BluePrint to First Sale at Amazon

I don't know how many times it needs to be said, but all the information anyone needs to be successful online can be found here at the Warrior Forum.

It takes some effort and a little $$, but if you follow the information here you CAN make some money.

I made my first sale with Amazon yesterday - Yoo Hoo! - typically my income is generated through Clickbank, CJ, Adsense, & other affiliates, but I launched a new website with some targeted keywords basically promoting Amazon & Ebay and made my first sale in less than 30 days.

Here's what I did and it's nothing that hasn't been repeated:

1. Researched some keywords (topics) at Free Keyword Suggestion Tool From Wordtracker

Found enough keywords with little to moderate competition (30 so far).

2. Outsourced 15 articles to be written based on keywords I found (I chose to outsource to maximize my time - to save money you can write the articles yourself).

3. Registered a domain name & set-up hosting.

4. Installed Wordpress using Fantastico.

5. Uploaded a free wordpress theme WordPress › WordPress Themes

6. Summarized my 15 articles and started dripping post into my blog - (currently have 9 posts).

7. After putting the summarized article on my blog I posted the full article to EZA.

8. Went to Digg and have Dug 2 of my blog posts.

9. Created a hub at HubPages based on one of the articles I posted at EZA & on my blog (currently that hub has a score of 91).

With Hubpages I basically use the same article posted at EZA with little to no changes.

10. Monetized my blog with...

- Amazon Plugin WordPress › AmazonFeed WordPress Plugins

- A sprinkling of Adsense

- Added a couple other affiliates



Since I launched the site on 11/22/2008 I've had 322 visitors per Google Analytics.

For the month of December I'm averaging 14 visitors a day. Not alot, but it's a start...

And all of this has led to my first sale at Amazon.

2009 looks to be a good year!

Hope this helps those who are struggling & wondering if IM really works - the key is to take ACTION !

I'm not rolling in the big $$'s yet, but I'm following a formula that is producing results one step at a time.

Keep Pressing On,

Jeff
