Auto-Blog Domination System

Auto-Blog Domination System

Introduction
Welcome to Auto-Blog Domination System. This is a comprehensive guide
on how to really make the most money with auto-blogs. This is going to be
different from other guides that claim to teach you how to create auto-blogs, or
blogs that simply write themselves and make you money. The truth is, that
despite the ‘Auto’ part in the name, work is involved in setting them up correctly.
In this report, I'm going to show you the exact way to unlock all the
potential.
What Is An Auto-Blog?
If you're wondering exactly what is an auto-blog, these are blogs that
update by themselves. You can say that in a way, they can potentially write
themselves without you having to touch them at all. This is done by activating
certain plugins, which create content for your blog. This is done by grabbing the
content from RSS feeds from article directories or Yahoo answers.
These auto-blogs are a good solution if you do not want to spend time and
effort updating a normal blog, and writing all the unique content for it. This is a
hands-free affair, and will provide you a good stream of income if you use them
in the way I've outlined in this report. I'll also explain in-depth about setting these
blogs up and how they work in a later section.
In terms of setting up an auto-blog, I'm going to go over everything that's
involved. This includes hosting, registering a domain, choosing a niche, installing
the blog platform, and installing and using the right plug-ins. So nothing will be
left out. I’m also going to be teaching you how to get these aspects done by
others, so you don’t have to waste your time doing it yourself.
How This Will Be Different From Other Reports
What makes this report different fromothers is that I'm going to teach you
how to make this process totally automated. This means that for every step that's
required, I'm going to show you how you can have the step completed without
having to do any of the groundwork yourself!
Rather than letting you win for the short-term, I’ll be giving you the bigger
picture. In this report, I’m going to show you:
· How to plan for a long-term business model.
· How to eliminate the headaches involved with setting them up yourself, by
outsourcing a team of workers to work for you.
· The exit strategy everyone should have.
· The right way to promote your site without blogfarms, or confusing links.
For the type of auto-blogs I recommend setting up, they are going to be
monetized with mostly CPA offers. You can also use Adsense or Amazon affiliate
if that's your preference. But I find CPA offers the easiest type of monetization to
work with when it comes to auto-blogs. I will go over this in-depth in a later
section of this report.
Because auto-blogs are pretty much hands free and automatic, they are a
powerful way to keep building your passive income. If you use the techniques
contained in this report including the value building areas, you will sure be on
your way to making even up to $500 - $1,000 on certain days with this business
model:
I’m going to be honest and say that it will take some effort from you or
others' behalf to reach this point. Initially you should have a lower goal and work
your way up.
Later, I will even take things further by showing you how you can build
your own empire by scaling this system. This way, you will have more and more
auto-blogs working for you. Once again, the best part of this is that I will show
you how this can be done with barely any work on your part. This will be mostly
hands free as long as you're willing to pay a few very minimal costs.
Not only that, but I will show you exactly that to do with these auto-blogs to
hit a home run and make big profits with them. Other guides do not mention this,
but I truly believe this is the best way to make big money with these blogs.
And once again, this will take only minimal work on your part. This process
will be 95% hands free if you're willing to pay a few minimal costs.
Now that you have an idea of what this system is all about, let's move onto
the process.
The Big Picture
As mentioned, the idea behind building your auto-blog empire is to make
sure that it isn’t a short-term investment. With the labor and costs that you want
to put into building your auto-blog, you want things to pay off much more than
what you put in.
That’s why I highly recommend that you do the following to make your
auto-blog business last for the long-term. If you enter this without a clear
business model, then even though you’ll make money, there’s no telling how long
this will last. Treat your auto-blogs like a business and you’ll be more secure for
growth.
Here’s The Main Plan
Now here’s how you basically want your main business model to look like:
1. Determine Your Income Goal Versus Expected Profit/Blog.
2. Outsource To build the desired number of auto-blogs.
3. Profit from the site for 2-4 months at most.
4. Dump or flip the site at it’s peak.
5. Repeat the process for long-term.
These 5 steps may seem simple, but they makes a world of a difference to
your business. Generally, a big majority of people get stuck on spending too
much time building a site only to face the wrath of the engines at a later date.
This is short-sighted and never the way to go.
Instead, rather than even doing the work yourself, once you’ve made
some money you should directly funnel this back into growing a few workers to
assist you in making these sites. Once they are done with the proper promotional
steps taken, you’ll be making money once the site is up. Now the other area that
people get lost in is that they expect their site to be around forever. In some
cases (there are a lot of factors) this may be true.
But, you are taking a risk with your site. You don’t want all of your hard
work to go to waste. Depending on how conservative you are, you should aim to
profit from your site for about 2-4 months. Even up to 6 months if you’re confident
that your site will be around. Once this is done, you’ll want to immediately flip
these site before or during it’s top traffic/income level. This way, it looks the most
attractive to your buyer when you sell it off.
Yes, the best exit strategy isn’t to just wait for your site to die off. Instead,
you want to flip them off to buyer for the aimed profit level. Overall, you’ll be
building a much more safe exit strategy for yourself.
Determine If You Plan To Outsource And Budget
Now I highly recommend that you go and do the outsource route. This is
what works for me, and I’ll be talking about this more on the next chapter. This is
after all, a number’s game. To make sure you do the least amount of work
necessary for the best profit, outsourcing your auto-blogs is the best way to go to
build your empire in mass.
I do only recommend that you scale this process at your own pace, and
already have a decent income from your sites though. Once you’ve done that,
you’ll want to plan your budget accordingly, to the work that’s needed. Perhaps
you want to only outsource the tedious tasks for now?
Either way, determine how much you’re making, and whether the
outsourcing cost will be profitable to you in the long-run.
Automate The Auto-Blog Business
Auto-blogging itself is automated enough already since the blogs can write
themselves. However, the setup and scale is where the real workload is. The
trick to making this process insanely profitable is to leverage off of others to mass
scale your empire. So if you want to build a real business off of auto-blogging,
you need to sell the auto-blogs rather than hold them. This is why you want to
consider automating your business, to help you expand your business and make
things easier for you.
In each of the later chapters, I’ll be revealing the exact templates and
steps that you can use get others to do for you cheaply. These will be under the
“How To Automate This” section. This will only help your business grow further if
you want to mass scale your business. Remember, depending on your income
goals it’s really just a numbers game.
I suggest doing so only when you have a sufficient starting budget, or
you're already making consistent income from your auto-blogging efforts. But the
investment is well worth it, because it helps you save time and make more profit
in the long run.
Here are a few of the best places to find quality freelancers you can hire:
Getafreelancer
This is a good site where you can find a lot of freelancers willing to do
work at affordable prices. There's a number good web designers here that
provide quality work Just make sure the freelancer has good reviews and
feedback on previous work that he/she has done.
Guru
This is place to go with if you want to hire the very best freelancers. The
costs can be high compared to other places like Odesk and Getafreelancer. But
you're verylikely to be satisfied with the quality of the work. They also have a
good ranking system so you can know quickly how much skill a freelancer has.
Elance
This the best site to find top-notch freelancers. They do request high bids,
but the quality of work is unmatched. I suggest using freelancers here if you need
something major such as getting unique template for an auto-blog.
Odesk
Like Getafreelancer, this is also a good place to find good freelancers at
bargain prices. They also have a system where you can have freelancerswork on
a hourly basis rather than per project. This is a good place to go to if you need
someone who can provide you constant work for the long term.
You can also find good freelancers for hire at Warriorforum and
Digialtpoint:

