You Are Crazy If You Are Not Using This!
We have mentioned this system before, but there still doesn’t seem to be many people using it. The Free Traffic System is something that you must incorporate in you work at home arsenal if you want to succeed.
This site has two levels. The first is free the second cost a monthly fee, and for that monthly fee you get more. Now we have preached to all that would read this blog that the best way to make money online is to get you a website. A website is a business front in cyber space. If you read this blog you will know where to find products to market if you don’t have any. This solves most of the problems of a business. The website is your store front, you know where to find products if you don’t have your own. The last thing you need is to market your online business in order to attract customers and make sales.
The marketing is the hardest part. You have to market and do your SEO if you want visitors. SEO means Search Engine Optimization and you can read about it on this blog. Backlinks are the heart of your SEO and play a major role in your website ranking in search engines. More backlinks = better rank = more traffic = more sales = more money.
Building backlinks is a pain. Over time your website will build natural backlinks by people finding your website and linking to you. Don’t wait and count on this getting you to the top. Unless you have the latest greatest new website out, your nature links will grow very slow. This is why you must take action. This is why the Free Traffic System is so important. You can write articles and include links to your website. They will post your articles on other people’s blogs and you will start to build backlinks. This is all FREE. They have an upgrade version that gives you even more backlinks per article and I highly suggest you do this if you can afford it.
I know that writing article after article is no fun, but it sure beats what you probably do for a living now.
For those of you who have blogs. Backlinks are very important for blogs like any other website, but you must also keep fresh content. You can go to the Free Traffic System Website and sign up. Inside you can list your blog and they will start sending fresh relevant articles that other people write all for free. You can’t beat this anywhere. FREE Content for a blog is more money in your pocket and more visitors because you are constantly getting new content.
With your blog and new content you can add Google adsense or other advertisements and start making some money. Let’s do some math and be realistic. Let’s say you put up two blogs about weight loss and include adsense. You list them with free traffic system getting them fresh content daily. You write some articles about the blogs and submit them to free traffic system and get some backlinks to these blogs. You start to see some traffic because of your fresh content and backlinks. You average $2.00 a day off the little traffic clicking on adsense. This doesn’t sound like much for the effort, but think if you put up 50 blogs. In this scenario that is $50 bucks a day after a few months. This would probably grow because of the fresh content and the fact you are getting backlinks. Now with 50 blogs you couldn’t write a ton of articles for each one, but you could manage about 2 a piece in your spare time. This equals $1500 a month. This is not a myth people are doing this. They find a hosting plan that has good bandwidth and allows them a lot or unlimited domains. They set up tons of blogs.
The only difference is that they struggle to get content to all those blogs. You would have a huge advantage because all the blogs you put into the Free Traffic System are getting fresh content FREE. A dollar a day per blog is pretty low too. If you had a blog about weight loss you could make much more than that if you started getting good traffic.
There are people out there using this very work from home system and making $30,000 a month. You have to think outside the box.
Now if anyone is sitting there saying that you don’t know how to set up a blog or get a domain, or hosting then shame on you. All you have to do is read and try. Blogs are very easy to set up. MONEY WILL NOT MAGICALLY APPEAR. YOU HAVE TO WORK FOR IT. I personally would rather set up and maintain blogs a few hours a day then work a regular job making crap.
Getting Free Exposure
Filed under: Affiliate Marketing, SEO And Links, Traffic, Work At Home
Not matter how you are trying to work at home, you must have exposure to succeed. You must advertise in order to get recognized. It doesn’t matter if you are promoting your website, a work from home program, CPA products, Clickbank products, your own products, or even trying to get people to sign up under you so you make even more money on your surveys. You must advertise to succeed.
This is where most people run short on the money. You need money to advertise, in order to make money. Now there is one way to get around this problem. There is a system that you can use for free. This system allows you to write articles and submit them. They take your articles and place them on other people’s blogs. The blog owners get content and you get exposure. You are allowed to place two links to where ever you like. Meaning you can put them going to your website, products, affiliate link, so on. This is your exposure.
Unlike article directories, this method is very successful. A lot of these blogs are visited by quite a few people. There is almost no other place on the web where you can have this kind of advertising power for free.
Here is another food for thought item. There are many people out there that put up tons of blogs and make good money off of using Google’s Adsense Advertisements on them. The problem in the past was coming up with new content for these blogs to keep visitors and search engines liking them. With this system you can enter you blogs and get free content all the time. This will keep the search engines happy and get you some visitors allowing you to make money off of the advertisements. All you have to do is find some cheap hosting, a domain name, and set up a WordPress blog. This is all very easy and can be done even by a newbie.
