After going on the uk conference a couple of months ago it has spurred me on to do some new things.

I spotted my current weak points – identifying niches and decided to outsource it.

The good news is you can still be successful even if you know nothing about a subject, although I am keen to be fully immersed, I am not at the “super affiliate” status of some friends over at Wordpress Goldmine.

Still, progress is progress

Last month I posted that I was on around $560/month.  Well that turned out to be slightly wrong due to a misunderstanding for a certain item I am promoting.  So it was an overall of around $250 for July.

Adsense was quite similar in July, but in August I have had a defined increase – and I put this down to the outsourcing of having someone identify a niche and put a site together for me as an autoblog, in record time.

August overall:

Adsense: $41

Amazon: $5.66

Clickbank: $40

Other $400 – nice!

Anyway, like I say, las October I was wholly a NEWBIE on $0 a month.

I don’t care whe people say it’s a rubbish income – it’s MY income and a result of me staying focused on one thing – internet marketing.

Ive known for around 15 years that I want PASSIVE INCOME for the rest of my life.  Its been in my mind for at least that amount of time and I have actively pursued it through multi level marketing.

You know… you culd get a college education for 5 years, stuidy hard and spend a lot of money financing that education and end up on a  job of $60,000 a year, for life until you retire when it drops.

Alternatively you could work hard for 5 years, spend money on your internet marketing education and end up on a passive income for life that comes in whether you work or not,sick or not, on vacation or not, and there are no limits to it.

Which option sounds best?

Invest in your education today.

A Review Of Video Creation Mastery

This is my review of the video creation mastery course.

Do you know how important video is these days for anyone with a website?

It has become the cornerstone of any growing and successful marketing campaign for a multitude of reasons.

Video Creation Mastery was developed over many long 16+ hour days for months, and continues to be ever-developing as the number one source on the internet for anything to do with video, BAR NONE.

Video creation mastery is a website that provides you with hours and hours of CURRENT and UP TO DATE cutting edge video techniques.

if you are a complete beginner or a seasoned pro, you can use video to promote your website or service and make more money.

Why Choose Video Creation Mastery?

Well, video and the audio that comes in a video, actually stimulates people on more than one sensory level – audio, optical as well as through reading of sales copy.

Video Creation Mastery will show you this.

NO matter what your level of knowledge, Video Creation Mastery aims to be the resource that shows you how to go from a fumbling beginner to someone who makes money consistently, getting a better and clearer message out across to the people visiting the site.

Youtube is number one for video content – and ad spend budgets are up, seemingly by as much as 30% year on year, so this proves that video IS the way to go – and if you don’t get involved you will be missing out on a key trend for growth in the coming years.

Video Creation Mastery is designed to be a one-stop shop that provides:

• Video Training:  Literally hours and hours of unrivalled STEP BY STEP VIDEO TRAINING sessions that are added on a weekly basis.
• Audio Interviews:  Interviews are included conducted with online marketers who are already using video to grow their business.  You won’t be left out!
• Additional Training Materials:  Ongoing REGULAR content from reports and bonuses are added to the private members area.

Finally, with a no quibble full 60 day money back guarantee handled by clickbank you have nothing to fear, no worries to even think of – just get it, try it, and if within 60 days youve not increased your profits – then use the refund guarantee.

To me, this really is a great offer.  Mark Thompson (from Wordpress Goldmine) is behind it – he has already proven himself as a downright decent guy who tells it like it is, walks the walk and makes a very substantial monthly income from niche sites, membership sites and personal training.

Well I have spent a couple of days creating huge amounts of backlinks using Unique Article Wizard – something I have owned for nearly a year now.

These 2 days resulted me me creating backlinks to almost 20 domains, each one releasing around 10 article submissions a day to each site until around 700-900 articles are distributed per site – nice and steady.

Well I finally got an Amazon sale because of this, from a site that had never achieved a sale in over 8 months of it’s existence.  Then the same day I got 2 nice adsense clicks for almost $3 from one site that had never had a click ever, in 6 months.

Weird how effort provides rewards.

Site building is now easy for me.  I know the routine, I know which plugins and I understand the on-site SEO.

It’s amazing to think last October I knew nothing about SEO really, so thankfully because of Wordpress Goldmine I am learning something.

Everyone has their own journey, some do very well very quickly(or at least it seems this way – probably I get to hear of them at the time they are on the fastest-growing part of their earnings career), some do slow and many many quit.

It’s quite sad that there was a very nice man online who has vanished from our forum – I hope he comes back.

