Making Money In Niches You Know Nothing About

As affiliate marketers we’re frequently required to appear “authoritative”, often on subjects we personally know very little about. How many of us are really experts on acne treatments, or weight loss supplements, or forex trading platforms despite having websites in those markets?

Fortunately there are some very simple ways that you can instantly be able to connect with your readers, be authoritative in your market, and give your visitors exactly the information they want, just as though it came from a trusted friend. This is just one of those ways: Read More

Less Than 10 Days Later, 1st Commission

Every product we’ve released for the past few years, I’ve said something at the end of the course material like this:

“The information you’re reading now… SOMEONE is going to take it, and turn it into a serious passive income and a huge online business. It happens every time, every product I’ve ever released. Of all the people who buy it, there will be a few for whom it changes their income and their life forever. Why not make YOU that person?”

I sometimes wonder if people take me seriously on that. Read More

As mentioned, I had a bunch of thoughts for you this week, none of which was enough for a blog post on it’s own, so I thought I’d throw you some newsletter style reading and in the process, a bunch of cool info that should have something for everyone… here goes:

Non Product Name Keywords

Every now and then, certain things I say come back to bite me in small ways. We release a product called Elite Niche Research which is entirely about techniques for finding brand searched affiliate offers, and discusses how they are the only ones worth targeting in your search campaigns. Then if somewhere else, I suggest targeting a non brand name keyword – people freak out… “I thought you said ONLY brand name keywords!”. Allow me to comment on this. Read More

Google: Do What I Say, Not What I Rank

So I’m doing a little spying on a search engine competitor for a particular keyword today. The site I’m looking up is one I’ve seen just ahead of me, fluctuating between position 1 & 2 (I’m at 3-4) for some time. I figure it’s got a pretty well established position.

I go to Yahoo Site Explorer, and check out their backlinks. There are tools to do this, but I don’t mind this free tool for checking backlinks – a good tip for those of you looking to do the same.

My goal is of course to see if they have any backlinks that I could replicate. Maybe a blog they commented on where I can comment too… a forum or a profile site where I can get a link as well. Read More

Look At Our Wave Of Resistance Growing

3 Comments
By admin

I’ve been using this phrase for a while now, saying that a “wave of resistance” is growing toward crappy offers, lying and deception in the online marketing space.

It occurred to me that you might not be fully aware of just how significant this wave is. So I want to make sure you’re seeing what I see.

Particularly in this last couple of weeks, things have really exploded. Those two products, the stripper launch, and the “get free FB ads” scam, have really sparked widespread rage, where people are coming out of the wood works all over the place… people I’ve never heard of before… and ranting their disgust at what’s going on.

I wanted to create a post to document some of these heroes. Really hold them to the light, both to glorify them for their brave work, and to give you a proper sense of just how intense this “protest” is becoming. Read More
