What Did I do !?

First of all you have to write something which everyone likes to read! If you cannot write something useful for your readers than write a catchy title and an article which you are damn sure many visitors would love to read! I blogged about my new car and opened threads in the forums listed below.

• Digital Point
• SitePoint
• NamePros

Here is what I wrote on the post

Hello friends !

I have started uni and it was the proper time to purchase a new car. I got a black Citroen C4 babe and everything is going excellent so far

It consumes 6-8 liters per 100 km and max speed is 219 (as they told me but gonna see it soon)

Thanks

Olgi

As you can see I also posted a link to my post and informed the members of the forums that they would find photos of my car on that link thats why most of them were clicking to see how the car was looking

After 24 hours I was checking my stats on WordPress and on Analytics and I found this:

WordPress

As you can see I got 130 views on my “I just bought a new Citroen C4″ post. It is a good amount of visitors if you compare it to the fact that this blog is only 4 days old. Below I’m also posting an Analytics Referrer screenshot

Conclusion

The overall idea of this post is plain simple, try to get visitors from any available source such as a forum you always post and you are an active member. I got 100 uniques in a day WITHOUT spending a cent and thats the best part of Marketing , getting the maximum by investing the minimum

Thanks for your attention

1. EzineArticles - PR 6
2. GoArticles - PR6
3. Constant Content - PR6
4. Article City - PR5
5. Buzzle - PR5
6. Isnare - PR5
7. Amazines - PR5
8. Article Alley - PR5
9. AddMe - PR4
10. Article Central - PR4

So start writing qualitative and unique articles and upload them on the directories above. I only recommend the ones mentioned above because its worthless submitting a good unique article in a PR 1 article directory

The best method to get much more traffic and strong backlinks is by modifying each article before submitting into the directories above. In this way the content won’t be duplicate and Google wont penalize you for duplicate content. Changing the title and re-writting the article is definitely the way to go, even though it might be time consuming.

Don’t forget that hard work always pay’s off at the end of the day

Have a nice time

Fully Working Website

When you apply for an affiliate program, an affiliate manager is going to review your website and decide whether you will get accepted or not. Most of the publishers do not have a complete site (having 404 pages , having a messy template or perhaps having your site down) so make sure, before you apply to check all of your pages and make sure you link them correctly from your homepage

Use @yourdomain.com

I have seen that many members aren’t accepted because they use free email accounts. To look more professional and to increase your chances of getting accepted, use admin@yourdomain.com. You can either use it for other purposes too or if you use free email accounts like Gmail or Hotmail then I strongly recommend you to add a redirection so you will get all important notifications at your email address

About Me Page

Most of the affiliate managers look at your “About Me” page to know you better and to learn what you have been doing online. In this way they will decide what kind of offers would they suggest to you after getting accepted. Not having an About Me page or having “Just another wordpress blog …” post would definitely decrease your chances of getting accepted

Content is King

You better have some unique posts written on your site before you apply to any affiliate company. The worst method is to copy articles from article directories and post them on your site. Some of the affiliate managers might do their due dilligence and you might never ever get accepted if they see you are using copycat material

If you would like special help to get accepted on NeverBlue or RocketProfit , just leave a comment below and I will be more than happy to help you out

Good Luck

In short, you now have a deadly tool-kit at your hands, one that will but guarantee success if you put the techniques in place. You should give yourself a few hours off, and then return to the guide and decide on a plan of action. The techniques can be used in isolation, or together, and it may take some time for everything to soak in. You may, for example, decide to write a pre-sell with a bonus and throw in the instant rebate for good measure. Expect your Adwords competition to try to copy you within a few days.

You could decide to source products with Affiliate Alert and CBTrends, and write articles targeting the brand name keywords (mixing the opportunist method with the workhorse method).

Perhaps you overhear an affiliate bragging about his success. You spy on him, and realise he is pushing a particular niche hard: you take three of the products is pushing, and run them through CBTrends. All three are on the rise so you set-up an affiliate diary and promote it on e-zines and Adwords and use the instant rebate method to super-charge conversions…

It’s up to you. But I do suggest you get started right away.

Two more things: firstly, I am going to be adding even more to Project X. Adwords Miracle almost quadrupled in size since it launched – and the buyers were always given access before the rest of the market. I have a lot more in store for PX, so watch this space. And a lot of the powerful stuff has been saved for last. I also have some big surprises that are going to come to PX buyers in the coming weeks – just as you see your first big ClickBank check.

