I've made a blog on blogger.com of the weight loss niche and posted articles on it using PLR content I purchased from WarriorForum and modifying it so it contains my affiliate links to clickbank and keywords for my niche, I've also set up a feedburner account for the subscription HTML code and have posted it on each article allowing people to get a FREE e-book on weight loss (which also contains more affiliate links while delivering content that leave the reader wanting more).

While I only have 3 articles up at the moment, I'm wondering how I'm going to be able to deliver traffic to this blog, even though I've got the content I know visitors aren't going to just find the site out of midair.

I know several article submitters frown on submitting PLR content to their site, so the question is; where's the direction to go from here?

Reccomend any information, tips whether it's free commercial.

I'd just like to get started on making my first $1.

Bit of a bump since threads not done so tend to dissapear off of page 1.

There are various advertising gurus in this hitech world. You can surf and read the pros and cons of using their services. Some are offering for free and for those who have the budget, opt to the paid ones. To attract more viewers, you should have a very well research and unique articles (if possible with matching images to substantiate the whole scenario). A hard-days work coupled with the will to succeed are some of the ways to earn though.

That's great, but even with the articles are people just going to find my site because very well?

A site that contains only three articles (that too PLR), hosted on a free blog !

I think you need to find answer to one very important question :

(1) Do you want to be a bum marketer who wants to write articles on particular niche and expect that the affiliate links in those articles will generate sales ? In short a path of affiliate marketer?

OR

(2) Do you want to be in a real online business in your niche by providing remarkable content to your visitors and establish your site as an authority site. Here the revenue generation model will be a mix of affiliate marketing and your own product.

As of now you seems to follow the option No. (1). If that is the case then let me tell you that in Bum Marketing, the ruthless domination is the key to generate maximum sales. And the domination does not come from relying on PLR content. You will have to create your own content.

Internet is literally just like a big net. Your site/blog is just one point in that net. If you want to make your blog visible in this huge net, you need to create connection to that point. These connections are backlinks. The more the connection to your tiny point (site) in that net, the more important your site will become.

Now it is an art (actually a science) in itself to create more and more back links to your blog. But here to summarize a few starting points :

(1) Ruthless domination in the key. Read, research and write as many articles as possible in your niche. Submit them to top six Article Directories.
(2) Write an ebook and submit it to top ebook directories.
(3) Read intensively about your niche and show your expertise in Yahoo Answers.
(4) Actively participate in related forums of your niche.
(5) Create a network of web 2.0 properties (Squidoo, Hubpage, Weebly etc) around your niche and update them with quality content.

I know it is not easy. Lots of work is to be done. But once you start doing this, you'll soon see that people have started finding your site. There will be visitors, real targeted visitors - and eventually the sales will come too.

This is exactly what I wanted, a clear precise answer. Thank you!

I prefer reverse engineering.

Go to Google and search for your affiliate product(s) with the words "buy" or "review" or "purchase", or just by themselves. Search for your broad keywords that way, too.

Take a look at the results - page titles, descriptions, sites where content is hosted (YouTube, content sites, social bookmarking sites).

Try your best to duplicate all of those links with your own efforts, but just do more and perhaps a little better.

I just learned this process and don't have all the details down yet, but I've seen this process work very quickly.
