting I would love to see his monthly Adwords bill
It talks about creating bans clones with wordpress. Is this a viable option until you make the money to but the software? Do you even need the software? As long as you get the anchor links does it matter?
Am I missing something?
Thanks for the help!
Steve K
It is possible. That's what I'm doing right now until my adsense check comes in to buy BANS. While there are several pros for these sites (I do mine in a different way), there are some pretty serious cons. I'm working on a way to remove as many cons as possible, but on balance I'm making money with wordpress bases ebay affiliate sites.
For every Wordpress site ebay built I build 20 BANS while you save 97 dollars I make an extra 10k No the setup is not the same if you are dead as broke no doubt it is a great option if you have the money and do not buy BANS your an idiot
I second Vic on that as in my post I never said you didn't need BANS. I just meant that for those who can't afford it, this might be a solution, that's all.
Guys, from NOT reading the whole thing, rumors start and soon enough there will be a movement that says such and such said that BANS is not needed.
BANS is specifically designed for the task at hand, displaying eBay auction feeds in a store like format. It is going to give you the best results because it's doing what it's designed to do and isn't something you're trying to shoehorn in. Of course, you can setup an eBay auction feed to work with WordPress or even Blogger but there are a number of challenges with doing both. You can see posts on my site describing what these are.
Where I'm using eBay affiliate widgets (aka Sniplets) are in some existing product/hobby oriented blogs where I'm already indexed and have a number of posts. This keeps my old content while adding the auction feature. I'm also trying it with some micro-niches via Blogger but getting the Blogger spam 'bot to not flag the eBay widget as link spam has been rather tricky so far.
And for the new person man it is just such an easy tool to have a real shot on making money until they learn keywords SEO etc etc cuz starting with Adsense just frustrates the hell out of people and the way BANS is designed their is no chance you will get flagged as a Spam site mmmm well let me correct that unless you get anchors for one thing and your site is about another thing then maybe but if it is straight up their is no way.
LMAO yeah way cool I have had some technical difficulties but we should go live today I am also uploading right now the BANS tutorial and I will make the BMD later today
Vic, I promise I'm not cheap (or an idiot). Just dead broke! This wedding is killing me! I could be making these sites as we speak! Instead I'm trying to convince the finace to trust the guy with the cartoon character of himself and use the credit cards!
Believe me I'm frustrated! Hopefully I can get it done sooner then later. Thanks man.
Steve fuck you guys take what I say directly toward you LMAO!!! Folks stop doing that I talk in general terms yes buddy dead broke fuck it what can you lose way better then nothing but once you get the check get BANS instantly same thing with BMD dead as broke you can use onlywire most of the time it does not work and only one account at a time but it is still an option for the person that has no money and wants to take advantage of social bookmarking.
Again Steve you guys need to not take my saying directly at you
Thanks for this video, Vic. I felt a little ashamed watching it because I know I fit into the criteria of "over-thinking" and "ass-sitting". I finally bought BANS and when this month's adsense check is in, I'll be buying BMD. BTW, you, court, and grizz are the reasons I even have 'monthly' adsense checks. Thanks again.
The flip video camera seems to be a wide choice for the lower end and the free movie maker soft if you want to do blue screen and the works it gets a bit expensive really quick and Mike man it is all about the lights LMAO!! I still suck at lighting.
ohhh heck Mike the cheapest cam will do then buddy shoot go to Best buy or Ebay and just get the cheapest and you can record directly to a video service
I am the WORST technology guy you will ever see. Can you or someone direct me to a resource on how to shoot this "low-end" type of videocast and get it up on youtube or revver like you do?
OHHHH!!! I got you Mike let's see Mike go to YouTube and search start video casting and see what videos are up their if you can not find anything let me know I promosie I will do s tep by step video post
http://www.freevlog.org/ is a resource for videobloggers who want to do it cheap cheap. As in free.
Cheapest is a webcam. Just so you know – People will accept not-so-good video, but the sound has to be good. Good enough to hear.
Most video bloggers upload their vids to a video hosting company like Revver (what Vic is using) but blip.tv is the most popular with videobloggers.
There's a video blogging group on Yahoo for more info. It sports some A-list vloggers like the creators of Ask A Ninja and Rocketboom (Hmm – hey Vic – wonder if these A-listers need a hypocrisy check Of course they aren't telling people how to make money, and Ninja are pulling in a 100k a month ni nhttp://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/videoblogging/
They've also set up a wiki for resources – where to host, get music, how to compress, legal issues for web etc. at http://videoblogginggroup.pbwiki.com/
Shoot Irene you just made me look like an asshole LMAO!!!! Mike ask and I send him to YouTube then you come and give this awesome resource thank you so much for taking the time.
Thank you both! So they even have a name Vlogging? Hmmm??? I am way behind the times I guess…LOL!
I will check them out and hope to get something going. If I do, I'll give you guys a link to my first one…but remember it's for the golfing crowd, so you may go to sleep
Hellooooo are you crazy I look forward to hopefully seeing you at Vegas and you can join Grizz and me in some Golf would love to get some pointers from a pro
Hey Vic – that didn't take me a fraction of the time it takes for all those step-by-steps you do.
But here's a crazy story. Got an email from an LA producer yesterday – they saw a 1 min video I put up on Youtube and they want to use it for a new tv show. Here's the kicker…no money exchanged. Credit only.
Ah c'mon! Now I said yes, because I can spin the story of a US broadcast farther than I can squeeze a video sitting idle on Youtube.
But man oh man – I gots to get me BANS and adsense sites up and pulling in some money because man – this "fame" stuff doesn't pay. ha ha.
Yes you won buddy LMAO!!! Listen I will make a step by step but also please come back tomorrow as I should have something new we are doing that will help you in a step by step
Age is a wonderful thing LMAO!!! The important thing is you start getting them links because you usually jump in the SERPS and then it comes down but that is ok it is supposed to do that you will bring it back up with the links
Well Vic I've always said you're a jackass and you are, but fact of the matter is that you put out AWESOME information. I've learned tons from you. Thanks!
I know my delivery just rubs wrong but if it makes you money or saves you from the traditional 9.95 ebook that you will have to later pay 29.95 a month then I feel I did the correct thing. All I want is to be helpful. I am glad something I wrote or said has helped you in some way.
Are you going to put together some kind of tutorial on how you implemented video? I now have all the required tools, but would sure love to see how it's done from putting videon on PC, tweaking it, then getting it up on the web how you do it.
If you're too busy, no worries. Maybe somebody else can chime in
Thank you for pulling the wool off my eyes and slapping my face back into reality.
I have been jerking off with social bookmarking and other crap for 3 years and making shit money!
Although I am an ebay virgin I am going to take your advice and try BANS because I am sick of filling these wankers pockets.
Excuse my language but I have mouths to feed and I can no longer afford to finance these scammers.
Some of these name pop up like mushrooms and after reading some course they join the generic crooks bandwagon and perpetuate the whole thing to the next generation of newbies.
I found your site by accident and have been watching videos here since yesterday. I look forward to to digging the archives.
I like your honest "no horse shit" approach ,its like a breath of fresh air but I dont trust anyone on the net anymore so till I test BANS and it works I wont make any positive comments.
I'll keep you posted on my progress.
Keep kicking butt!!!
This is an incredible wakeup call for me. I am a dumbfuck. I have a blogging about blogs site with adsense and some other deadend blogs that I will have to rethink and/or dump so I can do what you say here: Work work work the keywords and get the links!
You are my new hero and guide. Now… gotta get BMD and dump blogrush!
Ohh yeah this is something I will definitely try thank you so much. As for the soft ohh hell yeah it would be a huge time saver so i look forward to beta testing
Make sure you look at my BMD video and also make sure you join the BANS support forum they are really good. BMD takes a few days to really fully get it but once you do you will do your BMD runs blind folded
I have used vmware for years and can't rave about it enough. I've used it for everything from secure virtual workstations for outside contractors to domain controllers. If you plan on using a number of virtual machines at the same time you will have to have a heavy duty workstation class system.
