Outsourcing For Bigger Affiliate Marketing Paychecks

What one or two aspects of Affiliate Marketing that you hate to do? Maybe it’s writing content. Perhaps it’s building backlinks or building web sites or writing code. It really doesn’t matter what it is, you can find someone to do it for you and probably do it cheaper than what you think. It’s called outsourcing and when done properly, will leave you with plenty of time to concentrate on areas of your affiliate marketing that you enjoy and make the most money at.

Outsourcing your work isn’t for everyone. But at some point in your affiliate marketing efforts, you’ll have to decide whether or not to bring new people in. People who are just beginning in affiliate marketing generally have time to do all the things necessary to become successful.

Once you’ve started building up your portfolio, things can get pretty tight. Especially time. If you stay in this business long enough, there will come a point when you discover that you don’t have enough time to get everything you need done accomplished. When this happens, it’s time to look into outsourcing some of the chores.

For me, it was content writing. I had so many websites that I didn’t have time to write content for every one of them.

Don’t get me wrong, I love to write. But I can only do so much. Plus, there are different types of content. For my Adsense sites, I don’t need the best content. In fact, I’d say poor content will actually convert better on an Adsense site than good content. I can get 500 to 750 word articles written for these sites for as little as $3 to $5 per article. I don’t know about you, but my time is worth a lot more than that plus these articles pay for their self rather quickly.

There are literally people willing to do anything that you can think of. And many of them will do it rather cheaply. It comes down to the value of your time plus how much more money you could make by spending the time you do have on actions that create the most money for you.

By having a lot of articles written for my sites, the time this frees up is spent on building backlinks to my sites and creating more sites, which makes me a lot more money than writing content!

Where to find outsourcing resources

There Internet is a wonderful place to find people willing to work for you. All you need to do is look.

Here are some of my favorite places to find people to outsource my work to.

DigitalPoint forums. They have a section called the market. You can find anything you want here. Content writers, programmers, content, Ebook creation, Link building services to people who will build backinks for you and submit your articles to directories and so on. Do not forget to check out iTrader reputation of the person before letting him / her to work for you. Most of the other forums for webmasters also have a similar market. Other sites that may want to consider are: SitePoint, Webmaster World, V7N, Warrior forum, etc.

Elance, Rent-A-Coder, Rent A Freelancer, Get A Freelancer. These are great places to find people to outsource every aspect of your affiliate marketing. The building website templates for PHP programmers and people who will build landing pages, you will find them here.

Need-An-Article. When I need great content, I use these people. I can get a 1000 plus word articles written by native English speaking writer for less $ 12.50 and these criteria are good, or in many cases – better than ones I paid $ 30 or more for. Their research is excellent, and most of my article request turned in a few days.

Craigslist – Ha! Gotcha did not I? Yes, I’ve found some good freelancers on Craigslist. Several content authors and developers. Look to the bottom of the page under “Services”. Also do not forget to check out the “Gigs” section. If you want someone local, just put a post and there should be many people reply soon.There are tons of other places to find people to outsource your work to. For many of you, you get hung up on the cost to hire these people. I think this generally comes from lack of confidence on most peoples part. If your sites are making money, then your outsourced work will pay for itself many times over. This will free you up to create more sites or work on an area that you enjoy and let the freelancers work on the chores you hate to do or are not particularly good at.

One last bit of advice here. And better to be touched. Once you find several freelancers that you like, keep your contact information near the village of these people can be invaluable to you. Also, treat them fairly in all their business relationships. If they are good, they will be an asset to your business. The little money you will save by trying them fucked not worth it. A good freelancer can be like a goose that Golden egg.

Remember that you have the money Man, Rainmaker, the person with creative ideas. Do what they do best and let freelancers what they are best!To you people, I’d say give it a try. Budget some money and get those time sucking jobs that are holding you back outsourced! Your bank account will thank you!

BeFree, Commission Junction and Value Click Named In Class Action Lawsuit

Well, for many, many years they said it would happen one day, and now it has. Commission Junction, BeFree and ValueClick have been named in a class action lawsuit over allowing AdWare companies access to their networks.

