			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="clickbank" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NJiJ2hbWd24/SrlZxYjjqJI/AAAAAAAAAjg/Ixx1phNj9eI/s400/clickbank-logo.png" alt="" width="387" height="152" />I am not going to fill this post with all kinds of garbage, save of course this paragraph. This method<br />
is a complete start to finish system that encompasses everything I know and use to earn from<br />
ClickBank. Lately I hear a lot of people complain and claim shaving on ClickBank&#8217;s part. I have seen<br />
no difference, the problem is that what is hot today may not be tomorrow. I jump around between<br />
products I promote the second they start to drop off – please bear that in mind when using the methods<br />
to generate your ClickBank sales. That being said just follow my lead, learn each method and apply it to<br />
any product you see fit.</p>
<p><strong><span id="more-92"></span><br />
Choosing a Product:</strong><br />
Choosing a product should be the first part of any campaign and is crucial. You want a product that<br />
meets a few different criteria, most importantly the sales page and the product&#8217;s performance.<br />
The first thing that I look for when searching is the product&#8217;s performance. You want a product with<br />
high gravity and low refund rates. This indicates that a lot of people are able to make sales – and<br />
recently – and also the back end product is high enough quality where you wont get slammed with<br />
refunds next week (*cough* Forex EA *cough*). Many people argue that there is such a thing as too<br />
high of gravity, they are wrong. Not only is other people hyping something up going to give more<br />
publicity to the lead who lands at your site but saturation is relative. There is always going to be a<br />
bunch of long tail keywords to target that will be low competition. There is always going to be a new<br />
angle to throw at a new and untapped demographic. Pick out a product with a great gravity and very<br />
low refund rate. While we&#8217;re on that topic you deduce the refund rate by looking at what the price per<br />
sale is according to what it should be, if it is much lower then there are a lot of refunds, if it very close<br />
then there are hardly any.<br />
The next factor that we want to look at is the sales page itself. There are usually going to be at least a<br />
couple of products in a given niche so check out the pages. You can run with a great presell<br />
but at the end of the day it is up to the quality of the sales page. Look for good graphics, and a solid call to action.<br />
Traditionally the site with the highest gravity will also have the best landing page but it is worth it to<br />
check around and also to split test in initial stages of your campaign to see which one performs better.<br />
You should also take into account if one of the pages plays more to a specific angle so that you can<br />
switch between them depending on the long tail keywords you are targeting further down the road.</p>
<p><strong><br />
The Webpage:</strong><br />
This is a key part of my system. You will need one domain for each product, make it keyword rich as<br />
we are not going to be going after type in traffic anyways. Something similar to the product name is a<br />
good idea. This page is going to contain many elements to be used with the various promotion<br />
techniques. Let&#8217;s just cover these real quick:<br />
✔ TLD – the top level domain, or TLD, will be the root page (what you upload for the index.html<br />
file). I always make this a redirect straight to the product, this comes in handy in a number of<br />
situations where you want to remove a presell landing page and thus an extra step the buyer has<br />
to take before he or she brings you a commission. Open up a new notepad document and put the<br />
following in there:</p>
<p>Redirect:</p>
<p>&lt;html&gt;<br />
&lt;head&gt;<br />
&lt;title&gt;Redirect&lt;/title&gt;<br />
&lt;META httpequiv=&#8221;<br />
refresh&#8221; content=&#8221;0;URL=http://www.YOURURL.com&#8221;&gt;<br />
&lt;/head&gt;<br />
&lt;body bgcolor=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221;&gt; &lt;center&gt;The contents you are looking for have moved. You will be<br />
redirected to the new location automatically. Please bookmark the correct page at &lt;a<br />
href=&#8221;http://www.YOURURL.com&#8221;&gt; http://www.YOURURL.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/center&gt;<br />
&lt;/body&gt;<br />
&lt;/html&gt;</p>
<p>Replace the three URLs with your ClickBank hoplink for this particular product. Now save this<br />
and then rename it to &#8216;index.html&#8217; and upload it to the server corresponding to your domain.<br />
✔ Basic onsite SEO and AdWords friendly pages. We will pump out some basic pages here, they<br />
will include a &#8216;terms of service&#8217;, &#8216;contact us&#8217;, &#8216;privacy policy&#8217; and finally a &#8217;site explorer&#8217;. The<br />
first three you can generate from free online sources (example search Google for &#8216;free terms of<br />
service generator&#8217;) with just plugging in your website&#8217;s info. With each of these pages you will<br />
