A Newbie's Action Plan. Please help me find the flaws

It's all very good. At least you made a plan.

Here are the things that are not good:
"I am not going to start the website till I have written down the content for the next 6 months."
"I put the automatic publishing "

It's way better to just start to write and publish as you go. If you put it on automatic Google will hate you and will refuse to send you traffic.

"Fiverr offers some 20000 fans for 5$."

That is the best waste of money.

"So I will spend 15$ more to boost the number of fans in my facebook page. "

Again: waste of money.

"I am planning to buy tweet adder"

Wow, waste of money plus a nice signal for Google:"please remove my site from your index."

"cleverly disguised advertisement of the affiliate"

That is neat. Once you got visitors you are making sure they never come again. If the affiliate program is bad: do not advertise it. If it is good: clearly state it.

"a) Social Bookmarking Demon
b) Article Demon
c) SeNuke"

Waste of money and another invitation for Google:"please remove my site from your index."

" I still haven't understood the use of using aweber news letters."

Get busy to learn that one as it is the only guarantee to make money.

Looks like quite an extensive plan, even if it is restricted by your budget. As the old saying goes, you have to invest money to make money, so you might want to rethink your restrictions money-wise, although I do think you're correct in holding off signing up for SeNuke at $147 per month, as that is pretty steep (I have no experience with it but I hear it's an excellent tool).

As for other products to market from your sites, you could create your own info products and market them and/or do some affiliate marketing.

I'll be interested to check in a year from now to see how you're doing.

All the best,
Ray

Consistency is key. It looks like a great plan. The clincher is you have to follow through and be consistent.

Pay attention to what hpgoodboy has said here, these things ARE a waste of money.



Stop and take the time to learn ALL about email lists and their importance and benefits.

Basic theory is that if a person comes to your website, doesn't see anything specific they would like to buy or that sparks their interest, and leaves... He'll never return to your website again and you'll never have an opportunity to sell him anything ever again.

If that same comes to your website, signs up to your email "news letter", now you can bring that person back over and over again, send him updates "hey I just posted a new post about blahblah, check it out".

No Opt-in List = Visitor gone forever
Yes Opt-in List = Multiple opportunities to sell

You have started on the right foot though by making a plan.

Hey abhishekranjith!

Your Plan has plenty of flaws. But, that's no problem, because I'll help you to fix those :-)

Read my post carefully, it will give you a better perspective of this whole money making thing.

There is no niche in online marketing that has no commercial value. Period. There are just niches with a higher value.

The first thing you absolutely NEED to do:
Find out how the best performing sites in this niche monetize their site/blog. Try to integrate the most used one's (One at a time!) and let the monetization strategies compete against each other for at least a few thousand visits (if there are used more than one). Track your traffic (I recommend getclicky.com or statcounter.com) and decide afterwards which monetization strategy worked the best. But never forget: A good user experience is far more important than that extra ad or something.

You ABSOLUTELY need to do this first, because you already have a blog with exposure, and you would be stupid to not take advantage of it!

I know, many will tell you that $100 are enough for it. But I need to disappoint you, it is not enough. I'll later clarify why. However, if you monetize your blog and try to optimize it once or twice a weak, and if you write a little more for customers on elance for example, it should be no problem to get the necessary funds you need.

There's another BIG flaw. It seems like most people don't know for what blogs are designed for.

To clarify it (and this is not my view, but Google's):
Blogs are used for news related topics, which means that the contents value decreases over time. To keep your traffic alive, you need to keep the entire blog healthy with up to date information.

Websites are used for evergreen topics, which won't decrease in value over time.

Ok, now think of your three topics... do you believe that these are time-sensitive or could you write evergreen content that doesn't change in value?

In my opinion, your best bet would be to make a website and pay for the hosting, instead of choosing blogs. (I can recommend inmotionhosting.com, because their support is just top notch.)

By the way, a good tip from me: Don't register a new domain. Buy one which is at least 1 year old. The older, the better. I buy my domains mainly through GoDaddy's auctions. (GoDaddy.com)

Also, you shouldn't start three websites at once without the proper research (that you haven't) and the knowledge of how much could be possible. You could get stuck with projects that pay very little off, which frustrates because you'll spend plenty of time for those. Better research it further, and take only ONE of these three at first. After the first is running (or completely failed), you go to the next one.

I'll come later to the point of proper research.


So, you basically made your research using "Google Adwords Keyword Tool". I'm sorry bro, but in fact you know NOTHING about your market yet.