The lawsuit alleges Negligence, negligence and unfair business practices Wed CJ / BF ‘s Party by adware Affiliate Society of stream operate Their operation Wed Those networks. Core, the stream Seems To Be That CJ / BF ha deliberate weather allows adware operation Wed Their partners, Those networks WHO commission commit theft and false transactions through adware programs.

Personally I am glad Veldig å view this skje. If you are an affiliate marketing, you should be happy unless you Do you like å see how Much kommisjon be tapped av parasites.

What is a ‘Parasite’ or Adware. The best way I can explain it is to give you an example.

Let’s say you’re an affiliate for a company sellings square widgets. You have a website and you’ve signed up with an affiliate network to be a affiliate with a company that sells square widgets. You put up a website with ads for the square widgets from the Square Widget Company.

Here is where the scam begins: Many of the Parasite or “adware”companies put out “free” tool bars with hidden programs in them. Sally House Maker and other consumers to download these “free ” toolbars and use them on their computers. These toolbars to monitor web surfing activity through adware applications. They know where you go, what you see and what you click.

Now let’s say Sally House Maker is looking for a square widget and find your site, click on the size of the widget space they want. When she clicks on the link to the widget space she wants, is your affiliate ID number to the affiliate network where it is logged and then on to the seller, so that order can be filled.

However, remember that the toolbar that Sally House Maker installed? Well, that “free” toolbar with hidden adware program intercepts the link with your affiliate ID in it and replace it with their own affiliate ID and sends it on to the merchant, so they get credit for sales, do not you, so they get commission, not YOU.

As Dr. Phil would say “How is that working out for you?”

For many years a lot of affiliates have tried to make waves over this but the large affiliate networks have ignored them and kept pandering to the large companies with the adware programs. Now it looks like it’s time to pay the fiddler!

You can find out more about Adware and Spyware by checking out the Spyware Warrior.

I hope this is a lesson not only to the Parasite (adware) developers, but to the rest of the affiliate networks that allow these companies free reign. The time of screwing the affiliates is OVER!

7 Tips For Building An Opt In Email List For Increased Profits

emaillistbuilder

Building an opt in email list is the most powerful income generating tool you can create. It seems in this day of blog mania, this most effective means of creating income has been forgotten by many. Email list marketing can be your road to financial freedom, but first you need a targeted email list!

WHY IS CREATING AN OPT IN EMAIL LIST SO POWERFUL?

It is a common saying among affiliate marketers. It goes something like this: “The Money Is in the list”. I will make a better and say “Your Targeted email list is Where The Riches Are Real. ”

A simple saying that rings true, even in this day and age. Probably more so with the amount of Garbage circulating around the internet.

The reason for an opt in email list that you create carries so much power is because people who have opted into your list has any confidence in you and the product they are registered. Provided that they are satisfied with what they signed up for. If you want them, you can forget about them to buy something from you again!

Survey after survey reveals that people are more likely to buy from companies they have bought from before. (yes, I know, big DUH), but people are also more likely to buy from a company or website where they got some valuable service or downloaded a free e-book that they found useful.

If two websites are selling an identical product and one site has an opt in email list and the other doesn’t, the Internet shopper will more than likely choose the site that recommended the product or a site they feel safe with over the site they’ve never heard of. This is why it’s important to have a list of subscribers to push your best deals to. Not only is it a benefit for them, it’s a huge monetary benefit for you.

HERE ARE MY 7 TIPS TO BUILDING AN OPT IN EMAIL LIST

Publish an Online Newsletter Publishing a newsletter once or twice per month can have people lined up ready to give you their e-mail addresses. It is important that you use a service like Constant Content or Aweber. These companies will give you a sign up form and automatically handles all of your sign up for e-do for you. Think of it like building a targeted opt in email list automatically. So all you need to do is to create newsletters and press “Post”and you’re done. Simple as that.

