Following is a review of a recently released product, Project Quick Cash.

As I was reading the ebook, it occurred to me that this would be a great training supplement for 30 Day Challenge students.

30 Day Challenge students will have a jump start on some of the techniques taught in Project Quick Cash. Plus, the additional techniques in Project Quick Cash could help 30 DC students take their marketing to the next level, for almost no cost.

This Project Quick Cash review is my honest assessment of the product.

If you have been reading my Project Quick Cash site you may have read some of the pre-launch information that has been released by Alok Jain.

By reading the pre-launch information, you never really know if the product will live up to its hype. After all, the book is about only 5 online money making strategies.

I have been around a while and was really curious to see if these five strategies were just the same old, same old, or if they were strategies I have never seen before.

I have given the Project Quick Cash a quick read, and will go back over it and read it again. I was actually pleasantly surprised with some of the strategies – that’s why I need to go read it again so I understand them well.

So, the five strategies Alok describes in the 77 page Project Quick Cash ebook are sound strategies – some that I have seen, some that I haven’t.

Without going into too much detail, here are my thoughts on the five Project Quick Cash strategies.

Strategy #1 and Strategy #2 – These strategies utilize a service that I have known about, and have used a few times. I’m even going to reveal the service to you – Google Hot Trends http://www.google.com/trends/hottrends .

As I stated, I have used Google Hot Trends, but never really got anything out of it. Alok reveals what to look for on Hot Trends, how to further analyze the “hot trends”, and how to turn that information into profit.

I have to say this idea is not “Rocket Science”, it’s a pretty simple and logical idea, but I never thought of it. It’s funny how you know of a service, but never really understand how it can benefit you, until someone reveals it’s simplicity to you.

Strategy #3 – Of the five Project Quick Cash strategies, this was the only one that was a bit of a disappointment to me. This strategy has been used online for years, and I would assume anyone who has been marketing on the internet has heard of it.

However, I came to the realization that even though I have known about this technique for years, I have never actually used it effectively :-) Alok provides some insight that I had never considered before, and he reveals what markets you should never use this technique in and what type of markets it works well for.

He also provides an example that gave me an “aha” moment – I have a market that this technique would be perfect for :-)

Strategy #4 – This strategy is Adwords related. It seems like over the last year, there have been a ton of Adwords related books released, and I bought a number of them. So, I really didn’t think I could learn anything from this strategy – wrong!

I know of the Adwords feature that this Project Quick Cash strategy utilizes, but I never used it. Why not? I never really understood how it could help me, and I never took the time to experiment with it. Alok has done the testing and clearly explains, in detail, how to make this feature work for you.

For me, this strategy alone makes the Project Quick Cash product well worth the low cost.

Strategy #5 – This was another one of those strategies that I was familiar with. In fact, I had just started using this strategy just a few months ago. The truth is, you found this Project Quick Cash review because of strategy #5 techniques, and now I will have more competition :-) But, that’s okay – there is plenty of room for everyone.

You may be wondering if these techniques will become less effective with more people knowing about them. Some may become less effective, but remember this. The majority of people who purchase this product will NEVER use any of these techniques. Some will use one or two of the techniques in a few niches.

The great thing is, these techniques can be used in thousands of niches, on thousands of products, so there is plenty of room for everyone, especially you.

If you have an Adwords account your aren’t using, you need to either cancel that account, or monitor it DAILY!

If you are using your Adwords account, I strongly encourage you to keep a close eye on it.

I don’t have a lot of activity going on in my Adwords account, but every morning I check the number of my Adwords clicks for the previous day, and it’s a good thing I do.

Somehow, someone hacked into my adwords account, setup a new campaign, set the max bid at $5 and the daily max at $5000! They ending up racking up over $350 one day and $75 the next day, before I caught it.

After doing some research on Google account hacking, I see my case is not an isolated one. I have read stories of people setting up their Adwords account and payment info, then never really using their account. Suddenly, they see a charge of thousands of dollars on their credit card statement from Google.

They login to their Adwords account to find campaigns running that they never setup. If you have an Adwords account you don’t check, AND you’re not good about looking at your credit card charges, you could be in even bigger trouble.

