Rule #1: dedication…I’m doing this post on a layover in the Toronto Airport!

Building a successful blog/internet brand ain’t easy. Nine months into this game, ‘m still workin’ 16-18 hour days…and lovin’ every second of it. Check out THIS awesome near-hourlong podcast interview I did with Mixergy.com, a site that interviews “web visionaries” as we discussed what’s worked (PennyStocking, TIMalerts), what hasn’t (TIMbucks, TIMaffiliates) and what you need to do to create your own successful personal brand, if you’re into that kind of thing. Mixergy’s founder Andrew Warner even did THIS snazzy video intro.

You like that? Yeah you did. Here’s the 2nd interview:

…which is more focused on how to make $ off that brand…with master blogger Johncow.com. Check out that solid podcast interview HERE. He even was nice enough to type up a 22-page transcript of everything we said which you can read right HERE!

  • Alex

    What happened to TIMBucks and TIMAffiliates?
  • We'll be giving away prizes shortly to the top 10 timbucks holders before we launch the new site in Sept... Affiliate program is still active... no plans to take it down.
  • Bob (VC)
    So what you're saying
  • Bob (VC)
    Is I should gather all the TIMbucks now
  • Bob (VC)
    'cause pretty soon they're going to be useless? :)
  • Bob (VC)
    Tim, I will finally be funding my TOS account probably Friday of this week- when I signed up several months ago I didn't list you as the referrer (I didn't know it mattered at the time)- if you think I (or you) can get them to change it, you're more than welcome to take the referral bonus.
  • LOL - yes... gather them up.. but I'm sure you could have said that in 1 comment rather than in 3!
  • Bob (VC)
    I don't know
  • Bob (VC)
    what you're talking about!?!?
  • Bob (VC)
    And Tim, TOS says you'll need to e-mail them my account number after I fund to let you claim the bonus. I'll let you know after I fund if you're interested?
  • Alex
    FOUR closed at 3.00 ... up 100% from my buy call yesterday:

  • Bob (VC) I'm going to write a scrip tonight to post a fun fact every 2 minutes to be top timbucker
  • getshorty
    ALex, what was your basis for saying (on the post you refer) that shorts didn't covered on the first bounce?

    Was it gut feeling or there is some service that shows updated short interest?

    Either way, congrats on doubling your money
  • getshorty
    I am sooooo tempted to short four tomorrow !!!

    should be plenty of borrowable shorts after these squeeze (assuming it was a squeeze)
  • Bob (VC)

Who Is Timothy Sykes And Why Should I Care?

See Tim's full bio HERE. Tim turned a few thousand dollars into a few million by taking small gains time after time on hundreds of volatile penny stocks, discovering that his trading strategy, while consistently successful, works best for those with smaller accounts.

Determined to teach others this PennyStocking trading strategy (learn more HERE), he went back to his original $12,415 roots (already $58,000+ even though the stock market has crashed) to show everyone how to turn thousands into millions, even while having a life (somewhat) and making plenty of mistakes. Currently he is the #1 ranked trader out of 25,000+ on Covestor)

How Can I Consistently Make Money In The Stock Market?

Hard work, Determination and Know How.

Hard work to learn how the greatly misunderstood niche of penny stocks provides opportunities every now and then on which you should pounce.

Determination to seek those probable profits out and know how in order to actually profit from them.

Long story short, wait for stocks that are extremely volatile - for whatever reason - and then aim to take small profits (between 10 and 50% within a few hours, days or weeks) here and there, either from betting on higher or lower prices (yes, you can make $ betting on lower prices, it's called Shortstocking (learn more HERE).

Why Penny Stocks?

As Tim explains in several ALL-NEW instructional DVDs (see them HERE) and in over 2000+ blog posts, penny stocks are the most hyped and corrupt niche in the entire investment world. These two qualities make them the easiest to profit from (legally) because the vast majority of people who play penny stocks are suckers and all-around ignorant people. If you have any intelligence whatsoever, you have a clear advantage and it's like playing basketball against mental midgets.

Where Do You Find Stocks To Trade?

This is the #1 FAQ (see more HERE) and it is answered in THIS instructional DVD.

Of course, that's just a brief introduction - to receive a full education, there is Tim's book An American Hedge Fund which is the story of his remarkable rise and lessons learned.

To truly increase your odds at profit, Tim has designed an entire set of detailed instructional DVDs, covering all the variables that amount to over 24 hours of instruction (see them all HERE)!