Write an Money eBook or Special Report and Give It Away-The eBook does not need to be a War and Peace type of eBook, a special report of 5-15 pages to create a flood of new e-mail if it is a timely and valuable content. Junkola or regurgitated “free” eBooks or special reports that are easily available on the internet or PLR websites will be of “unsubscribe” link burning up with people afraid of you and offer reporting as spam. Write, or pay someone to write a valuable part of the content!
Stalk The Forums – Chances are your niche has any number of Internet forums you could visit and participate in. One of my blogs/websites has to do with construction tools. I found about a dozen forums where I could participate. Use a signature link to drive people to your site (if the forums will allow it, some don’t) If the forums do not allow signature links, you can always wait for the opportunity to post a link to a helpful page on your site. Most forums will allow you to post a link in your user Profile as well. Even if you can’t post links, if you’re helpful enough and post quality suggestions to peoples problems, they’ll check your Profile to find out more about you and come across a link to your site. Don’t underestimate Forums!
Content Is Still King – Yes, I just checked and King Content is still reigning on his throne. Write quality content and people will want more of what you have to offer. This makes it much easier for them to trust you with their email address.
Use Articles To Create A Flood Of New Subscribers – I’ve discussed the advantages of article marketing before. If you follow the advice in that article, you can have a steady stream of new subscribers beating a path to your sign up form month after month. Article marketing sets you out as an expert in your niche. People trust experts!
People Are Lazy, Make It Easy For Them To Give You Their Email Address- Face it, we’re lazy. Having said that, you need to make it as easy as possible for people to sign up for whatever you’re offering. I can’t tell you the number of times I visit a blog or website and immediately want to know more about the niche and I search and search for a newsletter or other sign up form and can’t find one. Put the sign up form above the fold and as close to the content as possible. I use borders, graphics and colored text to draw attention to my sign up forms. Make it easy by providing links to the form as well. Be sure to list the benefits of signing up, ie; will they get free stuff or “can’t find it anywhere else secrets”?
If all else fails, buy a mailing list, there are a number of list brokers out there. Some of these can be expensive. Some are very cheap. Be careful on the list you buy. You do not want to buy a list from a spammer who sent people hundreds of spam emails. Buy from a quality list broker and ensure that the list is opt-in e-mail list. A double opt in email list is even better.
Bonus Tip: If you have a very good product or service, contact people who already have a list and offer them a cut of the profits. Expect to fork over anywhere from 40 to 60% of the profits to have them promote your product or service to their list. This may sound steep, but remember, it’s the list they built and the people on his list trust them. They are more likely to buy from your joint venture partner if he / she supports the product. Consider it a wise investment, because you will be able to jump start your own list of buyers of the joint venture.

2 Secret Words That Can Double Your Click Rate

What if I told you there were two little words you can use in your marketing that will double your click through rate? How much would you pay me for those two words? What if I told you these two words were so powerful that when read, people will click on them like mindless zombies? How much then.

Good news friends. I’m feeling charitable and will share these two words with you for free! Yes, you heard right, free! (trying out my County Fair pitch voice here…lol)

EXPERIMENTING WITH YOUR SITES WILL LEAD YOU TO DISCOVER NEW CONVERSION TECHNIQUES

I discovered these two secret words sometime ago while running some experiments on CrazyEgg. Click here to read my review of CrazyEgg.

I had one page on another site with a link at the end of a long post. I had placed the link there without much thought. Through CrazyEgg, I learned that people were clicking that link. I then moved that link above the fold which increased the CTR. Then I changed the wording of that link using my two secret words and my CTR went through the roof!

So to prove to myself this wasn’t a fluke, I changed the wording in the link text on my other sites using these two words and experienced the same increase in click through rates on every link I changed! I noticed anywhere from a 13.1% increase all the way up to a 62.7% increase in the number of clicks those links received.

OKAY DON, ENOUGH OF THE SUSPENSE, JUST TELL US WHAT THESE SECRET WORDS ARE!

Not so fast partner. First I have to tell you why I believe these words are so powerful. I believe these two words, when used together, are powerful and subconsciencly drives people to click on your ads because they have been “trained” to do it by the Internet Society.

They’re powerful when used together because they direct a visitor to perform an action.

Anytime you’re writing ads, landing pages or any offers for a product, you must direct your visitors to do what it is your trying to get them to do. “Order now” or “Call Now” are two very powerful call to action phrases that many people fail to take advantage on with their affiliate marketing pieces.

OKAY, DRUM ROLL PLEASE….YOUR TWO SECRET WORDS TO INCREASE YOUR CLICK THROUGH RATE ARE…

Wait a minute, before I tell you what they are, I want read this post on copy writing. I know you’ll learn some important tips for your affiliate marketing or blog.

