Niche & Keyword Research
INTRO –
In this module we are going to talk about all things keyword and niche research.
You will learn how to find the right keywords and products to promote. The
keywords that we choose in this module are the keywords that are going to be used
to optimize your blogs for.
This part of the process should not take that long, and I feel that people tend to let
themselves become bogged down when they are looking for niches and keywords to
target as well.
This type of mindset is something that I want you to get out of, and as you will see in
this module I approach keyword and niche research quite simply.
PART 2 –
In this video you will learn about market research, how I conduct market research
and how I evaluate niches to see if they are going to make me money.
There are a couple of resources online that I like to use to brainstorm niches to work
in.
1) EzineArticles
You can find lots of ideas to start with, to take to the evaluation step that you will
see later on this module.
Drill down on the categories and you will find many sub categories. You can then
take a look at articles that are published. You will be surprised at the amount of
niches and ideas you can get from doing this.
2) Flippa.com
keyword research pro allows you conduct searches based on products & also hot
trends as well.
If you get stuck brainstorming ideas and niches, this tool is a great time saver and
will help you find more niches then you will be able to work in as well.
Visit keyword research pro to learn more about this tool
Once you have brainstormed you should have up to 5 keywords in your list to run
through keyword research pro.
Here is the breakdown of what you need to do in keyword research pro.
· Generate more keywords for each of your seed keywords.
· Take the top 5 keywords in each list and then analyse them for adwords data.
· Then take the results and put them into the filter tab in keyword research
pro.
· You will need do to this for each of your keywords you have chosen to
research further.
We will use the adwords data to help us make to figure out if a niche is worth
pursuing.
The basic rule of thumb that I follow is this…
The more money advertisers are spending on adwords, then the higher chance that
niche is profitable and will make you money.
The video highlights this very well, and keyword research pro is a great tool to
quickly help you evaluate whether a niche is worth your time or not.
So once you have decided what keywords to go after by looking at the adwords data.
Then you need to head to google and take a look at competition for the highest
volume traffic keywords that you have in your filter tab in keyword research pro.
When you head to google you want to search with “ “ surrounding your keywords.
This will give you the exact match competition for that keyword.
If you get results under 1million pages for the exact match, that is a good thing. The
way we build links and promote these blogs means that we can target quite high
competition keywords.
I would suggest that you try and find your main keywords with competition under 1
million competing pages to start with, and then work your way up from there.
Once you have gone through this process you will have a good idea of what your
main keyword will be for your first blog.
When you decide what your main keyword your blog will target, it is then time to
find a product to promote as well.
PART 3 –
It is time to find a product that relates to your main keyword. I find products in the
following ways.
- · Search google using the main keyword, and see what merchants are coming
up. If there are merchants see if they have an affiliate program.
- · Search google using other keywords that you generate from your main
keyword. You want to find other affiliates promoting the merchants you have
found in during your last search. What you want to see if the same merchants
being promoted by affiliates.
- · Search through adwords results and find affiliates that are promoting
merchants this way.
- · If you can’t find any merchants by doing the above steps, then you can head
to clickbank, commission junction and search for merchants through there to
work with.
You want to merchants that have professional looking sites and that you think will
convert when you send users to their sites.
PART 4 –
- · Sign up to the affiliate program you have chosen, and add all details to the
blog management spreadsheet.
- · Use keyword research pro and generate more product specific keywords
based on the product name you are promoting.
- · Once you have done that, you need to add those keywords to your blog
management spreadsheet as well.
At the end of this process you will have a main keyword, and also product specific
keywords that you are going to rank your blog for.

In module three, you will learn how to get your hands on the right domains for your
blogs. You will also learn how to set up your hosting accounts the right way and who
to use to best support your growing blog network as well.
PART 2 –
It is time to get yourself a domain name for the blog that you are going to build.
- · Head to namecheap to start search for a domain name that will be best suit
your blog. Namecheap are the most reliable and cheapest domain registrar
that I know of.
- · Try and use your main keyword in the domain as well. Having your main
keyword in the domain does help with SEO.
- · If the main keyword on its own has been taken, then add extra words on like.
Guide, Review, Hub, Deals etc..
- · If you can find any domains that will fit your main keyword, do not worry.
