Use Mobile Phones To Build A List

If you have been around the internet money scene for any length of time you will have heard the expression, “The money is in the list.”

Why do you keep reading this oft repeated motto? Basically because it is true. Now you can leverage the incredible market that is available on mobile phones using Admob

I am going to come clean here and admit that I really never saw the potential of building a list but after having spent the last couple of months investigating it I have really changed my tune.

You need to think of a list as a little goldmine, everyone on it is a little nugget of gold and with a well run list you will always have a group of buyers to hand.

Now, your list is precious and f you nurture it with good information and real advice the folks on your list will come to trust you and your advice. Imagine if your best friend comes round and says, “Hey, I’ve found a great program to improve my golf you should try it!”

Isn’t it quite likely that you would try it. OK so you may not buy it but you would check it out.

Now imagine if a used car dealer knocked on your door, even if he said the exact same words as your friend what are the chances that you would bother.

You need to be a best friend to your list and they will listen. So next time you send them an email saying “Check this out,” they will probably do it.

Ok, so you don’t have a list, easy, build one. Yeah I know, it’s not quite as easy as that but then again it is if you are willing to invest a little cash up front.

Here is a fool proof way to build your own little goldmine in literally days.

This method will cost you around $75 but think of it as an investment in your future.Your list will last for ever, well almost!

You will need to set up a simple squeeze page in a mobile format, this is not too difficult and there is lots of information about it on the web, just Google ‘mobile web pages.’

You will need this squeeze page to take advantage of the massive consumer base out there with mobile phones, cell phones as the Americans say.

Consider this, 1.5 billion people have internet access on their computer but nearly 5 billion people access the web on their phone. Read that again, 5 billion!

Ok, you have your mobile web page so all you need on it is a sign up form. You can get this from Aweber, (free trial for a dollar). This is where you will build your list, or lists.

I suggest starting with just one for the time being and making it targeted. By that I mean go for a niche like golf, weight loss, fitness etc.

Don’t worry about the market being saturated, this is not SEO, this is list building.

OK, so now you head on over to Admob. This is a Google site that sells advertising on mobile phones and this is where you will be getting your customers.

I won’t go into all the details about setting up an account because it is really easy and once you have set it up there are some great training videos on how to set up campaigns.

All you have to do is run a campaign with a simple text advert which will send the user to your squeeze page. Offer a free report in exchange for their email and bang! you have a prospect for ever.

Set up an ad which says something like:

Grab Your Free Fitness Guide Now!

Make the destination URL your squeeze page and Aweber does the rest.

Each ad. will cost you around $0.03 a click yes thats 3 cents per click and the take up rate is massive.

I am going to expand on this subject over the next few posts because it is so exciting and even better it is simple and it works.

If you think this system will work for you, I know it will, and you want a method that can take a lot of the stress out of it head on over to MobileMonopoly.com and check out their offer.

In the meantime here are some free reports that you can use as bait.

Fitness Reports

Keep at it till the magic works!

Free Content And Bonus

Free content posted automatically to your blog. If you struggle to keep coming up with content, articles or posts to your wordpres blog there is a new autoposter on the block.

SeoLinkVine is a new auto posting network which gives you the opportunity to have loads of posts sent to your blog on autopilot. You can sign up for free and for the next week or so you will get $1 sent to your paypal account for each blog that you submit. So, it’s free and you get a $1 bonus.

Will it work? I don’t know and I would certainly not use it for my top blogs but I have several blogs that do not really fill me with enthusiasm and so I have added these just to get a whole bunch of posts for free. The blogs are set to send out new posts through Feedburner and they also tweet through Twitterfeed and so it should pull in some visitors through these and the RSS dirctories.

You can set up the posts so that you can have between 1 and 5 sent each day and you can auto approve or do it manually although that does seem to defeat the purpose and you can also automatically reject articles that are not at leeast 30% unique.

You can also get an affiliate link and for everyone that signs up through you you can get an extra dollar so check out Seolinkvine and lets all get a free $.

Even More Keyword Research

Hi all,

I hope we are all grabbing some coin, and starting to make a living online. This is part six, I think of my mini series on finding profitable keywords.

The point we are covering today is, does Google want or need your information? I read every day on the various forums that I visit, Google does not like affiliate sites!, Google does not want anyone to make money online! Google de-indexes Squidoo, Bans, PHPBay sites.

Let me tell you, this is complete b*ll*cks. Google does not hate affiliate sites, build a niche store sites or any kind of site per se. What Google does like is information, it eats it up and if you can feed it something it has not had before it is your best friend.

