I Think I’m Going To Cry…
Posted by Jason in Daily RamblingI finally transferred the website files, domain and eBook rights for www.lazy-riches.com today – no more money off that particular eBook for me. It had made close to $4,000 if not more in the three weeks it was on sale; something that I’m pretty fooking happy with and will definitely aim to surpass next time around. Sadly, I’m out of ideas; I’ll have an idea for an eBook to build up by mailing list, but I probably won’t sell that in order to build up subscribers.
I have my ICT exam today; did pretty decent on it apart from a couple questions which I knew f all about as well, I didn’t study. I wrote a paragraph or so of bullshit for each of them so hopefully will get a good end result. I’ve got a holiday tomorrow which is the reason for this extended post today; it’s slightly longer than yesterday’s, but it’ll still be short – I’m supposed to be studying. I’ve got Islamic Culture, which I don’t know what’s going to happen – we’ve received no notification of how the format of the exam will be, so err… a guaranteed A* then? After that of course I’ve got Mathematics and Statistics, two subjects I definitely need to study for, especially with Math worth 50% of the final grade.
I’ve had a few questions about the guest poster position – no, it is not a paid job. Well, I’ll give you a buck per 1000 words, as long as you make no spelling mistakes – sound fair? Seriously though, I’d hope that a guest post on this site would be just as beneficial to a guest poster as it would be to me (in helping me pass them exams) – TUK does receive 350 – 500 unique visitors a day and with 90 ish RSS subscribers, it is a good place to start. I’ll also return the favour when you need a guest post for all those that write up a guest post for me – if you do consider me worthy enough for your beloved blog, of course
I currently have a post in from my buddy Thomas Sinfield which will go up tomorrow – as well as a pending post from Can’t Get Rich and a semi-pending post from Sammy (not going to use the title of his blog, cos well – I still don’t know what the fook that means
). That should be enough to get through the exam days; one more would not be too unappreciated, as well, I could relax for a bit then, but I’ll be ready and back in full flow on the 7th of January. Just three more exams and then I can really turn on the money making schemes…
I’m still earning, but not as much as I should be – made another $250 or so in eBook sales yesterday and the day before (combined) and also sold a Digital Point signature link for $40. The eBook sales were a large part of my income for last month, and now they will totally die so I need something else to make up for them. I’m working on a few things, nothing seriously obviously until the exams are often – argh! I can’t help daydreaming about the free time I’ll have when done – even during today’s extremely fun ICT exam.
That’s all for now – I promise more useful and constructive posts when the exams are over. Later!

WooHoo! First comment! Those are getting harder to get with the activity on the site now! Anyway good luck with the exams and looking forward to the “more useful and constructive posts”!
Why did you sell the site if you made over $4,000 in just 3 weeks?
@ EGK, don’t worry. Lots of things to write about then, hehe. TUK is growing, still waiting for the header to go up so my blog doesn’t look totally the same as a load of other ones…
@ Tevin, I actually wanted to sell the website so that I could concentrate on my exams. When I sold it, it had made $1.3k in revenue – so $1.5k was a good deal (eBook sites sell differently to usual sites).
The buyer paid with an eCheck that took seven days to clear… in those seven days, I doubled the income. I wanted to ask him to cancel, but that wouldn’t be right… in business ethics, so I went with it. At well, it’ll buy me a nice TV or something, eh
$4k is an awesome flip for an eBook/website just a few weeks old! Imagine if you could do one of those a month! I wouldn’t be too dissapointed, and I’m sure your not….
BTW, whats up with http://webmasterdiscounts.com ? Not much going on there for the last few weeks.
Jason, you’re really pushing me to start with this eBook shit, aren’t you? LOL. I realized in the last three days my AdSense earnings have been dropping without me even realizing the drastic drops. Need to figure out what the hell is going on there. Parked domains STILL making a huge chunk of my revenue, but I’m going to start exploring different things to keep me occupied. The whole eBook thing makes me wonder… how the hell do you get traffic to the site? I can get traffic to the sites not a problem, but I’m not sure it would be *eBook* targeted traffic.
Kinda want to go all out on a site, but not I’d want to since I’m so damn lazy. Eh enough commenting. Time to go back on DP and get entertained some more.

@ EGK, the hosting of the friend that it’s on (Mark) fooked up and neither of us can upload files for some reason. As for the eBook site flip, I’m looking at it – out of ideas at the moment though
@ Sammy, damn fooking straight I am. If you want some advice, you know who to ask. As for the parked domains, meh – seemed like a LOT of work. Adsense died last month too for me, CBA to promote…
The newb count at DP seems to grow daily… hehe
Hi Jason, great blog. Good luck with the exams i know how your feeling going through them myself at the moment.
Wish i could write ebooks!
James
$4 K in three weeks is definitely not bad. Ditto to JamesReadmanDotCom. I also wish I could write ebooks!
$4k in ebook sales. Good going jason… keep it up..
Sold my first ebook site for $950 (generated about $250 or so in a week). So, that’s a good start anyway
Best of luck with exams, and the money making schemes Jason..
The words of you guys have given me an idea… I’m going to take it and run with the mofo.
Stay tuned in the next few weeks… after the exams, of course
Wow! 4k is a great. It sucks that you could not keep the website. Hopefully, you will make another ebook which will surpass making 4k.
And what would that genius Idea be.. Jason..??
Wait and see buddy, wait and see.
I passed up studying for Islamnic Culture yesterday to write 14 or so pages of the eBook… should be done by the 10th, hopefully…
I’m sure it has been done before, but maybe an eBook on how to write and promote an eBook for profit could be a big seller (especially considering that you have done it and you seem to be getting a reputation for it).
May be your current idea, maybe not. Just a suggestion I guess.
Wait, thinking about it now, maybe you have already done that one…..
Go on Jason, let your feelings out, so we can videotape you and put it on youtube
Why do i get the feeling that it’ll be an ebook on how to write, promote and make big bucks out of an ebook..eh?
anyway, I’ll wait
Ouch, y’all are too smart…
The eBook is done, thinking whether to launch it today or after the exams. After the exams would be better, but we’ll see
As for Youtube, no fooking way
Cool.. so i WAS right
good going Jason..
Do lemme know (online or offline message
) once you have it up for sale.. would love to read it
Then we put Jason out of his place :p
