any advice on what more can i do for now?

18 replies
I have created a blog on the niche of making money online and what i do in my blog was to basically share with the things that I have learnt from various people who are already successful.

So I have given out a free ebook as well to build my list and now I am trying ways to generate free traffic to my blog first before going for paid traffic.

I am currently an affiliate for Chris farrell membership site only and what do you guys think?

Should I go for more affiliate or just continue to build my list at the moment.I am aware that I have to focus on one thing first but if I can do more things at the same time,why not?

Just want to hear what do you guys think?

    Firstly, you should have your link to your blog in your signature and not link to it in your post.

    There are a lot of people promoting Chris Farrell's Create Your First Website. It has been around for some time.

    IMO it would be best to concentrate on building your list but with a different free report. You can still promote Chris's membership site but also promote something else.

    The making money online niche is very large and very competitive so you need to narrow it down to a much smaller niche within it.

    Good luck

      Hello,

      I would suggest to build a list if you want to be in the IM niche. Create a sqeeze page and sent traffic there offering your free report. Build trust and provide some useful free stuff and then promote products you think are worthwhile.

      For free traffic you can first add a signature in your profile to offer your free stuff to warriors. Then you can go with video marketing on youtube which is free and you can get a lot of visitors to your sqeeze page. Just provide goof information and sent them to your offer.

      Building facebook fan pages can bring in some good traffic too and of course traditional article marketing. I would go with ezinearticles to get some targeted traffic.
      Last but not least you can SEO your blog to get search engine traffic. Update your blog regulary with good content and do some backlinking.

      Hope that helps

          Yes, it is simply search engine optimization. Good on page seo which means good keywords, keyword density, H1/H2/H3 tags, quality content which attracts visitors and google.And a few other things.

          The second step is backlinking to your site. Concentrate more on quality instead of backlink spamming and you are good to go. You can do some social marketing like building facebook fan pages for your site or create videos on youtube to get more visitors and backlinks.

          Hope that helps

    Wilson, I've just had a quick look at your blog; it's a great start.

    You already know that the "make money" niche is tough.

    Nevertheless, tough as it is, you can make money in it. Just do what others have done -- make a virtue of being new to the idea of making money online.

    Ideas:

    * Share your goals on your blog. Many "make money" bloggers do this. They share who they are, what their aims are, the goals they've set, and the income they make each month.

    We're turning into a voyeur society (all that "reality" TV), so people want real life. Give it to them.

    Your status as a newcomer to online marketing is valuable. Play it up. You'll get subscribers/ followers.

    There's a famous blogger who started out deeply in debt. (Sorry I can't remember her name.) On her blog, she detailed her efforts to pay off her debt. She did paid off her debt, created an audience, and is making money.

    So, set some goals. Start by sharing how much you want to make a month from IM, starting where you are now.

    * Share what you're doing to achieve your goals, several times a week. Just report on what you're doing. This is more interesting to your site visitors than "how to" information.

    Here's why: CONFLICT. We love to see others struggle, and succeed. Endless books and movies are based solely on conflict and resolution...

    So, detail your struggles, day by day...

    Re "Should I go for more affiliate or just continue to build my list at the moment."

    Focus on your content. MAKE MONEY. Share your struggles in making money. Promote the products which are helping you to make money. Build your subscriber list, by asking visitors to subscribe to your feed.

    Go out and make $1,000 or more per month online, then write about what you did.

    In my experience, even when people follow a particular model, they'll tweak it to suit their style whether it's their voice, type of articles, website design. As you build up your online business, you'll come up with some unique ways that worked for you.

    Then blog about how you did this with detailed posts. Create a free or paid report detailing what you did. It's likely the method you use will be one particular style that works for you.

    When you can tell people you make $1000 / mo. online outside of your MMO blog, you'll get people's attention.

    Your blog can be a work in progress - but you'll build a bigger following once you can show specific techniques that you use to create a consistent and decent income online. Your blog will have fresh ideas and people will want to learn more from you.

    assuming the site is converting sales and making money for you I would just focuas daily on sending traffic to it, until you built up enough money to start investing in paid advertising and utilizing a more direct marketing style approach.

    Try to build your list, start with organic traffic by creating Facebook fan pages, use twitter, create a lense in squidoo and open an account in hugpages.
