  Why would you not first test your offer/landing page with your free traffic ie SEO and list before spending money . Test what works then scale seems more logical or at least that what I do. Test then scale. Just a thought ...

  Farmer Blue Eyes you make a great point but Im just unsure of how to execute testing. Say I want to sell a product, how do I go about making my offer? Have them sign up to a list and then pitch it to them or should I just send people directly to the offer? I definitely don't want to waste my time on something that I can't scale up, Thanks for the help!
  
  Thanks

  I know many others will disagree but I wouldn't waste my time with building a biz strictly with SEO !
  
  Its just too unpredictable and , imo, is not the worth the time

  Robert, I have found SEO to be highly effective but unreliable at times. It is great for me, I have actually found paying for advertising and targeted traffic to be unreliable. I have not been able to make a decent ROI yet but I know I need to learn. What do you think is worth the time in building a website?
  
  Thanks

Don't do that...especially at first. If you deliver genuine content and give your readers a reason to return, then they opt in anyway. An annoying popup doesn't build an ounce of trust or respect for a newbie starting out, so this is the very last thing you should consider doing.

  No, you gonna throw you money away doing that. Invest in an asset first. Start a website, do some seo. Very simple......find a click bank product or something from a different mall....
  
  I'm actually getting ready to launch some blogger hosted websites to see how long it takes for it to get de-indexed.
  
  No solo ads. Their is allot more to it than just having an offer and getting 200$ worth of leads that will most likely not convert, allot more for a newbie to handle. I personally wouldnt start out in the marketing field. Start in the affiliate seo field.
  
  Thanks

Since you already have sites, I'd go with that. Having a blog and building an e-mail is a very sound strategy. I also would be spending money on paid advertising -- at least not until I had seen how well the products you choose to promote convert with free traffic. If you want to get something else going for yourself while you're getting your blog together, you could try your hand at ghostwriting -- requires the least amount of learning curve, and it allows you to get paid via Paypal. You can check out the site ghostwritingcash.com for more on this.

I think your plan is a good one. The key to that plan is going to be consistency and focus. The more work you are willing to put in the less money you will spend. But that work serves 2 purposes 1) your website gets better and you get more traffic 2) during that time you also get better at your craft and things start to move faster.

As stated Above:

1.) Domain (NameCheap or GoDaddy)
2.) Hosting (*HostGator - despite you may wanna change up later)
3.) Autoresponder (AWeber, GetResponse, or Constant Contact)

Then;

Create (2-3) Free Affiliate User Profiles:

4.) - JVZoo.com
5.) - ClickBank.com
6.) - CJ.com (or maybe LinkShare.com)

Next:

7.) Research Markets, Products, Trends, Customer Demand, etc...
8.) Create a single "Squeeze Page" - to Build Your List(s)
9.) Immediately after opt-in redirect to the "affiliate offer" you chose to promote (using #'s 4-6)
10.) Follow-up with emails... test, tweak, rinse, and repeat.

Once you've got #1's-10 in place, you can concentrate on...

Finally,

11.) Directing Traffic
12.) Tracking & Statistics

*Naturally, you can explore article marketing, video marketing, product creation, selling services, B2B opportunities, etc... But, first get steps 1-12 up and running, then it's just a matter of learning to drive and convert traffic utilizing a multitude of marketing strategies.

PS - All the above can be done for less than $60, so you still have $140+ remaining, lol

Focusing on SEO is still worth it, and having a site rank on Google is still profitable if the keyword is very profitable and has high search volume.

However, nobody should rely on it completely. You want to be able to do other things as well.

I think you have spent some good time thinking about your plan. Building out a website is always good but it should be a specific niche so your traffic is focused and that is where your SEO strategies come in. As others have said- seo takes time and very vulnerable. Are you willing to take and wait it out with seo alone? Maybe you want to consider doing some research about CPA - it is a very cost effective way to start, and build an responsive list because you do not have to sell to them. Best of luck

Thanks
