My Clickbank Affilliate Marketing Plan That Works and Will Help You Make Money Online

2010-06-06T10:23:00.000-05:00

It has been awhile since i have posted so i wanted to give you an update of what i have been doing and how things have been going. Sales are actually going very well. Again not guru levels but enough to make my families life alot better!! You can see my sales as of yesterday in the screen shot photo. As i write this i have also had $32.46 in sales today and its only 10 am. I am hoping for at least a $50 today!

All i really have been doing is article marketing, blog posting and then also using web 2.0 properties. I have been using a BETA version of some web 2.0 auto posting software from incansoft to help me post. But really I just developed a plan and stuck to it. It may not seem like much but it is working plus it gives me time for my family and job!

Here is My Daily Goal That I Try To Accomplish

Find keyword to write article around at 9:00 break at work. I use many methods to find them, just use what works for you or check out this keyword research guide as it gives alot of useful tips for finding keywords fast!

Write one 300-350 word article at lunch break at work submit to EZA

Get home and spin each article with Magic Article Rewriter

To spin the article I give each sentence 3 alternate sentences and do not just spin synonyms, i have had much better luck this way!

Post Spun Version to Self Hosted wordpress blog (main money site)

Submit Spun Version to Free Traffic System

Post to web 2.0 network with software

Submit spun version of article by hand to articlesbase.com

Mass Submit with Magic Article Submitter to about 800 directories (set up MAS to randomly switch links between all web 2.0 sites and main website/blog)

After that I am done. I have placed an article on EZA and articlesbase, posted it to my free blog network and submitted it to other directories around the web.

I will then spend about an hour a around 9 pm after my kids go to bed to SEO my blog, sites and web network. This mainly involves getting back links from profiles, blog comments and content swaps with other blog owners. With this plan i can count on a sale or two per day and that sure helps me.

Sometimes on the weekend I will do more work, maybe getup at 5 am and slam out 5 articles submit them then call it a day! But my main focus is to stay consistent!

SEO Tips - My Basic SEO Plan and Advice To Help Your Sites Rank Well

2010-04-24T10:10:00.007-05:00

I have been working pretty hard the last year in an attempt to get one of my pages to rank well for a vry competitive keyword inside my niche. According to Googles keyword tool that keyword gets just under 100,000 exact phrase searches a month and over 500,000 broad phrase matches. I recently go it to rank #2. Although it does still bounce daily between 4 and 2 most times it is #2!

Below i will go over what i did to get there. Obviously i won't give it all away but it will list some basics that i know work and work well. There are some products i used to help me get here. I will mention them and put the links at the end of this post.

To start with i knew that to get to the top i had to know what the others that were ranking for the keyword were doing so i bought Seo Spyglass. This allowed my to very quickly analyze my competitors links and get to work with getting my links on the same forums, sites, blogs and directories. I spent about an hour a night building links on blogs and forums i found with SEO Spyglass. I only used links from the top three sites in Google for my chosen keyword, i excluded any wikipedia or other mega authority sites in my analyzing.

Next i made it a point to write one article per day for my niche. I would submit this article to Ezinearticles and articlesbase,goarticles and articleslash. I would then use Magic Article rewriter to set the article up for spinning and mass submit using both Magic Article Submitter and Article Post Robot. I probably hit about 1000 directories with this method.

To spin the article i would spin each sentence in its entirety and give it three new sentences, i would then go back and spin words within each sentence with new synonyms. This would give me articles that were very unique. I did the same for the title and resource box. I would use two anchor text links per article one pointing to my main site and the other i would rotate with various URLS of articles, blog posts,web 2.0,profile links, ETC that i posted that were pointing back to my main page. I hope that makes sense!

I used two different submitters because each has its own advantages. I like Magic Article Submitter Because it automatically signs up and creates accounts for you and Article Post Robot Submits More Consistently it seems. Although magic article submitter can easily blast out to hundreds of directories within minutes where as you have to manually sign up with Article Post Robot!

In addition Magic Article Submitter checks the status of your articles and tell you if they accepted, declined or still in review and gives you the URL of accepted articles. You can then take these article URLS and promote them as well to give more back link juice ot your main page.

