Hi everyone I'm new to the warrior forum this is GREAT!!

Welcome. You're in exactly the right place.

Good luck,

Ray

Welcome aboard and good luck with your first site.

Hi

Your blog looks great. The text is all centered, it might look better and be easier to read if it was Left Justified.

The product you have chosen to promote is a good one too. Google Sniper is a good program and you could do well to start with it yourself.

In your text you could talk about GS2 a bit more specifically and pre-sell the traffic you send to the link. It is a pretty passive page with no strong call to action to click through to your offer.

If you have just joined Warrior Forum as a free member, I would suggest joining the War Room. It is a low one-time fee and the resources are incredible.

Welcome to WF!

Hi, and welcome to the forum. And very well done for "taking action" and "getting started".

Evidently - so interested that you're already setting up a blog advising other people how to do it? What made you feel that this would be a good first niche for someone with no experience of it?

It's pretty good until they delete it over their terms of service.

The problem is that you don't own it: they do.

If you want a free blog that won't (like those of hundreds of other "newbie Warriors" inadvisably hosted there) get deleted by Blogspot, you might try weebly.com, or yola.com, or blinkweb.com.

Or you could host your own free Wordpress blog at byethost.com (very good, professional, free hosting - no strings or catches, no advertising put on your site, looks perfectly professional).

The problem with "make money online" blogs hosted at Blogspot is that most of the people viewing them will know that that's unprofessional and very unreliable hosting, and as the compiler of the blog, if you don't know that, you have very little credibility. Maybe not quite the best way to start out?

That, again, gives you problems with that hosting. According to Blogger's own rather idiosyncratic and inconsistent interpretation of its own terms of service, that can be a way of "using a Blogspot blog to generate traffic to another site" (that's how they often look at affiliate links) and they can just delete your site, any time they feel like it.

Wanting to start off free of charge isn't a reason to use Blogspot. There are better ways (some of them mentioned above).

I welcome you and wish you good luck, but because at the moment you seem to be making a couple of the classic Beginners' Mistakes, I strongly suggest that you have a very quick strategic re-think about your hosting, and preferably about your niche, as well. Seriously.

Hello illblue! I'm with you, relatively new to the forum. I've been looking around and buying a few WSOs, getting a new adventure started. Just keep your eyes peeled for the good guys here and you'll find the good stuff that will help you succeed, I know I'm already on my way more than ever before!

Welcome!

First off, if you breezed past Alexa's comments, go back and read them carefully. There are a lot of sadder-but-wiser Warriors who thought Blogger was the way to go, only to find their efforts flushed away by Blogger with no recourse or recovery.

Second, look at what I've highlighted above. You are offering every visitor FIVE potential actions:

> Click through to the Clickbank product
> Click an Adsense ad
> Click to the other affiliate offer
> Make a PayPal donation
> Do Nothing

While it might seem like this is a great situation because you get paid on four out of five possibles, it's actually going to hold you back. Consumer research has shown again and again that consumers, when presented with too many choices, will make the safe choice by doing nothing.

Narrow things down to your Most Wanted Response, and focus on getting that.

Third, your "article" is actually a short sales pitch with no real content. If you really want to pre-sell a make-money product, don't just make a vague pitch aimed at anyone who wants to make money. You're on the right track by telling readers that you aren't talking to empire builders. Then you cross that up by talking vague benefits like 6-month vacations and dream houses.

You'd be better served to niche things down further by aiming squarely at a specific group, whether that's college students who want pocket money without having a job or senior citizens who want to supplement their pensions. Then tailor specific benefits that speak to that group alone.

You took a big step by actually doing something, even if it isn't optimum. You took another step by coming here and asking for feedback. Well done...

Now, let's see how you react to the feedback. Will you take it, learn from it and prosper? Or will you argue and defend what you already have?

I'm betting on the former. Please make me a winner.

Welcome aboard...

Make sure you search these forums - It's a goldmine of information!

Good Luck Man! I am sure you are going to learn a lot from this forum!
A lot of great people here..

Welcome to the forum and Best of Luck

welcome here man.

if you need any help just let me know. i don't know if you can pm or not but if you just post questions here we'd be glad to help.

about your first blog, i'd say go with your own domain and install wordpress.

that's the way to do it!