Anyway, I am also outsourcing site building – yes, I am using a man who has done me a deal and is making sites for me based on autoblogging – something I hadn’t ventured into, and all of this has prompted me to push hard on my existing domains.

So, I will say, as I always say – dont give up!

Post Footer automatically generated by Add Post Footer Plugin for wordpress.

In all that time I have had small successes in some areas, and no successes in others.  I think that I found this topic difficult to deal with due to information overload.

My average adsense, clickbank and amazon earnings have remained steady (and slow), however I did report last that I was promoting something, and its been a bit of w inner.

At the moment its making me in the region of $560 per month.  I am blown away by this concept of passive income, in fact I am mesmerised by the whole thing… cut me down the middle and you will read “passive income” inside of me.

I have started to outsource some of the things I have difficulty with, and so a very good person is kindly building me some sites and videoing everything.  Its a great way to improve.

So what about you?

When is it going to be “your” time?

I spent the past 4 years wasting time and money.  4 years ago I met Mark Thompson who owns wordpress goldmine and he was making these crazy websites.  I was doign my thing, trying to be a big king, running sites that had over 15,000 members and yet why after 4 years wasnt I a rich man?

For me, doing this has been the one thing that made me stop doing everything else and just focus on one thing, a real thing.  The one thing that required effort.

I hope your time is close.  Maybe Ill see you in wpgm…

take care

I absolutely adore this place and it has the the numero uno place for me to learn internet marketing.

Right now it’s just under 20 bucks a month, and you can try it for 1 dollar.

I emplore you to get involved if you are “at that point” where you MUST start making money online.  I was in october 2009 and have never looked back.

if you’re not quite yet sure I have written a Wordpress Goldmine Review, but otherwise go now, grab your Wordpress Goldmine $1 trial.

Peace

Ok, thought I’d post an update.

I have been doing all this internet marketing stuff, and being in a position where I can devote full time attention to it, having had a bit of cash in reserve to see me through.

One thing I hadn’t been doing was pinging, bookmarking, clipmarking and submitting the rss feeds for my “backlinks”.

DOH!

I’d done it for new blog posts, new sites but not for the backlinks.

To cut a long story short I’ve spent 6+ months creating backlinks and Im guessing a lot of them haven’t even been indexed…..!

All that effort..

Anyway, I am starting to work through them, at the same time as deal with writing website sales letters and articles.

Happy to report that my website is now number 1 in google for its main search term yay! “website sales letters”

Anyway, here are the earnings from yesterday:

Adsense £1.47

Amazon £2.17

Clickbank £0.00

Other – promoting a new service generating $20/month in referral commissions.  So far I am up to 6 referrals, as long as none cancel its potentially $120/month.

We will see

Post Footer automatically generated by Add Post Footer Plugin for wordpress.

I havent posted a progress update for a few weeks because there wasn’t a whole amount of need.  The past 6 weeks or so are basically when I have started full time at this.  I am still earning but the more I learn the more I earn.

Adsense:

Back in April I earned £5.48 adsense in May I have earned £4.91 June so far its at £2.51 – it’s good to know that things tend to follow a certain ongoing continual path and I’m happy to know that basically what I am doing is slowly building a passive income empire.  I know some people scoff and laugh at the earnings but everyone has to start somewhere.  Ive never claimed to be the fastest but I certainly understand the rules.

Amazon:

April was $7.04, May was $3.76 and June so far is just $0.54 – Not sure what to say on that, maybe Ive encountered competition for my sites, or maybe it’s just fact that the income goes up and down – if I had 100 sites in my arsenal it could be arather different story.

Clickbank:

April $0.00 May $0.00 June $0.00 (There was a sale which would have netted me $30 a month but it got refunded).

Wordpress Goldmine Affiliate Sales:

April: $20.48 May $19.98 June to be reviewed at month end but should be 3 subscribers so around $28.

Other sales:

I am promoting other items too, one of which I should have sold 2 subscriptions earning me $20 on each so thats at $40 per month.

So, progress so far I am sitting somewhere in the region of

Adsense roughly $7

Amazon proposed $2

Clickbank ….

WPGM $28

Other $40

So all in about $77 a month.

Woweee some of you may say, and wowee I say too but I don’t care!  Potentially thats $70 a month for life as long as I keep doing maintenance promotion.

Now Im working full time at this I am starting to see the fruits of my effort.  Other people have had bigger successes and I congratulate them, but I am after all making progress udner my own steam, and it’s a good feeling.

To date, I still only own 6 or 7 sites and havent done nearly enough on all of them and for a long time have been.