I also had a network of web 2.0 properties such as blogger,xnaga,wetpaint,hubpages and sites like that. I posted spun content to them as well. Sometimes i would make them into a link wheel type system other times i would just post straight to them linking to my mian page. I would then promote these pages as well to give their out going links more juice! You can do this by hand or use Web Link Robot 2.0 which auto mates the whole system!

I used many different methods to promote my site and feeder pages. I bought some WSO blog comment packages and also used profile links as well. The profile links i got were from WSO offers that were giving hundreds of profiles. I had about 2000 profile links to use. I then had an outsourcer add 15 profiles a day every day from these lists. I always had them use a different user name for each profile and only had 1-3 outbound links to vagarious sites but always my main page!

Aside from profile links i would do some hand commenting on blogs i found. I also used Socialbot and RSS bot to submit alot of stuff to social sites and the RSSbot i used by turning alot of my sites from HTML in RSS using www.html2rss.com

I also made use of Free Traffic system in order to get FREE contextual anchor text links. This system lets you submit article that will be posted on relevant blogs for free and will give you up to 2 anchor text back links! Best thing is that you can submit article in spinning syntax and they will post unique articles. You can pull the proper spinning format from magic article rewriter!

That is it in a nutshell, obviously i left some SECRET stuff out that i learned along the way but this should get anyone started down the right path and ranking well. I committed 2 hours a night to this effort plus my 1/2 hour lunch break at work!

New Clickbank Article Marketing Update

2010-03-14T11:40:00.000-05:00

Well it looks like my approach is working well, you can see by the screen shot that my sales went up alot after last friday when i started blogging everyday about the product name.

Here is a link to the post where is explain what i am doing

One other thing i have been doing is looking at my statcounter stats and when one of my sites is found by a unique keyword i quickly write a post around that keyword. I figure somebody already looked for it so someone else probably will to!

Secondly if you have an ezinearticles account you can go to your author stats page. Where it shows you how many times your article has been viewed click on the total number of article views.

You will be taken to a page that will show you the top 5 or so keywords for the month that were used to find your article. This is really valuable and can help you find some really good keywords!

Just keep looking for little ideas like this that can help you keep moving forward. And remember you need to do something everyday, whether it is a blog post or a new article do something because consistency is key!

Clickbank Article Marketing Strategy Update

2010-03-06T10:14:00.002-06:00

It seems that my new strategy might be paying off,since starting it this week i have had a 4 days in a row now with sales and traffic is picking up!!I am hoping i can get it back to where it was before! There is a screen shot to the left that shows my sales as of 10 am Saturday morning.

I have been writing like a madman as well, a new blog post everyday on the same few products is getting tiring. How many times can i say the same thing in a different way!!! I also noticed as I post to my blog about the products i promote i am moving up in Google for the actual product name. This is a nice side benefit!

In an attempt to gain a few more sales and more traffic I have begun to start using free web 2.0 properties to put up pages around low hanging keywords. All i do is set the original blog post up for spinning using Magic Article Rewriter.This has by far been the best article spinner i have used. Its easy and the creator is always making it better. It is manual so it does need your input but in my opinion thats the best way to go!

I give each sentence 3 new versions to pick from then change a few synonyms within the new sentences. I can spin a 300 word article like this in about 40 minutes. Then i submit it to about 15 web 2.0 pages i have using Web link Robot. This is a pretty cool program that will register and post to new web 2.0 accounts automatically and also post to existing web 2.0 networks! It also will spin the articles as it submits them. You just have to load them in spin ready format from magic article rewriter!

With this strategy i have been able to pick off 5-7 spots on some low hanging keywords. Not sure of their sticking power but i think a few back links to them would do the trick!

Anyways I will keep you guys posted on how this all shakes out! Hopefully i can get back to having $100 days a few times a week again!

Clickbank Progress So Far This Year - I Wish It Were Better

2010-03-03T19:40:00.000-06:00

Alright so last year i was doing great, had alot of $100 days and thought 2010 would start with a bang! Well it has been more like a fizzle! Sales from clickbank so far this year have only been $679.68! This is way off from where i need to be to meet last years sales goals!

I am not sure if it is the economy or what! I have the hops and went from converting 1 in 25 to 1 in 217, can i get a big WTF!!! Anyways i started to try something different. I took the names of the products i created and started writing articles where people want more info about that product. I then mention why the product is so great and how it will help them, i also mention one negative about it but nothing to bad just enough to get some more trust and credibility!