1. Planning Your Domination: Choosing The Right Niche
To Attack
The first step of setting up an auto-blog is to first choose a niche, or topic
that your blog is going to be based on. This step is essential because you want to
build a blog around a niche that's profitable, and will have keywords that are
getting enough search volume. This is because you're going to setup your blog
so that it targets the right keywords, and is going to get ranked highly for them.
So before you start building your blog, you want to make sure you choose
a niche that is getting has enough interest in it. This means that for keywords
related to that niche, they have to have enough volume of searches. Some
keywords will have very high volumes but will be too competitive to get good
rankings for. I will show you how to target the right keywords that has enough
search volume, but will not be too hard to get top rankings.
Google Trends
One tool that I highly recommend for research using is Google Trends.
Google Trends shows you the 50 most popular keywords that people are
currently searching for on Google. These keywords should give you an idea of
what topics are popular right now, and are likely to have users searching for
information about the topic on Google and other search engine.
As you can see, the 5th most popular keyword is “obama peace prize for
what”. Obama still seems like a popular topic even today. Now there are some
people who may not agree that Obama deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, but I'm
sure that are many who believe that he deserves it.
Yahoo Buzzlist
Another great niche research tool is Yahoo Buzzlist:
This shows you the top current headlines/articles on Yahoo news. As you
can see, the top two articles relate to Obama. In fact, one article is on why
Obama deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.
Google’s Wonder Wheel Tool
This tool is fairly recent, and it’s one of my secret weapons to finding the
best type of related topics for your blog. If you go to Google’s main site and click
on the “Show Options” tab, then you’ll see something like this:
Simply just enter a search term like “Obama” and you’ll get a ton of related terms
or topics to build your sites around. This is a fairly smart tool you can use if
you’re in a pinch to find hot topics and even related keywords on.
Google External Keyword Tool
It seems Obama is still a good topic to base a blog on. Let's look into this
topic and see which keywords our auto-blog can rank for. We're going to use the
Google External Keyword Tool for this:
Simply just enter a search term like “Obama” and you’ll get a ton of related terms
or topics to build your sites around. This is a fairly smart tool you can use if
you’re in a pinch to find hot topics and even related keywords on.
Google External Keyword Tool
It seems Obama is still a good topic to base a blog on. Let's look into this
topic and see which keywords our auto-blog can rank for. We're going to use the
Google External Keyword Tool for this:
As you can see, there's only 29,900 results ranking for the phrase “obama
plates”. Any keyword phrase with 65,000 results or less is not too hard to get top
rankings for.
Keyword Difficulty Check Tool
You can confirm SEO difficulty with the Keyword Difficulty Check Tool by
SEO Log:
This tool is usually accurate in predicting the difficulty for ranking a
keyword. All you have to do is type the keyword into the tool to see its difficulty.
As you can see, the keyword “obama plates” has a difficulty of 45 out of 100.
This means that it's not difficult at all to get top rankings for this keyword. Any
keyword with difficulty of 70 out of 100 or lower is worth pursuing.
You want to keep doing this process until you find 6-8 more keywords that
meet the criteria suggested in the above instructions. You want to keep a list of
these keywords because they are what your content on your blog is going to be
about. The content will get you ranked for those keywords. Here's an example list
of other keywords I would pursue if I have an auto-blog on Obama:
1. "obama volunteer"
14,800 monthly search volume
55,400 search results
54 out of 100 difficulty
2. "obama calendar"
12,100 monthly search volume
17,300 search results
66 out of 100 difficulty
3. "obama changes"
14,800 monthly search volume
47,400 search results
66 out of 100 difficulty
4. “obama doll”
18,100 monthly search volume
16,700 search results
51 out of 100 difficulty
5. “obama games”
22,200 monthly search volume
12,600 search results
66 out of 100 difficulty
I will show you later on exactly how you can configure your blog and the
plugins to get. These will help you achieve good rankings for your selected
keywords.
*****How To Automate This Step******
As mentioned, at the end of each step, there will be a section on how to
get this automated. This is the first of them. Keyword research is fairly easy to
do, but you might want to consider outsourcing this step if you plan on setting up
auto-blogs in bulk. I suggest picking the topics for your blogs yourself using
Google Trends and Yahoo Buzzlist. Then you have the freelancer do the
keyword research and look for related keywords. You want keyword statistics
such as:
Monthly Search Volume
Number of SEO Competitors
SEO Difficulty Based On SEO Tool
Top 5 URLs in search engine for that keyword
Then you want the freelancer to highlight or bold any keyword that has
high monthly search volume, but is not difficult to rank for. Then based on the
research, you can decide which keyword to target.
The cost for a keyword research project should cost about $20-$50.
Anything more than $50 is not worth it, unless you get this done in bulk for more
than one niche (more than 20 blog’s worth of research). Yes prices can really be
this low if you hire to from the right sources.
Here's an template you can use if you decide to automate this step:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
I'm looking for someone who will do keyword research. I'm trying to find
keywords to target and get top rankings for my blog. I'm looking for keywords
with more than 5,000 monthly searches, but less than 65,000 search results
when you type that keyword phrase into Google with quotes round it.
I want someone to find me all related keywords along with the related statistics in
an organized Excel sheet. These statistics include:
Monthly Search Volume
Number of SEO Competitors
SEO Difficulty Based On This SEO Tool
(http://www.seologs.com/keyword-difficulty.html)
Top 5 URLs in search engine for that keyword
I want you to bold or highlight any keyword meeting my criteria. If you have any
prior work experience in doing this type of work, please let me know.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Regards,
(Your Name)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Setting Up Your Auto-Blogging Weapon
Now that we're done with the niche research, let's move onto setting up
the blog and configuring it. Again this can be outsourced if you wanted.
Hosting
The first step to having an auto-blog is to get web hosting if you don't have
one already. Web hosting is essential if you plan on owning any sort of website.
A web host basically host files for you on the web so that it is displayed when
others go to a domain you own.
For web hosting, I recommend using Hostgator:
I suggest getting their “Baby” hosting package, which allows you to host
unlimited domains for $7.95 per month. This is a great deal in my opinion.
Once you have web hosting already, you want to move onto registering a
domain.
Domain Registration
When registering a domain for your auto-blog, you want to keep it as
keyword rich as possible. Try to name it in a way that targets one of the keyword
out of your list that gets the most monthly searches. For example, I would try to
register:
www.obamagames.com
If that's taken, I would try to register the domain with dashes in between
the words. For example:
www.obama-games.com
If both keywords are taken, I would try to do the same with the next
keyword on my list until I find one that's not registered. I would personally stick
to .com domains only because I believe those are the only domain types that are
worth it. But if you have to, you can register a .net domain. All the other types of
domains are not worth it.
The best paces to register a domain are:
www.godaddy.com
http://www.namecheap.com/
Most domain names are only around $10 to register, unless they are
premium (I don't suggest paying the huge prices for these). After registering, you
want to change the nameservers of your hosting account. You should've gotten
your nameservers right after you set up your web hosting account. Most
nameservers look like this:
ns101.hostgator.com
ns102.hostgator.com
Here's an example of which section of a Godaddy account you go to for
changing namerservers.
If both keywords are taken, I would try to do the same with the next
keyword on my list until I find one that's not registered. I would personally stick
to .com domains only because I believe those are the only domain types that are
worth it. But if you have to, you can register a .net domain. All the other types of
domains are not worth it.

Here's an example of which section of a Godaddy account you go to for
changing namerservers.
http://wordpress.org/download/
Wordpress has a detailed guide for manually installing Wordpress via FTP
here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress
Configuring Wordpress
After Wordpress is installed, you're ready to login to the admin area and
configure the theme and plugins. If you've installed Wordpress via Fantastico or
manual installation, you would have created a administrator username and
password. Use the username and password to login to the admin area.
The admin are can be accessed by adding /wp-admin to the end of your
domain. For example: www.obama-games.com/wp-admin.
The first thing you should do is change the default theme to a theme that's
more attractive. You can change the theme in your admin area under
“Appearance” and “Themes”:
To get more themes, you have to download the theme's files and upload
them to your “themes” folder on your domain via ftp. When you login to the
“Appearance” area, you should be able to see the theme and select it to make it
the theme of your blog.
Here are a few places to download more Wordpress themes for your blog:
http://wordpressthemesbase.com/
http://topwpthemes.com /
http://www.themes2wp.com /
After changing the theme, the next thing you want to do is change the
general setting by clicking on the “Settings” tab on the lower left of your admin
area. You should then type in the title of your blog into Blog Title. It should be
something related to your niche or topic. For example: “Obama Games”. Next,
you want to add a little description of your blog in the “Tagline”. These two are
the only settings I suggest changing, all the other settings can be left as default,
which I highly suggest doing so.
After changing the “General” settings, you want to change the “Writing”
settings. The only setting you want to change is the “Updates Services” option:
Right now, it only shows this URL:
http://rpc.pingomatic.com/
You want more URLs to ping to every time you have a new blog post. By
doing this, you get more exposure by letting more people know whenever a new
post is made on your blog.
Here's a complete list of URLs to add:

Then you want to change the “Reading” settings:
For “Front Page Displays”, you want to leave it to display your latest posts.
This is the best setting to use to help get high rankings for your blog. I would then
set the blog pages to show at most 20 posts, since then it will show a good
amount of content to search engines.
Syndication feeds are what allows other blogs and sites to display your
posts using RSS (Real Simple Syndication) feeds. Also others can subscribe to
your blog and receive updated content from your blog using their own RSS
reading programs. Personally I suggest leaving it to display 10 posts.
In the “For each article in a feed show” section, I would make it display
summary. This is the best setting, because when other blogs and sites display
your content in their RSS feed, you don't want them to display the full text of your
content. If this happened, that's considered duplicate content and will make it
more difficult for you to get higher search engine rankings. So that's why
summary is the best setting for it.
The next settings you want to change is “Discussion” settings:
Under “Default Article Settings”, there's three options:
1. Attempt to notify any blogs linked to from the article (slows down
posting.)
- You want to leave this option on to notify other blogs whenever you link to them.
This way, they know that you linked to them, and they will probably link back to
you.
2. Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks.)
- You want to turn this off since it can be abused by people who want to spam
your blog.
3. Allow people to post comments on the article
- You want to turn this on because comments add to your content. You can
always delete any comments that you don't like.
For all other settings on the page, I leave them as default. You do want
your blog to notify you of new comments so you can approve of them. I
personally do not care about avatars so I just choose not to display them.
For “Privacy” settings, always leave it as default so that search engines
can find your blog. This is critical for ranking for your keywords.
The next set of settings that require changes are the Permalinks:
You want to select the “Month And Name” section. On the “Custom
Structure” field, you want to have the following tag there:
/%postname%.html
Make sure it looks exactly like it is above. This will make your blog a lot
more search engine friendly. Go “Save Changes” and you are done with setting
and configuring your Wordpress blog.
Plugins:
Plugins are small little programs that you can upload to your “plugins”
folder inside the domain of your blog. To activate, you simply go to your Plugins
screen, where you should see options to activate them or deactivate them.
Here are the plug-ins you need to activate for your auto-blog:
1. Aksimet- This plugin already comes with the Wordpress installation, so you
don't have to find it and install it. When you activate this plug-in, you must
configure it by applying for your API key, and putting it into the plugin. This can
be done at this screen:
Click on update options after putting in your API key and you are done.
2. All In One SEO Pack- This plugin will do all the SEO work for all your blog
posts. For Home Title, type in the main keyword you want to rank for (usually the
keyword with most monthly searches). For Home Description, add a description
of your blog that includes some of the main keywords you want to rank for. Then
onto Home Keywords, enter all the keywords you're trying to rank for.
3. StatTraq- Once activated, this plugin will give you all the traffic stats for your
blog. It will tell you how much unique visitors you're getting, where they come
from (search engines or links from other sites). Also it will tell you which
keywords are visitors putting into search engines to get to your site. I would leave
the settings the way they are, there's really nothing that should be changed.
4. Privacy Policy- Once activated, this will create a privacy policy page for you.
This will make your blog look very complete in the eyes of Google, and give you
a better chance of high rankings. Just click on “Create Page” and the privacy
policy page will be created for you.
5. Google XML Sitemap- Once activated, this will create a sitemap for your blog,
as well as submit the site to Google. It can also submit to Yahoo if you want to
rank for those keywords on Yahoo too. All the settings are straightforward and
are fine the way they are, so all you have to do is “Update Options”.
6. Caffienated Content- This plugin costs $77, but it is well worth the investment.
This is the key plugin that will make your auto blog work. Once you've bought
this plugin, you can use it for any blog you plan on having. This plugin is so
simple to work with yet so powerful, it's mind-boggling. Once activated, you go to
the Caffienated Content screen:
You should see a message that says everything is checking out alright.
Also in the same message, you should see a link to get to the management tab.
Click on that link to get to this screen:
In the keywords section, you want to put all the keywords you gathered
from your niche research. In the post source, I always choose “articles” as I think
it's the best way to get content for your blog. For Post Category, I let it stay on
“Computed”, which means that Caffienated Content will automatically make
categories to put the content it generates.
I leave all the other settings as default since they don't really require any
changes. For “Start Date” and “End Date”, you can specify a date range that your
posts will be dated. Each post will have say that it's been posted in random dates
within your date range.
Once all the settings are set, you click on “Go”. Then Caffienated Content
will start posting unique content for your blog. It will take some time depending on
how much content you want it to generate for your blog. This plugin will also
generate comments for you in each of the blog post.
*****How To Automate This Step******
If you don't like dealing with FTP or Cpanel or dealing with sites in general,
then I suggest automating this step. You should register the domain and transfer
the domain to your hosting. Then you give your FTP and Cpanel login to your
freelancer so he/she could do the following:
1. Download and install Wordpress onto your domain.
2. Create MYSQL database and MYSQL if necessary.
3. Download and install the following plugins:
- All In One SEO Pack
- StatTraq
- Privacy Policy
- Google XML sitemap
-Caffienated Content
- Wordpress banner plugin
- Wordpress Adsense Manager
- Amazon Autoposter
4. Configure Wordpress settings and ping list as suggested in this chapter.
5. Choose, download and install an attractive theme.
6. Configure the right settings for all plugins.
This should cost about $50-$60 for this if you hire for a part-time virtual
assistant from the right country (Phillipines). Depending on the person, this can
sometimes yield you around 3-4 blogs. But this will be up to your negotiation.
Make sure you pick someone who's trustworthy and reliable since you are
providing private sensitive information. Always check background and past work
experience before choosing somebody.
Here's a template you can use to automate this step:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
I’m looking for a virtual assistant to help me install wordpress onto a domain,
install plugins, and configure all the settings. You’ll need to have prior experience
with wordpress, and be willing to do this at an affordable rate. However, this will
be for long-term work if you can prove to you that you can provide good work.
If selected, I will provide all the necessary information to carry out these tasks.
Please do let me know if you have any prior related work experience. If you have
any questions, please let me know.

Raising Value
This isn’t recommended if you want to save on budget. But it will raise
your blog’s perceived value . You also might want to consider having a unique
theme designed for your auto-blog. It makes your blog more unique and
attractive at the same time. The costs for this can range in the $30-$40 for a top
design so I don’t recommend that you do this yet.
If you do though, here's a template to use if you decide to go this route:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
I'm looking for someone who can design an unique and attractive Wordpress
template for me. My blog is going to be on (whatever topic you blog is on). I need
a theme that relates to my blog, and captures the visitor's attention at the same
time.
The Wordpress theme must be 100% original. I will own all rights to the theme
once it's finished. If you have experience designing Wordpress themes in the
past, please let me know.
If you have any questions or need me to explain in-depth of what I'm looking for
please let me know.
Regards,
Your Name
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The advantage is that you re-use the unique theme for other auto-blogs
that you create. Thus, it raises the value for each of your blogs since it’s an
exclusive design. Not too shabby.
3. Choosing Your Money Resources
Now it's time to monetize your auto-blog. I recommend three methods for
monetizing your blogs: CPA networks, Adsense, and Amazon affiliate system.
CPA Networks
This is the most recommend way to monetize your blog. In case you don't
know about CPA offers, it stands for Cost-Per-Action. For a lot of these offers,
you are going to be paid for bringing leads rather than sales. In fact, there's CPA
offers that will pay you whenever a user fills out only their most basic contact
information such as:
1. Name
2. Address
3. Phone Number
4. E-mail
Payouts for CPA offers can range from $20-$40. There's also e-mail
submits that pay $1-$2 every time a user submits just their e-mail. As you can
see, CPA offers can be a profitable and easy way to monetize your blog.
To promote these offers, you first have to join a few CPA networks. You're
going to have to fill out an application on their site to join, but in general, it's
relatively easy to join these networks. For the website part of their application,
just show them your blog.
Here a few networks that I recommend joining:
Neverblue:
I found Neverblue an easy network to join and work with. They got a big
variety of offers there, including Obama offers that pay $1.15-$1.30 for every email
submit:
Here are a few other good CPA networks to join:

http://www.ads4dough.com
http://www.affiliate.com
http://www.copeac.com
http://www.revenueloop.com
http://www.xy7.com
How To Promote CPA Offers On Your Blog:
There's two main ways you can promote CPA offers.
1. Banners
This is my most recommended way of promoting CPA offers to your blog.
Download and install this Wordpress banner plugin to display banners on
your blog. Most CPA offers will already have banners for you to use. All you have
to do is take the image files, upload them using your Wordpress banner plugin,
and have them link to your affiliate link. This plugin will allow you to easily display
banners however you want on any part of your blog.
2. Text Links
You can edit your Wordpress post that Caffienated Content generated. To
do this, you manually hyperlink related keywords and have them link to your CPA
offer.
Alternatively, you can have a short paragraph promoting the CPA offer
and linking to them at either the beginning or the end of a post.
Adsense
You should be familiar with Adsense by now. I recommend this if for
some reason you have prefer not to join CPA networks. The basic concept is that
you get paid every time a user on your site clicks on an Adsense ad. The payout
can range from $0.05 - $ 1.50 per click depending on the ad.
This Wordpress Adsense Manager allows you to integrate Adsense easily
to your blog. All you have to do is put in your Adsense plublisher ID (should be
given to you in your Adsense account). Then you configure the settings on how
you want your ads to displayed (background color, horizontal, vertical). Once
that's done, the plugin will display Adsense Ads on all your posts. As you can
see, it's a very easy and straightforward process.
Amazon
Amazon has an affiliate system where you are paid a certain percentage if
customers coming from your blog buy certain items. This is another good way to
monetize your blog. The payout really depends on price of the items offering a
commission.
If you decide to go with Amazon's affiliate system, you want to use
Amazon Autoposter. This plugin once activated will allow you to put in your
Amazon affiliate idea, and display products from Amazon's stores into your blog
posts. It fact, it generates whole posts for you, and also display reviews about the
product right there on your blog.
4. The Ultimate Way To Promote Your Blogs
Optional Linking Strategy
This is one optional way to create your linking structure. The main concept
is to build an auto-blog empire, one that works together by linking to each other.
This builds up Page Rank of each blog, which leads to higher search engine
rankings. Now I’m not going to make this too complicated, and this will be a fairly
simple process if you choose to do it. Remember, I don’t suggst having confusing
link structures at all, so this is a basic way you can use it to build search engine
rankings. This is entirely optional and up to you.
The process in a nutshell is to have 4 domains, and 4 subdomains for
each domain. Each subdomain will be its own blog too, and each one of them will
focus on one keyword that you've gathered from your niche research.
But there is a right way to do it and the wrong way to do it. Not everybody
will be able to do this depending on how much of a budget you have, but if this is
implemented, it can yield very powerful results for you that is well worth the
investment. I'm about to show you exactly how to do it the right way.
1. Register your 4 domains.
In this step, you register your 4 main domains that you're going to use. It's
best that you plan your domains so that the topics of each blog are somehow in
same way related. For example, each of your main blogs can be on topics
regarding politics.
2. Get 4 different hosting providers.
You have to get 4 different hosting providers so that your each of your
domain is hosted by a different host, therefore making each domain get hosted
under different IP. This is important because Google will detect if the sites linking
to your site are under the same IP. Let’s just say that's not going to be good.
The 4 hosting providers I recommend are Hostgator, Bluehost, 2mHost,
and Hostdone.
3. Get 4 sub-domains for each of your main domain you have.
Getting sub-domains can be done through Cpanel, usually under a
domain that says “Domain Management” or “Manage Domains”.
Once again, each sub-domain should be based and named after one on
the keywords received from your niche research.
4. Setup auto-blogs on each domain and sub-domain.
Go through the setup process outlined in this guide for each domain and
sub-domain. Remove any links (such as the blogroll) linking to other sites.
5. Build backlinks for each of your blog.
I find that the easiest way to do this is to submit each blog to web
directories. This can be automated and done easily using Directory Submitter
Pro. It is free and has a big database of directories you can submit to. Do this for
each of your blog.
6. Link to each of the blog you own by using your keywords as anchor text.
This is the step that will get you the most out of this process. This is what
will increase PR and search engine rankings for your blogs.
This is a simple and straightforward process. You want to take one
domain and each of its sub-domain, and link to the other domains and their subdomains.
For example, on Domain 1 on the domain and each sub-domain, you
want to link to Domain 2, Domain 3, and Domain 4 and in addition link to all their
sub-domains. Then you do the same for the other three domains. This might take
a bit of effort, but in my opinion it is well worth it.
I don't suggest trying to do all this at once. You want to try to do this one
step at a time. You want to first get one main domain, and then all the subdomains.
Then you get domain number 2 and all subdomains, then begin
interlinking to each other. Then when you're ready, you can get domain 3 and
subdomains, and do the same. I suggest doing this at your own pace.
*****How To Automate This Step******
If you want to automate this, you basically want to have the freelancer
install Wordpress, choose theme, install plugins, and configure settings for each
domain you have. But once again, do this one at a time at your own pace. Have
the freelancer install Wordpress for one domain at a time per project. I suggest
doing this because doing it all at once will have huge costs. but if a freelancer
has provided good work for installing Wordpress onto one domain, you should
have him/her do it for the rest of your domains.
5. The Real Way To Cash In, Sell your Auto-Blogs For
Highest Bidder
This is the most recommended way to get the most value for your autoblogs.
I highly suggest flipping your auto-blogs, or selling at certain website
marketplaces. Before you begin selling your blog, you want to hold onto your
blog for a little more than a month for it to receive sufficient income and traffic.
You also want to make sure your blog currently has top rankings for the
keywords you were trying to target. This has several advantages as opposed to
holding onto them:
You get instant cash rather than waiting for revenue to come in from
your blogs.
- This means you get paid instantly rather than relying on payment from CPA
networks or Adsense. Both pay mostly by the end of each month for your
previous month's total earnings. Most sites sell for 5-8 times their monthly
revenue. This means when you sell your auto-blog, you should get about the
same amount of money that you would get for just holding onto the blog for 5
months. And this is all in instant cash, you get the money from the moment you
sell the site to a buyer.
You don't have to rely on search engine rankings, which can change
in an instant.
-To make consistent money with your auto-blogs, you need to maintain and
make sure you are at the top positions in the search engines. This is essential
because if this doesn't happen, the traffic will stop coming to your blog. And as
you know, Google can for any reason change their algorithms in an instant,
causing your search rankings to drop dramatically. If you sell your auto-blogs
rather than holding them, you don't have to bother with maintaining high rankings
for months. You're not at the mercy of Google, and you have income coming in at
a faster rate.
You're building a real business.
- There area a lot of site buyers out there interested in owning an automated blog
that already ranks high for good keywords. Once you get to know them, you can
sell them other blogs you have. This way, you build up a loyal list of customers
interested in buying your automated blogs.
How To Sell your Blogs Like A Pro!
Here are the points you want to emphasize in your site description to sell
your blog to the highest bidder:
1. Niche
You want to emphasize that you blog is in a good niche with a lot of
demand. I suggest providing screenshots of keywords related to your niche, as
well as how much monthly search volume they receive. Also, if you're monetizing
your blog with Adsense, you will want to show them stats to give them an idea
how much they can receive when a user clicks on an Adsense ad.
2. Traffic
If you followed my process, you should start receiving a good amount of
traffic to your blog. You want to show this to potential site buyers by going into
showing screenshots of your TrafficStats plug-in page.
3. Search Engine Rankings
You want to show them all the keywords you have top positions for in
Goolge/Yahoo. Screenshots proving your top positions will also help.
4. Domain
You want to emphasize that they get a domain that's short, easy to
remember, and keyword rich. Use Swift Appraisal and see if your domain has
any value. If your domain has a value of $50 or more, you should screenshot it
and put it in your site description.
5. Design/Template
If your template is attractive, it brings up the value of the blog. Also, if you
have a template that's completely unique, you want to mention that because that
also brings up the value of your blog.
6. Wordpress And Plugins Already Installed
You want to mention that you have Wordpress already installed, and all
the plug-ins for SEO, Privacy Policy, and automatic content generation.
Emphasize that the blog is configured to receive a good amount of traffic, and
that the content will be generated automatically so that no work has to be done
by the site buyer. Emphasize that the blog is setup already and that it's plug-in
and play.
7. Bonuses
Offer bonuses such as support, coaching, and free site transfer. Offer to
transfer the site to their server if they prefer. Also provide support and coaching
on how to make the most money out of their new auto-blog.
Depending mostly on traffic and revenue, each auto-blog should sell for
$100-$500. Now if you followed my process of interlinking blogs for higher ranks,
you can sell the whole blog network for over $2,000, once again depending on
overall traffic and revenue.
Best Marketplaces To Sell Your Auto-Blog
After creating a site description emphasizing the right points, it's now time
to time to list you site for auction. Here are the best places to do so:
Flippa.com- This is branched off of Sitepoint.com. Sitepoint used to have a forum
for selling sites. Now there's a whole entire separate site for those who want to
buy and sell websites. This marketplace is mainly for selling high quality sites
due to the fact that the listing fee is $20. But it is well worth it if you have good
auto-blog receiving a large amount of traffic.
There's a lot of good site buyers there willing to pay a good amount of high
quality sites.
Ebay- Ebay has a section where you can auction off websites. In my opinion, it's
not the best place to auction off your auto-blog. But if you can't find a buyer
anywhere else, you're sure to find a buyer here. I only recommend using Ebay as
the last resort.
Digital Point- This is the marketplace I recommend on using to sell most of your
auto-blogs. There's a lot of site buyers there, and a lot of them are interested in
owning an automated site with a lot of traffic coming in already. They're also
willing to pay a good price for them too.
Have A List Of Auto-Blogs Buyers
I highly suggest you build a list of buyers so that you know who's
interested in buying automated blog. A good way to do this is to have a separate
site explaining that you're in the business of selling blogs, and have an opt-in
form form on that site.
This form is to let buyers know whenever you have a new auto-blog for
sale. So every time you sell an auto-blog, you should point them to your site so
that they're likely to opt-in to your list.
Transferring Auto-Blog To Buyer
You can do transfer the blog for your buyer, or you can give a detailed
guide/instructions for doing it themselves. First thing you want to do is change
the namervers of the domain to match the nameservers of whatever host that
your buyer uses. You have to ask the buyer for the right nameservers. Once this
is done, you transfer ownership of the domain to the buyer.
1. Downloading The Files
Use FTP to go into your domain of the blog you're trying to sell. Download
all files. Create a folder and name it 1_database.
2. Back Up The Database
Go into your Cpanel and go to the section that says “MYSQL” databases.
Select the database that Wordpress is installed on for the site you're selling.
Take note of the name of database and admin ID. Go To PHP My Admin. Select
the database you want to back up, go to the export column, and select all. Then
select SQL and click on “Save As File”, and save the files onto the 1_database
folder.
3. Moving The Blog
Get your buyer's Cpanel login if you're moving the site for him/her. Go to
MYSQL databases, and create a database with same username and password
you used for your database. Give full privileges to that username.
4. Importing Databases
Go to buyer's PHP myadmin, locate the database you just created, and
use the import function to upload the sql file download from earlier. Tell your
buyer that if he/she wants to change the admin details for the database, he/she
will need to edit the wp-config.php file and upload it via FTP to the domain.
*****How To Automate This Step******
To automate this step you want to outsource the site description for selling
your auto-blog. You want to give your freelancer the main idea of what your blog
is on so that he/she can give you a template for the site description. Also tell
him/her to emphasize these features in the description:
1. Unique Niche
2. Good Amount Of Traffic
3. Top Rankings for Keywords
4. Unique And Memorable Domain Name
5. Attractive Theme
6. Wordpress and Plugins Installed Already
7. After Purchase Support
This shouldn't cost much at all and it shoud be around $40-$95. You do
want to make sure you hire someone with copywriting experience, so be sure to
check for past copywriting work your freelancer has done. Here's a template you
can use to automate this step:
Hi,
I'm looking for someone to help me write a site description template I can use to
auction off my blog. My blog is on (insert topic of your blog), and is an automatic
blog with a plug-in that generates unique content.
Here are the main points I want emphasized in the site description:
1. Unique Niche
2. Good Amount Of Traffic
3. Top Rankings for Keywords
4. Unique And Memorable Domain Name
5. Attractive Theme
6. Wordpress and Plugins Installed Already
7. After Purchase Support
If you have any prior copywriting experience, please let me know. Also please
show me samples of your past copywriting work. The text must be formatted and
written in language that is easy to read and understand, and please to the eye at
the same time. It should also capture the reader's attention.
If you need me to provide more details about this to help you write the site
description, please let me know.
Regards,
Your Name
You might also want to consider outsourcing transferring of site to buyer
after an auto-blog is sold. This can be done relatively cheap $20-$65 per site
transfer. Just make sure your freelancer is familiar with transferring a site. Here's
a template you can use to automate this process:
Hi,
I'm looking for someone to help me transfer ownership of a Wordpress site I own
to another owner. This involves downloading all the necessary files from the
domain, backing up the wordpress database and saving it as a sql file, then
importing the database with the new owner's Cpanel. Then upload the files via
FTP to the new owner's domain.
If selected, I'll provide all the necessary information to carry out this task.
This is a relatively simple job, so I'm looking for someone who's affordable, yet
reliable enough to get the job done on time. If yo have experience with site
transfers, please let me know.
Regards,
Your Name
Before you do this, you want to change nameservers of your domain to
your buyer's nameserver.
6. Conclusion
By now, you should have a good idea of what it takes to make money from
your auto-blogs. As you can see, they're relatively easy to setup. Yet if they're
used correctly, they can can receive large amounts of traffic with very little effort.
As long as you monetize these blogs, each auto-blog will only make your passive
income grow bigger and bigger.
You should also know by now that the real value of auto-logs is to use
them to build your own business. This can be done by automating the main steps
through outsourcing, and then selling the blogs to potential site buyers. This
allows you to make large amounts quick cash without getting your hands dirty.
You may have thought about owning a blog before but felt that it would be
a pain to create the content for it. Hopefully, this report has shown you that it's
entirely possible to have a blog that runs itself, and writes its own content. I do
want to point out that blogs are popular right now due to its Web 2.0
characteristics (or their social factor). More and more people are looking into
owning their own blogs, therefore creating a bigger market for people looking to
own a blog without them having to setup from scratch.
Luckily for you you are well-equipped for this situation, because you now
know how to profit from this new demand. Now all there's left to do is take action,
and start selling your auto-blogs to the highest bidder.