If you have a website, or site you are promoting, then you can set up some blogs in the same niche. Get the free content and ad the main site you are promoting to the blog roll. This will give you tons of links going to your main sites from your blogs getting you some search engine love and free traffic. To use this method, I would recommend getting Class C hosting. This is where your hosting plan gives you different IP address so all your sites and links are not coming from the same place. If you did this method you could promote your main sites with your same niche blogs, put adsense up on the blogs to make money, and also submit articles to go out on even more relevant blogs. This would give whatever site you were promoting quite a big presence that the search engines would notice.
This is the kind of power this free website offers.

Finances Getting Tighter = New Work From Home Course
Now that everybody’s finances are getting tighter due to the recession, the idea of making money online by working from home is getting even more attractive, and one of the first things many people hear about is something called “affiliate marketing.” While the information out there can overwhelm most people at first, the basic concept is fairly simple.
Market research is the first step in this process.
First, you must research markets you are interested in. This is your most important starting point, and you can do this by finding out what your potential customers are looking for. This is the essence of “keyword research” – finding the actual words or phrases people type into search engines to find answers to their problems, and you can be sure that if you do not do your research, you will regret it later.
By finding and using keywords that consumers are actively entering into the search engines, you will be able to help your websites and landing pages rank higher, generating a nonstop flood of organic, targeted traffic.
Keyword research doesn’t have to be a difficult task, however. Start with the free Google Keyword Tool, which can be found by searching for “Google keyword tool external,” and enter in a keyword or phrase that identifies the product or niche that you are interested in promoting as an affiliate.
Click on “get keyword ideas” to generate a list of keywords and gauge the competitiveness of the market by taking a look at the number of times people are searching for your main keywords per month.
What you want to do is find a market with existing demand that also has existing competition and products readily available, but not so competitive that ranking highly is next to impossible.
What’s important here is that you remember there must be an audience for whatever you choose to market. Since you are a work at home affiliate, your costs for entering a market are not very high, but it’s still a good idea to take the time to do niche research in order to avoid wasting your time.

Checking Your Competitors
You read and hear all the time that you should not target big niches or niches with tons of competitors, but how do you really know? The whole idea behind finding a work at home website niche that has plenty of searches and little competition is so you can make rankings in the search engines and get traffic. Most people go to Google and do a search for the keyword they are targeting and assume that the numbers brought by Google’s query are what they have to complete against. They then check the Google Keyword Tool and see how many searches are done on Google for this keyword and use those two numbers for deciding on their niche.
This is a dangerous game and can bite you down the road. How do you really know that you can rank on the first page for this keyword? Is it because there are not that many competitors? I prefer to know exactly what I am up against before I spend the time building and setting up a website targeting a specific niche. I always run the numbers and ask these questions.
How many backlinks and how much work will it take to be on the first page of Google?
What kind of visitors can I expect?
Is the amount of visitors going to be worth the amount of work it will take to get on the first page of Google?
These are questions that you need to be asking! I myself have made the mistake of not running the numbers. It is pretty disappointing to put up a website and never get visitors or make sales. Like I said above most of you understand finding a niche and understand how to find if this niche can be profitable, but you are not checking your competition realistically. Just because there are few competitors doesn’t mean that the competitors that are on the first page of Google don’t have tons of backlinks. Measuring the amount of backlinks your competitors have will give you an idea of how much work you will have to do to possible get on the first page.
Example: You find a keyword that gets a decent amount of searches every month. You find a product that you can create a website around that fits this keyword. You search the keyword in Google and go off of the query results it brings back, leaving you thinking that there is not that much competition and that you can make first page. Your numbers tell you that you won’t retire off of the money you will make, but if you make first page you will make a decent amount of money every month.
This is figuring that 1 in 100 visitors will buy the product or at 1%.
The problem is that you didn’t check and see how fierce you limited competition is. You see other people have found this niche and set up websites. They have had their websites up for over a year accumulating thousands of backlinks. Had you checked this you would have known that in order to make the first page of Google you will have to beat the lowest two sites on the first page, which both have at least 8000 backlinks. For you to get in the top 3 on the first page of Google for this keyword you would have to have around 10,000 backlinks which is what the top three websites are showing. To get this amount of backlinks takes a great deal of time and work. Realistically to get 10,000 backlinks you would have to work your tale off for over 6 months. Now this depends on the niche, but generally backlinks are hard to come by. You also have to realize that while you are playing catch up, your competitors are accumulating even more backlinks.
So if you are a one man or woman operation, this site is going to take all your time in order to see organic traffic. Then the question has to be asked, is it really worth the effort? Meaning are you going to be able to catch you competitors and are you going to make enough money to make up for all the time spent and all the money spent getting this kind of massive backlinks?
