Wow, It Worked!

I got $125 in commissions today as promised.  I have been looking over the opportunities that I have signed up for.  In principal they are all sound opportunities.  I just need to figure out how to take this http://www.holmes-people-search.ws/ to the next level--that's code for getting it to make more money for me.

In all of what I am doing here, I truly want to provide a service and that is finding really good opportunities for money making and in the process make some money myself.  What I do not want is to make money with false promises, or scams.  The thing with http://www.holmes-people-search.ws/ is that you need to know about affiliate marketing or else you'll sign up but not know where to start.

You really should sign up with Wealthy Affiliates and People Search to get the most from this.  Then you should expect start slowly as you learn, but if you don't give up you will be successful.

Where To Start

Today I am going to submit my first articles.  I am not sure I have the keyword ideas down yet, but I learn best by doing. So here goes.  From my research I have found that EzineArticles.com and Goarticles.com are the place to start.  We'll see.

One thing I have found is that when you start to research affiliate marketing everyone and I mean everyone seems to want to sell you something.  So if you join Wealthy Affiliates are some other legit marketing school, beware.  Even in these places greenhorns will be hit up for every imaginable marketing scheme by other members of that site.

Some offers are good, but you need to be the judge of what works for you and what doesn't.

Until Next Time,

Niche Marketing.

Today I learned about niche marketing. In essence you find a niche that relatively no one has filled and you pitch your product to that niche. I have chosen dieting since I have some expert knowledge of that area. Now to find a niche, I am supposed to use a keyword search and find a keyword that has a fairly high search rate on google. Next I check to see how many people out there are using that key word in their articles. If the ratio is a relatively high search rate to a low use rate then I am to write an article around that keyword. This is suppose to boost my article near the top of the search page for anyone using it to search the Internet. So far it all makes since to me on paper. But will it work when I try it?

One thing good that has come out of this is the discovery of great new diets to try. I can go through the offerings and weed out the bad and ugly ones and promote only the good ones. Strip That Fat is a great one. I am trying this one right away and if it is as good as it sounds then I will market it. I chose this one because it lets you create the diet out of foods you already like to eat. How cool is that?

Next time I'll let you know how article writing is going.

Strip That Fat

Well, I have spent two days now studying at Wealthy Affiliates University and I have figured out that affiliate marketing in a nutshell is driving people to Internet businesses for a commission and that there are basically three ways.

1. Buy advertising.
2. Write informational articles and submit them to article web sites.
3. Search engine optimization—that is making a website and getting search engines to list it near the top.

I can't afford buying anything right now so I am going to opt for number 2
—no this is not an attempt at bathroom humor. I like writing so I figure I will go for this option and start writing.

Until next time, CW

My money making experiment.

This blog is about my health and wealth journeys and so far I have written mostly about my health. Today I am starting out on an experiment to try to earn some money on the Internet. I invite you to tag along and see how it works out. Except for the weekends and holidays I will give you a daily update here. For some time I have been interested in working from my computer to make some money. Lately I have become earnest and have begun researching the best way to do it. Affiliate marketing seems to be the best way for me since I do not have a product to sell or a warehouse to hold a product.

The basics of affiliate marketing are that you sell other peoples products and they pay you a commission. It is a simple model for making money and it has been around a lot longer than the Internet, but I was wondering how I could apply this to the Internet. You have to be able to reach a lot of people and unless you have an extremely popular website how are you going to do that. I ruled out spamming right off the bat, I hate it! I could spend my money advertising, but if I didn't know how to write the correct advertisements I would go down the crapper in a hurry while making google rich. By the way, do not run after any quick money schemes or easy Internet marketing schemes. I did and I shouldn't have. I wasted my money.

I also needed to focus on a specific product. Trying to sell everything would either waste my time or my money or both.

Today I am ready to take the plunge. After much research I am going to join Wealthy Affiliates University. I have looked every where on the web and this seems to be the best site to learn Internet marketing. I am only going to join for one month because I am still skeptical. I will post here how things go.

Until next time, CW