Thanks for your insight on how i aligned my text, now i know from a different perspective that it's easier for my prospects to read.

I would take your advice and start with that same program but like i said i'm starting from scratch (no income right now not even to buy a program that will help me) but I'll keep that in mind.

Another one i would keep to mind is what you've mention about in my text. That i can talk more about the product i'm promoting a bit more specifically and pre-sell my traffic.

I learned that my page was passive with no strong call to action to click to my offer

I'm going to implement that to my sites from now on thanks again

I'll be sure to join the war room very soon i'm making it one of my goals

Thanks

This is a reply to Alexa Smith message

First off thanks for taking the time responding to my post and i feel obliged for your comment about me actually started and took action. Felt good about that one.

Secondly to answer your question about that niche i choose is because i feel that i am my niche "how to make money online with no money" and there are people just like me in my position.

Your right i have no experience, on the other hand it's a learning process for me. That i feel that i can benefit from and others as well. Learning from my mistakes and sharing my success with others.

Thirdly, your comment about blogger. Thanks, guess blogger is not a good way to start. Don't want to invest my time in a site that is may get deleted. I'll try those other sites that you mentioned and niche as well.

You taught me something Thanks

This is a reply to JohnMcCabe message

I did take your advice and read Alexa's comments very carefully, she helped a lot.

second, that is you made it more clear to me that i need to focus more on what i want the most attention and response to. i have to many options and no focal point

about my article. I feel that your right looking back on it now its a short sales pitch with no real content. i need to have my articles better tailored and targeted to a specific group, along with the benefits as well.

Much appreciated for you taking the time sharing your wisdom, your comment actually inspired me

Thanks i'm gonna use it

Thanks again to all the useful comments

and to Mike McAleer yeah i would like to have my own domain and install wordpress but like i originally said i'm starting from scratch

I'll keep all these's comments and implement them

welcome here!
i´m also pretty new to the forum but not to the internet marketing thing.

before you start out too much: i really would consider to get an own domain and hosting - really, when you one day start to make money you depend on blogger to keep doing so. it´s a risky business.

Welcome to the Warrior Forum!

This is a reply to Monja

I understand i'm suppose to get a domain and hosting but i'm starting from zero, and i took some of advice and i'm not pursing to try to make money on blogger since. I heard there known to take down sites.

thanks again for your comment

Where is the best place to buy a domain and hosting, and i heard it's not good to get both at the same place. Is that true and why?

i´ve never heard that it is a problem to have a domain and hosting at the same place. i must say i have my server here in germany (it´s cheaper and i need one on my own) and i renew my domain over godaddy - but before i had bluehost, cheap and reliable - all you need at this state i believe - you can check out here

As long as everything is running smooth, there is no problem. The problem pops up when things start going wrong.

If one entity holds both the hosting and domain, they can lock you out if there's ever a dispute.

If the domain and hosting are through different companies, and you have a problem (usually with the hosting account), you can switch hosting accounts and point the domain to the new hosting. If the hosting company also is the domain registrar, they can block a transfer, leaving you at their mercy.

Hey thanks Monja

Thanks again JohnMcCabe
Very insightful it makes sense. Any tips on how to generate traffic?

Oh yeah i forgot to mention. I made my 1st dollar online through my blog site.
That i set up. I feel great!
It was my first ever!!

Don't have a clue where the traffic came from though.
With the insight i was given, i'm going to tweak it and i would have to change my platform from blogger to something more reliable.

Thanks again warriors

Welcome you join here. Wishes you success in the earn money online. You have good plan and keep try in the long time in the work to earn money online. I am too. I am try part time to earn a little money in this time.
Lovely.

First off welcome to the forum, it's great you have an idea of the product you want to promote which is fantastic as many newbies can get inundated with what to promote seeing the Internet has so much potential, you can start commenting on other blogs related to the niche of the product, and leaving backlinks to your site, ensure the comments adds value to the conversation or else the admin might remove them, you can also try article submission to the likes of Ezinearticles and Goarticles, basically talking about a review of the product or something else in the same niche, and at the end of the article leave links to your blog in the bio, the more you do all this the more traffic you get, Internet marketing is really all about traffic, great content and traffic is what get you the sales and conversions

nice to meet you illblue