Start doing searches on your product then and find a domain using the same
process above.
- · Your domain is also important for increasing your CTR ( click through rate )
from the search results. You want to structure your domains to help users
click your listing vs your competition.
PART 3 –
Once you have registered your new domain name, it is time to addon the domain to
your hosting account.. this is a very easy and simple process.
Before I talk about that, I wanted to talk about who I use to host all my niche blogs.
Bluehost.com I feel is one of the best shared hosting companies around at the
moment, and I think this because I have been with them for about three years now.
I have tried many hosts.. But Bluehost.com offer the best support that I have seen,
and I have tried many hosts out there as well.
We have been able to get a deal for our members that you can see below.

main to your
new hosting account.

nameservers. NS1.bluehost.com & NS2.bluehost.com

the nameservers are pointing to bluehost.

MODULE 3
Blog Setup
Module 3 Intro –
Module 3 is a very large module. We will show you how to build exact same blogs as
the demo blogs we have built for this course.
PART 2 –
- · Login to your cpanel account and select either fantastico deluxe or simple
scripts. Bluehost and most hosts would rather you use simple scripts as it is
more stable then fantastico.
- · Once you are in the simple scripts interface, you just need to select the
wordpress icon.
- · Once you have done that, you just need to select install.
- · Select your domain from the drop down list and select complete.
- · Once you are done, all you need to do is add the blogs details to your blog
management spreadsheet.
PART 3 –
- · We are going to turn the plain blog that you installed into the structure of the
demo blogs.
- · We do this by setting up a master blog on our server that has all the
modifications, layout set up and also all the themes & plugins that we are
going to use for our blogs.
- · We then clone this master blog over using WP Cloner. This tool allows us to
take a complete copy of one blog and put it on another blog with the click of a
button. Once you have set up a master blog on your server. All you need to
do is clone that blog over to your new fresh blog. This is highlighted in video
three.
- · Setting up a master blog is not as hard as you think. It just allows you to save
a lot of time by not having to upload all the themes, plugins that you want to
use. Plus you only set up the blog once for all the things that the search
engines are looking for. Set it up once and never have to do it again… Easy as
pie!
- · Below is how I have structured the layout for my master blog.
- · We have a custom logo and also our product review link & main keyword link
in the category menu. We do this to help with SEO and linking back the home
page of the blog.
- · We also have a product review & bonus give away on the home page of the
blog as well. We use a static page as the home page of the blog, so when
users visit your site they will see the product review straight away.
- · A custom footer is set up with all the pages that the SE’s look for such as the
privacy, terms, about and contact us pages. We also link back to our home
page from the footer as well using the main keyword as anchor text.
- · There is also an optin form placed in the right hand column of the blog, this is
placed above the fold and is very visible. You should also give away some
other bonus to help encourage users to give you their names & email
addresses. I use Aweber to handle all my autoresponder needs and subscriber
management. I have take the html that Aweber has provided me and styled
as you can see below. I have then added the code to my master blog. This
means I only have to do this once per niche I decide to enter.
- · You should link to authority sites and also to your twitter profile in the sidebar.
This helps for SEO and gaining trust from the search engines as well.
- · I use the following plugins for ALL my blogs.. I upload my plugins once to my
master blog. Below is the list of the plugins that I use for ALL my blogs. Just
click on the name to be taken to their sites and download the plugins. Please
note some are paid plugins.
1. Caffeinated Content – This is a content generation plugin that is very easy and
fast to set up.
2. Global Translator – This helps the search engines index more pages of your
blogs, and send you international traffic as well.
3. Google XML sitemaps – This plugin will generate a sitemaps.org compatible
sitemap of your WordPress blog which is supported by Ask.com, Google, MSN
Search and YAHOO.
4. Link Cloaking Plugin – Automatically cloaks outgoing links in your posts and
pages. You can also add static cloaked links manually
5. Platinum SEO Pack – Complete SEO solution for your Wordpress blog.
6. SEO Smart Links – SEO Smart Links provides automatic SEO benefits for your
site in addition to custom keyword lists, nofollow and much more.
7. Sociable – Automatically add links on your posts, pages and RSS feed to your
favourite social bookmarking sites.
