This opportunity currently has    20   15   10   7    5  openings. (If this is your second trip to this page, be sure to take a look at the updates at the bottom!)

What I am talking about here can be as little as a few hundred dollars a month to help with bill$, or as encompassing as an entirely new career... and life.  The choice is yours.  But you don't have to make it now.  Give it some time, see how things work out and decide when you are confident.  There is no pressure, other than that you impose upon yourself.  I really think the idea will grow on you and when you get to the point that you can leave the 9-5 rat race, there won't be a question in your mind.  Seriously!  This is not pie in the sky at all.  Please read this entire page before deciding.  You owe it to yourself and your family. 

Did you see the banner above?  Other than being careful not to get sand in my laptop, I was able to work right there!  (OK, not there, but places very much like it.  Several times at resorts we've been at, by a pool with a table and umbrella just off the beach... and of course a cold beverage near by.)  When I have a project to research and need some quiet time in the summer, it isn't uncommon to pack the boat and go to work.  It's relaxing, no phone to answer, no interruptions, just ducks, sand, boats and waves to watch and an occasional bikini.

I can even enjoy some travel that is at business expense.  My daughter went to college in SC.  I had to bring her home for the end of the school year and ran into the Myrtle Beach Harley Bikers Week.  It gave me an idea... AmericanBikerEvents.Com was born!  Now I go there every year to enjoy the fun and make new projects for my internet business.  I'd like to say it's really work, but by definition, can work be that much fun?  YES - IT CAN !  For instance, the last two years, I have attended an internet conference in Orlando and done the same sort of thing.  Last year we included a trip to Universal Studios.  You can TOO !!  While in Florida, I made screen savers out of video of the waves rolling in at the sea shore.  Daytona Beach, Ft. Desoto, Bradenton Beach, St Pete Beach...  That was tough duty too.  But it was legitimate business and my work.

Ok, that is the really fun side and what I am working to continue doing.  I hope you will give it a try and join me in Orlando - when you are ready.  Let's start talking about HOW you can join me, OK? 
...Remember writing those reports in school...?  Usually the subjects were boring and not of much interest, at least to me.  It was drudgery to put together 1000 words on Shakespeare's best works.  Especially when I didn't think they were all that good to begin with.  Hmmm.... Maybe that is where political spin all began. With BS (Bill Shakespeare) in high school English class. 

Way back then I imagined writing about something I was interested in - or at least knew something about.... It sure would have been tons easier!  I would have rather written 1500 words on snowmobiles.  Or fishing!   I'm sure there are topics that you enjoy and would have been happier to read and write about too, weren't there?  And today we have all developed more interests and hobbies.  I go to gun shows today and can't believe the number of people that show up and crowd the event halls.  Same for gardening, doll collectors, pets and animals, home remodeling, boating, business groups, antiques,  lots of things!!  What do you collect?  What is your hobby?  Any unusual activities?  There may not be many people that appreciate your particular hobby right there in your neighborhood, but when we involve the internet, there are literally thousands of people that like all sorts of different topics.  Some pretty outrageous.  Well, what if you could now make money, writing about THOSE very topics? 

Kind of like a little payback to Mrs. McDonald, ye olde English teacher.   She did what she had too, and thanks for that, but she never mentioned that writing could be fun!  And she surely didn't mention you could make money doing it!  Of course that was pre-Al Gore and the internet. 

Here's your opportunity (aka my problem) in a nutshell.  With the ability to generate web traffic we have developed, we need writers to help us produce unique, original website content for our visitors.  Because you enjoy writing, consider simply writing short reports on topics of interest to YOU.  

(Again - There is absolutely NO COST or OBLIGATION TO Consider this.)

CNY Online Cafe has had up to 1,136 sites on the internet.  Our testing is done.  And we have several pages well ranked already and look to enter 2007 with a surge in growth to take advantage of the opportunities that abound.  As things change on the web, CNY Online Cafe wants to be in the lead.  Frankly, we have come to the point that we NEED YOUR HELP !!!  As you can imagine, with that many sites we simply don't have time to do it all. 

You have already passed a couple preliminary tests.  I like that in you already.   I wanted someone who would take action and could use the computer, at least a little. Congratulations on passing the first tests!   You have been able to get on the web and find this page.  I now know that you can take action, can follow instructions, and can navigate the computer, at least a little.  Lots of people are to frightened of computers to do even that.   And I saved time finding that out, but didn't have to explain this every time the phone rang. Plain and simple.  I'm hoping this step got rid of the tire kickers and strictly nosy people.  They wouldn't know a good deal if it bit them on the nose.

