My Personal Business Blueprint: E-Z Passive Income Online W/Micro-Niche Sites - $100k/Year System
Hey everyone,
I've been reading around here for awhile and have learned quite a bit, so I decided to share something with you guys that got me started with internet marketing and making my first $10, $20, and $100/day.
ENJOY!
Micro-Niche Domination
Step 1: Pick A Niche
You can promote various monetization methods on any of these sites you make. Some may have longer life-spans than others, for example physical products vs CPA offers.
If you want to promote CPA offers, obviously your niche is already chosen. If you are doing physical products, I recommend using Amazon's affiliate program.

You can earn a decent commission and on higher priced products you can rake in a few hundred dollars easy. One a week, and you have a $1,000 site. For example: High end electronics, or even furniture. Think outside the box. Little item, high demand, high price = big profits.
If you want to go into the internet marketing niche, you can promote high end marketing courses from the big guys that offer affiliate programs. You get a higher amount of money per conversion, and they convert just as well if not BETTER than the lower priced programs. These big guys know what they're doing, obviously, if people continue to buy from them. That itself is marketing, so let their system sell itself for you.
You can use JV Notify Pro to do that. Get used to using that site, it can get you in touch with big products and large names that allow JV requests and have JV invites. You have to join, I won't go over this site in depth, it's user friendly, and pretty self explanatory.
You can do ANY niche. Don't overcomplicate this. Just look around your house. I see a ceiling fan and a television, both of which are sold on amazon, both of which I know about, and all I have to do is sell others on them.
Step 2: Keyword Research
Use the Google Keyword tool located Here
Type a broad keyword or your niche name into the box. Search. It will bring up relevant and closely related terms having to do with your keyword. The goal here is this:
Find long tail keywords. You want one main keyword, receiving at least 600 monthly EXACT (not broad) searches, with at least half the advertiser competition bar full. The bar tells us that people are paying for PPC traffic and probably making money if promotion competition is high.
These are words with at least 3 words in the phrase. If you can find a good 2 word phrase for which the competition is low and certain domains are available, it is in many times worth it, it normally receives some type of traffic. Always check the stats the tool puts out though.
Even 300 visitors a month to a keyword with 300 monthly searches is 10 targeted visitors a day, and if one in 10 buys, that's a sale a day. If this is selling a product with a $50 commission from amazon, you will make $1,500 that month off one site. These numbers aren't necessarily real, but I have achieved similar numbers, and better, and many of you should as well.
Write down your keywords and save them. 1 MAIN keyword which receives the most traffic, and 3-5 additional related keywords that the adwords tool spits out at you when you submit your main keyword into it.
For example:
If I was building a niche site around furniture, I would want to find buying long talk keywords like:
buy cheap furniture online
sectional sofa reviews
Things of the sort. I didn't do traffic research on either of those, but find words of that nature. The buying nature, those are the words that original, intriguing content will attract a purchase, a click, or an action out of a visitor.
Step 3: Register Domain
Once you have your keywords, head to NameCheap and register a domain name. If your main keyword was "remote control ceiling fan review" your domain name might be something like: www.remotecontrolceilingfanguide.com. It is important that your domain is KEYWORD rich. Google lays a ton of weight onto this factor as far as search engine rankings.
Step 4: Write Content
You want to write an article for each secondary keyword you have. These are 300-500 words, and will ALWAYS have a LINK, ADSENSE BAR, CPA OFFER LINK, BUY NOW LINK, AFFILIATE LINK, or OTHER ACTION that you want the buyer to conduct, ABOVE THE FOLD. This means at the TOP of the article somewhere. For example, an introduction paragraph about the product you are promoting, a dog training course, then interrupt with a big subheadline as your Affiliate Link to the product. Then always include the link or action BELOW THE FOLD, at the end of the article as well. It doesn't heart to link to it once in the content, also.
IMPORTANT: When linking to your offer, or other pages within your site, always have the CLICKABLE LINK be the KEYWORD YOU TARGET. For example: Dog Training - Buy Now At Discounted Rate!, or something similar. If dog training was my main keyword, I would always use it as hypertext. I rarely vary my text links as far as anchor text, except maybe for click through rate testing, but I find just brute forcing Google to find you relevant, and then providing quality content is enough.
Include pictures, and use "ALT" text on the images, normally use the keyword of the page that you are on. If google searches through images on your site and sees the related keyword it will value this.
Generally you want the TITLE of the webpage, used in <Title> tags in HTML, to START with your main keyword.
You want the first phrase of your first line on your website to be your main keyword, as well as included in any subheadlines. You want your main keyword to be used 2-3 times throughout the content, and especially once at the end. Spreading it throughout the article allows the search engine to really target and pick that term up.