For example i am using titles like "Does Whatever Product Work" "How Good Does What Ever Product Work"

i also built a few blogs in the niche and am spinning the articles and using them as posts to the blogs for some extra traffic! Even with the blogs traffic and hops are good but sales are slow!

This has brought alot more order form impression counts on my clickbank stats but not to many sales yet. I am going to max out this angle and see what happens when the economy gets better!

Additionally i signed up for Aweber and stared a list in a few niches including IM so if you want to get on my list just fill out the ugly box in the upper right hand corner!! I won't send yo worthless garbage everyday, in fact i rarely email out unless i write a new post or actually find a product worth mentioning!

Can't Get Your Wordpress Blog Indexed-Looking at a Common Wordpress Mistake.

2010-02-01T12:06:00.000-06:00

Its been awhile since i set up a new wordpress blog and i just set one up in the forex niche last weekend. After it was set up i wrote a few articles for goarticles, 365articles and articlesbase. These are all instant approval sites so the articles were live instantly and they should help me get indexed quick.

I also social bookmarked my blog with social bot and did a few other things to get it indexed quickly. Three days later nothing, i could not figure it out.

Then i remembered that wordpress installations default to being invisible to the search engines so no matter what i did the blog would never get indexed.

To fix this all you have to do is go to the privacy settings page in your wordpress admin page and switch it from

"I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors" (default setting)

to

“I would like my blog to be visible to everyone, including search engines (like Google, Sphere, Technorati) and archivers”

If you forget to do this your blog will never be indexed and free traffic will never come. Its a simple tip but you would be surprised at how many people overlook this, especially people new to wordpress and IM.

Awesome New Article Spinner That Is FREE, For Now Anyways

2009-12-31T11:59:00.000-06:00

It seems that there are many article spinners on the market, essentially they all do the same thing and offer little else. However once in awhile a good one comes along that really makes you say "Why Did'nt I Think Of That". Well one just appeared on the market that does just that. It is called The Best Spinner and it was made by John Leger.

This software is unique because it builds synonyms in a user made database. For each article you spin you can select three options.

All Synonyms

Good Synonyms

Best Synonyms

Once you make your choice you are taken to a very cool interface that lets you rewrite each word or short phrase with a few clicks of the mouse. And because you control the spin text the results are very readable articles that are very well written.

The best part is that this new software if FREE, for now anyways. so go check it out at http://www.thebestspinner.com

My 2009 Year In Review!

2009-12-30T08:52:00.000-06:00

Well 2009 is drawing to a close and i have alot to look back on this year. I had my best year in IM yet making over $10,000 and am pretty excited about that. I have learned alot this year and feel that 2010 is going to be much better for me.

My earnings for 2009 were as follows

$6015.53 from clickbank ( 334 sales so about a sale a day)
$2550 from local SEO work starting in July
$1500 from a website i sold
$400 from free lance article writing

So it was just a tad over $10,000. Considering I am 100% self taught and did this with out a list i am pretty happy. While it is true there are people who make this every month i did it working 40-50 hours a week at a normal job and raising two small kids!

All in all its not a bad year as i look back. But this year i hope to get into list building and maximize my income. I just started messing around with Aweber and if you would like to get on my list there is a small box on the right hand side of my blog.

Its a small little opt in box but I still have alot of learning and experimenting to do but for now the simple box will have to do! I am working on getting some free products to give away when you sign up.

Anyways if you sign up I won't spam you with endless product offers but hope to offer extra tips to my list then I give on my blog! And i will only send you product offers that i truly believe are worth it.

Anyways I wish everyone a safe and happy new year and I am looking forward to an exciting 2010 and hope yo are as well!

2009-12-13T17:24:00.003-06:00

It has been awhile since i posted to my blog, 3 months to be exact. Things have been going great marketing wise but i had some serious incidents in my personal life.

First my mom had a mild stroke followed by my son having to have an emergency stomach surgery out of the blue! Then my mother in law had a cancer scare. After all this my wife got hurt on an escalator in the mall.

Needless to say everyone is OK and doing well, it just took me away from my online activities for awhile.

