Where is the Best Place To Start

Yes a tough one. Do you already know what you are good at? Do you already know what you enjoy most? If you do, do you know the best way to promote it uniquely? When do you need to be making money by? What step do you need to accomplish to make that money? Do you know realistically know how much time it takes to make it happen? Do you know how much time you have to invest? Do you know what your long term goals are? First I would say you need a business plan and really only you can answer what it is you should do.

Perhaps do a little goal analyzing and search what needs to be done to accomplish those goals and do you have what it takes to reach them (money, time, commitment, attitude).

This is one way to do it.

Start with keyword reserch. Market samurai is perfect for this, but you can use the free keyword tools that google offer oline.
Find a keyword phrase in quotes "" that has under 50,000 competing pages and at least 80 searches a day.
Find 3 related keywords that you will use as categories and tags.

Register and host the domain. Godaddy are great for domain registration and hostgator are fantastic for website hosting. There are other provides, but I've had the best results with these two.

Install a wordpress blog. You can't go past wordpress direct. Installation of full SEO blog, setup correctly, takes around five minutes. When you are setting up a new site, don't waste time drying to pretty it up. If you have a look at flippa's just sold section, especially sites that sell for over $1,500 notice how most of them are just simple looking sites. There's a reason for this and that is, they work!

Just choose a simple and clean template inside wpdirect, it's all you need.

Setup and adsense account with google and enter the code in wpdirect. This is all you need to test your new site and you'd be surprised at how well adsense works at making money.

Now, read this twice! DO NOT ADD ANY OTHER ADVERTISING OF ANY KIND TO YOUR SITE AT ALL!

Read the above sentence again.

I know you see it in start up sites all the time, where every square inch of real estate is filled with some sort of offer. This just leads to distraction and in the end, your visitors end up clicking on nothing and leave. You don't want a site full of bells and whistles. Have a look at sites you like to visit and take note of the layout.

Just leave it at adsense for now. As the site grows and you are happy that it's working, you can replace it with an affiliate offer if you want.

Once your site is up and running, you will want some content on it. Now to start with, you will be testing your new site to see if it will actually work in your market, so you don't want to invest too much time or money in the testing phase.

Inside wordpress direct, you can set up the site to automatically grab youtube videos for all of your kewords. Set it to post once a day, that' all you need.

Now, for each video that is posted, write a brief desription of around 100 words and include your main keyword and every so often, one of your other keywords. This is your unique content.

Now that your site is up and running, you need google and the other search engines to know you exist and tell the world to come and visit you.

You can do this with social bookmarking. Take your first three to six posts and add them to social bookmarking sites, including: digg, mixx, dilicious and stumbleupon. These will be enough for the search engines to find you and index your site.

The final stage is to build some backlinks to your site. Quality backlinks will move your site up the rankings and onto the first page of google, where all the fun happens.

The best way to do this is by posting comments on other blogs and forums that are related to your own niche. The key here is to actually contribute to the conversation and not just bombard people with sapam just to get a few backlinks. It won't work.

The temptation when starting a new blog is to build things as quickly as possible. It jsut doesn't work like that. Slow and steady is the key. Google finds it suspicious when a site, particularly a new one, all of a sudden receives hundreds of links. It can land your site in a mess of trouble.

I have used the above method a few hundred times now, to setup and test new sites and if you follow the steps, within a few weeks you will see results and know if you have a site that could work.

Of course you can spend a ton of cash and try and make things happen, but most of the time you will be wasting your money.

All up this costs around $15 to set up each time and you usually see results in a week or so.

If at the end of the day, you decide you don't want the site, sell it on flippa for $100 or more.

Anyone that can use a computer and search in google can do this. I'm a drummer and worked it out, so it should be easy for you.

Over the 2 years or so that you've been here, what methods were the most appealing to you?

What sticks in your mind?

What do you know?

What do you think you know?

What don't you like to do?

What do you know about the things above?

All the best,
Michael

I'd suggest making your own websites selling other products, like on clickbank. Once you get some money coming in then use that capital to launch a product that is all your own.

Best in my opinion is to create your own products.

If I knew everything I do now, 2 years ago - thats what I would do.

Go to the WSO section.. there are 2-3 WSOs there that are about product creation - one is a really good one.. I think its $27 or something.

Seriously consider it. Think about passive income. You do all the work now, and then keep profiting for months to come.