Hear what I’m saying? Unique content, people! I will yell that at you UNIQUE CONTENT!!!

Point two was ‘Does Google need your content? Think about this for a minute. Google is the number one search engine and it got to that position by serving up web pages to searches that it thought were relevant.

OK, it’s not perfect but then nothing is, there are many billions of web pages and trying to sort them into what is relevant and what is not is one hell of a job.

Let no one tell you they know the secret of Google. They don’t. ( unless they are Matt Cutts of course) We as affiliates work on what can only ever be, best guess because Google or Matt Cutts aint telling, so what is best guess. Lets look at it from Google’s point of view.

Google does not care if you earn money online, Google does not hate affiliates. What Google cares about is providing their customers with information about the keyword the customer provided. So all we have to do is feed Google with info that it has not had anywhere else.

This is easier said than done of course but by producing unique content we have a head start. We need to do a little research to find out what it needs….continued tomorrow….

Make Easy Money Online Slowly

It is entirely possible to make easy money online if you go about it in the right way. No doubt you have all seen the adverts, “Make Money Fast” and “Get Rich in 7 Days” and so on, don’t believe it!

When I look at any sales page I read the first paragraph and if it says either one of those things I just hit the back button on the browser. I know it’s a con.

To make a good second income online, or indeed a great first income you will have to exercise some patience. There is no way to beat the system and maintain it.

The basis of any online earnings is to have a website that ranks on page one of Google and if you can crack that you are on your way. Many affiliate sites fail because they go too fast, they throw up a page and then hit the social book marks and article directories.

This is a basic error. Google will index your page without any backlinks at all within a few days. Why? Because it is new and hopefully fresh.

I think of it like a library, which it basically is, a new book comes in and it goes on to the nw book shelf at the front of the library.

After a while, this new book is replaced by newer books and so it goes into the library section with all the other books. After some time if that book is not checked out it will be taken out and replaced, but if it is asked for by visitors to the library it can go onto the “Popular Books” shelf at the front.

Google does the exact same thing. A new webpage may pop up on the first couple of pages (The new book shelf), as time goes on it gets replaced by newer web pages and so sinks down in the listings, but if it is requested by visitors (backlinks) it will again rise to the top.

In the case of Google, the algorythm by which it sorts all its pages will know when these requests are coming in. If it suddenly finds that there are hundreds of backlinks to a new page it becomes suspicious that someone is trying to game the system, poof! the page is de-indexed.

So, to make money online tread cautiously, by all means create a couple of backlinks, say, a press release or an article or two, but then hold off.

I normally leave a site to simmer for about 3 months before doing anything else and this gives the page time to settle into its place,  then I will start to build backlinks. This will look entirely natural and the page will not get penalised for gaming the system.

So, make money online slowly and it should last a long time.

Keyword Research Baiting The Hook

How we all doing?

Right, how do we find out the right keyword to use as our bait?

I am going to point out a couple of rules now that will at least give you a way to make your decisions based on what I have found to be true.

1) A good keyword in the buying stage will be three to six words long.

2) A good keyword will have searches of over one thousand per month.

Ok for point number one lets look at why that might be true. Imagine you are a buyer and you want a widget, if you are ust deciding on buying a widget you will in all likelyhood type ‘widget’ into Google and look around to see what is available.

Moving on, you have already done this and you have decided that, yes, you want a widget but which one? A blue widget, a green widget? OK so now you type into Google ‘Blue widgets’ Now, you are narrowing it down and so you finally decide on a blue widget with fur on it.

Now you type ‘blue furry widget’ and buy one.

Now, lets look at the keywords:

Widget; 10000 searches per month, no sales.

Blue widget; 5000 searches per month, no sales

Blue furry widget; 1000 searches per month 10 sales.

Which keyword will you go for? 10000 visitors per month and no sales or 1000 visitors and 10 sales?

This series continues tomorrow….

Comparipress WordPress PlugIn

Comparipress WordPress Plug In

Ben Johnson has informed me of a new wordpress plug in that he is developing that will make the difficulties of using price comparison plug ins a thing of the past.

Comparipress promises to be a simple to use plug in which will not involve signing up with several different merchants and yet give you the ability to feature items from lots of differing sources.

There will be no monthly fee, a drawback of several other plug ins and so you should be clearing profit sooner.

I myself am looking forward to a plug in that is much less time consuming, less work and offers great flexibility. Keep checking in and when Comparipress becomes available I will let you know ASAP.
