Welcome to the  Millionaire Blueprint to making money online.

If you have been struggling to make money online it can seem as if nothing works, this is not true. You just need to focus and concentrate on one thing at a time and believe me you can make job killing money time and time again.

My  Millionaire Blueprint will hopefully show you a simple step by step method to getting the money rolling in and once you have got the ball rolling you will see that making cash on the internet is not as hard as the gurus would have you believe.

Most of the Blueprint will involve using free methods and applications and I will also explain some of the paid tools that I use all the time.

You do not have to spend a fortune, I know a fortune can be $20 if you don’t have it and so I will not be recommending fancy schemes that you will not need.

Be Warned! You will have to do some work for this method to work for you and so don’t be thinking it is a get rich quick plan.

Step 1: Find a market. If you want to sell something you need someone who wants to buy. Simple but true. The internet world is your oyster and you have the ability to sell anything online. Fact!

To find your market you can do some simple research, go to Google’s keyword tool and find out what people are looking for. It is a easy as that the more people that are searching, the more buyers there are likely to be.

I can tell you off hand that weightloss, exercise, sports and hobbies are all great markets and more importantly they are buying markets but there are thousands of others.

Some people will say, “oh, but they are so saturated I won’t stand a chance!”

I say, “Yes, they are full of marketers already, targeting loads of very high traffic keywords and that is good!”

A lot of marketers means one thing, there’s money there, we can just go and grab our share.

Ok, we have found a market with lots of buyers spending money so we go to:

Step 2: Find some affiliate products to promote. You can find these everywhere but a common place to look is Clickbank. There are others but I like Clickbank because it is pretty global and you won’t know where all your buyers will come from. Next:

Step 3: Grab some private label rights material that deals with the market you have picked. Spend half an hour surfing for PLR and you will find loads of it. Some good, some OK and some crap.

You can find plenty of free stuff online but this will be towards the crap end, I use a couple of paid sites which I know will give me good content and plenty of it. It costs but there is a substantial time saving and as they say, time is money. One of the best is the PLRBookClub , the other is my little secret. Oh, Ok it’s All Private Label Content

Step 4:The massive advantage of using PLR is that someone has already done all the groundwork for you. You could even skip Step 1 and go straight to the PLR. If it is being produced there will be a market, that’s why it is produced in the first place!

Let me expand on this for a moment, PLR is usually written for marketers as website content, blog posts etc. So if there are lots of sites for say, weightloss then there will be lots of PLR dealing with weightloss. Makes sense huh?

Step 5: Sorry, but this is where the work comes in. When you have collected, three or four nice PLR ebooks, articles or whatever you are going to sit down and collate them.

Virtually every bit of PLR will have one piece of good information within. Most will have more. The problem is that most will have a lot of generic fluff which only serves to add bulk. There is a perceived value to a larger ebook which most marketers rely on. We don’t.

Using a free program like OpenOffice you can just take out the important bits and collect them all together in one document. You could rewrite the individual parts but I have literally copied and pasted the bits I want and that works fine.

Don’t worry about plagiarism, it’s PLR and so you have the right to do this. Within this .pdf you are going to have your affiliate links. When people read a report about something they will often click through a link to find more information,(humans are basically lazy and if you provide an easy link they will use it) and often they will buy.

A great learning resource which will show you how to really use the power of private label rights is PLRUnleashed This really explains how anyone can harness the potential of the PLR market to really draw in some big bucks.

Having collated your document you can save it as a .pdf and bang! you have your own product.

Now what do you do?

Step 6: There are several options and so lets take a look at a few.

Build a website to advertise your report. Whoa! that sounds like a lot of work and it is. The other problem of course is that we have already dived into a market that is heaving with other affiliates, getting a website ranked on the first page of Google would be a nightmare. Move on.

PPC or Pay Per Click is another method but if you are on a budget to start with this may be too expensive.

My preferred method is to go right back to Clickbank.

Clickbank currently have around a hundred thousand affiliates who regularly use the site to find products to promote.

This means that you as a publisher can instantly have a huge workforce which is only ever paid on results. If you list your report on Clickbank you are almost guaranteed sales.

Lets say you have produced a report and priced it at around $17 you give up to 75% of that purchase price to the affiliate. This means they get about $12.75 and you make $4.25, doesn’t sound much does it. But! This doesn’t matter.

You are not going to be making your money from a little report at $17 a time, your bucks are going to be coming from the affiliate links within the report.

Now, consider this, you have produced a report in a highly competitive market and so there will be lots and lots of affiliates who will want to promote a small report as they sell like hot cakes.

If you have taken the time to craft some good content everybody who buys it will then become a potential buyer. Imagine a hundred thousand salesmen and women pushing your affiliate links under the noses of millions of buyers can you fail to make money?

First, what is PLR? PLR or Private Label Rights are one of the affiliates best friends. It is a licence to adapt, edit and generally change the content and claim it as your own. Take care to read the licence as sometimes additional conditions apply.

PLR is a tool like any other and it needs to be handled in the right way. It must be viewd as just that, a tool. If you buy a bunch of PLR articles and just throw it up without the proper consideration it will definitely harm your site.

In order to make PLR work you will need to edit it and change it around to make it unique. Consider this, if you have aquired some PLR then there will be other affiliates who have also got exactly the same stuff, if you do not change it at all, as many marketers don’t, you could have exactly the same content as hundreds or thousands of other sites.

