Sample Affiliate Marketing Site

February 16th 2011 17:23
Most people involved in Affiliate Marketing absolutely will not show you their site no matter what. It's some kind of magic secret and they don't want you to:

Copy their site
Compete in their niche
Realize they are the scum of the web hocking garbage products

Me? I've put links to a few of my sites on here when they were first created and if they got popular, just changed the domain name so it wasn't bombarded by people with no intent to buy my "wool dog sweaters" or whatever.

Why don't I care if you see my sites? Well, I primarily create certain ones to complement this very site. People see the word "website" and lose their motivation completely. This shouldn't happen. I want you to see just how easy it is.


Take a look at this free one I created on Webs.com just a couple days ago

Weight Loss Reviews

This literally took all of one hour to make and most of that time was screwing around with pictures and links. As of today, Feb. 16th, not all the pages have content. This isn't a REAL site I would make because that niche isn't worth your time. There are so many weight loss sites out there, it would be a flippin miracle if you could get even one person to buy something from you. Sorry, just the facts ma'am.

What you CAN take a look at is the "conduit" site format in its beginning stages. A "conduit" site is very small, very focused, has pictures testimonials and usually some kind of rating system (I haven't put that in yet.)

This type of site is great for long-tail keywords that have 100,000 hits on Google with quotes like "stainless steel towel racks" because you become a trusted source to your visitors. 10-20 pages is plenty and you want them to be completely honest. If you have good inside information about certain towel racks, let that be known. If you haven't installed one, tell your visitors that as well. Honesty is the best policy.


Keep an eye on that site if you like. I'll add stuff to it for the next couple weeks or months until I either get bored of wasting my time doing it or it makes a sale which is pretty improbably given the niche.

More coming soon!

Review of Lazy Marketer Products

January 31st 2011 20:26


What I've been doing lately is checking out the world of affiliate marketing. I had the opportunity to attend a real life conference and speak to Chris Rempel, the creator of the Lazy Marketer series of affiliate marketing ebooks.

I was skeptical at first but this guy really took his time, explained things in real life terms that were easy to grasp, and even gave very specific examples.

What the Lazy Marketer (namely, the confessions package) is all about is creating small niche websites and filling them with great content along with some sale links to products in your specific niche. You can use Clickbank, Amazon, or any affiliate program for any company to pull this off and if you follow his instructions, you can pull it off AMAZINGLY WELL.

I did set up a site following his instructions and I make between $55 to $300 per month this way. It is a unique niche and no I won't share it haha. The secret is to choose something with 100,000 or less pages when you search for it in quotes on Google.

Since hopefully most of us here are writers, making our content is very easy. We do it everyday but sign our rights away to whoever happens to be paying us at the time. Why not spend some time making out OWN money making sites?

Overall, I highly recommend the Lazy Marketer Confessions package. It's really called Confessions of a Lazy Marketer but I think you can figure that all out.

The only expenses you need are hosting and this package itself (it's worth it if you don't know much about affiliate marketing at all.)

Check it out HERE.

I do recommend paying for a year of hosting in advance though. Even a few days of your site being down is pretty disastrous.

A class
Most people hate Essays. Do you?


While I primarily focus on web-based online writing jobs such as producing e-books and content, there's another great niche all you online writers should be aware of (if you're not already) and this niche is Essays and other school papers.

Here are some of the best sites and what they offer.

Essaywriters.net

This is the first one of these sites I found and signed up for. The first assignment I chose was a comparison essay of 2000 words featuring a politician vs a cartoon character. I used Montgomery Burns from the Simpsons and Dick Cheney. Fun to write and I was paid $120. Yeah, that much, really.

Here's a sample of what's available mid-November 2010:

Torre Fortabat, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Preferred language style: English (U.S.)

Compensation per page13.86 ($12.6 $1.26) [?]
5 pages (double spaced) total.

General Information about construction building;materials used to build, who was the contractor and architecture, how many employee were working, building codes, project delivery system being utilized especially with respect to the country which the project is located. Private or public sector

Now, if you don't know about construction or simply hate it, you'll pass. If you DO know about it, you can whip this paper up in just a couple hours and make a sweet $70. Not bad huh?

There's a LOT of sites similar to this but I'm not familiar with how and when they pay so you can Google them if you want. Many will want a sample and you may have to e-mail them to get hired.