link between the three as well as the &#8217;site explorer&#8217; page. These serve the purpose of helping you<br />
rank better in search engines, especially when going up against a bunch of single page landers,<br />
as well as giving you a boost in quality score (and thus lower bids/more display time) when<br />
running an AdWords campaign. Your &#8217;site explorer&#8217; page will be a regularly updated index. It<br />
will link to these three pages you just made as well as to each individual article that you place<br />
on your website. We will get to a couple of great methods for getting 100% free articles soon so<br />
don&#8217;t worry if your English is sub par. Each time you add an article it should also be its own<br />
page with a longtail keyword as the URL, something such as makingcornoilfromhusks.<br />
html, you get the idea. We will cover more on what these articles should contain when we get to them.<br />
✔ Landing pages. You will regularly come across different presell angles for your product –<br />
things that the sales page did not cover or do no focus on enough. As an example if promoting<br />
Earth4Energy you may want to emphasize the fact that you can reduce your carbon footprint at<br />
home without changing your lifestyle. Now although the sales page touches on this you can<br />
make a lander all about it and really target more long tail keywords with less competition as well<br />
as a whole other demographic as compared to those looking simply to save money. With each of<br />
these pages you should link to your three pages above and the &#8217;site explorer&#8217; page in the footer.<br />
Every time you mention the product simply link to it via your TLD redirect, this gives a clean<br />
looking URL for people to click on. If you are horrible at website design it really doesn&#8217;t matter,<br />
most good products have premade landing pages ready for you to just plug your sales pitch into.<br />
A sales pitch needs to contain the problem, what someone is lacking which this product would<br />
solve. It also needs to contain the positive points of the product, as pertaining to the identified<br />
product. Finally it needs a strong calltoaction – a reason to buy the product; make the<br />
customer wonder how they ever lived without it and make them buy it right now.<br />
✔ Optin mailing list. If you have taken the time to build this website then I strongly urge you to<br />
take it a step further and gather as many optins as possible. These are going to be niche targeted<br />
people that you can use to make sales down the road. I will cover in more detail how to go about<br />
converting these leads later on but for now be sure to put in an optin form on each article and<br />
landing page. Promise something such as &#8216;free energy saving tips&#8217; if promoting Earth4Energy, as<br />
an example. I strongly suggest using Aweber as they have the best features and inbox rates but if<br />
you are looking for a 100% free solution Bravenet offers this. That&#8217;s all you need to know about<br />
this at the moment, I will cover in detail exactly what to do with this list later on.<br />
That&#8217;s it for our website, as stated before we will be adding article pages to further ramp up our search<br />
engine rankings as well as to target more long tail keywords which we can soft sell in our articles. First<br />
I am going to cover two very black hat ways of getting as many free, and unique, articles as you can<br />
find. Remember, this is black hat if you are a very ethical person then simply write these yourself or<br />
pay someone to write them for you.<br />
We are now going to do a basic promotion, beyond this our other methods will add backlinks and<br />
content as they go so this is sort of a one time deal. The first thing I am going to do is to submit all of<br />
my landing pages and my &#8217;site explorer&#8217; page to all of the top social bookmarking sites. I do this with<br />
the free service from Onlywire.com; if you do not have an account go make one because we are going<br />
to be using this service fairly often. This will provide you with about 20 or so backlinks and some good<br />
bursts of traffic as well.<br />
Next I am going to make some blog comments to get some more backlinks. Remember, always use your<br />
name field for your desired anchor text and the URL field for your URL. Then make the body of the<br />
comment link free and on topic with the blog post, this will insure your comment passes moderation<br />
and stays up forever. Add about 10 of these links to each landing page that you have setup, this will do<br />
for our initial promotion.</p>
<p><strong><br />
Get Unlimited Free Copyscape Passed Articles – The Black Hat Way:</strong><br />
I debated long and hard on whether or not to include this portion. The fact of the matter<br />
is that it would be unfair for me to leave out any part as this is exactly what I do for my<br />
ClickBank system. That being said if you are not into black hat then you can easily<br />
outsource article rewrites or write 250 word articles yourself. This next part is optional<br />
but it is how I go about it.<br />
Articles are a large part of my strategy. I like them because once they&#8217;re up they are up and they<br />