8. WP-Postviews – Enables you to display how many times a post/page had been
viewed.
9. WP Answers – Post questions from Yahoo! Answers based on your keywords.
This is another content generation plugin that I use, and this one is hands off
as well.
10. WP Video Tube – Post YouTube videos automatically based on keywords you
setup. his is another content generation plugin that I use, and this one is
hands off as well.
- · I only use premium themes for all my niche blogs. You can upload all your
themes to your master blog, and they will be cloned over when you clone
your new blog. The great thing about this is that you only have to set up all
your themes on your master blog the one time. Then you can choose any
theme you would like to use when you have cloned the blog.
I only use premium themes as I do not want any of my blogs to look like any
spam blogs that you might have come across online. When users visit your
blogs, they are more likley to stay on the site if the site looks professional and
well maintained. You can not achieve this by using free themes. Professional
looking blogs increase conversions as well.
I only use one company for all my premium theme needs, and that is WOO
Themes. I feel they are best wordpress themes club online and I do not think I
will ever use another theme club online. Their themes are easy to use and
simple to customize.
You can get 2 themes for the price of 1, but their club membership is very
cheap compared to other theme clubs found online.
- · Once you have set up your master blog on your server. All you need to do
with WP Cloner is add your new blog that you just created and press one
button. It can’t be any easier then that.
- · After only a few clicks of your mouse, your new blog is ready to go and and it
has only taken you about 2 or 3 minutes to do so. If you were to upload all
your plugins and themes, and then customize your theme as well, it would
take 1 –2 hours to do everything. WP Cloner is a massive time saver.
PART 4 –
- · We are going to create a custom logo for our new blog.
- · When I started online I put in the effort to learn a graphics package. I
currently use fireworks for all my graphics and this program is all I need for
online work. I do not use photoshop as I feel this program is overkill for what
we need it for.
- · You can use some free graphics packages like The Gimp & Coffee Cup as well.
- · Try and make your logo similar to the merchants. This helps with conversions
as well.
- · I also use the same background color of the merchants site and my site as
well. This can be seen in affiliate store guide & the datafeedr site ( merchant )
You will notice that the logos and the background colors are very similar. This
is done to make sure that the user does not get too much of a surprise then
they leave your site and head over to the merchants site.
- · Once you have a logo, I normally create an images directory in the main site
directory. I then just add the image path to the theme control panel. All woo
themes have their own custom settings page. It helps with banner
management and also logo management as well.
- · The background color is normally changed in the themes.css file. You can edit
this in the theme editor in the admin area of your new blog. If you get stuck
you just need to consult your themes set up guide to see how to change the
background colours.
- · If you do not know how to make logo’s, and you just cant be bothered you can
find designers that will be willing to make you logos for as low as $10
You can find them at.
1. Digitalpoint
- · Just head to their Buy, Sell & Trade sections. You will find plenty of designers
to help you out. You can also post a thread to get help as well.
PART 5 –
- · You need to set up your affiliate link so that users do not know that the link is
an affiliate link, plus the search engines do not like affiliate links. So it is
advisable to set up a simple redirect via .htaccess
- · Once you login to your cpanel, click on filemanager and then select your blogs
directory in the drop down box.
- · You need to right click the .htaccess file, and select code edit.
- · Once that is open you need to add the the follow code at the bottom of the
file
redirect 301 /whateverdirectory/whatevername http://www.yourafflink.com
As you can see below, this has been set up for affiliate store guide. So when
anyone tries to access /deals/datafeedr on my blog, they will be redirected via
the affiliate link without them even knowing.
So in essence you make up a page on your site that does not exsist, and then
the .htaccess will redirect your user by your affiliate link.
- · You then will want to set up the affiliate banners.. This is quite easy, all you
need to do is login to your affiliate account and find where they keep their
banners.
- · Once you have found them, it is really easy to set them up if you are using a
Woo themes wordpress theme.
- · As you can see below, all you need to do is enter the image path and the
redirect that you set up earlier, and you are all set. Just add the banners that
the theme you are using has been set up to use.
- · We now need a review for the product you are promoting. The home page of
your blog will be a product review.
- · I get my reviews by doing a search in google – product name review
- · Then I copy and paste no fewer then 10 reviews into a txt file.
