Go Get a Job…

That is, if you want to earn cash without spending any money then it’s a job you’re looking.

I mean come on! This is business. You have to invest at least a little before you can earn some.

An online busines without investing any money upfront? I must try that in the ‘real’ world. I’ll walk into a leasable building, start setting up shop and tell the owner I’ll start to pay them once I’ve earnt a few quid. Yeah right! If he hasn’t got the men in white coats for me with the hour, he’d be dumber than I am for expecting to start the business up free.

Technically you can earn money online for free. You could set up a blog on blogger for instance and make a few dollars that way through advertising or selling affiliate products. I just hate it though when people have unrealistic ideas of how this business works.

Ok, ok, rant over…

I’m gonna have to stop letting emails from prospects get to me

Niche Affiliate Marketing Group Launch Coming Soon

Marketing affiliate programs is how I make most of my online income and over the years I have become fairly proficient in driving 1000s of targeted visitors to my various online blogs and websites.

Much of my time is taken up building my web presence, including search engine optimization techniques, article writing and marketing, blogging and some other strategies. In doing this I get loads of free visitors from Google and the other top search engines.

Through my own experience I have discovered that it is much much easier to target visitors in less known niches AND even though the market is much smaller overall, I can still drive 100s or even 1000s of daily targeted visitors to my sites.

Given the competitiveness of the Internet marketing/home business arena, I wonder why I just don’t divert all my efforts to niches. I guess I must just love the ‘home business’ crowd:-)

Anyone with experience in Internet marketing can easily apply their knowledge over to a niche market with great results.

Of course there is more to it than can be put across on this blog.

So, getting to the crux of this post, I believe it is possible to show the average person, step by step, how they can set up and become profitable in ANY online market they choose to enter. The strategies and application thereof are exactly the same.

Over the coming weeks, myself and 5 other business associates, Ken Troyer, Cynthia Minnaar, Suzanne Morrison, Jeff Schuman and Jeff Casmer are going to be rolling out a new program designed to show YOU how you can excel in niche markets.

This new enterprise will be know as the Niche Power Group. You can find out more information and get on our advanced notification list by visiting the link below:

A Personal Guide to Google AdWords

I’m no expert on using Google AdWords but over the years I’ve used this type of advertising many times to drive visitors to my various websites and affiliate products.

Google AdWords campaigns are a great way to create instant traffic to your site but if you are not careful you could lose a lot of money in a very short time.

I didn’t learn to use AdWords from experience alone. I picked up a copy of Perry Marshall’s Google AdWords guide and took it from there. Perry is the foremost expert on creating and profiting from successful AdWords campaigns.

I will try to summarize here what I picked up from the course.

From what I have learnt, probably the most important aspect of a successful ad campaign is the ad itself. Google will allow you a short title and ad with which to encourage Google visitors to click-through to your website.

The way AdWords works is that they will increase the amount you have to bid unless your ad is relevant to our keyword phrases AND getting click-throughs. So evidently you would do well to brush up on your copy writing skills or even pay someone to write your ads for you. This may save you a lot of money in the long-term.

Many newcomers to AdWords believe they can just throw 1000s of targeted keyword phrases into their campaigns and drive visitors that way. This is a sure recipe for disaster and a lot of lost revenue.

Before your ad even goes live Google will check your text for relevancy to your keyword. If the relevancy doesn’t meet their standards they will bump the price per click you have to pay. In my experience this can move from 10 cents to $1 or $2 per click just because the keywords don’t match the ad.

Then when your ad goes live the cost per click will be high or low according to the amount of click-throughs you attain through your ad, IE. the more people that click on your ad the less you pay.

The way to increase click-throughs and keep costs low is to have keyword phrases in your ad. If you tried to add loads of keyword phrases under one ad then obviously you couldn’t follow this strategy.

I also encourage you to add more than one ad to each campaign. That way you can track which ad is drawing the most click-throughs and replace the losing ad. That way you can gradually improve your ad, click-throughs and subsequent costs.

Perry Marshall goes into this strategy in great detail. I HIGHLY recommend you get a copy of his course if you are contemplating starting an AdWords campaign for your business. At the very least you should pick up his free AdWords course over at this site:
Perry Marshall’s Definitive Guide to Google AdWords Course

Today, many AdWords users today seem to be targeting Guru names and targeted products in their keywords. You may have seen them, IE. ‘Don’t buy ‘PRODUCT NAME’ until you’ve read this report’ and ‘GURUNAME Scammed ME’.

I like the first ad but I would stay away from making allegations, even if it is only in an AdWords ad - to draw visitors to your page. With the first ad you could lead to your opt-in page offering an alternative way to make money online, IE. pips.

In short the better your ad and more click-throughs the lower you pay. Then you need to workout how may click-throughs is getting you an opt-in or sale. From this you can discover if your campaign is profitable or not.

Google AdWords is no for the faint hearted as even with some knowledge you can see the costs mount. I frequently pause my campaigns until I start to see some profits. I encourage you to do the same until you are confident in your abilities - and more importantly the results show - a successful and profitable campaign.

Warrior Forum Revamped

The Warrior forum has taken on a new look and layout which I have to say I’m really impressed with.

Given the attention and visitors this forum receives from the internet marketing fraternity, including some of the top names in the business, it’s about time that it was given a much needed overhaul.

It has turned into so much more than a discussion forum with the ability for members to post blogs and add each other as friends - to name a couple of added member tools. The community feel that has always been there has now been given the site functions to support it.

I have been a member since 2003 and have seen it grow tremendously since that time.