generate you passive sales. I also like them because you can target a different long tail keyword with<br />
each one. That being said my general rule for articles is to place 1 in 5 on my website, the other 4 will<br />
be submitted to Ezine because it naturally ranks very will in Google with no backlink building<br />
necessary.<br />
Anyone who has a lot of articles will make a lot of money, so let me show you how to get a lot of<br />
articles.</p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Craigslist Method :</strong><br />
To begin you want to pick major cities, the top 25 ones, and post an ad stating that you are a Freelance<br />
Writing company in – whatever area you are posting – looking to hire part time people to write 300 –<br />
500 word articles at a rate of $10 per article. This should be posted in services or jobs if the city does<br />
not require a fee for posting in the jobs section. Make the post attractive; be sure to mention that the<br />
work can be done from home and on a wide variety of topics. Include an email<br />
address as a contact for you.<br />
Here is an example post of mine:<br />
“We are hiring freelance writers to write articles for us part time. We are a media and content service<br />
based in Baltimore who provides articles to online sources. Pay is $10 flat rate per every 250400<br />
word article; topics vary widely and cover nearly every niche.<br />
Workload is extremely flexible; write as many or as few articles as you want, paid immediately per<br />
submission of each article. Great part time job for college student!<br />
Please contact Linnea DeRose at Human Resources via Linnead@***.com if interested, thank you.”<br />
You will notice that I use a domain name for the email,<br />
this is not necessary but lends more credibility<br />
than using say Gmail or Hotmail. You can setup an email<br />
address with the domain you bought for your<br />
website if you like.<br />
Post this ad up, minor changes of course as Craigslist will flag you if all ads are identical, in all of the<br />
top cities. You will soon get a flood of emails<br />
coming in. Email each user back manually with a<br />
generic email which reads something like the following, which is my actual email response:<br />
“Thank you for your interest in our freelance writing position. We still have many vacant positions left<br />
to fill in order to meet our current workload. To finalize you as a freelance writer we need the<br />
following:<br />
1. A Sample article. This must be 100% unique – we check the web for plagiarized content, please<br />
exhibit appropriate English grammar, spelling and punctuation. Article word length must be<br />
between 250 and 400 words. Sample topic: Save Money with Homemade Solar Panels.<br />
2. Preferred payment method. We pay via PayPal, Check and Cash available for pickup at our<br />
office.<br />
Once you have completed your article and selected a payment option please email<br />
me back at<br />
Linnead@****.com so that I may have the opportunity to review your application”</p>
<p>That is all that there is to it, you will start having 100% unique and fresh articles poor in, the quality<br />
will be tremendous as well as they are trying to get on board with you. If you choose to you may email<br />
them back and tell them they “did not meet the strict standards of your company” or simply ignore<br />
them. Ads usually will yield articles for a few days before needing to be reposted, with this method I net<br />
around 50 articles daily in about an hour – Craigslist posting and email<br />
responses total!</p>
<p><strong><br />
Forum Method</strong><br />
This is basically the same exact thing. Check out GetaFreeLancer.com or similar forums where people<br />
are looking for quick private writing gigs. Make a post that looks much like the Craigslist one, it should<br />
read something like:<br />
“We are hiring freelance writers to write articles for us part time. We are a media and content service<br />
based that provides articles to online sources. Pay is $10 flat rate per every 250 – 400 word article;<br />
topics vary widely and cover nearly every niche. Workload is extremely flexible; write as many or as few articles as you want, paid immediately per submission of each article via PayPal. Great part time job for college student!<br />
Please contact Linnea DeRose at Human Resources via Linnead@***.com if interested, thank you.”<br />
Now all you have to do is wait for the responses to roll in and then reply back to them, in the very same<br />
manner as before:<br />
“Thank you for your interest in our freelance writing position. We still have many vacant positions left<br />
to fill in order to meet our current workload. To finalize you as a freelance writer we need the<br />
following:<br />
1. A Sample article. This must be 100% unique – we check the web for plagiarized content, please<br />
exhibit appropriate English grammar, spelling and punctuation. Article word length must be<br />
between 250 and 400 words. Sample topic is Saving Money with Homemade Solar Panels.<br />
2. Preferred Contact Method. To receive new articles we may contact you via email,<br />
MSN or<br />
AIM. Please choose a preferred contact method and provide details.<br />
Once you have completed your article and selected a contact method please email<br />