- · I then use spinner tags { | } to mash those reviews together into one large
seed article. So that it can be used as the main review on the blog, then also
be used for marketing submissions as well.
- · Once you have mashed the article together, you then need to open up SEnuke
and put the seed article in the article spinner.
- · You then need to keep spinning this article until you see a review that you
would like to use as your review on your blog.
- · You also want to add some anchor text on your home page as well, using the
main keyword if you can and also some of the product specific keywords as
well. This will help the search engines figure out what your site is about and
what to rank your home page for as well.
- · You do not need to add to many links, just 3 or 4 will be enough. Make sure to
use the redirect link that you made earlier for your affiliate link.
- · Through the review you will also need to add a link, with a call to action that
encourages the user to click through to the merchant site.
- · Place these links in the centre of the page as you see below, and also place
them at various points throughout the review page.
- · You also want to add a screenshot of the merchants website, with a headline
underneath talking about the review and also how they can get a massive
bonus by purchasing through this site.
- · You want to then add some user reviews / testimonials under your review so
that users can see what others think of the product. The best place to get
these reviews is from the merchant sites directly.
- · One of the main ways that we try and increase conversions is by offering a
bonus to users if they purchase through our site as well.
- · One other way to increase conversions even further is to contact the
merchant and ask for a discount code or coupon. Then the user can get a
bonus ( usually ebooks or software ) and the discount off the purchase price
as well.
- · I get all my bonuses from Master Resale Rights. These guys have the largest
collection of PLR & MRR ebooks, software, audio, video, templates etc… found
anywhere online.
- · I usually offer anywhere between 4 and 6 ebooks as a package. You should
always put a monetary value on the package as well. This does not mean
anything, but it helps put real value on the bonus.
- · Master Resale Rights have the largest and cheapest collection of PLR & MRR
products online. You can create bonuses for just about any niche using this
site.
PART 6 –
- · To make sure that all images that are uploaded by Caffeinated Content will
show on your blog, you need to update the images path in the database.
- · You first need to know what database your blog has been built with. Simple
scripts name your databases numbers & letters.
- · You can find what your database is called by opening up your wp-config file.
- · In this case the database name is – wrd03
- · You then need to open phpmyadmin in cpanel, and then select the database.
- · Once the database is selected you need to select the options table > browse
and find line 59. This is the image upload path. You need to make sure its the
correct path to the uploads directory on your blogs directory.
- · You then need to set up your categories on your new blog, you should use the
main keywords as your categories as well. I normally use main keyword
articles, main keyword videos etc. This helps with seo.
- · It is now time to add content to your new categories with the content
generation plugins that we use. Caffeinated Content, WP Answers & WP
- · Using these plugins means you can have everything set up within just a few
minutes and do not to touch anything again. These are the best automated
content plugins online at the moment.
- · We add more theme related content on the domain, as it makes the site look
like a full and busy site. It helps with credibility with your users, and also helps
with SEO and credibility with the search engines as well.
PART 7 –
- · It is time to edit your about us, contact us, privacy & terms pages. These
pages are looked for by all search engines and is essential if you want to build
trust as quickly as you can with the search engines.
- · I use templates for all those pages in my master blog. I then just make
adjustments to all these pages by personalizing them with the blog name.
- · There are many sites online where you can get templates for a privacy policy
& terms pages. Just fire up trusty google for that one.
- · You then need to link to authority sites from your blogroll. Websites like
wikipedia are seen as an authority site.
- · You want to find sites that are of high PR and have been established for a long
period of time.
- · Linking to authority sites are essential as the search engines look for this as
well. This helps with SEO.
- · There is also nothing wrong with linking to the merchant you are promoting
using the main keyword as the anchor text as well.
- · It is time to set up the custom linking in the menu area. Most wordpress
themes that are from Woo Themes are easy to customize. You will normally
find that the header.php is the place to set up the custom links in those
places.
- · I do this the one time with my master blog, and never have to edit it again.
- · Using your main keyword and product keyword to link back to the home page
from every page on your site is very good for SEO.. I would encourage you to
do the same thing.
- · I also add my main keyword in the footer of the blog as well, this is for the
exact same reason as above.