Secondly, I suggest you check out the Project X affiliate program: one thing you will know by now is that the hotter the product, the better it converts. Since you have a launch copy in your hands, you should take advantage and ride the wave as early as possible:

One problem that affiliates always seem to have is that they want a “fool proof” way to make money - one that will allow them to quit their job and make a full-time living from affiliate marketing. Does that sound familiar? Well, if that sounds like you, I have a question for you: how bad do you want it? Because, I have exactly what you are looking for, but it involves a bit of grunt work. So, how bad do you want it?

Hold that thought…

Just imagine for a second… waking up at 11am for a relaxed brunch, and banking over $100 in near passive income everyday. It sounds great, doesn’t it? Well, I do it every single day of my life, and I can tell you it is utterly incredible (I am pretty vindictive and I love to find a breakfast bar near a train station and sit down at about 9am checking my e-mails while I watch everyone scurry to work).

Why do I bring all this up? Simple. Because this next method I am about to tell you involves some work, and it will bore the hell out of you when you do it - but if you follow my steps you will be making between $40-200 per day in affiliate commissions when you follow through, typically within 30 days of reading this sentence. 

And, yes, the work is dull and boring - which is why you must always have that image of me sitting in that breakfast bar, chilling out while I watch people like the old me go through the corporate ringer.

Now, this method isn’t stylish, and it isn’t clever, but it provides results and you don’t need any capital whatsoever to set it up - unlike some of my other techniques. But it will take some “brute force” i.e. work on your end, and that’s something you should remember. Just picture me, relaxed as hell wearing my casuals in that breakfast bar, checking how much I made in my sleep and you will do well.
Summary of the technique

This is a real idiot proof one. In fact, if you hear an affiliate bragging on an Internet marketing forum about how he is doing this for a living, there is a good chance he does this method in some shape or form. Basically, we are going to find a product with an affiliate program, then write several articles that rank well in Google (with a little link to the product we want to promote), get some free traffic for our work, and repeat the process. 

If we do this the right way (and it has to be done the right way - read on), and we repeat it enough times (a good number of times - how bad do you want financial freedom?), we will generate $40-200 per day in affiliate commissions with zero capital investment. And we will do it within 30 days of reading this sentence. Sounds good?

I will explain how it works, and how I do it - the rest is on you.
Find a product to promote

Note: you can use one of the other product selection methods such as “the opportunist” method, the “copy the best” method, or the “thief in the night” method here (all to come). I suggest you have a constant portfolio of products you intend to promote using these methods. Alternatively, you can use the following “general” selection method below – or you can use some combination of these methods to build up your “product portfolio” - this is a term I use to describe a short-list of products you are thinking of promoting, almost all the super affiliates I have spoken to on my travels have one of these. You need one too – and you can use the product selection methods outlined in this guide to build yours. Now, on with the “general selection method”…
The general product selection method

Head over to http://www.clickbank.com/marketplace.html and click on any category, and arrange the products by gravity. Then browse through and draw up a shortlist of 10-20 products that have a gravity of between 10-70. Above 70 and the product is already being marketed well, and less than 10 and the product has not proven itself yet (to generalize). 

Now, return to your shortlist and have a read through the sales letter of each product. Does the sales letter look persuasive? The “good” sales letters generally have a certain style to them - with lots of benefits (”revealed, the five
simple steps to catapult you to financial freedom!” - that kind of thing), lots of testimonials, and have a very “sales-like” feel to them. If you want to check out what a standard issue sales letter looks like, please check out the following
sites:

http://www.affiliateprojectx.com
http://www.adwordsmiracle.com *
http://www.horsebettingracingsystem.com
http://www.gotrythis.com
http://www.adwordsblackbook.com
http://www.butterflymarketing.com
http://www.keywordelite.com

*My two products. Not modest, am I?
Those are only examples, but you should start to see commonalities in the writing style (benefits, benefits, benefits!), and you should also note that the presentation is clean in all cases. Never promote a product that is not presented well. There are plenty of examples I could give (anything on Clickbank with a gravity of over 50 has quite clearly proven itself with good copy), but those are ones that I like – and they all demonstrate persuasive “standard issue” sales copy. Take note.

