Want to start my IM career in a week

25 replies
Hey guys,
This forum has been of great help so far. I recently decided that its time to put my knowledge of IM into use. I purchased Market samurai recently. Wonderful software. no doubts. Im planning to target keyword phrases with low competition and decent amount of traffic. Say around 30k visitors per month. So basically im going to get the articles typed by outsourcing them and put them on wordpress and submit them on other websites and put adsense on my website. And try to rank on the first page of Google for that keyword, as there would not be much competition for that keyword. Im planning to target keywords which pay around $1-$2 per click on adsense. So that way, even if i get around 3-4 clicks a day, it is good enough.

Does this plan make sense. Or should i follow the trend of clickbank and amazon. Does is make sense to put up articles on my website just to make money from adsense? Really need some advice on the same.

Cheers
Hardik

    It really just depends what can you stick to. Is it going to be worth it for you to write articles and post them everywhere and maybe get 3-4 clicks per day which might earn you $30 - $80 each?

    This is not something we can not answer for you. With any business there is going to be some unknowns and risks involved (if nothing else wasting your time).

    This reminds me of the part in Alice In Wonderland where she comes to a fork in the road....You have to know where you are going before you know which way to go.

    If you want to be an Adsense Marketer then go that route and perfect it!

      Adsense can be lucrative but like ppc marketing, you have to perfect it over time, and use great software to automate the process. If you plan to buy articles, there is a point at which it will only make sense if you purchase, say blocks of 25 or more articles at one time.

      You may see yourself paying out a good $500 a month and earning only $200 /m for a few months. Are you prepared for that? If "yes", then you can certainly make money as an adsense marketer. Many marketers who are now pulling in $5K or more / month from adsense took a loss in their first year.

      All the best,

    3-4 was just an example. What i wanted to know is , the method im following, writing articles for adsense marketing is fine or not. because these days everyone seems to be buzzing about affiliate marketing.

      Personally, I'd stick w/CB and/or Amazon, simply because if you're going to put in all that work of having to outsource the article writing, article syndication, etc.,etc, I'd want at least a higher return on my time invested and w/adsense, I just don't see that happening.

      Then again, if you really can find those keywords where the cost-per-click is between $30 & $80 like you mentioned:

      "...I'm planning to target keywords which pay around 30$-80$ per click..."
      The worse thing you could do is put a web site, upload a few good, well-written articles, do a little back-linking and after a week or so, see how the traffic is and whether or not you're getting any clicks on those ads.

      If you do, then simply rinse & repeat! If you're not, re-evaluate the site and see how you can improve on it.

      AS the old saying goes:

      If at first you don't succeed...test, test again and then test even more until you get the results you're looking for!

      Whatever you decide to do, make sure you have a plan and follow it. A lot of the time marketers have plan, it doesn't work so they move on. And guess what? It happens again, and again. This is the main reason people fail.

      You need a plan (Sounds like you've got one), you need to apply it and you need to keep an open mind. When things aren't going your way iron out the creases and adapt the plan until it does work.

      I can't say whether your plan will work or not becuase it's not the model I use. Only personal experience can answer your question.

    This is the method im looking to follow:

    1. Select a niche.
    2. Looks for a main keyword with low competiton and decent traffic and also low SEO competition.
    3. Look for sub keywords and long tail
    4. Get around 7-10 articles outsourced for the keywords.
    5. Buy a domain related to my mainkeyword eg: mainkeywordxx.com
    6. Set up wordpress and submit all these articles.
    7. Apply for adsense account and put up adsense in wordpress.
    8. Submit the artilces to ezine and other article submission websites.
    9. Slowly create backlinks.
    10. Follow the same procedure for another niche if it works.

    Does think make sense or its just rubbish?

    Hey guys,
    Wanted some more help. Dint want to start a new thread, so ya

    Im done with my keyword research, and i decided to go with keywords that are paying $1 a click.

    Ive selected one niche.
    Ive managed to find around 25 long tail keywords for the same. My main two keyword phrase are also long tail. One is a 5 word and another one is 6 word keyword. Rest are between 4-6 words keywords. Below is the image of my keyword research. Let me know what you guys think of it.



    I dont know how to go about with 25 keywords. How do i get articles written for these keywords. Should i club few keywords for one article. Or get one article written for each keyword?. I was also wondering, should i be targeting all of these keywords under one domain or should be creating one domain each, or say club few keywords for multiple domains.

    Your reply and help would be really appreciated guys
    Cheers

      You definitely want to target one keyword with each article.

      Your example above underscores the difficulty you'll encounter in getting 30,000 monthly visitors (the stated goal you have) to your websites - all these long-tail keywords receive very little searches, and you'll literally have to target hundreds if not thousands of these keywords to get anywhere near the amount of traffic you desire. Don't rely too much on the search figures above, there really aren't that many searches occuring for 5-6 word long-tail key phrases.