me back at<br />
Linnead@****.com so that I may have the opportunity to review your application”<br />
Again if this is too black hat for you simply write your own articles or hire an article writer/rewriter.<br />
However, I make a good chunk of change off of articles and it directly relates to the volume of articles<br />
that I have up.<br />
<strong>Article Marketing:</strong><br />
Now that we have a bunch of articles it is time to make use of them. With each article we are going to<br />
target a different long tail keyword, the text in the body should be close enough where just our title and<br />
description will do this for us.<br />
1 in every 5 of these articles that I have obtained for free will go on my blog. With these articles I will<br />
link back to the &#8217;site explorer&#8217; page and the other three pages in my footer – making a new page for each<br />
article. I will also edit my &#8217;site explorer&#8217; page to link to this article once it is up. I will make the URL<br />
and meta title/description information target my long tail keyword. Many people do keyword research –<br />
AdWords is great for this – but I personally get so many free articles that I just pump out long tails that<br />
sound good to me.<br />
Within the text of the body I will add a call to action at the end of the article. In the example we are<br />
using of solar panel articles at the end I will add a line saying something such as &#8216;If you want to save<br />
money at home on your electricity bills with solar panels but don&#8217;t want to pay huge start up costs then<br />
check out Earth4Energy&#8217;. &#8216;Earth4Energy&#8217; will be hyperlinked to my TLD which is a clean looking<br />
redirect to the merchants sales page.<br />
That&#8217;s it for my on site article usage. What this allows me to do is to add to the overall quality of my site<br />
which boosts the individual landing pages on it. This also ranks these articles for the desired long tail<br />
keywords and brings in traffic from these search terms.<br />
Now, my remaining 4 out of 5 articles will go to Ezine. This is simply because Ezine ranks so well in<br />
search engines that I can target more competitive keywords and still rank very well for them. In addition<br />
this provides me with an opportunity to gain links to my website that I have setup.<br />
Ezine is a bit more strict; your title must be somewhat relevant to the content. Because of this we can<br />
target long tail keywords but make sure to tie it into the article. As an example if the article was about<br />
&#8216;the benefits of solar panels&#8217; but you wanted to target &#8217;save money with solar panels&#8217; then you could<br />
make your title something such as &#8216;Learn about saving money and other benefits of solar panels&#8217;. Your<br />
description is also a great place to plug some keywords. Usually I recycle my title by rewording it 23<br />
times using the same keywords I&#8217;m after. This will insure I rank for my desired long tail phrase.<br />
Now what I am going to do in the resources box, the place where I leave a link, is to link to an angle<br />
specific lander – more for link juice then anything – and also link straight to the redirect. I will put the<br />
redirect first making sure to use a call to action that fits with my keyword/phrase, in this example &#8216;Start<br />
saving money today with a cheap home solar panel.&#8217; &#8217;solar panel&#8217; will be linked to my redirect. The<br />
next sentence would say &#8216; Learn more about the many ways you can save money at home with<br />
homemade solar panels without breaking the bank on your initial investment&#8217;. In this case I would link<br />
&#8216;homemade solar panels&#8217; to my angle specific landing page that I have built about the benefits of<br />
building a solar panel at home to save money.<br />
I now have an article that will either get someone to the product page or get them to my presell<br />
landing page about the very thing they are interested in. This article will also provide a good backlink for my<br />
presell landing page which will increase its search engine ranking and allow it to gain more natural<br />
Google traffic.<br />
Now is where Onlywire.com comes in again. Either these articles are targeting very long tail/low<br />
competition keywords on your site or have the natural power of Ezine. In either case you don&#8217;t need to<br />
spend all day building backlinks. Simply submit each article to Onlywire.com service and you have<br />
about 20 decent links going which will put you ahead of the others who did nothing with their article.</p>
<p><strong><br />
eBay Want it Now:</strong><br />
Now that I have a website up and running it is time to go &#8216;pound the pavement&#8217; so to speak and actually<br />
seek out individual buyers.<br />
eBay Want it Now is really a great little corner of the Internet for selling things to people. Here is the<br />
very simple method of making some immediate daily ClickBooth sales off of this website.<br />
I want it now is eBay&#8217;s marketplace which allows users to post that they want to buy something that<br />
they cannot find. Then, sellers may respond via a form with the link to their auction. There is one fatal<br />