That’s our due diligence done (we aren’t going to commit too much to refining the list down at this stage), and we should now have a shortlist of the 10-20 products we want to promote. We will whittle this list down as we move through the stages so we don’t need to be laser-focused to start.
Do your Keyword research

Remember, when we write our articles, we are going to get the majority of our traffic from search engines, largely Google. The reason for this is that Google tends to rank articles on the sites we will be posting on well. You will also get some residual traffic from Yahoo and MSN, but experience shows that it is best to focus on Google and get some secondary traffic by chance, rather than the other way around. 

We find keywords that are relevant for our product, write articles based around those keywords, and get free traffic off the back of Google and the articles site – if we repeat this process enough times, we will generate substantial income. This method has allowed many affiliates to quit their jobs and work from home. Its slow and painful, but a “fool-proof”, zero capital way to make money as an affiliate. If you hate your boss, have lots of time, and little capital, this may be the one for you. 

When you use this method over and over, you will become a master at keyword research. Researching keywords several times per day has a habit of doing that to you. When we choose to promote a product, we are often going to be at a complete loss as to what the relevant keywords are. Quick question: what does someone interested in learning how to play golf search for? I am
sure you can come up with a few ideas, but after 5 or so terms you probably run out of steam.

Now at this point I want to slide into a little sales pitch: if you are really serious about this method, then I suggest you invest in Keyword Elite - I offer a series of advanced training videos for anyone who buys the product via my link – see http://www.killyourjob.com as mentioned earlier. If you can’t afford to shell out the program, at least not yet, then read on.

There are a number of ways to collect keywords for our product, and I tend to take a “scatter gun” approach to draw up keywords and then filter them down later. Once more, this is not an exhaustive list, and it is not a “clever” set of steps, but as I say this is a brute force method that works – not a sly workaround.

1. Check out the affiliate page of the product – see what keywords the merchant recommends you promote his/her product on. But don’t stop there.

Very often the product vendor will have an affiliate page with relevant keywords on it - these are intended for Adwords advertisers, but they will work just as well for our keyword-articles. There are two points to bear in mind here. 

The first is that you should also do a quick search for competitors and look at their affiliate pages too (very often they will have different keywords that you can use). 

Tip: The second point is that most vendors will provide many vague, semi-related keywords that don’t convert that well. The rationale here is that the product vendor will have 1,000 affiliates all promoting his product across hundreds of keywords. By the time those guys realize that strategy doesn’t work and give up, a new crop of affiliates fill their place. Great for the product vendor, not so good for the affiliates.

2. Use Google and Yahoo’s suggestion tool
You can take a broad keyword and enter it into both Google and Yahoo’s suggestion tool - this will throw up new keywords for you to use (for example if you throw “google adwords” into Google’s suggestion tool, one of the suggested keywords is “make money with adwords”). You can head to http://pixelfast.com/overture for the suggestion tool. 

3. Browse resource sites
Take one of the keywords relevant to your product (the more general the better), and type “[keyword] directory”, “[keyword] wikipedia” or very simple [keyword] into Google. If we browse directories related to our keywords, we will see lots of “niche specific” keywords that we wouldn’t have hit on before. 

Wikipedia (the online encyclopaedia) is great because doing a search for the relevant term will very often bring up a list of other terms (along with an article with lots of keywords in it, many of which will be links themselves – so they stand out in the article). Finally, if we just type our keyword into Google we can peruse related sites and scour them for any keywords that we otherwise wouldn’t have found - very often we can draw up a shortlist of 50 or so possible keywords from these three sources in around 20 minutes.

At this point, we should have a list of 30-100 possible keywords for each of our products. We now need to filter these down to a manageable number - time for the next stage.

Tip: one keyword you are definitely going to want to target is the title of the product itself. In fact, writing a review or pre-sell and targeting the keyword of the title of the product can be very profitable for two reasons. Firstly, remember that anyone searching for the product is super targeted. Secondly, it is very often easy to rank well for the keyword of the product title as merchants have very few genuine back-links (they may have 100 affiliate links pointing in at any one time, but the site may well have a Page Rank of 0-2, It is not uncommon for a popular ClickBank product to not rank in the top
position for its own term. Many successful affiliates will write their pre-sell, add it to a site like USFreeAds or Ezine Articles and send Adwords traffic to that page. That way they get their Adwords clicks and organic traffic, all on the
same page.
Filtering your keywords

All keywords are not created equal. Someone searching for “project x affiliate guide” is a very qualified prospect, worth twenty times as much to me as someone searching for, say, “make money” (at least to me and my affiliates). 

If you were advertising on Adwords, you would pay possibly five-ten times as much per click for the former. Of course, here we aren’t using Adwords, and so we can’t throw up an ad and track conversions (and using guesswork to try and predict which keywords convert is ill advised). But, we can still use Adwords to our advantage.

