Things People Do For $5 

Online Cash Secret No.1: Fiverr 

Have you heard the advice “Do whatever you are good at”? Well that’s what 

making money on Fiverr (www.fiverr.com) is all about. Even if you are fairly good 

at something, that can be sold on Fiverr. No experience necessary. No age limit. 

No geographical restrictions. 

What is Fiverr 

Let’s put it this way: Fiverr is a place where you can sell your services for $5 

(actually $4, Fiverr take $1 commission) or buy services for $5, and by services, I 

mean anything that you can possibly do. Ever heard of freelancing? Fiverr is 

freelancing on steroids! It connects buyers and sellers in the simplest way ever 

founded on internet. If you are new to the whole concept of making money 

online, Fiverr could be the best place to start. 

So anything you can fill in the blanks with in the above picture is a money-making 

opportunity on Fiverr.

Examples 

Let’s dive into some examples right away. Some of things people are doing on 

Fiverr for $5: 

Did you see how easy it is? So say you live in Paris, you could do the following gig: 

I will stand near Eiffel Tower and hold you company’s banner for $5 

One of my gigs that I run on Fiverr was: 

I will send you postcards from Bahrain for $5 

Think about something you can do easily in a short amount of time; these are the 

best things to sell on Fiverr. I have a little software that can convert pdf files to 

Amazon Kindle format. “Turn that into cash!” I told myself! So my gig was as 

simple as this: 

I will covert pdf documents to Amazon Kindle format for $5 


Headline 

A Fiverr gig consists of two main elements: headline and the body. Here’s how to 

produce headlines that will fall on reader’s eyes and make them click your gig. 

Be specific: Make your headline a bit detailed, not to the extent to 

distraction, but specific enough to make you stand out from other gigs. For 

example, check out this one: 

This user could have written, “I will record a voice over for $5” but the 

added information “I will record a voice over in a British English Accent for 

$5” makes it stand out from the rest. And it’s more specific. But it’s not so 

wordy; it’s just a little more specific. Once you click the headline, the 

description can be read, that’s where rest of the details can be dumped. 

Be funny: If you can be funny with your headlines, please do it! Just like 

funny people, funny headlines get more click-through rates! Example: 

Be unique: If you can provide a service in an unsaturated market, chances 

are you will be read. For example once I put up the following on Fiverr: 


Body 

There’s literally no one else on Fiverr who offers to be your personal time 

manager for a day! Quite unique isn’t it! It got 800 clicks in just a few days. 

When you click the headline, the description (or body) shows up. This is very 

interesting. You can only write up to 450 words of description so you’ve got to 

make sure you write it in a persuasive way. Here’s where you put more details 

about your offer and put links to your samples if you have any. The best way to 

learn how to do such persuasive writing is to read other people’s gigs. 

Promote Your Gig 

The more “views” or clicks your gig receives, the more it will show up on Fiverr’s 

frontpage (or 2 nd page or 3 rd or 4 th and so on) or when someone searches for a 

particular gig on Fiverr search box. So it makes sense if you promote your Fiverr 

gigs, chances are money you will make out of it. Some tips for promotion: 

Promote it on Twitter/Facebook: Click “Seller” on the top bar and select 

“My Gigs”. All your gigs will be listed there. Any gig you want to promote, 

just click “promote” as shown below and twitter/facebook options will be 

shown 

Promote it on forums: I’ll talk more about forums in chapter 2. But the idea 

is simple: There are various forums on the internet for various niches, so 

you can select a forum of your interest and then either actively or passively 

promote your Fiverr services there. 


No Need To Be An Expert 

You don’t need to be an expert at the services you offer on Fiverr. Although 

expertise will help, it’s not necessary. I showed you an example above of 

someone who offers to do voice over recording. How long does it take it take to 

be just “good enough” at voice-over recording? Just a few days. How long does it 

take to learn to use a normal digital camera? A few minutes. So you don’t have to 

go for high-profile services on Fiverr. Take your time to play around at Fiverr, 

experiment with anything and everything. And yes, happy money-making! 

