You are in for a wild ride.
First of all, it is my opinion that you should focus on the referral side of the business initially, or the affiliate side. This side of the business is in the highly competitive “make money online” niche or “make money with affiliate marketing niche”.
So think of it this way, you are now targeting people (like you) that have turned to the internet to try to build a business from home, or “make money online”. There are many ways to do this. Learn, learn, learn. That is what you need to do.
How do people find your affiliate links?
Why would people sign up as one of your referrals?
Where would these people be hanging out online?
How much time are you willing to invest in learning about affiliate marketing online?
Start by answering some of these questions and making a plan. If you don’t know the answer to a question above, search for it. Learn how people search for information online.
Here is a STEP BY STEP BLUEPRINT (of course there is a lot more detail to these steps):
1. Learn what KEYWORDS are and why they are important to your business. Here is a link to a great resource in Wordtracker
http://www.wordtracker.com/academy/keywords
2. Build a keyword list to target. At least 10.
3. Create a free wordpress or blogger blog about yourself, why you joined Acme People Search and why you think you can help others. Make sure to have your Acme people search referrals links on there.
4. Create a HubPage and Squidoo lens built around each keyword (10 of each = 20). Make sure your HP and Squidoo lenses have links to your blog. There are differing opinions on this, but it is probably better to send them from your Squidoo Lens or HP to your blog, then to send them directly to your affiliate links. It also helps build credibility for you. You are basically beginning to brand yourself, and you have to start somewhere. So don’t think, “I don’t know what I am doing how am I going to help others”. You have to have the mindset of “I will help others and in the end, it will benefit me.”
5. Write 5-10 articles around each keyword phrase and propecia cost link them to your Squidoo Lens and HubPages. You should also link some of your articles to your blog. Your Squidoo lens or HP should provide more detailed information from the article and entice the reader to want to join your business or continue learning more.
6. Make sure to add all of your articles to your blog over time (start by putting at least ten of them on there in the first week or so, maybe 2 a day). Then make sure to add posts to your blog around your keywords at the minimum of once week.
7. Learn how to make videos and upload them and promote them using TubeMogul.com
8. This should be your 30-60-90 day plan…to get all of this done. By the way, you should be getting a steady stream of traffic all along during the process and you should begin making some referral commissions. If not, change your content. Test, test, test. Track, track, track.
Oh and by the way, YOU WILL NOT MAKE $3000-5000 A MONTH RIGHT AWAY. You will start by making a couple of hundred a month, and then $300 a month, and slowly build your income. You will only reach this level if you stay focused.
9. Once you are making some money, you can start using PPC (pay per click) if you want to.
10. Learn how to build your own email list with Aweber or another autoresponder service. This is a much more advanced marketing method buy kamagra online but essential to long term profitability as an online marketer.
If you commit yourself to performing this “active” steps to your success over the next 90 days, there is no reason why you can’t be profiting with your Acme People Search engine. By the way, all of the methods I mentioned above (except the PPC) are absolutely FREE!!!
Once you have dominated a niche, repeat the exact same process with another niche. Repeat again and again. 10 niches x $500 a month per niche = $5000 a month. At this level you can easlily invest 20% a month into “outsourcing” and get others to the time consuming work for you. Take another 20% for marketing and pocket 60%. 20 niches at $500 a month each and you are in six figures.
Of course, this is just one formula…there are many others.
Good luck with your marketing.