Stay with me, if you are looking for excellent earnings potential and even something you could turn into a career, you will want to read every word of this! 
YES, it most certainly does depend upon the effort you put into it.  But if all you want is a few extra bucks a month, this could still be of great interest to you.  Let's move on. 

What I would ask of you, is to write and publish short articles about topics that interest you to begin with - something you have knowledge about already, (OR that you at least, would like to research and write about.)  Everyone has interests, and if yours is something that others search for on the internet as well, then we have what could be a winning combination. 
If you remember in school, when you had to write that paper?  You did the research and wrote the paper.   The big difference is that in school it had to be long and boring.  Lots of filler and insight (yeah, insight - mostly Bill Shakespeare).  Remember? 
Our reports, to give you a general idea, will probably be 300-700 words long.  More if needed, less, if you can be more succinct. Yes, it does have to hold the reader's interest.  And yes, it does have to be accurate.  To give you an idea of the length, this short section (in BLUE color) is 197 words long.  You would have to create each article (report) to be roughly 2 times this length, as a general target.  So it isn't really that tough.

Do you think you could write an article, about a topic that interests you, that was just twice as long as the section above?  If YES, let's take it a little further.  Don't forget, you have the entire internet to perform your research with...  So don't get hung up on getting writers block.

For the first month, again, as a general guideline, you will want to write about 20 articles on your topic.  The next month probably 10 and thereafter, 4 each month to keep a newsletter going.   I will be able to help with some extra content for filler, ideas for topics and with affiliate programs for us to represent. 

I won't ask you to refer business to an affiliate unless you can stand behind it with your beliefs.  That won't let you write honestly and from the heart.  It wouldn't help you write and it won't help website content either.  We would be in this together, remember.

As we move along and make some money, you may want to accept further responsibilities and accept another topic project.  Because you will be busy for the first month of our relationship, and less busy as the months progress with one website and we  build our website(s) and put them on autopilot.  But that is down the road.  Just keep it in mind.  First things first.

OK, I can foresee a few questions that will arise and I will try to tackle them now so that you have a better understanding before we talk and / or meet.  No surprises.   In the interest of brevity, let me pose them as  FAQs...

1) How would I make money?

There are several ways to make money with a website.  First, we could use Adsense, a Google advertising program.   Suffice to say I have used it for a couple years and made some money with it.   These are Google ads, you may have seen them on other sites before:

Second, we would have affiliate programs we would represent that would pay us to sell their goods. 
Third, we  would find a niche in the topic and create our own product to sell, which I would help with as well.
And lastly, we will be looking to ever expand the horizons.  I know this sounds vague, but I don't want to let to much of the cat out of the bag here...  Suffice to say I have a couple other plans as well as further growth and experimentation.

Whatever we made on the site, from all sources, would be split between us each month, 50/50.  I would tell you that if you get in now, it will stay that way for the full life of our relationship, but I can foresee the time, in the not too distant future, that I would change that to 25% you, 75% me.  So if you are interested, don't hesitate - answer the door!  Remember, I could buy fresh newly written articles on the internet for $10 each, but at this point, I would rather work with a person and know who writes them and has a vested interest in the success of the website.

I would expect that we would make our first money in about the 3rd month.  Month 2 might have a straggler of a sale or two, but month 3 will be the real test.  Your investment so far, would have been researching and writing  about 34 articles by the END of month 3. (20 in month 1, 10 in month 2, and 4 in month 3 =34)  ...If there are only 25 we will work with 25. 34 would again, be an ideal. If you take your time and have only 14 articles done and published, it will take longer.  None of these numbers is set in concrete, I'm simply trying to give you a range to shoot for.  It is tough to accurately say.  It depends on the effort you have put in AND a little luck.  :-)  Not to say that if you keep with it and have 20 articles done in month 4, it won't work, but just take more time.  I would like to hit the high traffic times of January - April ideally.

I have told you that in the past, I have had several websites.  Our new website may do better or worse, I have no way of knowing without trying.  I CAN say the most I have made from a single website in the past for one month is $1,433.30 with Google Adsense ALONE.  I have several that have made over $500. in a month.  My goal would be to have several that EACH make us  $400 - $1,000 per month and I will work with you to help us reach that goal.  It is not to high a goal.  It IS attainable.  And it is in my best interest to aid you as much as possible, unless I want to start my writing career in earnest, which I don't.

