First of all I'd like to clarify the fact that this is the net profit, not an overall income. Second, I truly believe that anyone can do it.

I'll try to keep things as short as posible because my goal here is NOT to brag but to offer everyone reading this the necessary confidence to just DO IT.

Before I start I also want to specify that I currently own 126 sites and have a list of a little over 105.000 subscribers, so I kind of know what I'm talking about .

A few months ago my brother in law paid us a visit. It was sunday morning and we were supposed to go shoot some hoops.

Anyway, I told him I needed to verify a few accounts and ten minutes later he joined me after hearing my wife telling him that I just made another $1.200 while sleeping.

Needless to say he was like WT@, $1.200 in less than 20 hours?

I explained to him that I was achieving results like this just from my affiliate promotions. He knew I'm also a product owner and so he always thought that this is the way I was earnings so much money on monthly basis.

What followed was nothing short of amazing for him.

He went from earning a big nothing online to $6.000 per month in just 40 days, of course under my close guidance.

So this is what I told him to do and to my surprise he actually listened to me (and is now earning around $6.000/month).

I explained to him that in order to produce money you have to sell something. And in order to sell you need to know what people WANT.

Always keep this in mind: most of us buy things because we want them, not because we need them.

This is the first category of buyers I advised him to sell to.

The second one is composed of people that have a very specific problem and NEED a fast solution (i.e. they have an infected computer and NEED an antivirus program to clean it up because otherwise they can't simply use the pc).

So I showed him how to first do market research.

Then I told him we need to find out what keywords people use to find the products he choosed to promote.

Out of all the keywords he came up with (using free keyword tools by the way) I told him that he must choose the ones that have at least 50 real searches per day and at most 10.000 competing pages (not websites) optimized for the same keywords as ours.

And also that he must check what type of sites appear on the first 3 spots of Google's first page for our targeted keywords.

I told him this for 2 reasons:

- the first 3 spots receive most of the traffic;
- if the first 3 spots (where we want to be) are well established sites, with thoundands of links, than it will be very hard to beat them so it's best to just find another keyword.

He did exactly what I explained to him and he came up with a list of 30-40 very well researched keywords in different niches, each having at least 50 searches per day and no more than 10.000 competing pages.

After that I gave him a list of 15 web 2.0 properties (wordpress, blogger, livejournal etc) and told him to make a link wheel out of them all poiting to the money site.

He posted unique articles on each property of the wheel (the articles were optimized for that specific keyword he was targeting), pinged them, bookmarked them, submitted their rss feeds to rss directories...the works.

Within the first week he was owning multiple rankings on the first page of Google for dozens of keywords, each keyword promoting a certain product from Clickbank and earning him around $6.000 per month in total within 40 days.

I hope everybody understands that this is not rocket science, if you want to make money online you have to go out there and just DO IT.

Stop procrastinating, stop reading method after method and just pick one. If it works for you then scale it up and move on to the next one.

I've posted this because I truly believe that anyone can make money online if they move their a@@ and get to work.

So...will you be the next one to share your success story with the rest of the warriors?

GET TO WORK NOW !!!

^^^ This. I respect you for clarifying that it wasnt total profit. Most people would have left that fact out.

Oh...and congrats to your brother-in-law.

Jon MacPherson

Wait, isn't he saying that it is all profit?

Confused, Jon

petelta

Just for clarification...he didn't have any websites of his own? He just used the web 2.0 sites and pointed to affiliate sales page?

Loren Woirhaye

Since the guy was doing mostly SEO-type promotion... well,
the sort of promotion that brings a combination of real visitors
and search engine spiders, then I presume the project is
pretty much all profit, and the $6k would be the size of
his affiliate income.

I often fall off the wagon myself and do not drive traffic as
well as I know how to. On one level having no website or
product or service of your own frees you up to invest
100% of your efforts in actually promoting your offer.

Good advice here.

AnniePot

Net profit is the total you have left after all expenses have been deducted from the gross profit. It's andi's earnings

andi_gt2005

Like I said in the begining of this thread: $6.000 is the net profit and it's all profit because everything was achieved using free traffic.

The idea behind my post is that with the proper knowledge and the needed dedication and perseverince anyone can make money.

How fast? It depends on number of hours one invest in his internet business.

AnniePot

Could you just clarify - I see someone else has asked this question as well - do the web 2.0 posted unique articles lead directly to the sales page of the item/product being promoted, or do they first go to your own sales page / product review page???

Thanks

Jon MacPherson

Brilliant.

sligon00

Great Jumping Jehosaphat .... 6,000 dollars or euros or whatever is
a lot of dinero... I am very impressed

You know you could turn that whole scenario into a WSO product.

Also, I have to get use to people in the UK using 6.000 , when we state
it here in the USA as 6,000 ...

We see 6.000 as being 6 dollars, which is not much at all... lol


BayAreaSteve

andi_gt2005

Annie, what form does a link wheel has ? Round, right? So it means it's built around something.