- · Next on your list is to put your main keyword in as the title of your blog. This
is for SEO purposes. You find this in the general settings tab.
- · Once you have done that, you need to create your home page title,
description and keyword tags as well.
- · Platinum SEO will create all your titles, descriptions and keywords for the rest
fo your site. But you want to create a custom home page title etc.
- · You want to do this because you want to structure your home pages meta
data in such a way as to help encourage users to click on your link in the
search results vs one of your competitors.
- · You can edit this on the review page, at the bottom in the platinum SEO
settings.
- · It is very important to structure your home pages meta data to get users to
click on your link. Do not just stuff your titles & description with keywords.. it
wont work.
PART 8 –
- · We are going to add a whole bunch more keywords to the content that you
added to your blog earlier.
- · When ever any of these keywords are found in your content, they will be
linking back to your home page using anchor text, this is another important
thing to do for SEO purposes as well.
- · Fire up Keyword Research Pro. Generate as many keywords as you can and
then add them to the SEO Smart links plugin. You need to clean those
keywords up and format them so that they work with the plugin.
PART 9 –
- · We are going to set up a twitter profile that is going to use your blogs rss feed
as the content generation engine for your twitter feed. Twitter is a great
resource for free targeted traffic.
- · Try and use your main keyword if you can as your username, if you can’t then
try and find a username that is niche related.
- · You are going to want to add a custom background image and profile picture
as well to your twitter profile.
- · Also editing the bio of your profile is a good thing as well.
- · Then head to Twitterfeed.com and create an account. Twitterfeed allows you
to set up your blogs rss feed to update your twitter profile.
- · As you have already set up your blog to automatically post new posts on a
daily basis, then your twitter account with be also updated with the same
content.
- · I use a program called TweetAdder to manage all my blogs twitter profiles
automatically. It is the best twitter profile management software going
around at the moment.
- · The last thing you want to do is link to your newly created twitter profile from
your blogs sidebar.

MODULE 4
Blog Promotion
Module 4 Intro –
Module 4 is all about marketing. I will show you the exact steps that I take when I
market one of my blogs.
PART 2 –
- · We are going to be doing some blog commenting in this video. Blog
commenting is a very good way to get backlinks to your blogs, and lots of
them.
- · I hate doing things manually, so I have found a tool that help me post
comments on various blog platforms with the click of a button.
- · To do this I use the Scrapebox. It is the only tool that I have used that actually
gets past akismet. The bottom line is that it works.
- · Now before we make some comments on blogs to get backlinks, we need to
find some blogs to comment on.
- · When you get the Scrapebox, Is also comes with a url harvester that helps you
find theme related blogs based on keywords. It is very fast and fine lots of
blogs to comment on from all the major search engines.
- · You can also find blogs from various blogging platforms, which is great for link
diversity as well.
- · Once I have scraped as many urls as I want, I then use Scrapebox to clean up
the list by removing the duplicate urls only.
- · This is done as I do not want to comment on the same post more then once,
But if multiple posts from the same domain have been scraped, I am fine with
that.
- · The way Scrapebox works means that I can do a complete run with the
software for all my blogs that are in a similar niche at one time. This just saves
me a heap of time. This means I am using different keywords & urls for each
run.
· Once you have set up all your blog commenting files. All you need to do is
select all the files that you need to select and you are done… and you can
start posting.
- · Scrapebox is multi threaded, which means you will get through the comments
much faster.
- · I expect about a 30-50% success rate on comments posted.
- · So if you have 20,000 blogs to comment on, this means a lot of backlinks for
about 5 minutes of work.
- · Make sure that you update your blog management spreadsheet once you
have completed this submission.
- · Scrapebox is much more then just a blog commenter, you can also get
trackback links, referrer hits & do mass pinging as well.
- · It is a very versatile, powerful and simple program to use.
PART 3 –
- · We are now going generate hundreds of high quality, high PR backlinks to your
blogs.
- · We are going to do this with EVO2 by Pete Drew.
- · EVO2 is an seo automation suite, that basically saves you hours of work….
many many hours of work..