Okay, here you go, I’ve dragged this on long enough. One reason I did it was to prove a point, which I’ll show you later.

The two secret words that will increase your click through rate are…

Yep, that’s it. Feel let down? Don’t. I just made you a lot of money. You can thank me later

WHY ARE THESE TWO WORDS SO POWERFUL?

Because as I mentioned above, the instant a visitor to perform an action. Whether people like it or whether we realize it, we like to be told what to do. When you send your visitors to do something, it is less likely to go about doing something that is less valuable to you, such as pressing the “Back” button!

The words have been part of the Internet since its inception. That’s how we learned to navigate the internet from day one.

Internet surfers, and this includes me, is that you see on Chickens County Fair. They will dance as long as they are a reward for the show. That’s what we’ve learned the words do when used together with a link.

Now you have a pair of words that not only direct visitors to do something, but that are ingrained in their subconscious minds that a pleasant experience awaits them after they. That’s pretty powerful in anyone’s book

How To Create Profitable Ebay Affiliate Websites

howtomakemoneywithebay

UPDATE: I can no longer recommend the Build A Niche Store Program now that Google has De Indexed many BANS Sites. Most of mine were also indexed. It seems the problem lies with Google not liking the fact that the BANS program is a script that makes websites by auto generating web pages with affiliate links on them.

However, all of my BANS sites are still ranked in Yahoo and Bing.

If you are looking for a legitimate way to build eBay stores, so I’d recommend you take a look at ProStores. They are currently offering one month free trial period for you to try them out. Here is a link to the free trial >>>>> One month free trial! ProStores – an eBay Company

About two months ago I bought two programs that promised to help anyone make money with ebay affiliate program. I’m skeptical of any script or program that promises quick and easy profits. I bet you are too. So when I came across these programs, I spent a good deal of time researching both of them before plopping my hard earned money down.

EBAY AFFILIATE PROGRAM – THE GOOD, BAD & UGLY

I’ve used the ebay affiliate program in the past to make some decent money. The benefit of using ebay is that the content changes on a regular basis plus ebay pays a high percentage of profit back to its affiliates.

The downside in the past is that you had to stay on top of the code and make sure it showed relevant auctions. On some days I’d check one of my websites where I was using the ebay affiliate program and it was spot on. Other days, my site was showing auctions for everything from lingerie to collectible dolls from Japan! (the site is an industrial tool site)

When the ads were showing relevant auctions, I’d make pretty good money. When they weren’t, which was often, I wouldn’t make a penny.

I hoped that AuctionAds would change this, but I’ve had the same problem with AuctionAds as I did getting the code directly from ebay.

Eventually I got tired of fighting with the code and quirky nature of the ebay affiliate program and stopped using it. I’ve also removed all AuctionAds from my sites as well.

CREATE AN EBAY AFFILIATE SITE IN MINUTES

I kept hearing about a program, or script, called BANS on the DigitalPoint Forums. It was getting rave reviews from those who had used it. I was still skeptical because I know some of the Forum members would stretch the truth to make a sale.

So I researched this program. It’s called Build A Niche Store or BANS for short.

It’s a PHP script that creates webpages that have specific ebay auctions on them. It can even create normal HTML pages within your site.

What BANS does is create an entire website. It uses several templates that come with the program. One of the features of this script is that you can use it with your own templates by inserting a little PHP code. (which the user manual describes in detail)

I found BANS a lot easier to set up than I had originally thought it would be. I’m not a programmer by any stretch of the imagination, so I was a little worried. However all the reviews I’d read stated the program was simple to set up and use.

And it was.

My first site took me about 30 minutes to get installed and set up the basic functions. My installation time for new sites has now been reduced to 10 to 15 minutes per site since I’ve became familiar with the script.

The templates that come with the script are customizable. You can choose the color and layout. If you now the basics of CSS, you can change quite a bit on the templates. The possibilities are nearly endless!

GETTING STARTED WITH THE BUILD A NICHE STORE PROGRAM

Before I go any further, I will tell you that you’ll need a CJ PID number (which you get when you joing CJ) and be approved by Ebay. These are simple to obtain, so I’ll not spend time on them.