What you can do with vmware is limited only by your imagination.
As far as BMD and other licensing is concerned load everything you want on the first virtual machine. make a copy the virtual machine and replicate it as often as you want for as many machines as you want. You have to change some basic things like name and VMID but those are simple. But, no licensing issues. After one system load, you could create an infinite number of machines. Get a string of public IPs and you have a virtual army of systems. I think you see the possibilities with this setup.
OMG!!!! That is huge talk about mass promoting!!! Thank you folks so much I love I am so stoke like you mentioned the possibilities are endless and the coolest thing I can have my linux dose on a bigger scale LMAO
Colin I can not see it on the video the response box opens but it does not load could you post the url here and I will make sure the video gets posted here right sorry for this I need to figure put the video response thing.
No please be my guess dude I was like a serious shit magnet a fewe months back and now again I am like on every bodies lets fuck with list LMAO so please break his ass down Grizz style
Ya know Vic – I bet he is getting crap traffic – I mean very little. 28K readers and 10 comments. The numbers are either fake or nobody bothers to go to his site. Would you – look at the crap articles he is posting. lol
Griz style it is then…
Shit I'm never gonna get any real work done -damn you Vic!
{ 230 comments… read them below or add one }
Geez vic though you were going to burst a vein there! LMAO! Think you need to chill a bit.
Really good video and good advice – have started doing the things you have been teaching and already seeing some results.
Also, didn't see the challenge video until an hour ago, are there still any more places on it?
Oh, and you never included in a vlog whether you use google analytics and webmaster tools for your niche sites.
Yes just follow the steps on the challenge post and I will look forward to your email. I use Analytics but only 4 sites per account I am a paranoid bitch
Only use webmaster tools if I need to make a request of inclusion 
Went and bought 30 .info domains during watching this… cant wait for my RAM and HD space to come in so I can upgrade my Mac enough to run parallels and all theses tools finally…
Yeah I have wanted to swich to a Mac for years but fucking developers only work for sucky windows us that love linux or apple always get the shaft.
I use Mac and bootcamp on to windows. Works fine on my base level macbook, not a problem. Don't have all the tools, but I do use BMD. I just set it up and go to bed.
And if you're short on cash, you can get boot camp w/o lepoard and XP for free… =P Just check out torrents
Vic, I use Linux on my desktops .. but for these tools, I run VMware Server… Its free and you can essential duplicate multiple instances of Windows on one machine.
How about performance no need to worry? BTW I will check on the soft tonight besides making this vid and link building been busy on Justin Vic secret super duper project
Its ok Vic, take your time with the testing. I need to do some catching up on Link building and my sites also heh .. been spending quite a lot of man-days on the program but I think its kinda worth it because it might actually save more time in future.
As for VMware server, I think it almost feels like you are on a native windows (it doesn't lag or anything). Moreover, with the onset of multi-cores CPU, the virtual machine can scale to multiple CPU, distributing your load. One thing I like about VMware server is that you can "Close" the running Windows and set it in the background (which is useful if you are going to do long BMD runs or Article submissions) and it keep churning in the background without taking up your main desktop space.
Second, well, you save money on electricity and you can get to save the earth
heh heh.
Breath Vic, breathe…
I have to say this is a great video for an overall vision on what this site is about.
I would be working on going to Vegas, but I don't have any vacation time left
I'd rather use the cash to continue to expand my sites.
My goal is to be able to quit my job and do this full time; everyone I talk to about this asks me what I want to spend my money on; I get some pretty strange looks when I say I want to keep buying more domains to make more sites.
I told my wife not to get excited if we get some checks around $300 this month; that money is already spent. She got excited and wanted to know where it was coming from. Duh, what I'm doing everynight staying up till midnight…
And those who say they don't have money for .info domains, you can't afford $1.19???? That's how much it costs for 1 .info domain with the sale going. That's less than 1 bottle of coke in a machine!
No doubt grow the business go to Vegas business all day long the larger the protfolio and the more diverse let it be MFA BANS FlagShip Local Niche the more you guarantee your online business
Still would be cool to meet you in Vegas though 
I have to say man that I am starting to understand why and were you are taking this site. It is a breath of fresh air to see someone tell the truth and want to make a change.
I see what you are doing and it is awesome.
Thank you for putting this stuff out there. Without you and Grizz I would be blindly following Yaro's dream. THANK YOU for saving me from his false hope.
I just wished I could speed the process up to see all you folks already making a couple hundred a day
I think you kinda got the message across with this one! – The problem is, many of us have been bonbarded with so much shit in the past that we tend to overlook the bleedin obvious.
Yes I am guilty of overthinking things – I don't mean to, it just happens.
I guess from now on its gonna be a case of "just F***in do it!".
Keep bashing us Vic – we'll make you proud one day!
I know trust me I do the reason I know what you folks do is because I was there remember
Again I am not a rocket scientist I just have been doing this for ages LMAO!! 
The taking action thing isn't just online business – we did well in real estate in New Zealand – we started in 2003 – were worried that we were too late and the boom was ended – well it did end – this year ROTFL, with out equity 50% up! I have friends who were thinking about investment property in 2003 who are just about to take action on it!
Can I ask a stupid question? On your paintball BANS sites I notice that your "content" is just kw stuffed phrases – why is this better than just a few paragraphs of English with your 3 keywords bolded thruout – does the lack of readability encourage the click out? And yes I have RTFM (read the fucking manual) as they say in user support!
So the real estate debacle is world wide? On the keyword stuffing bad habbits from my BH days I need to upgrade that site and I will redo not only pages to be more legible and put the keyword stuffing more on the bottom but also change some keywords
Not as bad as the US – the whole lending industry is set up very differently here – thank God. Hah I had just figured the compromise – write a couple of paragraphs of English and then add a paragraph of keywords at the end! Then go back to the comment page and there's you saying the same thing. Just so I have got this – I do the site, add some content, BMD it, couple of articles and then how long before I should see it indexed? A week?
With BMD you should be doign 3 premium social site runs those inlinks should get your site indexed in about 72 hours max if it takes longer it would really be tied to what keyword you are using and Googles no need of indexing your site quci also if you have a solid aged blogger blog farm you can usually get indexing in about 12 hours.
Hey lissie, don't worry about when it'll get indexed. It'll sooner or later if you get your links etc. Just move on to building your next site.
Fuck my head hurts – downloaded BANS Friday – on top of that now BTW it has the best manual I have ever seen with any clickbank product – if you follow the manual you could upload and get it working even if you never used ftp before!
BMD is harder for me to understand – and the documentation is not quite as good (not bad just not so good) – so I am now off to do my first BMD run – wish me luck:-) – a new login a/c for each right ?
Lol I thought Vic's gonna come out of my computer screen and choke me to death!
LMAO just want the best for you folks that is all
Vic, I’ve gotta say thanks man. This vlog really hit the spot for my at just the right time.
I’ve got 2 kids and the wife is heavily pregnant with our third. She’s had it rough the past week with the baby trying to come 10 weeks early. She’s in hospital now and will probably stay their until the baby comes.
That has left me alone with my two kids. A 6yr old and a 3yr old. They go to bed at 7pm, this is the time I put the computer on at the moment. With all the stress going on they need my time more than anything else does right.
Anyway by the time they go to bed and totally stressed out, you know worrying about the wife and the baby.
The truth is, the last two evenings I’ve turned the computer on and just stared at the screen for hours, and got fuck all done.
I don’t know, it’s hard to explain, but you know, you’ve given me a little kick in the ass with this vlog.
I’m back to being a link building ninja again.