flaw to this system that we are about to exploit the hell out of and that is the fact that they let you send a<br />
message to the person who wants something&#8217;s email right from a form there; seriously, could they<br />
make it any easier for us?<br />
To get started you will need an eBay account and I recommend you make a new one for this because we<br />
are going to be borderline spamming, although not really in my eyes because the person is, after all,<br />
soliciting sales pitches on a desired product. Your account does not need to have a credit card/seller<br />
abilities tied to it. Just create a new one real quick and run with it. Now head over to the Want it Now<br />
website which can be found at:<br />
http://pages.ebay.com/wantitnow/index.html<br />
From here just run a search for &#8216;Sellers&#8217; with a keyword that your ClickBank product fits. In this case I<br />
am going to run with &#8217;solar panel&#8217;. In order to send them a little message use the box that says &#8216;Ask a<br />
question about this post&#8217;. If you try to actually respond it will require you to use an eBay listing but this<br />
way you can put anything that your little heart desires.<br />
A little tip – they don&#8217;t need to be looking for your exact product. As an example, if they are looking for<br />
a solar panel unit then send them a message saying that you bought one and it ended up being really<br />
overpriced. Your next unit you built from instructions and it only cost you $150 for a unit, the best part<br />
is the instructions came with a full DVD walk through and list for acquiring all the materials. I got it<br />
from YOURTLDREDIRECT.com (wont let you add active links so just do them like that).<br />
So I have located a few postings for people looking for almost my exact product – which is what I go for<br />
first before trying to steer people from other products towards mine as I did above. This method is<br />
pretty easy to get near 100% conversions on because these people were actually already looking to pay<br />
money right now for the exact product I am going to show them how to get for free, their credit card is<br />
already in hand. I will send them a message that will look something like this:<br />
Hey,<br />
I saw that you were looking for some instructions on how to build a solar panel unit. Just wanted to<br />
share that I tried a few sets and there was one that included video tutorials as well as how to get the<br />
materials for cheap/free. I got it over @ YOURTLDREDIRECT.com Just thought I&#8217;d give you a heads<br />
up, wish someone would&#8217;ve saved me from buying some junk the first time around!</p>
<p>See how easy that was? This method will result in an almost guaranteed sale because they are looking<br />
for the exact product I am promoting and probably already had their credit card out ready to spend.<br />
Who doesn&#8217;t like to get something that comes highly recommended as opposed to buying from someone<br />
recommending their own auction?<br />
If you have chosen a ClickBank product that doesn&#8217;t have any exact/close matches you can always spin<br />
it, as mentioned above. As an example, people looking for a used French dictionary may be very keen<br />
on some free French auido lessons. Use your imagination – the trick is to downsell<br />
whatever they are looking for and then plug/upsell whatever you are offering to change their mind.</p>
<p><strong><br />
Yahoo! Answers:</strong><br />
This method is pretty straight forward and classic. I think if you have been involved with CB for any<br />
period of time you probably already know it but it is still a part of my system so I am still going to share<br />
it with you. Plus, there may be a few slight differences so I suggest you at least read this section.<br />
The first thing to do is to create two Yahoo! Answers accounts. I suggest you make them on separate IP<br />
addresses if you can, if not it is really not that big of a deal I just like to take extra precautions whenever<br />
possible. We will call these accounts: Account 1 and Account 2 (yes, I am about the most creative<br />
person you will probably ever have the pleasure of encountering).<br />
With Account 1 you will make a couple of posts. The trick here is that Yahoo! Answers ranks extremely<br />
well in Google so you want to make your title the phrase that a person would be searching for and you<br />
are sure to capture a spot somewhere in the top 13 places. The other thing is you want it to also look<br />
like a question so that users over at Yahoo! Answers don&#8217; report you and get your question taken down.<br />
For this campaign I will make 5 questions to start with all of which just popped into my head. Probably<br />
tomorrow I will do a little keyword research (Google AdWords rocks for this if you have an account) to<br />
see what kind of things get a lot of search traffic related to free business cards and I will post up a few<br />
more questions. My questions today are going to be, posted with Account 1:<br />
How to Build a Homemade Solar Panel Unit?<br />
Where to Get Online DIY Solar Panel Instructions?<br />
Where to Find Homemade Solar Panel Instructions?<br />