Once you have the site installed and live, you can then begin to customize each page. BANS works off ebay category numbers. Once you’ve picked a main category, the script will even show sub-categories off of the main one if you want it to.

If the Category you choose is a big one, you could have literally hundreds of pages created within minutes.

I first used BANS on a site of mine that is 3 years old. I have never been able to nail down the niche for this site because I picked too broad of a subject when I first built the site. I’ve been wanting to make a change to the site, so once I had the BANS program, I wiped out the site and started fresh.

Within 30 minutes I had a basic BANS site up and running. Over the next several days, I created a custom logo and customized my Auction pages (which is important if you want you pages SEO’d, which in itself is important if you want free organic traffic from the search engines!)

Since this site was several years old and ranked fairly good for several search terms, I had early traffic. Not a whole lot, but enough that the site started making money within 3 days.

I wish I could say that about every site I built!

I then proceeded to make another site with a new domain. I was curious to see how long it would be before my first sale with a spanking new domain.

Again, I had BANS installed on the new domain within 30 minutes. In about two days, I had a hot new content rich website with fresh graphics ready to go.

I had the site indexed in Google within 4 days.

Then, the first sale happened on the 6th day. Not a huge sale, but a sale none-the-less!

That site is about two months old. I got all of the pages indexed and it’s ranking for some top keywords in its niche. (it’s a small niche so this wasn’t an Earth shattering task)

I’m now making some good change off this website.

More websites followed. (I have 7 BAN sites currently) My goal is to have anywhere from 50 to 100 BANS sites within a year. I’m concentrating on small niches and I’m working on each site making anywhere from $300 to $1000 per month. With the results I’m seeing so far from this program, I should reach that goal fairly easily.

FEATURES OF BANS

One of the things that sold me on BANS is that it’s so customizable. I don’t want my sites to look like everyone else’s. I can also drill down to specific products and choose how many products per page are shown.

Furthermore, all auctions are relevant since they work off of category numbers and not “keywords”.

The other thing I loved is how it created sub-categories automatically. That is a huge, HUGE, time-saver…and money maker!

Other Features of the BANS program include:

Choose between 1 and 100 products per page
Up to 3 layouts per page
Customizable SEARCH feature embedded into your website
Ability to display or not to display auctions on your front page
Product content is keyword rich and read easily by search engines
Ability to add my own content
Ability to add other affiliate programs to the websites. This allows you to add other affiliate programs to increase your sites profits. Many other BANS owners use Adsense. I used related Affiliate Programs to my websites theme.
Content is automatically updated 24 hours a day as the auctions change…no need in constantly screwing with code
Pages that BANS create are URL search engine friendly
Ability to change the Title, Description and META tags of each page. Helps make your website more focused and unique.
Member forum where you can find support and many answers to your questions about making money from this program.
If this sounds interesting to you, go visit the BANS website where you can see many Build A Niche Store’s in action.

Be sure to come back tomorrow for Part 2 when I’ll tell you about another program that I’m using on blogs to take advantage of the ebay affiliate program. I’m using this program to monetize traffic to some of my blogs without changing the layout or content of these blogs.

THE BELOW OFFER IS NO LONGER BEING OFFERED – SORRY!

Bans If the program sounds like something you’d like to start using, I’ll help you get it optimized and earn money in a short period of time.

Here’s the deal. Bans purchase program through this site and I will send you a FREE Special Report that I have written.

The Special Report entitled “How to maximize profits with Ebay Affiliate Programs”

This Free Special Report shows the steps I take to optimize a ban site including SEO techniques, ie, things I do and not do during the set up of my ban area, traffic generation tips and tricks to send a stream of targeted traffic to my new sites, monetization methods that have worked for me and just importantly, the methods that have bombed plus this Free Special Report will have the tools and resources that I use to get all this done and get my place up and make money during the short time.

I’ll also be show you HOW to find profitable niches for your BANS site. I have a few sites that I thought would be profitable (craft related) because the keyword terms have high searches. However these sites have flopped.

I’ve developed a technique to locate niches that people are actively searching and buying in. Since I learned how to use this technique, I haven’t had any sites flop and many have surprised me at how much they earn. A lot of them are in niches I would never have thought of before!

