Hey everyone,

I've got a domain name ready with hosting, the problem is, I don't know what the heck I should put up on it.

The domain name is www . internet-marketingsoftware . com

I am absolutely clueless on what content I should put up on it or where I should look for things, should I put up a squeeze page and then something(what?) behind it? If I should do this, what autoresponder(preferably free) should I use.

Should I set it up as a blog?

Should I use it for CPA?

Please some advice

    First of all make a list, of all or as much as you can, about Internet Marketing softwares. Once you have done that.. do keyword research and find which products are easy to target. Now start writing posts on those keywords and follow all seo.

    These are all questions that you will have to answer for yourself depending on what you are marketing. Do you have a product or service or do you just have a site with no idea at all?

    I have had most success with a squeeze page to build your list. From here you can contact and build relationships with people to make sales on your products/services (that is if you have one).

    If you have no product or service at all and have no plans of aquiring an affiliate product or your own products it may be better that you make this a blog and going by the name of the domain it needs to be a blog on different "internet marketing softwares"?!

    As long as the blog is informative and helpful and with work you should do ok going that way.

    As in terms of autoresponders, I use Aweber. It is not free but it is cheap and works very well for me.

    Sorry this is scattered but you have many options here and the final judgement will be from you on exactly what you want to do.

    You could do a review site of internet marketing software in blog or mini-site format.

    You could do a blog style site for freeware type programs that help internet marketers. Such as auto submitters, keyword research tools, logo creators or anything else that would help an internet marketer.

    Lots of possibilities with that domain name.

    Free list software would be:
    Mailchimp - I believe they do not allow affiliate promotion, only promotion of your own products? Not entirely sure as I've never used them.

    Listwire - Completely free auto-responder and list management service run by a Warrior.

    Constant Contact - Paid list management site but they do offer a 60 day trial.

    • Yea a review of some good IM software would be a good place to start. Show people how to use it and what it can do. People are a lot more likely to buy something if you can show them the benefits of owning it.

    Since you have the domain already you may as well run with it. But, I'm sure everyone will agree,, that you may want to go in a different order. You want to find a profitable niche first with keywords that have have good search volume without a million sites using them. THEN, you want to build a domain name around those keywords. It may be a little more difficult to try to build on a domain that has no research to it.

    Did you research it first?

      Thanks for the response. I have done some research, or atleast I tried and I kinda ****ed up with the google adwords keyword tool, I forgot to unclick the broad search so I thought my domain name was pretty solid, it wasn't but I'd love to continue with this domain name as I'd rather not use any more or a lot more money before making some. I bought this domain name more like an impulse once I saw that I got 12000 exact matches (as I said I forgot to unclick the broad search, FML).

      So I'd love to get some advice on this particular niche and keywords

    Okay, thanks for all the responses so far, if I wanted to make a list with a squeeze page, what would the ways for promoting this list then? I've done some backlinking using Angela's package.

    I have picked of course something related to the domain name and I want to promote marketing software. I do not think I have the skills to create my own software or my own ebook concerning marketing software so I'll be depending on promoting other offers.

    So say I join a CPA network on marketing software, will they supply me with a proper squeeze page and content or is that up to me?

    I think so far these are some of the questions that popped up from these replies.

    Thanks so far,

    Scylin

    I would say make the site a blog that reviews various internet marketing softwares. It could be auto-responders, article submission softwares, keyword research softwares etc. Give your opinion on the software and then have a link to it so people can check it out. You could also put Adsense on your site as a way to make a little money.

    Buy up a bunch of PLR and MRR software and sell it retail. PLR stands for Private Label Rights and MRR, master resale rights. You can get big bundles pretty cheap. Many come witht the original sales page so you can just link from your home page to a bunch of great offers. Take a look. Good luck. master resell rights software - Google Search

    All those questions should have been asked BEFORE you bought that domain.

    WHY did you buy it if you have no idea what to do with it?
    WHAT is your business plan? What kind of online activity are you planning to do? - selling your own product, affiliate marketing, or...?

      Shoot bud, I buy domains just because I can!! For example zedenzed[dot]com is it good for anything? Course it is! Can I sell it? Course I can! Can I use it later, course I can! Do I now what do to with it? Course not!

      To answer the poster's question, that's a half decent domain name, there's a lot you can do with it. Software for internet marketers is hot, software have a higher perceived value than an e-book per-se because it actually does work for you while an e-book, you read it then throw it in "recycle" or let it collect dust in and external HDD.

      Just look in CB, there's TONS of marketing software in there. I have a website for the same niche, it's over a year old and made about $10 with AdSense LOL. Just put a website on it and let it age. Domains, just like wine, only gets better (and more expensive) with age

      Hope this helps

    Hi, there. First of all, I have found that blogs work even better than websites. Also, I understand you wanting to make money before you spend any more (don't we all), but that is almost an unreasonable limit to put on your business. I have recently found something that is the least expensive, most comprehensive set of tools to create an online business that I have EVER seen. It used to be as much as $99 a month (and worth much more than that), but the creator decided he wants to help create lots of millionaires and he is offering it now at $9.95 a month. Can you believe that? If you want to check it out, you can call me at 713-201-6084 and I will give you the link They offer awesome (practically daily) LIV E training to help you learn quickly, as well as training tutorials that you can watch over and over. It is THE BEST $9.95 a month I have ever spent!

    It's always good to have a plan before getting the domain and hosting. I'd put a blog up, but that's just me. Depends on how you want to make money with the site what you put up. If you want to make money with a list, then a squeeze page and autoresponder would be good, or at least make sure that you have your list optin form on the blog if you set up a blog, maybe with a giveaway to entice them to sign up. Obviously, it's going to have to relate somehow to Internet marketing software.