How to Build DIY Solar Panels?<br />
How to Save Money on Electricity at Home?<br />
That was pretty easy. I suggest you put a line or two in the body of the question so that you don&#8217;t get<br />
flagged as spam. Usually you can just reword the question again to be quick about this.<br />
Now I am going to come back with Account 2 and answer all of these questions saying something like:</p>
<p>Hey,<br />
I built my solar panels from the instructions that I found over at YOURTLDREDIRECT.com. Worked<br />
out great!</p>
<p>Just a note here, obviously you want to make your answer match up well with the question that you<br />
asked.<br />
That was pretty easy. In a couple of days I will simply come back and log on to Account 1 and then<br />
choose this as my &#8216;Best Answer&#8217; which puts it up there for everyone who comes from Google to see.<br />
One little note here is that each day I create two new accounts because eventually, if you make too many<br />
posts like this, your account will be closed down. Having many accounts means that you will not lose<br />
all of your posts if an account is closed. This is one of my favorite ClickBank methods because each<br />
question/answer can bring in passive leads/sales for months on end with very little work. To help with<br />
linking and also for questions on angles that the sales page does not cover well I will link certain<br />
questions to my angle specific landing pages. This helps you get backlinks, helps make a more targeted<br />
sales pitch and provides the opportunity to collect an optin email lead.</p>
<p><strong><br />
Marketing to Niche Forums:</strong><br />
A really great avenue for targeted leads is niche forums. Forums tend to revolve around a specific topic<br />
so there are always going to be some forums out there that consist of your target demographic for a<br />
specific CB product. In this instance I am going to target a few forums based on green power; down the<br />
road though I may expand this into forums on solar panels, the environment, etc. Usually any given<br />
product has a ton of niches where people that are spending their free time talking about something<br />
would be very interested in a free product that matches up with this interest of theirs.<br />
My forum marketing technique is a three pronged one. From very white hat to very black hat. If you are<br />
not comfortable with the black hat then simply leave it out; it is not a crucial step to this method or to<br />
my campaign overall but it does bring in a few easy sales.<br />
The first, and probably best known, forum marketing strategy is to simply hit up Google and find some<br />
forums that will be loaded with proper people for the offer that you plan to push. I am starting today by<br />
signing up for three forums, this process will be repeated tomorrow with another 25 forums and continue like this daily. I choose to use new forums rather than the same ones to increase exposure on individual forums for the same reason I use multiple methods to promote a CB product in my system – diversification.<br />
For this approach all that we are going to do is to edit our signature to promote the offer. In this case I<br />
will make it read &#8216;DIY Green Energy Solutions&#8217; as I am on &#8216;green power&#8217; based forums. If I were on<br />
solar panel forums I would pump the solar panel aspect, etc. Now I will, of course, hyperlink this to the<br />
redirect page that I set up earlier. Be sure to get a bit fancy here, use some colors, make it bold and<br />
change up the font. You now have an appealing, and very white hat/passive, advertisement for your<br />
offer. All that is left now is to post in some threads. Here are the two types of threads to post in:<br />
1. You want to post in threads that are very active/highly viewed. Always make your posts relevant<br />
and never lead them to your signature – this will insure that your posts stick for long periods of<br />
time to generate slow and passive sales.<br />
2. Many forums rank well in Google so start your own threads. Something such as &#8216;Green energy<br />
solutions at home&#8217; and do a little post about solar panels and wind turbines. Now, when someone<br />
searches Google for this phrase they find this forum post and see an informative write up by me<br />
followed by a pretty link to click.<br />
That&#8217;s all there is to it. I will make 1-2 topics on each forum and try to casually post in about 10 other<br />
active threads and then move on to the next forum. I will now select two new forums for today, some days I will do more but since I set up my campaign today and this is kind of time intensive I will leave it at two. This time I am going to be somewhat less subtle with my advertising – yet not pushy either. I am going to find threads where people are actually looking for information on DIY solar panels (use search even old posts work well) and then I will post a<br />
reply looking something like:<br />
I recently built my own solar panel unit at home. It was WAY cheaper than having a professional come<br />
to do the install and was surprisingly a whole lot easier than I had originally anticipated. If you want to<br />
go this route and save a little cash you can check them out at YOURTLDREDIRECT.com.<br />