Affliate Programs And Other Affilate Profitable Misspellings

This morning I was reviewing my logs as I do each week to see how people are finding Affiliate Watcher.Com when I kept noticing something strange. I then went to my Google Webmaster account and checked over the last months analytical to verify what I was seeing on my logs.

I’m ranking pretty high in the Goggle SERPS for the term affliate programs. Yes, affliate program is misspelled, it should be affiliate programs.

In the past month, the terms affiliate program, affiliate programs, top affiliate program has been responsible for over 2000 visits.

In another example, on a weight loss of my blogs, I discovered that it was found wth a misspelling of a very competitive keyword. So I wrote a blog about people finding my weight Loos site by typing in misspelled keyword. You know what? In a week’s time I took # 1 in Elgoog for the misspelled keyword and the increased traffic to my bog, and increased my RSS subscribers.

WHY YOU SHOULD TARGET misspelled KEYWORDS

To those who use PPC marketing to earn money on the Internet, misspelled words are a gold mine. In many cases, misspelled keywords outperform any correctly spelled keywords. Not everyone is a perfuct spelling, and even the best typist hit the wrong keys everyonce in a while when you perform searches.

HOW TO MAKE MONEY WITH MISSPELLED KEYWORDS

If you’re using Google Analytic, go into your control panel and and go to ”Traffic Sources” then go to “Keywords”. This is where you’ll see the keywords that people are finding your website.

If you’re using another program such as Stat Counter, it’s just as easy. Just find the Keyword button.

You should then add those misspelled words into your keyword list. Find someway to add them to your content of your websight. I think you’ll be pleasantly happy with the results.

Online Make Money Without A Website

makemoneywithoutawebsite

There are many ways to make money online without a website. This is just one technique that I stumbled on. You see, I’m never content with the same old-same old. I “experiment” (and I use that word loosely) with different ways to make money. Some of them turn out disastrous while others prove to be nice surprises.

The inspiration for this method came one day when I asked myself “Self, I wonder what would happen if I created a product page from a big Merchant with one item on it and threw a bunch of relevant anchor text links at it?” To which myself replied “Well Don, I don’t know. Let’s try it and see what happens.” (Yeah, I have these little chats with myself all the time.)

In order to make this technique work, and it doesn’t work 100% of the time, you’ll need two basic things.

An affiliate account with a merchant that allows you create single product pages. The merchant must be an authority site such as Amazon.
A method to generate a fair amount of relevant links to your site with anchor text. You can use tnx, LinkVana, back to your solutions or a number of other links networks out there. Article marketing is also a great way to generate the necessary backlinks if you can mass produce some articles.
What we do here is to use Merchants authority site on themselves to make our individual product page higher than the main government web site page. Kinda underhanded but hey, all is fair in love and affiliate marketing!

What you need to do is select a product from the Merchant that is fairly new. This will reduce competition and increase your chances of getting the best SERPS rankings pretty quickly.

Let’s say you had created a single product page for the MacBook Air when it first came out. You would then take your single product page on the MacBook Air and create targeted back links to it.

It’s important that you do not use the same anchor text over and over. Change it up. Your keywords for anchor text would be something like.

MacBook Air
MacBook Air Review
MacBook Air Reviews
Buy MacBook Air
MacBook Air vs IBM ThinkPad
Apple MacBook Air
This way, you can still use the Merchants authority to rank well and avoid tipping Google off to what you’re doing. If you only use one or two targeted anchor text, Google could flag this as Google bombing. That wouldn’t be good.

Another advantage to using a merchant who has an authority site is that you can build a large amount of links to your product without waking up Google. If you were to build massive amounts of links to a new site about the MacBook Air, they will probably slam you pretty hard. It is not natural to have tons of new links to new websites and Google have this figured out now. (do not ask me how I know), however, Google wants to see a large amount of links go to these authority sites so you do not notify them when you send all your targeted anchor links to your product.

As I said earlier. This technique does not always work 100% of the time, but it works pretty damn often for me. The trick is to be also on the lookout for new products coming down the pipe and be able to produce quality one way back links to your page.

In the future, I’ll try and post more articles on how to make money online without a website since I know a some of you are just starting out and do not have websites.

