A Webmaster's Dream Come
True - "Secret Money Generator"
By Willie Crawford
You look at your beautiful website, getting a steady flow
of visitors, and wonder how you can squeeze more money out
of it. Maybe you're even getting a few sales, but you
want an easy way to generate even more. You want a
"secret money generator" if you will.
I was in the same predicament 3 years ago. I had my site
at Chitterlings.com which was (and still is) selling a
cookbook that I wrote. I had days when I was getting
tens of thousands of visitors... mostly looking for
seasonal recipes. My challenge was to find something to
offer my visitors who didn't purchase my cookbook. My
challenge was to find something else to offer my
visitors who DID purchase my cookbook :-)
Somehow I came across a magazine jobber. He offered to
allow me to sell magazines to my site visitors. This
sounded perfect. There were literally hundreds of
different titles that I could offer, and the profit
margin was VERY high.
So I downloaded hundreds of images from a resource site,
and set about building webpages describing all of these
magazine. I logged into my affiliate program, and set
up hundreds of order links. It took me almost 2 weeks,
but I though that the webpages I created were true works
of art.
I linked to those pages, and notified members of my
recipe exchange list of this new site feature. I also
posted teaser copy strategically throughout my website.
Then the orders started coming in.
Then the headaches began! Two to three times a week I
received an email from the jobber telling me that prices,
or magazine availability, had changed. So I had to go
change ALL of the affected pages. When I received an
order, I had to manually forward the order to the jobber
in a very specific format. He forwarded the orders to
the publishers, and 4-8 weeks later, my customers'
subscriptions started. In the interim, I'd get
dozens of emails asking for an update on their
subscriptions. It just wasn't worth it... so I stopped
selling magazines :-)
Fast-forward 3 years, and it took me less than 30
minutes to set up another magazine shop on my website.
It now takes me about 5 minutes to update the ENTIRE
site which features over 1200 titles.
Why am I telling you this and why do you care? Well, YOU
can now quickly and easily add a "store" to any of your
websites... plugging in literally millions of affiliate
products. Most major affiliate program managers offering
more than a handful of products now offer webmasters
data feeds. These are generally provided as Comma Separate
Values (CSV) files... spreadsheet files. The webmasters
uses various tools to extract this data and display it on
their webpages.
Countless brick and mortar companies now have affiliate
program. Everyone from Office Depot, to furniture stores,
to clothing manufacturers, will now allow you to sign up
for their affiliate program and offer their product to
your website visitors. No matter what the topic of your
website, there are affiliate products that are ideal for
your visitors, and there's a good chance that there are
also data feeds available for these affiliate programs.
The tool that I use to get data feeds onto my website is
actually called "Secret Money Generator." Secret Money
Generator is a program you install on your website. You
design a few basic templates using either the built in
capabilities of the software, or use your favorite html
editor.
Next, with the click of a button... the software:
1) Uploads your templates to your server.
2) Uploads your entire database to your server.
3) Builds static html pages featuring the individual
products.
The static html webpages are actually built right on the
server by the software. You can see one of hundreds of
such sites I own and profit handsomely from at:

After I designed the templates, which took me about 20
minutes to get them looking the way that I wanted them
to, I uploaded them to my server. Then with the click of
a button, the software built 1843 pages on my site in
14 seconds.
Site maintenance merely involves getting updates from
the respective affiliate program manager, and then
uploading the updated csv file at whatever frequency
you desire. Then with the click of a button all 1843
pages are automatically updated...it takes about 10
seconds.
To update the look of your entire site, you just make
changes to your templates, upload these, and... again,
with the click of a button update thousands of pages
in mere seconds!
You can plug "a store" like this into any of your sites,
or dozens of your sites, in very little time. I spend a
few hours on many of my sites getting them just the way
that I want them. Once things are set up it's largely on
autopilot. Since I now use affiliate programs I don't
have the tracking or order fulfillment headaches I had
years ago with that first magazine site. The magazine
affiliate program that I showed you is even 2-tier, so
I'm earning lifetime commissions on both my customers
and those of other webmasters I set up with a magazine
site... or any of a dozen other 2-tier programs I promote.
You don't have to market inexpensive products from your
sites though. There are affiliate programs offering
products selling for thousands of dollars EACH, and they
provide data feeds too. When you get Secret Money Generator,
you also get a list of lots of places that offer you huge
data feeds. There are data feeds that feature over 1
million products :-)
Take a look at "Secret Money Generator" now at:

It comes with a step-by-step video tutorial. The tutorials
are very nicely done in Camtasia. The software developers
also periodically conducts hands-on training workshops. I
attended one in Orlando, Florida, January 28th - 30th,2005.
There are others planned in Orlando and Las Vegas. The
workshops aren't required, but they are an excellent way to
see how other Secret Money Generator users are creating
some awesome sites. It's a great way to get to know this
powerful software inside-out.
Whether your site is on... training your gold fish, carpet
cleaning, or raising perfect children, you can plug in
a Secret Money Generator" profit stream very easily.
After you get your secret money generators up and
running you only need to point your website visitors to
them. You can also plug in lots of powerful site content
and this will send you droves of organic search engine
traffic. For example, the site I showed you above now
gets as many as 27,000 unique visitors on a good day...
all from free search engine listings. It literally is a
veritable money machine.
I've just shown you "a webmaster's dream come true." Now
you have absolutely no excuse not to turn your website
into "a secret money generator."