- · EVO2 Creates and confirms E-mail accounts totally on autopilot…
- · EVO2 Creates sites that you Own Forever, solving Captchas along the way…
- · EVO2 Promotes your new linking sites and your money sites to Smoking Hot
Web2.0 properties…
- · EVO2 Provides a deluge of backlinks to your money sites on dozens of high
page rank sites…
- · EVO2 Strategically links all your new Web2.0 properties together…
- · EVO2 Promotes money rss feed and new rss feeds created to the rss
aggregators…
- · EVO2 Promotes money site to the social bookmarking directories…
- · EVO2 Promotes money video to video directories…
- · EVO2 Creates a mash-up batch RSS feed and submits this to the rss
aggregators…
- · EVO2 Creates a mash-up batch RSS feed of all the new Site URL’s and
promotes this RSS feed…
- · Plus a whole bunch more as well….
- · One of the great things about EVO2 is that how simple and easy it is to use,
and how quickly you can build these high quality links.. with hardly any effort.
- · Firstly what you need to do is start the EVO2 wizard
- · Then you need to just fill out the form on the first page of the wizard.
- · You then let the program create an email account at yahoo for you.. all
automated.
- · Then you need to fill out the form on the 2nd step of the wizard.
- · I do not use the video module, but there is no reason why you do not have to.
I have not used it as yet for my sites.. but I know that building links from the
major video sites is a good thing to do as well.
- · Once you have done that you move onto the articles tab.
- · It is time to input what content you want to use on the web properties that
EVO2 is going to create for you.
- · You can either use your own content, or content that EVO2 finds for you based
on keywords that you input.
- · I have only ever used the Get Articles option.. as I have seen only good results
from this, and I hate doing more work then I need to.
- · You can enter your own articles, and if you want to do this.. I would suggest
that you use the article that you have created for the home page of your blog.
- · Once you have done that you can move onto the next step.
- · In this part of the wizard you have to enter the information that EVO will use
when it creates profiles on high page rankings websites for you.
- · Enter some information for you BIO.
- · Then your main keyword, and two of the other keywords you want to rank for
as well.. Plus your url… and you are done.
- · In the last step of the wizard you just need to select the modules you want to
use.
- · In my case, as I never use my own articles I do not use the articles module.. as
EVO2 will not post that content it grabs to the article directories… but in my
opinion it is not that important.
- · Then you will be prompted to save your job.. and then click the start job
button.
- · That whole process would have taken you about 3 minutes to complete.. and
from that point forward… you do not have to do anything.
- · So with EVO2 you only really need to do a complete run with it for every blog
once a week.
- · All you really need to do is monitor how the your blogs rankings are going and
see if you need to do more runs with the software or not. If you are happy
with your serps then just motor them and do more runs with the tools in this
module when you need to.
- · Make sure that you update your blog management spreadsheet after you
complete your run with EVO 2.
- · That is the exact submission process that I use for all my blogs.
- · I check my SERPS ( search engine rankings pages ) every few days to see where
I am ranking.
- · I then make a decision whether I should do another submission or not.
- · You do not have to do a submission daily. You can go weeks without any link
building as the amount of links we have just built is like pulling out a
sledgehammer.

MODULE 5
Blog Flipping
Module 5 Intro –
- · Module 5 is all about flipping your blogs for insane profits. We will talk about
why you should flip and where you should flip your blogs as well.
PART 2 –
- · Flipping blogs is a great source of income when you are starting out with
blogs.
- · I used to flip blogs when I first started, but as your network grows and your
sites become quite profitable, you might not flip that many sites. At least that
is what has happened with me.
- · I still flip blogs, but I only flip profitable blogs as they generate the most ROI
and can generate decent pay days as well.
- · Once your blogs are making money, their worth increases dramatically and
each blog becomes an asset.
- · I still like to flip blogs as it is a stable part of my income and I know what my
sites are worth.
- · I sell my sites at only one place Flippa.com
- · There are a ton of people here with money to spend on profitable sites.
- · You could build profitable sites with this system, and sell them as your
business model. You would not run out of buyers on Flippa.com if you sold
profitable sites on there.
PART 3 –
- · If you want to sell one of your blogs, use the listing template that we provide
- · It is the exact listing we use for all our sales, and it converts very quickly.
- · We are listing tweetadderdeal.com ( now sold ) with the listing template you
are also provided.