I am back now and will be posting again on a regular basis so keep reading, sending me emails and commenting and i will do my best to help you out!

Backlinking Articles-The easy Way To Get It Done

2009-09-16T16:38:00.005-05:00

Easy Way To Get Back Links!!

One of the fastest and easiest ways to add back links to your websites and your articles is to use profile links. Profile links are anchor text links in that you place in your profile page at popular websites high Page Rank websites.

The only problem with this method is finding the high page ranks websites that actually give your links a "follow" attribute instead of the dreaded "no follow". This was long and tedious work, but worth it was worth it in the end because the results it gives are very good and your sites rankings can jump rather quickly, even for some high to medium competition keywords.

Well the hard work is over and there is a now a link service that is giving you links to 30 high Page Rank websites for you to place your links on every month. The absolute best part about these links is that the sites they provide will give you a "follow" attribute. The best part is these 30 links will cost you only $5 a month!!

What You Get For Your Money!

This link packet arrives usually the first few days of the month and is a full color PDF file that shows you with full color screen shots and step by step instructions on how to sign up at each site and check the accuracy of your links on that page. As a nice addition there is also a link in the pack itself to each site that you can click and be taken right to the site itself.

How Long Will It Take To Place 30 Links?

It takes me normally 2-3 hours to get through the whole pack of 30 links. After i do the pack once i do it again using a IP hiding service and do it again for another article or domain a week or two later.

Although it sounds to good to be true these links actually work and have been helping my articles rise in the search engines for some very competitive keywords since i began using them about three months ago!! In addition a few of my articles are now PR 3 and one is a PR 4!!

Learn more about these links at http://www.dseventures.com/backlinks

In the next few days i will give you some tips i discovered about using these links for maximum effect!

My New and Effective Article Marketing Strategy For Clickbank Products

2009-08-14T17:42:00.012-05:00

I recently have started to change the way i article market. I used to just blast out a bunch of articles per niche at ezinearticles.com and hope for the best. While this system worked it just was not something I wanted to keep doing, mind you I was writing about 150-200 articles per niche myself to save money. Sales from this system were OK but sporadic at best. I was redirecting the traffic right to the sales page with little else.

I needed Something New

I was thinking of ways to get away from this method but kept drawing a blank, everything i read says blast out articles as fast as possible right!!

Well i strayed from the normal advice and it has been paying off nicely with a sale happening at least every day. As i write this I have made $69.17 On Clickbank so far today and am averaging around $50-$60 per day now. Not guru earnings but enough to change my life and improve the life of my family.

What Have I Been Doing to Bump Up My Sales

Well to start most of my sales are coming from only 10 articles, yes only 10 articles!!! Now on to what i am doing, although i won't reveal it all i will give you enough to get you going.

I started by finding an article directory that was showing up for Google searches in my niche and one that was low key enough to be able to bookmark at the popular social bookmarking sites!! Just search for some keywords and look, you may have to jump back a few pages to find the lesser known directories.

For keyword research i recommend and use digging for gold

Next i wrote 10 articles around some competitive keywords that got at least 5000-7000 searches per month. I also picked keywords that were people looking to get advice. For example instead of writing an article about weight loss i would write about losing the last 5 pounds or something like that!!

I also rewrote these articles and did submit them to ezinearticles.com as well as the lesser known directory that i found.

The articles were only 350-400 words and followed this format

1.state a problem
2.make the problem worse with an example
3. tell them one tip how to fix it
4. offer the solution in my resource box

I used the old article marketing tactics. bullet points, sub heading and two or three sentence paragraphs.

When The Article Were Done

I then bookmarked each article.This is where finding a low key directory is important. Most bookmarking sites have blacklisted ezinearticles but some lesser known directories can be bookmarked with no problems.

Next i used profile links at popular web 2.0 sites

For every site i signed up at i would do a full profile, upload a picture and then write my bio with two keyword anchor text links in my bio pointing to my articles at ezinearticles and the other directory i used. It worked like magic. In fact these links are responsible for me ranking for some very tough keywords!

What Are Profile Links

Profile links are links at popular sites like plaxo.com where you get a personal blog or profile page where you can leave a bio with an HTML anchor text link. Just make sure to write a good bio and not just plug in your link. Keep the links to about one or two per profile. Make sure to ping the profiles you create at www.pingoat.com

Next was the big booster that has worked like a charm.

