Making Some Money NOW!

I've been sitting back working on a new project here – I'll be sharing it with you shortly, but right now lets talk about making some money NOW!

If you are on my lists you know that I've been promoting several systems.

Have you had a chance to download your personal copy yet?

Have you read through the material and watched the videos yet?

Have you implemented your first affiliate presell site yet?

WHY NOT?

Below is a screen capture of the ClickBank account that I am using to capture my commissions as I start building this part of my business. Click on the graphic to open a popup with the full-sized image…

This account shows almost $600.00 paid out for just 2 affiliate promotions that I have setup as described in Google Sniper. I set these up a little over a month ago. Actually there is about $1,000 earned, however ClickBank holds the funds to make sure that there are no cancellations. Can you do this? I'll bet you can – if you JUST DO IT!

BTW - the new system by Michael Jones – The Affiliate Code – will also get you started. Actually, TAC has a bit more detail in the videos and system information that gives you more options. Options are good!

Important Note – I've got one site that I setup in the tattoo niche that seems to be overlooked by Google. Now this isn't unusual, and it is important that you realize that not everything that you put out there WILL be evaluated by the search engines. Actually, I can't get Google to crawl this site for the last 4 weeks! Oh well – I'll keep it going and eventually Google will crawl it – or index the current pages.

One more thing – Commission Junction surprise!

I also setup a simple CPA offer through my Commission Junction account. I logged in today to find that I had $80.00 deposited into my bank account from this offer – I do have a small site (page) tied to this, and it is starting to generate some $$. You can't expect everything to happen at once – but these small positive accomplishments will only lead to more and more of the same. Eventually this too will be generating a good six figures!

Now realize that I'm not here to teach you how all of this works! The sytems/programs that I'm promoting are excellent in the way that they explain what you need to know to get started. It might be too much to expect that they explain everything – really! There is no way that one Internet Marketing program can cover everything! I will continue to purchase these programs as each one gives me some good information – something that I maybe didn't have before.

Keep learning and seeking out information to add to your knowledge base.

To your continued success…

Build It And They’ll Come Or Will They

What you most need to know, then, is how to build that small-niche site.

To reiterate, the purpose of this site is to develop a very consumer-specific website that provides information and resources for the person who is looking to buy a product of this type.  That's from the buyer's perspective. 

But you have search engines to please, too, so that content will need to do double-duty and also help you be found and ranked well for your target keywords and target audience.

There are two basic components to these small sites.  Those are

1. Articles and buyer-centric information
2. Products

The pages of your website will be split amongst these two components.  It probably should not be a straight 50/50 split.  The division should be weighted more in favor of information than products.  This will serve two purposes:

1. Information gives the buyer all the supporting information and details they need to decide to buy.
2. Information provides more feed for search engines so that buyers can find you.

However you decide to structure the actual website, it should have a simple division-information and products.

The product pages are simple.  Create a page for each individual product that gives the specifics on the product (often the information provided by the affiliate).  You need to give enough detail without overdoing it.  Set up the product pages so that when the visitor performs the desired action-clicks a 'buy' button, or opts for a free sample or service-they are taken to the affiliate website, where they [hopefully] will order and purchase your product.

The informational pages require a little bit more work, but not too much.  Each of these pages should host one piece of supporting information which helps your visitor decide to buy.  It should be an article, product review, or product comparison.  As you'll learn later, these are the things that will really draw the very specific and targeted ready to buy consumers that you want.  This is the information that they are looking for just prior to purchase, and so it is the information that is most likely to net serious buyers, and not just curious visitors.

Back to our example, if we have five muscle-building supplements, we'll have five pages of products and perhaps ten pages with articles and comparisons.  Use the articles to address the concerns of people in the market for supplements, and include topics important to them.  They might be side-by side comparisons, reviews of specific powders, or topics such as "Five Tips for Building More Muscle."

Now you've given your already needy buyers the two things they need to decide to buy your products-additional information, and the place to make the purchase.

Bottom line – if you have a passion and you have the information that others want (not need), then venture into this are first. Once you have something online and you feel comfortable then consider researching some niche that is hot and do the samething with that. Don't do just one – keep building and adding more and more sites for more and more niches.

To your continued success,