The thing here is that this does still seem somewhat spammy so I will only do a couple of posts at each<br />
forum otherwise you will get banned and these posts will have been for nothing. Not only do you stand<br />
to turn the thread starter and a few forum surfers into leads but in the long term this thread will still be<br />
visible from Google and others will bite on your CB product as well.<br />
My final forum strategy is not for the faint of heart but really does work well, so well in fact that I have<br />
actually purchased a tool for it for cheap. I am talking about PM, or private message, marketing. You<br />
know that people on these forums are already targeted so you have a list (in the form of the forum&#8217;s<br />
memberlist) of targeted potential leads ready to be contacted in front of you. Now all that you need to<br />
do is get your message across.<br />
The first thing to note is that, much like Craigslist, you are most certainly going to want to have a<br />
backstory here otherwise not only will you make no sales but you will be reported and banned from the<br />
forum. In this instance I have quickly thought up the following message which I will use my tool to<br />
send – again this can be done manually but when you can message the whole forum automatically you<br />
are looking at some serious $$ for very minimal time.<br />
PM Title:<br />
Hey!<br />
PM Message Body:<br />
Hi there,<br />
I saw that you were interested in some &#8216;green&#8217; solutions for power your home in that thread. I would<br />
recommend you stay away from having a contractor do it – they really overcharge. I did this initially<br />
but my second batch of solar panels I put up myself with the guide from:<br />
http://www . YOURTLDREDIRECT .com<br />
Hope ya like it and best of luck!<br />
That&#8217;s it I will now mail this out to everyone, or if you are doing it manually spend an hour or so on it.<br />
If you would like the tool I developed Mass PM Marketer to automate this, then head over to: http://<br />
www.nouru.com it has a retail price of $27 which is not bad because you can make that on one sale.<br />
That is all there is for my niche forum marketing method, just rinse and repeat these steps tomorrow on<br />
new forums for more fresh short and long term leads. Also, if you are targeting niche forums and want<br />
to work a different angle than the sales page this is another chance to link to one of the landing pages<br />
you have built on a specific angle.</p>
<p><strong><br />
Free Blogger.com Hosted Auto Blogs:</strong><br />
One of the best ways to make long term and very passive sales is via niche auto blogs. I got started with<br />
these quite some time ago for AdSense income and found they do really well with CB products as well.<br />
This is because you can literally set one up in a couple of minutes, do one time promotion, and then<br />
have this blog bringing in 20500 targeted visitors daily to funnel to your CB product or landing pages.<br />
I eliminate the overhead by using Blogger.com hosted blogs without domains so I don&#8217;t have to pay for<br />
hosting plus $5 a year for the domain – this really is very handy!<br />
The first thing you need to do is navigate your way over to Blogger.com and sign up. You may already<br />
have an account but you will want to create each blog on a new one due to the fact that auto blogs are<br />
occasionally banned when reported.<br />
Now create a new blog and customize it a bit. Be sure to insert some big links and presells for your CB<br />
product before the first post and in the sidebar, this is also a good time to use all of those banners that<br />
the CB publisher provides on their affiliates page which you thought would never come in handy.<br />
Now go to ‘Settings’ and then ‘Email’.<br />
You’re going to create a new email that will be used as your ‘MailtoBlogger’ email.<br />
It should look like: yourbloggername.whateveryoulike@blogger.com. Under the emailsetting click where it says ‘Publish Emails Immediately’.<br />
What you have now done is set up this blog, hosted on Blogger.com/BlogSpot.com, to automatically<br />
post whatever contents come into your email.<br />
Now you’re getting the auto picture&#8230; right? From here all you have to do is to get fresh emails into your inbox, easy enough!<br />
I am sure you have seen a whole crap ton of people trying to get you to opt in to their various niche<br />
related mailing lists. Like me you probably always stayed well away, while now you see that they are<br />
actually good for something! The majority of these mailings lists actually send out personalized<br />
lessons, with a subtle sales pitch only one in four or five mailings to keep you subscribed. Most mailers,<br />
at least the good ones, created theses mailings themselves which means you actually now have not only<br />
a good sized series of niche specific emails coming in, to be automatically turned into blog posts, but a<br />
good percentage of the time it is valuable info that is 100% copyscape passed unique content! Show me<br />
how even a paid auto blog can do that without rewriting to the point of obvious machine jumbled crap!</p>
<p>Now you will note that most mailings have a limited course. Because of this I recommend you<br />