      If you're planning on outsourcing the article writing, the cost for doing this could be pretty prohibitive - just thought I'd mention this before you go full-bore on this project.

      Finding low competition keywords with 30,000 unique searches that pay $30-$80 is not exactly easy. But if you've found some, and have exact match domains, your plan seems okay.

      let us know how it goes.

    thanks for link crosby.

    And im not targeting 30$-80$ anymore.. have a look at the image. Those are the type of keywords are looking to target.

    Hardikvg, that's a great to-do list, however have you actually tried searching for low competition keywords that have high searches monthly? If it were that easy don't you think all 250 thousand people on this forum would have been doing that by now? Just curious about your how-to plan instead of the to-do.

    What methods do you have to research? Which software are you planning to use? You're planning to submit 7 articles? There have been people on this forum that have submitted more than 40 articles and still have no traffic so what will you do differently then them?

    Good luck in what you are doing and hope everything works out. There are some long tailed keywords that will work well if it is a niche that you have knowledge in and is not over saturated.
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[3179352].message }}
    • Profile picture of the author mickster
      As has been pointed out, choose your keywords wisely. Just because searches in a keyword are oversaturated does not mean you need to stay away. Consider the niche, does it have a huge chunk of the market? If so, going with already saturated keywords wouldn't be so bad, after all you're aiming for a small chunk of an already huge market.

      You really need to go at this with a firm plan. Not one that is idealistic, but one that actually works (has been proven to work - you will find plenty of help here).

      Make sure once you have your plan, you follow it down to the last T. Don't take shortcuts and skip steps, that probably won't end well. Unless you're going for paid traffic, then be patient and work at building your list hard. Free targeted traffic is harder to get, but definitely not impossible.

    Uh....sorry, but this ain't gonna fly. My wife and I have had Adsense clicks on the THE HIGHEST keywords possible - loans, drugs, legal, etc. etc. etc. You rarely get the big clicks and the highest paid click we ever had was $39 ONCE! We have some blogs in the highest paying niches and the average click pays $1.37 in slow season, $2.34 in the hot season.

    So that is not going to happen.

    Your traffic method described won't work either. The tools and methods will never create the income you are talking about here, in this time frame.

    You need to understand the reality of the slow and gradual traffic growth no matter what tools and systems you use.

    You can get to 30K but you will allot more than a bunch of blogs.

    We've been at it since 2003 and our highest month ever in Adsense was $19,000 but we were using PPC. Our highest month ever for organic natural was $12,000. We never saw a month like that again.

    It's going to take more work and patience than you seem to be imagining.

    Just sayin......

      Hey Kiloh,

      And yes, if you look at the image that i posted. you will see the competition at max is 50k website for my main keyword. Ive used market samurai for my keyword research. And as i asked for help earlier, i have 25 long tail keywords and i dont knw how do i get the articles typed for it. Should i get one article for each keyword? .. and im not restricting my self to 7 articles. i never said that . And Im also ready to see no results from my first attempt. I know its not easy. But i need to start this, and keep trying different things.

      And with regards to my execution plan, im planning to heir one warrior to type my articles and another one for backlinks. I saw some decent deals. 50 edu links and 3000 normal links for $25. And also my domain is going to be based on the keyword. Almost exact match.

      Ive dropped the plan for such high paying keywords.

      Hey, Thanks for the motivation. And yes, ive chosen one of the most saturated niche. But the keyword for that niche that i found are low saturated. Low competition for those keywords.

    If you wanted to perfect your adsense campaigns Joel comm has a ton of advice on this. I would try and concentrate more though on the affiliate side of things, you can always place adsense throughout your website or blog and it can pull in that little extra to cover a few expenses. You want to aim at building a business.

    If you're only in it for a few extra quid, then go ahead and perfect your adsense.

    One word of advice... Take massive action and stick with it until you start making money. The biggest problem with newbie IM's is they jump back and forth between methods without waiting long enough to make good money.

      I think you have a very solid plan.

      However, there are a couple things you need to know about building a website based on content.

      It’s a long process working your way to the top of search engines. So don’t get discouraged if a couple of months pass before you start making any real progress.

      Depending on the niche it can take anywhere from a week to a year to make it to the top of the search engines.

      I’d also advise you to use a combination of CPC and CPM.

      CPM works on views instead of clicks.

      That way you can make money from people simply visiting your site.

    With Adsense, you're going to have to put in massive effort at the beginning and be pretty patient, as it may be months before you start getting your first check.

    I'd advice you to go the CB or Amazon route instead of this, as you'll probably be profiting a lot more with either business model, and there's no shortage of physical and digital products to target (making it very easy to ramp up your efforts with multiple websites).
