Money Comes to Me Abundantly and Freely (Because I’m Paying Attention)

One of the most consistent habits I’ve kept over the years is a simple mantra:
Money comes to me abundantly and freely. I see it everywhere.
I say it often. Quietly. Repeatedly. Sometimes daily. And no, this isn’t about believing the universe is magically dropping checks from the sky.

It’s about training awareness.

I don’t personally believe money manifests just because you say the words. What I do believe is that language shapes attention. When you repeat something like this, especially in a calm, meditative way, your brain starts scanning for proof. Opportunities that would normally pass unnoticed suddenly stand out. Ideas connect faster. You start asking better questions. You stop assuming “that’s not for me” and start wondering “how could this work?”

The key part of this mantra isn’t just the affirmation. It’s the because.

Money comes to me abundantly and freely because I work hard.
Because I think out of the box.
Because I hustle.
Because I’m observant.
Because I try things.
Because I deserve it.
Because I want it.

That “because” matters. It turns the mantra from wishful thinking into alignment. You’re not asking for money, you’re reminding yourself why you’re capable of finding it. You’re reinforcing behaviors that actually lead to monetization. Effort. Curiosity. Willingness to experiment. Patience when something doesn’t work the first time.

When you approach monetization from this mindset, something shifts. You stop looking for a single big idea and start noticing small ones everywhere. A product someone undervalued. A digital asset that could be improved. A tool that saves time. A gap in a marketplace. A workflow that could be automated. Money opportunities are rarely hidden. They’re usually ignored.

This is why I think one of the very first steps to building side income or wealth is internal, not tactical. Before funnels, before ads, before AI tools, you have to genuinely believe that opportunities exist around you right now. Not later. Not when you’re “ready.” Right now. That belief changes how you move through the world. It changes what you click on, what you save, what you test, and what you follow up on.

Once that awareness is there, the tactics become easier. Surveys turn into seed money. Small flips become capital. Digital products become experiments instead of pressure-filled launches. AI becomes a helper, not a crutch. Each small win reinforces the mantra again, creating a feedback loop between mindset and action.

Money doesn’t come from saying the words alone. It comes from what the words train you to notice and do. If you can hold the belief that money comes to you abundantly and freely because you are active, observant, and willing to act, you start playing a very different game. And that game has opportunities everywhere.

Money Code Is Back: Building Wealth Through Systems, Side Hustles, and Smart Leverage

If you’re reading this and wondering why this site suddenly woke up after years of silence, you’re not wrong. The last time I published anything here was back in 2017. A lot has changed since then. The internet has changed. Opportunities have changed. And the idea of what it means to “code” your way to more income has changed too. So consider this a reboot, not a nostalgia post.

Originally, Money Code was about using websites, affiliate marketing, and a bit of technical know-how to unlock opportunities online. That core idea still holds. What’s different now is the scope. Today, coding is not just writing PHP or tweaking CSS. Coding is building systems. It’s automation. It’s leveraging AI as a force multiplier. It’s designing workflows that turn time, attention, and small bets into repeatable income streams.

Going forward, this site will focus heavily on side hustles and wealth building without the traditional “get a second job” mindset. The goal is not burnout. The goal is leverage. That might look like creating digital products, testing affiliate funnels, building simple tools, flipping underpriced assets, or setting up automations that quietly run in the background. Some experiments will work. Some will not. That’s part of the process.

Digital marketing will be a recurring theme here, but in a practical sense. Not guru talk. Real systems. Traffic, conversion, offers, and distribution. Whether that’s selling PDFs, running micro-sites, experimenting with marketplaces, or using AI to create and validate ideas faster than ever before, the focus will be on execution and learning. The tools are cheaper. The barriers are lower. The advantage goes to people who build and iterate.

We’ll also talk about smaller, accessible ways to generate capital. Surveys, marketplaces, flipping physical products, arbitrage, and testing platforms most people overlook. These aren’t glamorous, but they work. Small wins compound. Capital gives you optionality. Optionality lets you play bigger games later. That progression matters more than chasing the perfect idea.

Over time, this will expand into asset building beyond just online income. Stocks, long-term investing, short-term trades, and using profits from side hustles to fund wealth-building vehicles. Not as financial advice, but as a real-world exploration of how systems connect. Cash flow feeds assets. Assets create stability. Stability creates freedom to experiment further.