Thanks again Vic, I’ll re-watch this whenever I need another little kick in the Ass.
ps, delete the moderated comment, i used the wrong prefix for my email.
All I want is to get you guys fast results I swear I wish I did have a magic bullet and could instantly get you guys paid, but we do have to do all this boring shit to get the results and it is time consuming.
Your family will be in our prayers and remember at the end of the day nothing more important then you wife and kids.
But that extra time also remember that the quicker you get all this shit done the more time you will have to spend with your loving family and all your sites will be making money for you. This is why not only do I believe in my set and forget business model but also teach it.
Stonkin,
Man, I feel for you. I am on a project away from home, again, and I have begin devoting my evenings to building BANS sites, and getting links. Miss the family a whole fucking lot, but knowing I will soon have a choice keep me motivated.
What Vic say works, hang in there and don't give up. Remember when you start making money (NOT IF)you have more freedom to do what you want.
If I can offer one piece of advice which helped me is I deleted all but three blogs from my RSS Reader, (Court, Grizz, and Vic) Stay focused, avoid distraction (like useless bloggers), and keep your eye on the trophy.
My best to you and your family.
Thanks every so much for your thoughts Vic and Ray. I really appreciate it.
Vic, you're so right. My wife and kids are the reason I get up in the moring, they are my world.
Hopefully, one day I'll get to where I need to be, when I do you'll have a personal thank you email from the Wife. She thinks you're a tool by the way. LMAO
Ray, I've worked away from home a lot in the past as well. It's so hard to be away from the family. Feeling for you too man.
Don't worry about me man. I'm doing what I got to do. But, things do get on top of you now and again. Thats why I thanked Vic for this Vlog post. The clown one helped too LMAO.
As for Vic, well how could you not trust what he says. It's been really cool getting to know the guy through his vlog posts. Some have made me laugh, some have made me cry, his passion and enthusiasm really get you by the balls. Respect to you Vic.
Other blogs LMAO, yes I only read Griz and Vic.
LMAO "a tool" I look forward to that email
HA Ha, I goto stop doing that. Slang where I come from is so fucked up. I just look at the other definitions for "tool". Oh fuck, you can choose…A Wannabe….or a Penis LMAO
Actually means crazy dude from where I come from.
No offence
Not to self….Grow up u Tool LMAO
Vic,
Whenever I watch an "inpiring" video like this, I feel like I'm failing you and your efforts to help guys like me.
The seven sites that I have built has started making money and if it wasn't for the present circumstances, I would be like into my 10 or 11 sites by now. DAMN!!
Costa I have not been a good friend I totally forgot that I have a debt with you. I promise I will take care of what we talked about.
No. Vic. If there is anyone who is in debt, I am the one who is indebted to you. What I learned elsewhere is noting if compared to what I learned here in a few short months. If ever there comes a day that I am able to pay off my debts and mortgage with what I have learned here, I will fly down to Puerto Rico and thank you in person and that's a promise.
Thank you for such caring words friend and I pray for you and your loved ones to have a break from the problems and gives you an opportunity to get yourself out of your financial hardship.
Vic,
Remember that we don't all have the unwavering drive that you do. I am in a hotel in Reading Pensylvania and won't be able to do anything this week other than work at my real job.
Actually it might be a blessing because I was burning out of the link thing and need a break. Not all of us can go at this thing 12 hours a day like you can.
LMAO I know but man Bruce I think sometimes I wanted more nad for you folks then some folks. I know how it is to get home late eat dinner and pass out on the sofa because of exhaustion folks working from home doign this shit is such a blessing
I want everybody here to Nuke Their Fucking Jobs 
Thanks, Vic! I'll go full blast creating BANS sites as soon as I get accepted into the eBay/CJ affiliate program. So far, I've sent them 3 emails (1 week apart), and each email focuses on a different benefit.
Well, at least I hope eBay sees it as a benefit.
Still no response from them, though. Will probably try emailing them every 3 days.
Thanks again for the videos, Vic!
Ok remember that now is EBN not CJ I just want to be sure you are at the right place. I need to figure out to help you folks that do not get approved but for now lets keep our fingers crossed that you do get approved.
Vic, I guess I'm about as clueless as they come, but since I've been following you for quite awhile, I'm not as clueless as I used to be!
Just so you know, I bought my 100 .info domains, signed up for a HostGator reseller account, and have been studying all day about putting the pieces together.
I figured I'd take a little break and watch your latest video. Yipes! Okay, I'm getting back to work … I promise. (Fact is, I was raised on a farm, so "work" is an old friend.)
Thanks for the education, and thanks for caring.
And Shirley remember since you will be working BANS not much to fuck up on if it was an Adsense niche then yeah your Adsense account would be in play but with BANS anything you fuck up we can always fix
SO the important thing is to get those 100 sites up 3 keywords each BMD Articles Directorys and comments on all 3 pages for each BANS site and then we can go back and either fix things or keep adding a few more keywords on each BANS site and remember you are not alone you can always come here and leave a comment and either me or one of the great folks that read this blog will help also with Vic's and Justin's super duper secret project all you folks will have direct access to us daily 
I think you just lit a fire underneath my ass! I know that sometimes I fall into the trap of overthinking this stuff so it's nice to be reminded.
Keep on preachin!
PS Touchblogging? LMAO!
I just want you guys to get rolling to have profits. Spend time on what is important and do not over think again been there done that LMAO :0
Hi Vic,
Great video post. Your videos are great. aside from the excellent tips, you are made for this! Your vids are motivating and entairtaining at the same time… Not to mention informative. I say you start a reality show with the 100 bloggers. The blogging 100…All we need is an island and a few huts with pcs and internet connections…lol
Reality show mmmmm you beign talking to Justin LMAO
Ohh The Drama .. .The Suspense .. The Scandals .. Stay Tuned next week while we see what the bloggers are eating to stay awake.
That would be so funny and cool!!!!
nope
LMAO!!!
Vic,
Since you have BMD on 4 computers, did you need to buy 4 copies of it or can we just use 1 copy and have it run on multiple comps. I'm thinking about buying a few extra comps so I can do muli long BMD runs while I'm at the 9 to 5.
Can't wait for the Vic and Justin show to start!
I have 4 licenses because I love Edwin and I support him but sometimes when it verifies the license it lets you get 2 computers at the same time and their license system does not catch it.
Thanks Vic. Great post. I apologize for emailing you, but you have to realize, when your following people for 8 months and finally realize that you have been getting false information, you just got to reach out to someone and touch something real. I didn't realize that I had been doing dumb shit until I saw Grizz's post in there and had analyzed my site almost to a T. I've reached out to him also, but haven't heard back, so if you got time Grizz, I'd like to talk to you sometime. So anyways, I'm guessing you are talking about me in there. Just wanna say thanks again, and I look forward to the contest. I appreciate you taking time out of your schedule to talk to me.
BTW: Your a funny ass dude, this post is awesome.
He will get in touch buddy just give him a break he is like way back on things mainly cuz of answering comments on his blog and spending time on my blog LMAO so he had to get to his network and business plus Grizz also owns a fishing lodge and multiple traditional business so as you might imagine he has tons of stuff on his plate.
I look forward to getting the contest going I think you will be amazed how Google reacts to some of the things that I will be teaching you folks and how you that are in a sports niche will just fucking kill on weekends on your blog
Oh yea, I figured Grizz is a busy guy. I'm not too worried about it. I'm sure I will figure it all out by reading his posts.
Hmmm, went to the mailbox today and found an affiliate check for a few hundred that has been laying there since Friday. Three guesses where I am going to invest that money and the first two don't count.
Im glad you reinforced the fact that this takes work, it is work , a lot of work but you have to look beyond the work towards the goal.
Me lovy affiliate checkies LMAO!!!