- · You want to provide as much information about the site as you can.
- · We have broken down the listing into major selling points. ( refer to listing
template )
- · We also provide proof of earnings & traffic.
- · We throw in the twitter profile as a bonus, and all the bonuses that are given
away with on the site as well.
- · The more that you can provide in the sale, the higher the chance that the
person who look to buy the site, will get excited and make the purchase.
PART 4 –
- · The proof is in the pudding… see the results below….
- · This site for this amount because it was ranking for all its major keywords, it
was converting and was very very profitable as well.
- · If you want to sell sites, using our listing template will help more then you
think.
- · If I decided to hold onto this site, in a few short months this site would have
been worth in excess of $15,0000
- · the longer you can hold onto your blogs, the more they will be worth.
- · As I mentioned earlier, you will never run out of buyers if you are selling
profitable sites.
MODULE 6
Blog Management & Business Growth
Module 6 Intro –
- · Module 6 is all about how to manage your ever growing blog empires.
- · We also go through how I manage all commission, costs and marketing tasks
as well.
PART 2 –
- · There are certain tasks that I feel that are important to helping you manage
your ever growing blog empire.
- · If you do not do this, I feel that you will not be able to keep a track of what
your sales are doing, and how profitable your blogs are.
- · Throughout the course I have talked about the blog management
spreadsheet. This spreadsheet is used when a new blog is added to the
network.
- · Every blog has their own tab in this spreadsheet as well.
- · I make sure when I am doing marketing submissions, I update the spreadsheet
as I go, otherwise I do not remember when I have made certain submissions
with certain tools.
- · Having a tab for each blog allows me to keep a track of all the keywords I am
targeting for each blogs.
- · On each of the blog tabs, I also list as much information about each affiliate
program as I can.. So I know when I am going to be paid, what my affiliate
login details are etc..
- · I also keep a track of all my revenue and costs from a single spreadsheet.
- · I update this from one spreadsheet, that you can download in resources &
downloads section.
- · I update this spreadsheet on a weekly basis, and I update with the
commissions that is earned from all the blogs that I am running.
- · I also update it with the commission paid as well.
- · The spreadsheet allows me to see in an overview what my business is doing,
and how profitable each of my sites are.
- · You can do what you wish with this template, it is what I use and it works very
well for me.
- · The last thing I do to manage all my blogs, is to decide when to make more
marketing submissions.
- · I use a tool called Rank Checker from SEO Book.
- · It is a free tool that allows you to save pre-sets of keywords, and allows you to
check rankings from multiple search engines.
- · I check rankings from my blogs every few days, to see how things are getting
on. If I am not happy with how my blogs are ranking, I will perform a
marketing submission only then.
- · I hate work, and if I do not have to make a submission then I will not.
PART 3 –
- · If you want to fast track your success with blogs, then outsourcing can be for
you.
- · Once you start to manage a large number of blogs, the tasks that you need to
perform can be a little mundane.
- · You can easily outsource the process, probably apart from niche research.
- · Once you have been online for a while, your time become more valuable to
work on other projects then to perform the routine tasks that are needed to
be done to maintain your blogs rankings and to keep growing your income.
- · The great thing is that you can hire a full time assistant for as little as $2 per
hour.
- · There are few places there you can find staff.
- · Digital Point – Buy Sell Section. You can advertise there.. or reply to one of the
many threads about virtual assistants.
- · Warrior Forum – Buy Sell Section. You can advertise there.. or reply to one of
the many threads about virtual assistants.
- · Elance.com – You can post a job for free, and freelancers will bid on your
position.
- · GetaFreelancer – The same as Elance, where you post what you want done,
and freelancers bid on your job.
Odesk.com – Another freelancing website where you can post what you are looking
for and freelancers post on your job.
- · Outsourcing is a great way to free up your time to focus on other things, whilst
you know that your blogs are being built, marketed and maintained.
- · Do not rush into working with anyone, and start off small to see if the
outsourcer is actually any good.
- · There are too many dodgy operators online, but do not let this put you off. If
you take your time and start slowly then you will find someone that is honest,
reliable and will get the work done for you.
- · I would suggest you learn the system yourself first before you outsource is.
- And good luck guys!!! I hope, I helped you