That beeing said, each article posted on these 15 web 2.0 properties contains one link to the next property in the wheel and one link to the money site, which in this case is a product review page.

And Sligon, just to be clear...it's 6 thousands dollars .

sean-john

thanks alot andi really appreciate it.

redicelander

Absolutely. This is very simple to do, and easier than a lot of people appreciate. You are exactly right! Great, great post.

DGA

Lots of good info. Thanks

Boris_yo

@Andi

I have several questions about your strategy.

1. Did your brother in law outsource articles that were published on Web 2.0 properties?
2. How did your brother in law reviewed products? Did he buy them to write a review?
3. What was the money site? Was it domain on his hosting account or was it Web 2.0 website? Also was it regular website or blog? What was the source of traffic?
4. Did he use keyword in Web 2.0 properies' URLs? Did he use keyword in money site's URL?
5. How did he research keywords? How did he know which keywords to pick?
6. How did your brother in law know which products to promote? Did he promote hot selling products?

Thanks.

AnniePot

Thanks. Yes, I do know and already utilize the concept of link-wheels. I wasn't 100% clear from your post whether one link from each web 2.0 resource pointed to a review site, or directly to the actual product sales page. Thanks for the clarification.

Kenster

Great information here.

Like you said, isnt rocket science but does take work, which I think a lot of people dont want to do

sligon00

Hey Andi


You said he researched 30-40 good keywords; how many keywords per
niche , per product?

If it's one keyword per niche, then you are promoting 30-40 products , or
is it 5 keywords per niche, per one product , and the products are
unrelated , and you end up promoting for example 6 or 7 products ?

Now I have confused myself ....


This is a great Post ... thanks for sharing

Andi,

Great post mate, should inspire anyone to take action here!

It took me a while debating whether this kinda method works, but after weeks with nothing to show for myself, I decided to stop debating, and JUST DO IT!

And guess what? It really did work, and all I did was simple stuff that anyone can do!

The same method as Andi's above, but with 1 keyword promoting a CPA offer in the Health niche. That's all it took to finally get me into action, and keep coming back for more!

So if you are the same as I was, then take a quick 5 minute breather, then get your head down and start your campaign immediately and keep going until its finished, you won't fail, unless you quit!

I reckon there are a lot us out here spinning our wheels. Even some of the reply posts here are analysing everything you did (for valid reaons I may say) .. and often that's what we do. We sit and think and get more info and question and analyse .. meanwhile someone else (like Big JP) just gets on and does it and sees if it works and then tweaks it afterward to make it work better.

Thanks for reminding us that there is no 'one' system for making IM work for us ... put a plan/approach in place and get on with it to see if it works.

Big JP

Well Said, and you're on the rite tracks, keep going.

And would you care to give a list of those web 2.0 properties? That'd really help a lot of people, I bet.

Hey guys, thanks for the kind words, I posted this success story because my brother in law knew NOTHING when he started and just by showing him the right way to JUST DO IT he's now earning around $6.000/month.

And I know he's grateful because they're expecting a baby, so....

Like some of you said: YES> you do have to work, but after you put this system in place it's all hands free.

Boris, to anweryour questions:

1. Did your brother in law outsource articles that were published on Web 2.0 properties?

No he didn't, but that was his choice, he's just good at writing, but of course you can do that for a few bucks/article.

2. How did your brother in law reviewed products? Did he buy them to write a review?

No, he didn't bought them, he did a thorough research about those products.

3. What was the money site? Was it domain on his hosting account or was it Web 2.0 website? Also was it regular website or blog? What was the source of traffic?

The money site was his, but that's just his choice. You can have a 2.0 property as the money site without no problems.

4. Did he use keyword in Web 2.0 properies' URLs? Did he use keyword in money site's URL?

The keywords used in the 2.0 properies' URLs and in the money site were the exact keywords he was optimising them for.

5. How did he research keywords? How did he know which keywords to pick?

Like I said in the original post: I told him to pick keywords that are receiving at least 50 real searches per day and at most 10.000 competing pages (not websites) optimized for the same keywords as ours. The keyword research was done using the adwords keyword tool. Of course now he's using Market Samurai.

6. How did your brother in law know which products to promote? Did he promote hot selling products?

Like I said: he promoted Clickbank products, but the trick here is to think outside the box and come up with alternative keywords, not those used by everyone else that have millions of competitors.

Sligon00: he choosed one keywords per link wheel for optimisation purposes. But no, he did not promoted 40 different products. It's more like 5-6 keywords per product.

Hey Big JP, thanks for sharing that with us. It just goes to show that like I said, anyone can do this, if YOU JUST DO IT.

So guys, this is the opinion of someone owning 126 sites with a little bit of experience : find ONE methos that you want to try out and just get to work. If others are earning money with it, it means that you CAN too.

sligon00

Hi Andi


Thanks for the great post ... much appreciated. :-)

Boris_yo

Thanks Andi,

For somebody new these are great results but most often when i try to register keywords in URL's these are already taken...