Just wanted to take a sec between setting up my sites (up to 30 but we had a busy weekend at the bookshop so time was an issue) to say thanks for this post.Looks like I'm in for a late night tonight!!
This is a seminal post Vic. It's what Unleashed is all about! Make sure you have a link to it front and center. It's the video the new folks need to see. Either it will click and they'll join us or they'll be scared and go running all the way back to their friendly twittering…
I hope I can reach people not only those of you that have already started in the path of real success but the new ones that reach this site that have been programed ion the kiss the "A-Lister" mentality and shake them to reason
Vic, no long-winded response, just the kick-in-the-ass that I needed. Keep it simple STUPID! Not rocket science. Get the links dummy. Thanks man.
LMAO yup not rocket science not at all
Note to self ^
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guys, if you need some BANS template to get going you can use mine here. http://uberbans.com/
Nice looking templates tnx
Thanks.
Hey Vic,
Great Post.
Quick question. I'm a newcomer to the site….(filled out the form for the contest!) but the big "New to Blogger Unleashed? Click Here" in the Banner….is that a joke? Am I falling for a rookie joke here? An initiation of some sort? Or is it just not linked to anything?
Like an idiot I keep clicking it hoping it will someday lead me somewhere. (I think thats the definition of insane…repeating the same action expecting a new outcome) Maybe I am.
Thanks!
Steve no it is not a joke LMAO!! Even though now that you mention it it kind of would be funny. Our server was hacked a few months ago and I still have some things broken and because of lack time I have not fixed it but I will this week.
You mention you filled the contest email form I have not received it yet make sure you fulfill all the requirements and I will get you in
Vic I just resent my info on the contest vid. I submitted it via the comment section under the contest video. Did you get it? Or was I supposed to send it some other way? Why am alwasy confused on your site lately? Geez as you can see I really need to be a contestant. Show me the light!
I got it and you are in
Thanks for taking the time.
Thank you for taking the time! Can't wait.
Did I get the message right? More links, more links, and DO THE WORK everyday.
Nice to know you can screw up a lot with BANS and still get paid. I'm living proof..totally new to what really works and the money is starting to trickle in.
Did you ever get a chance to look at your BANS stats and see if there is much difference in conversion for the minimalistic theme or full store set up?
I'm just putting up all my domains for now with simple logos and will go back and make them pretty later. I'd rather get paid now
Thanks again Vic!
Ohh shoot yes I forgot about this question my best CTR right now is a hybrid I between the minimalistic and the regular header tomorrow I will show it.
Thanks, can't wait!
Vic,
This is now one of my favorite videos! It reminded me of one of my favorite scenes from the movie "Boiler Room" when Ben Affleck is yelling at the junior brokers about "how to close" – basically telling them to get off their asses and do the work. I'll be watching this one every time I need some motivation. Keep it simple and do the work. It can't get anymore basic than that. I look forward to the day I can pay it forward. Time for me to get to work. Thank you.
“Boiler Room†LMAO!!! Love the movie and just love the message in it.
You can definitely see the Sales Manager experience peeking through! Awesome video. I'm happy to see how much your blog has grown, especially in the last week, because that means that more ears are listening to the truth you tell.
You're definitely justified in being fed up with answering the same questions over and over. You already have a huge body of work in the archives. Would you be opposed to someone creating a FAQ for BU? Maybe I could use my Squidoo lens for that.
I am so grateful that people keep finding us and having a real shot at making some cash
I will look at the FAQ 
I don't have anything put together yet. But if you're for it, I can work on a FAQ on my lens. I'll go through and make a list of the questions I see get a lot of repeats. Especially the ones you mentioned in this vid.
Vic, that's an awesome video take. You got me worried for a while when you became overwhelmed with animated passion about us who are still sitting on their asses. Thought the blood pressure might shoot up, LMAO! But all's well that ends well.
Markk I just want to see you all make money and quit your day jobs if that is part of your plan again all I want is the best for all of you
Vic your vid is right on the money! It get's the point across and wakes people up. On another note, I finally got bans installed on one of my domains! I screwed with everything so much that I don't even know how I did it. But I just got to do it 99 more times…some how.
I guess it gets easier after you do a few installs. Seems like quite a process though I'm sure it's worth it.
It still would be cool to see a step by step Vic Vid
Chris – read the installation guide pdf – in fact have it open on 1 screen and follow thru every little detail, in order on your site – it is the best guide I've ever seen with this type of software – it really does cover everything – now if there was just something of a similar quality for BDM!
If you've got a reseller account, have a look at Justin's vid for today. He tells how to upload to the skeleton files and it saves a ton of time with each install.
I've got the hostgator reseller account Vic talks about and put BANS in the skeleton files so that it is ready to go with each new account created. All you have to do next is create the database, remove the install file and go straight to the admin panel. Takes about 2 minutes for a new site.
Anyone got a link for "Jusin's vid" or blog – I can't find him on the linkroll?
You can find Justin's blog at http://www.bloggingzombie.com/
Shoot I am such a dumbfuck I will put up the link on the sidebar right now
does it have to be a reseller account? I missed that video.
If you are starting with a good sum of sites yes it will be best is it a must of course not but if you are starting with one a few domains you can start with a cheap Host Gator plan and when you get your first paycheck upgrade to a reseller they will help you move your sites.
If you click on the banner for Host Gator you can get the first month for one cent with the coupon code "Vic"
I made one but not totally step by step but i will do one
Hey Vic,
You raise a very good point. This stuff isn't rocket science. Those of us who've been following you guys for a little while should already have a relatively good idea of what needs to be done.
You're inspired me … but, maybe not in the exact way you intended.
I'm tired of spending hours and hours a day on the computer reading. It's getting to the point where even my wife, who's patient as a saint, is rolling her eyes at me when I say "I'll be off in a minute".
You know what's kind of ironic?
The percentage of readers here, who actually still have a blog about MMO or Blogging … you know, the ones they all wrote on to tell people about you. (I fell into that trap as well … blogging about blogging sometimes)
Personally, I'm going to swear of "Internet Marketing" and "About Blogging" blogs. (cleared out my feed reader about an hour ago) I'll stay subscribed to yours and Grizz's but I'm not going to be spending any amount of time in the future commenting on posts about who's a dumbass and who's a scammer.
I'm just going to build my local niche blog (thank you very much for the idea btw), and a couple of ebay affiliate sites.
Maybe even buy an egg timer that limits my computer time to no more than an hour a day.
Making money is one thing … but ignoring my family to do it kind of defeats the whole purpose. Don't you think?
Anyhow, I appreciate what I have been able to learn here these past couple of months.
I'll be rooting for you to take over the blogosphere, and send all the "scammers" and "fakers" packing.
Have fun with that.
Later,
Todd
Many studies have already proved that what we do is addictive as a second non sensory world is established sometimes setting a crash course between our real lives and our virtual ones.
And I am extremely great full as it might have save thousands and thousands of dollars to unsuspecting noobs. Their is a reader here that I will not mention the name that spent over $1,500 on "Blog Mastermind" products to never see one cent in return and just because you and others took the time to make a post about us that same person has already made $500 since following our advice, so feel proud you helped some one.
Very smart thing spend more time getting links as a matter of fact when the day comes that you feel that you have learned everything that you can learn from me or Grizz I would drop us also from the feed so you can spend time on what really is important.
The way I teach this business is all about set and forget. It takes me only around 2 hours from start to a finished built and promoted BANS site and maybe 4 hours on a wordpress niche so I would make sure to have multiple streams of income.
A trap many of us have fallen in. At the end of the day money is worthless but my family and looking at my kids straight in the face with out shame is the most important things in my life this is why I could not scam a person just to make money as you so well state much more important things then making money
If one thing I said or wrote in my crazy and distorted way makes you one dollar profit I am happy for that.
