Today I want to expose you to eight simple I’ve
been following to rake in cash from my online business. It is so simple that
once you follow the simple steps you are surely working yours parts to your
online success.Read on
Step 1 Pick A Niche
& Product
It
would be easy for me to tell you to spend only 15-20 minutes doing research,
but in reality it takes most people a lot
longer. I often spend hours on research
myself (although it’s something I happen to
enjoy). Just remember there’s no
such thing as the ‘perfect’ keyword or
niche. Sometimes it’s best just to bite
the bullet and pick one – as long as it
meets the criteria there’s a chance you’ll
make money with it.
When
looking at products remember to look for a desperate niche where
people tend to buy a lot of stuff online to
fix their problem.
If
possible, try to find a product with an independent affiliate program (one
that’s not listed in an affiliate network).
This will make it a lot easier to make
money with.
Step 2 Choose Your
Main Keyword
Head
on over to the Google Keyword Tool and start researching the product
you chose in step 1. If it doesn’t meet the
criteria, then it’s back to the drawing
board. Just find another product and repeat
the steps again!
The
product should get at least 5000 ‘exact match’ searches per month and is
searched for using a variety of different
phrases.
Pick
one main keyword to base your site around (e.g. product name review)
Evaluate the top 10 Google results on Google
(your competition) using the
following criteria:
Page
rank (look for sites with 0-2 page rank)
On
site optimization (is the main keyword in the h1 tags,
description etc.?)
No.
of backlinks (look for sites with few backlinks)
Site
authority (large authority sites vs web 2.0, video sites etc)
Age
(the older the site, the harder it will be to outrank)
It’s
important to spend enough time on this step as you want to be sure you
can rank relatively easily for your main
keyword.
If
your keywords don’t meet the criteria, then go back and look for another
product and different keywords. This step is
absolutely essential to your
success!
Step 3 Buy domain name and install Wordpress
Buy
your domain at Namecheap.com (or whichever registrar your prefer)
If your main keyword isn’t available just
add on a word e.g.
Blog Review Scam Info 101
Set up hosting for your domain and install
Wordpress.
Configure the blog:
Install the theme
Install and configure the plugins
Change the permalinks
Delete the ‘Hello World’ post
Add
the name and tagline
Delete the default links
Choose which widgets you want to use in the
sidebar
Add
pinglist
Step 4 Find related
keywords
You’ve chosen a product and you’ve found a
keyword that isn’t overly
competitive. Now it’s time to find some
other keywords that you can write
articles on.
Type
your product name into the Google Adwords Keyword Tool and make a list
of what comes up.
Here
are a few examples:
Does product name work?
Product name ingredients
Where can I buy product name?
Product name discount
Product name trial
And
so on.
Another good place to find supporting keywords
is by typing your keyword into
Google itself. When you do that, take a look
at the bottom of the page
(underneath the 10 search results), and
you’ll see a list of ‘searches related to
’
You
can also use other keyword related to the topic, but without the actual
product name.
For
example:
How can I get rid of ..? ..
home remedy
Etc
Step 5 Add the essential pages
Add
the following pages:
About
Us
Contact
Privacy Policy
Set
up 2 menus in the ‘Custom Menus’ Section – one for your product related articles,
the other for your niche articles.
Step 6 Content creation
You will need to create the following
content to start with:
2
information articles based around your product’s keywords
Your
main ‘presell article’ for your landing page – this should be at least
800 words in length – preferably over 1000
words. Each should be added to your blog in the form of a ‘page’ (not posts) In
the ‘Reading’ section of your blog, make your presell page a ‘static page’.
If
you don’t want to write the content yourself, you can outsource. I
Add
approximately 2 new pages of content per week for the first 2 weeks, after
that you can add just 1 page of content
every 7 – 10 days.
Step 7 Get Your Site Indexed
tedious process the first time you do it, as
you have to sign up to each site
individually.
If you want to save time, and you’re willing
to spend a few dollars, you can get your site bookmarked for just $5 at Fiverr .
If
you added the pinglist (back in step 3) this will also have been pinged when
you added the content.
These
2 steps alone will be more than enough to get your site indexed.
Step 8 Start Getting
Backlinks
Forum
posting Press releases
Rss
Submission Social Bookmarking
Article Marketing Blog Commenting
The better your keywords chosen earlier, the
less backlinking work you’ll have to do to get your site ranking well. Remember
most of these services can be outsourced – many can be outsourced for as little
as $5 at Fiverr.com.
Now Rinse And Repeat!