Article Writing Secrets

Introduction
Writing articles to make money. It’s one of
the hottest topics on the internet. And
it’s true, articles are an awesome and easy
way to make money online.
Some folks feel intimidated about the
thought of putting pen to paper, but I’m
going to tell you about some easy ways to
write quality articles. You’ll be cranking
them out in no time.
What good are articles? Well, with them you
can…
• generate free traffic to your website
(where you’re selling something)
• send traffic to websites you are
promoting as an affiliate (via your link,
of course!)
• provide quality content on a basic
adsense site
• use several of them to quickly create
your own e-books and sell them on their
own mini sites, or even sell resell
rights to these e-books.
Turning Your Articles into
Income
When folks are curled up in bed with your
book, you have some literary license. You
can talk about scenery and feelings and pave
the way for character development.
But when people are reading on the internet,
they’re wanting fast facts. They don’t want
additional fluff. Easy to understand
information. That’s the goal.
When you want to learn something, you want
to learn it as quickly as possible.
Everyone looks for a shortcut so they can
start applying what they’ve learned. That’s
why you want to be brief and to the point in
your articles for the web.
The Fastest And Easiest Way
To Write Great Articles
Now, with as many tip websites as there are
and as many online forums, there’s no need
to come up with all the content off the top
of your head.
Now here’s something vitally important – you
must never take another person’s words for
your article. Not one sentence. Not one
phrase. It’s illegal and can get you
jailed.
But you can certainly learn from their
content and write your own article. Find
three or four articles on your topic, read
them carefully, and write your own article
in your own words based on what you’ve just
learned.
Where To Find Good Info
If I wanted to write an article on
“unschooling”, I’d search Google for
“unschooling forums” or “unschooling
discussion boards”.
All I then do is look for what folks are
talking about, read their responses and use
them to help write my own article.
If you find a great info-product on
Clickbank for gardeners, do a search for
garden forums. See what kinds of questions
folks are asking and write an article to
answer.
You can also find Frequently Asked Questions
at FAQ.org and Groups.google.com.
Remember, you’re keeping your article short
and to the point. Use helpful tips
throughout.
I remember one article I read about
searching for a fitness club. One of the
tips went like this. “In order to find the
best fitness club for you, you must go out
and look for one.”
Well, duh! For crying out loud, that’s
idiotic. Of course you have to look for
one. That’s a piece of totally useless
information.
Steer clear of stating the very obvious.
Give unique, helpful suggestions. That’s
what your readers want.
Writing Your Article Title
Like a headline, this is what gets folks to
decide to read your article or pass it by.
People want articles with helpful tips they
can use immediately. Your title must convey
what you’re offering in your article.
“Reaching Your Goal” – kind of boring
“Making It” – too abstract, this could be a
title for baking cakes or any number of
things
““7 Proven Steps to Reaching Any Goal That
You Can Implement Right Now!”” – much better
You can use personal anecdotes in your
article. These add flavor and help hold
your reader’s interest. People love a story!
Editing Your Article
Any professional writer will tell you how
difficult it is to proof your own work.
Because you know in your head exactly what
the page is supposed to say, it’s easy for
your brain to skip over little errors.
You can read your article aloud to help
check for flow. But also have another pair
of eyes look over your work and see if the
article makes complete sense.
Don’t forget to check for spelling errors.
Too many of these and your article will
likely not be accepted/published.

Articles and Adsense
Adsense is definitely the talk of the town.
It’s been the impetus behind automatic
website generators and portal sites galore.
Right now, many marketers are leaning in the
direction of providing valuable content
(your articles) on their adsense pages.
The thought is, no search engine in their
right mind would ban or delete a valuable
content site.
Put your adsense boxes on every page of your
content site.
When it comes to Adsense, you have to think
like your website visitor. What is it they
are looking to buy? Don’t stick something on
your site about “making money with your
gardening passion” because the advertisers
with Adsense are selling garden tools and
equipment, not money making opportunities.
You need to make your content fit into the
Adsense ads for the best results.
Now, write articles! 10, 20, 50 – keep
writing and promoting your content site.
Advertise your website in the resource box.
For example
"For a complete checklist on the best shade
loving plants, visit slp.com"
By following this format, you should make
money from Google Adsense fairly quickly.
Plus you’re building tons of quality content
over time and you will have hundreds of
articles all over the Internet working for
you around the clock! That means your site
will do better in the search engines due to
all the incoming links!
This is one of those money machines that
will make you money on demand pretty much
for the life of the Internet.
Using Articles To Profit From
Affiliate Programs
You don’t even need a website!
To combine articles and affiliate programs,
all you have to do is create a free
autoresponder series, then advertise it
directly with ezines, etc.
Select 3 Affiliate Programs
To make this work and not be a one hit
wonder, you will need to select THREE
affiliate programs to join. The criteria to
selecting these programs are a little
different than going out and selecting the
affiliate program with the biggest
commission, even though this does play a
role.
Of course, all the affiliate programs you
promote will have to be on the one subject.
For instance, say your first affiliate
program is an ebook on Mini Sites, then your
second affiliate program you sell could be a
members only site based on Mini Sites and
your third affiliate program could be a
service where someone creates a network of
Mini Sites for your customers.
The first affiliate program you promote will
be one which pays a larger than normal
commission on the first sale. Do not accept
anything less than 40% commission for your
first affiliate program. The reason for this
is because we want to make a profit on the
first affiliate program. By selling any
product that does not make you at least $20
per sale, you will not profit straight away.
The main aim of this is to really build up
your Opt-in Mailing list.
If you break even, don't be discouraged.
Breaking even is an amazing result, and if
you have built your list up, then you will
be profiting for years to come.
So for your first affiliate program, choose
a product that sells for around $40 to $50
and where you still get at least 40% of the
total profits.
Your second affiliate program you join will
be in the category of what we call "Residual
Income".
This is an affiliate program that pays you
every month someone stays signed up for the
product or service. For example, if you were
to promote a web hosting company, and they
charged $25 a month, you would get around
$10 a month for as long as that person stays
signed up for web hosting.
These are great programs to promote because
all they require is a little hard work up
front and you're set for months, even years.
That's why I recommend promoting this type
of program once you have a large list of
names to email to.
Of course you will still be promoting your
free course to other people, but this is a
way to make back end sales from your current
list. Don't think if you've advertised to
these people once, that's all they are good
for. It takes some folks several times to
respond to a message, so keep reminding them
of what you have to offer.
You can find a large list of Residual Income
affiliate programs at
LifeTimeCommissions.com
Now your third affiliate program will also
be a program that you will promote to your
current subscriber list. This program should
pay you a large lump sum of money. This type
of program will have a lower conversion
rate, but you should be making $80 to $150
commission per sale.