Google will just keep merrily charging your card until it runs out of room. Then they will contact you to change your billing info. Imagine what a shock that would be to find your card got maxed out by someone hacking into your account and buying thousands of $5 clicks on your credit card.

I have been in contact with Google to report this fraud and to give them all the info I have.

I hope they don’t charge me for those clicks – it appears they have been very fair to others in the same situation in the past.

Google tells me my password may have been stolen due to malware on my computer. I run an anti-virus program constantly. I run a spyware detection program weekly, and I have run a number of malware detection programs the last few days, and nothing has been detected. I have a wireless network, but this computer is hardwired to the router, so that shouldn’t be an issue.

I have been online for over 10 years and am very careful about protecting my PC. I never load programs like ebay, paypal or Adwords from email because of phishing issues. I never download, open, load, or run files unless I know where they came from and they are from a trusted source. I am very careful which makes this all the more frustrating.

To protect myself in the future, I have changed my adwords password and plan on changing it at least monthly. I don’t know what else I can do to keep this from happening again.

So what about the site the clicks were directed to?

Well, I found some strange things about the website my hacker pointed their clicks to. The domain the Adwords ad is directed to is a .net domain (that was registered the same day as my account was hacked). The .net domain redirects to a .com of the same name. The weird thing is, this is a blog and I don’t see any monetization on the blog. The only links on the blog go to major finance sites and I see no affiliate links, or suspicious looking links.

Why would someone steal $425 worth of clicks and not try to make money on it? Could it be someone is trying to screw me personally for some reason, instead of trying to steal clicks to make money?

I can’t imagine who would do that – I don’t know of anyone who is upset with me (except my wife from time to time).

Anyway, let this be a lesson to you – if you have an Adwords account go check it right now. Run a spyware/malware detection program and clean up your computer and then change your Google Adwords password.

Finally, make it a habit to check your adwords account daily.

Internet Marketing Bonuses – What NOT to do!

I was reading the TurboCommunity internet marketing forum recently, and a thread was started about being careful of product bonuses you get within the internet marketing community.

The initial discussion was about a “big time guru” offering big lists of email addresses as a bonus. The discussion went on as people detailed the trouble they got into by using these email lists.

The bottom line is – don’t fall for these “thousands of double optin emails addresses just waiting for your offer” offers, even when being given away as a bonus.

This bonus discussion brought to mind something I went through earlier this year with another internet marketing guru. I’m itching to tell you who it is to possibly protect you, but I don’t like bad mouthing people on a public blog like this. Perhaps if enough people want to know I’ll drop some hints later :-)

Anyway, here is another piece of advise when it comes to product bonuses.

Here is something else you should never do. Never buy a product just because you want the bonus. I think I may have heard this one from John Delavera originally. (John of JV Manager – the best affiliate, payment etc manager ).

I was swayed to buy an IM product because the early purchaser (in the first 50) bonus was – 10 of the 50 would have the opportunity to do a JV with this big time marketer. Those of the first 50 who weren’t chosen for the JV would be involved as partners in his next project.

So I bought immediately and was notified that I was one of the first 50. I wasn’t impressed with the product and didn’t feel right asking for a refund because I was hoping I’d get the bonus. After 6 weeks I contacted support to ask when they were going to chose the JV partners.

The support person responded that it was taking longer than planned because this guru was moving into his new beach front house, and didn’t have the time to choose the JVs. Of course he had time to email me twice a week with other product offers.

I emailed support a few more times over the next 4-5 months and always received the same response that the JVs would be chosen soon. I explained that I bought early in order to get the bonuses that I never received. In fact, I never received bonuses that others were supposed to receive who purchased after me – First 50 get bonus A, B and C, next 100 get bonuses B and C everyone else gets bonus C. I never got A, B or C.

At this point it was too late for a refund from Clickbank, and it was obvious I was not going to get any bonus. I have to wonder if the bonus offer was just a sales technique.

I did feel sorry for the support person who had to keep making excuses for this big time marketer, and I never once heard from the guru.

Of course I will NEVER purchase from him again, and have let him know that (or his support person anyway) – guess it doesn’t matter to him since I’m just one person.

So, I never purchase products just to get the bonus, well I may make exceptions when it comes to marketers I REALLY trust.
