This One Is For You Sherry Ann Oakes

March 23rd, 2009 |

Good old Monday rolling back again. For those of you that go out to work this seems to be the hardest day of the week, but for me it is one of the best because I get a break from running round after my three boys over the weekend, especially this one as my husband was away

So, Sherry Ann Oakes filled out the ‘I Want To Learn About’ box, a few days ago, when she signed up at IMMembership.com, with “anything you could possibly teach me would be so appreciated.!”

I was quite touched by this as only about 10% of people that sign up actually fill anything into this box and it is normally short like “how to build a link”, which I have already answered and elaborated on this week. Sherry Ann is obviously keen to learn and get started and almost certainly an action taker. Am I right Sherry Ann?

I have taken my time in deciding what I should teach Sherry Ann & I have decided to do a 30 day training to get a brand new site up and running including how to get traffic and sales. I know this has been done many times, but never for free and not in the way I am going to approach it.

The main problem that most people face when they get started online is that there is sooooo much information and sooooo much hype and tooooo many products that they are completely overwhelmed. No one seems to start something and see it through to the end. They are always leaving it half done and then moving onto the next big thing (launch). I just heard about a $197 offer that is completely ridiculous, because so much is included on so many different topics it is not going to help anyone. Even if someone actually took the time to read it all, they would be so overwhelmed they would not be able to do anything with any of it.

I know how it is and what you are going through because that was me last year. I had about 200 domains, none were finished completely and some did not even have anything on them apart from the godaddy parked page. I had accumulated about 350 gigabytes of articles, software and products that I gave up sorting them out because it was just taking up too much time. Finally in September 2008 (when the kids went back to school after their 2 month holiday) I sored myself out. I sold all my domains, bar 5 or so, got rid of all my hosting accounts, bar 1, and spent two weeks just sorting the ’stuff’ I had accumulated into some sort of order so that I could see what I had. In October I really got going. I created a system from the knowledge I had gained in my time online and built 2 websites at a time. One website I built following the system and the other I changed the system slightly. After two weeks I looked at my results and went with the system that was working the best. I then built 2 more sites and so on and so on, until now I have about 30 sites all making money. I also took one day a week ‘off work’ to learn something new. Personally I need brain food, but it is good to keep up with the news and what is going on in the world.

Some make more than others and I don’t want to go into how much I am earning, because it changes from month to month and I want you to know that you do have to work. If you are looking for a hands off solution to $100,000 a month then by all means buy the product selling it and follow it to the letter. When it doesn’t work how you thought it would you can come back and do my training

The training I am offering is for anyone that is willing to commit to themselves (you don’t need to commit to anyone else but you as you are doing this for you) that they will stick to it and see it through to the end. You have nothing to loose as it is not costing you anything.

I am going to get started probably Monday next week as I have some other posts already in mind for this week. Before I get going with it though, I will give you some guidelines so you can get ready …

ALL the tools I will use for the training are FREE (I will assume that you have none to be sure everyone is on the same page)
DO NOT Buy Any More Stuff - whatever it is you do not need it for this training (if you still want it once you have finished, please go ahead, it is your money)
YOU MUST HAVE one domain name already registered with hosting set up ready for Day 1 (I will post some videos on how to do this before I start the training and it can be done in one day)
This is my system. Exactly what I do myself when starting up a new site, just in 30 days rather than two weeks. We all have our own pace, so you can go quicker or slower, although I don’t recommend you do more than two days training per day.

I hope this is the kind of thing you were after Sherry Ann

I Want To Learn About Link Building

November 27th, 2008 |

Author: Kelly Ifrah

John signed up at IMMembership.com yesterday and said he wanted to know more about link building, so I decided to answer him as fully as I can today.

Firstly before any sort of link building is done you need to have a website with content. This can also be an affiliate link redirect, but I would always use some form of content.