Do not know about taking over the blogosphere LMAO!! But tell you what Todd when my maker comes to take me to another place I am quite sure I will pass judgment and man I sleep like a baby
To Your Sucess
Vic
Hi Vic Mate,
Thanks for the vid. As you know its my birthday on thursday (hope you can sing happy birthday).
The wife and kids are giving me enough to buy BANs and some domains, and I have raised enough to pay for the first months hosting. So, can you answer a couple of questions so I am ready to go on friday?
1 – How do I get the domains from Godaddy to Hostgator?
2 – How long does it take to move them?
3 – Where can I get a list of sites to book mark, as I will have to do this manually for now? The same with directories?
4 – Key word stuffing, how many keywords per 100 words?
5 – Should I submit one article per page or per site?
6 – I know I need as many anchored links as I can get, but as I want to get as many sites up and running as quickly as posibble, is there a minimum number I should aim for, before moving on to the next site?
Sorry for all the questions but you know me LOL.
I will let you know how I get on.
Thanks for all your help
ALL THE BEST – JOHN

Hi Vic,
Sorry me again, I forgot something.
In your vid you mentioned about Google web master tools.
I have been waiting for 3 weeks for the link stats etc to show up.
Since then my indexed pages have dropped to only a couple.
Do you recommened removing google webmaster tools from my site, i.e the site map? Or should I have not used it in the first place?
ALL THE BEST – JOHN
I will answer in a comment and reaction vid
@ John, re getting the domains from GoDaddy to Hostgator – Hostgator will send you an email after you signup with something called "nameservers", you have to login to your GoDaddy account, click manage domains, select your domain, click nameservers (custom) and enter in both of them.
Jason buddy your site is not resolving on my end I have not seen your site since yesterday
Baah, hosting. Don't even ask, I'm already way pissed off about it.
Rule number 1 when starting a social blog – never take the free "lifetime" domain that is tied to your hosting accounts and then decide to switch hosts as you'll lose traffic and revenue while they f*ckup trying to get it transferred.
On a more positive note, I got accepted for the eBay Partner Network and will be buying BANS + a whole host of domains over the next week. I'm not sure if eBay Partner Network is the one your readers were having problems signing up for, but what I did is select "Paid Placement" for the business model and state that I would promote eBay by placing ads on affiliate blogs (load of balls but I didn't want to point them at my semi-dead blog) – I got accepted about ten minutes later. Something your readers might want to try, I think they're tougher when you submit a website for them to manually review.
Lastly, your videos aren't working, must be my sh!t Internet connection. That's two days of no humour, and the clown nose piqued my interest too
Oh yeah, I should probably stop with the f*cking essay in your comment section and get around to the sites. Laters!
That is such an awesome point I will make sure that I mention that in a vid it is one of those things Hosting companies do to tie people into hoting for a year with them. I hope the shit gets resolved quickly.
Thanks for that pointer on Ebay I will let all know again thanks Jason
Quick question mate. 1-2 aged (like ten year old) .COM domains or 10-20 brand new .INFO? I've heard that Google Sandbox is a b!tch, but GoDaddy's .INFO prices atm are pretty tempting
I've got around 90 domains with me, have to stop racking them up. To stick with the title of this post, I have promised myself that I will have my first BANS site setup and ready to go by the end of this week.
Talk about motivational speakers. Vic you said it all in this video, many thanks. Now guys and gals… Start building, do it, do it, do it!
LMAO crazy how that post started one way and ended in totally something else then the original intent was I guess that happens when you have ADD LMAO!!!
I use to think keyword stuffing and content were king until you stated in a previous post about wikipedia and how they can have the word one time on the page and get first page rank. That changed my whole few, and I have been going after links, links, and more links ever since.
Chad our business is all about links the reason most people fail is because of total lack of understanding it and also the willingness to do the work
Hey Vic, when I get some extra cash I will buy that Bans product and start with your method and test it out. If I want ti post a video response how do I login or register?
Colin the video response thing is with Revver so just sign up and it will open a little window to Revver
Hey Vic, Nothing takes me to Revver other then going there myself and searching for the video. Clicking on the login button to post a video response takes me to a wordpress admin panel, not to Revver.
mmm I am still learning Revver and this whole video blogging thing LMAO!!!. Go to Revver and create an account create your video and upload it it takes a while for them to approve it after that you can just paste the code here in the comments the Revver wordpress plugin lets us embed the code here in the comments I hope this helps
I also think that if you do the video comment response at Revver it actually will embedded here
Hey man well it is your lucky day, we are going to try this out. I am uploading the video to Revver right now and I will let you know when it is posted.
Just be patient with Revver. I love their interface and setup but geezzz they take for ever to approve a video LMAO
Thanks Vic,
Cannot wait for the comment and reaction vid.
I'll be like Sponge Bob square paints on steroids come friday.
ALL THE BEST – JOHN
Hi Vic
I understand the link thing. But I have a question about keywords too (another reader asked this too): on keyword stuffing what amount is safe to not get banned?
This is the only question remaining in my brain – everthing else is clear. Hope you answer
Mia
Mia go to Grizz site he has a post at his site that he explains in detail http://makemoneyforbeginners.blogspot.com/ I wish I understood blogger better but I really suck at finding post on blogger hopefully Grizz can take some time from working and post the link here.
Mia,
After much testing I have reduced Keyword usage to a pretty simple formula. Use the main keyword in your post Title. Once in a header. A couple of times in the post and that's it. You should however use plenty of relevant terms throughout the post to add credibility – this reinforces your topic as Google uses LSI technology to gauge whether your post is actually about the topic mentioned in the post title or whether you just stuffed it full of keywords.
ie. Your post title is "How to make a BANS site"
If your post contains only that term and never mentions ebay, products, themes etc then Google will think you are just spam. Basically just write a natural article about whatever subject you like and then make sure to have the main keyword in the Title, a header and once or twice in the post. Less is more. The bots are pretty good at deciphering what you are about.
Forget everything you have read about keyword density – not needed and not necessary. The Post title is the most significant indicator used. Just remember to use lots of relevant long tail keywords throughout the text. The more diverse the better.
Best of luck Mia.
Oh man. I am on it. I've just bought a whole bunch of domains and am waiting for the DNS servers to kick in.
Some of these will be for BANS, some for adsense, some for affiliate products. Most of them were .com domains – nice ones – so there might be some decent resell value to them too. I'm also going to put some domains that I bought earlier to use too – so that they start getting old and more authoritative. And i have made a mental note to stop buying domains when coming home drunk and happy from a swell night out. Not sure why I thought axelene.com was a hot url to buy. yikes. But she's all mine.
Vic? what's the best way to tell which moneymaking direction to go for a certain URL? I have taken it to heart what you said – CHOOSE ONE monetizing method. I did some preliminary free keyword search and for some of my domain names, there seems to be both high paying google ads with little competition, as well as Ebay products.
Oh man – I am so addicted that I haven't even checked my emails from clients in 3 days. I have no time to build sites for others (I'm a web designer) when I have so much work to do for meself
Must feed my new addiction. Must build a hundred blogs.
Ok – more to do on my action plan:
I have to try to figure out how to make Court's SEO Wordpress theme a bit more psychedelically neon in colour
http://courtneytuttle.com/seo-wordpress-themes/
Build my local niche site. I'm also moving across the country and so is a good time to set up a local niche site. I am also going to set up a local niche site for my non-tech friend who will take care of content while we split revenue.
Next, buy your recommended software – and learn how to use it.
And find time to write articles. I've been reading Griz's site too…how the hell is that guy able to write so many long – and totally entertaining articles? Every essay I ever handed in at university was late…that'll be the toughest block…
Thanks Vic. Keep those lessons coming.
Kinsey
I actually work monetization backward. In other words first I choose the monetization then I make the site.