Adwords can be a profit monster in the right hands. Anyone who owns a copy of my Adwords Miracle guide knows that. But, Adwords can also be a ruthless, cutthroat business. 

Anyone bidding on a keyword that doesn’t convert will generally pull his or her ad in a matter of days. Over time, only the profitable ads survive. For this reason, the ads that show up on Adwords for a particular keyword will give you a clear window into what the people searching for that keyword are after. If you have ever tried adveritising a product as an affiliate on a competitor’s keyword, you will know how difficult it is to maintain a good ranking. 

If we do a search for “Adwords Miracle”, we will see that nine out of ten ads are promoting Adwords Miracle (and I doubt the guy advertising something else is profitable). If we type in our keyword and look at the ads being shown, we can see what the people searching that key term are interested in (some would say the ads shown are more relevant than the organic terms, since the advertisers pay a heavy price if they are not relevant). 

The point: If there are several products similar to the one we are going to advertise currently being advertised, then it would be a good idea to target this keyword with our article. Because, chances are it converts for products like ours.

However, we are not done yet. While Google loves the sites we are going to use to create our articles, it does not love them more than well-established, hub sites. To give you a flippant example, we are not going to rank better than Google for the search term “google”. 

Likewise, certain terms (such as “poker”, “credit cards”, etc) are going to be insanely competitive and we have zero chance of even ranking in the top 100 searches for them with our article. We really do need to rank in the top ten for our term, and so we will need to go a bit lower down the tree to pick our keyword.

Of course, the problem with going too low is that we need some traffic i.e. we need people searching for the term that our article will show up under. Too low and we won’t get the traffic, too high and we won’t be able to compete.

But there are some gems – fairly popular terms that aren’t too hard to rank for – and we can find them.

The first step we need to take is to head to Overture (Yahoo)’s suggestion tool over at http://pixelfast.com/overture and enter the term in question. The figure on the right is the number of times that particular term has been searched for in the past month. 

We are going to want to target a term that has been searched for 300-5000 times per month, so if any of your keywords fall outside that scale, cross them off the list.

Now that we have the search volume down, we need to ensure that the term is not too competitive and that we are going to be able to rank on the search page. Google ranks web pages in a pretty funny way at times (I can’t summarise exactly how they do it in a book, if I could I would be charging $2,000 for Project X and people would pay)… but we can gauge roughly how
competitive a term by looking at the results that are currently in the top ten. And to get it right most of the time, that’s all we need.

Pay attention to three factors: Alexa rank, PageRank, and the title of the page. If you are a Firefox user (you should be), you can get a free extension called SearchStatus (http://www.quirk.biz/searchstatus) which will display PageRank and Alexa rank automatically for every page you visit - a great time saver. 

Just to explain, PageRank is Google’s method of measuring how many links point to a particular web page.  If all the pages in the top ten for our keyword have PageRanks of between 0-3 then, that is a good sign. If they are all PageRank 5 and up, that is a bad sign. 

Alexa rank is a rough measurement of how popular a website is - and the lower the number, the more popular the site is (Yahoo.com has an Alexa rank of #1, it is the most popular site online). 

Generally, if the majority of pages in the top 10 for our keyword have Alexa ranks of less than 100,000, that is a good sign. If there are more than a handful of sites with Alexa ranks of less than 20,000 then that is a bad sign. Finally, look at the title of each of the web pages - do the titles include the keyword in them - if so, there is a good chance that the page has been “optimised” for that keyword, i.e. the webmaster is deliberately trying to compete on that keyword, and it will be harder to rank for that term).

Provided our keywords have search volume of between 300-5000, and the competition isn’t too tough on Google, we have a keyword that we can target. Now, we can move onto the next stage which is creating the article itself.
Writing the article itself

If you’re like me, you don’t like hard work, which is why I am going to recommend that you always write articles similar to ones that have already been written. 

In very simple terms, if you are writing articles on “make money with adwords”, search for articles on that subject, draw out what the points you like and start to write your article. Your article really does not have to be genius, it just has to be a solid 500-700 word piece. Don’t just put out any piece of junk, and if in doubt, rely on others articles (copy ideas, but do not steal words wholesale – this is well within the law in case you were wondering). But then again, don’t think it needs to be Shakespeare. It doesn’t.