Create A Free Report Series
Don’t overlook this step! It’s vital to your
affiliate success. I will go as far as
saying that if you create a responsive Opt-
In list, 75% of your work is done for you
already. That goes for anything you're doing
online.
This free report will be promoting the first
affiliate program you chose from step 1. It
should be priced around $40 or $50 and pay
you around $20 to $25 per sale.
Creating your free report is easy. Either
find 5 articles on your subject that you're
allowed to use, or create 5 articles
yourself. They don't have to be long, only
around 500 words. Then send them out to your
prospects over 5 days using your
autoresponder. Make sure these reports are
full of useful information, not just blatant
advertising. You do however get a chance to
advertise to them directly later.
How I create an autoresponder series is by
writing 5 to 10 articles on the topic of my
affiliate program. For instance, if I were
writing a report on search engine ranking, I
would create the following articles.
1. The Tools Of The Search Engine Specialist
2. Meta Data, Yes Or No?
3. How Mini Sites Can Generate Thousands In
Extra Visitors
4. Getting Listed In Yahoo! The Easy Way
5. Creating Keywords Relevant To Your Site
6. Search Engine Ranking On A Budget
7. The Biggest Search Engine Myths
And so on..
One tip I have for writing articles is to
jot down points, and use those points to
build your article. For instance, when
writing "How Mini Sites Can Generate
Thousands In Extra Visitors", I would jot
down points like this.
* Choosing A Domain Name
* Finding Cheap Web Hosting
* Using Keywords Throughout The Web Site
* Submitting To Search Engines
* Tracking Hits
* Doing This All Over Again
I would then write 100 to 200 words per
point and voila! There's your first
article/report for you to use.
Now when sending out your free report with
your autoresponder, it should be set up
something like this.
When the person signs up, they get part 1,
then for the next 4 days they get parts 2,
3, 4 and 5. In these messages, you will get
a chance to advertise to them in the first
and last sections of your message. Here's an
example of an autoresponder message you can
send out.

Part 1, Becoming A Super Affiliate On A Budget With Mini
Affiliate Sites
-----------------------------------------------------------
------
Earning a good income from Affiliate Programs is not as
hard as everyone make's it out to be.
The figure's are that 95% of all affiliates never earn
enough to warrant a check. And of those 5% only 1 to 2%
earn enough to live off their commissions.
That's not good news for the "average" Joe Affiliate is it?
But I'm telling you now, it does not have to be that hard.
All you need is a simple formula that work's over and over
again. It really is that simple.
-----------------------------------------------------------
------
The 5 Step's To Becoming A Super Affiliate On A Budget
-----------------------------------------------------------
------
******* Step 1 *******
1. Create A 1 Page Free Report Web Site With A Simple
Subscribe Form
Before we get into creating your Mini Affiliate Site we
need to select an Affiliate Program to promote. If you
already have one you want to promote, move on, if not read
on :)
When selecting your first Affiliate Program for your Mini
Affiliate Site, I suggest you go for a product with a
rather large price tag, so you can make profits from day
one. Of course the big money comes from you backend, which
we will talk about later.
I alway's suggest you promote a product you have used and
trust before anything else.
Don't just promote an Affiliate Program because of the
commissions, as that's a sure fire way to fail.
If you're looking for a directory of Affiliate Programs to
join instantly, I suggest you look at Allan Gardyne's
AssociatePrograms.com.
Setting up a web site now has never been easier. A few
years ago, domain names sold for $35 for 1 year, and
webhosting was about the same for 1 month. Now it's so very
inexpensive.
You can purchase domains names for $13.50 at 000domains.com
and even cheaper at godaddy.com.
The last time I checked they were selling dot com, net, org
names for only $8.95.
As I speak, there's a new hosting company that specialises
in hosting Mini Sites. They are www.bizminisites.com and
for only $9.95 you get 3 months of quality web hosting.
If you would like an example of a very effective Mini Site
have a look at the following sites.
http://www.philwiley.com/
http://www.track-your-ads.com/
http://www.sohohelper.com/
http://www.ebooksnbytes.com/
You can find a lot of really good web site templates at
www.freesitetemplates.com.
That's it for Part 1 today. You will get the second, third
and fourth parts in a few days.
If you can't wait until then, you can always visit our site

need.

http://www.websitehere.com
As you can see, I've got my web site address
and special offers throughout the report.
But I was telling people to go to my
website. If you don't have a web site, you
would put a little advertisement for your
affiliate program at the start and at the
end of your reports.
If writing emails to keep in contact with
your list seems overwhelming, check out the
Instant Niche Email program at
http://www.instantnicheemails.com . With a
little work, you can have a year’s worth of
messages created in less than a day. Plus
you can use the software for as many niches
as you like.
If your prospect hasn't purchased from you
after your free reports have been sent out,
don't worry. The next part is where you will
get most of your sales. Considering there
are so many other affiliates promoting the
same or similar product you are, you have to
make them want to buy from you.
How do you do this? Easy- you overdeliver
by giving them more than what they expected.
I offer them something else if they purchase
from the affiliate program I'm promoting.
For instance, I give away consultation free,
where I help them with any problems they
might have.
Here's an example of using a report to get
readers into the buying mode.
Hi Firstname,
I have a secret for you that will hopefully make you very
excited.
As you know, Killer Mini Sites is selling from my web site
for $22.70, $79.95 and $249.95. If you're confused about
the different options, let me explain.
For $22.70, you get a copy of the book Killer Mini Sites
and you can resell the book to your web site visitors for
$24.95. But remember, this option is full of my Affiliate
Links, where I'm earning money from your hard work.
For $79.95 you get a fully branded copy of Killer Mini
Sites that you can sell for $24.95 with your Affiliate
Links that will earn you residual income constantly.
For $249.95 you get a fully branded copy of Killer Mini
Sites that you can sell for $24.95, you also get to sell
the customization rights for $79.95 and the big profit
puller is you can sell the MASTER RIGHTS for a massive
$249.95 per sale.
But, here's the best bit. I'm offering, for a very limited
time only, the MASTER RIGHTS to Killer Mini Sites for ONLY
$150. I'm slashing $100 dollars off the price and I'm
throwing in FREE Consultation with me via email any time
you need help.
That's right, you get your own Internet Publishing Business
complete with website sales letter and branding utilities,
and FREE consultation that I sell elsewhere for $147.00.
To be honest, I don't know what you're waiting for, this
offer will not be around for long.
You can purchase the MASTER RIGHTS Today by clicking the
link below. Remember, this link is for the $150 MASTER
RIGHT option.
http://www.clickbank.net/sell.yourlink
I can tell you now, the book is selling like hot cakes and
if you purchase today, I will give you my secret tactic
that makes 1 in every 45 people purchase this product.
I will also show you how to get unlimited email leads for
you to advertise to constantly without spamming.
If this is not a big enough motivator to purchase today, I
don't know what is.
If you would like more information about the book, which in
itself is amazing, visit my web site at
http://www.websitehere.com
or email me at
email@here.com - This is my home account, you email will
get priority status.
To your success and may your clicks come often
Your Name
http://www.websitehere.com
P.S, If you don't order today, please email me and tell me
what’s stopping you so I can sweeten the deal.
This got an amazing response. It was sent 2
days after the free course was over. The
pull here was that I will give them $100 off
the price of the product, plus still give
them free consultation for 6 months.
The options are limitless.
Of course this would not be the end of your
contact with them. If the prospect still
hasn't purchased the first affiliate program
you're promoting that's OK. The lifetime
value of a prospect is a lot more than just
a one time sale.
That's why you selected three affiliate
programs to promote. Instead of trying to
get the prospect to buy the one product over
and over again, offer them something fresh.
With this in mind, I recommend offering them
a residual income affiliate program, like a
membership site.
Then create another report and start all
over again. An Opt-in list is a continuous
stream of money.
Of course, when people purchase from you,
they should be taken off the prospect list,
and added to your customer list. This list
is your most important asset. It's 10 times
as important as your prospects list because
these people showed they were willing to buy
from you.
Some affiliate programs don't allow you to
see the email addresses of people who buy
from you, so that's why when you're giving
away your special offer in conjunction with
your affiliate program.
Ask them to send you an email when they have
purchased, then you will give them whatever
bonus you were offering.
(Remember, when your prospect buys something
from you, they become a customer, so do not
forget to take them off your prospects
list.)
With these people, you will want to give
them other special deals not available to
your prospect list. The first email sent to
them should be thanking them for their
purchase, and letting them know how they can
receive their free bonus and how they can
contact you at anytime.
The second email sent to them should be sent
a few days later giving them another free
bonus they were not expecting. I love it
when people do this for me, and I suggest
you do this for your customers.
The third email you send them should be sent
out about 7 days after they purchase from
you. This email should offer them a backend
product, for instance your residual income
affiliate program. If you can, see if you
can talk to the affiliate program manager
and get a special discount rate on the
product, or maybe the first month for $1,
just for your customers. I doubt any
affiliate program manager would reject a
sure fire way to make even more money.
In the mid to long term, this will build a
nice on going lifelong income for you.
About 7 days after your third email was
sent, send them another discount product,
but make sure this product is in the high
commission range. This is where you will
make most of your income.
The information business is truly the best
business to be in. I get excited when I'm
writing books and thinking about the
possibilities. It's great meeting new people
and making new friendships.
Make sure you keep in contact with your
customer base and offer them free reports
and other special offers every month or two.
Just make sure you don't over do it.
There are not too many autoresponders that
can handle this sort of work load for a
cheap price, however, I have found one that
will do this and more. It's called
Aweber.com and you can get a free trial for
30 days. Then after that it's only $19.95
per month. They give you unlimited
autoresponders and other great options. You
won’t find anything else like it. If you're
after a residual income affiliate program to
promote, I recommend these people.
Considering you have no web hosting bills
like nearly everyone else on line, you can
afford to pay a little bit more for your
autoresponder.
Now how many businesses do you know of that
can run on a mere $19.95 investment every
month?
You could also produce free reports every
month, and advertise them to your current
list, while still advertising your first
affiliate program report. Imagine having an
around the clock sales machine sending out
free reports to thousands, while promoting
your affiliate programs and building a name
for yourself.
Advertise Your First Affiliate Program Via
Your Free Report
This is the easier step, yet the step most
people have trouble with. Creating an
excellent free report is A LOT harder than
advertising your free report. It's just a
matter of coming up with a list of good
ezines and discussion boards to advertise
on. Signature files are a surprise add-on
here, but they really do work.
You will need to generate a list of ezine
publishers so you can send them articles to
use for their ezine.
Ezine advertising would have to be my
favourite option, as it's quick and easy.
The only hard part is writing the ad copy
for your ads, and finding ezines to
advertise in.
Two of the top ezine directories are
topezineads.com and directoryofezines.com.
There is a cost to use these, but they will
be your lifeline until you generate a list
of ezines yourself.
The whole aim of this advertising campaign
is to generate leads for your free report,
so you really want to advertise anywhere you
think people might be interested in your
report. Since you’re not going for a direct
sale straight off the bat, this somewhat
allows you to be a little less worried about
how targeted your audience is.
If you're running low on money, I recommend
classified advertising. It's so inexpensive
that I advertise Internet marketing products
in humour ezines and still pull a good
response rate for the amount of money I put
in.
You can get classified ads for around $2 per
ad, which is extremely cheap. I highly
recommend Partneon.com and Twodollarads.com
for any classified advertising you're going
to do. Of course if you search through ezine
directories you will find a lot of other
places to advertise cheaply.
Writing classified ads has turned into
somewhat of an art form. There are literally
hundreds of books on the subject of writing
successful classified ads, yet most over
complicate it too much.
So what makes a good classified ad?
1) An attention grabbing headline