So example right now anything related to products I will do everything possible to work Ebay service and products I can not find I work Adsense if their is competion if not then I find a matching affilite.
If you are new and do not fully understand Adsense start with BANS to get you goign till you keep reading and watching my videos where I will explain in detail how to built sites for Adsense.
Look at this video to see if it helps in keyword selection to get you going http://bloggingzombie.com/bans/setting-up-bans-si…
Yeah…I am trying to do this first too – choose monetizing before building.
In your comment are you saying that for Adsense, you want the competition? If there is no competition, you choose an affiliate product?
"products I can not find I work Adsense if their is competion if not then I find a matching affilite."
I bought some domain names with products in them so I will BANS those. I watched that video before..good stuff.
I've tried Adsense on one site, and make a dollar a day. It was not a product site though, more of a Flagship site. This is the first time I am going for the money…so can't wait for your adsense videos.
Adsense CPC value is based on Adwords competition
aha!
Vic you should get a channel over at http://www.justin.tv
There are a few "Make Money Online" video casters over there that get a ridiculously hugh number of viewers. You would shut them down in a heatbeat if you started video casting over there.
Stebe LMAO!!!!!!!!! I think you know where we are going but we decided to go to the straight to the NBA LMAO!!!! decided to skip college ball LMAO!!! I am sure you will love what we are doing we are finishing it today
Hey Vic, I uploaded the video response but for some reason it went into the error section of there site. The file size was under there requirements so I emailed then to see what is going on.
I will keep you posted!
Hey Vic,
I'm trying to piece together enough knowledge on BANS sites from all your posts as I can. this vlog helped a lot. Just trying to get an idea of the money I'm going to need to start. (gonna go in search of some loans!…my fiance will be thrilled ha ha) Correct me if I'm wrong here:
25 a month for a reseller account on Host gator
99 dollars for 100 .info domains
97 for bookmarking demon
and then need an article submission software (any recommendations) and a directory submission software (again recommendations?).
So thats a total of around 390 (if the article and directory submission software costs 97 each) and 25 a month to host.
Am I close here?
Then just the blood sweat and tears to get the anchor links. (how many anchor links should be be shooting for per site? and how can we find out how many we have?)
Sorry for all the questions just want to get rolling sooner then later.
Thanks man!
I forgot to ad the price of the BANS software. Add 97 to those totals! oops that might be helpful!
Steve if you are in a tight budget just start with BANS and BMD and then just comment a lot for links and buy as many info domains as you can. Now once you get your first Ebay check then keep buying domains and tools.
BOOKMARKING DEMON QUESTION
Vic to you manually sign up for the sites that won't work automatically or do you just forget about them and move on?
Thanks
Chad
Chris hit it really good
Chad,
I don't dare answer a question for vic but…I always enter them in manually. There's only a short list of about what…20 or so important Bookmarking sites right? These are the ones that count the most, and doing it by hand is really quick the BMD anyway. Plus once you have all of the sites on your account, you don't have to go through it again untill you exhaust that particular account.
Scuttles…let them go…that's what vic says all the time.
hope i could finally be helpful to someone.
Thanks for the help Chris bless you
Man Vic I freaking love it when you get close to the camera, you rule man.
Shit Court, I wait for the close up… then fall off my chair!
Grizz my whole reason for my existence and blogging is to make sure you get your daily fix of Vic LMAO!!!
LMAO You need to see my clown video LMAO!!!! Took me hours to dress my little cartoon in a clown suit LMAO!!
Thanks Chris, I never did, but will start
Hi Vic,
Got a response from EPN. They told me to try again in a few months. Argh!
Maybe I'll just go and partner with someone whose application was approved by EPN?
Manuel that is an actually good idea did they give you any reason behind the denial they make these emails so fucking generic!
They said they are unable to give the specific reasons. They encouraged me, however, to try again after a few months.
Maybe I should put up ID-less BANS sites, and refer to those when I reapply after a few weeks? Anyway, we'll see…
Thanks, Vic!
Just a thought – you could try registering thru HubPages -I have never heard of anyone complaining there that they have been turned down. Join hubpages – use my link on the link above
– do some hubs – get your hubscore above 75 and then apply to EBay using your profile page as your website. Like I say no guarantees but I have never heard of anyone being rejected on HP and I thnk most authors are new to EBay
COLIN GO PROMOTE PPC SOME FUCKING OTHER PLACE MOST OF THESE PEOPLE BARELY HAVE ENOUGH TO GET BANS AND YOU WANT THEM TO BUY ADWORDS ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID. I SPAMMED ALL YOUR COMMENTS YOU FUCKING COMMENT TROLLER GO TO YOUR SHIT SITE AND GIVE THE FUCKED UP ADVICE OVER THEIR YOU FUCKING SCAMMER
Hahahahahaha…
I knew you liked that LMAO!!
Sort of off topic, but I just did 2 BMD scuttle runs and keep getting account registrations from several runs ago. I thought I had cleared and created new accounts for each. I seem to be missing a major step here.
Not so worried about the scuttle, but want to be sure that I don't have this happen again with the others.
you have to clear all the accounts I might need to do a quick video on BMD again tomorrow morning.
OUCH! This is priceless. The bold lettering is very expressive.
I swear Chris this sorry mother fucker has the balls to come here and start saying yeah you should tell your readers that they will have to pay for hosting "NO FUCKING SHIT" I have told that in over 20 post and over 15 videos then this fucker goes into how I am getting you guys to buy clickbank products but he has the answer to all your needs "PPC" THIS HAS TO BE THE SORRIEST MOTHER FUCKER I HAVE EVER SEEN. How can you have a person that can barely spend on hosting as he wanted to say do fucking ADWORDS!!! I swear these mother fuckers come out from under the rocks!!
Vic, I like that idea of another quick video on BMD as I've got it and don't have a clue. Watched the other video and it helped a little but from a complete noob BMD standpoint, it could take weeks to figure it all out. Would love that video idea maybe from a good standpoint with top sites and what to do, pictures worth a thousand words, and then from a scuttle standpoint. From account creations to actual runs to whatever. I don't know what I'm talking about here as I don't know what I'm doing with BMD and when looking for tut's, didn't run many others than yours.
Appreciate it.
Chris
Done full step by step tomorrow expected
Awesome, once again, thanks Bro!!!! Now I won't have to twiddle around learning another new software trying to get going.
I agree please more info on BMD – I asked a whole of stupid questions over in the forums because I didn't want to clutter the comments! BANS was a piece of piss but BMD is seriously doing my head in and I don't want to piss off the premium bookmarking sites either! In the meanwhile I signed up for kaboodle as per Justins suggestion – I can at least understand shoping!
I will do a full step by step and also mark the real important parts again
Why didn't you do it for me last time, Vic???
Cuz I am a dick I am sorry I just find BMD so easy but you know I have been using it since it came out and some times we forget how tough shit was in the beginning so I am deeply sorry I should had made it when you asked you are so right.
LMAO!!! C'mon Vic you know I pick this shit up easier because I have some background in it I was just pissin' around with ya
but yeah I think if you have a break from your linkbuilding maybe some of these videos might help the rest (and I can perhaps see if I'm doing it wrong LMAO!!!) thanks man!!
I love the intensity and honesty in this video. You are a breath of fresh air in the blogosphere, Vic. I hope to see you dethrone little Carl Ocab for "make money online" and be able to spread more gospel.
That day will be cool but mm right now I am so deep in the box I am at page 5,786,098 LMAO!!!!
Hey Vic,
Just bought 30 .info domains. LOL. Now I need to figure out what Justin meant with his skeleton directory over at the reseller host.
I swear this reseller stuff is doing my head in. I had it all figured out in my cpanel and now it looks like I have to start over again.