One important issue with the article itself is keyword density. Keyword density refers to the number of times a particular word or keyphrase appears on a web page. 

For example, if I write a 500 word article, and mention the keyphrase “make money with adwords” five times, then the article has a keyword density of 1%. I generally aim for a keyword density of between 3-6% - too low and Google won’t think we are relevant for our keyword; too high and Google will think we are spamming to get a good search ranking. 

You can copy and paste your article to check keyword density) at http://www.live-keyword-analysis.com/

You will also want to mention the keyword or key phrase once at the start of the article (in the first paragraph) and once in the final paragraph.

Finally, you will want to add an author resource box to your article - this is the *most* important part of your entire article (it is where you convince people to click through to your link, in this case our affiliate link). The resource box
should include three pieces of information: your name, the benefits of the product you are trying to sell, and a call to action. 

Study other articles that show under your keyterm and see how their resource box links – as I see we don’t get rich by being innovative.

Submitting your article

There are literally thousands of article directories to submit your articles to. And a beginner would think that the best thing to do is to submit your site to 100 of them. After all, the more sites, the better, right? Not quite. Google will
penalize articles that are same as others (called duplicate content), so it won’t endear us to Google. Moreover, many article site owners don’t like you submitting duplicate content. That said, you can still do it for some extra traffic, it’s just that Google wont rank you well for those articles.

I suggest you submit your article to one of three sites:

Ezine Articles ( http://www.ezinearticles.com), SearchWarp (http://www.searchwarp.com) and USFreeAds (http://www.usfreeads.com) - I suggest you sign up to all three and alternate between them - Google seems to love all of them (although USFreeAds is not an article site, Google loves it and it will work for purposes. You can submit ads for free, or become a paid member to speed up the process).

Once you have submitted your article, you should expect to show up on the first page of the results within a week, and you will generally stay there for between 3 weeks and 2 months. You will of course need to repeat this process to make it work - I suggest you write 3 new articles per day, using this method to make $50-200 per day within the space of 30 days.

If you do or do not decide to use this method (its a lot of work), be aware that is a “fool proof” way to make a living from affiliate marketing - and its there if you want it. 

You may want to use some of the tracking methods that I cover in Section 3 (so you know where your sales are coming from), and I suggest you cloak your links too, once more using the information in Section 3).

One constant about Internet marketing is that the newest products always convert the best – in my experience a product at launch may convert two-ten times as well as a product that has been out for a few months – and that is especially true if the product launch is massive. Generally the larger the Internet marketer behind a product, the more names he will hit as soon as he launches (some marketers can reach over a million names within the first week of launch via his JV network, hence the insane figures they do).

All this means, the “easy sales” have already bought by the time you roll into the market two months too late.

In a nutshell, timing is pretty important.

With that in mind, there are several techniques that you can use to source new / on the rise products, and then promote them using the methods I will cover in step 2.

Finding hot, new products

Firstly, it is time to return to our Hotmail account and check on the products that the gurus are promoting. By on large, many of the big names are going to be “ahead of the curve” when it comes to pushing a product. They get to launch the product most of the time, which means that you can spot the hot products a mile off.

Tip: if you see two or more gurus pushing the same product the same week as one another, chances are its new and there is money being made. It’s time to join them and share in the spoils.

A second tool way to find hot, new products is CBTrends (http://www.cbtrends.com). As the name suggests, CBTrends displays a visual graph of the Clickbank statistics including gravity, $/earned per sale and % referred.

Note: This is a slimmed down (but fully workable) version of the Rising Star method, which can be found in my Adwords Miracle handbook.

By now, you should be building up a constant portfolio of products to promote, using the many product selection methods in this guide. You may want to run any product you find CBTrends to see whether the product is on the way up, or on the way down.

You can do this by entering the product vendor’s account name into the CBTrends search page at http://www.cbtrends.com/vendor-search.php - pay particular attention to the gravity graph and the % refd graph – if both of
these are on the rise, then the product is going to get bigger and bigger.

You should run any products you have in your portfolio through CBTrends – if it both gravity and % refd are on the rise, then the product is about to blow and you should consider pushing the product hard over the coming weeks and months. I will return how we promote these products later.

In case you are wondering what a hot, on the rise product looks like, here is an example:

Note how the product is increasing in gravity, and rank.

This shows us that the product is on the up. As you can see, the sharpest increase often takes place when the product increases in gravity from 20-30 to 50-70. Typically a product that makes this jump is going to stay popular (few products, in my experience, suddenly drop down from 70 back down again).