Once you've found a few good ezines, keep
advertising with them. After you think
you've got the most out of their classified
ad section, start using sponsorship ads.
While this will be quite a steep climb in
costs compared to classified ads, the
results will be quite dramatically
different. Top sponsorship ads can cost
anywhere between $15 to $300 dollars
depending on where you're advertising.
I recommend using top sponsorship ads if you
don't want to spend a lot extra on
purchasing a solo ad. However if you can
purchase a solo ad for an extra $50 or so, I
would definitely go for the solo ad.
Sponsorship ads also give you an idea of how
well the ezine pulls and whether or not it's
worth the time and money to buy a solo ad.
Don't get carried away with figures when you
purchase a solo ad. When I first started
out, I advertised a product directly via my
solo ad. The ad went out to 12,000 people
and going on the figures of 1% buying my
product, I thought this Internet Marketing
thing wasn't that hard.
I did my research, I was told this ezine was
good, which it is, and I went for it. The
commission I was going to receive for every
sale was $20. So 120 were supposed to buy,
time $20 per sale came to $2400.
How much money did I actually make from this
ad? $20! That's right, I only made $20. Why?
A) Because I advertised the affiliate
program directly
B) I did not know the affiliate program had
been advertised about 10 times before
C) I didn't even have a way to capture email
addresses
It was a total flop and I was very put off
from trying again.
That lasted about 4 hours! That night I was
re-reading the information that got me into
this mess to start with. I followed exactly
what the affiliate program manager said to
do, and it didn't work. Luckily for me, at
that time I stopped listening to affiliate
managers and started thinking for myself.
Have a look around any ezines you've joined,
and try and remember if you read any of the
ads. If so, which ones and why? Did you sign
up for what they were offering? If no, Why?
This is the best way to find ezine ads that
work. If you read the ad and signed up for
what they were offering, other people
probably did, too.
Another method of free advertising I like to
use is discussion board posting.
Discussion board posting is very effective,
especially if the message board is inside a
members-only site where you pay to join.
The idea here is not to spam the message
board, but to actually add some content.
Only answer questions you know a lot about.
Don't try and be an expert on a topic you’re
not. I'm not an expert at copywriting, so I
very rarely give people expert advice on
this. I help people with basic questions,
but no more unless I really know what I'm
talking about. This is the best way to ruin
your reputation before you're even lucky
enough to create one.
Here's a sample posting which I think is the
perfect

