Hey,

Well I joined this forum about 8 hours ago and already have made some good progress but i just wanted to check with the experts that i am doing everything right.

Earlier today i read a free ebook/report on bum marketing and video marketing by a member from the warrior forum cires123

Edit: Here is the link to the ebook i recommend it: http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...g-secrets.html

His ebook/report(im just gonna call it a report for now on so i dont have to keep going ebook/report lol) was about bum marketing and video marketing.

So far today i spent about an hour researching what niche i wanted to go into i thought about going into the internet marketing niche because From what i have read it is a very good niche to get into but the competition is huge so i decided that i would start off with a smaller niche. After a little while of searching i was thinking about stuff that i like to do because it was recommended to me in the report that i should write about something i actually enjoy to do in real life because this would make the whole process easier.

So I thought why don't I make my niche Disc Golf some of you have probably never even herd of Disc Golf i Live in a rural part of upstate New York and thats a big sport up here but probably unknown in other parts of the country. Well anyway I did some keyword research on disc golf using Seo Book this is what i came up with.

I Found 5 Great Keywords Related to Disc Golf
Disc Golf Release Technique - 46 searches a day
Disc Golf Discs - 42 searches a day
Disc Golf Bags - 25 searches a day
Innova Disc Golf - 34 searches a day
Disc Golf - 630 searches a day (this one is going to be hard to place well on google but i think it is still worth a try because of its high amount of daily searches)

Next I wrote 5 articles this didn't even take me that long maybe an hour and half because of my knowledge of disc golf i already have.

Then i submitted the articles just to ezinearticles dot com because i dont want to have any problem with my first 10 articles with them so once they get approved then i will re submit them to other article directories.

After this i found an affiliate program I was in between a ebook on How to perfect your disc golf technique and just selling Disc golf's and getting affiliate sales off of those. I decided to go with just trying to sell regular disc golf disc's i decided this because i feel that people really aren't looking to read a book on how to become a better disc golfer its not a competitive enough sport I dont think atleast that people will be looking online for books on disc golf so i think the 4-7 dollar commission i make per sale with the Disc's will be fine.

Then i set up a very simple squidoo lens with 3 Disc's A putter Driver and the Long Driver. I Put a video of people using the discs on the lens i described the discs and then of course i have my affiliate link to the website selling the disc. I also put some pictures to make the lens look really nice.

This is what i have so far I have taken action!

Please let me know what else i should do or can do to possibly get more traffic or if i have done something wrong let me know.

Thank you so much I already love this forum,

John

P.s. squidoo is a great website but would getting my own website so i can use adsense be worth it?

P.s.s. can i see how many views my lens gets like can i use analytics on a squidoo lens

      good luck!
      Yea well i was going to drop Internet Marketing and go to Golf which is my favorite sport but golf alone has to much competition. So i went to disc golf which has barely any competition compared to The other two.

    You have taken quite a bit of good action! If you are willing to keep working you should make some good progress. I would suggest that you keep writing articles, as many as you can commit to each day. After they get approved by ezine articles, then submit to some of the other major article directories.

    You might also want to consider social bookmarking your articles and your site. Try socialmarker to make it a little quicker.

    You can also comment on other people's blogs, answer questions on related forums (with a signature back to your site), and answer questions on Yahoo answers.

    Those are a few things you can add to your plan of attack! Good luck and keep up the good work!

    Welcome Newbie,

    Sounds like you're off to a good start! You'd be surprised what people would like to know about Disc Golf!

    Put the book up on another Lens and tie the two together. I was going to write a book about physical conditioning for DG cause these young bucks can out throw me by a mile!

    Do a search for disc golf + affiliate and compare the payouts.

    Some killer videos on YouTube you might want to use as well.

      Well i am very new so i guess i am going to need to do some research to find out what book marking is but I assume that yahoo answers by answering the questions will drive questions to my website.

      Hi Steve,

      Looks like ive made a friend already lol

      Great to see that there are other people on this forum who play disc golf.

      I use a Shark and a innova right now but at one point or another i have probably used most of the different brand name ones out there

      If you do ever get around to writing that ebook and put an affiliate program with it let me know.

      But thats a good idea why not make two lens and see which one sells better.

      Thanks for the advice,

      Eric

    You have also picked a topic you like which again is great.

    Have you though about putting the video marketing part into action?

        Congratulations, your start is great.

        Keep adding pages to your site. Once a week is more than enough. Keep building links to these pages on a consistent basis. The usual stuff is ok: article marketing, blog commenting, squidoo, hubpages...

        And certainly don't overlook the internal link structure of your site. Very important!

        Keep us updated!

        Good luck,

        Kurt

    Great start!

    But theres no point trying to sell golf discs to people searching for golf disc bags. You need to target what you are promoting to what people are searching. I.e the people searching for golf disc bags are going to convert highly if you promote a golf disc bag, same for golf discs.

    If your stuck on finding affiliate programs for your keyword you can always go to google and type...

    • keyword/niche + "affiliate program"
    • keyword/niche + affiliate
    • keyword/niche + associate
    • plus you can also type your keyword into google and see what people ar advertising on adwords...
