Hi, I'm currently not making much money at all from CPA, I'm doing email submits with video marketing but failing miserably at it. I've heard that building a website for an offer with a higher payout and doing SEO and Article Marketing is more promising.

I have recently been looking into Biz-Opp offers, I have found a really good one, that if I weren't the one promoting the offer, I would want to actually purchase the course. I do have a business plan for this, I cannot see myself failing, I'm willing to do whatever it takes to have consistent $50+/days.

QUESTIONS:

We'll start out with the questions.

When I create my website, how should it be? Should it be in the form of a blog? Would I be able to just copy the offer page onto my website? Is that recommended?

As you can see this is one of my biggest areas of concern, I'm not sure what exactly to put on the website. I've never made a website promoting anything before. What would be the ideal website for this?

About the domain name. Should it be a long-tailed keyword? Should I make it short and simple? Will this affect anything when trying to boosts its ranking in Search Engines?

SEO? I'm a complete newb here. Don't know anything about it. All I know is that it helps your website rank higher in search engines.

Are there any informational guides for newbs about SEO? What's the most efficient way to raise your sites rank quickly?

Backlinks? Don't really understand these. I think I might have the whole concept down, but I don't. I think a backlink is when you post a link to your website on another website? If I put my website in my signature on a forum, does every post count as a new backlink? (Need help here also, any guides on backlinks?)

Keyword Research? Are there any FREE guides on keyword research? I can grasp the main idea about keyword research but the little details can make or break a persons online business.

BUSINESS PLAN:

[Keep in mind I'm a 17 y.o. High School student. I won't have as much time as somebody that is doing this full time to promote my website and build links and everything.]

I plan on creating a website based around a biz-opp offer that I have already chosen which is offered by COPEAC. I am going to create the website once the above questions are answered. After the website is created, I'm going to take a day off and clear my head. (this is required for me because I get overwhelmed easily, but I'm also impatient.) After my day off I plan on figuring out how I'm going to go about raising my websites rank. After that, (same day) I plan to write a few articles (maybe 3 or 4) to start bringing traffic to my website. I will keep the article writing up every day with a minimum of at least 2 articles per day. Hopefully I start seeing some conversions at this point. After I receive my first months income (if any) I plan to put ALL of the money that I receive back into the website, outsourcing the Articles and paying for PPC traffic from Google and Yahoo. Depending on how the second month goes, I might do the same again. If the second month is good ($50+/day consistently) then I will only put a % back into the website and keep some for myself. I'm hoping that by the 3rd month that SEO work will have kicked in and the site will be ranked high enough for it to go fully auto-pilot and I can start working on a new site following this same plan (if it's successful.)

Tell me what you guys think about this, and what I need to change or implement in my business plan. I have never been successful in making money online. The most I've ever made was $11.05 (from the email submits)

[NOTE] My starting budget is little to none. I have about $20 to spend on this project at the moment. I'm guessing that money is going to go into buying the domain name and hosting.

There is a great *free* course called The Challenge that will answer almost all of your questions:

The Challenge

I might add that you should find a market first, and then provide the product they want ... not the other way around like it seems. They cover that too .

And congratulations for taking action!

Thanks man! I signed up for "The Challenge" a while ago.

I don't really want to follow a set day by day process.

I would rather create my own. However, there is some useful information in there.

What do you mean by I should find a market first, then provide the product? Wouldn't the market be Biz-Opps and the product be my offer? I'm doing CPA.

Hey IRunThis,
I am 17 years old too and am in HS!
I started out with Squidoo and made about $100 selling lenses there. I created some lenses there about iPad alternatives because I saw that it was a good keyword to go after. I ranked 1st with my lens for "Dell Inspiron Duo vs. Apple iPad". I then left Squidoo to pursue my own website which made $80 in adsense in its first month and a half. It is ranked on the first page for Apple iPad alternatives and on the 2nd/3rd pages for "iPad alternatives" or "iPad alternative". I get about 100 visitors per day right now which could be better however I am doing alright. I did tons of work on it with unique content and made some backlinks with my signature in several forums. I have only written a few articles with backlinks in them however. Now enough about me, now I will answer your questions.

1)Make your website a blog with different spun articles about Biz Opps.
2) If you are promoting a single offer, then the domain name can be longer but you want the searches for the keyword to be as high as possible with low competition. Remember that you should not violate any trademarks with your domain but you could say "TheBizOpp"Reviews.com or something like that depending on what your offer is. If you need any help in domain selection email me at FreshDomains@yahoo.com .