Ebook Covers....Recommendations, please!
Posted by Julie Jordan Scott on Sat, Oct 27, , 3:24 pm
Happy Weekend One and All!
I am looking for an Ebook Cover Designer. I know that many
folks here are ebook authors or are ebook cover designers.
I am in the market for some covers and am looking for
recommendations.
Please share any positive recommendations, or email me with
cautions.
Thanks a bunch, everyone, all of a sudden I am on warped
speed here in Bakersfield.....
With Purpose and Passion,
JULIE JORDAN SCOTT
(That was taken from http://www.ablake.net
message board, which is highly recommended.)
I must admit, I don't use the following
advertising method as much as I should
because it can really boost traffic over
time.
Signature files are little blurbs of text
either after a post in a message board or at
the bottom of your email. The most notable
use of a signature file would have to be
hotmail.com. Hotmail originally relied on
its own customers to promote their service
as each email message they sent contained a
direct link to Hotmail's sign-up website.
This viral marketing strategy generated
hundreds of thousands, very possibly
millions of new users for their free
service.
The idea of signature files is to make them
as short and as compelling as possible.
Let's say I just finished writing a post to
a message board and I was just talking about
affiliate programs.
This is what I write after my message board
post to advertise my website.
"Discover How To Generate Thousands Without
A Web Site Or A Product Of Your Own"
And I would link that to my sales page. A
good idea is to also use a separate tracking
system to track how many hits your message
board postings are receiving.
If you were answering a question on creating
a well written sales letter, you could use
your signature file to promote an affiliate
program like instantsalesletters.com . It's
that simple.
Writing Articles To Generate
A Monthly Viral Income
Here's the idea.
We've all been taught to create free viral
ebooks to either promote our products or
affiliate products and submit them to free
ebook directories. This was sound advice,
but I've found an even better way to make
this work.
Create your own free ebook directory full of
your own free viral ebooks!
Think Clickbank.com but with free ebooks on
all subjects that you own, promoting
affiliate programs 24/7.
People go to this site, download the free
book they want, they pass it around, and
there ya go, automated affiliate income.
But how do you go about creating these free
ebooks so they produce the best sales
possible? I've found by creating an FAQ list
(frequently asked question) on a certain
subject and then converting it into PDF, my
affiliate sales have soared.
I'm not trying to heavily sell them in the
book, they are getting very useful free
information and I then point them to a paid
resource to get more information if they
want to.
I also ask them to pass the book around as
much as they like.
Want an example of an FAQ list? Go here
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/bodybuilding/
hardgainer-faq/
This FAQ list is quite big and detailed.
Your free books only need to be 5 or so
pages long.
Here is an article I wrote on creating a
viral ebook. It really doesn't have much to
do with the business idea in general, but
will give you an idea of what I'm talking
about at least:
“… but if you want more information on
creating Ebooks, You can find it at
http://www.7dayebook.com. It's a one off fee
for $27 and it comes in Ebook format
ironically enough.”
Now, back to my explanation.
Whether you like it or not, having your own
product gives you more flexibility in your
online advertising AND believe it or not,
compiling an Ebook is no more then a week’s
work part time if done correctly. IF you do
it this way the profits will come in for
life.
I have checks coming in still from work I
did 2 years ago, thanks to the power of
residual income affiliate programs and viral
marketing Ebooks.
Ok, let’s get down to the nitty gritty. What
is a viral marketing Ebook and why should
you create one?
A viral marketing Ebook is a book which sole
purpose is to be spread around the Internet
quickly, by any means possible. It's not
meant to make you money on the front end.
You want other people selling it and giving
it away to as many people as possible.
Why?
Because the inside of that book is full of
affiliate links to other peoples products
and every time someone gives away your book
or sells it, (depending on how you want to
do it) more people will be seeing your
affiliate links, and this is costing you
what? NOTHING? Exactly!
The best examples I could give you of this
process would be by Yanik Silver. He created
2 marketing books that spread over the
Internet like wildfire. He gave everyone who
purchased the book for $19 or $17 (depending
on the book) the rights to sell it or give
it away to their customers.
Needless to say, thousands of people
starting selling it and promoting it all
over the Internet. To this day, he is still
earning good money from that book, plus he
became one of the most well known Internet
Marketers.
So how do you go about creating your own
viral marketing Ebook?
Here are the steps.
1) Come up with a product idea based on your
affiliate program you've already chosen and
are already promoting.
Coming up with ideas isn't hard. For
example, and I know I use this example a
lot, BUT, if you are going to be promoting a
sports betting affiliate program, why not
create a book on becoming a successful
punter. Then throughout the book, you can
recommend your favorite sports betting
affiliate program.
101 Insider Secrets To Sports Betting
How To Bet With Other Peoples Money
A good way to come up with ideas is to look
at what others are already selling and mimic
that. You don’t need to recreate the wheel
here, so PLEASE don't make things harder
than they have to be.
2) Get the tools you need to succeed
You are going to need a few tools here.
A) A domain name
I register all my domain names with
http://www.namecheap.com for under $9 a
domain name, which to me is pretty darn
cheap. You want a fairly short domain name
that describes the content of your book
fairly well.
Here's an example for you people promoting
sport betting affiliate programs.
http://www.sportsbettingaffiliates.com
http://www.sportsoddbetting.com
http://www.betforfree.com
etc....
B) Webhosting
Let me say first, you get what you pay for.
This has never been more true than with
webhosting. YOU NEED a good reliable
webhosting company with 24/7 technical
support. If your site goes down and you
can't contact anyone to help you get it back
up, you will lose sales and a lot of them.
C) Autoresponder
You will need this so you can contact your
prospects who don't purchase straight away.
This is where you will give away your free
course to entice them to give you their
email address so you can contact them
periodically.
D) Credit card processor
Clickbank.com is your fast and easy answer.
They will let you accept all major credit
cards and start an affiliate program for a
one time setup fee of under $50. They do
take a percentage of every sale, but this is
so much cheaper then getting your own
merchant account.
Just about everyone selling Ebooks online is
using Clickbank.
E) Ebook Software
You will more than likely want to create
your book in PDF format so everyone can read
it. (PC and mac users alike)
F) Graphic Design Software
If you are anything like me, your artistic
abilities peaked at age 7. So instead of
busting my hump to create my Ebook covers
and website graphics I use folks who are

3) Outline your book chapters into articles
Writing a whole book in one sitting is hard,
and trying to write a book without outlining
the chapters is nearly impossible. My first
book took me over 6 months, but now most of
my books take me less than a week to finish
and that is with a sales letter and website
up.
All you have to do is think up 12 to 15
article topics in sequence and write about
them. Each page should be around 700 to 1000
words, full of useful information, not
information people could get for free.
4) Write your content
Like I said just before, you need original
content. There are too many books out there
now where people are just regurgitating
information others can get for free and this
lowers the value of your book, which means
less people will pass it around and even
less will read it.

It’s inexpensive, and it works!
The best way to get a good amount of
original information without writing it
yourself is to interview experts in the
field. For instance, if you were writing a
book about improving your golf handicap, I'm
sure it wouldn't be too hard to find some
local experts who you could grill in person,
over the phone or even via the Internet and
you can then put all that information in the
book. It's also a good selling point.
Also remember when you’re writing what the
point of this book is. The point of the book
is to earn you an on going commission with
affiliate programs, so don't feel like you
can't throw some affiliate links in, because
you can, but make sure it's tactful and in
place.
Another good idea would be to put a
"Subscribe to my newsletter" section in your
book as well, so not only will you make
commissions on sales, but also generate
leads without doing any extra work.
Make sure you clearly state in the front of
the book, that the buyer can sell this book
as his own. State that he has Resell Rights
to the product and can sell it or give it
away if he chooses.
5) Create your sales letter
This is where you will be selling your book
and is critically crucial to your success.
Creating a sales letter takes a lot of work,
especially if you’re new to the whole thing.
The best way is to mimic successful sales
letters.
If for some reason you think you can't do
this by yourself, you have 2 options.
1) Use software that helps put together your
sales letter
and
2) Hire a copywriter
If you want to hire a professional
copywriter, you’re looking at thousands of
dollars, plus royalties from your book
sales.
Remember that you’re selling this book with
reprint rights, which means when they buy
the book they can sell it as well. This is a
huge selling point for you. You will also be
giving them your Ebook cover, website
graphics and sales letter to use to sell
your product.
6) Plug in your free 5 day autoresponder
series
The best way to write your free 5 day course
that your prospects get via your pop up
window is to take chapters out of your book
and put them in as a free teaser.
Remember to emphasize urgency. You want to
make these prospects that don't buy straight
away, feel like they are missing out on an
opportunity of a life time and considering
the low price of the book, if they don't
buy; more than likely they weren't really
interested or were freebie seekers from the
start.
7) Advertise!
Depending on your topic, you will want to
target different people. However, no matter
what topic you’re selling on, there is one
market who will want your book for the sole
purpose of selling it, and that's the
Internet Marketing group.
Your book could be on Hippos but all they
care about is the fact they can sell it as
their own. This is why this type of book
always does well.
The key is to target people in your market
and then the Internet Marketing crowd.
Other Ways To Profit From
Articles
Being an affiliate is a hard enough job at
the best of times, but have you ever tried
to get your article published in a large
ezine publication? It can be a nightmare
sometimes. It's even harder if you try and
work your affiliate link into the article.
Articles are a great way to get free
exposure for your web site and your
affiliate program. Hopefully your web sites
goal will be to get Opt-In email addresses
and you have some sort of free report system
working.
However, I have been testing an idea for
quite awhile now that I think really works
and I guarantee you that you will get your
article published 100% more than you do now.
This works especially well if you're running
an Opt-In mailing list which I recommend you
do.
Ezine publishers receive hundreds of
articles for publishing a week, so why
should they publish yours? You might think
you have the best article ever written, and
you might, but ezine publishers have to make
money too you know. My idea not only will
increase your chances of getting published
but you will also be helping ezine
publishers make more money, which in the
long run they will remember and will be more
receptive to your articles in the future.
Here's the idea.
When you write your article, try and work an
affiliate link into it. Make sure it's in
context and not just a blatant advertisement
as that's why most ezine publishers refuse
to publish affiliate members articles.
As I was saying, write your article and in
that article put a link to an affiliate
program you're promoting in context in your
article. It helps when doing this that you
can say that you honestly use that product
or service. I guarantee you a personal
endorsement in your article will double the
sales you would get with out an endorsement.
The twist here is that the affiliate link
you put in will be changed by the ezine
publisher. You will be letting the ezine
publisher change your affiliate link in your
article so they can earn commissions from
your article and therefore increasing the
chances of getting your article published.
This has never failed for me and I'm sure it
won't fail for you.
So how do you make money from this? Well if
you have your own autoresponder free report
series set up, you can use that in your
article by-line. You would make more sales
from this than from commissions from the
article. Your goal in any affiliate exercise
is to get as many Opt-In email addresses as
possible and as cheaply and quickly as
possible.
Make sure your article by-line is something
that catches the reader’s attention. Here’s
a by-line I used when promoting an article
on Mini Sites. You can see I use a tracker
to show how many people click on my link.
”Your Name” has been helping people succeed
online for over X years. Visit his web site
to find out how you can create mini sites
that sell like crazy. Go to his website at
http://www.websitehere.com
However, if you wanted to promote your free
autoresponder report series I would use
something like this,
”Your Name” has been helping people succeed
online for over X years. Find out how to
earn a full time automated income with
affiliate programs on a budget by sending a
blank email to your@autoresponderhere.com
(I have many variations of this by line)
This is the most effective way to use your
article. Going for the one off sale is
ridiculous and risky to your online
business.
Best Places To Submit Your
Articles For Massive
Exposure
There are many pieces of software that will
submit your article to directories, or you
can hire a high school kid to do it for you.
You can also hire services like
Submityourarticle.com and Phantomwriters.com
to submit your articles for you, but this
gets very costly if you are writing lots and
lots of articles at once.
Really, it’s no big deal to do it yourself.
Here are list of article directories I
submit my articles to.
