Need to increase income, lots of spare time, need some advice!

Have you put amazon links or adsense on your sites? and depending on your niche you could use some clickbank products. The only things is it will be a couple of weeks before you get paid.

Thanks

Why not create an infoproduct? Write a helpful report on something you have a bit of knowledge on or can research, put it on clickbank. Find blogs that have the kind of targeted traffic you want and offer the blog author a split commission on the product if they advertise it.

good work ben. as you said, you can rank your local site.. why not to turn it into a local information site.. turn that site into a offline business..

Good, you've only wasted 3 months of your valuable time where I have wasted 12 months doing the exact same thing. This is just my opinion but what about ditching the SEO aspect for now and focus on creating cash first. Motivation lasts only so long in this business and one of the reasons many fail is because their motivation to continue gets smacked out of them.

So, since the SEO route takes time. Why not create a personal blog where you can brand your expertise in the niche you're focusing on. Create a info product like Bob mentioned above and put it onto a lead capture page as a freebie for that all important email address.

Spend your valuable time using social, article, forum, video, offline and any other direct traffic generating strategy to send targeted visitors to that lead capture page. Guest posting and press releases are very effective traffic generating strategies if done properly.

You should be able to generate 20 leads a day into your funnel after a month or so with consistent action. If you have cash to invest, you can also use paid strategies to gain momentum Send your subscribers to your personal blog where you build a relationship with them and can promote other products related to that niche. You can create another product to sell if there are no aff ones on clickbank.

In the midst of all this you can write articles on your personal blog and rank them in the serps, but as you know this takes time and that's why it's important to generate leads as quickly as possible with direct traffic methods. Remember, building that list is essential and 80% of your time should be used to generate targeted leads into your business on a DAILY basis.

Create a couple of short videos for your subscribers so they can get to know who you are. People rarely buy from faceless websites. You need to build that all important trust. Either make a video with your face on it, or, if you're really ugly, create a screen recorded video where they can at least hear your voice and connect with a personality. Your subs want to know that there's a real person they are connecting with. If they're going to buy from you, they have to know there's not a masked man in a striped jumper behind the screen ready to run with their hard earned cash.

Building your own personal website and creating videos of yourself is very important for branding. Instead of reading eBook after eBook on affiliate marketing, invest some time reading "marketing, copywriting and motivational material" too.

Listen, I could go on and on here but you get my point, yes?

Set up a blog and churn out as many Articles as possible then submit them to article directories and so on and build up your backlinks and seo - worry about making money later down the line, focus on promotion first

Hi Ben,

How about getting a few books up on Kindle? I have 6 books on Kindle and they bring in about $1000 a month (approx - it varies month to month). I have bought many WSO's on how to succeed with Kindle (there are some very good ones available) but here is my advice in a nutshell:

1. Find a topic where people have a problem they need to solve.
2. Write a How To book on that topic. It can just be 30-40 pages. Give really good advice, don't hold anything back.
3. Get your cover done on Fiverr. I use a guy named Nisha.
4. You can download MobiPocket Creator to format your Kindle book but sometimes it works for me and sometimes it doesn't. For that reason, I also recommend a gal on fiverr named "around86"
5. Upload your Kindle book at 99 cents and ask your friends and family to buy it and give you a review. Aim for 5 reviews. Also ask them to "like" it and tag it with appropriate tags.
6. After you have 5 reviews, up your price to $2.99 or more. Play with the pricing and see what works. Cheaper is not always better.
7. Join forums and get busy making friends with other Kindle authors.
8. Set up your Author page on Amazon.
9. Get a book trailer video made on fiverr and upload it to youtube. In the video description, the first thing should be the link to your book on Amazon

Then lather, rinse, repeat with more books!

I hope this helps. I know it sounds like an enormous amount of work but once it's done, it's done, and you get a lovely check from Amazon every month. It's like Christmas to me!

Feel free to PM me if you need any help.

Cheers,
Suzanne

There is a lot of money to be made in local niches. Just make a website, rank it, and rant it to the relevant person, or a business.

I suggest start by looking at a niche that interests you... do you want something automated or are you looking for something you have to work at? Both make money, but there are many offers here on WF that can either help setup your online business while others can give you the tools to help with your existing business.

But with all the offers I admit, it is very hard to find one that can help you do both. Best of luck, don't give up

I find the War Room to be a great source of information. Lots of people buy pricey IM ebooks but could do much much better with the War Room.

Why not actually sell on fiverr?

Do you have something you're good at or have knowledge in then whack it on fiverr and get a few bucks in while you're creating your info product

What is your website address? How have you gone about promoting your site other than SEO?

Thanks for all the replies guys. Certainly a good amount of information here.

Sorry about the 3 similar posts. Every time I tried to make a reply, it wouldn't show up! Not for about 12 hours!

Thanks

is there any typing or offline job or advise available ...i am having a good typing team and i am looking for some projects ...plz advise

Hi Ben

Good decision by the way!

If you get the foundations underneath you right, you can decide on anything. Check out nolistnoidea.com for those critical foundations...

Llwyddiant!

Joe

Thanks for the advice guys. A lot of stuff here to think about.

I would sell services for now that is the fastest way to generate quick 150 then after that start doing some affiliate marketing and make some info products or membership. If you don't have content make it by interviewing other experts and put it in a member area and start selling the member access. there are tons of ideas on this forum and the one thing you have is time, so you can do it, just focus and work hard and get better at it.

Good luck!

The easiest way would be blogging and using Adsense, you would start making money very soon...

Start selling your SEO services for cash flow. After that create an info product teaching how you rank your local sites and launch it on JVnotifypro, Clickbank, Clicksure or other JV/affiliate network.

P.S. Sell advertising space on your site!

P.P.S. If you're getting traffic to your sites and you need money asap, then sell it on Flippa

Good luck!

Thanks for the advice guys.

Small update on my situation, I have been lucky enough to increase the time needed until this necessary income boost to 5 months instead of 3. Although still no idea where I should start. Currently just tinkering around with my project site wishing there was an effective way to monetize it.

Uploading videos to youtube, makes me close to $1,000 a month
