Up to $555 - FREE - is a beautiful thing!

Recently I’ve been getting emails from gamers who tell me they’re not making quick cash fast enough; their ROI could be better, they say, and after talking to these folks I realized that their complaints all shared a commonality. And it reminded me of…

A month ago I had some time to hit up Las Vegas. At night, as I walked down the boulevard I had a vision of the casino managers bursting through their doors waving crisp hundred dollar bills and yelling, “Come on in! Play right here… FREE CASH!”

But of course, not a single casino manager or owner offered me a single buck to enter their lobby.

And I thought to myself… in Vegas you’re taken for granted; no one offers you free cash.

But in the wondrous – dare I say – glorious world of online gaming, casinos actually compete with each other to earn your business – which means they try to out-offer each other with bonuses, bonuses, BONUSES, which translates into… FREE CASH for you!

Up to $555 is a beautiful thing, but if I just deposit a mere $100 I lose out on $455 – that’s Four Hundred and Fifty Five FREE Dollars which I’ve just let slip through my hands. And what really bites is that as I play I realize that had I just had that extra two or three hundred bucks I would be that much better off – I would be playing on the casino’s dime (which in my book is the only way to play).

And that was the issue – these complaining gamers weren’t depositing enough, which meant they weren’t collecting enough FREE CASH, which meant they were starting off with less free cash than they could have had, which in turn meant their ROI was substantially less than it could have been.

Lesson is: deposit more up front, collect more up front; play on the casino’s dime!

Bloggin’ 4 Cash – two new options for you to consider!

Options are everywhere when it comes to making a quick buck in the worldwide blogosphere – one simply needs to find and fill the niche that best suits them. Here are two more options for you to consider:

Ever thought about Selling Text Links?

In the selling text links method you attempt to sell text links to webmasters and businesses that want to increase their own traffic by improving their Google ranking. It’s important to isolate and concentrate on a specific niche so that the potential text link buyer will see the benefit of buying from you. The good news is that selling text links (or contextual text links) is pretty simple and does not involve a lot of legwork. The downside is that the money earning potential is directly affected by the popularity of your blog, and so in order to get to a substantially profitable position, at first one must dedicate a lot of energy to the blog itself.

Ever thought about the Adsense or Affiliate made-to-order Blog?

This type of blog usually focuses on one specific topic with high-priced keyword potential, e.g., plastic surgery, home loans, etc. The blogger will usually create around 20-45 keyword rich posts on said topic, optimize it for search and set up Adsense and/or Affiliate Program accounts. The benefit is that after writing the initial articles, not a lot of effort is required on the blogger’s end. The disadvantage is that competition is heavy, and generating traffic might be easier said than done.

Always remember that the key to Blogging for Cash success is passion and an unwavering commitment to succeed. Do it, and do it well, and before you can say Surfing Gringo Surfs All Day your blog should start you off on the road to success.

MULTIPLE BONUSES are a beautiful thing!

Many online gamers collect the initial Welcome Bonus but forget to grab their share of the other multiple bonuses offered on subsequent deposits, some of which are upwards in the $1,000 range; not claiming your multiple bonuses is a damn shame and just plain stupid. Why?

BECAUSE Multiple Bonuses are a beautiful thing - they allow you to continue playing on the casino’s dime. After all… why dip into your own wallet when you can dip into theirs?

Here’s my “How to Avoid Dipping into My Own Wallet” strategy:

I sign-up to a casino and collect their Welcome Bonus. I use this FREE CASH to play until I reach my set limit. Then I move on. Next casino, new sign-up, new FREE bonus to collect. Once collected, I play! When reaching my limit, I move on to the next site and claim some more FREE CASH. I start the process again, and I usually like to hit-up at least one more casino that day– by now I’ve acquired a sweet little bankroll of the casino’s $$$! I immediately head back to the first casino I signed-up with that day and use the FREE CASH from the previous casinos to make my second deposit, thus collecting the next FREE BONUS. After playing for a bit, I move on to another casino, and so on and so forth.

I’m sure you see the logic of the “How to Avoid Dipping into My Own Wallet” strategy, and I invite you to share with me your own success stories!

Blogging for Cash!

The money-making potential of blogging is unlimited; the key to successful blogging is choosing the framework which best suits your schedule, experience and interests. I’ve chosen to focus on three distinct strategies which you can implement in order to generate revenue and further your blogging career.

1. The Uber-Blog
The Uber-Blog is both the hardest to maintain and the most profitable type of blog there is. In a nutshell, what you’re doing is placing all your eggs in a basket and hoping they produce a soufflé; meaning, all your energy is focused on this one blog in the hopes of garnering traffic. Once reaching a certain level of exposure, these sites tend to generate their own buzz thus creating a cyclical effect. With Uber-Blogs, your main profit source will usually be direct advertising sales.

2. The Splog Route (aka the Spam Blog)
The Splog is basically an artificially created blog which pulls content from RSS feeds, search engines and news sources. It lies in an ethically grey area of the blogging realm as in some cases automatically pulling content ignores basic copyright or privacy laws, but the advantage is that the Splog requires little work from the blogger. With Splogs, your main source of income will usually come from Adsense ads or affiliate programs.

3. Rising Up The Ladder
This method is simple yet very work intensive. The concept is: create several blogs which you maintain over a period of time by writing concentrated content and building up their Google page rank. Then submit said blogs to as many “get paid to blog” sites as you qualify for and earn income on the terms offered.

In closing, whichever blogging method you choose, always remember that the key to success is passion and an unwavering commitment to succeed. Do it, and do it well, and before you can say Surfing Gringo Surfs All Day your blog should start you off on the road to success.

More Money Than Ever!

