@ Evan – thanks … unfortunately, in being ‘transparent’ in this post – even though, I’m basically ‘debunking’ some of these ‘scam’ sites – and giving out the links, I had [I since removed them!] inadvertently broken some WordPress.com rules.

They haven’t yet removed my “warning banner” – or responded to my support e-mails (now, that’s a little slack!) – so, I am still a little worried about what they might do …

Just recently found your site and I have to say I love it. Unlike other PF Blogs, you are talking about making money instead of paying too much for my cell phone!

I have ideas for websites almost daily. I have linked “my first try” to get it up and running I only spent about 45 bucks FOR THE WHOLE YEAR! I haven’t started to advertise it yet, because I need to work on the look and feel but take a glance at it.

I wish you the best of luck. If it does turn out positive, it will give hope to all that read and have been in search of that online money making door. I have no first hand experience with this but i’m glad I found this.

@ 6months – I’m pretty sure it’s ‘dead money’ … I would like to find a ‘venture’ in a similar price range that does at least produce a modest result … maybe, I’ll eventually have to allow advertising on this site (although, I’ll have to wait until, WordPress.com allows that option) and post the revenues/costs monthly … not sure, yet.

I’ve tried something like this (clickbank). Total spend was 139.95: 49.95 for the ebook and a mirror site and 90.00 for a 3-day Google Adword campaign. Nothing came out of it though but I was (like you) doubtful about getting any results to begin with. ‘Hope you have better luck with your venture.

I’m at least interested in the case study, even though I already know it’s possible to make money online. Over the past year or so I’ve learned quite a bit about how one can make a little cash on the side online. It’s been quite the ride so far.

@ 1stimer – You’re absolutely right! Worst Case: I’m spending $400 so that YOU don’t have to … and, I get a nice shiny new site that I can show to my friends as a side benefit … shiny stuff is nice

@ Blogrdoc – Just an ‘experiment’ … if I’m lucky, you’ll run a few more that I can link to instead of having to burn through my OWN money You’re still on my RSS feeds … although, I tend to rely more on a once/twice a day visit to Alltop.com now.

You are my hero! You’re blog survived my massive rss feed trim where I went from 25+ feeds to 5. Keep us posted!! BTW – did you look into stevepavlina’s ‘Site Build It!’. Alls I know is that stevepavlina claims to be making a lot of money and he looks legit. The irony, though is that he did not use ‘Site Build It’ to make his website… hmm.. something doesn’t sound right about that.

For real? You’re gonna spend $400 on this program?

Wouldn’t a financially wise person say that ‘investing’ $400 in a prospect that has a very slim chance of providing income to you, is not as wise as putting $400 in a low-interest but guaranteed investment vehicle?