I used two tools for this step.

The first is Magic Article Re writer and the second is Article Post Robot.

Magic Article Rewriter is a semi manual article spinner that is jammed full of features. What you do is enter alternate words in brackets and the program will generate article from those alternates.

for example you a sentence would look like this i need to {buy|purchase|get a hold of|grab|get} a new {car}automobile|ride|set of wheels} very soon.

There are so many features in this software thats it blows the other article re writers like power article re writer out of the water.

To see it in action check out this video

The developer of this software also offers an article submitter. It works OK but only submits to directories that use the articledashboard software so you are limited some what when compared to article post robot. But it does sign you up automatically which is a nice feature!

Once your whole article is set up like that you can either hit a spin button and make as many unique articles as you want or do what i did.

Once I Set The Article Up To Spin

I then take the whole article with the brackets in place and paste them into Article Post Robot the leading automatic article submitter that can submit to over 400 article directories and spin them as they are submitted.

I set the software up to submit to only directories with a minimum page rank of 3, that worked out to about 55 directories. What these two tools combined allowed me to do was to submit 55 unique articles that had spun article bodies,titles,resource boxes and article descriptions effectively submitting a unique article with a unique title,description and resource box to each directory..

At the end of each article i used an anchor link that was the keywords i wanted the articles to rank for. I pointed this anchor text link to my 10 articles at ezinearticles and the other 10 at the other directory i used for high rankings. In a short time of doing this my articles on both directories were climbing up the Google ladder and i have some that are on the first page of google out of 44,000,000 sites and some of my articles even have a PR 3 and 4 now!

Cool thing is that the traffic from the other directory is about the same as ezinearticles, so it is possible to get traffic from somewhere other then EZA!

So basically i wrote 10 very well written money making articles and promoted the heck out of them. In addition i also took some spun articles and submitted to popular web 2.0 sites like zimbio,wordpress,blogger,wet paint,squidoo,hubpages, ETC and pointed links at these sites at my money articles, my main site and each other!

Where I sent Them When They Clicked Through

My landing page was a real simple page were i put a paragraph pre selling the product and a picture of the product, under the pre sell paragraph i put a click here for more information button. that's it. I am converting one out of every 25 hops with this system and enjoying more free time to boot.

To tune this system I write and spin a new article a week that links to my money making articles and mass submit it with APR, I add a few profile links for each article, and add a post to my blogger and wordpress blogs once every week or two. Other then that the rankings are sticking and traffic is growing.

I know i was brief and If I was unclear about anything i wrote please feel free to ask me a question and i will do my best to try and explain in more detail for you.

This system goes against popular thinking and uses no list to generate sales. I do plan to add a list at a tlater date and see how that ramps up my sales. But until then i am happy with my progress!

Just a Quick Update and a Link To a Free Article Writer

2009-08-09T19:36:00.005-05:00

Its been awhile since i last posted and i must say things are going very well. I picked up a local SEO job for a mortgage/real estate company and was able in a very short amount of time to get them on the front page of google for some very competitive terms and beat some of the large local companies in the process!!

So to my surprise i guess I do actually know something!:)

I also picked up a job to start a mortgage blog for a good friend of mine for $500. Should be about 5 hours work to get the blog and 15 SEO optimized posts up and bookmarked.Not bad money for the price!

As far as the clickbank earnings are concerned they have been doing well and I am averaging about 1-2 sales per day over the course of the month. for a amount fo $25 to $50 per day.

I have not been article marketing much or doing much of anything to promote my clickbank stuff and need to pick it up to increase my earnings a bit. My goal is a consistent $100 per day. I did just outsource my first batch of 10 articles and am waiting to see how that goes.

This is really just a post to touch base again and let yo know i am still here.

But i also wanted to share with you a FREE product i found that helps you write articles quicker. There is no catch, just opt in and grab your product.

www.articleassistant.com

I have no affiliation with the product or its creator but i do think its a cool piece of software and wanted to let you know about it!

Anyways I will be back to share a few tips I have discovered over the last two months thathave helped me rank a site faster!

