I've got a plan. Think it'll work?

Well, I've recently found a cheap, but effective place to outsource my work (I'd give the name, but I got it from someones WSO).

I just want to see if anyone thinks this will be an effective plan.

I have 4 articles on an old domain on blogger with a few ezinearticles pointed at it (I'll move to wordpress soon... I just want a little more traffic first). Only one of thoes was an article targeted for certain keywords. It worked out ok. Here's my plan for improvement... (Also, its still PR0)...

Awesome Possible Plan:

I get six 300 word articles written on some longtail keywords with 200-500 searches a month in google. I then pay for 10 .edu and gov links from a trusted source.

After that, I pay for either a large number of profile backlinks, OR someone to post my website on their twitter multiple times to a large number of followers (The person has good feedback from past customers).

After all of this, if I saw success, I'd make a post trying to sell a clickbank product.



Does this seem like a good plan? Or does anyone see improvements I can make before I possibly waste money? :rolleyes:

    I wouldn't quit your day job - yet!

    However, if you start to see this as a beginning, instead of a 'set and forget' approach. It will work.

    Takes time and I think you will find you'll need more traffic than your plan will produce. But like I said, if this is simply the beginning - and you continue to learn, it will create an income if you give it time with more than one CB offer involved.

    Also, like Andrei says, you need to make positively sure you are providing great value.

    Good luck buddy, I wish you well!

    Why not try and do this yourself? Then if it works and you make some money reinvest that money on outsourcing, so the only thing you waste is your time. And if you learn something than that is not a waste of time.

      Time is money ... But also, I wanted to get someone who can write well with some expierience under the belt.

      Don't waste your money on stuff you can do yourself when you're getting started.



      Dump them - start fresh.



      Six? Just six? Are you kidding? If you want to actually *make some money doing this* you've got think a little bigger... 60.. or 600 - NOT six.



      This is the ONLY bit of your plan that has any value to it, sorry. Truth is truth.



      So the deal is this - if you got all this from a WSO, you've already wasted your money. On a one shot, it's highly unlikely to prove profitable. Duplicate it 10 x and you've got a shot of one of them working.

      Final thoughts

      If you really want to make some short term money (which is what the above "plan" is for) - have a look at the WSO thread and see what people are interested in... go do some research,m learn some information and put together some PLR product (QUALITY PRODUCTS) that target that market place.

      Then you start to build a list of QUALITY BUYERS -

      **Then** you can start with a plan that works.

      I haven't gone to wordpress because I don't want to spend money on hosting until I can just get a little more traffic than like 30 uniques a month. Once I hit 150 uniques a month, if I get that much, I'm switching to wordpress and will start out on wordpress for now on.

      Great tip about the outsourcing thing, I've got it countless times, and I agree to some degree. I've just found a good, inexpensive writer that I like.

      I already have the domain. I'm using the 6 articles as a start. If it does well in getting some traffic, I'd build more. I don't know why you'd want the passed ones to be dumped, not catching your drift.

      The only part I got from a WSO is a good place to outsource the work; everything else was my own thought.

      I'm not looking for short term money, I'm trying to just get this website to crawl before I make it walk. Baby steps of sort.

      Also, I'm thankful you gave me your time to help. Its very much appreciated.

      Its a website targetted at a small piece of the music industry; I know quite a bit about it so I figure its a good place to start. It will be providing value to my audience, I promise (Because I will still double check articles and make adjustements if I see fit).

      And after this all, I would keep putting up more content.

      Honestly, thats for some of the backlinks (If they have good reviews, can they really be that bad?).

      The articles are from an old writer I got in touch with on a freelance site (I can't trust fiverr for articles, I just don't expect quality but maybe its great... I don't know). The twitter is partly fiverr, and another guy.

          I wouldn't do any affiliate marketing on wordpress.org unless they have changed their policies. Likely to lose your blog.

          I'd say the reason for that is the keyphrase is in the title tag, beginning of the description tag, and it is the exact domain name itself. No one else on the first few pages even has two of those things right if they were targeting that phrase.

          I've also done this very easily with more than one domain by just doing the above 3 things. And with only a blank page on the domain that says the url in the middle of it - no blog or anything else.

          And they've been sitting there in Google for months. It has a lot to do with what your competition is NOT doing that allows you to get easily ranked domains like this. Obviously local markets like courier companies wouldn't know the first thing about seo - so it's an easy one to target.

    I have to agree with this. Yeah, sure the 6 might be a startb ut it kind of sounds like you are waiting to see if they work and if so you will expand upon it. But since 6 isn't really enough, it probably won't "work".

    So then what? Give up and move on to the next shiny thing?

    Much better to have a longer term plan like 60 or 100 articles and follow through with it to give yourself the best chance of success.

      No no, I wouldn't move on to the next shiny thing no matter how dazzling it may be.

      Also, like I said, I just want some sort of starting point. I'm not thinking 6 articles on a website with a tiny bit of SEO thrown at it is going to make me $200 and probably not even 10 cents. I just want to get a few more visitors than I have. I don't think I'm aiming to high for my hopes.

      Instead of shooting for the stars and reaching the moon, I'm just working on my space shuttle (I just made that up; I thought it was clever).

        Well that's good then. I just wanted to help you avoid the big mistake I made which was not putting enough effort into each project and, therefore, never giving them time to blossom.