Now this man John used an e-mail that was from a domain he owned, so I went along to have a look. I wanted to see if I could get some background on him, but the site is just a fresh wordpress installation. I had a look using the way back machine as the domain is well over 4 years old, but there is nothing but a holding page to see.

There is something holding this man back from building a site and in most cases this is either that the person is chasing the next ‘greatest thing’ or they are worrying over building the best site in the world.

START TODAY. Get something up on the site, even if it a ‘I don’t know where to start, but I will’ kind of thing

Now once you have something on your site you can start building links. Below is a list of how to do build links, in no particular order. You will no doubt have seen this list before, but if you don’t do them you will not get backlinks. People always seem to think there is something missing and 99.9% of the tilme there is … they do not take action.

1) Social bookmarking - use a keyword rich title, description and as many tags/keywords as you can. Varying your title and description will help too.

2) Article Marketing - Completely unique articles will do the best, but If you are no good at writing you can just write one unique article and spin/re-write it to be about 40% unique (although the more unique the better) and submit it to the article directories. You can check the uniqueness for free at Dupecop.

3) Submit your RSS feed to the RSS Directories - if you have a html or php or asp site and are not using a blogging platform like wordpress that gives you a feed automatically visit Dapper.net and get an rss feed.

4) Trackback - this is only relevant to wordpress users, but if you link to another wordpress users blog post and they have trackbacks enabled they will see the post you made the next time they log into their dashboard and can approve or not approve it like a comment. Most people approve these trackbacks giving you a relevant backlink.

Now this list of 4 ways is not in any way exhaustive. You can also comment on other people’s blogs and post in forums with a link in your signature to your site. Like I have said more than once the most important thing is to start and once you have a few links in forums and on other people’s blogs and in the social sites other people will start to link to you too, if your content is worth linking to of course

A great example is at the end of this post there is a link with the title ‘Related articles by Zemanta’. Zemanta is a firefox add on that integrates with your wordpress dashboard. It might integrate with blogger too, I’m not sure. Anyway the link below was a suggestion from them on related content to what I am writing about in this post. Now the guy who wrote the article on the link missed out any links to his website in his article which completely defeats the object of article writing, but it still proves my point. People CAN and WILL find your website and use your content if you put it out there.

So get to it. Create 10 links to your site every day in the hope to get 4 and after a month you could have as many as 300 backlinks meaning you would beat most of your competition out of the water.

Let me know what you do to get backlinks or if you have had success doing the above. I love to hear from you.

Google Shows Us The Way To Go

November 16th, 2008 |

Author: Kelly Ifrah

Google have released heir own SEO guide. It is a 22 page easy to read pdf covering the basics of on page SEO.

I think it is a great idea and should help beginners (newbies) with getting their site up without buying this, that and the other (meaning the latest SEO ebook, software or script).

Don’t get me wrong, there are some great products out there, but ‘information overload’ can and will arrive. The people just starting out get it the worst as they search desperately for THE THING that will get them to where they want to go.

My suggestion to everyone would be to start small and build on it …

1) Buy a domain

2) Sort out hosting

3) Create a one page site selling something

4) Drive traffic to the site

5) Learn one thing new

6) Implement that change

7) Drive traffic to the site

Repeat steps 5 to 7 until that site is earning you a steady amount

9) Repeat all steps with a new site.

By the time you reach step 9 you will have learnt a lot and can implement it all straight away in your new site.

Just think, it may take you 6 months to get your first site earning $100 a month, but it will only take you 3 months to do it for the second one and less for the third etc … Within a year you could be earning $500 extra a month.

I know there are lots of people offering you lots of money per month with little effort, but this is just not the case. If you are a fast learner or have some knowledge already you are already ahead of the game.

However, stop chasing the next big thing and put yourself to work. Taking action is the only way to succeed.

Google is giving us this information, which means that this is what they use to look at sites. Implement this if nothing else. You can download it here.

Let me know your thoughts as always, I love hearing from you.
