I have finally decided my niche and I have written 4 articles and 1 guide on that niche. Now I need the exact direction on how to use that data.

I mean, should I create a blog and post my articles over there or something else?

Please do keep in mind that I have nothing to invest except time.

Looking for positive replies.

    More info needed. What are your intentions? Are you selling a product, service or ad space?

    If you are an affiliate marketer and your goal is to sell products online for income, then you could just continue writing articles in your niche. You wrote 4 great! Keep writing more, every day.

    Are you getting any traffic yet? If you are keep on truckin.

    If you want to make income quicker, just get a domain and mask forward it to your sales page.

    If you are thinking long term income, then start a blog. However, starting any website up from scratch is quite an under taking. If you want to go that way then I would highly recommend going over to Keyword Analysis Tool - Market Samurai and opt into their system. You will learn a great deal of info just from their free videos and emails. I would then purchase the software at the discounted price before it expires.

    I know that you said you have no money but you will waste a ton of time if you don't invest in your business plan.

    Even a domain will cost you money.

    Build your own blog and build your own page rank and content on your own domain rather than build content for someone else's domain

    You first need a website to start sending traffic to. I recommend building a squeeze page and give your guide away for free and build an email list.

    Mailchimp is a free autoresponder service since you are just getting started.

    Once you got the site set up. You can also set up a wordpress blog and post the 4 articles on your blog.

    You can syndicate your content on all the major social bookmarking sites, social networks.

    If you have any tutorials you can submit them for free to top tutorial sites.

    You can submit your guide as a pdf to top free ebook sites. (with links in the PDF that link to your squeeze page)

    there's a ton more you can do. search the forum for more traffic techniques.

    Thanks Alot Joshua.

    Only thing I wanted to ask before I start working, can I use free domain (dotTK) and free hosting to make landing page and offer my guide to build an email list?

    Regards.

      You keep mentioning you have nothing but time to invest. How about money? Can you invest $50? $100? If you really have $0.00 to start with, then starting a site may not be the best for you. Maybe focus on finding a way to make a few bucks until you get enough money to pay for a domain, hosting, etc.

        There is some bad information on this thread.

        Do not use a free wordpress blog to promote. They don't allow affiliate promotion.

        Selling affiliate products on WP « WordPress.com Forums

        Do not use mail chimp if you are planning to do some serious marketing (read below and you decide).

        http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...mailchimp.html

        You could set your site up on blogger or weebly. Whether you choose to set up as a blog or an html style site is completely up to you.

        Are you looking to sell the guide, or offer it as a free give away?

        By the way, 4 articles are not likely to get you far. You are going to likely want a bit more content collected, and you need to squeeze everything out of it by doing some repurposing.

        Get a site going, put up your articles, and move on from there.

    You can try using a free wordpress.com site which is completely free but you cannot promote any affiliate links on it. And I'm not sure if you can add an optin form on a free wordpress site.

    If I use free hosting, create my landing page over there and redirect it to my dotTK link?

    Smokee,

    If you really don't have any money, you should go to Facebook and set up a simple fanpage. Populate it with your 4 articles, and have some sort of mechanism to provide your report when they "Like" your page.

    This allows you to build a list using Facebook's infrastructure. Sure, it is in Facebook, but it's free. Keep adding the articles and maybe create some videos to keep your users coming back for more.

    How are you intending to monetize your list? Are there affiliate links inside of your pdf?

    Once you are monetizing, you want to get your own website so that you can deliver products and get a real autoresponder. Both of these provide you with much greater control.

    So here is what I did today :

    1) Got myself free hosting.
    2) Got myself a free redirected domain name.

    After this, I am planning to create a landing page having an opt-in box which would give away a free guide inexchange of the user's email.

    Traffic Source:

    I am a bit confused over here. Should I spin my 4 articles around rapidly? The problem is that I am very bad in article writing and the articles that I have, I outsourced them when I earned from freelancing.

    So heres the suituation, I got only 4 articles to play with.

    HELP ME OUT.