That also means that 5 sites should produce $2,000 minimum - $5,000+ per Month.  Scale your desires accordingly.  Gets interesting, doesn't it?  A year from now your work week could consist of writing 5 newsletters weekly and making $2,500. a month. Not a bad return for 4 half days work.  Are you starting to see just how a new career and even a new life is possible?  Are you starting to think you could manage to work on 10 websites?  ;-)

2) Alright, How much is this gonna cost ME?

That's an easy one.  Dollarwise, ZERO, Nadda, Zilch, nothing.  I'm looking for writers, not  investors.

Otherwise, your time and effort to research, write, and publish the articles and  newsletters.   That's it.  You will need your own computer and a place to use it, but the family computer will work just fine. 

3) Is there any guarantee?

NO, I can't guarantee that your topic will make any money.  I will have a good idea from researching the topic a little.  But, it is up to the quality of your work and the traffic that we can generate.  Failure would be highly unlikely, but no, I can not guarantee our project will work.  But take another look at question #2 involving your investment. 
It will be 100% of my money invested.  Understand that I am NOT going to invest my money and my time in a project that I don't think will pay off - our fortunes in this respect, will be linked.  
As I have indicated, I have already done a lot of testing and have an idea what works and what doesn't.
But NO, I will not guarantee any return, I simply can't.  If this bothers you, especially when it is all my money invested, then you are not cut out to get into a business of your own, of ANY kind.  Ask any businessperson what they have at risk.  It is vastly more than writing a few articles, and they have the same guarantee as you do.  I can't think of an opportunity I have ever seen that could be set up to be more fair to you.  If you find one, save me a spot too! 
I admit to possibly having a little to much faith in my fellow (wo)man and often it hasn't worked out...  But when it does, it really is a good feeling to help someone else.  Believe me, I will be screening this to avoid problems, but I recognize they will appear.  We will just have to deal with them together.

4) I have a business already and need a website.
Will this project work for me?

YES, I have no objection to working on that basis, but understand that the profits will be split 50/50 from the website.  There are certainly other things to consider on the expense side, but we can work those out too, individually.  This could be a SUPER opportunity for this sort of arrangement!  You have the expertise in your field and you should use it!  I may be able to show you how we can put it to use and make a lot more money than you ever imagined we could - online!  
Lot's of business owners would like to slow down.  They have worked hard most of their lives and deserve to be able to.  Maybe the work is physically hard, or maybe dealing with the aggravations are getting to you.  Or maybe you are just plain burned out, (that's how I got into thinking about all of this).  This may be your way to enter an early retirement....  again, when you are ready.  But start NOW!  To plan for the future...

I have had to turn businesses away that wanted custom websites built.  Why? Frankly, I can make more by making websites for myself and my partners.  This is the only way I will currently take on that type of work any more.  I am more interested in making $1,000 per month than charging you a one time $2,500 fee.

5) OK, I write the articles, what does CNY provide? 

Other than the opportunity to learn the website business, I will list many of the items I will be taking care of for us.   In many areas I have service providers to help that I pay monthly.  So part of the answer is the guiding hand to help you get on the web to begin with.  Service areas I will provide include:

• And MOST importantly, I have available, a HIGHLY optimized website platform for us to use.  This is really the key to our site becoming a winner and not just another site on the internet.  It's as close to automatic as we can make it.  What is missing is that it needs unique content.

• In short, I would do most of the background work.  I already perform all of the above functions for my other sites and have these things in place.  Sure, you can get them too.  But they do cost money and you need to know how to use them.  I am offering to avail these services for both our benefit in exchange for the unique content and growth of the websites.

Don't worry if you don't understand all of the above.  I do.  I just don't have the time or inclination to write the articles.

6) So, what do I need you for?

If you can do all of the above, you don't need me.  But you wouldn't have the platform I have (that's key!).  Just as I could write articles.   But I don't want to take the time, that I don't have anyway, required to do the articles.  Short story - The people I am looking for don't want to handle the technical end of it.  Hopefully, you will see it as I do, a win-win situation.

7) You mentioned a career.  How so?

Yes, I did.  If you treat this as a learning experience, you will find out how to do all of these things I mention that I will do.  If you decide next year, or in two or three years that you don't need me, fine, you are welcome to start out on your own.  OR you may find you like our situation.

