Work from home. Easy and simple to do.
Dan Lopez and I recently did a very successful and profitable internet marketing experiment combining techniques and marketing strategies openly published by leading internet marketers.
We made a sale within seven days
of launching a series of mini-sites and we immediately ranked on Google with solid page one and page two results. And we started getting traffic. Free traffic. No PPC, no advertising, no videos, no articles, no press releases. Solid “I am ready to buy” qualified traffic and buyers. Immediately.
And all this free traffic was highly qualified and in the “I Am Ready to Purchase This Product Now” phase of the buying process - simply because of our strategically-chosen keyword and keyword phrases. No casual information seekers. When they got to the site they were ready to buy.
One product. One keyword. One consistent message. One click through to buy a merchant’s product and an affiliate commission to us. Simple.
This is better than having to buy and own merchandise, build a website, find a market, build a list.
You get the picture. It can be daunting. One of the earliest mentors in my career was Jim Koester, owner of The Gibraltar Trade Center in Taylor, Michigan. He was the king, and I mean the king of wholesale liquidation and generating huge crowds to his Weekend Public Market. Some very good advice which he gave me early on about products and buying and selling in the liquidation industry was, “Don’t look at it, don’t love it, don’t touch it. Buy it and sell it. Immediately.” The other piece of good advice he gave me which came in handy when I owned my bookstore was, “Never confuse crowds with money.” Time and time again he proved to be so “right on” with that advice.
It was that advice from Jim Koester which helped frame in Dan’s and my mindset for this “money-getting” internet marketing experiment. Dan and I didn’t really want just crowds, we wanted qualified buyers (who doesn’t, right?).
It was easy to follow simple guidelines
Dan established some site design guidelines to attract and capture the eyes of site visitors. For instance, all crucial elements above the fold, a compelling “call to action” graphic image, the correct balance of H1 and H2 tagged headlines and sub-heads, strategically-placed keyword phrases in each paragraph, and crucial keyword-rich links to similar websites.
The best part is we didn’t have to spend a dime on additional websites or hosting or domains. We used an existing network of personal websites and within seven days of creating the mini-sites we made the first sale utilizing the principles of The FAR Approach.
Pretty simple logic. Focus. Action. Results.
We focused on the highly competitive HDTV market niche within the electronics market. Pretty gutsy if you ask me to try and compete as newbies in a highly keyword-competitive market. The simple research we utilized showed us there were huge advertising dollars being spent on the HDTV market niche, and even though we started after the Christmas shopping season, we knew we could catch some of the HDTV Super Bowl traffic. We weren’t expecting to get all the traffic. We just wanted a small piece of that traffic to visit our sites. We just wanted to generate interest and free traffic. And we did. Surprisingly the traffic hasn’t really slowed down much (except for on Super Bowl Sunday!) because of the way we wove our long-tail keyword phrases throughout the text, meta tags and descriptions. It was very easy to do. You can do this too.
Ok, you might be asking yourself, “How can I do this?”
Is it simple? Does it really work? Can I do this if I don’t have any experience selling on the internet?
The answer to each of your questions is yes, you can do this too. If you can browse and identify bestselling products on Amazon (or from any other vendor with an affiliate program) and use a simple HTML template, you can duplicate everything we did and generate traffic, and make commissions on products shoppers buy. This, at the “very most simple best” is all you have to do. And I have even figured out a way to do this for free, without having to go through the expense and upkeep of buying domain names and hosting websites.
The theory is simple.
Catch the people when they are ready to buy. Choose your products to match popular gift-giving holidays (Hallmark has certainly defined those days for us!), discover your own niche to match your personal passion, or just get downright down and dirty and competitive and go after established market niches.
Your start up is simple and easy.
Take it at your own pace in your spare time or go into it full time. You just have to add the words to the pages. And they don’t even have to be your words. Just gather the data and add your own flavor and personality to what you are selling.
You can’t take ACTION if you are in the middle of the confusion and chaos of “Information Overload”!
There are so many products I could recommend to you to do this. But the problem you will encounter is what I went through. You will soon begin to experience what all internet marketers come to know as “Information Overload.” You will end up spinning your wheels trying to put together all the pieces of the “internet making money online” jigsaw puzzle. Don’t do that. I don’t want you to do that. You can’t take Action if you are in the middle of the confusion and chaos of “Information Overload”!
See the RESULTS for yourself - See how simple and easy it can be
So, rather than give you too many choices, I am going to send you to two different website locations so you can see for yourself how simple and easy it can be to make money online. Yes, you can be just seven days away from your first sale too! The first site is for a “7 Days to the Sale” report which Dan Lopez put together about what we did. He used our “7 Days to the Sale” success as a case study for The FAR Approach.
A product I am comfortable recommending to you!
The second is for a product which I am comfortable recommending to you as the easiest to understand and use program which explains how we did what we did, and why we did everything the way we did. This is a great program for “newbies” and experienced pros alike. BUT, it is the best place for you to start your online business, and you will not experience the confusion of information overload. You will get just what you need to succeed with your internet business.
Continued success to you!