Plus, it’s really only recently Ive been “getting it” and understanding the bigger picture.

Do you know… would it REALLY MATTER if it took me 5 years to reach a full time passive income?  Some people would say thats not acceptable, but lets look another way.

Doctors study for 5-10 years, people in well paid professions study at university for 5 years without a guarantee of a job, plus when they retire, the money stops unles theyve got a brilliant pension.  How good are pensions anyway these days?

Plus, they STILL have to go to work 40 hours a week when they are sick or ill and they still have to beg and plead like sick puppies for any time off, plus their bosses make them feel like crap day in day out.. no thanks…

Me, with ongoing maintenance, I can happily build this money up, and even one day pay outsourcers to take over 95% of the work leaving me to do what I want, when I want for the rest of my life.

If I want that £70,000 BMW I can have it.

Many people who have spent their WHOLE LIVES chasing their dreams get frustrated over and over and over each time they read stuff like this, because they are stressed that it’s not working for them.

Can I be your helping hand? why not join me at Wordpress Goldmine.

I’m happy to be the tortoise when other people are the hares.  As long as I remain true to the path and keep putting one foot down in front of the other I will get there.  It’s not a race it’s a marathon.

Other news:

Search engine results page positioning is increasing almost daily.  This is the key – having more and more pages of content that show up in the SERPS.  I have spent the past few weeks doing just that – adding content to my sites and bookmarrking the pages(as well as some other techniques you’ll lear inside wpgm if you join).

One site I recently pushed, I targeted about 15 phrases – and wrote content for each phrase and 2 weeks later 90% of those phrases now show up on page 1 of Google.

I’ve also come to realise that all this time Ive been targetting keyword phrases with low search volume and low adsense earnings, so this is another factor that has influenced the overall earnings.

I want to make this guide as simple and as easy to follow as possible.  If you are wanting to know how to start your own business based on blogging then I can most certainly help.  There are a million routes to success with blogging, so you don’t have to follow a precise path, but you do have to follow certain rules which will be revealed later.

What is blogging?

Blogging is just the same as having a personal diary stuffed in your bedroom – you write things in it for safe keeping, except people all over the world have the chance to see your blog, so it’s a good way to share ideas, articles and thoughts.

Blogs represent you and your innermost thoughts so they can be as personal as you’d like them to be.

How do I start a blogging business?

Well in a nutshell you write about products and services, with the view to making money out of them.

Millions of people every day of the year log on to the internet search for things to buy.

Your job is to be that website that they click on to in order to get the sale.  they are going to buy anyway, so why not from you?

Where and how do I start?

(Quick note:  Starting any business is likely to incur some costs up front, but if done right you can soon recoup those costs.  Blogging is no different, if done correctly – don’t be swayed by offers of totally free hosting – the pitfalls are numerous – many people have lost entire blogs when hosting has gone down, so buyer aware is the advice I can offer to you!)

Ok, let me help by explaining all to you.  First of all you need a blog to write in right?  Just like you need a diary that you have to go to the store and purchase you need somewhere to write electronically.

There are many places you can start, some are free, some are paid.  Personally I’d say keep it free.  However I strongly suggest you get your own paid hosting to host the blog.  Hostgator is my first choice.  Their customer service is outstanding and you can get started hosting multiple blogs all in for one price of just $7 a month which for a business expense is incredible.

Then you need to decide which blog to use – in other words, what kind of diary to use.

You want one that Google can easily find, and likes a lot, and is likely to put high into the search engine results page(SERPS).  The one I recommend the most, and in fact the only one I use, is called Wordpress.  It’s got a technical name called a CMS(content management solution), but suffice to say Wordpress is one of the best, and its free, and it can be installed on your hosting easily by clicking a few buttons!

Once you get your hosting, go into your control panel, look for a button called Fantastico, then choose a Wordpres installation.  I wont go into it in detail here (but ask me if you ned help).

How do I make money?

Well, you are going to need products to sell, or recommend aren’t you.  They can be your own products or you can recommend other peoples products and make a commision for each one you sell.  This is called Affiliate marketing – whereby you are an affiliate for other peoples products.

You can also build websites/blogs that have nothing but content on them, ie words, phrases, thoughts, product reviews etc, and then ahve advertsiing appear on your blog.  Google offer advertising called Adsense which places adverts on your blog, and those adverts will be relevant to the content on your site.

How do I actually make money in my blogging business then?

Well, you can have a nice loking site with 10,000 pages of content, but if those pages arent anywhere to be seen, then nobody is looking at them and you wont make money.