Next Steps 

Jump over to Fiverr (www.fiverr.com) and create a free account. Moreover, you’d 

need to create an account with PayPal (www.paypal.com) because Fiverr 

processes all the payment through PayPal. 


Learn From The Masters 

Online Cash Secret No.2: Warrior Forum 

There’s one place on the internet that’s the birthplace of hundreds of now rich 

and famous internet marketers; that place is the Warrior Forum 

(www.warriorforum.com) 

What is Warrior Forum 

If you are serious about making money online, the best thing you can do to 

yourself is join the warrior forum. It’s a talent-infested pool of internet marketers 

where they teach and sell their stuff. Even if you don’t sell anything on Warrior 

Forum, you’d benefit just by reading their discussions. Talk about getting ideas! 

Just Hang Around 

Make it a habit of hanging around at the Warrior Forum, it’s the best way to 

spend your time on internet! A few days into it and you will start thinking like an 


internet marketer! And that’s the cold truth, making money online is all about 

marketing. 

Signature 

Joining Warrior Forum is free, though there are advanced paid levels too. For 

starters, register for a free account. Then create your “signature” in your profile. 

It’s just like the way you create signatures on email accounts so every email you 

send out has that auto-text written underneath. 

When you create a signature in Warrior Forum, it will show up under every post 

you write. So say you created a gig on Fiverr. Now you can copy the link of that gig 

and use it as a signature on Warrior Forum. That’s very basic by the way, but at 

the same time very powerful too. 

Advantages of having a signature? It’s your very own self-referral system! And it’s 

exactly how many internet marketers sell their services on Warrior Forum. That’s 

indirect selling. Some one notices your services because of the signature and then 

they might even contact you for some projects. 

That’s very powerful because at any given time, there are literally thousands of 

internet marketers and wana-be internet marketers present on the forum. And 

these are not casual visitors. It’s a hungry crowd out there! And they can snap 

upon any good opportunity they come across. So don’t miss out on this simple 

signature technique. 


Figure 1: Click on "User CP" then "Edit Signature" 

WSO: Warrior Special Offers 

This is very interesting. People who get the hang of this forum and get used to 

how it works, they start selling their products via Warrior Special Offers (WSO). 

That’s an advanced membership level and requires initial investment of around 

$40. But the dividends are huge. Just check out some of the WSO’s there and 

you’ll know what I am talking about. 

Once you become competent enough to create an info-product (more about this 

in chapter 6) of your own, you can create a WSO and start making money out of 

it. But the only kind of products that get sold here are money-making products, 

more specifically internet marketing products because people visit this forum for 


one main reason: To learn how to make money. So that’s the audience you’d 

need to cater to in this forum. 

Don’t worry if it’s too early for you to start using WSOs. Begin with the signature 

strategy. That alone can make you more profits that you can imagine! 

Next Steps 

Head straight away to www.warriorforums.com and get registered for a free 

account. Explore the site. Get used to it. It’s going to come in handy a lot! 


500 Million Customers 

Online Cash Secret No.3: Facebook 

If you haven’t heard about Facebook yet, it means you live in a cave! 500 million 

active users and 1 billion conversations taking place on Facebook is a massive 

potential. 

Just imagine if you could use Facebook to sell your products (any kind of product, 

from clothes to origami to eBooks to anything you can possible think of). That’s 

what this chapter is all about. 

Brick and Mortar Shops 

“Brick and mortar” shops are a term given to the traditional physical shops, the 

ones you see on the street. You’ve got to pay their rents, electricity bills and 

employee payouts. You need to pay for the building maintenance too. And you 

also need a permit to run a brick and mortar shop. These are very heavy costs. 

All these costs can be eliminated if you choose to run a Facebook-based business. 

So that’s the first benefit of doing business on Facebook: Massive reduction of 

costs. 

The number of your potential customers on Facebook is 500 million! Compare 

that to your small little garments store located on the strip of a road that’s visible 

only to the regular passerby’s. 


So you can turn your physical shop into a virtual online business without spending 

any money on buying and hosting websites! 