The Keyword Crash Course Review – Learn How Make Money With Niche Websites

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Niche websites and blogs are where the money is at in Internet Marketing and Affiliate Marketing, especially on a local level. Out of all the emails I get asking me for help, this one subject is probably the most asked about. I simply don’t have time to answer all the questions. I’ve covered a lot of the subjects and strategies on this blog inflatable slide, but there is more some of you need to know to get started making money with niche sites.

That said, a while ago I bought the keyword Crash Course. This is a course that Mark Butler and Courtney Tuttle developed. The whole course was about to start sites, the magnetization of them and get free traffic from search engines like Google engines. Although I was sure he knew that 99% of the things that were going to teach (after all, I make a good income of these things now), I was hoping to learn some tricks that would make me more money or save time for me. I was not disappointed by the course. In fact, I felt like the course pay for itself within the first 30 minutes of watching the first video. Of course, the course costs $ 597. I spend a lot more in courses that do not have near the amount of information they contain.

If you know the Court and Mark, then you know that are honest and helpful. In fact, some people are more honest and useful that I have met online. Everything is ready for you and they have nothing in return. (unlike many of the courses I’ve bought!) In fact, I will go so far as to say the keyword Crash Course is the most legitimate and easy to follow course I bought. This is a nuts and bolts course that almost anyone can follow and make money.Within the first 30 minutes of the first video, Court describes how to find profitable keywords using “The Formula“. This was the bombshell that I had been looking for. Every once in a while, something will come along that makes you set back and take a deep breath, all the while thinking “Damn, this is what I’ve been searching for!” That is how I felt when Court showed me The Formula for evaluating profitable keywords.

I’ll tell you this also, when you start finding those little Gold nuggets of Keywords, it won’t take you long to figure out that you can use them to build Affiliate Sites rather than Adsense sites if that is what you want to do. If more people would use The Formula, there would be a lot less people failing at this game.

Before this, I had my own system for finding good Keywords, but it was hit and miss. Some keywords paid very well, while others fizzled. I still get some keywords that don’t pay when I use The Formula, but a lot less. By using Court’s Formula, I’ve been able to amass about 90 keywords that will turn into some very nice Niche sites mickey mouse inflatable water park.

Now Court and Mark have opened up the site to the Public and you can see everthing in the original Course for only $1 (yeah, the same Course I paid $597 for!)

This video will take you step by step and show you how to choose profitable keywords for your niche site (using the formula), the establishment of Word Press, how and where to find back links, how to obtain the content of the sites your niche and how to set up Adsense and other advertising to make money from their sites.

There is also a short video on the end that will show you how to turn new sites for money. I found this very interesting and something you can try in the future.

Why Are They Only Charging $1?

Court and Mark feel that once you’ve seen the quality of the training material, you’ll want to subscribe to their monthly service where they’ll be bringing you more information about building and ranking websites, live Webinars and live Q&A sessions. This subscription is $29 per month and totally optional. You can sign up for $1, get all the information that was in the original course for $597 and forget about the rest if you want to. They’re fine with that. They only want people who are serious about making money online.

People, if I could stear you to another course that I thought was better, one that taught you how to make money online with Niche sites, I would. But there is simply nothing out there as thorough and easy to follow that Court and Mark’s Keyword Crash Course. If you’re serious about learning how to make money online, this is one course you need to take. If after the course, you can’t make money online, then this business is probably not for you. That’s how good I believe this course is. And for only $1, you sure as hell won’t find a better bargain.

Most of these types of programs will charge a fee until you have a certain number of sign ups through your website.

Now that I’ve showed you a few effective ways to market you credit card affiliate website offline, let me show you a few ways to do it online.

Basically, the way I started out marketing my own credit card affiliate website was the same method I used in the January $2500 Challenge. I signed up in several forums and answered questions about debt, finance, family related questions and questions about credit cards. My signature had a link to my site in it. In some post, where it was relevant, I left a link to my site.

I also promoted my affiliate website on Yahoo Answers and Wiki’s whenever I answered a question and where a link made sense and was helpful. If you go in and start throwing links all over the place, you’ll be banned in no time flat for spamming, as you should be.

Another good way to promote your affiliate link is through article marketing as well as building a network of sites over family and personal finance. Although this will take a while, once you have the traffic coming in, this could be a very good money earner.
