Hey Everyone,
It's been quite a while since I last posted here, about 3 months and 11 days to be exact..
Although I haven't been posting here, I've still been busy with Internet Marketing. I've learned more tips and tricks and I'll be sharing them with you soon on my brand new Internet Marketing website (The link will be shared in another post).
So...What I have learned in the past 3 months?
Well, Internet Marketing usually moves at a hugely rapid pace and these past 3 months have been no different. In these past 3 months I've learned about the Tag And Ping concept, a few Black Hat SEO tricks and how to niche blog properly. As i said before, I'll be sharing all these tips with you as soon as I can get my new site up and running.
I'd also like to give some free publicity for Steve's Answering Service blog.

Ok, i was going to save this for later on in the week but i've decided to dive into it right now even though I'm currently typing up a Project Plan for MyAdsenseGuide.com.
Website Slavery For Free
The quickest, easiest and cheapest (free) way to build your own website slave is to use a free blogging account courtesy of Blogger.com. You can register and build a blog in minutes!
The reason why Blogger is great for website slavery is because it is free and has Adsense integrated! All you need to do is create an account, select a template, apply for Adsense then add Adsense through the Blogger control panel.
If you do not have an Adsense account already, getting one is relatively simple. Make a blogger account, fill it with some content then apply for Adsense. You should be granted an account within one week.
After you have your blog and an adsense account, add adsense into your blog. Make sure your adsense placements blend in with your blog (use colours which match your external links) to increase CTR (Click Through Rates). I have found that wrapping adsense around articles works well.
The ads that appear on your blog should be relevant to the topic of your blog. By topic, i mean the content in your blog i.e. Cars, Computers, Health, etc. Some niche topics will generate higher amounts of money per click than others depending on maximum bids by advertisers (there is a way to check this and it will be explained in a later post).
You should have half of a website slave ready now, but it is not quite ready yet. To increase your earnings, you should add related affiliate links to your niche. So for example, if your site is about Dieting, you might want to head over to Clickbank, PayDotCom or Tradedoubler and put an affiliate link to a dieting product on your blog. This means everytime you sell that dieting product, you will recieve a commission per sale (usually between $10 - $40 depending on price and commission level).
The use of Adsense and Affiliate links gives you the flexbility of earning from two income streams using one blog. You get the benefit of grabbing some "small change" (around $0.10 - $1 per click) from Adsense AND up to $40 per sale from an affiliate every day.
Your website slave is now complete. But one thing is missing. Yes, you need people to visit your site.Without traffic, you won't get any adsense clicks or any sales. Some of the methods i use to get traffic are:
1. Posting On Forums (advertise using signature at the bottom of each post)
2. Writing Articles (advertise using "Author's Resource Box")
3. Writing Press Releases
4. Search Engine Optimisation
5. Pay Per Click Traffic (Adwords and Overture)
The methods mentioned above are great for generating traffic. I'll need to go into them in a bit more detail but time is running out so i'll probably make another post later this week.
What you need to do now, is take some action and begin building your website slave. Remember, you can have an unlimited number of slaves.........all working for you while you sleep......

Good Afternoon Readers (are there any?, lol),
I'll have a few days spare this week to do some updating and some serious Internet Marketing work. I seriously love this stuff, there's nothing better than making money from the comfort of your own home.......except making it while you sleep! (very possible)
Infact, believe it or not, most of the money i make through IM'ing is accumulated while i'm sleeping in my warm and cosy bed. How can this be? Well, it's simply because 80% my target audience are from Asia and America. This means that while i'm sound asleep, they are waking up and logging onto one of my automatic money-making machines (my websites, duh) and happily doing what consumers do....umm consume..
I don't really work, my websites do. They work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and i don't need to pay them! (ok so that's not technically true, website hosting costs £10 per year). Other than that, they are just the best employees in the world!
Let's move on to how to acquire your own "website slave"...for free. I'm currently developing a new site called MyAdsenseGuide.com (i've registered it already because i knew you were thinking of stealing it and selling it back to me for $1000, which i probably would've bought....but thats a story for another day...) Anyway, the new site is going to have everything you need to build a "website slave". It won't be solely based on adsense but also go into affiliate networks and other affiliate marketing details.
I'm currently still planning the content of the website, so if there's something IM related that you'd like to see on there, feel free to post a comment on this blog and i'll try to add it. If you can't wait 'till MyAdsenseGuide.com is finished, later this week i'll be making a post on how to set up your own Website Slave for free....
I'll be back....