Example 

Here’s an example of how I used this technique. I just wanted to try this out 

myself to see how it goes. So I choose something that’s actually very difficult to 

sell online. I mean, its market is huge and there are buyers for this product 

everywhere but selling it online and to international market is a headache! I am 

talking about Sheesha! 

I had absolutely no idea about this market before because I personally don’t like 

this stuff. But once decided, I spent 2 weeks researching this market, locating 

local wholesale stores, their prices and types etc. 

Then I setup a Facebook page (not Facebook profile, you can’t run business on 

profiles) and put up some ads there (which I created using Photoshop).To my 

surprise, I found there were several groups related to this product on Facebook. 

So I joined all those groups and posted my Facebook page there. 

In a matter of days, I had people from different parts of the world enquiring about 

my services. 

The customer response was huge and I made some bucks out of it. But eventually 

this business had to be stopped because the tax on such products is very high and 

so my profit margin went down. 

Now, I don’t recommend you to sell any such product online! It’s too risky and 

time consuming market. Talk about handling and packing and posting the stuff! 


Talk about cargo and freight charges! It’s a competitive but a difficult market. Plus 

it gets heavy on ethics and morality part! I hope you know what I mean ;) 

Next Steps 

So why did I share my story above? To tell you that if I can do it, you can do it too! 

And you can do it with any kind product. Just go for something that’s easy to 

handle and manage. Here’s a recap: 

1. Select a niche where demand is high 

2. Create a brand name 

3. Create a Facebook page with that brand name 

4. Fill the page with your business info: types of products, prices, your contact 

info etc 

5. Select a payment method (Best option is PayPal) 

6. Join several groups related to your niche. 

7. Market your business in these groups 

8. Be ready to answer customer queries 

9. See the money flowing in! 

10. Create ads and put them up on Facebook using iFrames and FBML. iFrames 

and FBML are huge topics on their own and out of the scope of this eBook. 

Lots of resources are available on Google on these topics. 

Note: Of course you can use all the above steps to complement your existing “brick and 

mortar” business. This could be a huge marketing engine for your offline business. 


Amplify Your Facebook Sales 

Online Cash Secret No.4: Payvment 

This follows right from the previous chapter but I am including it as a separate 

topic for one reason: This particular strategy is very powerful and not well known! 

What I am talking about is a great little plugin called “Payvment” 

(www.payvment.com). This plugin converts any Facebook page into a fully 

functional ecommerce store. It automates all the payment and makes selling 

online a breeze. Best of all, it’s free! 

All you need is a PayPal account, which by the way, is also free. And a product to 

sell. Just keep in mind; you don’t necessarily need to sell a physical product. As a 

matter of fact, physical products don’t sell as much on the internet as soft 

products like eBooks, video courses etc. 

In chapter 6, I’ll give you some ideas on eBook creation so you can start off easily. 

Next Steps 

Visit www.payvment.com and go through all the provided documentation and 

tutorial videos available there. Since all these resources are available on the 

website for free, there’s no point duplicating all that here. Watch these videos 

and you’ll be able to setup your very own Facebook ecommerce store! 


Word of Mouth Advertising Made Easy 

Online Cash Secret No.5: Social Taggers 

Social Taggers (www.socialtaggers.com) started in Bahrain in 2010 and is a very 

unique and futuristic approach to social media advertising. I call it the best social 

media advertising platform in Middle East. It basically pays you to be social on 

Facebook and Twitter! Here’s how Social Taggers can benefit you if you are either 

the advertiser (using Social Taggers to promote your services) or the social media 

user (who makes money by promoting the advertiser’s message). 

For Advertisers 

When someone first hears the word "Advertising", what comes to mind are 

billboards, flyers and brochures. This "traditional" way of advertising takes a lot of 

time to learn and it's very costly. But if you want to know the latest advertising 

method, which is so easy that even a sixth grader can use it, then this is the most 

interesting article you'll ever read! 