Also i have question about Linkwheel:

What if some of those 2.0 Web properties have "rel=nofollow". This would mean hole in Linkwheel as Google won't follow.

Should i only post articles on "rel=dofollow" Web 2.0 properties?

Andi, could you give us a list of 15 Web 2.0 properties that you gave to your brother in law?

Thanks.

carolvally

Thanks for the post. Best of luck to your family for their new baby!

This kind of post keeps me on the right side of the track!

Cheers

PLRwithAlex

I'll echo it as well, great post. Every now and then all of us need a refresher to remind us success is only dedication. Work brings rewards.

andi_gt2005

Boris, try registering the URL's with dashes between them, also try putting "the", "my" before your targeted keywords.

You're right about the "rel=nofollow" situation, but some of these properties will rank on there own because of the pagerank.

I recommend you start by posting unique articles on "rel=dofollow" Web 2.0 properties. It's a little bit more work to come up with unique articles for each of the properties, but trust me, it will pay off.

Regarding the list of these 15 properties, Big JP gave us a link to a great thread with lots of 2.0 properties.

Good luck to you guys.

If somebody without the knowledge of the specific field may not cause for their loss on time and work? Pls inform about the required process of the person whom do u want to this business.

sugicloud

That's right. Focus on one method is the way to success. My question is what this this mean?

at most 10.000 competing pages (not websites)

Is that the number show competition on Google?

Jeffery Baxter

What he means is that those websites are not specifically targeting that keyword. That gives you a way better shot at getting on the first page of Google, gaining traffic and sales. Hope I helped and great thread btw!!

Hey BayAreaSteve, you are so funny!

I, too, am confused - so many questions people have posted.

Andi...

One challenge that always stands in my way in keyword search is finding ones that fit those excellent numbers - 50 searches a day (1500 month), with less than 10,000 competition.

I've searched several niches for such keywords and have found very few. In some cases, none. I've driven myself insane doing keyword search and come up empty handed more often than not.

Oh, I've found keywords alright, but the searches are closer to 150-500 a month and the majority have over 30,000+ competing sites, usually much more.

So what's your secret weapon in finding such great keywords - long tail, and all?

I've used Google's tool, Overture (or whatever it's called now) and a software program called Ad Word Analyzer which gives searches AND competition (when it works). If I use Google's tool, I spend hours taking each keyword, entering it into Google to get the competition numbers. Can be very time consuming and frustrating.

JohanFourie

Wow! It's great to hear that - but I'm thinking - he did have someone to guide him - give him that assurance that he's doing the right thing!

I think that is where most people give up - not knowing if they are doing the right thing or not!

Thanks for posting this gem!

If you honestly dont like your job, house or life. You need to sit down and write what exactly you dont like. Then you need to understand the only way the things you dont like are gonna go away/change. Is if you sit down and work your ass off. You also need to understand if you put 16 hours a day in, your problems are going to go away twice as fast as 8 hours a day. So it becomes your choice how quickly you want to be living on easy street.

andi_gt2005

Liane, I already have one daughter, so ...

Boris, you have in my original post everything I showed my brother in law to do that got him to $6.000 per month. And the best thing about this method is that you can scale it up.

Valorie, my advice to you is to bookmark posts like this and re-read them to get yourself motivated.

Sugicloud, competing pages (not websites) means that a certain website can have hundreds of pages, but only one page is optimized specifically for the same keyword as ours. When you look for a keyword in qoutes it will return the number of pages specifically optimized for that keyword, not websites as a whole.

Opportunites, thanks for the kind words and remember to never give up. Perseverance doesn't costs you anything, but it will cost you a lot of money not to be perseverant.

Anne Hays, everything I taught my brother in law is explained in my original post.

Sylviad, you have to understand something about this method: once you find the right keywords, build a proper linkwhell and your money site (or one of the 2.0 properties in the wheel) ranks on the first page of Google in the first 3 spots, than it's all free money. Keyword research is indeed the most important step of the process and ones you find the gems...you get my point.

You don't have to find keywords that only have 10.000 competing pages, I'm just saying that this is the easiest situation. You can go for more competing keywords, it's just that it will take a little bit longer to reach that coveted first spot on Google.

Manual keyword research is hard, that is why I adviced my brother in law to buy MS. I trust me, with this software you will find those golden gems.

And yes, I always go for the long tail keyword. It's not just that it's easier to optimize long tail keywords, but they convert a lot better than general keywords.

As Vendetta said, the more you work the more you make. The biggest problem of a begginer IT's NOT lack of knowledge (there's no such thing when you realy want to succeed), it's procrastination and fear of failure.

gtrplyr

So, just to be clear...

The money site, as well as the 15 link wheel sites, are all optimized for the same keyword? Or are the link wheel sites targetting different (but related) keywords?

When you say your bro-in-law was ranking for several keywords, you mean for different niches? or are all those keywords linked to the one money site?
