Ha! What a coincidence. My dad (Retired Army) emailed me yesterday "tell me how do you get ads to pay you for click from your site?"

This is going to be a long holiday visiting home...

Anyways, Your dad is a dentist, Go with what he is familiar with? Dentalplans.com affiliate program? Payout $40-50.
 
I would tell him to create a blog about dentistry and start him off there. Get him to produce great articles, videos, pics about the dental industry. Then get dental manufacturing companies to purchase ads on the site. Throwing him into CPC, SEO, etc... from the start will overwhelm him. After he gets familiar with building out a site and some entry level stuff, then tell him about the larger opps. Hope this helps UberAffiliate!

Well yeah. I've discussed and it is understood that I'm not going to be telling him everything, and that I'm not going to be telling him what makes most of my money. I'll tell him the mistakes I made, give him some suggestions as to offers (that I don't run but I know are profitable), and then let him chat away with all his affiliate managers

Jesus, this is the man who brought you into the world isn't it? You sound like it's some annoying bastard who is going to be bug you all day long with stupid questions. Why not tell him everything? He only gave you your fucking life dude. No offense, but I hope my kids don't grow up to be this snotty.
 
Well actually I told him what makes me most of my money, what I meant was I'm not telling him how to do the exact same thing. I'm obviously grateful that he gave me my life and that's why I'm going to spend time helping him get into it and making some money.

I'm thinking about getting my wife involved with IM and AM and building sites with me once she finishes school. All you can do is try and see what happens...
 
That's cool then, it just sounded like you didn't like that guy... :)

I brought my father in law into it and I know where you're coming from as I ended up doing everything for the guy. I love him and all that, but c'mon... It's very interesting to watch these old farts though they think it's sooooo easy, until you start explaining what they have to do.
 
My roommate say how I made $15 a week off a website I set up in 10 minutes and has been bothering me to teach him. You have to understand that we take our internet knowledge for granted. We know a lot more than we think we know. For instance, anyone in this thread can probably find anything they want with Google search. It's second nature. Now go watch your parents try. Here's my mom trying to brainstorm on a new color to paint the dining room with. "What color of paint goes well with a cornecopia centerpiece? thanks."

Unless you're dad already is pretty savvy with the internet, it may be a longer journey than you're ready for but I think most of this stuff is pretty straightforward. The marketing of it isn't the hardest thing in the world but execution is the tough part. Even little stuff like editing vBulletin templates is pretty daunting for someone with zero web experience.
 
That's why a lot of us rarely brags about how much we make, to our close friends. They'll just come pester you for advice and stuff, and they'll KNOW NOTHING! And you're gonna have to WALK THEM THROUGH EVERY FUCKING BABY STEP! and taking up your time that you could have been making money/creating more ventures/relaxing/vacationing/having sex etc, and they tell their friends how you are making $15 a week off 1 website and their friends come look for you.

It's even worse when family come looking for you, because it wouldn't be nice to tell your dad's sister's uncle's hot niece's grandfather's grand-daughter the hot niece to "fuck off" now would ya? You'd wanna get laid with her!

So you go on and help her, and tell her everthing via email/webcam/in her bed and then 3 days later, she comes and:
"Hey Teddy, what's a one way linking?"
"I told you 3 days ago while I was giving you cunnulingus!"
"Oh yeah, you did, but I forgot the process, hey you know what? Can you linkbuild for me instead, and I'll let you go in this time?"

...and you do the entire site for her to satisfy your incestive lust.


Bragging about how much you make gives you a big E-Peen, but it also may backfire on ya.

QFT.

Watching my friends and family use the internet is the mental equivilant of bashing myself in the face with a frying pan. But, I suppose I be too irritated with that kind of ignorance- people like that are the reason why I'm making money.
 
That's why a lot of us never brag about how much we make to anyone we personally know. We only do it in forums/chatrooms/webcam where the worst we can get are flames, death threats, or cybersex requests.

Would you be able to turn down your 6ft, 160lbs wrestler roomate if he asks you nicely, if you can build him a website that makes him $15 a week?

Would you be able to turn down your dad's sister's husband's hot-looking niece's grandpa's grand-daughter the hot-looking niece? Hell no right, cauze you'd wanna bork her!

You'll be tied up in helping your friends/sex object instead of focusing your energy on making more money/start new ventures/your Xbox/not working/have more sex.

And all of us wanna have more sex, or in the case of this forum for you guys, play Xbox am I right?

Exactly, EVERYONE who hears about online profits thinks they can do the same. It's pretty funny actually... until they eventually try it themselves (with YOUR help of course) and then when their first campaign doesn't make them thousand$$, they ask you non stop questions about why YOU'RE making money and they're NOT. Like it's our fault that we didn't just transfer all our accounts over to them. :eek:

Clearly the answer is, it's because we do this shit 24/7 for years, sacrafice going out, sleep and seeing friends; while they just heard about making money online and think it's the next big get rich quick scheme.
 
You're lucky. I've tried to convince my brother to get into IM with all my help with no luck. He just won't get bothered to mooove ass.