These are things that can kill your online work from home efforts. What is the point of putting up a website if no-one will come and see it? You must know exactly how much effort it will take to rank on the first page of Google if you are going to make your money on organic traffic and most people starting off have to hope for organic traffic, because they can’t afford advertising for traffic.
So now you understand how important this is, you need a solution. The easiest way to check how many backlinks your competitors have is by going to Yahoo’s http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com This tool will allow you to check any website’s total backlinks count giving you an idea of what you will need to compete. You can also go through the backlinks manually and check and see where they are coming from.
Example: You might see that the #1 result has 9000 backlinks and the #2 has 12,000.
This tells you that your top competitors are pretty fierce but you need to dissect this even more. You need to know what extensions their backlinks are coming from. Meaning, .com, .net, .org, .edu, .gov and so on. The #1 site could have quit a few .edu backlinks which could explain why it is ranking better with less links. Now like I said you can go through each individual link from Yahoo siteexplore, which takes forever when a site has 10,000 backlinks, or you can use a better tool for dissection like SeoElite and get the total from Yahoo. SeoElite won’t tell you the total number of backlinks accurately, but it will tell you the breakdown and trace .edu and .gov backlinks. This is important in understanding why this competitor is ranking so well and what you will have to do to beat that website in the rankings.
Appling this method will give you an edge and keep you from entering niches that have fierce competition. Now I am not saying stay completely away from fierce competition. I am saying that you need to run the numbers and be realistic about what it will take to get to the first page and top search engine results. By knowing this you can set your budget and time and see if this will be worth the effort to get there!
What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is something that can make you a ton of money. Here is my basic definition. You partner with other people or companies and sell their products or services. You get paid a commission for doing this. Why is this great? Well if your trying to make money online than you need to sell a product or service, and that is where affiliate marketing comes in. Affiliate marketing is not a myth, it is the way most people make money online.
Why would companies need you? It is really simple. More sales! If a company is selling a product on their website than they need traffic to their website to make sales. They can have the greatest product on earth, but if no one knows about it then they won’t be able to sell it. This is where the affiliate marketer comes in. If they advertise the website, they will make money and drive traffic to their site. If they advertise and recruit affiliates to also market their product or service they will drive a lot more traffic and make a lot more sales. It is a win, win situation for all parties. Yes they don’t make as much money on the sales, but they make a lot more sales, which is more profitable for them.
For someone trying to make money online this is awesome. You now have a product or service to sell. No writing a book, no inventing, and so on. You have a product or service that you can market just like it was your own. Now granted, it could be more profitable for you to have your own product or service, but if your like me who can’t write and can’t invent, this gives you the opportunity to make money online.
There are many ways to market affiliate products, or services. If you have a blog than you can find a product or service that fits your niche. Some people build whole websites around affiliate products. Some people have opt-in email list that they can mail affiliate offers to. The ideas are endless on making money with someone else’s products or services.
The question I am asked a lot is where do I find affiliate products or services, and which are the best. Most of the time you can scroll to the bottom of a website that is selling a product or service and find their affiliate link, if there is one. Some websites place the affiliate link at the top to make sure it catches your eye. Another idea, which is the way most people go, is to find a affiliate broker. Places like this specialize in finding affiliate offers and recruiting affiliates to market them. I will put some links at the bottom of this post to some of the more popular affiliate brokers. The question of which affiliate products or services are the best really depends on you. Some affiliate offers are better than others. Meaning that some pay more commission than others, some are better products or services, and so on.
You have to feel out which will work for your situation. Put yourself in the buyer’s shoes. Would I buy this product or service? It does you no good to market a product on your blog that has a 50% commission if the product is crap. If your new to all this, then research about affiliate marketing. There are a lot of tricks to it, but the main things are, find a product or service that will sell, that has a good commission, and that fits your niche. Meaning if your blog is about weight loss, you wouldn’t want to try to sell “marketing software“. Like I said the opportunities are endless. If you find a product or service that is great, but doesn’t fit your niche, then create a website around the product or service. Always think outside the box.
This is an amazing opportunity for you to make money online. Understand that you just solved one of the major problems in business, which is having a product or service to sell! With this opportunity comes a lot of research and learning. That is why on the home page we ask for you to get involved in multiple programs and sites. This allows you to start learning different areas of making money online. Affiliate marketing is in some of the programs on the main page, and the more you learn, the better you will get, and the more money you will make.
Here are some links to affiliate brokers below. You will have to sign up for some of them. They are not in any particular order and there are a lot more that are not listed here. You can always search affiliate in Google to find more. Remember to check out my article on CPA (Cost Per Action) affiliate marketing Here.