Money Code is not about hacks or shortcuts. It’s about understanding the rules, building systems that play within them, and letting time do the heavy lifting. If you’re interested in side hustles, AI automation, digital products, and turning effort into compounding results, you’re in the right place. This is the next chapter.

How to Use Social Media to 10x Your Website Traffic – SEOMoz

Okay, I’ve been itching to talk about this topic. On December 16th, this was posted on SEOMoz’s blog.. and is absolutely fantastic. My posts prior to this have been leading up to this post and we’ll definitely expand on this topic moving forward.

Basically, this strategy is quite simple. For the most part it focused on Twitter, and also reinforces the concept of community. But before I talk further, let’s get to the video. I’ll catch you on the other side…

[iframe_loader width=’100%’ height=’480’Â frameborder=’0’Â longdesc=” marginheight=’0’Â marginwidth=’0′ name=” click_words=” click_url=”Â scrolling=’auto’Â Â src=’https://fast.wistia.com/embed/iframe/vynel67pkk’ class=” ]

Okay, so the first part was about using tools generate reach and create engagement. Again, this is about community. We just don’t want millions of drones/bots as our community. We want real people. Using tools as they mentioned could be great, but again, I prefer Hootsuite, and you can really drill down the clutter. I like to do hashtag searches and create those as streams. So I’m constantly watching those tweets go by and I have opportunities to interact. I also like to make the list as she suggest. I do NOT DM though. I think it’s very low ROI in regards to engagement.

Now, her second strategy really caught my attention. Generate clicks using the 14 day experiment. I thought it was interesting to get multiple tweet headlines for your most popular posts and tweet throughout the day. Creating a spreadsheet and defining those headlines. Her resources were a spreadsheet and to use some type of tool to schedule those tweets. Again, Hootsuite can do this, so I didn’t have to go far.

Finally, the recycling of posts. Brilliant. I would constantly focus on writing great content, and present that to the community. The best content got lots of traffic, while the not so great didn’t do as well. I would work on my post frequency to continue gathering traffic and pulling in some organic search traffic. I never really occurred to me to re-post content on my social networks – like I constantly see others do.

So.. I’m a programmer, so the thought of using a spreadsheet is brutal for me. I’m a database guy. So, what I did, and I’ll be talking about this, is experiment with some of the concepts, but I like automation. But I wanted to start with some results of my effort.

With your Twitter account, you can go to https://analytics.twitter.com to see some analytics on your effects with Twitter. I need to start to here to see the effectiveness. I selected one primary Twitter account that had a healthy blog and good Twitter community.

I wrote a PHP script that would determine the best/popular posts on the site and populate a different table (the spreadsheet example) with 10 headlines (I didn’t want to do 14). I would manually create the headlines. I then wrote a PHP CLI server side script that wold talk to Twitter’s API and randomly 10 posts throughout the day, randomly picking a headline and also to be sure not to post the same post url in the same day.

I was amazed with the engagement. Of course, I was still interacting in the day with the community, retweeting and contributing in conversations, but the automated piece continued to do it’s thing. I also wrote a script that would add new popular posts based on view threshold and alert me so I can update headlines when they are inserted. I’ll probably set handling to only show recent posts? Not sure yet.

But, here is a Twitter Analytics graph from the morning of Jan 11 showing the last 91 days. As you can see, when I started the automation of best posts, my graphs spiked, and maintained.

Please note, the ‘average’ is for the 91 days. Right now, I’m running around 100 clicks / day, which is much better than what it was .. obviously. I’m also playing around with Facebook right now. I have not implemented automation, but I think I will. Facebook is a different beast. I prefer to post in the morning, but I’ve noticed if I pick only one ‘hot’ post and post it in the evening, I basically double… almost tripling my Facebook traffic to the site.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be breaking down some of the functionality I did into more detail.

Marketing and Traffic – Community Wins

I wanted to quickly post this today. In marketing there are a lot of easy routes, and plenty of hard routes to generate traffic to your site(s). In the early days there was simply Search Engine traffic and paid search arbitrage. So you begin to rely on basic SEO strategies (in those days it was link building) and using PPC from various search engines to drive traffic to your site assets and hopefully convert affiliate earnings or adsense clicks.

