The Money Is In The List

After making about $4000.00 writing articles for The Every Other Day Diet.  My keywords quit producing traffic.  Unfortunately I was spending all of my time writing under those keywords instead of branching out.  Now I realize I need to build a mailing list.

Basically I need to create a free offer with a squeeze page to collect these names.  Then I need to give quality content along with some offers.  So this is what I am going to begin to do.  The Shoemoney System is teaching me a lot and I recommend it to those who really want to learn Internet Marketing.

Advertising Is The Big Sticking Point

You can write your butt off—yea I don't have one anymore—hope you can achieve a high position on the natural search results for your keywords hope that those keywords are germane to your audience and hope that they will like the product you are promoting.  The one good point is that this is all free except for your bleeding stumps that use to be your fingers and that strange twitching of your left eye.

Or you can buy traffic and hope that your ad is germane to your audience and that they will buy the product you are promoting.  This is expensive and unless you get it right you will simply be enriching Google so they can have even more control over the Internet—sigh.  The question is where do you find advertising that is affordable and not some scam?

Right now it is Google 120 Me 47.5 so you can see who is winning this game.  I am going to look for other ways to advertise and I'll let you know how it goes.

The Email Squeeze Page Problem

So I built this great squeeze page all connected up to Mail Chip and it works great.  You get a free article marketing report in exchange for your email.  Now I am wondering how to drive quality traffic to my squeeze page.

At first I thought I'd use google ads.  HA!  That was a joke.  They wanted $2 to $3 a click and I don't have any idea what traffic to this squeeze page will be worth.  So back to the drawing board.  Well, at least I have the squeeze page set up.. Oh, by the way, if you want a decent overview of what you can expect from article marketing click here.

On To Email Marketing

Ye gads!  I am starting my email marketing campaign today.  It consists of creating a squeeze page and then driving traffic to it.  This stuff really grates on my impatience.  I want to see money now, but I know I have to wait for this system to start working.  This is the kind of things I am learning with the Shoemoney System and Wealthy Affiliate University, which by the way, has just unveiled one of the most awesome 12 week Internet courses I have seen.

I am going to offer free papers on Internet marketing on my squeeze page so if you want some go to http://www.webproduct.info/Free%20Report and get your copy.  It is actually good stuff.

An Epiphany

Boy is it rough here.  Mother nature has dumped 3 feet of snow on us.  I finally got our to take a walk today.  It was so bright my eyes were watering and I was blinking the whole way.  Ah well, it was refreshing.  Anyway, as I was walking I was thinking about Adsense.  For those of you unfamiliar with Adsense it is a way to have advertisements put on your blog and then when some one clicks on it, you get a few cents.  You have to have some pretty serious traffic in order to make any real money.

As I was thinking about the $30 I had made in the last two years with Adsense it suddenly came to me.  Why not put my own affiliate ads in place of Adsenses ads.  That way if some one buys something through one of those ads I'll make some real money.  As it turns out there are places on the web that will prepare these ads for you with your affiliate links attached and the look just like Adsense ads.  No I'll have to wait and see if this makes a big difference.

Signing Up-Shoemoney Teachings

Well, I am on the cusp of making money in the shoemoney course.  The last two videos were how to sign up with clickbank--which I already had done.  And signing up with AZN network which I hadn't done.  The next lesson will have me trying to make money.