As such, the greatest profits can be made promoting products that are rising up from a gravity of 20-30. This brings us onto the final, and most advanced of the opportunist techniques – this last one involves catching products at an even earlier stage, literally the first week that they are released. The third and final method to finding hot new products involves a tool called Affiliate Alert: http://www.affiliatealert.com . The professional version costs $50 every three months, which is why I suggest you start off using the first two opportunist methods and return to this one when you are already making some money with the Project X methods.

Affiliate Alert is a pretty cool tool that lets you search for Clickbank products by a series of indicators – including momentum and newness. In other words, we can see how fast a brand new product is selling – and jump on it while it is still insanely hot, getting in way before 99% of the market. If you have your own list, or are thinking of building one, ongratulations: you have just recouped the cost of this manual many times over, using this one technique.

We will want to search for products once per week, and choose the following search terms: “newer than six days”, and “rank on top of 20”. This will bring up a shortlist of 10-50 products that we can skim through and consider promoting, and adding to our product portfolio. You may also want to feed the products in question back into CBTrends to get a graphical view of how the product is doing.

With Affiliate Alert, we are concerned with one factor in particular: what is the rank of the product in question in its respective category. The higher the rank, the better. That said, bear in mind that all categories are not created equal. A product may rank in the top ten under the sub-category society > charity, and yet sell very few copies, as that is really not a competitive sector.

Tip: if a product ranks in the top 30 for its top-level category (i.e. “business to business” instead of “business to business > industrial” which is a sub-category), then pay very close attention indeed (it does happen half a dozen times per month or so and you can spot them a mile off on Affiliate Alert). These are products that have become big, fast, and you should take a closer look at the product – and seriously consider promoting it.

One more point: you will also want to quickly look at the % earned and $ earned categories to see if the product pays out a big enough commission to make it worth your while, but generally the rank is the most important factor to consider.

Promoting the product

If a product has proven itself as a rising star, on its way up the rankings, there is money to be made. The first thing that you should do is to start promoting the product on Adwords (using the “link cloaking” method detailed in Section 3).

What we want to do to start with is to only leech our Adwords traffic off the keywords of the product name in question; we can expand this keyword list and promote on more general terms if and when the promotion proves profitable. This should generate profitable clicks right away, and will continue to do so until the “me too” affiliates come into the market.

When that happens, you will find yourself pushed out of the market, and you will have to increase your bid (and at this point you will know if its worth doing so) and continue to send traffic through your cloaked link to the merchant page.

You may well decide to write a pre-sell using the “leech / art of the pre-sell” method – you can do this if you think the product will continue to be a star, and if the product launch was especially massive.

Tip: Affiliate marketing is a process, and not a destination. I suggest you periodically check back on your promotions and see how they are doing; check your return on investment and decide whether you want to continue your promotions with no change, drop the promotion, increase your bid but maintain, or create a full on pre-sell.

In the world we live in, having credit available to you is crucial, even whenever you don’t use it on a regular basis.

What do you do, then when something goes incorrectly and you end up with bad credit?

Most of us start out deficient to have dependable credit, but things just go incorrect.

In order to fix them, you need to apply repair credit.

However Credit repair is not easy.

There has no immediate answer.

You will need time and patience not to mention good habits to make it happen.

Your first priority is to stop using your credit cards, and began step by step reestablish clean credit.

Stop putting more on them.

You will need to talk to your creditors and ask them to help you.

They may be able to help you pay off your credit in several ways.

They perhaps glad to give you more time between payments.

They may offer to allow you to pay it off without charging additional finance charges if you agree to pay a certain amount every month.

Or, they may even allow you to pay off your credit for pennies on the dollar.

This means that if you owe a creditor $1000 they may allow you to pay it off by only paying $700 if you pay it off in a certain manner.

In the end, the only type of credit repair that will really improve your credit evaluation is time and good habits.

Steps

1) Get Keyword Elite
2) Find either a keyword / niche / product which may be profitable
3) Find an affiliate (or several) promoting on those keywords
4) Use the “spy” project in KE to watch the ad for a week
5) If the ad is running a week later, it is profitable. Quickly set-up an Adwords direct-linking campaign using the cloaked link method. Use the ad copy of the first ad to generate the same CTR.
6) Run it for 100 clicks. Profitable? If so, expand and tighten. If not cut.
7) Repeat this process – spy on as many competitors as possible at any one time. Have a “portfolio” of ads that you are watching.

