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.
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!

I am a big fan of affiliate marketing and putting up tons of websites around affiliate products. That is how I have made a ton of money online, but this program is something different. I do believe it is a great way to make money if you have the money to invest in this system. Normally we see program after program and website after website come and go, all promising to make us rich. Generally when you buy them you find useless recycled information that may have worked years ago, or never worked at all. It gets really frustrating spending hard earned money for work at home business programs that never live up to a quarter of their price. That is why I stated at the beginning of this paragraph that I am a fan of doing it yourself by marketing affiliate products and building websites or blogs around these affiliate products. I and a group of other friends even decided to build this work from home website showing top true products and giving affiliate marketing and SEO advice to try to help people not waste money on programs not based on affiliate marketing and all out scams. With all that said, this is probably the one program that is the exception. Meaning this is the one program that is different, not recycled crap, and even though it is based on a different theory, actually works. So if you have the money to buy it, I would definitely add it to your work from home arsenal. I will still tell you that along with this program you still need to be making money on other fronts, making sure all your eggs are not in one basket, but this is a great income making program that can get you revenue coming in and put you ahead of most buy giving you extra cash to finance the other parts of your work at home business.

Squidoo Can Make You Bank!
Some of you might be familiar with Squidoo, but most are probably not. It is a website where you can create you own page. So it is a website that allows you to create your own website within the Squidoo website. This is kind of confusing, but it is the same concept as facebook, myspace, twitter, and others, only with a different twist. Most social sites frown on you trying to use their site to make money. They are social sites that want you to create a page for friends and family, not for business. Now some are getting away from this, but they still have all kinds of stipulations on what you can advertise there.
Squidoo is different. It wants you to make money with your page. They have a system set up that allows you to advertise you own stuff, along with some of theirs. Now you get a share of the commission when you advertise their stuff and someone clicks, or buys.
This helps all of you reading this. Why? Because it is free to sign up and create as many pages or lenses “as Squidoo calls them” as you want. This gives you unlimited advertising and money making opportunities. If you read my other post, you already know where to get affiliate products. All you have to do is pick one, go to Squidoo and create a lens, and then write articles about the item your promoting. So if it is weight loss, then find a weight loss product, build a lens, and start researching and writing about weight loss. The more information on your lens the better you will rank. Click Here for an example of my lens for this site.
This is not just for people that don’t have a website as you can see from my example. This is important for people that have a website too. This is marketing. Squidoo is a high ranking site that gets lots of traffic. This gives you another face on the web, and some backlinks from an important site to your website. Squidoo lenses show up in search engine rankings just like regular websites. So this means you need to read my article on SEO and try to apply the backlinks information to your Squidoo lens also.
Now I said that Squidoo is a high ranking site and gets traffic. This means that not everybody is there creating lenses. There are a ton of people there reading information and spending money. Squidoo has a ranking system, and the higher your lens ranks the more visitors Squidoo sends to it. They rank in this order: content, visitors, ratings. Obviously your brand new lens won’t get alot of people right away, but they will send some to it if you put good content and a lot of it. When those people visit your lens site, they have the opportunity to rate it. The more 5 star ratings you get, the more they move you up the rankings. How do you get 5 star rankings? By adding quality articles and content relevant to your lens.
People that are ranked in the top 100 on Squidoo get quite a bit of traffic, and yes they make very good money. The kind of money that you can live off of and quite your regular job. Not bad for something free. Now don’t think for a second this is an easy climb. Many people have a head start on you and have a ton of ratings, but with work you can do it. Remember where I said backlinks were important to your lens. Like I said above these lenses get indexed and ranked in Google and other search engines. Like with any website, the more backlinks, the more important the search engines think the page is.
So my final point is even though there are a lot of people ahead of you, if you get backlinks you could end up ranking well in a search engine for your lens and receive traffic that way. If this happens, not only are you going to make sales, and money, but you will get ratings on your lens, which will move you up in Squidoo rankings and get you even more traffic, making you even more money. The possibilities are mind blowing because you can put as many of these lenses up as you want. Just remember to put quality content on each one, for any of this to work. Look at my lens as an example and then make yours better!