To make the most out of papers you write, take your best one, rewrite it, then slap it on your personal website as a "sample". You can increase your client base VERY quickly by finding college kids who are lazy.

Some random e-book reader image.



Today's post is for people with two distinct traits. Those who want to make a TON of money and those who have some type of discernible skill. If you have both of these traits, keep reading, even if your "skill" is playing drinking games with your drunken buddies.

Right now you should be saying to yourself "Robert, you're a very helpful guy and because of that, I'll be clicking these Google ads for you!" right? Well, what you SHOULD be saying to yourself is "I'm reading, willing and can put in the relatively small amount of time and effort to try what you suggest."

This, folks, is the easiest way you can make a ton of money for a very long time and it's so simple I should probably be selling you this information.

The first thing you need to do is evaluate your own personal skill set. What is it that you're good at? What's your passion? What can you do fairly well?

This can be most anything. Do you have some magic secret to drive women crazy? Can you cook better than that Iron Wok guy using nothing but items from your local Food Bank? Can you teach people how to quit smoking? Do you have "how to photoshop your ex out of pictures" memorized?

Once you have your skill ready, you write an E-book about it. Not some collection of stories, not your personal history with said skill but a marketable "HOW TO" e-book that people might have some sort of interest in. A great example is one my friend wrote about "How to date women who are just in town for business." It sounds ridiculous but he made over $5000 with a 50 page e-book over the course of 6 months when his hosting ran out and he basically forgot to keep paying for it. By the time he had his site back up, someone had done that same topic better than him. It helps to be a pioneer in a certain topic or at least do it better than the competition.

Setting up your E-book is very simple. You make an outline first so your E-book flows nicely from beginner to advanced OR just make a bunch of them so your customers keep coming back. You can decide that for yourself.

The key to the e-book is simplicity. Most people will read this on their PC and anything that's too technical or boring may put them off and they'll request a refund. You don't want that.

If you are making a stop smoking e-book (bad idea), you might have categories like:
Preparing to stop smoking
Using free resources in your area
How to get support from friends/family
Alternatives for orally fixated smokers
Etc.

The key is to make every page of your e-book fun to read. If people have a genuinely fun experience while learning something useful, they won't want a refund and might even tell a friend to buy your e-book instead of bootlegging it.

Once you have your e-book together, you'll need to get a couple things set up. These are the Landing Page and web hosting. Pay for 1 year of web hosting up front. It's cheap. Save up while you're perfecting your e-book. There's NO EXCUSE not to do it. The landing page, well, you can either make that yourself, buy a template, bootleg a template, find a free template or hire some poor schmuck to do it for you (I wouldn't pay over $25).

You've seen landing pages all over. Those long convoluted sales pitches that pop up when you don't really want them to. That's what you want but make it interesting. Nobody likes the huge ones with 100 obviously bogus testimonials on them. Use some imagination.

Once you have your e-book and your landing page, head to Clickbank and put it up for others to promote. They WILL promote it. Go to Clickbank and take a look at that garbage. Most of it is retarded. You can do better than them and not resort to offering trash right? DO IT NOW. THEN DO IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN!

If you don't know how to do any of these steps, hire someone to do them for you. Even the e-book if you must. Hopefully you're some kind of writer or you wouldn't be reading this so you should do it yourself

Any questions? Need advice? I'm available.

Dropping down Google...

October 5th 2010 02:31
So I've noticed this site is dropping down Google, hopefully due to some sites my readers are building haha! If you have a moment, put a link to this site on your website or blog or share it with your Facebook friends if you find it helpful.

I'm about 50% through my Fixer-Upper process with this thing which will cut out some dead links and places that simply aren't useful anymore

Beginners Work At Home As a Writer Guide

Some of you stumbled across this blog and realize it's a big mess. I have 1/2 finished ideas (some of which are fully completed by the way) and goals scattered around what should be more of a blog aimed at helping people start from A to B without any bullcrap along the way. My goal for the end of September is to make this much easier to navigate which means I'll be scrapping at least 50% of it entirely

Continuing From Last Post

August 2nd 2010 15:43
It's been a couple weeks and I'm updating.

I now have 12 articles sitting in the AC queue with just 2 published. The review times are abysmal but I blame summer for that. Lots of new would be work at homers jump on during summer and give it a shot. Good for them