This duplicate content will do you no good what so ever and in fact could do damage to your site. So a quick ten minute change around is definitely worth the time.

Lets say you have a PLR article, the first and most important change is the title. It should take ten seconds to come up with a new, original title which will instantly make your article different.

I like to load up most articles into Textpad, grab a keyword and use the ‘Replace all’ function to automatically change them to something different but similar. If your artcle is based on a keyword like, ‘womens high heels’ I change it to ‘ladies stilettos’

Google knows these terms are related but you have now made your article more unique.

After these two very simple changes I will take each paragraph, one by one and re-write them in my own words. Believe me this takes minutes and at the end you will have an article which is totally your own and unique to your site.

A good idea is to simply add or subtract some parts, it takes only a couple of minutes to grab some more content and insert it into your article. So, for my high heels site, I would pop a keyword into Google and browse the results for some extra info that I can rewrite and add to my original.

One PLR article can be turned into five ten or even more pieces inside an hour or so and you can submit them to different article directories which will give you links back to your site thus increasing traffic.

When submitting you articles to the article sites remember to also change your resource box around too. It is not good practice to suddenly a hundred links appearing around the net all saying the same thing.

Use different but related keywords as your anchor text and Google will not penalise you for unnatural linking. So in my example above I would use anchor text such as:

High Heeled Shoes

High Heels

Stiletto Heels

Ladies High Heels

This will look completely normal to the spiders and therefore the links will have a better chance of being indexed and therefore be useful to your site.

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!

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 $.

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….

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.

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….

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.

There are numerous keyword research tools available some free, some very expensive but the cost or otherwise is not neccesarily an indicator of how good they are. I use several different things to help me decide which keywords to target.

The Google Keyword Tool

This is a good first choice if you are starting out. Although free it will give you a headstart in the search for keywords that you may not of thought of yourself. The drawback is that you then have to flip backwards and forwards between the keyword tool and the search pages to get the competition numbers. The Google Keyword Tool is here

Mozilla Firefox and SEO Extension.

If you use the  Google Keyword Tool the Firefox browser with the SEO extension is a must. It allows you to get so much information at one place it is priceless. Firefox and SEO

Those are the free tools and they have their place on your computer however if you intend to get serious there are some paid tools which are worth considering. The best thing about them is not the information that they get you, you can get that for free as I have said, the best reason for buying them is the enormous amount of time that they can save.

Wordtracker

Wordtracker is a subscription tool that charges a monthly fee for access. It is a very popular keyword research tool for affiliate marketing and avoids the pitfalls of many desktop based tools in that you are using their bandwidth and proxy servers. You have a variety of tools in one and it is quite quick, the drawback for me was the monthly fee. If you are researching keywords a lot then this is a great tool and worth the money. Personally I look for a bunch of keywords in one go and then concentrate on content so I wasn’t using it to the full, however if you are into bum marketing or article writing this is heartily recommended. Find out about the free trial here

Microniche Finder

This is my favourite keyword tool at the moment. There, I said it, for the price this research tool is incredible. I am an affiliate niche marketer at heart and MNF allows you to get to keywords and search terms so quickly it is worth twice the price in my opinion. This is a one off payment keyword research tool that sits on your computer,I will be putting some posts up about how to get the most out of it but in the meantime check it out here.

Keyword Elite

In my opinion-Don’t bother! Sometimes hype and advertising overcome actual product. Think Windows v Mac, if your’e old enough think VHS v. Betamax. I did use this keyword tool for some time and occasionally it worked very well, but, most of the time it locked up, required captcha codes to be entered every 30 seconds and frequently got me banned by Google. This very expensive tool in my opinion is a waste of time.

As I said Page Rank is a factor in deciding on whether you want to target a particular keyword.  Now perhaps this is not as clear to you as it is to me, but I have been doing this for quite a while and sometimes forget that other people have not got to the same stage .

When you perform any keyword research part of the equation is the competition and how strong is that competition. If you find a search term that has a lot of searches and few results pages, is that a good keyword?

On the face of it, yes, high search/low results= Good! But there is another factor and that is the PR (page rank) of the sites that are listed in the return. Lets research the term ‘fuzzy red widget’ Hey there are 120,000 searches a month, thats a lot of searches, lots of people want fuzzy red widgets!

Lets say there are only 5000 results for the term ‘fuzzy red widget’, this looks promising but if the PR of each page is between 7 and 10 you will have a lot of trouble getting your page anywhere near them. Remember PR is a measure of importance determined by Google and so a high PR is harder to beat than a low one. It may have 120,000 searches but you will never get any of them.

Lets try again, ‘red hairy widgets’ has 50,000 searches each month and there are 50,000 results. This does not look brilliant, fewer searches and more results. But, hang on, the PR of the sites on the first page never gets above 2, this means that you have a very good chance of beating any one of them. This would get you on the first page with a term that is searched for 50,000 times a month. Excellent!

Before you go checking up on me, the figures above are imaginery.

There is a tool that can speed this whole process up and it is free. The best browser around is Firefox, if you haven’t got it go get it now. You can download it for free here. Once you have that head on over here to get the seo Firefox extension. This allows you to view PR, back links, page links and much more. Once again it is free!