    I agree with everyone in that you kinda put the car before the horse. To me, that domain sounds like a place where you can put a review of many different IM software products (there is no shortage of those) and pepper your review with affiliate links for each one. Good luck!

      There's a few good plugins like WP Spamfree that cuts down spam and All in One SEO plugin, but I'd go easy on plugins until you actually have a need for them. They make your site load slower and loading time is now actually allegedly a Google ranking factor.

  • Hi Scylin. I'd do this with that domain:

    Conduct niche, online consumer market and buyer keyword research. How? Niche and online consumer market research can be done by pinpointing popular online social networks with contextually relevant discussion pages top ranking in Google for "Internet marketing software", "SEO software", "backlink software", etc. List down these online social networks. These online social networks can be Web forums, blog networks and online social communities about Internet marketing, backlink building, search engine optimization, search engine ranking improvement, onsite and offsite content development, niche and keyword research, digital info product development and affiliate marketing among other things relevant to online business, Internet marketing campaigns and website development...

    While viewing those discussion pages: List down the specific needs, problems, questions, user experience and other relevant things mentioned by members of those online social networks. You'll be able to spot keywords and software names relevant to Internet marketing software topics...

    Go to the Google Keyword Tool to get exact match searches using the keywords you identified by doing the things mentioned above...

    Install a Wordpress instance in your server admin panel, upload and activate a visually appealing and professional looking Wordpress theme to the right directory in your server, customize your banners and other elements of the Wordpress theme to best match the Web browsing and online content viewing preferences of your target online consumer market. Then: Install a few plugins, such as Sociable and My Beautiful Tubes. Sign up for an account with GetResponse or other mailing list management subscription service providers. Place your mailing list subscription box in the sidebar of your customized Wordpress theme, particularly in an area where your target viewers can see it. Also write actionable statements, showing readers the benefits provided by the freely downloadable content they'll get after signing up to your mailing list...

    Create content for your website. Static pages can be your About Us, Contact Us and Privacy Policy pages. Write posts about your target keyowods, keeping in mind the benefits those posts can offer your target viewers...

    Go to the websites of the companies that developed the popular Internet marketing software products you identified. See if they offer an affiliate program. Sign up as an affiliate of the developers of those popular Internet marketing software products...

    Other developers may give you a fully functional copy of their Internet marketing software products. You can just sign up for a trial if there are companies that don't offer a fully functional version to their affiliates...

    Use those Internet marketing software products for your website. Write down your observations and test results...

    Develop your free digital info product, downloadable after mailing list signup. This can be a 10-page ebook providing your observations and test results after you used each of your affiliate products along with tips, advice, info, strategies and techniques which can maximize the benefits provided by each product. Place your affiliate product links so your mailing list subscribers can read more about each product...

    Write how to guides and develop video tutorials for properly downloading then installing your standalone affiliate Internet marketing applications or signing up with your affiliate Web-based software products. Include computer hardware and software requirements along with your recommended hardware and software specifications for optimal user experience. Finish it up with a step by step guide in properly using the features of the software to gain the benefits each feature aims to provide its users along with some tips and recommendations for your target viewers to gain more benefits from your affiliate Internet marketing software products. Tell them about your observations and test results available from your free digital info product which they can download after signing up to your mailing list, and also tell them about the newsletters and email updates you send your subscribers to keep them updated about things useful for their Internet marketing campaigns and online businesses...

    Sign up as a member of those popular online social communities heavily trafficked by your target audience and with top ranking discussion pages for your target keywords. Contribute beneficial content in the form of tips, answers, advice, info, techniques and strategies helpful for solving the relevant problems and satisfying the related needs of your target audience in discussion pages contextually relevant to your target keywords, onsite content and affiliate products...

    Monitor your results. Do more of the things that provide you with beneficial results, and cut down the time you spend doing the things that just give sub standard results. Once you earn income from your affiliate commissions: Test out paid advertising, such as mailing list PPV/PPM and PPC ad placement arrangements with webmasters that have huge mailing list subscriber bases consisting of people included in your target audience...

    I've got a question, is a high CPC good or bad?
    I've found a set of keywords cause I'm following Marx's post. The CPC on the keywords is really high, is that good or bad?

    I also found some other good ones but they aren't exactly matched with my domain name, this doesn't matter right?

    Maybe you can coach me a bit Marx?

    With a domain like that you can do a lot.
    You can do a review site for internet marketing software and use your affiliate link to connect visitors with the products.
    You should be sure to use original articles to do your review and use SEO tactics like putting the title (with the designated keyword) in H1 tags, and for every 100 words your keyword should appear twice if possible. Of course make sure your article flows well and it just doesn't sound like you're trying your hardest to keyword pack your article.

    I think thats what I would do if I had this domain, but again you can do so much! I would suggest you build a list. Maybe give away free copies of the latest software at random to subscribers, giving incentive for people to join your list.

      Simply google "internet marketing software affiliate programs" go through the results and find the best affiliate product with a decent payout get your affiliate link for the product,set up wordpress on your hosting account with your new domain name find a attractive theme to upload through your wordpress dashboard,make sure the theme matches "internet marketing software" focus on a very good header very important ! if you bought your domaine name from godaddy.com you can have your domain forwarded to your affiliate link with masking which simply means your affiliate link will be hidden from your visitors in the address bar very important!.Begin to create your post based on keywords with low competition but high search trends.Drive backlinks to your post this will get you ranked high in google serps. good hunting!

    I agree with the suggestion of many. Put a blog up and start a conversation about the topic. You may find as you go about searching for new angles and news about software that you start to develop a keen interest in some aspect of internet marketing software. As your website ages it becomes increasingly valuable - especially if you blog regularly in put up well written, thoughtful content.