For example:
I have a dog training website with a picture of a dog jumping through a hoop. The ALT text could be: Dog training at its best. Or simple just "dog training". It's another variation of the keyword optimized into your content, not just in writing, but the core code and structure of the website now.
Step 5: Upload Content - Link Site
Upload your content to the site, link all your articles and check all your links. Do whatever you wish to make it look appealing. Remember, no overload with adsense units. One above the fold, and maybe a link to a product below, but don't clutter your page with them.
If you are using WordPress, you can use the heatmap theme for free, their website is HERE.
If you are building HTML sites, Open Source Web Design templates are awesome.
Step 6: Generate Sitemap and Google Webmaster Tools
Sign up for a Google Account if you don't have one, and then sign up for their Webmaster tools HERE.
Generate a sitemap using XML-Sitemaps.com.
Options:
Change Frequency: Daily
Last Modification: Use server's response
Priority: Automatic priority
Generate it and download the XML. Upload this XML into your website's root folder, just Pulic_HTML or www, whichever it uses. You can also get sitemaps for WP, just find a plugin, there are tons.
Add the site profile into Google Webmaster Tools, and point them towards your sitemap for that site. This will help Google to crawl your sitemap and get your site indexed. A lot of times this is all you need to do.
If you have a Wordpress blog, simply get an auto-pinging plugin that pings all your posts, and get a set of sites to ping.
You can built RSS feeds out of the websites as well, and submit them to RSS aggregators in order to get it ranking higher, receive a little traffic, and get it indexed. A lot of times, WP Blogs get indexed abnormally fast. HTML sites can as well, but it's hit and miss with Google, period.
Also install Google Analytics, if you can. Check traffic stats as you get indexed and move up the rankings.
Step 7: Build Backlinks (IF NECESSARY)
If you are ranking on page 2, 3, or 4 after a couple weeks, it may be time to build backlinks. Many warriors sell back link packets, such as Paul or Angela. They are detailed step by step how to add a back link, and many times just a few from their high page rank sites will allow you to move up significantly.
Many times, I claim a top spot initially. So this step never enters the picture. That's that content optimization can get you.
Step 8: Claim Top Spot
Once you claim a top spot for the keyword you are targeting, you will see sales, traffic, clicks, conversions or whatever you are aiming for. Improve by analyzing click through rates, conversion rates, and other stats, improve your copy, your bonuses, maybe include a squeeze page with a free gift to entice a better buying experience. Do what you need.
Step 9: Flip (Optional)
Once the site has 30-60 days of earning history, you can flip it.
I recommend Flippa.com, but you can sell them here as well, I've had equal success.
Many times, you should provide as much PROOF AS POSSIBLE of the income you are claiming, and state that in the auction. This will allow people to make a better decision. With 60 days of earning history and increasing earnings, I never settle for less than 10 times the monthly income of any of my sites. Many times if you can manage to systematically double the income of the website from month one, to month two, you can receive 20, to 30, to even 40 times the monthly income, if the niche is hot and website is high enough quality. I recommend just reviewing hot auctions and to mimic their copy strategies. It will yield the best results.
This means a site earning $2/day, can be worth $600+ at auction. Build five a month that reach that, and two months from now, you're earning $3,000 a month. There's power to this. I don't promise you will, but you can if you do your research good enough.
Step 10: Rinse - Repeat
Do it again with another site. Get enough of these so you make your full time income without lifting a finger. Sell some off when you want to buy something cool. More importantly, make it so big, you can retire by selling off your entire portfolio for 7 figures (my personal goal)
I have cleared $100K the last two years just from this method. This is all there is to it, basic is the best, and getting back to basics can start something really amazing for people.
Think about it this way: Build 4 sites a month, one a week. After a year you'll have 48 sites. If each is making at least $1/day, you will be making $1,500/month on autopilot minimum. \
Many will go to the $5, $10, maybe even $20, $50/day mark if you hit a couple home runs. I would say from my experience, if I go for tough, HIGH SEARCH VOLUME HIGH COMPETITION KEYWORDS, within a couple months I can grab a top ranking for about 1 in 4. Most of those sites make $20+/day. If you built one of those a month, you'd have 12 of those after a year. If they were making $20/day, that'd be $600/month, and with 3+ months earning history, keeping them updated and building income, those are easy $5k+ flips. That's 12 sites at $5k+, that's $60k just there. You can outsource a ton more sites with $60k.
It builds quickly
Good luck, I hope someone takes this seriously because the content I've offered here is literally the exact system I use to make real money. Get inspired and do something special I can hear about in a few months!
Leave some feedback! Let me know what you think! (And thanks, if it's worthy)
