A great time in Argentina!

So I took the extra 2k I made last month from my online money making ventures and went to Argentina as I stated I would. I spent a week there, visiting social works, tourist hot spots, great restaurants, and learning to tango.

It was so cheap it was unbelievable. I only ate at the fanciest most chic places and took taxis everywhere. I had $1300 to spend on food, lodging, and activities. I gave an extra $150 tip to my host the last day and still came home with $300. I couldnt spend it all. I cant wait to go back.

Here is a pic of me learning to tango in the streets of Buenos Aires!

Dont make fun of the hat and scarf, they required it. I know I got a huge head.......it didnt fit...lol...

The ebook is coming along great!

I just finished the chapter on how to make money with ebay / flea market items. It's so simple it will shock you. Here is a picture of my wife an son working the local flea market. She netted $200 this day working from 9 to 2. And yes, thats our Jaguar in the background.........paid for in cash. She is doing ok...lol...

So the trip was a success!

I am still compiling the information in a ebook form to tell you how I accomplished it. Should be ready in a week or two. One great example is how I made about $400 in an hour. With the 4 pieces of paper shown here in my hand. It's just a great example by using a few of the simple techniques I use, you can pick up some easy extra money for travel! And do I mean easy! I look forward to sharing it with you.

Coming information.

I am traveling to Argentina next week. It's part of an experiement I'm doing for this blog too. I used "online money making" techniques to earn all the money for the trip! I plan on taking a small amount of cash to buy imports to bring back and sell and try and earn the value of the trip again.

I am documenting all of these ideas on what works and what fails to make available to you here. Stay tuned.

Where I started.............

One of the first things I was introduced beyond ebay and such, was the idea of selling information. The one thing I really loved about this concept was you could create one product, and resell it over and over on autopilot for a good lenght of time.

So I tried it as an experiment. I decided to write a book for people who wanted to go to Brazil to trian jiu jitsu. A very small niche group, which everyone recommends having, and something I had done and was a expert on.

I decided my time was worth at least $20 an hour. So my goal was however many hours it took to write the book x $20 would be my financial target. If I hit that, I would be very happy.

It took me 30 hours to complete the first "Pre-release" version. I priced it at $30. So I needed to sell 20 copys to make my goal. My first month of promoting it online, I sold over 30 copies, made more than my goal (over a 1k dollars).

The next month I took a partnership in a financial firm and stopped with the online activities. So I never promoted the book again after that first month. Though now I am with more time and back to my online money making magic, I will probably ressurecte the book and start others. It was fun.

So now the big question. Where do I start? Well I read about 10 books on the subject, and afterwords realized I only really used two.

The first which really laid out the idea was "How You Can Make $4000.0 A Day, Sitting At Your Kitchen Table, In Your Underwear!" I purchased this book for $19.95 online and this gives you the reseller rights too. If anyone wants it, use the dontate button above. Any donation to my childrens work of $10 or more I will send you this book if requested. Just make your donation and in the subject or comment box put "kitchen table". I'll email it to you within 24 hours. You will also then have reseller rights to it too, and can sell it to make back your money.

The second book was "How to Write and Publish your own eBook... in as little as 7 Days" These guys are incredible and this book is a real how to step by step course to get it done. I highly recommend it and if you are going to get it, please click the link below to buy it. It cost the same no matter where you get it, and by doing it here a portion goes to our childrens work.

I hoppe to answer the most common questions I get from my blog at gringojiujitus.com Funny enough, its not about jiu jitsu, but about "what I do" to be able to travel to 15 nations, live overseas, serve others, and train jiu jitsu.

Well, part of my income does come from online sources. It increase every year. I did take a partnership in a financial firm last year, so I have been tied down a little. I recently have cut back my hours while improving our numbers. Eventually, I hope to have enough online income streaming in, that I can walk away from the firm, and take my laptop anywhere, and still make more than enough money.

So in this blog, I will share with you what has worked for me, and what hasnt. Hopefully it will bless some of you enough that you can travel and pursue your dreams too (or maybe it doesnt require travel). Alot of guys that read my jiu jitsu blog want to make enough money online, to be able to train full time, and pursue their fighting career dreams. I hope to help you too guys!
