I want to share a fast way to make money as fast as today.  You can tweak this and use different tactics you’ve learned , like using PPC or other traffic techniques, but what I’m about to show you is a free way to make some money fast.

I’m going to go through it step-by-step, and this can be done in as little as an hour.

Step 1 – Go to Google.com/trends

You’ll find 10 hot search trends that have been updated within the last 2 hours or so.  Below number 10 you’ll see a link to get more hot trends.  Click that and it will take you to a list of the 100 hottest search trends on Google.

Look for search terms that indicate someone is looking for something specific that you can monetize.  Here is one that is listed as I write this post, “pure digital flip ultra series f260 camcorder.”  As I write this, that list was last updated 55 minutes ago, so this something people want right now!

This is something that is hot right now, and you should jump on it fast to try and make some quick money.

Step 2 – Find an affiliate program

This could be the most time consuming step, depending on where you already have affiliate accounts setup.  Search for a program that you can to the specific product that you want to offer.  Not a landing page, or optin page or anything like that.  A page with the product on it, and a link that lets people buy it right then.

Step 3 - Setup a free blog

Go to Blogger  and setup a free blog real quick.  This won’t work with Wordpress because as of right now, they don’t allow affiliate links on free blogs.  The blog doesn’t have to be something real fancy, we’re not worried about making it pretty or setting up any SEO plugins or things like that.  Just throw it up and get it ready for content.

When you choose your blog name, choose something that has to do with your offer.  This will help with people understanding what it is you have to offer, and that you have what they want.

Step 4 – Write an article about the subject

This is pretty self explanitory.  Write an article about the product you’re promoting.  After you post your article, make sure you have your affiliate link in the article so you can direct people to the product so you get paid.

Step 5 – Social Bookmarking

Go to Digg and other social bookmarking websites and bookmark your page with them.  Visit as many of these sites as you can and get your new blog listed.

Now you’re done.  You’ve spent about an hour doing this now.  Maybe a little more, maybe a little less. 

Not all of them are going to work, but you will hit some BIG money makers from time to time. 

I don’t have any statistics to give you yet on how well this works.  I just started doinbg another variation of this technique a couple of days ago.  I got to thinking about it and was thinking about the possibility of using free blogs to do this.  Then I saw a guy I know in a forum I’m a member of and he was talking about this. 

He is successful about 40% of the time.  Since he is not spending any money to do this, 40% success is great!

Anyway, hope you found this useful.  If you’ve got any ideas to share about this, please post a comment and share with everyone.