I'll just explain how I research when thinking about tapping into a new niche (however, I'll keep it short, because otherwise I would probably break the mold):

1. Keyword research with the most common used terms. However, DO NOT USE GOOGLE's KEYWORD TOOL! It helps you absolutely nothing for following reason: The competition analysis is utter bull****. It basically only shows how many people compete, but you should not care about that, BECAUSE ONLY THE STRENGTH OF THE TOP 10 MATTERS. There are only two keyword tools known to me that bring in the needed information: "Keyword Blaze" (Keyword Blaze Download) or "SEOMOZ" (seomoz.org). I use mainly Keyword Blaze for that matter, because it is free and just a phenomenal tool (big Thanks to Steven Clayton, I love this guy <3 he's one of the mentors I learned the most).
I recommend going for Keywords with less than "50" SEO competition (you'll know what I mean after using Keyword Blaze) if you can spend $100-$200 per month for SEO, and if you want to SEO yourself, not more than 30 or 35.

2. Take a closer look at your main competition. Obviously, I mean the top 10 competing pages that come up on your keywords. There are a few things you need to know:
What monetization strategy are they using? Try to find the monetization strategies that are used the most, and try to figure which methods would bring you more profit. But remember, although it is easier to monetize with ads, selling something usually tends to have a higher ROI.
What are their strengths? (For example, low price, good support, whatever)
What are their weaknesses? (same as above, just reverse)

3. If you come to the conclusion which of these three projects could results in the highest profit with the least amount of work, go for it and take the others aside.

4. Use the already mentioned strengths and weaknessses to your advantage in every possible encounter with your customers. So, ignore their strengths (it would be "Heavy Ground" to compete with their strengths. Not a good business strategy basically) and go straight for their weaknesses. You need to abuse their weaknesses every time a potential buyer sees you and your competition. However, this may be more confusing to you than helping, but honestly it is really hard to describe it. I recommend you to sign up on simpleology for a Elite account (first month is free, and you can cancel any time). Besides that simpleology is just great, there is a guide called "The Irresistible Offer", that you should learn to understand the above explained and use it in your strategy. Believe me, outthinking your competition can result in so much higher profit, you would shoot yourself in the knee if you don't do it.

5. Try to find other ways to get traffic besides Google. It is never good to throw all your eggs in one basket.

Bad Idea. You need to know the potential of the projects first, and without knowing the monetization strategies, you are unable to come to a satisfying conclusion. Also, 1 Project at a time, not more. Think of it as such: if you make all these three websites, and later it turns out that only one of those is profitable. You basically wasted a lot of time, because you haven't gathered the right information.


DON'T BUY SOCIAL EXPOSURE ANYWHERE, except through SYNND.
The reason is pretty simple, because the most important thing is letting google believe that all this comes naturally. SYNND is the only company I know that is able to do that. (I recommend you, if you decide to buy SYNND's Pro version, to do it via this link:
Matt Carter Special
THIS IS AN AFFILIATE LINK, but it is not mine. The reason I recommend this link, is because you get it 30% cheaper and you get more as the usual Pro user.)

Don't overdo it with affiliate links. Focus on specific products where you know that they KICK ASS. I mean, these should be the best in the market you could find.

1. Link exchange is not enough
2. Keyword stacking, or in general having the keyword many times in your article won't help ANYTHING with your ranking. In fact, you don't even need the keyword in your article to rank. However, I recommend having the keyword one time in it, and also having synonyms for that keyword at least one time. But, always prefer the better readability over putting keywords in your article that won't fit.
3. Your main goal is to make a website that your users will love, because Google will love it for that matter too. ;-)

DO NOT USE THESE SOFTWARES. I know, many people will hate me for this, but SYNND is sooooo much better (and cheaper) for that matter, simply because it shows Google for each individual thing a different IP address. However, I have to say I don't have much experience using these tools. But as far as I know, the only way to use those are through proxy, and in fact I don't know if google can determine if it is used via Proxy.

By the way, when using Articles for Backlinks, always leverage your content. This means, change the file format of your article in as many different formats as possible and upload them to the appropriate websites. (For example, PDF, exe, etc)

If you really want to stick to ads, I don't recommend using several networks for that matter. Stick to the one's with the highest profit, and never forget: Too many ads reduce the user experience, which is extremely bad. Better less ads, but your users love the site. It will result in more money, believe me.

If you do it right and listen to my advice, $1000 per year are peanuts.

Creating a list is one of the highest ROI activities you can do. However, simply sending out affiliate links won't work. Create a relationship to your customers via the newsletter by providing them help and advice. Only send out affiliate links in a very cautious and infrequent manner. Give them at least ten times more advice & help, then promotion. This will lead to respect, which will result in insane conversion rates!

I'm sorry, I never used any alias in my projects, so I don't have experience that I can share on that.

E-learning course? What do you teach in that course? And on which site you want to monetize it?

Well, I hope I could help. If you need any assistance, you can give me your email and I'll send you my skype/msn data for some Q&A sessions.

To be honest, I have absolutely no idea I've never build any blog. However, I'll talk with one of my employees. As far as I know she has a lot of experience in blogging, maybe she knows. :-)