There's an amazing new online advertising platform called "SocialTaggers" - 

www.SocialTaggers.com - which instantly taps into the potential of 500 million 


Facebook users and 2 million Twitter users, at the fraction of a cost. And using it is 

simply a matter of few clicks. No need to spend hundreds of dollars on graphics,

you will read below, is a revolution in the advertising industry. 

SocialTaggers connects advertisers with social media users in the easiest way 

humanly possible. If you are an entrepreneur, this is how SocialTaggers will

ever created: 

SocialTaggers Pays Social Media Users to Advertise for You! 

That's the hidden psychological benefit that makes SocialTaggers so attractive. It 

gives an incentive to your customers to do word-of-mouth advertising for you. It 

creates an automatic "referral system". 

Now that I have your total attention, let me tell you once again that advertising 

with SocialTaggers is very easy. All you have to do is follow two simple steps: 

But... 

1. Write up a tag (a tag is a short advertising message) 

2. Let social media users spread your tags on their Facebook and Twitter 

networks 

What If You Are Not The Advertiser? 

Then SocialTaggers is a place where you can earn money! SocialTaggers lets you 

earn money INSTANTLY by just doing what you already do on Facebook and

SocialTaggers: 


You don't need a website or blog

What Sells Online 

Online Cash Secret No.6: Info Products 

World Wide Web is all about instant gratification. And what mostly sells online is 

something which can be instantly experienced (thus instant gratification) like 

eBooks, software, songs, video trainings etc. Of course you can also sell physical 

tangible goods online for example furniture etc. But I would not call that a 

“passive” source of income. 

What Is Passive Source of Income? 

Traditional model of making money is: Work hard, make money. Work harder, 

make more money. Keep on working hard, keep on making money! 

Passive model: Work hard once, make money. Make money. Keep on making 

money! 

This has been made possible because of internet. Imagine, you work hard initially 

to create an e-product and then you put it up online for sale. That’s it. You won’t 

have put any more effort on creating the product. All your effort will now go to 

bringing traffic to your website. Once you’ve built enough traffic sources (an email 

list for example), you won’t even have to worry about getting customers. All you’d 

need to do now is regularly promote your product to your email list. And watch 

money rolling in for many, many years to come. Matt Furey 

(www.mattfurey.com) and many others like him have done that. 


Info-Products 

Info-Products sell like hot cakes on the internet. All money-making eBooks and 

courses are info-products. All self-help based reports etc are info-products. Info- 

Products can be created as easily as writing a word document, like the one you 

are reading right now! 

One of the easiest types of info-products is eBooks. 

Tips To Create eBooks 

You don’t need a PhD in English to write an eBook. You don’t need to be the 

master of your subject to write about it. You don’t even need good writing skills! 

All you need to do is identify a problem which a particular market (niche) has and 

then write a report describing a solution to that problem. Yes you can do all the 

research from Google! 

If you really hate writing, then record it in your voice as if you are talking to 

someone, and then just type it out. 

An eBook can be as short as 10 pages! What matters most is the information 

contained in it. If that information is worth your prospects money, it’s worth 

selling it. 

Another idea: If you know someone who’s an expert in the niche you are 

targeting, interview him/her and then you can sell that interview as an audio or a 

transcript of it. 


Sky is the limit when it comes to writing an eBook. It could be on any topic, 

literally! If you are good at baby-sitting, for example, you can write “7 Ways to 

Take Care of The Child” or something like that. 

Ideas From Your Personal Life 

If you are finding it hard to come up with topics to write about, come up with 

ideas from your own personal lives. For example, I used to stutter very badly for 

many years, yet I was able to overcome most it. So probably I will be writing an 

eBook on how to cure stuttering. 

If you had great success at weight loss for example, you can write an eBook about 

your weight loss struggles and achievements. 

Recently, a good friend of mine betrayed me. There you go. I can write an eBook 

about importance of trust in relationships! 

So basically what I am saying is: You can turn your problems and experiences into 

info-products and profit from them! 

Suppose you’ve created your info-product, how do you go about selling it? One 

way is to sell it through Fiverr as discussed in chapter 1. Another way is to create a 

one page website and sell it there using a sales page. The art of writing such a 

persuasive sales page which makes people buy your info-product is known as 

Copywriting and that’s what the next chapter is about. 