My First $100 dollar day on clickbank

2009-06-16T09:15:00.004-05:00

I had my first $100 dollar day on clickbank and managed to do it two days in a row. All it took was some promoting of my articles and sending visitors to a review page instead of just redirecting. Although as i write this post I have no sales but its early so hopefully I get a few today! Nothing worse then those clickbank zeros!!

Gaining More Traffic From Your Articles at Ezinearticles.com

2009-06-09T12:29:00.007-05:00

Recently like alot of people my click through ratio at ezinearticles has decreased meaning I have less traffic coming to my sites and offers then i use to. Alot of people including myself feel it is the new adsense ad layout that is underneath the article title. It is now 3 large ads smack dab under your title, i think alot of people see them and click away before they read your articles.

I figured there had to be a way to get people to notice my article instead of the ad boxes. I came up with a simple but so far effective way to get the readers eyes to my articles.To test this theory i started a new pan name account under my main account at ezinearticles.

What I tried was For every article i put a bold headline In bold italics right at start of the article. The headline was written like a question the reader my want to find the answer to.

For example for the weight loss niche the headline could be-

"Do You Want To Lose That Last Five Pounds Fast?"

I also did some resource box tweaking and with this new account I have 40 live articles since April 28th and have 2099 views and 520 click through for a CTR of 25%. This CTR is with a few articles not having my new resource box layout and dragging it down slightly. I actually have one article with a CTR of 65%!!!!

My next post will be on what I am doing to get those 25% CTRS on my new account as opposed to the 16% my main account with just under 600 articles has.

Make Money With Clickbank-My Bum Marketing Plan That Is Simple and Will Work For You!

2009-05-30T17:52:00.011-05:00

How To Make Money With clickbank and Bum Marketing

Here is a simple plan that I have been working on that I will be implementing very soon for my clickbank niches.The goal of this plan is to dominate lower competition keywords. If done correctly you could literally own the first page of Google for some keywords!

This is not a million dollar campaign though and may generate a sale or two per day or more or less depending on lots of variables. But if you can pump one of these out a month you could easily be making $100 a day in a few months!

Where To Start

Start by finding a product you want t promote the best place to do this is at clickbank analytics here you can see products and locate products much easier then the clickbank search option lets you. I tend to stick to niches that rarely change and alot of people want. Weight loss is one, it never changes and people will always want it. Where something like the nintendo WII has a limited life. Choose you niches wisely so they last along time!

The very next thing you need to do is find 30 low competition keywords for your product that you think you can dominate easily. There are many ways to do this but i have found that googles keyword tool works the best.

The subject of keyword research can take up a whole book so i will leave it at that.If you want a few advanced keyword research techniques that are out of the box and very effective check out www.dseventures.com/diggingforgold

After You Have Your Keywords

Start out by starting a squidoo lense based around three low competition keywords in your niche. You can do more but i find that if written well and set up right three lenses work out well for me.

I try and setup my lenses around problem keywords instead of general ones. What i mean is set them up so they help people solve a problem. For example the keyword "How To Make My Belly Flatter" would probably peak more interest then "weight Loss"

To build a squidoo lense the right way I recommend One Week Marketing. It will walk you through a lens setup step by step and give you valuable tips that will help yo make money fast!

Once Your Lenses Are Built

Next by a domain name relative to your offer and use it to redirect to your clickbank offer. I use www.namecheap.com since they are reliable, priced well and let you redirect for free so no hosting is needed!

Try and get something that is related to your niche,if you are in the bowling niche a domain name like www.bowlingdomination.com would work!

Start Writing Articles!

Next I write 10 articles to link to each lense (30 articles total) and submit them to the best article directory on the internet www.ezinearticles.com first. Each article is roughly 250-300 words and will include an anchor text link to my squidoo lense and and regular old www.domainname.com with a redirect link to the offer i am promoting.

Once this is done I take these articles and rewrite each one 6 times. You can do this by hand or use a article spinner, i use Magic Article Rewriter its not free but it is very much worth it if you are serious about making money. Just remember to spin both the title and resource boxes to get maximum effect and google rankings!