4)Backlinks : Check out this thread: Link Building 101
5) Keyword Research: Sign up for Market Samurai Free for 7 days they have free training videos too which are awesome

Well good luck. I hope you can learn what you need to learn. My biggest advice is to stay focused on one thing until it works. You will know when something just flat out doesn't work but you have to give it a try and stay determined on your goals.

P.s. Now I have gotten into domain flipping and it is great. I really think that you should try it out and I can give you some coaching too.

You don't need to feel confined by the Challenge training. But, again, it will answer almost all of your questions. It is a very good training course and will help you focus on what needs to be done in an order that makes sense.

Proper market research is extremely important, especially with a limited budget. Market Samurai is a good program that has a 40 day free trial or so for Challenge participants. And even when the full version has expired, you still have the free market research portion. Highly recommended.

The problem with Biz-Ops is that it is far too broad to start with. When I said "market", "micro-niche" would have been a better choice of words. For something as competitive as Biz-Ops, how do you intend to get traffic? Your budget really won't allow PPC as any failures will wipe it out.

I still think you should go through the Challenge. If you don't like watching videos, they also have the transcripts available for each session. Personally, I get bored watching the videos, and much prefer the transcripts.

Wow. Thanks alot man! This is everything I needed.

Abotu domain flipping. I only have $20 right now to invest in anything, I'm working on getting a Part-time Job so I would be able to invest weekly into online projects. I will definitely talk to you about domain flipping after I get some money to put into it (It sounds expensive to start)

I know that Biz-Ops is a competitive market. I plan on getting short term traffic with Article Marketing and PPC (After my budget allows)

I am also going to do SEO for my site using long tailed keywords so it is easier to rank them higher. This is for the long-term traffic.

I tried The Challenge already, it seems like a great course, but I have a hard time following day-by-day instructions. I get distracted very easily and somewhere along the 30 day challenge, I'll find myself doing something completely different, missing days, etc. This is why I have trouble following somebody elses plan step by step. I found that if I make my own plan, it's easier for me to follow because I actually have the vision in my head.

You have a big good self-will, I appreciate it. I can recommend you a business model if you have only few hours a day.

YOu can search online, about BUM marketing, it really works.

working with bum mrketing method is like you are a spider building your web around the net. The net will be your asset, will stay there 24/7 generating money for you.

With this model, I think you don't even have to be online 5 hours a day. you can take like 1 hour a day. It's very cool method I think.

My self-will wasn't always that way. I owe it to this forum for that. I used to be the average kid looking for get rich quick schemes putting all of my money into WSO's that claimed to do all the work for me. I learned the hard way, but I'm glad that I did because now I am forced to build up a business with no money to put into it. (All because of those WSO's)

This sounds like exactly what I need. I definitely don't have all day, I have about 3 hours a day that's guaranteed. I may have more but it's not guaranteed everyday.

Please tell me more about this "BUM marketing method"

You can PM me if you'd like, or just post it here. I'm getting off of here for the night, I'll be back tomorrow to see what everyone has suggested. Thanks!

It is not too expensive to start Only $8 is really all you need to start. You could give it a shot but just shoot me an email and I will explain it in more detail thelensboss@yahoo.com

Don't build a website around an offer, build it around a niche. Best of luck man, Go Pack Go.

iRunThis

Damn. This just threw me off. Now I understand what Marvin was trying to tell me. Biz-Ops is probably not the best niche to build a website around being new to making money online and everything.

Which Niche would you prefer me build a site around as a beginner?

If you're an impatient guy you must prepare yourself before getting started with SEO. When dealing with this model you won't get instant results, it may take a few weeks or even a few months for you to start seeing any profits. So don't give up too early.

Also, if you don't know exactly what approach to use to promote the offer I think that the best you can do is capture leads. Offer a free gift (can be a PLR report) and get people to sign up for your list. Then, market the offer with an autoresponder series and try multiple approaches to find out what's good. Maybe you will start the wrong way and won't get many conversions in the beginning, but you will be still capturing leads and will be able to use your subscribers to make money on a long-term basis.

Thank you william! I thought about this before. The only problem is that I heard that creating and maintaining a list is expensive and I don't have much starting money.

Are there any free websites that let you maintain a list?