subscribe this blog to a new mailing list once a month. This will only take you about 5 seconds per blog<br />
per month, you can even leave it with your 30 or so unique articles and it will continue to generate<br />
traffic and income for years but really is 5 seconds that big of a headache? I usually jot down the day<br />
that I started in a notepad document and then everyday head back and look for the blogs created one<br />
month ago to add them to a new mailing list. I do 5 new blogs a day which takes me about 10 minutes<br />
total to find quality lists for them all, use Google it is your friend! Note that while we will be doing our<br />
backlink building as well as the blog&#8217;s title and overall meta description based around a long tail<br />
keyword/keyphrase the mailing list can be from a much more mainstream keyword – it doesn&#8217;t matter it<br />
is still relevant content to your targeted rankings in Google and is much easier to find mailing lists this<br />
way.<br />
You should have chosen a long tail keyword for your niche, this is because – unlike regular blogs – you<br />
are going for volume rather than individual effort. Instead of a niche on ‘lipstick’ go for a niche of ‘dark<br />
red lipstick shades’. What this will allow you to do is to conduct an initial one time promotion and then<br />
easily hit page 1 of Google without ever having to work on backlinks again! For this sample campaign<br />
my first autoblog that I created today is built around the long tail phrase of &#8216;tips for losing weight<br />
without exercising quickly&#8217;, the competition is fairly low and it will most likely rank for a few other long<br />
tails that are in that phrase as well. I use this as the title for the blog and open up the editor to add a<br />
meta description tag for all posts where I can use these keywords a few times for even better results in<br />
search engine placement.<br />
Depending on your desired keyword your traffic is going to be targeted slightly differently. For general<br />
traffic that fits the sales page simply promote the redirect. For more targeted traffic that fits in with one<br />
of your angle specific landing pages promote this page (some more free backlinks – holla!).<br />
All that you will need to do, with your microsub niche, for promotion is the classic 5 minute two step.</p>
<p>1. Submit your blog to the top social bookmarking sites with your long<br />
tail keywords as the anchor text (the title of the ‘story’). Again use<br />
Onlywire.com here. Use your KW in the title and description.<br />
2. A few more links for good measure. Be sure to find 2-5<br />
related blog posts and quickly comment on them. The quickest way to do this and<br />
still remain not looking like spam is to put your URL in the URL box<br />
only and to just read a comment, then reply to the comment like this:<br />
@ Jim23 – I agree with what you’re saying about Obama but I still<br />
won’t vote for him!</p>
<p>Boom! You got a relevant blog comment, with your link, that will pass<br />
even moderated blogs!<br />
Hope you enjoyed that, as you can see it is pretty simple. People coming to this blog from Google will<br />
now see a sloppy ugly blog they don&#8217;t want to sift through and the only links around will be to your CB<br />
product, so naturally with them being targeted visitors anyways they will go check it out and you will<br />
make some passive sales.<br />
<strong>Optin Mailing List:</strong><br />
Don&#8217;t worry, I didn&#8217;t forget about you should be doing with your mailing list that you setup on your<br />
landers. By now you should have traffic coming in and people ready to get some useful tips to their<br />
inbox. I cannot stress enough how valuable targeted mailing lists are, not only can you use these to<br />
make a sale to those who did not buy but you have a list of people, in a niche, who buy CB products.<br />
You can now market them another niche related product and even do joint ventures where you trade<br />
with another person and market each other&#8217;s products.<br />
So, you have lured the member to optinto your list by providing something free, in this Earth4Energy<br />
example this is a report on how to save money on electricity around the house. What you will want to<br />
do now is search for a PLR ebook on this; a simple Google search should yield a lot of free stuff.<br />
Break this up into 300-400 word parts and set them up as a series to be mailed out every other day.<br />
Include no sales pitch the first day. After this every other mailing include a subtle sales pitch at the<br />
bottom of the mailing; alternate 50% between the product you are promoting and 50% between another<br />
CB product in the same niche – this way you can get more sales from people that have already<br />
purchased your original product. Remember, light on the spam – only include a soft sales pitch below<br />
the content of your mailing list.<br />
You may also approach other affiliates or publishers and exchange a mailing blast, you promote their<br />
link and they promote yours. This is a great way to get some more free sales although you will need a<br />
sizable list before anyone takes this offer seriously.<br />