To do this you have to try and find the people who are interested in your topics and try to get them to come to your site.

How do you actually DO this though?  Well, think about it – where do people go when they want to know something?  They open up their internet and type into Google or Yahoo or Bing etc, what they want to know.

When they hit the enter or return button, a load of websites show up – these are called the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPS).

If your blog was to show up on those results pages then there is a chance that some of those people will click through and look at your site – hey presto your first visitor!

Your job is to find what phrases people are typing into the search engines.

Imagine if you realise or discover that 1000 people every day earch for a phrase, and they type in “Pink Fluffy Slippers For Sale”

If your blog was called Pink Fluffy Slippers then your blogs content is HIGHLY RELEVANT to what the searcher is looking for.

The search engines like to show HIGHLY RELEVANT CONTENT to the searcher.  If they can master this then they keep their searchers using them – basic business sense.

If Google shows information on Blue shiny shoes each time people want to buy pink fluffy slippers there is a strong chance people will get annoyed and fed up and go to another search engine.  So it is important top Google(etc) that they only show relevant content in the SERPS.

What are the steps involved to grow a business in blogging?

Find the phrases people enter into the search engines.  Googles external keyword tool will help – go to it, enter a general phrase relating to your topic and it will list the phrases people type in, along with how many times a month that phrase is being searched for.  You will also get an idea for how many competing websites also want to get onto page 1 for the same phrase – so look for phrases which high search volume and low comeptition.  This can take some time to learn but you can learn more about it by joining me at Wordpress Goldmine – a membership based forum Ive been at since October 2009.  It is one of the friendliest places I have ever been lucky enough to come across.

Once youve discovered a suitable phrase, write a article about that phrase, at least 300-500 words long, and then make sure you include the phrase in the topic about 2 or 3 times, no more.  Then create a hyperlink.  Link that bit of text that is the phrase and link it to your product you want to sell.

Rinse and repeat, and eventually your page should start to show up in the SERPS for when people type that phrase in.

If you are excited and want to get started, I can wholly recommend you do one mroe thing right now in your life before you embark on the journey.

Join me at Wordpress Goldmine – right now you can try it out for just $1.  Why am I pushing this?

Because, for me it has been the ONE THING  the ONLY thing that has helped.  It’s the only place where I ahve elarned the ins and outs of starting my own blogging business.

Join me today and I’ll see you in there – I am in there almost 7 days a week talking and answering questions.

Stay on the right path and I promise you’ll not regret it.

Thanks,

Shaun

It’s also like I’m starting from scratch too, but hey ho.

It normally takes a while for things to start happening, and that is the case.

I have been working on adding backlinks to 2 or 3 phrases picked up in the rank tracker plugin for wordpress, good if you want to know how to get site indexed by google I am using, and all I can say is wow.  Each phrase has now blasted on to page 1 of google and my main one I wanted to rank for has hit position 1(again!  lol)  – its embarrasing but seeming to beocme a normal occurence – especially the bit about hitting page 1..  sigh this I.M. suff sure is “hard”

Joking aside, Ive noticed  a minor increase in Adsense but nothing to write home about so Ill wait a few weeks to see if a definite upwards swing is observed.

The adding of backlinsk is showing in higher number of daily site views though, so all is good.

Im going to start working on a new niche today though, a well-researched one, and try some videos to promote it, so cant wait on that front.

The trend is definitely “upwards”.

Keep smiling.

Oh, and of course I couldnt have done ANY of this before wordpress goldmine.

Shaun

The rank tracker plugin for wordpress I purchased a few weeks ago is REALLY doing me some justice!

It’s showing me phrases now I hadn’t even thought about, and yesterday I got set to work on one phrase.

Today that phrase now dominates PAGE 1 of Google in

around 7 or 8 slots out of 10 – some would say that is a great result.

Not bad for 3-4 hours of work.

On to today I have been building backlinks to a second phrase and just 2 hours later I’ve checked and already have THREE

links on page 1 of Google (two of which are in positions one and two).

Am I excited?

YOU BET I AM!!!!

Work hard on your dreams – or should I say work SMART!

All I have done is become a real student and follow the advice I have been slowly learning at Wordpress Goldmine.

I joined in October 2009 and at the same time was left with some devastating news that basically put me out of the picture for 5 or 6 months.

Now, I’m working and aim to get there.  Why not join me and quit doing stupid business opportunituies – work for yourself and work at your pace.

Take care

Shaun

UPDATE:

Ive just checked and the first phrase from yesterday now habitats all first ten places on Google

Now I need to translate this methodology into high paying keywords and work the magic.