When I have my spun article i submit them to the following article directories. Keep in mind you do not have to spin them all at once. I usually spin one or two a day due to time constraints!

www.hubpages.com

www.goarticles.com

www.articledashboard.com

www.amazines.com

I also will auto submit them to 100 other low PR directories once the articles are approved at the main directories. I use Article Post Robot to automate the mass submission. The great part is that you can load content in spinning syntax into APR and it will submit a unique article to each directory.

In Addition To The Article Directories

Next I start two FREE blogger blogger blogs and post one of the spun articles on each one. This gives me two free blogs with 30 posts each at the end. You can use wordpress as well but i prefer blogger and its ease of use. Plus i get less spam comments from blogger blogs

Bookmarking Your Blogs and Squidoo Lenses

I do not go social book marking crazy all i do is use the two most powerful social sites that i know of digg and propeller.I digg each blog post and squidoo lense also I submit each post to propeller. At propeller get about 25 friends and join relative groups and share each submission with the groups and your friends. They will prop your story and get it seen more and ranking better.

Just make sure your titles are the low competition keyword you are targeting and usually these will show up in Google within hours.

Your post will get propped and usually rank well in google and drive traffic to your blogs. Most article directories cannot be bookmarked so do not even try! Try and get as many friends as you can to help yo prop your articles. Submit some mainstream news stories every so often to avoid looking like a spammer

I also submit the RSS feeds from my blogger blog,article directories and squidoo lenses to the popular RSS directories

www.feedagg.com

www.feedage.com

www.feedest.com

www.zimbio.com (you can also start your own ezine here)

In addition I also submit both my blogs to www.blogcatalog.com this site alone brings in a few visitors a day so its worth , best part is it's.

Once this plan is complete I have 120 articles,two blogs with 30 pages each and three squidoo lenses,rss feed directories all getting traffic and making me money.

At this point I say move onto another niche and let this one run it course and see how the sales go.If researched correctly and using well written articles this plan should generate about50-100 hops per day. I will leave the campaign alone at this point but if the sales come in and If it looks good then write more articles and promote it more.

If it does not perform then all you have lost is time, and it should make a sale here and there so its not a total loss!

I will be posting some tricks i use for article marketing, blog set up and other things that help just a little bit!

Clickbank Article Marketing-April 2009 Earnings Update

2009-05-19T21:20:00.003-05:00

Well its been awhile since i posted last on my progressbut i wanted to report my earnings for April. It was not a very good month. Total profit for the month was $296.88

I did get hammered with an unusual amount of returns in April. The returns amounted to $85.90 so the actual sales for the month were $382.78 but the returns just pulled me down.

I kind of took it real easy in April and did not write that many articles. I am starting again and the sales for the month of May so far are $202.92 with no returns so far this month. So it appears as long as the articles are flowing out the money comes in.

I did have my biggest day online in May as well $73 and change from clickbank and $24 from another affiliate sales through paypal.

I am starting to think that this method of redirecting my domain to the merchants sales page may only have so much potential unless you have thousands of articles out there.

With that said I may switch over to CPA or actual products and article market those and see what happens.

I started to mess with squidoo and try and promote a product ont here. Hopefully that will go well and i will report back on that in the future.

Sorry for the short post but its nice here in Wisconsin and i gotta run outside and play with my kids!

Effective Tip For Finding Article Marketing Topics

2009-05-07T19:29:00.009-05:00

Just a quick and effective article market tip that i picked up from
digging for gold

Head over to yahoo answers and type in a keyword for your niche in to the Yahoo Answers search box.This will allow you to see what questions are being asked over there that relate to your niche.

Find a few questions that seem like people would commonly ask. Then using the yahoo answers search box put the question in the box and see how many people have looked for that question or related questions. If it seems fairly popular write and answer to that question.

Submit your answer in the form of an article to ezinearticles and other top article directories. Articles that have titles that include phrases like "How can I,How Do I,Will I,How To" Will do very well on the article directories and should drive you some decent traffic to your sites or blogs.

For example if some posts a question "How do I Lose Weight Cheaply" Your article title could be "Weight Loss Tips-How Can I Lose Weight Cheaply"

If you are writing for a new niche you are not quite familiar with You can even use the answers that were given to the question to help you write your own unique article,just make sure to rewrite it in your own words. This simple but effective strategy works well.

There are more useful tips like this in the New Keyword Research Guide Digging For Gold