9 am, Barry the accountant calls. Turns out with the combo of blogging, referrals and smart gambling (no, smart gambling is not always an oxymoron! – check out THIS SITE) last month was a personal best for me – I pulled in over 12k! Which is awesome because last month I spent more time hitting the waves than I did sitting behind my desk.

When you think about it, it’s kinda’ mind blowing how you can just sorta’ create cash out of air. It’s sick how easy it is but I guess that’s the wonder of the internet, right?

And my secret? There ain’t no secret. It’s simple. You go to a site like OptimalGaming (you can see the banner for this casino at the top of my page), use the cash in a splash smart gambling method and watch your winnings grow. It’s also real easy – HERE they know which casinos give you the best odds when using their method.

Anyhow, 2pm rolls around and I’m signing on the dotted line – 2008, Harley-Davidson FLSTF, Custom Fat Boy – all mine! Then faster than a roulette spin I gear up and hit the waves, soak in the sun.

Picture me, perched on my board, that same Cali sun setting just beyond and a sweet wave about to crest. Can you taste the salt? An hour later I still have that salty taste on my lips, but this time it’s from the Margarita in my hands - I’m sitting at Jake’s Bar in Malibu – my girl beside me, my board beside her, the Mariachi band serenading us both...

Today was a good day.

Everyone deserves a day like today, and the beauty is you don’t need a ton of money or some angel investor to start it all up. I’ve been doing this for a year and a month, and if I knew then what I know now at this point I’d be raking in millions.
As your humble Surfing Gringo is all about karma loving, caring and sharing, let me share another tip with you:

Say you DO go visit OptimalGaming – from there it’s just a simple matter of signing-up, downloading the FREE software and claiming your $555 SIGN-UP BONUS. I suggest you play a bit, learn the site, make some cash and then publish your very own blog.

Then if you’re anything like me, next thing you know your life is all about sun, surf and sand! Or maybe you’re the Beemer driving, Hollywood Blvd cruising type.

Either way, you’re living the life you want.

Let's Get Busy!

It’s called a two-for-one deal: I knew there was money in the casino business but it took me a while to understand how much of it I could take for myself. On the one hand I hooked up with top casinos, advertised them on my blog and earned crazy cash, and on the other hand I just HAD to check the ads out myself to see what the fuss was all about.

I have to tell you, never in my life have I earned easier cash than what I made gambling. I’m neither a magician nor a mathematics expert; I just know the internet pretty well. I know where to get the answers on how to take luck OUT of the equation.
I found a site that knows how to make money with specific casinos, and yes, you guessed right, the first thing I did was to post the same casino ads right here in this very blog. My earnings skyrocketed and it’s no surprise, these sites can be B-r-o-k-e-n into pieces. These casinos have a bit of a problem because the guys here came up with a simple method to make huge amounts of money at these online casinos. It still works and is available for whoever wants to try it and earn easy cash.
Once I became a player, besides being a promoter, my monthly income shot up to $9000 a month. I make around $3,500 from blogging and an additional $5,500 simply by applying their method. It might sound crazy but it really works and anyone can do it.

It all depends how much you’re willing to work for it. I’m not talking about making the whole $9,000 at one casino, you have to mix it up a bit and earn a relatively modest portion so the casino doesn’t think you are cheating…listen closely: THIS NOT CHEATING – it is perfectly legal but let’s face it - casinos HATE losing money so they will claim anything they want.

The simple instructions are straight forward so that anyone can make money. The beauty of being a blogger and a player is this – if you decide to apply the method, I don’t mind if you click on the links in their site because that TOO is income for me. Are you following? You follow the link I gave you, which means I referred you, then you play and apply the method through their link – that too is income for me! You can do this too by setting up a blog, and that’s what blogging for cash is all about.

For now get the feel of the casino and only then move on to opening a blog, get to know what you are going to “sell” on your site. Open a real player account and take their cash bonus (free money upfront, anyone?) and start winning like madman, or madwoman.

Do you understand how easy this? No? Once you make $9,000 a month you will.

It's Money time!

There are millions of blogs out there but only around 20% of them are still active because the writers have motivation –cash being the main reason…. I’ll tell you this much: those 20% are making, or CAN make - a ton of money. This may NOT be the fact for the 15 -year old girl who writes about getting up in the morning and yawning, the obstacles she faces when brushing her teeth and the crucial dilemma of what to do about Steve-what’s-his-face’s crush on her.

Girls can talk all they want, BUT MONEY TALKS LOUDER. More and more people recognize the revenue potential within the world of blogging, and that is the main reason they keep doing what they do. Even the smallest bloggers are feverishly looking for ways to capitalize on their blog reach. The way to do this is to incorporate blog advertising into…that’s right: your blog.

You can turn your Web log (hey that’s like the word “blog”!) into a digital cash cow with minimal time and energy. Take what I’m doing as an example – I hooked up my blog to work with the casino niche – a niche that produces ridiculous amounts of money for anyone involved. I’m talking about the bloggers who promote them and I’m talking about the players who can make a jackpot killing in just one go.

Many casinos run “affiliate programs” – these programs offer bloggers a way to earn commission on each click or sale they generate for a third-party website through the posting of banners and websites. Some of the top casino ads can generate massive returns when cleverly integrated into your blog. You should test a number of advertisers to see which performs the best. Although this can involve some testing, the returns on this type of advertising are normally much higher than with Adsense-type advertising.

No offense, but most people don’t know how to generate income from their blogs. They put a mix of “things” together with no reason and hope for the best. You should basically come up with an income plan. When I first started this site 13 months ago I was making $3000 per month. That was a nice figure for me back then but today $9000 feels a lot better. It comes down to a bit more than just writing blogs and putting up great ads, more on this next time.