People, like myself, would spend hours and days, improving rank, building links, building link wheels and support sites to basically work the available system provided to earn maximum gains from it. I always disliked PPC, because in those days, it was the canary in the coal mine. PPC would “qualify” your ads and you could be punished or removed from programs if someone didn’t feel like your site met their standards.

Then the search algorithm changes occurred. This wiped out countless thin sites (like mine) from search index. Some sites were wiped, some sites recovered. During this phase a few years ago, I came to the conclusion that I was relying too much on things I couldn’t control.. and I hated that feeling.

Community was the key. If I was able to build a network of loyal readers and network of connections, connecting those readers to my various assets, I would add additional traffic streams. What was a low level priority, turned into a high level priority. I began focusing on the social networks. Building likes and building follows and driving traffic from those sources as a priority and then use search as a secondary mechanism.

Building a community, you get quality readers (or customers) so your rate of success increase at a lower rate of traffic. Basically, the 80/20 rule. You know you .. you get 80% percent of sales from 20% of your existing customers, etc. That can be applied in a bunch of ways. Instead of focusing energy on getting random traffic, focus energy on keeping your existing readers and focus on quality readers that will stay.

Besides the classic Social Networks – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube, I also began to focus on mailing lists. To me, mailing list are HUGE and something that went out of favor a 10 years ago, but over the last 4 years or so, have been absolutely vital for maintaining connection with your readers and driving consistent traffic. I personally use MailChimp for all of my mailing lists. It’s free up to 2000 subscribers, and goes up from there. I pay a lot for it now, but is incredibly important to me now. I also use a secondary service called MailMunch to help capture more sign up on the site. This is very passive, and I’m always impressed with the number signups I get with very little effort.

Again, focus energy on community. Having a large community will increase the rate of success. They will share and promote your content (if you maintain quality content) and are worth their weight in gold in the long run. Community…

Setting up Twitter API keys

I’ve been having some great success with Twitter lately. As I mentioned in my previous posts, I’ve been focusing in on my ‘thick’ sites and moving away from my ‘thin’ sites. While developing that ‘thin’ empire, I was also creating social support for those sites, primarily via Twitter.

Over those years, I have many accounts that have gained a great amount of followers. Some of those followers are what I call ‘low value’ followers, because engagement was low – again, the lameness of thin sites, but some the accounts have great followers associated with them.

I manage all of my Twitter accounts with a great tool – Hootsuite. Depending on your accounts, you may need to opt for the paid version. The streams functionality is vital for me to manage multiple accounts, and view streams based on hashtags for great interaction. Hootsuite also has the ability to schedule posts, etc. It’s a critical tool for me. I literally use it every day.

Even with the power of Hootsuite, it still involves me actually interacting. I wanted to do some automated handling, which I’ll get into over the next few days. But before we get into that, I wanted to make this post about generating Twitter API keys. I often get asked about this, and people do get lost in this. So I wanted to make this reference post first.

Twitter API allows you to connect remotely to do certain tasks with Twitter. You can fetch (read) information or you can post (write) information as a Twitter account. The beauty of this is that you can programmatically post tweets.

The first thing you need to do is log into your Twitter account in your browser, then go to https://apps.twitter.com We are going to create a new app, that will give us the ability to do some things, but during this creation, we will have keys. Keys are basically a password to remotely authenticate our program to communicate with Twitter.

Once you’re at apps.twitter.com you should see a button called “Create New App”. Clicking that you will be shown the following screen:

Fill out the information. Leave ‘Callback URL’ blank, agree to the Developer Agreement and click “Create your Twitter application”.

You will next land on the detail screen. Click the “Keys and Access Tokens” tab. You should see something like this:

Now, things that are important. You want to make sure your Access Level is “Read and write”. I believe that is by default, but make sure you check it. If you can’t “write” you can’t “post”. In a secure area in your development you’ll want to copy the Consumer Key (API Key), Consumer Secret (API Secret), Access Token and Access Token Secret. You’ll need all 4 of these to authenticate via oAuth to your program.

I’ll stop here, there will be more to come with what I’m doing and some strategies on how to leverage and drive traffic from Twitter to your web resource. In the meantime, I would start interacting on Twitter and start generating followers.
