This is the age where he who has the latest and most accurate information will win, both on the battlefield and in the marketplace. More and more people are turning to the Internet, in hopes of making a living online and it is the information that will separate the winners from the losers.

Making a living online is not near as easy as a lot of people make it out to be. The information is constantly changing and to make it tougher there is bad information mixed in with the good. Trying to figure out what works and what does not work requires testing, time, energy and a persistence to go without sleep, family, hobbies and entertainment, just to name a few.

I thought many times about posting and writing about the things we do, those things that allow us to make money online while others fail. However, trying to figure the best way to put the content together as well as the time needed and the question I constantly ask myself is, “why share that information?”

Anyway, I decided I am going to build 10 websites back to back in hopes of getting each website making $50 a day, ten websites doing $50.00 per day, adds up to about $15,000.00 per month, not bad for a little extra cash.

And if it all works out I’ll build another ten once I get the first ones working.

I am going to use a lot of affiliate programs but the techniques being used will work on any site.

Keep in mind that I am building in bulk and plan to make my money from many different sites, so some of the techniques that I can only spend minutes on would work better if I had more time to spend on them.

Also keep in mind that you may disagree with me on some of the techniques or even know of a better way to use them and for this reason I’ve set up the site so members can post comments at the bottom of each article.

And of course some of the techniques might not work with your business, but others will so you’ll have to choose what you want to use and not use from the site.

The first affiliate site I am going to work with is http://wristbandland.biz/ and the domain name is brand spanking new, so getting it to work is going to be a challenge.

I’ll be posting on http://designedtorank.net/ which is a member’s site; I set up just for me too post this type of information on. I want to try and control whose getting the information, so it could very well become a paid member’s site if it appears to start getting too many members.

I will break it down so you can skip around the site or read straight through the step by step information I am doing here.

I’ve always liked Shoemoney and always enjoyed what he has to say. He is one of those people that always seem to be on top of what is new and what is happening.

So I was not surprised when I learned that he had figured out a way to make money with Tweeter however I was surprised to find out he was making $15,000 per month with Tweeter are actually over $15,000 per month with Tweeter.

The article where he is talking about it is here I am just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience.

Everything I’m about to show you is based on the methods I use daily to make money. These methods can be applied to any online market.

Internet marketing is about targeting hungry buyers in places where the traffic is easy to find and will yield a return on our time and investment. Nothing I am about to show you is complex however, 90% of people marketing online fail to understand these concepts and therefore struggle to make money online.

The methods I am about to show you will work and I am not going to hold anything back however, you will need to take action to make it work.

Everything I am going to show you is based on real world experience. It’s been proven to make money for me over the years.

I am going to use an affiliate marketing site because it allows me to focus on the most important part of a successful online business, which is conversion and marketing.

I will use the website http://www.siliconewristband.org as an example site.

By targeting affiliate marketing, I do not have to worry about;

1. Having a product of the of my own
2. Customer support
3. Merchant accounts
4. Accepting payments online

Our goal is to convert as many visitors into buyers.

We will be doing this by focusing our attention on a very small percent of Google searches.

We need to understand how search engines work but even more importantly we need understand how the searchers search.

I would guess that about 80% of the searches that take place on the major search engines are for research. These are people who have no intention of purchasing anything online, they are looking for information. Therefore they will not be of any use to us and we will not target them in our search engine marketing.

I would also guess that about 30% are looking for information for a future purchase. These people who may or may not make a purchase in the future, we will not target them ether.

The smallest groups of searchers are the ones looking to purchase something right now. They understand what they are looking for, have the money and are ready to make a purchase.

These people will search by product names, model numbers, and will use terms like free shipping, discount, and bonus and so on and so on.

These are the people we want to target.

I did a post on making money online. I wanted to get a little more into some of the things you need to do but the post was getting so long I stoped before saying everything I wanted to say.

One of the things you need to understand is your competition and what your competition is doing.

There are all types of neat little tools you can use to do this, one of them is a plug-in for Firefox called SEO Quake and it is a pretty neat little plug-in.

As you search Google this tool can provide information such as:

• Age of a Domain
• Pages Indexed in Both Google & Yahoo
• Number of Other Sites Linking to a Domain

While understanding your competition is important something that is more important is having a good list of keywords.

Below is a list of a couple tools you can use to find keywords online for free.

I’ve been making my living online since the end of 2002 and have enjoyed every second of it, well…almost every second.

I guess one of the neatest things about making a living online is the people you meet and the willingness to share. So I thought I would share a little as well.

Lately we’ve been doing very well and it is due to the following:

• WordPress Blogs
• Social Media Sites
• Blogger Blogs
• Squidoo Lens

Making money online is about finding hungry buyers and convincing them that your product will make their life better, easier, more productive, happier and more profitable if they owned what it is you’re selling.

It’s a combination of the right website design and the right traffic.

I am going to focus on affiliate sales but the methods will work with anything. Affiliate marketing allows me to focus on marketing and not on:

o Products
o Custom Support
o Merchant Accounts
o Accepting Payments
o Shopping Carts
o Email Systems

This system is amazingly simple yet incredibly powerful.

Our Goal Is To Convert As Many Visitors into Buyers as Possible

We will do this by focusing on a small percent of Google searches that take place each and every day in massive quantities.

So here’s how it works;

I come with a product to sell and build a website around that product. The top part of the website has a call to action, and is set up just like any other website that would be selling that product.

Under the call to action is my WordPress blog.

I add a couple plug-ins like;

akismet
all-in-one-seo-pack
auto-social
easygravatars
global-translator
google-sitemap-generator
no-ping-wait
page-link-manager
pingcrawl
privacy-policy
seo-automatic-links
seo-image
sociable
statpress-reloaded
twitter-feed
twitter-tools
wp-auto-tagger
wp-smilies
yet-another-related-posts-plugin

Okay, now the idea is to create profiles on social media sites that will link back to my main site and I also interlink those profiles back and forth to one another. Along with those I also have a number of social bookmarking sites that I bookmark to.

I try and build enough back links to the site that there is no doubt Google knows about the website, at the same time that is going on I hire someone to add content to the blog.

We come up with a list of keywords and then we add keywords to those that we feel someone that was about to buy the product would add to those keywords.

For example;

Special Offers
Cheap
Discount
Order
Promotions
Free Shipping
Store
How Much
Quality
Best
Acquiring
Best Buy
Good Buys
Deal

We have an extremely long list of these types of words that we use.

The idea is to make about 20 posts per day.

And so far this has worked great for us and the neat thing is that it’s easy to set up and you can duplicate it over and over again.