Turn Words Into Money 

Online Cash Secret No.7: Copywriting 101 

How to Turn Your Laptop into a Money-Suction Machine 

In Just 15 Minutes a Day! 

I can bet with my own money that you found the above headline captivating and 

if not, you might as well bang your head against wall (hehe). Copywriting is simply 

using words that make the reader go “Gee… that sounds like the only solution to 

my problem! I’ve got to buy this product!” And it all begins with eye-popping 

attention-grabbing headlines. 

Use words that portray something very visual in your headlines. This works for all 

writing purposes, not just copywriting. 

Remember, at any given time, there are hundreds if not thousands of copywriters 

writing for your market. And since headlines are the first thing that drops off the 

retina of the readers, you’ve got to make sure that your… 

Headlines Must Stand Out From The Crowd 

Like a Single String of Hair On a Bald Head! 

How do you do that? Make it so visual that your readers won’t have any problem 

imagining it (How hard is it to imagine a single string of hair on a bald head!) 


Another idea is to write your headlines in an out-of-the-blue question format. 

Out-of-the-blue- questions will really make your readers imaginative and 

anticipative about what you’ve got to say beyond that headline. Example: Who 

Else Wants To Lose More Weight While Sleeping Faster Than You Ever Thought 

Possible?! 

Now that is surely out-of-the-blue because you normally don’t hear such 

questions, so using that as a headline will hit right on the creative cells of your 

brain. 

Or you can start headlines with a number: 9 Tips To Get Fair This Summer! 

“Heck! I hardly know 1 such tip and even that doesn’t work! And you say you have 

9 tips? Im gona have to click that headline right away!” – That’s the kind of 

response your readers might have when they read the headline above. That’s the 

kind of reaction you want to generate. 

So I’ve given you three tips to generate awesome headlines, which you can use 

right away in your next article or sales page or whatever. Think I learned these 

tips from school? You bet. The writing skills they teach at schools won’t make you 

a single penny. 

So now that we’ve covered some ground on headlines, let’s spend some time on 

what to write in the sales page itself. Well, let me first tell you what NOT to write: 

Don’t write your sales page or ads in a literary style – because you’re not 

going to get any grades on that. 


Don’t use highly creative words for which readers would have to consult 

their dictionary (assuming they have one) – because it’s not a creativity 

contest. 

Don’t write it as if it’s news – because news articles are full of boring 

statistics and figures that makes the reader nostalgic about their history 

lectures. You don’t want to put your readers in a nostalgic mindset if a 

minute later you are going to make them an offer to buy your product. 

The list can be longer but that’s good for starters. So what you should do in your 

sales articles is to use stories. Stories about the problem you are addressing. 

Stories about the struggle you faced. Stories about someone else who went 

through the same situation. And then blend it with your sales pitch! 

What does so-and-so think about your product? Write it down as a testimonial. 

It’s all about getting the reader hooked up with your words all the way from 

headline till the end when your finally present them the “Buy Now” button. And 

the only way to become good at it is by practicing. 

So get off Facebook and Twitter and spend some time reading sales letters and 

ads of some of the most famous copywriters of the world! Where to find them? 

Here: www.HardToFindAds.com 

Next Steps 

Once you get the hang of copywriting, start selling your services. You can start 

with a very low paying option such as Fiverr. Then use them as samples to build 


your portfolio. Then you can promote yourself on Warrior Forum. Why not even 

promote yourself offline to local companies? 

Copywriting is not like being a journalist! Who hasn’t heard about the pitiful lives 

of journalists… they have to work their souls off to make a living. Great 

copywriters on the other hand, charge anywhere between $2000 and $5000 or 

even more, to write one copy! But of course, you have to build up to that by 

practicing and studying the works of other copywriters like: Gary Halbert, Dan 

Kennedy, John Carlton, Clayton Makepeace, Matt Furey, Frank Kern, Ben Settle 

and Jason Fladlien …… to name a few!