The background

This method involves Keyword Elite, the sophisticated keywords / Adwords research tool developed by Brad Callen. As I mentioned earlier, Keyword Elite is a great product, and I promote it regularly as an affiliate. I use it even more regularly and if you want to really make good money from Adwords, then I suggest you consider getting a copy for use with the following method.

Before, I start, I should let you know that KE has five pieces of software to it, and each has its own use. If you want a full video training series on KE, you can get it from the review page I mentioned earlier at http://www.killyourjob.com. Couldn’t resist a cheap plug, but I really mean it…

One very underrated part of KE is the fifth and final project which is “Spy on Adwords competition”; the idea behind this tool is that you can keep track of the ads that your competitors are running. Why would you want to do this?

Well, the simple reason is that an ad that has been running for a week or longer is making money for the guy who is running it. There is one truism in life and that is, affiliates do not like losing money on Adwords.

In fact, the second that they start haemorrhaging cash to Adwords, they will pull the ad – often too soon. As such, any affiliate ad on Adwords that has been there for more than a week is going to be making the affiliate money.

As you can see by now, there are so many ways to research and promote products. What I like to do is find products and keywords I am considering promoting, and do a quick search on Adwords for some of the main keywords.

For example, if we do a search for “make money”, you will see that there are ten ads shown. Do a search a week later and the majority of the ads will be different. Why? Because the majority of people advertising on this untargeted, super-obvious keyword are newbies who go after the most competitive keyword out there, lose a lot of money fast, and then disappear.

On the other hand, if you search for a product title (such as “Project X”, or “Keyword Elite”, or “Adwords Miracle” etc), you will see that the same ads run day after day, week after week.

In other words, these are profitable keywords (remember how I said all keywords are not created equal). By on large, we want to find keywords with low ad turnover (i.e. lots of profitable campaigns running week in week out), and then run similar ads on that keyword.

Ideally, we want to find affiliates who are running direct linking campaigns for extended periods of time (i.e. they just link direct from their ad through their affiliate link with no pre-sell, and no review page).

If someone doing that is making good money, then there is definitely potential there for us to copy them and do the same. If we add 5 new ads a day to KE, then we will be adding 150 per month. If only 20 of those generate $5 profit per day (which is conservative on both counts), well… you see why I like this method.

In case you were wondering what Keyword Elite looks like, here is a quick shot of the “add keyword” feature. It doesn’t look like much is going on, but trust me, this is big…

The Method

Anytime you find a product you want to promote, do a quick search on Adwords for a few of the keywords – and build up a short list of four of five of the most popular key terms for that product.

For example, if we found Adwords Miracle, we might consider that four good terms to check out would be “Adwords”, “Google Adwords”, “ClickBank” and “Adwords Miracle”. I generally like to choose three high volume keywords along with the title of the product giving me four keywords to keep an eye on per product.

We then search these terms and look for any site that is promoting our product via direct linking / squeeze pages / pre-sell pages. Finally, we add them to “spy on Adwords” project tool in keyword elite, and let it run everyday for a week.

Any time you hit on a new niche, find a keyword you might want to consider promoting on, or find a product you like a look of, take a few minutes to repeat this process for the major keywords, and add a few new campaigns to the tool. By on large the cut-off period is seven days: if an ad is running for seven days you can be sure its profitable.

I generally like to keep a portfolio of 10-30 keywords at any one time. Someone on a forum might mention a product they are promoting, I do five minutes worth of keyword research, see some affiliate ads and add them to KE’s spy tool. You should do this five or six times per day, and every few days you will find a new profitable Adwords campaign to add to my roster. I strongly suggest that you do the same yourself – it’s a great way to spend 20 minutes per day.

Like I say, think of the spy tool as a portfolio that you can glance over every morning, scanning for campaigns that just keep running. Then you quickly test them with a small campaign (using the cloaking method to get around the double serving problem), and if they work, put a little more work into them.

Every so often, I see an affiliate has been running an ad through his hoplink for the full week, and I just use the cloaking method to set-up a new ad – on similar keywords as him, using a similar ad, and run it for 100 clicks and then check my sales.

Copying competitors means that you will find several profitable campaigns per week, and it adds up very quickly. If you commit to this, and continuously feed new keywords and domains into your portfolio, you can feasibly make between $50-100 per day within the space of one month using this method.