THINK OF THIS!!!! - - - - Working one night a week to put together the weeks work on the website(s)  Lets say we have 6 websites together.  If YOU only make $400 PER site, you now have $2400. a month for what could amount to one HALF day's work a week. 

Again, I seriously don't think that is too high.  (My target is for each site to make $400 for EACH of us as a MINIMUM.)  Writing 1800 - 3000 words per week and putting out a newsletter.  (To the end of the last sentence was 2,993 words I had written on this webpage in just about 5+ hours, enough for 6 websites!)  Yes, I paused and hemmed and hawed, rewrote things a couple times to be just as I wanted.  Read it over and did it again, because I hadn't conveyed my thoughts well.  If I had been organized maybe it would have been quicker, but that is the part of writing that I simply don't care for. 

Sure, yours might be on several different topics, something for each niche we choose.  But isn't it easier to write several smaller articles than to organize many thoughts in one larger one?  Guess that's up to you.  It is for me!   Sure, they can be longer.  There is nothing magical that says they have to be 500 words.  Some will be 300, some will be 1000 - that's FINE!  500 is ONLY a goal for an average.  If it ends up to be an average of 350, but it is high quality, that is fine too!  It DOES have to be quality.  (They DO need to be 300+ words to syndicate.)

And if you don't want a career, and you like having someone to do the "other" work, maybe we can just stay with this same arrangement.  You can still make pretty good money!  And I'm pretty sure that after 52 years, I am not about to find a great love of writing.  So your end is safe, as long as you keep at it.  Keeping "at it" would usually amount to writing a newsletter for each site, once a week after month 2.  Some newsletters would amount to 100 words and even less, recommending a product to solve a particular problem for readers.    Some products COME with such material ready to go! 

The writing end would be YOUR business.  As far as "your end" goes, you would need to :

• Pick a topic that people search for on the internet, that we agree upon.

• Create the unique content for the site and then the newsletters.  (And update it as needed, but that, if done right, would merely form topics for future newsletters automatically.  ;-) )  

• Have your own computer to work on, with an internet connection.  You could even go to the library for that matter!

• A place to have your computer set up.  At your home, work, or the library.

• An email account - a free Yahoo account is fine.  The site will have email as well, so this certainly isn't a biggie.

• Be responsible and supply unique, original content and coordinate with me.  Your entire weeks work might even be something like an interview with an authority in your topic.  For instance, if your topic is antiques and you record an interview you make with a dealer that specializes in some area of interest, that's super!  (In this case, I would recommend that you take a couple pictures or video it to show examples.  But again, these are the details I can even help with.)

• YOU will also be responsible for your own taxes and any other expenses of your business.  It is YOUR business after all.  But I can't really foresee any, other than taxes and perhaps copy paper or incidental office supplies to get started and work for say 6 months, to see if you like it.  Things you probably have and use already.

• You can do this sort of work for anyone else you desire.  So long as the content used for the sites you are working on was originally written by you, and is unique for CNY's website(s).  (I won't stand for any problems with copyrights.)  I can tell you, there is demand for this on the internet.  But they usually pay you per article ($5-10) and keep all the profits to themselves.  That is the HUGE difference I am offering.  I want someone involved enough to really care about the outcome.  You should end up making a lot more than that per article with good content.  We will both make more that way.

• (added 11-24-06 **Earlier this week, I ran across another business that is offering something very similar.  Except they offer you 30%.  If you are interested, don't wait.  I do reserve the right to change the 50/50 percentages for any future agreements.  Get in now and lock up the 50%!  The next round of people I work with (if any) will probably change in this regard.)

8) What else can you tell me...?

After we get ramped up and going in a couple months, we would approach others who have like topics and joint venture with them to increase our business sales even further.  That's when it really gets fun!  ...and profitable!  I've got lots of plans!  knock, knock, knock... ANSWER THE DOOR !

9) Ok, what's the next step?

So now it is up to you.  One more "test" -  Send me an email.  Be sure to include your name, address, and phone number together with any topic you may want to write about and why you are interested in the topic and this arrangement. 

• Be creative. 

• This is a job application in some ways.  Be sure to show me your writing style and how you would "speak" to our customers with your writing. 

• Keep it under 500 words. 

• In newsletters, the recipients need to feel as if you are talking to THEM.  Try to do that. 

• Don't forget to answer the things I asked of you above... 

Show me whacha' got and let's work together!  I'm ready to start NOW, how about you?