Monika there are some really good WHM tutorials here http://www.hostgator.com/tutorials.shtml go check them out and starting tomorrow Justin and me kind of have a really cool thing we are fixing to do to help all you guys so you will have kind of a live support. If you get stuck let me know we will walk you through
I look forward to this surprise as I might need you for the first setup. You guys talk awfully tech geek and for a tech noob like me who learns by doing this sounds like Chinese right now.
Monika, I so agree with you. I checked into the resellers account also and after watching the tutorials I was even more confused. I figured if I can make enough to pay for one babycroc account I should be able to afford a resellers account. Just looks so confusing.
Struggling with getting my first Bans site open. I keep getting a lot of error. Think I need to reload the whole program again into my hosting account and see what happens. I get so screwed up on what everyone else finds so simple.
I joined the forum hoping to find some answers.
It will be nice to have a new video on BMD. I still get hung up on it and I have had it since it came out also.
It is no wonder my hair is all white!
Denise,
glad I'm not the only one struggling with BANS. If Bans is easy, I'm almost too scared to tackle BMD. My head is spinning from reading all the forums and tutorials, and 3 days later my site is still not working properly.
You will see how in the next few days all will be second nature trust me
We will be up and running later today
Vic, is that interface at bloggingzombie what you guys were working on?
That is the basics the real deal has not being unveiled yet LMAO
I know that this is off topic but last year when I used to follow John Chow he made a challenge to become a "somebody" in blogging using a false name. This was back in August and so far there hasn't been a single update despite commenters asking about it.
http://www.johnchow.com/from-nobody-to-somebody-p…
I find it hilarious that 8 months on he still hasn't posted an update which proves he really doesn't know how to make money blogging about anything other than blogging.
LMAO that is so funny
April,
I just tried to post a comment asking about his little challenge and he spammed it. The comments on the original post are locked as well. Has he ever given a reason for not posting on this – did he succeed? I have an idea for a post but want to make sure that he didn't accomplish the task.
Thanks for any help.
Griz
It seems you know as much as I do. I seem to remember him saying that he locks comments on posts that are older than x number of days. I've haven't been subscribed to his feed for ages. I mean, where are all the "how to make money online tips" that he's supposed to be posting?!
Perhaps he's hoping that no one remembers him posting that challenge or that it's a whole new bunch of readers he has now that never read that post.
Hey thanks April,
My comment ended up being posted so maybe one of his regular readers will give me an answer. It's been 8 months and it seems that 3k was the target to meet per month. If he hasn't achieved that mark by now one might just have to wonder if he can't walk the walk. Hard to believe but he might just be full of hot air! No wait – that can't be right. Of course John Chow knows how to make a successful blog from scratch…
of course he doesn't have all his gimmicks available anymore… Lol.
Certainly seems like something to call him out on.
Watch this video especially you Grizz and you will just bust out laughing when he talks about google slapping him you can tell he was just fucked but of course he has to say all the shit that he says cuz he needs people to still pay the 400 review LMAO!!

BTW my wife says he looks constipated LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!
That's $500 a review – inflation.
Downloading now…
What a joke, he is telling a lot of rubbish to all his noobie readers and they go and belief that shit. I wonder….
This is too good to pass up – have to do a post on this. (if Vic doesn't beat me to it)
Hey Monika – how's my favorite Oz doin'?
The funny shit is how you can see in his face when he talks about losing the Google rank you can tell he is hurting I would love to see his monthly Adwords bill
Folks I am finishing our Taxes
as soon as I finish it I will be doing a BANS and a BMD step by step to make it easier.
Trust me it is not as complicated as it seems jst need to get a few things and it will be done
You do your own taxes too! You are the MAN!
LMAo yeah me and my paranoid ways!
Hey Vic,
Quick question. What is it that makes the BANS software better then wordpress or blogger if you set it up the same way? I read and article:
http://www.thewritersmanifesto.com/blog/2008/04/0…
It talks about creating bans clones with wordpress. Is this a viable option until you make the money to but the software? Do you even need the software? As long as you get the anchor links does it matter?
Am I missing something?
Thanks for the help!
Steve K
It is possible. That's what I'm doing right now until my adsense check comes in to buy BANS. While there are several pros for these sites (I do mine in a different way), there are some pretty serious cons. I'm working on a way to remove as many cons as possible, but on balance I'm making money with wordpress bases ebay affiliate sites.
For every Wordpress site ebay built I build 20 BANS while you save 97 dollars I make an extra 10k No the setup is not the same if you are dead as broke no doubt it is a great option if you have the money and do not buy BANS your an idiot
I second Vic on that as in my post I never said you didn't need BANS. I just meant that for those who can't afford it, this might be a solution, that's all.
Guys, from NOT reading the whole thing, rumors start and soon enough there will be a movement that says such and such said that BANS is not needed.
LMAO!!!! And I need to read before submitt cuz people take the shit I say way to serious and man I always try to talk in general terms.
Steve,
BANS is specifically designed for the task at hand, displaying eBay auction feeds in a store like format. It is going to give you the best results because it's doing what it's designed to do and isn't something you're trying to shoehorn in. Of course, you can setup an eBay auction feed to work with WordPress or even Blogger but there are a number of challenges with doing both. You can see posts on my site describing what these are.
Where I'm using eBay affiliate widgets (aka Sniplets) are in some existing product/hobby oriented blogs where I'm already indexed and have a number of posts. This keeps my old content while adding the auction feature. I'm also trying it with some micro-niches via Blogger but getting the Blogger spam 'bot to not flag the eBay widget as link spam has been rather tricky so far.
And for the new person man it is just such an easy tool to have a real shot on making money until they learn keywords SEO etc etc cuz starting with Adsense just frustrates the hell out of people and the way BANS is designed their is no chance you will get flagged as a Spam site mmmm well let me correct that unless you get anchors for one thing and your site is about another thing then maybe but if it is straight up their is no way.
Vic, you are savoring this surprise aren't you? You've got us all anxious to see wtf it is.
LMAO yeah way cool I have had some technical difficulties but we should go live today
I am also uploading right now the BANS tutorial and I will make the BMD later today 
Vic, I promise I'm not cheap (or an idiot). Just dead broke! This wedding is killing me! I could be making these sites as we speak! Instead I'm trying to convince the finace to trust the guy with the cartoon character of himself and use the credit cards!
Believe me I'm frustrated! Hopefully I can get it done sooner then later. Thanks man.
Steve K.
Steve fuck you guys take what I say directly toward you LMAO!!! Folks stop doing that I talk in general terms yes buddy dead broke fuck it what can you lose way better then nothing but once you get the check get BANS instantly same thing with BMD dead as broke you can use onlywire most of the time it does not work and only one account at a time but it is still an option for the person that has no money and wants to take advantage of social bookmarking.
Again Steve you guys need to not take my saying directly at you
Ha ha. I don't take it personally. Just venting.
Thanks for this video, Vic. I felt a little ashamed watching it because I know I fit into the criteria of "over-thinking" and "ass-sitting". I finally bought BANS and when this month's adsense check is in, I'll be buying BMD. BTW, you, court, and grizz are the reasons I even have 'monthly' adsense checks. Thanks again.
Crap, sorry for the double post, vic. But I also wanted to ask if I got into the 100 for the Vegas contest.
John yes I had to turn down 5 people because they did not do the requested if you did not receive that email you are sweet
Folks just posted the BANS video tutorial
http://bloggerunleashed.com/tools/bans-step-by-st…
Hey Vic,
It's Mike the "golf guy".
I want to do a similar blog videocast as you are now doing. Can you tell us how we can do it on the cheap, but at an acceptable quality level?
Thanks dude!
Mike
The flip video camera seems to be a wide choice for the lower end and the free movie maker soft if you want to do blue screen and the works it gets a bit expensive really quick and Mike man it is all about the lights LMAO!! I still suck at lighting.