Outsourced content is becoming increasingly popular and with the introduction of sites such as eLance and RentACoder, it has never been easier.
In my last post, i mentioned that there was a secret to the Stress Relief related site that i had just built. Well, that secret is that all of the content from that site was not written by myself - it was outsourced and written by someone else.
Why Did I Choose To Outsource?
Due to time constraints, i simply do not have enough time to write information for each niche market that i'm building a site for. Also, i may not have sufficient knowlegde on that particular market. Outsourcing allows me to get the information i want quickly and efficiently so that i can turn them into sites......which means more money for me.
What Did I Outsource?
You can outsource anything on eLance. You could have a website designed for you, graphics created for you or even a whole ebook written for you. However, For content sites, you'll want articles on your niche market written for you.
I had 10 articles on Stress written for me which i supplied the keywords for. The articles were all very well written from a highly experienced writer and took only 3 days turnaround.
How Did I Outsource And Can You Give Me Any Tips?
First of all, i made an account with eLance. I then had to verify my bank details with them (they make two small deposits and i had to verify both amounts). After that, i posted a project of what i wanted written. After the project was posted, i started recieving bids from writers who wanted to take on the project. In total, i recieved 15 bids with costs for 10 articles ranging from $80 to $200.
Some tips that i can give you are:
An Info Sheet is simply a document which describes everything that you want the writer to do. i.e. You could include guidelines, keywords that they must use and any other rules. If you'd like the Info Sheet i used for my stress site as a template, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Was It Worth It?
Each article cost me $10 each, so for 10 articles i spent $100. All i need to do is make $100 back from that site and i've broke even which is perfectly achievable.
In my opinion, i would say that my decision to outsource WAS worth it. It saved me a lot of time and made setting up another content site extremely easy. I managed to set up the stress site in about an hour and now all i have to do is promote it so that it i make my investment back.
At the moment, the stress site DOES recieve some visitors but not a great amount. I'll be working on promoting the site in the next week and will update you all on the results.

I've got a spare 10 minutes so i thought i'd make a nice post on this blog about site updates and the progress of some of my projects. Read carefully, you might learn something new.
I'll be online for the next 3 hours doing some work and keeping an eye out for one of my auctions. I'm currently selling a domain name on eBay and it's finishing in less than 3 hours. My reserve price has been met and there's 2 watchers on the auction......things could heat up very quickly towards the end...
I'll be online for the next 3 hours doing some work and keeping an eye out for one of my auctions. I'm currently selling a domain name on eBay and it's finishing in less than 3 hours. My reserve price has been met and there's 2 watchers on the auction......things could heat up very quickly towards the end...
I wasn't sure if i should post about this because the auction is still active. Oh well, it's too late now so i may as well "spill the beans". Last month, i read about Domain Name Trading, i decided to give it a try. I'm used to trading on Betting Exchanges but Domain Name Trading is much easier. All you need to do is Buy Domains and Sell them for more than you bought them for.
Sounds easy huh? Yep, there's no need to watch "volume of money" or price charts at all. You simply buy and sell domains for profit. Selecting which domains to buy is a little trickier, i'd recommend a nice generic term such as BuyStorage.co.uk (That's the one i'm selling).
I manage my domains on Sedo (Domain Parking Site) which provides stats and also a small stream of income IF one of the ads on my parked domains are clicked. Out of the 7 domains i have, i use 3 of them for business purposes and i'm going to be selling the rest.
Domain names are fairly cheap to buy, i bought mine for less than £10 for 2 years. You can also buy them on a monthly fee which is probably best if you want to sell them quickly (something that i'll be trying soon).
Back to the auction, the reserve price i set was £50. The intial bid i recieved was £35 and now it's at £50 with about two and a half hours to go. The only constraint to the amount you will make is amount of money your buyer has. Good Domains can sell for thousands of pounds, and if you're lucky, millions.

Ok time for some site updates:
I've got a nice tutorial that will be featuring on BetMatching.co.uk soon. It's an expanded and more in-depth version of the Bet-Sleep-Bet strategy. This tutorial will be sent to people on the mailing list first, so if you've not joined up, sign up now!
I'm going to be working on Invest-Tips.com right now. I'll be making some changes to the articles and also adding some more for your reading pleasure. New additions will be added to my investment portfolio to diversify and lower risk.
----------------------------------
That's all for now, folks. Before i go and work on Invest-Tips, i just want to plug a new site that i own 50% of. It's a Stress Relief information site and you can find it here:
http://Stress.opencapital.ws
Take a look at it, study it and i'll tell you a secret about it in my next post :)