Tip: you may also decide to target any such keywords you find by writing articles targeting those keywords, using the methods in the “workhorse” method. In fact, if you like, you can do all of your keyword research using this technique: if an Adwords advertiser is making money even while paying for clicks, I guarantee that you will from traffic to articles you don’t even have to pay for.

Note: you will need a copy of KE for this. I suggest you order it from my link and get hold of the free video explaining how I do advanced keyword research with KE: http://www.killyourjob.com

There are plenty of affiliates who will brag about the fact that they are making $300-400 per day, or more. These same guys will often post on forms regularly, and have some of the sites they are promoting in their signatures.

If you ever see a thread in a forum entitled “how much do you make per day?” (a regular theme in many money-making forums), have a browse through and look for affiliates claiming to make $100/day and up. As I always say, the product you choose to promote is the most important aspect of any given promotion.

So, what we are going to do here is try and find out where this guy’s $100 per day is coming from. We then clone his promotions and take a cut for ourselves. The best capitalists are very often the least inventive.

The way we do this is by heading to Google and typing in his or her hoplink plus “clickbank” or “hop” – this will show us any articles or websites that have this affiliate’s hoplink in e.g.
“awmiracle hop” or “awmiracle clickbank”
Please note that product vendor account names can be used as hoplink, and this will make it tough to filter out what the guy is promoting as an affiliate, and what are his vendor links (with affiliates promoting him). 

That said, in most cases, the affiliates we target will not be product vendors and/or they will use a different hoplink for their affiliate promotions anyway. Also, note that this method isn’t exhaustive – it won’t pull up every promotion the affiliate is doing – but it will bring up quite a few.

Surprisingly, most affiliates will have one Clickbank account for all their promotions, or at least a couple – and you will see a lot of what the affiliate is promoting. 

We can build a short list of 5-50 super affiliates who we spy on, and let them do the product research – then we just check back in every few weeks, and see what they are pushing recently. 

Then we copy their products and promotions and share in the spoils. I have successfully cloned ten or twenty such affiliates over the last few months, generating me a sizeable additional income (and saving me hundreds of hours of product research).

This technique works especially well with affiliates who promote heavily via article sites such as Ezine-Articles or USFreeAds - for the simple reason that Google loves these sites and will index their pages very quickly. If you notice that an affiliate has three or four articles on the same product, then he is very probably making money from them – so, guess what…

We copy what he is doing and start promoting the same product. You may want to do some research on the product in question and consider promoting it via articles (targeting similar keywords to our super affiliate, why reinvent the wheel?), or possibly on Adwords (you can run an ad on the keyword that the affiliate has targeted with his article and see how well it converts, if you get sales, you can then write an article, and possibly even leave your ad running if the conversions hold up). 

Look at the keywords he is our targeting with his ads, and see how many views the article has received (this will be displayed somewhere for pretty much every article site).

If you want to promote the product on Adwords (if you see our affiliate is up there, or just like the look of the market), I suggest you use the Copy the Best part 2 methods, which is coming up now.

What’s online money making all about?

There are a number of ways to make money on the Internet. Let me broadly categorise them into two. The first category is where you sell your own products and services directly (ebay.com, perfumeshop.com etc) online. In this case your primary business is to sell the products where as the web is only a channel to sell.

The second category is where you do not own any business but you are primarily an Internet user who could potentially promote others’; business without spending any money or a lot of time. Now, this is our area of interest where you don’t need to set up an office, store or warehouse but help others to sell their products.

What I mentioned above is just one of the mechanisms of making money. If you are willing to spend more time, have the habit of blogging/providing Internet content or addicted to reading stuff online you could find a lot more ways of making money.

Who can make money?

Anybody who knows how to use a PC to browse the web can start making money. On the other hand if you are little bit more experienced or already blogging/providing content you can make a lot more money. If you are a professional like a technical writer, you could work from home and make a lot of money - probably as much as or even better than what you could make if worked for a company. So any of the following categories of people have enough potential of making money.

1) Internet Dummies: Who knows just how to browse the net, send an e-mail etc.
2) Experienced Users: Who knows how to search content well, can blog or provide content, answer to online queries in forums etc.
3) Very Advanced Users: Who could write scripts, manage the page contents well and optimize their web pages.
4) Content Professionals: Editors, Proofreaders, Technical writers, content creators etc.

What does it take?

In most cases what it takes to start making money is access to a computer that has Internet connectivity. You may need an email address of your own and should be able to spend a few minutes or couple of hours in front of your PC.

Please read Different ways of making money now where I will talk about a number of options through which an online user can start making money.