Okay Vic!
I'm talking really cheap…LOL!
I don't want to spend a bunch of money and find out my market (golfers) doesn't give a damn.
If anyone else out there has any suggestions please chime in
I have this really cheap webcam, would that work? And if so, how can I get it on my blog?
Mike
ohhh heck Mike the cheapest cam will do then buddy shoot go to Best buy or Ebay and just get the cheapest and you can record directly to a video service
Shoot I miss the you have a cam yeah look just go to youtube and try recording directly so you can see if it recognizes the cam
Vic,
You're not getting it:)
I am the WORST technology guy you will ever see. Can you or someone direct me to a resource on how to shoot this "low-end" type of videocast and get it up on youtube or revver like you do?
Sorry to be such a BIG pain in the ass Vic…LOL!
Mike
OHHHH!!! I got you Mike let's see Mike go to YouTube and search start video casting and see what videos are up their if you can not find anything let me know I promosie I will do s tep by step video post
http://www.freevlog.org/ is a resource for videobloggers who want to do it cheap cheap. As in free.
Cheapest is a webcam. Just so you know – People will accept not-so-good video, but the sound has to be good. Good enough to hear.
Most video bloggers upload their vids to a video hosting company like Revver (what Vic is using) but blip.tv is the most popular with videobloggers.
There's a video blogging group on Yahoo for more info. It sports some A-list vloggers like the creators of Ask A Ninja and Rocketboom (Hmm – hey Vic – wonder if these A-listers need a hypocrisy check
Of course they aren't telling people how to make money, and Ninja are pulling in a 100k a month ni nhttp://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/videoblogging/
They've also set up a wiki for resources – where to host, get music, how to compress, legal issues for web etc. at
http://videoblogginggroup.pbwiki.com/
Hope that helps
Irene
Shoot Irene you just made me look like an asshole LMAO!!!! Mike ask and I send him to YouTube then you come and give this awesome resource thank you so much for taking the time.
Thank you both! So they even have a name
Vlogging? Hmmm??? I am way behind the times I guess…LOL!
I will check them out and hope to get something going. If I do, I'll give you guys a link to my first one…but remember it's for the golfing crowd, so you may go to sleep
Thanks All!
Mike
Hellooooo are you crazy I look forward to hopefully seeing you at Vegas and you can join Grizz and me in some Golf would love to get some pointers from a pro
Hey Vic – that didn't take me a fraction of the time it takes for all those step-by-steps you do.
But here's a crazy story. Got an email from an LA producer yesterday – they saw a 1 min video I put up on Youtube and they want to use it for a new tv show. Here's the kicker…no money exchanged. Credit only.
Ah c'mon! Now I said yes, because I can spin the story of a US broadcast farther than I can squeeze a video sitting idle on Youtube.
But man oh man – I gots to get me BANS and adsense sites up and pulling in some money because man – this "fame" stuff doesn't pay. ha ha.
Vic,
I give up! Went on youtube…nothing!
Hey…since my last few comments put you over 200 comments for this post, do I get a prize
Anyways…if you or someone can show this "non" tech guy how to get a video cast up on my blog I would be forever greatful.
Sorry once again for being such a pain in the butt!
Mike
Yes you won buddy LMAO!!! Listen I will make a step by step but also please come back tomorrow as I should have something new we are doing that will help you in a step by step
Awesome! Thanks a TON!!!
Shoot Mike my pleasure buddy
Vic, this is the most inspirational video that i'ver seen! Thanks mate, when i feel that things are not ok, i'll allways look to this video.
Thanks A LOT!
I just want you folks to stay focused and do not worry you are not alone we are here to answer questions
Vic,
I've gone from nothing to $7 per day per site with no backlinks and a PR of 0. Age plays a role if you can wait.
Go figure. I'm still trying to find out why.
Age is a wonderful thing LMAO!!! The important thing is you start getting them links because you usually jump in the SERPS and then it comes down but that is ok it is supposed to do that you will bring it back up with the links
Well Vic I've always said you're a jackass and you are, but fact of the matter is that you put out AWESOME information. I've learned tons from you. Thanks!
I know my delivery just rubs wrong but if it makes you money or saves you from the traditional 9.95 ebook that you will have to later pay 29.95 a month then I feel I did the correct thing. All I want is to be helpful. I am glad something I wrote or said has helped you in some way.
Vic,
Are you going to put together some kind of tutorial on how you implemented video? I now have all the required tools, but would sure love to see how it's done from putting videon on PC, tweaking it, then getting it up on the web how you do it.
If you're too busy, no worries. Maybe somebody else can chime in
Thanks,
Mike
Hi Vic,
Thank you for pulling the wool off my eyes and slapping my face back into reality.
I have been jerking off with social bookmarking and other crap for 3 years and making shit money!
Although I am an ebay virgin I am going to take your advice and try BANS because I am sick of filling these wankers pockets.
Excuse my language but I have mouths to feed and I can no longer afford to finance these scammers.
Some of these name pop up like mushrooms and after reading some course they join the generic crooks bandwagon and perpetuate the whole thing to the next generation of newbies.
I found your site by accident and have been watching videos here since yesterday. I look forward to to digging the archives.
I like your honest "no horse shit" approach ,its like a breath of fresh air but I dont trust anyone on the net anymore so till I test BANS and it works I wont make any positive comments.
I'll keep you posted on my progress.
Keep kicking butt!!!
Nigel Nix.
This is an incredible wakeup call for me. I am a dumbfuck. I have a blogging about blogs site with adsense and some other deadend blogs that I will have to rethink and/or dump so I can do what you say here: Work work work the keywords and get the links!
You are my new hero and guide. Now… gotta get BMD and dump blogrush!
Ohh yeah this is something I will definitely try thank you so much. As for the soft ohh hell yeah it would be a huge time saver so i look forward to beta testing
Make sure you look at my BMD video and also make sure you join the BANS support forum they are really good. BMD takes a few days to really fully get it but once you do you will do your BMD runs blind folded
Vic,
I have used vmware for years and can't rave about it enough. I've used it for everything from secure virtual workstations for outside contractors to domain controllers. If you plan on using a number of virtual machines at the same time you will have to have a heavy duty workstation class system.
What you can do with vmware is limited only by your imagination.
Beau
You folks have me pumped up with it and can not wait to learn the ropes
As far as BMD and other licensing is concerned load everything you want on the first virtual machine. make a copy the virtual machine and replicate it as often as you want for as many machines as you want. You have to change some basic things like name and VMID but those are simple. But, no licensing issues. After one system load, you could create an infinite number of machines. Get a string of public IPs and you have a virtual army of systems. I think you see the possibilities with this setup.
OMG!!!! That is huge talk about mass promoting!!! Thank you folks so much I love I am so stoke like you mentioned the possibilities are endless and the coolest thing I can have my linux dose on a bigger scale LMAO
LMAO trust me I understood what she meant but then again most people think I am a dick anyway LMAO!!! SO multiple definitions apply!!!! LMAO
Colin I can not see it on the video the response box opens but it does not load could you post the url here and I will make sure the video gets posted here right sorry for this I need to figure put the video response thing.
As soon as my ass gets up tomorrow morning I will jump on it trust me. I can not do it now cuz mmmmm everybody sleeping at my house LMAO!!!
I will also do a step by step on BANS today
What's going on in Vegas? I told you I'm obviously out of the loop
No please be my guess dude I was like a serious shit magnet a fewe months back and now again I am like on every bodies lets fuck with list LMAO so please break his ass down Grizz style
Ya know Vic – I bet he is getting crap traffic – I mean very little. 28K readers and 10 comments. The numbers are either fake or nobody bothers to go to his site. Would you – look at the crap articles he is posting. lol
Griz style it is then…
Shit I'm never gonna get any real work done -damn you Vic!
