I’ve had a few questions about my “I’ll build your blog for you” bonus that I’m offering for Andrew Hansen’s Plug and Play Niche Cash system, so here’s the answers: -
1. Yes, you can use your own hosting, I recommend a reseller account with Hostgator, as this will allow you to host multiple domains with the same account.
2. Yes, the blog will include all 36 plugins that I use myself, including 5 bespoke plugins of my own.
3. No, I won’t be posting the articles/reviews for you, as you will need to re-write them first, but I can provide a tutorial video to show you how to make a post and to make it sticky so it stays on the home page.
4. Yes, the blog will be configured with my favorite auto content plugin to provide fresh content every day.
5. Yes, the blog will include integration with Twitter, just let me know your Twitter account info and I’ll set it all up for you.
How do you choose a Niche that’s going to make money?
It’s one of the biggest problems people face when starting out online, not just because it’s something you need to decide right at the start, but pick the wrong niche and you’re probably never gonna make a bean!
One of the most pushed answers is “go with your passion“, which is great if your passion happens to be in a highly popular and profitable niche, but if your it’s something a bit off beat like “Snail Racing” or “collecting 18th century buttons”, then that bit of advice is not going to help you one bit!
Personally I’m not too bothered about how “passionate” I am about the niche itself, I’d rather know that it’s a profitable one, that’s usually enough to keep me interested, after all, this is a business I’m running, and you should look at it in the same way.
So then it comes down to doing a whole bunch of keyword and market research to make sure…
John Thornhill’s Coaching MasterClass for 2010 has just gone live and he’s now accepting new students, although I’m not sure how long for as the places on offer are likely to be snapped up quickly, you’ll understand why when you see just how much he’s offering…
[note: skip to the bottom to see my bonus offer and how to claim yours]
I’ve posted some of the case studies from last year’s students over on IAMUncovered.com, you can see them here: -
so you can see just how happy previous students have been with John’s coaching!
John’s one of those rare “guru’s” who doesn’t make the bulk of his income from teaching, he makes it from doing what he then teaches, which means he really does know what he’s talking about and he knows exactly how to help others achieve the same results!
Last summer I noticed that a few of my niche sites where I had set up a corresponding Twitter account were starting to get more traffic from those Twitter accounts, so I figured it was time to take a more serious look at how I could capitalize on Twitter for driving even more taregted free visitors to my sites.
I spent a few weeks expanding my knowledge of exactly how Twitter works and after a lot of playing around came up with a method for building pretty big lists of targeted followers very quickly. It was one of those kind of “I can’t believe I didn’t think of that sooner” moments…
I used the tactic on a couple of accounts and ended up having to increase the bandwidth allocation on my servers for those sites because of the extra traffic that Twitter was bringing them.
At some point I was chatting on skype with my friend Tahir Shah and mentioned what I’d been doing and that I wanted to automate the whole process to make it hands free.
In my last post I talked about how good Andrew Hansen’s Automated Blogging system FirePow is and how it’s just the job for quickly knocking out Niche Money Blogs that focus on small, highly targeted, buying markets and keywords, if you missed it you can read it here: -
Well, Andrew’s just written a 30 page “no fluff” report on how to do this “niche blogging” thing, he’s kept it real simple, but has covered exactly what you need to do and how it all works, including: -
>> why “niche” blogging works
>> finding the right “Buying” niche/keywords
>> where to find the right offers (a lot easier than you might think!)
>> the only “SEO” optimization you need to worry about, and how
If you’ve been reading this blog for even a short while, you’ll know I’m a massive fan of blogging, particularly in niche markets, as a method of making fast and long lasting cash online.
I’m always telling people how easy it is to set up blogs to promote affiliate programs, get a little search engine traffic, and watch the commissions start rolling in… but…
The thing is that for most people, it’s not as easy as it for old nerds like me.
Truth be told, there’s a lot involved in picking the perfect niche market, the right product to promote, using just the right content, and knowing how to build the right backlinks to make all of it come together to result in a profit…
A buddy of mine that you’ve probably heard of has an eerily similar method to me when it comes to making profitable niche blogs. We actually got together in London earlier this year and discussed it over a beer! (or a Guinness in my case!)
I updated BlogTactics.com to the latest version of wordpress (WP 2.8.1) a couple of days ago and all of my sidebar text widgets just disappeared!
It’s taken me a little while to work out how to put them back, as it appears there’s no option for adding the old style text widgets in WP 2.8.1., so I’ve made a quick video to show you how I managed to get my text widgets put back in to my blog sidebars so you can do the same if you need to.
The video is only 7 mins long, so it’s not a biggy, and you can find the text widgets plugins on the Top WordPress Plugins Page
first of all thanks to everyone who grabbed a copy of the “$365K Blog Traffic Formula” report recently, you can read the full details here if you missed it: –
As a bonus for people buying through my link I offered to write a quick review of their blog and publish 5 (of my choice here).
I’m going to actually publish 6 in total, to show you the kind of spectrum out there, although I believe you will notice some “similarities” across the board, especially in my advice.
I’ll also do a quick summary of the blog reviews at the bottom of this post as well.
I should also point out that the “positives” and “negatives” are my opinions, based both on my experience and personal taste, so feel free to disagree!
there also tend to be more negatives than positives as I tried to concentrate on finding what is “wrong” (imho) with the blog, as correcting some basic stuff can make a huge different to how well a blog does…
